AFTER having been deaf and dumb
Tor sixty-fve years, DR.. Livingston,
of Bennettsville, Conn, has regain.
ed his power of speech and hearing.
About two weeks ago he awoke in
the night with very severe pain
in his head. He called out to his
wife, who was sleeping beside him.
At the sound of his voice she awoke,
astonished to hear him pronounce
her name. Her words were the first
ne had heard since he was an infant.
and the revelation OF his changed
condition astounded him. The pain
IN the meantime grew less acute, and
ne and his wife talked until morning
of his wonderful recovery.

A REMARKABLE DREAM.

About year ago Charley Spen>
GER, of this city, had a remarkable
cream, which resulted in the finding
Of long-lost sister. The story
runs that about thirty years ago a
young man by the name of Robin
son left his home in England and
became sailor. After travelling all
over the sea he landed at New Orr
leans. He drifted from there to
this state, where he was at the
breaking out of the war. He volun-
teered, and IN about the year 1864
he married a sister of Charley Spen-
Ger, and in 1870 they went to Chica>
60, and from there they went to
England. After they had been gone
about five years, all trace of them
was lost. Several efforts were made
to locate them, but to no avail.
About year ago Charley Spencer
had dream that.his sister was at
Barn owford, New Bridge, No. II
Lee street.. Lancashire, England.
Charley had never heard of this
place before, but the dream had such
an impression on his mind that he
addressed a letter TO his sister at
that place, and to his surprise in
less than four weeks he received
letter from his long lost sister, and
from the postoffico that he had
found in his dream. The CORE
spondence was kept up, and few
weeks ago his sister, husband and
children came to Upton, where they
will make their future home. 1t
was remarkable dream, and it will
furnish lots of food to those who
believe in dreams.-Tipton (Ind.)
Advocate.

A SURGICAL MIRACLE.

The Philadelphia papers contain
accounts OF "a wonderful surgical
feat recently accomplished at the
HohnemaEn hospital in that city.
1t was successful attempt to cure
idiocy by removal of "a portion of the
skull. The patient is a little tour
year old boy named Freddie.
When broug hit to the hospital bis
case seemed one of hopeless idiocy.
He was utterly incapable OF speech
as we'll. The usual openings in, the
skull allowing the blain to attain
its normal development were in his
case absent. The sole hope was to
perform the operation of craniotomy
-thot is, to create these openings
artificially. The linear sutures had
to be cut in the skull, one on each
side OF the head. The first was sue
cessfnliy made some time ago, and
even that halt operation produced
immediate aud noticeable results.
The poor little lad became able to
ardculate few words and gave
wonderful promise of return OF
the brain to its normal functions, in
case the second suture could be as
successfully performed. This opera
ton was necessarily delayed, owing
to the shock OF the patient. The
second suture was cut few days
since, and so far everything is pro-
crossing most satisfactorily. There
is little fear but what the child will
recover, and when he does he will
be in complete possession of his
mental faculties.

This one comes from Boston: A
little boy, son of the most exempla>
ry parents, wanted a bicycle and
kept the matter constantly before
the consideration of the family pur-
chasing agent, His mothAr told
him to pray for the desired gift, and
that night a petition was sent up Ill
the most persuasive of childish
voices. While the little fellow slept
a tricycle. was struggled into his
room and placed beside his bed. In
the morning the father and mother
were concealed within bearing to
learn how the little hopeful would
accept the answer to his prayer. He
rolled over, fastened his staring blue
eyes upon the miraculous appear
ance, and in surprised tone said
"Dood Gracious, Mr.. bod, don't you
know the difference tween bicycle
and tricycle. yet?

The new administration is pledg
ed to policy of tariff and finan cial
reform, and by imposing a graded
income tax it will find it all practi-
cable to reduce the tariff to ceve-
nue. basis. When we cut down the
receipts now derived from d protec-
tive tariff we must. get the revenue
needed from some other source.
Why not get it from an income tax,
as is done in many other countries
1t is just and right that the citizens
with large incomes should pay their
proportion of the expenses of the
government. They are benefited
by the machiery Of government to a
greater extent than the other class.
The army, militia, courts and other
expensive branches OF the public
service are mainly occupied in pro-
tecting the rights and property Of
people with large incomes, and the
benefciaries should pay their pro-
portionate share of the expences,
and not saddle it upon the masses.
This is the view the people take
of the matter, and it is unanswera-
Bile. A graded income tax is a
sound democratic idea. Atlanta

i Feasibility.

