Facts About Deaf Mutes.

The law formerly classed deaf and
dumb persons with idiots and madmen,
and would not permit them to form a
contract. This was because no mode of
teaching them was formerly known. 1t
is not strange that these unfortunates
should seem to be slow of intellect,
since the absence of hearing cuts them
off wholly from a most important
avenue of knowledge. But the discov-
cry of methods of instructing them has
shown that the imperfect mental power
of this class is not due to natural inca
pacity, but to undeveloped abilities,
and now many most intelligent persons
are found in the ranks of deaf-mutes.
Persons who have become deaf in later
life, having had the advantage of hear
ing in youth, and learned to read and
speak, are not injured in mind thereby.
Beethoven, the great musical composer,
became deaf when about forty years
old, and subsequently wrote some Of
his finest works-C Chicago Inter- Ocean,

had a number of influential friends who
were exerting themselves to secure re-
spite from the Governor. The sheriff
believed in capital punishment, but he
was charitably disposed man, and had
been doing good deal of running
around for his doomed guest. One
morning he returned from such a trip
and went to the prisoner.
"Wcll," said the man eagerly, "well,
what did the Governor say?"
"My deal sir, he hasn't said anything
yet. He wants time to think"
"Good heavens, man! This sus-

PAGANINI's LOVE.
Improbable Stories Told of tho Great vlo-
linist's Experiences.

Improbable Stories Told of the Great vio-
Iinist's Experiences.
Paganini naturally could not avoid
pressing invitations to Paris; but he
first accepted permanent position at
the court of Lucca, where, it is said, he
fell madly in love with one of the
DANES de palais, whose unbounded adj
miration of Paganini's genius made
him believe that his passion was recip-
rocated. 1t is not exactly known
whether this was so, but owing to his
extremely nervous organization and
weak constitution, exhausted after a
certain time by a series of concerts, it
was his habit to withdraw for short
time from public performance, to gath
er new strength and energy. 1t is of
such temporary retirement that his en-
emies, jealous of his unprecedented sue
sesses, took advantage to say, first, that
he murdered his wife which would
have been difficult to prove, since he
never had a wife-and then, that he
risked prematurely declaration of love
to the aforementioned lady, and that
she, complaining of his impertincnce,
obtained an order for his incarceration
for three months. Since her admira-
ton for the artist was we'll known, and
the only doubt is whether she did not
adore the man as well, and since in no
country does there exist law to i'm
prison q man for his feelings, so long
as he does not allow himself to be led
away into action incompatible with
gentleman, the story is on the face of it
untrue. Beyond the improbability Of
the affair, Paganini, hearing of the &C
cusation, proved the falsity Of the story.
and it collapsed at once.-1emple Bar.
