NEW York, June GA mysterious
river case is receiving the attention Of
the police authorities of New York. Jer-
sey City and Hoboken.
About Q p. m. the crew Of the Erie
annex boat Jay Gould discovered q man
in the North river opposite Fourteenth
street. When taken from the water the
man was in an exhausted condition. His
hat was gone and his watch and pocket.
book were also missing.
The man was carried to HOhoken, and
soon afterward he was taken "a the city
hospital in Jersey city In an ambulance.
When he recovered sufficiently from
the effects of his immersion he said he
was Job G. Crane, cashier of the Lehigh
Valley Coal company, whose Office Is Il
No. Broadway, this city, and that he
resided at Elizabeth.
The victims story.
Mr.. Crane can throw no light on the
mystery. About 5:15 p. IN. Mr.. Crane,
as usual, left his place of business, pre-
sumably for his home; instead, he took
a trip to Coney Island as he was not feel.
ing well. He remained on the island
about an hour, and then took the
o'clock boat to return. The steamer was
the Pegasus, of the Iron Steamboat CONF
pany.
Mr.. Crane said the boat carried few
passengers and he sat In the stern Of the
boat. He remembers nothing Of the re.
turn trip till he found himself IN the
water. Then, being an expert swimmer,
he struck out. and his cries attracted
the attention of the men on the jay
Gould. He said he was in the water &c
least half an hour, but the captain OF the
Gould says he could not have been there
more than ten minutes. How he got
overheard is the mystery. He Is said
not to be drinking man, which over
throws the theory that he might have
been drugged.
Mr. Crane has no recollection Of any
one being near him or Of any person rob
bling him. His mind il perfect blank
on that point. He should have rot of
at Pier No. to 60 TO his home, whereas
he was picked up off Fourteenth street.
The Police Pushed.
Mr.. Cranes health has not been OF the
best of late. He is of slight physique.
He is held in high regard by the officials
of the coal company, and they are at
loss for clew to unravel the mystery
that surrounds the case. His accounts
are perfect in every respect, and he Is
known to be frugal and careful man.
The police are equally puzzled. Some
officials contend that he might have
been suffering from temporary aber-
ration of mind caused from overwOrk,
and that the hat, watch and pocketbook
which are missing were lost during his
struggles in the water. Others believe
there was foul play, and that drugs were
used to rob him. No one on the steamer
Pegasus knows anything about the &C.
currence and discredit the statement Of
Mr.. Crane that he was on board that
vessel. The fact that no one appeared
to know anything of his disappearance
from the boat upon which he insists he
was passenger only adds to the mys-
terry.
Dir. Crane is now at his home under
the care of physicians.

ing II there were no natural way of
overcoming the many disadvantages in
cidental to deafness. But as a matter
of fact there is method, and a very
simple method, by which many deaf
people can hear, and that, too, with
out artificial instruments. In "Kng
John," Humbert says:
saw smith stand with his hammer. thus.
The whilst his iron did on the anvil cool,
With open mouth, swallow a tailor's news
Scott, too, has passages to the same
effect, and we often hear of particular
person Swallowing il all in"-i. e. list
ening with his mouth wide open. Now,
there is a sound physiological reason
for opening the mouth under such cir
cumStances. There are two opposite
openings in the ear-namely, the ex-
ternsl opening, which is known to all CT
US, and the internal opening, called the
eustachian tube, which passes from the
internal auditory organs to the back of
the mouth, just where the nostrils open
into 1t.
1t therefore follows that person who
opens his mouth has better chance of
hearing than il he keeps it shut. In
short, the inner opening IS an auxiliary
to the outer one. There is at least one
case in which the latter opening alone
has had to do service, as the following
advertisement from copy of The
Daily Post OF some thirty years ago
will clearly show: 'sMissing on Sum-
day afternoon, young man of weak
intellect. The lobes of his ears are
closed, but when spoken to he opens
his mouth, and is then able to hear"
1t is clear, then, that the accidental de-
struction of one or more parts does not
necessarily destroy the sense of hearing
provided that the injury does not reach
the more essential part of mechanism,
the brain.

OLD, BUT GOOD.

Ten weary, iootsore travellers,
All in woeful plight,
Sought shelter in a waysde inn
One dark and stormy night.
"Nine rooms. no more" the landlord said,
Have | to offer you
To each of eight a single bed,
But the ninth must serve Tor two
A din arose. The troubled host
Could only scratch his head,
For of those tired men no two
Would occupy one bed.
The puzzled host was soon at ease,
He was clever man
And so to please his guests devised
This most ingenious plan:
IAIBIC DIEIFIG I'LL
In room marked A two men We're placed,
The third was lodged in b.
The fourth to q was then assigned,
The fifth retired to ID.
In the sixth he tucked away,
In + the seventh man,
The eight and ninth in & and H,
And then to A he ran.
Wherein the host, as l have said,
Had laid two travellers by;
Then taking Oue-the tenth and last
He lodged him safe in l.
Nine single rooms-a room for each
Were made to serve for ten;
And this it is that puzzles me
And many wiser men.

