Born without Ears, But Made to Hear.

Born without Ears, But Made to Hear.
From the New Castle News.
Living in North Beaver township this
county, is a man named Wilson, who has
little daughter aged two years and
which was born without ears. On one
side Of the face there was no sign of an
outward ear, the side being perfectly
smooth, while On the other side there was
little cartilage, but it had grown over
the canal. The other organs of the child
were perfect, with the exception of the
jaw, which was badly shaped. On Sun
day the physicians performed the difficult
operation of making an opening, and
found a perfect inner ear by cutting
through the integument to the bony OPEN
ing into the inner ear. They then formed
as perfect an outer ear as possible from
the flesh and the little one is able to hear
perfectly.

Mr.. BLAINE, after most successful
tour of the States OF Indiana, Michigan,
Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois, has
returned to New York State, from
whence he started, having left along
the entire line of his route the most
sanguine hope Of success. His pre-
sence among the people has done
great good for the party, going right
into those States where his msligners
have cast their bitterest invectives,
and told the most absurd lies; facing
as he has done before his enemies in
their strougholde, and appealing d.
rectly to the people for vindication.
How unlike Mr.. Cleveland, who has
been putting in twelve hours day at
Albany, and done nothing but write
letter to Mrs. Beecher.

The late Dr. Macadam used to tell of a
tipsy Scotchman making his way home
upon bright Sunday morning when the
good folk were vending their way to the
kirk. A little dog pulled a ribbon from
the hand of a lady who was leading it,
and as it ran from her she appealed to the
first passer- by, who happened to be the
inebriate, asking him to whistle for her
poodle.

lemnity of visage which only Scotchman
can assume, woman, this is no day for

Americanism. The issues of 1861
are still before the country, notwith-

 It is our good fortune to have our homo within three minutes walk of the southern entrance of Temple street through the Green We have been there at all hours lingering under it's eInas have arisen from our sluR- bsrs just az the grand procession of stars was melting from vision, and gone there while the city was yet asleep, while scarce 8 soul was in sight and scarce distant sound in the air, and looked up the sombre archway of Temple street enveloped in 8 lsafy gloom, ths shades of night still lingering there. while in the distance, half 8 mile away st it's termination, broke in the early light that the great sun itself had sent on to tell that he was speeding on, near at hand, with his grateful warning beams just around the curve of our world, coming on in silence and maj sssy. Such is the lingering of night up that grand leafy cathedral aisle. The scene slow ly changes Gradually steals on the light. The tall tree forms, that in the gloom have looked like grim sentinels and the foliage of their lefty crowns that have been buried in darkness, grow more and more distinct until at last the smiling rays strike athwart the Ieafy tops and across the avenue at the points of street crossings blocks away; and where in the distance an occasional moving figure is seen for 6 moment, 8 mere atom to the eve, and then vanishes. Who they are we know not, only that those tiny dots are each freighted with the cares and responsi- bilities of humanity, can rear palaces and measure the pathway of the stars
 Beautiful is the fading day upon our Green, but far more beautiful the brighten ing morn. Day dies there amid the noise and chatter and often heat and dust Of the busy working city. Morning is born there in silence and purity. The air is cool and sweet and every blade of grass holds up it's crystal dewy giobnles as welcome offering ready for the coming sun to light them into beauty and exhals them into the skies.

 It is said, good-sized army. Such is life. Many noblemsn of Russian Poland have joined in publishing an interesting address to
 their countrymen in the Polish journals of
 the city of Posen. They call upon the Poles
 of every station and of both sexes to abstain
 from all extravagsnt expenditure at the com-
 ing carnival festivities, especially costly din-
 ners and balls, and above all to avoid the
 ruinous games of hazard to which they are
 so strongly addicted. They also urge the practice of self denial and economy in the
 future upon all occasions, and assert that
 reckless and prodigal habits, indifference to
 money, and lavish and extravagant display, are turned to advantage by greedy foreigners, who absorb the wezlth that the natives so
 foolishly throw away, and thereby gradually
 become possessed of the estates of the nobil ity and crowd them out of their ancsstra
 homes. The Kurier Poznanskl, in urging this address upon the attention of it's readers, states that the amount of land in the prov inos of Posen that is now in the possession ~
 ceed that held by the native Poles by nearly fifty per cent. German land owners have acquired title to 3,9sS, 400 acres, while in the hands of the former masters of the country there remain only 2. 872. 600 acres.

Leonard Henkle, an inventor and elsctri- oian who lives in Rochester, New York, has great scheme on hand. He says that although the action of the New York legisla- ture in favor of the National park compels him to abandon Prospect park and the Amer ican side of Niagara for electric lighting purposes, he has nevertheless negotiated for the purchase of land on the Canada side of the river and for power from the Great Horseshoe Fall for carrying out his original plan. That plan contemplated the lighting of sixty-five American and Canadian cities connected by mears of underground cables with electric lights generated at Niagara. The plans are all drawn for ten hydraulic engines of 100000 horse power each and gigantic machinery. All that Henkle wants some enthusiastic capitalists to furnish is twenty-two millions of dollars.
