The Deaf Mute Learning to Talk.

In England the ordinary mode of communication between deaf mutes and those M ho converse with them is by gestures and signs, some of which are alphabetical. It is only those who have mixed much with deaf and dumb who know how' to communicate with them in tliis manner. The advantage of lip-reading is that it enables the mutes to understand the words of people who have no special familiarity with their ways, provided always that the speakers have not too bushy beards and mustaches. In the hopeful cases dumbness is a result of deafness, and when once the attention is trained to observe tire play of the facial muscles these movements of the face can be imitated. By imitating the actions they see in speaking persons the dumb are actually made capable of speech themselves so as to be audible and intelligible to ordinary people. The children examined on Thursday had not attained perfection in this branch, for the school had only been open three years, and the course takes eight. Their voices wandered sometimes into strange and mournful cadences, their “r’s” were usually whole syllables; but at last two pupils made every word they said clearly and distinctly understood. The establishment of the institution is due to conferences held in 1871 in the house of Baroness Mayer de Rothschild, who hail already founded the Jews’ Deaf and Dumb Home on the same system and under the same management. There are now fifty children on the books who all pay some amount for their education. After a few’ words from Mr. Van Praagb, the director of the school, the children came forward in four groups. First, those who had been from a fortnight to six months in the school, very little girls and boys, wrote letters on the blackboard and repeated them after their teacher. The next class has been a year in the school and they wrote such words as “ moon” and “thumb,” and read off little sentences with an eagerness to show' their acquirements and a pleasure of countenance and gesture which contrasted strangely with their halting utterance. The next group had been tw r o and a half years in the school. They could say “ copy-book” very distinctly, and on being examined knew that it was made of paper and that it cost four pence. They worked easy sums; enumerated the games they had played—cricaet and foot-ball —and the flowers they knew'. They wrote down from Mr. Van Praagh’s dictation sentences which he formed by his lips without saying a word. The fourth group of children, who had been,three and a half years in school, were asked more difficult questions. One had been to Paris and liked it very much. They talked French in Paris, she said, and so one of the boys was asked what language was spoken in Melbourne. He made an intelligent and amusing mistake in replying “Australian,” and when asked to what country Iceland belonged, began guessing, “England,” “Ireland,” as other quick boys do. But one of' the girls knew that Iceland belonged to Denmark, and that from Denmark came the Princess Alexandra. They knew who fought the battle of Waterloo, and that Bonaparte was dead a “ long time ago.” They knew’ that Sir John Franklin went toward the North Pole, where he found ice and snow. “He is dead,” said one of the boys slowly and solemnly.— London Times.

The Great Flood in France.

