PERFECTED SEXSES.

They Are Hade to Scrte the Loss of One cr the Other Peculiarities of tho Blind. When a jcrsoa is deprived of one of the natural senses, either at birth or tftcrvrarda. those remaining become mora acute, and in many instances they become- so perfect that the lacking sense is partially gripplied. Probably the cass of the famous Laura Bridgeman i the best illustration. Three of her faculties were minns sight, hearing and speech and notwithstanding this great affliction she became an educated woman. Doubtless if socio of the children at the Home for the Feeble-minded could come under tho care and influence that Laura Bridgeman did, they might in a degree become children of sense. The percentage night be email, and probably would. Few of those in charge of such homes have tho philanthropic idea sufficiently developed to make the redemption of one of these children thef r life work. The wdrk Is earned forward to a wonderful extent In many cases, bat such institutions are too liable to political changes for the teachers in them to he jure that they will be retained. To the children of darkness the greatest sympathy should bo extended, for they are deprived of the most valnable of the senses. The deaf, the dumb, and those who lack in other faculties, have not the tronblo to earn a Urelihood that the blind have. They are the most helpless of alL Cut off from all vision, their other faculties become Bhanxmed. It is wonderful how a man for blind women are rarely seen alone on the streets who cannot see daylight from darkne will Und his way alone ail over town, and this city has men who . ar well known. vrho go it length and breadth with only a cane for company or guide. Some of them aro even indignant when a sjmpathic person offers to conduct them over a crossing or takes an arm to assist them on their way. The reporter remembers walking down the street one day, several years ago, and was just abont to pais an alley when a man, totally blind, vas coining in the opEosite direction. A heavy team with two orss was coming out of the alley, and believing tho blind man would be knocked down and poisibly injured, called to him to stop, flebecame very angry.saying: "I don't thank yon in interfering; 1 guem I know where I am going." He went oil grumbling. Jome others accept a courtesy, but as a rule they do not like to be thought dependent on any one. The sense of touch is so cultlvateU by the blind that for near objects, it is really wonderful how much a blind person can know about the appearance of things. A common expression is 'Let me see you,'' or "see it," and this means "Let me feel you." By passing the lingers lightly over a person face they have in their mind the entire contour. They have in their imagination something that answers to color, not as those who have sight regard color, but an idea hot to be understood Dy others. Many persons blind from sickness have the remembiance of form and color to aid them. Their education in reading with their finger-tips, by means of letters slightly raised, is familiar to Vail. To the uneducated hand these elevations are simply like so much rough paper; but to their sensitive touch each letter has its form, and they can read almost as rapidly by hand as others can bjr eye. Another branch of the eirls' edncation is learning to sew and do bead-work.and various other needlework, borne of them can turn a hem and sew it in stitches that would put to shame the labor of many a girl who can see what she is doing, and knitting and crocheting are also added to her list of accom plishments. She can play the piano or violin, and sing like a bird, and the list of what she can do is being added to yearly. The men's work is also increasing in va riety, lms city has blind lawyers, puinotuners and players, and broom-makers. All of this T.equires animprovement of some facnlty in proportion to what they lose by?:ght, A story is told of Mr. Churchman, who was at one time superintendent of the Institution for the Blind. He could not see at all. One dav there was some t nilding being done at the institution and BLrs. Chnrchman went out to look at the work. She saw a board with a knothole, and perfect lumber had been contracted for. She spoke to the workmen about it, and tUey said it would not matter. "Well," she said, "if Mr. Churchman sees it. it will have to come off." They hooted at the idea. It was only a few minutes till Mr. Churchman came aronnd. He .'always walked with a cane and directed himself with it. When he came where the men were working he kept beating about with his cane. and. as futo would have it, ' he placed tne stick straight into the knot hole. Tho board had to come oil. Mrs. tnurcAman knew what sue said; and meant it, for it was a common thing for Mr. Chnrchman to "see" many other things in the same wav. Tho blind can tee through their sense 6f touch in a remarkable degree, and seeing people are not capable of comprehending bow much they can "see" in this way, and therefore do not give them the credit for knowing as much as they do. It is common, ftrwi Tirnhrilllr mltr Jinmnn fnrrvnA person to believe that another who is blind, deaf, dumb, lame, or in any way afilicted, can not know as much as they know. GOSSIP pX A HOT PAY. i Talks on a Yariety of Subjects Obtained by the Reporters in Chance Meetings. A newspaper reporter meets and talks with a great .number of persons in the course of a day, and tho subjects talked ubout are quite as various as the talkers. , Yesterday was a warm day, but a few men with views wero out and about as usual. The cigarette tradePsaid Charles Brinkmeyer, who had that topio suggested to him. "Oh it always falls off in the bummer, when the dudes are away at the watering-places. .But Indianapolis never did havo much of a retail trade in cigarettes. There aro' as many cigarettes retailed in tho little town of Creencastle as in this city. Thfre are nearly a thousand students at the-'college there, and college boys well, they don't know any better." The sticks our young men carry' said Maj. Taylor, are getting no smaller. In fact, their heads are swelling all tho time the heads of the sticks, I mean; growing larger and kuottier. Very seldom I sell the largest ones to middleaged men. They are usually carried by young follows from eighteen to twenty-one years of age." "Tho past year has been a great one for outdoor photography," Harry Rose remarked. "Street scenes by tho instantaneous process are growing more popular all the time, and photographers are doing better outdoor work thau ever. When the corner-stone was laid here the other day, the picture-takers were to bo seen everywhero, and amateurs, as well as professionals, had a busy dav of it." "Sales of real estate!" said Charles F. JJayles. "Why, yes, they're going on every day. A large one was consummated today, Samuel F. Turpin. the New York partner, of Turpin &. Co.. of this city, buying No, 13 West Washington street, of fciinon Yaudes for 542.000. Four years ago Mr. Y amies boutrht that property, paying $,000 for it Thero appears to be some money to be mado in Indianapolis business property." 'There's more reading of light literature this mnrner," replied Win. F. Coughlen to in itinuiicr than last year, "it is the throw 'em away if you don't like 'em paper cover that are demanded. Tho sale of this chm of literature reaches its height in July, when people lay in a stock to take away to summer resorts. The trade in paper-back hooks of the better class of liction is getting better. The magazine trade diminishes in the summer months. When people can sit down to a lamp, alter supper, with Rome comfort, the sales will increase. In December and January twice as many of the standard monthly magazines are sold in the city as in midsummer." "When I was in New York tho other flay," sajd Leopold Strauss, "I found that there w where all the one aud two-dollar bills hare gone. In Indianapolis, if yon (Tivo a man a live-dollar note to pay for a nollar purchase, you will get four stove-lid dollars in change. In New York you get

