APHAsIA's TRICKS.
The Ineurabls. Mysterious disease
,hst BseIes Holman knowledge.

A writer in the London Saturday
Reriev says: There are four forms OF
aphs.ia which coexist or which may Be
found isolated: Q) The loss Of the
power of understanding spoken words,
or, as it has been named, rather I'M
properly, since the failure is not phy'i-
cal but mental, verbal deafness; (2)
verbal blindness or the inability to
read; (3) motor aphasis or the
loss of the power of articu-
late speech; (4) asrsphis "a term In
vented, we believe, by the English ply
stefan, DR.. Ogle,) or the loss OF the
power of writing. An instance OF the
loss of the faculty of understanding
spoken words while that Of the under
standing of words written remained Is
quoted by NJ. Ballet from Abercrom5le'
Ii is that of q gentleman farmer In
Scotland, who recognized the sounds OF
spoken words without understanding
their meaning, and who, to make com
munication with his laborers possible,
had a written list in his room OF the
most ordinary terms. On hearing, with
out in the least comprehending the spo-
ken words, he turned to his list, and his
perception of what was said became
clear. OF verbal blindness las it is
called), NJ. Ballet gives an instance OF a
French merchant, whom he calls NJ. p,
a man of fair cultivation, and more or
less of reading habit, who, through an
accident in hunting, lost the faculty OF
reading. IN. P. understood perfectly
everything that was said to him, an
swered questions with much precision,
and expressed himself with Ger
tain degree Of facility. Moreover
be wrote with ease, not only his
name and address, but . long let
ter, and that without any notable mis-
take in orthogrsphy. The interesting
fact is that though he could write aud
did it with q certain ease, he was in-
capable OF reading. / write, he said,
.as if with my eyes closed; | do not
read what write In fact, he was
wholly unable to reread the words
which he had traced . few seconds
before" The letters themselves writ
ten in this condition were quite equal
to those which he had written before
the accident befell him.
OF motor aphasia, or the inability to
use srticulate speech, NJ. Ballet gives
instances Of patient at the Ssltpetriere
whose reply to all questions consisted
of the word Macassa, macasss ~; oil
another who could only say {" Mono
momen.if"; of third who was re-
duced to the expression "Iqui phophoi-
oui." and Of a fourth whose vocabulary
did not 60 beyond Baden, aoads1

the last-named house his personatlon
of Matthias in 1.-THE Bells" gave him
reputation equal to the greatest ever
earned on the stage, and his place In the
forefront Of contemporary actors has
been maintained ever since. This was
in November, 1877 a date memorable In
the annals of triumphant acting. His
undertaking was to depict, in the Ian
guage of the London Times, /" the con-

Although Jenner was forty-nine
years old before he made vaccination
known to the world, the subject had
attracted his attention when only a
youthful apprentice to country sur
geon. He was convinced that the cur
rent methods of treating cow.pox aud
smallpox were capable OF improve
ment, and no set himself to study
the nature Of the disease. But
for many years after his opin-
ions were made known to the medi-
cal faculty they were contemptuously
secuted. lie had, first Of all, to prove,
contrary to the prevalent belief, that
what was called cow-pox was not a
certain preventive of smallpox.
Then BIO had to trace out the nature OF
the difference in the diseases TO which
cows are subject, and to ascertain
which Of them possessed the protective
yirtae against smallpox. After re-
pes,ed failures he made the grand dis
covery hat it is "only in a certain condi-
ton Of the pustule that the virus is
capable Of imparting its protective
mower TO the human constitution" 1t
was on the l4th OF May, 1875, that he
frst put his theory to the test by trans
ferring cow.pox by incubation from one
human being TO another. 1t was two
ya,,s later. however, before his famous
= Inquiry into the Causes and Effects OF
the yariola Vaccine f" was published.
Henry Give was the first London doc
tor to put the thing TO the test, and he
is credited with performing the nrst
successful vaccination IN London.
Other cases followed, and Lady Frances
Morgan (afterward Lady Ducieh was

The Grsas Engslsn Actor View VISIT
sng Ffs Frfssds IN America.

