ASCENT OF MOUNT RANrER.-J. w.
Fobes, Richard G. welts and George
James, three young men residing in
Snohomish. one of them being minis
ter and one a school teacher, reached
Seattle on Sunday after an ascent of
Mount Rainier. They reported having
reached the top OF the mountain after
much difficulty and labor. They exam
med three large volcanic oraters, two of
which appeared to be extinct. The
third emitted sulphurous smoke and
steam, the escaping smoke and steam
being scalding bot. At the very summit
OF the mountain these gentlemen found
piece of sheet lead, upon which was
scratched the names OF w. @. Ewing.

and Edward I. Colman, q member of
the Alpine Club and now a resident of
England, who on the 18th day of 0cto-
Der, 1870, reached the summit of old
Rainier. An account OF their trip was
published and widely circulated
throughout the United States. Messrs.
Fobes and Welts, who made the ascent
last week, state that the weather Was
quite clear, 50 that they could SEQ the
waters of the Sound and Straits, as we'll
as the vast rolling plains Of Eastern
Washington. Although badly sunburn-
ed and much fatieued by the hard trip.
they speak of IL with much pleasure and
are justly proud of having accomplished

tie during the present season. The opera
is bright, crisp and comical and al
though familiar TO most theater goers,
dees not wear o1t. Miss Fay Temple
ton amply justifies the promise of her
early youth. She has grown from q
lovely child to be q beautiful woman,
with a well trained musical voice, versa
tility as an actress and inimitable grace
and abandon. In the title role last even
ing she was bewitching. Her rendition
Of the song. See, How Ii Sparkles,"
We have never heard or seen surpassed.
Miss Lille West, as Paquita, is also
deserving especial mention in both
song and impersonation. Miss Alice
Vane, as Aurore, was also most
acceptable. Harry Brown, as DON
Bolero, was successful in eliciting
marked applause throughout and in
his song, "But that is Matter of Taste"
was repeatedly encored. As Mourzouka
Mr.. George Olmi also scored a success.
His acting was first class, his singing
acceptable and he dressed the character
admirably. Mr.. Vim. Gulberson as
Marasquin was equal to the part. He
has fine voice, although slightly husky
last evening from a cold. The chorus
is large and well trained, and the COS
tunes are elegant and costly. Alto
gether last evenings entertainment was
most enjoyable, and evidently given to
an appreciative audience. Tonight Au-
aran's new opera, La Belle Cog ustts,'
will be presented for the first time in
this city. IL has had great run in
leading Eastern cities, and is highly
spoken of in the press criticisms of me-
tropolitan journals As tonight will
close the engagement in Seattle, the OPP
portunity to hear Miss Templeton and
her company should not be lost.

The ancients had the greatest horror Of all
that was feeble and infrm; with them pow
erty was despicable and suffering scandal
II is no wonder then that among the beauty
and pleasure-loying Greeks the deaf mute
was looked upon as disgrace to humanity,
and under the barbarous laws Of Lycurgus
they were exposed to die. Nor was highly
cultured Athens less cruel than Sparta tow
ard these unfortunate creatures. Deaf mute
children were pitilessly sacrificed without
voice being raised on their behalf. The first
who seems TO have seriously occupied him
self with this phenomenon Of deaf muteism
was the philosopher Aristotle, and he de-
elared congenital deaf mutes to
be Incapable Of instruction, aud
this was the universal opin-
ion Of classical antiquity. The Romans
treated these unfortunates with the same
cruelty as The Greeks. AS soon as child
was found 20 be deaf and dumb ii was sac
riiced to the Tiber. Only those escaped
whom the waves washed back to the shore,
or whom the natural love OF their parents
kept hidden from the eyes Of the world Yet
in the centuries Immediately preceding the
Christian era there was a sensible diminution
IN AuG Ol NlCllulo OF tLccc
laws, although about fifty years B. G. the
poet Lucretius pronounced himself in favor
Aristotle's opinions regarding deaf mutes.
But in the course OF time certain rights were
granted 10 those deaf mutes who gave proofs
of Ability-such a. had been brought up
secretly by their parents showing
some signs of intellect; this gradually
dissipated the horrible prejudice with
which their brethren in misfortune had hiih-
ertO been regarded Pliny mentions a con-
genital deaf-Inute, called Quin:us Pedius, who
distinguished himself as an artist. He was
grandson OF the consul OF the same name,
Who fourished in the reign Of Augustus. II
is also PROBABLE that dcaf-mutes were en-
ployed as pautomimists when pantomime
was one Of the favOrite amusements OF the
Romans. NJ I. Muller gives 10 the Egypt
ians the credi tof first instructiDg deaf-mutes.
They, as well MS the Persians, always res
pected persons thus afflicted, and their hero
glypie mode OF writing was especially suited
for their education, II is doubtless some
thug more than mere coincidence that their
better treatment by the Romans dates from
the time of the incorporation of Egypt as
Romon province.