small bills in exchange, and a tradesman apologizes if ho has to give you a silver dollar." The Democratic nomination for Mayorr exclaimed A. Kiefer. "I wouldn't take it if both parties handed it to me on a silver fcalver. I know the value of peace and quietness, and there's not an omce. either appointive or elective, that I would have. 1 haven't lived sixty year fr nothing.; The man who would take .ho nomination for Mavor on either ticket it a chump," said Alfred BurdsalL "Tne position has been shorn of power and dignity, and tne office is no longer worth having; certainly not with the police court attachment. "On my way home from EngLiod. two weeks ago," remarked Joseph Solomon, I saw more excitement in threo minutes than in all the time I was abroad. I- was on the City of Koine. f!T the banks of Newfoundland, aud the was the thickest I ever saw in my life. 1 nail no Idea a fo? conld be so dense. Tho -vessel wasblowingitsfogwhistleeverytheo-quar-ters of a minute, when we heard a i'og-horn on our starboard side. It was verv close, and our vessel slowed up, and the pftdciles stopped. At that instant we saw the -vessel with rm bow coming right towartl our broadside. There was almost a p.'.nic on our ship women shrieking, and chihifen erring, and men white with terror. W.uwi the nose of the ship seemed almost touting ni, she answered her helm and wenr. bv. I don't think she cleared ns by more than ten feet, and, as she did so, sailors jumped into the rigging, and gave her three hearty cheers. Next day we had a thanksgiving sermon onboard, and a collection was taken np for the benefit of the Sailors' Home at Liverpool. Tho collection, as yon may suppose, following our narrow escape, was a liberal one. Halting the Iie Go Around, The awards for the Indiana Hospital for the Insane, If they could always be read vritn tne aid of an mterpreter, would alow sqme strange things. Last month J. R. Badd A Co. were peculiarly favored, and this month an attempt lias been inadete have the pie go round. Brtstorfc Co. "were icivrn the contract to rurntah four thousand dozen treh erg at 15 cents a dozen. the bids of A. Jordan and J. Ih Eudd &, Co. each being 16 rents, and Tbocias Cottreil 15 45-10O cents per dozen. A. Jordan was awarded the contract for two thousand pounds full-dmsed spiia? chicken at 13 cenUorer I3ristor k Co. and Uudd & Co.. wboeach bid 13 cents, and oyer Cottreil, who bid 14 83-100. Bristor fc Co.'s contract hid for 4,f0'J pounds creamery butter mvbs 10 cents; Jtnlan's, 14 cents, and Bndd's, 10 cents. Tho successful bidder was the ShellsCounty Creamery Company, at 17 cents a pound. Tbls company doea buelueaa near Farmland, in the neighborhood of the home of President Carson, of tli board of trustees. Felt the Wrong rnlse. Dr. Penny, of the City Dispensary, relates an Incident which occurred , to hint recently whilo treating a patient who had taken chloroform with suicidal intent. "The cause of the would-be :1h!e," raid thj doctor, "was a lover's quarrel. '.Vhctx I arrived at the house, which is situated n North Noble street, I entered a dimly lighted chamber and saw tho younjr lady lying In bed, her lover occupying a seat by her and bending over her In such an aifectiunata manner that it must for all time have assured the young lady of his devotion. Seizing an extended hand I felt the pnlse and was surprised to nnd it in a normal condition. I assured the fair patient that sho would soon he all right, when to my aetonUhment the young man Inquired, 'How does it beat. Doctor.' I had taken hold not of the young lady's hand, but that of her lover, which had been affectionately placed round the would-be suicide's neck, who could not herself refrain fiom smiling at my absurd error." m Took 'o Klik In Delays. A woman walked into an insurance office the other day, and said she wanted tho policy she held settled. The agent took it, saw it was a paid up policy, and told her he had no notification of the death of the man named therein. She saM: "No, of course not, he only died night before last, and I guess they are Just about putting him in now." lie told her he thought it was rather soon for a widow to be after the life Insurance before her husband was buried. "Well! she laid, "we are divorced, and its made out to me, and I learned by living in this world that when you've scot bu.-ness to do the best way is to do it right off, and so as soon as I heard of his death I came right down." They agent told her he would have to have a death certificate, and she went away, the has evidently had experience with the saying: "Delays are dangerous." The Elff and Hare Inquests. Coroner Wagner filed the result of his inquest in the case of Bertha EhT yesterday, stating that her death was the result of having her throat cut by Edward Aszmann. Aszmann's testimony, as written out and signed by him, sets forth that he lived with the woman for several years, and that ho out her during a quarrel, growing out of her relations with other man. The report filed by the coroner lu the case of Michael Hare, the street-car conductor, whoae body was found In White river, sets forth that the deceased came to his death by drowning. The orlly suggestion . of foul play which Is contained In tho testimony, ' occurs in tho statement of one of the witnesses. He states that the foot-tracks of several persons wero noted about the spot where Hare's hat was found. . m An Irate Defendant. ' The head of Justice of the Peace Feibleman, while filled with the stern majesty of the law, cannot withstand the attack of an Irate woman armed with a chair. When Mrs. Griffin, of Fayette street, yesterday made a rush at him with a chair, his Honor, for a moment, was lost to sijrht of tne frequenters of his court. Mrs. Griffin was arrested by an officer, and when the 'bquire had auliicleutly recovered his composure and reassumed the dignity compatible with the chair, he ordered the woman to Jail for contempt. When she has served a term she will be rearrested for profanity, tho charge- which led to her appearance. Wanted to "Whip the Doctor. John Buschman is inclined to pugilism, and wants hia debts settled a la Sullivan. This arbitrary proceeding on the part of Bqschman, who has a groctry, did not meet with the approbation of J. II. Horn, who owes the belligerent a small account. Mr. Horn entrenched himself behind tho door of his house when Buschman came there to exact settlement in the manner described above, and refused to pay with his skin what he would not do Inf currency, liim-hraan thereupon took it out of the door, and Ir. Horn tiled a suit against him, the result of which is that Duschmau was fined.

