Dreams of Deaf Persons.

In visiting institutions for the blind and
the deaf I have made inquiry, and have
never found an instance of a person born
deaf, or of child who lost his hearing
before he was four years of age, dreaming
Of hearing. Among tho results of recent
inquiries present the following from the
principal of the State Institution for the
Blind and Deaf at st. Augustine, Fla:
II have closely questioned the deaf
children here as to whether they have ever
dreamed of hearing, and the invariable
answer is no. I havS asked the same
question Of upwards of fifty deaf persons
with the same result, except where the
person Intercepted had lost his hearing
after learning to talk. These last
mentioned are all persons of some educa-
ton who understood the question fully and
were very positive that they had never
dreamed of hearing more than q rumbling
sound. Rev. Dr.. J. M. Buckley in the

A Very Troublesome Language.

When first the Japanese learned from
the Chinese the use Of letters they, with
characteristic ingenuity, adopted con-
tracted forms of forty -seven Chinese
characters to represent the syllables Of
their language, and at the same time with
curious unwisdorn adopted cursive forms
of other characters to represent the same
sounds. But, further, to make confusion
worse confounded, they paid their instruc-
tors the compliment Of taking over bodily
their writing and their literature. There
are thus three ways Of writing Japanese
(one) with the forty seven contracted
Chinese or Katagana characters; (two)
with the cursive forms Of other Chinese
or Hiragana characters; and (three) with
the Chinese characters pure and simple.
Every school boy has to learn these three
systems, and his studies are complicated
by the fact that while the first two sys-
TENS are phonetic the third is mainly
topographic.
But we have not yet reached the end of
the difficulties which surround Japanese
writing. For although, as has Just been
said, the Chinese characters are mainly
used geographically, they may at the dis
erection of the writer be made to represent
either the mere sounds of the Chinese
words which they signify or the mere
sounds of the Japanese words which they
signify. Tog:ve an example-the Chinese
character meaning stheaven," and pro-
nounced Tien, when occurring In japanese
text may either be read according to an
old Chinese pronunciation, Ten, heaven, :"
or ns the Japanese word for the same
meaning, Anne. or as simply representing
the sounds Of Ten or Anne, apart from
their meaning. This is much as II our
s sas be es read snd So Or o. Is The
syliables "and" or Set" and so be used in
such combinations as h&, hand, or &nm,

Crossing the plains Rowland was with
the famous Hunt train, which was at

then United States marshal and later

oners to jail in Michigan. At his request
Rowland organized the train. and for nine
different days they fought Indians. Am
munition was about gone. and the last
night they loaded their only cannon with
trace chains to be ready for the early
morning attack the Indians were sure to
make. He dampencd gunny sacks to load
the cannon. The next morning it was 20

attacked the train. It occurred to How
land that the sacks would be frozen and
the cannon would burst. For the moment

THE PRoDleAL pAvsHTER.

To the home OF his father returning
The Prodigal, weary and worn,
Is greeted with Joy and Thanksgiving.
AS when on his first natal morn;
A "roben and '.ring" Is his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow,
Ho IS clad in fine linen and purple,
In return for his penitent VOW.
But. ah: for tho Prodigal Daughter
Who has wandered away from her home
Her feet must still press the dark valley
And through the wild wilderness roam;
Alone on the bleak, barren mountains
The mountains SO dreary and cold
No hand is outstretched in fond pity
TO welcome her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows his sheep, though they stray,
The weakest, and cen the forSaken,
He bears in his bosom alyay;
And in the brighs mansions OF glory,
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There Is room for the Prodigal Daughter
AS well as the Prodigal Son.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

After the lapse of nearly twenty-eight
years the Republican party stands to-
day face to face with the record it has
made. In the worlds history no organ
iEation of the people and for the people
has a more brilliant story to tell. 1t
grew with the growth of people who
loved freedom better than slavery; i,
almost without a name, rallied around
its banner the hundreds of thousands of
voters who nearly made John c. FIRE.
mont President in 1856; it elected Lin
coin in 1860; it carried the war through
successfully; it lost the last presidential
election by series of accidents and in
ridents, but it is to-day the strongest
and most intelligent organization in the
country.
The Republican party consists of fully
5000, 900 voters. 1t embraces in its
ranks the elements which constitute the
intelligence of the country and have
made it what it is.
The Republican party is greater than
any one man.
All indications point to the fact that
the coming convention will be composed
al the thoroughly representative men OF
she country.
They will fairly and honestly repre-
sent their constituency. They will
nominate man who will carry out the
ideas of the party which has made this
3 Nation and not an aggregation of rOm-
monvealths They will name as lea
der one who possesses brains and is not
merely a burly Indicator of luck -
Surely speaking, the Republican party
will select the next President. The
mission of the party Of Lincoln and
Grant is not yet accomplished

WORD OF WARNING.

Mr. james A. Clarke, editor of he
Free Quill published at Laurel
Prince Georges county, is not onIyR
fearless writer, but takes the lead in all
movements which tend to the advance
meDt Of his county, and the interests Of
Laurel in particlar. In the last cam
pagn, and in fact ever since the
Quill has been established, be has
been warm supporter of Senator Cor
man and Congressman Compton, but
now after a careful observation of the
workings of the ring which dominates
Prince Georges county, this enterpris-
ing journalist says;
There will yet be an issue and an
irreprcssible one between the dense pop
ulation Of this end of the county and the
machine autocrats of the lower end. The
plea that the dominant party represents
all the responsibility in the county is
fast playing out, and this plea is about
the only one which has been available
in catching the incoming vote If the
issue must be squarely met, it is quite
as respectable to organize and fuse with
the sO-called common people and the
colored vote ia favor of progress and
improvements, as it is to tie to set of
professionals in partisan intrigue, who
are fifty years behind the times in any
thing that helps to develop the resources
of the State. 1t is time to fuse with
first, last, or any element, that is availa-
bic to overthrow the machine"
The action of the ring Democrats in
this county, and in fact throughout the
State has been such, that it becomes not
only a necessity, but a plain duty for
all citizens, regardless of party to unite
and hurl them from power, so that the
will of the people may be carried out
The action of the ring on the tobacco
question alone is sufficient to cause the
citizens of this county. regardless of
past party affiliations, to forever oppose
all who are directly, or remotely con-
nected with the attempt to overthrow
the will of our people on this question,
and We firmly believe that such will be
their course in the future.
