MARRIAGES OF THE DEAF.

1t seems strange that In marriages
where one partner is deaf and this other
has hearing, the proportion of deaf chill
dren is as great as in cases where both
the father and mother are deaf. DIR.
Fay's statistics show this condition to
exist. He explains its seeming opposition
to the laws Of heredity by saying that
deafness is merely result or symptom
of some disease or pathological condition,
and as there are great variety of these
conditions which produce deafness. it is
only rarely that they are the same in
both partners to a marriage, and that,
therefore, there Is not, in most instances
where both are deaf, the union of s.like
to Ike" after all. Another conclusion
drawn from a study of the statistics is
that persons who are born deaf are more
likely TO transmit deafness to their of
spring than those who become deaf through
disease or accident, although the latter
are more liable to have deaf children than
those whose hearing is unimpaired.
There are far more marriages in which
the man and woman are both deaf than
in which only one Is deaf, and the forme
are apt to be the happier, the proportion
of divorce being only 1-2 per cent,
while in the latter 1t Is LIZ per cent

AFTER MANY MONTHS.
Bicycle stolen Three Years Ago Re-
cognized by Its Former Owner.

Three years ago man In this city left
new Heating bicycle in front of a resta-
urant for a few minutes while be went
inside with a friend to get lunch.
When this man came out to look for his
wheel 1t was gone and from that time
until last night the owner never set his
eyes on the wheel. About O'Clock last
evening Officer Quinn found an old Keat-
ing bicycle, considerably the worse for
wear on Monument square. and brought
1t into the station. The former owner OF
the wheel happened to drop into the sta.
ton and at once recognized the wheel
which had carried him many miles three
years ago. The Identification was made
by certain marks about the handle bars
which would mt be duplicated on other
wheels once out Of thousand times.

SHE CARRIED THE 0BELISK.
Once Famous Vessel which Is Now
Used as Coal Barge.
baltimore American. }

A vessel which was once a famous
steamer, but is now a commonplace sea-
going coal barge, Is in port loading for
New England port. The Dessoug was
quilt for the Khe1ive OF Egypt in 1864
and named the Denton. At that time she
was considered one Of the fastest and
most beautifully appointed vessels afloat,
for while. But he got tired of her,
and in 1879 William II. Vanderbilt
bought her to transport the obelisk from
Egypt to Central Park. New York.
Lieutenant Commander Gorfinge took
command Of her. having been detailed for
the purpose by the United States Govern
ment.
The obeIisk, which weighs 1876 tons,
was far from the shore line. and buried,
besides, deep in sand. 1t was altogether
too heavy for ordinary machinery to be
used, and 1t was carried down on i'm
mense platforms with cannon balls under
them for rollers. Then it was placed in a
crib liked on pontoon. The pontoon
and ship were lifted in craving dry
dock, head on to eanh other, and when
this had been accomplished hole twenty
feet long and twelve feet high was cut
in the starboard bow of the boat below
the water line. Through this tine great
stone was rolled into the hold Of the ship
on groove, having an improvised ball
bearing attachment. also made of cannon
balls. Inside the obelisk was braced
along the keelson, and stout snoring fixed
about 1t to make 1t immovable. After
everything was made shipshape and the
ribs ana plates were fixed at the bow of
the steamer, she finally set sail for New
York on June IL, 1880.

SONS OF VETERANS.
Several Happy Events az Last Evenings

Grams, was held last evening at taeir hall.
The meeting was one Of surprises and

Needham, Mass, who has been in this
vicinity for several weeks on business,
and has been guest of the camp on sew
eral occasions. with a handsome silver
mounted loving cup as slight token of
the esteem in which he is held by the
members of the order in this city. Capt
Coulter, though taken by complete sur
prise, rallied sufficiently to return thanks
for the token and assured the members of
the camp of the respect and esteem which
he bore the brothers of the order in this
vicinity.
Prior to the close OF the meeting Hon.
W. II. Looney presented the following
resolution. which received unanimous
passage;
