DUMB AND BLIND."

Quite a sensational story has been going the rounds of the press for some time oonoerning a young lady in Brooklyn, who Is "blind, yet can see," "deaf, yet can hear." I cannot for the life of me see why the papers should "make such a fuss about it"—as the children say. With the exception of requiring such small quantitiee of food there is nothing remarkable—when one half the people in the world are not •nly in the same mysterious condition, but also are dumb, yet oan speak. In our daily walk through life we hourly oome in contact with and live directly in the midst of both men and women who are blind to the virtues of their fellow creatures, blind to the sight of suffering humanity, to the interests of the community worse yet, often to the -wants of those nearest and dearest! Yet eyes wide open—staring wide—to discover every error of a neighbor, to see a fault in everything, every one save themselves, to pick a flaw where others, with bright, clear-seeing eyes, discern naught but perfection eyes for all imperfections of mankind excepting their own.

Deaf? Yes "deaf as an adder," to the voioe of affliction, the cries of want from the hungry and suffering deaf to the story of the wronged and and down trodden, to the cries of the homeless, helpless orphan, the weak and defence less dependent, but with an ear keen as the sharpest edged razor for the voice of calumny, the tongue of slander, the •whisper of suspicion, the failure of the fallen who are striving to regain that which once was lost.

Dumb, yet can speak. Yes, dumb with words of kindness, love and encouragement of cheer to the cheerless, sympathy to the weary and heartbroken. Yet, in voices of thunder herald the faults of those whom they should shield, proclaim to the world the misfortunes of their fellow men, or far, far worse, those of woman kind.

A number of years ago the writer was walking with a party of gay young friends down Pennsylvania Avenue in the city of Washington one Sunday afternoon—by the way, the very day and hour Key was shot by Sickles—and her atttention was attracted to a small boy of ten, o», perhaps, twelve years of age, leaning against the closed door of one of the largest stores in the city. His clothes—or rather, what had once been clothes—were a mass of tatters and rags had they been perfectly new they would have been at least two sizes too small for him his feet, entirely bare, were

inched and purple, fairly raw from the cold: a crown less old straw hat, the rim pulled low upon his forehead, was the covering for his head in bis moutk was a cigar which he was smoking, with a look of contentment and happiness which would have been a choice model for an artist. Oh! how distinctly I see to-night that comical looking, yet sad, sad picture of long years ago I Our little party approached, stopped, learned his name, the whereabouts of his home. Home, did I say? Let's call it by another name, one more appropriate, a but, a hovel—lit only for the brute creation. We contributed a sum quite sufficient—if rightly applied —to purchase the best of boots and warm comfortable stockings for those frosen feet. Could the reader have seen the look of happy astonishment upon bis face, have seen that cigar fly into the street, that bundle of rags rushing after, they would, no doubt, have felt as we did, happy—only regretting we had not the wherewith to have taken him to a clothier's and fitted him with good, sub stantial clothes from head to foot. Alas! dear reader, how many of the vast throngs that passed back and forth upon the Avenue that bright, cold December day, saw that little object of pity? Many, many saw, but few to realise or relieve its miserable, nitiful condition. Thus, you see, the world is full of peo pie who are "blind, yet can see," "deaf yet can hear," "dumb, yet can speak."

Thoie sentences cause me to think of a little circumstance that occurred a few weeks since. 1 was visiting a family of friends and among its members were two little little girls of six and ten years. There was to be a matinee at the Opera House one afternoon during my stay, and the children were wild with eager ness to go-iiWM bad gone to a place of amusemer -f^d when the father came to dinner entreated him to let them go "No," he said, "I've no money." H« went from home 1 did not see where be •pent his money that afternoon, but when he made his appearance at night I am sure I saw how be had spent it. Ob! that 1 had been blind to the sight 1 Was that father deaf? Yes, to the earnest appeals of his little ones, but not to the loud calls of his appetite, or own pleas* ore Was he blind Yes, to their tearstained faces, but with weak, milk and water eyes, quickly discovered one of their cloaks was too long. Dumb? Yea, to say. "Go and enjoy the treat"—-to them—oat not to deny them the much coveted pleasure, nor to find fault with what the devoted mother had furnished for their comfort. Now, in my opinion, kind reader. tAat man is "deaf, dumb and blind" to all feeling of humanity. The little things went however—through no agency of his—and when they came home I felt that I myself had enjoved the finest entertainment the world atfards. Oh! they were so happy so delighted!