IUR His xfI0mOS -
Henry Irving, the greatest living
English actor and theatrical manager,
was born at Keinton. near Glastonbury.
Sou,eisetshire, England. Feh-"1ry q,
1888. His full name 10 JJaa Henry
Brodiib Irving. He was educated at
9 private academy In London, with the
view Of his engaging in commercial
pursuits. In pursuance Of this inten-
ton, upon his removal from school,
he was placed in the Office Of sn East
India merchant; but his bias towards
the stage was so strong within him
that while still young he broke away
from business and committed himself TO
the yicissitudes Of the actors career.
His first appearance before the public
was in 1856 at Sunderland, in the North
of England. where he essayed the part
Of Orleans in Richelieu." The next
year he became very popular in the
Theatre Royal, Edinburgh, where he
did responsible business. Two years
and q half with . company, including
such performers as Miss Cushman, Miss
Helen Faucit, Messrs. Vandenhoff,
Robson, Charles Mathews the younger,
BENJAMIN Webster and Wright, proved
invaluable to the young aspirant, who,
in 1859, appeared in the Princess's The
atre, London. His brief engagement
there was succeeded by his appearance
in Manchester, where he played Hamlet.
By 1866 he had earned high position
in bis profession, and had made his APP
pearance on the boards Of the St.
James Theatre, London. in various
important parts. In 1868 and
1869 be acted in the new Queens
and Drury-Lane Theatres, in the
same metropolis, with still increasing
reputation. Epgagements at the Vaude-

The old man beckoned him into the

back yard were four cherry trees loaded
with the red fruit, aud in the branches
of every tree was boy from eight to
twelve years Of age. Guarding the
trees were two dogs, and that they
were anxious for boy-meat was plainly
shown by their actions.

the officer.

Tho Judictous Emissary.
Block.Islsnd letter to the Hartford Cou-

rant.
Once upon o time an ambitious man,
who aspired to be Governor Of Little
Rhody," sat down to count all possible
votes. The prospect Of his election was
dubious, but there came to his memory
the political proverb current in the old
Bay State. They say there, GAS Hull
goes, SO goes Massachusetts," The
candidate then remembered this tiny
dot in the ocean too often neglected. and
. trusty emissary was sent over with
$500 to DO judiciously expended.
Masking bis purpose under va
rious pretexts, the gentleman sur
veysd the ground and discov-
cred that the one topic Of general
interest was the leaky roofof the Centre
church. To the pious islanders-that
was before summer trave! had in
truded-their church was the one pre-
cious possession, but they were too
poor to properly repair the sanctuary,
and meeting was called to raise funds
for simply patching the roof. The
aforesaid emisssry attended this meet
ing. Deyoutly he listened to prayer
and speech, and then rising, as if under
the influence Of uncomfortable emotion,
he spoke with broken voice after this
manner:
"My friends, am stranger among
YOU. and ] have 8 confession to make.
came to this meeting moved alone by
curiosity, but, as l sat among you,
bearing your expressions OF earnest
faith, have been controlled By senti-
ments unknown before. / had never

gin to see dimly how wrongly have
estimated the consultations Of religion.

came to do a thing so base, that l am
covered with shame when think Of it.
As have listened to you here have
realized my wickedness, and l desire

may. was exceedingly anxious that
in the coming election MIR. - should
succeed; / knew that ready money
was scarce upon your island, aud
came herewith shame l con-
Tess ito buy your votes. Par
don me for the vile thought, and pray
for me that l may be forgiven"
Another gulp, and then: 4" Here, my
friends, l give to you for repairing this
sanctuary the money / had intended to
use for vile purpose, and when l shall
tell nv friend MIR. - what | have
done, I am sure that he will approve
Like yourselves, he Is an earnest -,
and be can trust his election to that all
wise Providence which moves in mys'
terious way. Will some brother tak'
charge of this money!"
A "brother came forward and re-
ceived a heavy bag with unsteady
clinkipg contents, while the little con
gregation looked as awe-struck as Bel
shazzar's guests when the wondrou'
words OF doom were written on thu
palace wall.
The emissary sat with bowed head
and handkerchief pressed close to-pre
sumably-weeping optics. When thu
service was over, hard, honest hand'
gave the stranger fraternal grip, an'
real tears dimmed many pious eyes
The emisssry went back to Providence