From Toulouse a graphic description is forwarded to the Debats of the aspect of that city when the inundation was at its height. The inhabitants assembled on the quays and on the stone bridge and looked helplessly on the scene of desolation and followed with terrified eyes the work of destruction. Property of all sorts was being Swept away by the angry waves; piles of timber, casks, cattle ana heavy planks were hurled in their flight against the piers of the bridge. Half an hour after the precaution had been taken to close the bridge of St. Pierre it gave way with a crash and it was quickly followed by the baths Raynaud and the large public warehouses of Tournay and St. Pierre. At last, as if all the elements were combining against the unfortunate town, the large rolling mills of Bezacle were discovered to be in flames, while another Are broke out at the Port Garaud in a house that was entirely cut off from any chance of succor. The manufactories of Bazacle and in the Rue des Amidonniers were abandoned on the water rushing into them and were of course greatly damaged. Two houses fell at the Port Garaud, and it is believed that two women are buried in the ruins. On the Quai de Tonnis the rise of the water was so rapid that many families could only be rescued by means of the windows. The tugboat stationed at St. Pierre was carried away by the force of the torrent and was capsized. Four or five persons were on board at the time, and as the vessel was borne away they uttered cries of despair. Their fate is as yet unknown. Among many tragical occurrences the following shows prominently: A messenger from the Church of Sept Deniers arrived at the artillery barracks and asked for volunteers to save four persons imprisoned in a house surrounded by water. Three men at once departed in two boats, accompanied by three sailors. They rowed over the inundated corn-fields between the Garonne and the canal until they arrived opposite the above-named church. There the first boat, manned bv two sailors and one artilleryman, was suddenly seized by the current, becanie unmanageable and was driven away toward the Garonne at a furious rate. The occupants of the other boat were just enabled to escape the current, and were thus preserved from an almost certain death. As to the persons shut up in the house it was found impossible to rescue them,, and fears were entertained that owing to the force of the water the building might succumb at any moment. Although we have the fullest accounts from Toulbuse it must not be imagined that the ravages of the disaster were confined to that city. On the contrary, terrible accounts’pour in from the surrounding districts, the floods having extended over a vast space of the country. From L’Ariege terrible news continues to arrive. At Verdun it is stated that fifty houses are destroyed, eighty unfortunate persons buried in the ruins, with about 500 head of cattle. Thirty-four corpses have been, recovered and buried after identification. The villages of Labastide and Besplas have been entirely engulfed. From the Tarn-et-Garonne the news is also disastrous. The Garonne and the Tarn have been very destructive in their course, and the overflow was so rapid that in many places the inhabitants were unable to carry anything away. A large number of families are homeless, and many animals have perished. At Gers and Manssebe- many houses have been washed down or have suffered In the tow ns and Villages of the BassesPyrenees there has been great destruction.

Bridgeshave been carried away; houses have been inundated and greatly injured; the crops have been partially destroyed in some districts; several animals nave been drowned and at Jaut a shepherd lost his life. A correspondent of the Soir telegraphs from Agen that the bodies of a number of cattle have been found in the fields; that mourning and ruin are everywhere; that the exchange and markets are shut, and that the. theaters are opened only for representations for the benefit of the victims. After Marshal MacMahon had inspected the scene of desolation last Sunday the public were allowed to visit the principal streets of the Faubourg St. Cyprien, and relative to this the correspondent of tlie Paris Figtiro , M. Gaston Vassy, contributes to the pages of that journal the following further details concerning the great catastrophe: “ Every moment bodies are being found for the most part horribly mutilated, some having to be literally pulled out piece by piece from the rubbish by which they haa been buried. Houses still continue to fall, and an unfortunate soldier has just been crushed by one. The hand is powerless to describe by the means of the pen the aspect of tliis desolated faubourg. At each step a heap of ruins marks what a short time ago had been a happy home. Furniture, linen and property of every description is mingled in inextricable" confusion w ith the bodies of men, women, children; and domestic animals crushed out of shape. At the locality known as the Place de Lomenie the state of the railing which incloses the office for the collection of the town dues may give one an idea of the fury of the water, the doors having been beaten in and tlie iron bars actually tw’isted. In tlie avenue of the ‘ Patte <r Oie’ tlie trees are thrown to the ground, the gas-lamps are torn up, and the work of destruction has been thoroughly done upon the right hand as w’ell as upon the. left of whoever strolls along the spot. It is worthy of remark, however, that'the only walls w’hich have resisted the enormous pressure of the floods are those built long ago, and the old fortifications are comparatively uninjured. The Rue de Tournefeuille may be pronounced to have been utterly blotted out —it no longer exists —and the ‘ Allee de la Republique’ has suffered even more than the avenue of the ‘ Patte de_Qie;’ there trees, posts and gaslamps cover the ground thickly, and the soil itself is most deeply torn up by the dashing stream which coursed over it. In every disaster one comic incident, at the least, usually presents itself, and a curious instance of this has just been related to me. Some soldiers passing by some ruins in the Allee Bonaparte heard faint cries of ‘ Papa. ’ To track the sounds and discover the locality from which’ they proceeded was but the w’ork of a moment —to rescue tire entombed victim was that of some hours. It was rather disappointing to the gallant fellows, after all their exertion and toil, to find that, although their labors had not been in vain, they had only rescued a fine gray parrot from an untimely end.”— London Telegraph

Singular Case of Insanity and Suicide.