The Governor Well Pleased. Governor Hovey returned to the city yesterday from the Milwaukee encampment, and expressed himself as having had "an enjoyable time. He met a large number of his old army comrades and made a large number of pleasant acquaintances. He says that It was the most harmonious encampment he ever attended. Some of the papers," said he, "stated that there was a loug-debate on the pension resolution. This is not so. There was no debate on them, but, on the contrary, they were adopted without debate and without a dissenting voice." New( Incorporations. The Martinsville Street-railway Comrany was incorporated yesterday vith a capital 6tock of $100,000, The Incorporators are Frank S. Montgomery, J. M. Fry, A. R. Shireman. J. D. Uriokert and W. W. Culoner. The Scatterneld Gas and Oil Company, ol Madison county, was also incorporated, the capital stock being $3,000. The Criminal Docket. In the Criminal Court, yesterday, James Hilllard, charged with forgery, was found guilty, and filed a motion for anew trial. George McCutchcon, convicted of assault nnd battery with intent to kill, was sentenced to three years in tho penitentiary, and Henry McKlwaln got three months in the work-house for petit larceny. - n 1 , The Clty'a Health Report. Forty-three births and forty deaths In the city were reported to the City Hoard of Health last week. Of the latter, two occurred from diptheria.

A Pertinent Point

Wo all crave the new. that is human nature and in tho right track, too, for that way improvement comes. But thcro is wisdom in accepting new things A3 well as seeking them. Too frequently the fate of a novelty, whether it be a fabric, a pattern, a design or a color, is to invite cheap imitations, and then tho test comes, and few there be that stand it. Pure art works are indestructible; tion of novelty aro quickly found out when cheap imitations make them universal. That which lias iutrinsic art worth holds its own in spito of passing fancy or fashion: In thinking of housefurnishing think of theso things, and come talk about them with rASTMAN, ,r SCHLEICHER & LEE, fiiu'pv'r Tin The Largest House in the State ADVMCE SALE.