Girls are so much moro clever as clerks
than men that the male clerk is doomed
to extinction like the dodo. The results
are disastrous both to women and to
men.
Every observer in cities must see that
nearly all classes of clerical work are
passing rapidly into the hands of young
women. These young women enter the
Offices with skillful fingers, winning
manners, industrious ways and general
aptness to write letters, keep books, count
cash and discharge the multitudinous du-
ties attaching to business life. They do
their work satisfactorily and well.
Taken altogether they are neater, bet
ter behaved and quicker than young men.
The result is that these bright young fell
lows, capable of doing excellent work,
are forced to toll for long hours, often
at night, for the muniicent salary of $15
q month. After two or three years of
hard and faithful service promotion to
the s25 month class is possible, while
$50 to $50 is the outside figure to which
clerk may aspire if he exhibits special
qualifications and sustained devotion to
his task.
If the next 20 years witness the same
relative increase in the number of work
ing girls and women as has taken place
since 1870 in this country and the United
States, we shall see young men doing
the homework and their sisters and
mothers carrying on half the business OF
the transformation Magazine.

One Legged Senators.

Say what they will, the associates of
Senator Berry of Arkansas cannot per-
suade him to try cork leg. At one
time there were four one legged senators.
Three of them half concealed the loss
with artificial substitutes. They used to
get together in the cloakroom and tell
each other how much more comfortable
they felt, but they never convinced Sena-
tor Berry. He clings to his orutches,
Notwithstanding they have failed him
more than once and sent him headfore-
most down stairs almost to bis death
There are funny things about this one
legged business. Henderson of Iowa, the
Dubuque veteran, manages SO well that
people form his acquaintance and see
him around for weeks without learning
that he is part cork. Once in awhile the
stump becomes sensitive, and Mr.. Hen
derson leaves the artificial leg at home
for few days to rest himself, while he
hobbies about the house of representa-
tives on crutches, to the anazement of
those who have not known him long. A
senator who manages On artificial leg
without awkwardness is Butler of South
Carolina. He carries cane and moves
with some elaboration, but not one per-
son in 100 passing him on the street de-
tects any stiffness in the gait.-Wa flashing

THO nronument to Durye.

Notes on the progress of the Barge
monument, the expense of which was,
in It's larger share, betrayed by Amer
leans, have been received in private let
tezs from Paris
The foundations Of the monument are
ready for the superstructure. The stone
work is TO be placed in a month. A
month aftcrward the holdings and the
medallion portrait Of Barge are to be
finished. The bronze and stone groups
are almost complete. Tho dedication
will occur before the end Of the year, it
is hoped.
The site has been changed. The city
authorities were unable to deliver to the
monument committee, for some munich
pal reason, the land which was at first
selected, and have appropriated an int
nitely better ground. tits situated at the
end Of the lie St. Louis which is crossed
by the Sully bridge, that unites the
Boulevard Henri ~ with the Boulevard
St. German. The bridge Is wide and
inoessantly In use, being the shortest
way from the Faubourg ST. German to
the Bastile square and the Lyons station.
From the site BaEye's house, the Bastile
monument, on the pedestal Of which is
sculptured In relief a. lion by Barge, and
the Jardin des Plantes, where Barge
diligently studied animals, are distinctly
visible.
The Barge monument will be one Of
the most striking ornaments Of Paris.

Persisted on the Desert.

A rev days ago Loreto Villa, in charge
of the cattle herds Of the Allison broth
ers, along the Cocopah mountains, left
Black Butte for Campo, Cal. Later, his
mule returned to camp without him. A
search was instituted, which resulted in
the finding Of his saddle hanging on q
bush about mile from camp. The Co
copah Indians followed the mules tracks
back to Desert Springs, about half way
between Signal mountains and Coyote
Wells, where Villas tracks showed that
be had got off his mule to water him at
the spring, when the mule, which was a
bad one, got away and ran home, dis
lance of 10 miles.
Villa tried to follow, and when he had
gone about half way wandered off into
the sand hills, where he threw away his
shoes and where his tracks were obliter-
ated by the winds The tracks of two
other men were also found In the same
sand hills. They are supposed to be
those of two prospectors named Ross
and Williams. These add three more
names to tho deserts dead, and these
persisted in sight Of the spot where the
Breedloves were found dead more than