During one of ray winters in Washington I nadn't anything to do bat enjoy myself and see t&e sights of &e great city, and, as another backwoods, ignorant girl would have done, rest assured, I improved the opportunity. In my dally walks up and down the Avenue, sometimes upon business, oftener upon pleasure, I passed an old colored woman who for years bad occupied Uw same •eat ujpon the first corner of tbe Avenue, directly below the President's Mansion

—no dottbt many of our citizens remember ber well—she was plainly but very neatly olad, and wore a dark calico sun bonnet across tbe top was sewed a piece a white pasteboard, upon which the words, "Buy the blind woman," were printed in large black letters. Yea, 1 say, put her up for sale sell ber I But be very careful after she is sold, do not sell, but do as I have done, "giveaway" the "Blind man." r. E. M.

REPLY TO" WOMAN'S OPINIONS."

CoL Ingersoli's Views vs. Bible Teaching,

TOUCHING WOMAN'S ELEVATION.

TKRRK HAUTK, Dec. 12, 1878.

To the Editor of the Mall. DJBAR SIR Permit me, in the interest of all that is sacred and pure, to enter a respectful, yet earnest, protest against the article headed "A Woman's Opinion's," in Tbe Mail of last Satuiday, wherein Mr. Ingersoll, and his views touching woman's elevation, are placed in contrast to the teachings of the Bible, and set before us at the expense of the latter. If the article means anything, it's logical outcome Is that Mr. Ingersoll is greater than Jesus Christ in tbe elevation of the race, and be and reformers like him, who call the Gospel a humbug and a cheat, and Christian teachers hypocrites, are to be held up as the exemplary leaders of a true civilisation rising off the ruins of the old christian superstition, cast aside as a worthless relio of enslavement, ignorance and deg radation. I protest against such articles because I do not think they ought to find their way into Christian households through the columns of tbe trusted fam ily newspaper, and thus become paraded before our ohildren as the truth. I pro test against tbem because they are not the truth. The writer,—and she may perhaps be an acquaintance of mine, even a personal friend, whom I should be sorry to wound,—has neverthe less gone too far here, and as she has already said that she asked for no show of gallantry from Town Talk on the score of ber being a woman, so I presume she will not in the present case object to honest criticism of tbe views she has publicly expressed, and which have thus become public property.

Tne article chooses to array Mr. Ingersoll's soft speeches to woman against sundry teachings of Paul, Peter and Genesis, and then to set forth that showing as an expose of the degraded condition in which the Bible leaves woman. Now is that just? It is very easy to do such things,—simply put quotations side by side, and it makes a nice point. But is it altogether correct? Is it what fair discussion may properly demand.

It is not difficult to take sundry ex pressions of any one, and, separating them from their connection, make them tell almost any story. So, too, it by no means proves what the tendency of Mr. Ingersoli's views or teasbings may be, to ftake his compliments to woman as the equivalent of his teachings. There isn't a libertine who does not begin his work of ruin by first complimenting his victim. But would we feel justified in turning around and saying how it is to him and his class that we are to look "for any prospect of happiness in this world," and at the same time give old Paula stab for degradiug woman? Of conrse, I do not mean to say that Mr. Ingersoll is such a man. But that doesn't alter the force of the argument, or change the tendency of his teachings. What he may say of woman is one thing, what he may in reality be teach ing is quite another. And it is in that tendency that we find the poison They once attempted to crown Reason king of tbe Slate, the world, and man alike, in the days of the Infidel Republic of France, in 1798. And whom did they take for their Goddess of Reason? They put the crown upon the head of a loose woman from tbe lower grades of society, and hailed her greater than God. Perhaps there is no significance in all this But there are many who think that if once the sweet consolations, nay, the inspiration of faith, were once taken away from woman, her nobility, if not her purity, would go next. There are a large class of thinkers and scholars and historians, who, to say the least, are Mr. Ingersoll's peers, and who claim tbat tbe whole history of Gospel progress bai been the upward march of woman, until where, in the nineteenth century, Christian civilization most abounds, there tbe sanctity of home life is best secured there, woman finds widest scope and her greatest honor. Take the women of China, to-day—of India,—yes, of Japan, with so muoh that is attractive there,—and who in this land, Christian or not, would wish his wife or mother subjected to such influences, and leading suoh a life? Perhaps there is no significance in this, either. But it is wbat we mean, notwithstanding, when we speak of the Genesis of the Gospel—agencies availing to help on the Fatherhood of God, and brotherhood of man, "and tbe most complete disentbrallment of woman." There Is neither male nor female, for "ye are all one in Christ Jesus," we claim is the true Christian doctrine.