Frank Rodecker, a prosperous German, proprietor of a large billiard hall and lager beer saloon at Third avenue and One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, to accommodate a friend about three months ago, mortgaged some property in Greenbush for SBSO. After the transaction he returned to his saloon and began to think over what he had done, and concluded that all was not right. As he was not informed in legal matters he asked the opinion of a neighbor. “ Why,” said the man, “don’t you know you have placed yourself completely in his power* That paper empowers him to come down here, take away all your property, sell it, and pocket the money.” Rodecker heard'these words in despair, and became . moody to the verge of insanity. He told his brother, his partner, of what he had done, saying that everything that they had acquired by their eight years of business would be swept away. He added that he didn’t care for himself; “ but,” said he, “ everything that you have will go, too, and many others must suffer.” His brother reasoned with him, telling him that the mortgage was good only for SBSO, and that beyond that the holder of the claim had no power over them. “Explain it,” said Rodecker. .After tlie explanation he brightened up and said: “.I see it’s all right; I wish I had left the whole business to you.” Rodecker soon became moody again, and, sitting behind his bar, questioned his customers about the troublesome mortgage. He often stopped while playing billiards with his brother, and exclaimed: “ I am sure that all our property is going to be sw’ept away.” He awoke in the night and asked his brother to explain the whole matter. Whenever he saw a lawyer passing his saloon he ran out, and, reciting liis troubles, asked the attorney’s opinion of the case. Rodecker was an athletic man, and had been particularly fond of fishing and of out-door sports, but after executing the mortgage papers he thought of nothing but that difficulty. The brother laughed at the trouble, and told Rodecker that lie acted like a child. On Wednesday the brother came down to the city to visit his father and mother, and returned about tw-elve o’clock at night. He was met by Rodecker, who askeff how his father and mother were, and then said, Very impressively, that he w-as sure that all their property would betaken away, as the man to whom he had given the mortgage had just won a suit in the courts. Rodecker then went up-stairs, and in a moment there was the sound of a pistol shot. He was found sitting in his chair by a window, with a bullet in his brain, and with a revolver still smoking in his hand. His brother raised him in his arms, and, with an effort, he said: “ ¥ou take care of father and mother; kiss me,” and fell back unconscious. Rodecker was thirty-two years old and unmarried.—We-ic York Sun.

»—The printed official census of Newfoundland for 1874 has just come to hand. It shows that, including the French shore and Labrador, there are 59,057 adherents of tlie Church of England, 64,018 of the Church of Rome, 35,099 Wesleyans, 470 of the Kirk of Scotland, 697 of the Free Church of Scotland, ard 486 Congregationalists. During the last five years the Church of England has increased at the rate of 7 per cent., the Wesleyans at the rate of 21 per cent, the Kill of Scotland at the rate of 17 per cent., and the Free Kirk at the rate of 21U per cent. —The Captain and mate of the bark Union have been arrested at San Francisco on the charge of wrecking the vesstd to obtain the insurance money. The plottings between them were overheard by the cook, who has given his testimony against them, and one of the prisoners has made a full confession. The penalty lor this crime is death and the case is the first that has occurred fofmany years in America. —Suicide is getting to be more common in thisjeountry than it formerly was in France? -

BREVITIES.