from my door, in the morning and
evening sun, the spires and towers of
the city where he dwelt, and with whose
history his name will be lndissolubly
associated. Here in a stately home,
with ample fortune, equipage, and re-
tinue, surrounded by family he adored,
by friends devoted to him, and by enc
mics whom he had overcome, he con-
fidently anticipated larger triumphs and
loftier honors yet to be.
As | looked fer the last time upon
that countenance from which for the
first time in SO many years no glance
of kindly recognition nor word of wei
come came, Irehected upon the impen-
etrable and insoluble mystery of death.
But if death be the end, if the
life of Burnes terminated upon this bank
and shoal of time, If no morning is to
dawn upon the night in which he sleeps,
then sorrow has no consolation, and
this impressive and solemn ceremony
which we observe today has no more
significance than the pageant of the
stage. If the existence OF Burnes was
but troubled dream, his death obliv-
ion, what avails it that the Senate should
pause to recount his virtues, and that
his associates should assemble around
his voiceless sepulcher? Neither ven
Grafton nor reverence is due the dead
if they are but dust no cenotaph should
be reared to preserve for posterity the
memory of their achievements, if those
who come after them are to be only
their successors ir annihilation and ex-
tincuon.
Unless we survive, the ties of birth,
affection, and friendship are delusive
mockery the structure of laws and Gus
toms upon which society is based,
detected lmposture the codes of moral
ity and justice, the sentiments of graft
tude and faith are empty formulas,
without force or concentration. If in
this world only we have hope and con-
sciousness why should their lnculcations
be heeded2 Duty must be a chlInera.
Our passions and our pleasures should
be the guides OF conduct, and virtue is
indeed a superstition, if life ends at the
grave.
This is the conclusion which the
philosophy of negation must accept at
last. Such is the felicity of those de-
grading precepts which make the cpl
taph the end. If these teachers are
right, if the life of Burnes is like an ar
row that is spent, then we are atoms in
a moral chaos obedience to law is de-
tensible servitude; rulers and magis
trates are despots tolerated only by
popular imbecility justice is denial of
liberty honor and truth are trivial
raphsodles murder and perjury are de
risive jests, and their harsh definitions
are frivolous phrases invented by ty-
rants to impose on the timidity of
towards. the credulity of slaves.
If the life of Burnes is as a taper that
is burned out, then we treasure his
memory in vain, and the latest prayer
of his departing spirit has no more
sanctlty to US, who soon or late must
follow him, than the whisper of winds
that stir the leaves of the protesting
forest, or the murmur of waves that
break upon the uncomplaining shore.

INGENUITY OF THE AFFLICTED.
Painters without Hands-The Tongue Not
Necessary to Speech.

No examples OF human ingenuity are
more interesting than the devices which
have been employed by crippIes to en-
able them to pursue some calling, and
there are few subj cts more interesting
and curious than the means by which
the deaf have heard what was passing
around them, and the dumb have made
themselves understood.
Passing over the well known case OF
Miss Biffin, who, though born without
hands or arms, attained considerable
emlnence as miniature painter, it may
be noted that there are abundant in
stances recorded of persons who could
not only write, but paint tolerably we'll,
with their toes.
There was, for instance, at Cogges-
hall, in Essex, man named Carter,
who was SO thoroughly paralyzed that
he had quite lost the use of his hands,
and was obliged to be on his back. He
partly supported himself by his beauti-
full drawing, which he did with his
mouth ; and he could copy an old wood
cut or plate SO closely that it was diff
cult to distinguish it from the original.
SIR Charles Bell, too tells US Of a Rus
sian beggar born without hands. who
frequented the nigh road to Moscow,
and committed many murders before he
was discovered and executed. His
method of work was peculiar. He used
to throw himself against person who
was giving him aims, and, having stun
ned him, proceeded to seize him with
his teeth, and so drag him into the
wood. There are therefore many occu-
pations which can be followed even if a
person have no hands.
To prove that the tongue is not alb
solutely necessary for speech would be
an easy matter, since there are many
authentic cases of persons, who, having
lost their tongues owing to some acci-
dent or operation, have yet managed to
speak distinctly. But to convey
thoughts without speech, to speak with
out words is another matter. Perhaps the
most curious example of this form of
ngenuity-either in fact or fictlon-iS
the means by which the paralytic old
Noirtier, in Monte Cristo," was able
to speak to anybody who understood
his system. He, it will be remembered,
had sight and hearing left to him, and
he expressed appreciation by closing
his eyes, his refusal to any proposal by
winking them several times, and if he
had some desire or feeling to express
he raised them to heaven. BY this code,
together with the aid of dictionary so
arranged that he could see page as a
finger was rapidly run down it, he con-
trived to hold converse on any SUBJECT
After such examples of devices to
supply the places of missing senses or
members of the body as those we have
mentioned, it would indeed be surpris-