Jams, preserves, etc., can be prevented from, graining by adding a teaspoonful of cream of tartar to every gallon of the jam or preserves. He was bound to be accurate, and he described the woman’s costume thus: “ She wore an elegant suit of something or other, cut bias and trimmed endwise.” “ Jump-Up- Anp-Run- Aw at- And-Then--Bit-Dow-Again” is the name of an Indian chief who has taken the war-path. Here’s our ha’r, says a Colorado editor. The old Belgian proverb is: “No grass, no cattle; no cattle, no manure; no manure, no crops.” All States and countries come to this position sooner or later. Somebody says that “ large ears denote broad, comprehensive views and modes of thought.” What magnificent ideas (thinks the Boston Journal) a jackass must have! A lazy fellow falling a distance of fifty feet and escaping with only a few scratches, a bystander remarked that he w’as “too slow to fall fast enough to hurt himself.” Port Eads is to be tlie name of a new “ settlement” down at the New Orleans jetties. Hundreds of workmen are already settled there, engaged in the jetty construction. “ What is proper condiment for one sex of the bird is proper condiment for the other,” is a Connecticut legislator’s way of saying “ What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.” The Russian Government spends annually $32,000 for carriages in behalf of singers at the St. Petersburg opera in ith der to keep them out of the snow worwann feet and plear voices. This is the season when people cook great quantities of provisions in the house and go out in the w oods like wild Indians to eat wha they have cooked. That performance is what is called a picnic. The total cost of the St. Louis bridge is but little less than $7,000,000. Its gross receipts in the last year were $286,000, and its expenses $98,000, leaving SIBB,OOO to pay the interest on the $7,000,000. Iceland’s volcanic action is increasing in intensity. “ The w’hole region of the My-vatu Mountains is one blazing fire,” and new craters and fissures of portentous magnitude are making their appearance every few weeks. The Chemical Bank of New York, with a capital of $300,000, deciares' a dividend every two months, the last on the Ist of July, 15 per cent.; par value of shares, SIOO, while $1,600 a share is bid for the stock, and none for sale. It is estimated by competent authority that the accidental deaths occurring in and around the Comstock mines will average one death for every week in the year, while tlie serious accidents will average one for each day in the 365. It is intended to build, at the great steel works in Essen, Prussia, a new’steam hammer, capable of w’orking a mass of steel 100 tons in weight. It is estimated that this machine, w hich will be the most pow rerful in the world, will cost $1,000,000. It is recorded that M. Thiers once had his hat knocked off by some fixtures in front of a shop in Paris, and he was so pleased with the fact that he was too tall for once in his life that he often revisited the shop and became a regular customer. An unparalleled feat was accomplished recently in the district of Shahabad, India. Two unarmed youths attacked a tiger of immense size, and with the aid of some other natives who came up, strangled the beast without using any other weapon but those given them by nature. The stories that mining was successfully carried on at Newbury, Mass., 100 years ago have been corroborated by the discovery, in an old shaft forty feet deep, of the rotten timbers of a coping, ropes and other relics, together with some good specimens of silver and lead.

How to Judge the Weather.—The colors of the sky, at different times, are a wonderful guidance. Not only does a clear sunset presage fair weather, but there are other tints which speak with clearness and accuracy. A bright yellow in the evening indicates wind; a pale yellow wet; a neutral gray color constitutes a favorable sign in the evening—an unfavorable one in the morning. The clouds are full of meaning in themselves. If they are soft, undefined and feathery, the weather will be fine; if the edges are hard, sharp and definite, it will be foul. Generally speaking, any deep, unusual hues betoken wind and rain; while more quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair weather. Simple as these maxims are, the British Board of Trade has thought fit to publish them for the use of seafaring men.— Exchange. The London correspondence of the Liverpool Post says a fearful rumor is about that the Princess Beatrice may very probably marry neither a German nor an Englishman, but an American who has lately been very much at court. A New York, paper has information that there is not one-half the demand for soda water that there was two or three years ago. And yet, soda water seems to fill a place which rain-water or dish-water can’t touch.

Says a late issue of the Philadelphia City Item: “ Ingenuity has been taxed to find the surest and most direct means of reaching the public, and the business man who would advertise a specialty, and get the greatest good out of the greatest number, in the shortest space of time, is compelled to go to Geo. P. Rowell <fe Co., of New York, for advice. Why to this house ? Because it is the head and front of the advertising business.