But here comes up Paul again. Well, I have just two things to say here: First, we have no right to take local references—as I believe the basis of all these sayings in tbe Epistles was in tbe reference to a local abuse and to immediate danger resulting therefrom—and apply them to all time. Tbe injunctions were all written to oburcbes in heathen lands and in those lands, moreover, where the Gospul, also, wss not responsible for any shaping of codes and customs. Woman was so degraded that for the Christian women there to do wbat Paul condemned would really have been to identify themselves with loose women who alone did such things, and thus to bring needless reproach upon tbe Church. Heathen corruptions, even of an immoral character, bad already crept into tbe churches in those places, and it was to correct them, in the interest of a pure morality, tbat the rebukes were given. Or, if second, a more general universal truth of subordination to man as tbe head, really is taught, have all people,—all progressive, liberal people also, even if disbelievers in tbe Gospel, yet agreed that this is a degradation of woman? May it not be a universal yet beneftcient truth that the man is in lact the head so far as a true order is concerned So far as my own personal opinion goes, I do not think a fair interpretation of tbe apostolic teachings necessitates this ail-sweeping literal subordination, when we come to treat the question with reference to tbe rest of tbe Gospel, and in tbe light of surrounding circumstances, such as already Indicated but

ir

it does, even then it doesnt

follow that there is necessarily a "degradation" Involved,—while In fact, where

has woman ever had more influence, or been less a drudge or a Blave, or mere puppet, than in Christian America to-

Ind tbe still greater "degradation" of woman, in tbe Old Testament, Is referred to. Has our friend stopped to look carefully bere, I hardly think she would have written that. As to the curse in Genesis, if woman In fact was tbe first mover of tbe two in the transgression, I don't know as the sentence can be called too harsh. I do not propose to apologise at all for that sentence. But don't let us get more bitter out of it than is in it. How tar itissll the statement or literal fact In detail is a question. Might it not be, is it not-possible to oonceive tbat tbe "serpent" was the principle of evil personified? Then what do we virtually find The future moral perception of the race was to be on tbe side of woman. Hers was to be tbe advantage there—the keenest moral sense was to be hers instead of man's. If she was to bear her part of the tin,—man to bear the brnnt of all tbe tolls of life,—yet it was between tbe serpent and bersolf especially, that henceforth enmity was toexiBt. At any rate the sentence did not leave her under tbe curse alone of sin it was also to put upon ber peculiarly, tbe honor of being the chief moral human—wise, towards freeing tbe world from sin.

But still farther, the reference of our friend is a little unfortunate for her side, Compared with tbeotber nations around tbe Hebrew woman was really exalted. Wbat is the earliest Biblical teaching inculcated One man and one wo man his wife! Is there degradation bere, with polygamy the praotloe all around Of course there was corruption. But the Bible never told Solomon to have five hundred wives. Nor is bis last end held up to us as in any wise very desirable. Under the Jewish system also, woman might go unveiled. She might go alone, she might converse in public. Sbe could give counsel in times of public exigency, and in public matters otherwise. She could deliver a city. Sbe oould raise an army and make war, On the other hand, look at tbe Greek women of those times. Take the most cultivated nations tbat flourished then. Compare woman and ber condition and purity in those systems with tbe Hebrew women, and see wherein we find her sharing one half the provision made for a true womanhood as in tbe codes and customs of the Hebrews On the whole I think the Old Testament will stand the test bere.

And now a word or two more and then I will close this already too long communication.

Much does indeed remain to be done for woman and man alike. In this nineteenth century, when intellectual activity is everywhere abounding, when our eauoational institutions,—centers of science, learning, culture and art, managed also by Christian soholars, are sending forth their beneficient influences on every band when kindly reform is abounding to lift up tbe fallen, and make tbem anew children of God, with his image undimmed upon their brow, where too, the cry of suffering, struggling humanity is borne to us on every breeze, how high are the duties which must thus continue to press upon every true woman, to make ber more than ever before one with other benefactors of the race. We need patriots. We heed statesmen. We need oitizens. We need wives, mothers and daughters, who shall make patriotism a holy passion who shall free civil trusts from the alloy of self seeking who shall carry into political walks an incorruptible integrity and who shall transmit to the coming generations, unimpaired, a true liberty that no after age can ever filch. Who shall train the generations thus prepared for the future? Who shall mingle with the songs of infancy tbe refrain of freedom ana right, and instil into the young heart tbe sentiments of a kindly brotherhood of peace and love, and plant there principles which shall form tbe character of tbe future philanthropist, patriot and upright man Ready lips anticipate me the mother. And I say still farther, the Christian mother. Such was the mother of ingersoll himself—a Christian mother. Strangely as, to some of us, it seems, he has consecrated himself to his life-work, yet who shall estimate tbat Christian mother's influence over all that is noble within bim Who of us, if called to ohoose, would prefer to live in a land where no Christian mothers were found? For these reasons I cannot sit still and suffer tbe old Guide Book, tbat Magna Charta of Christian rights, where the Christian mother has gone for her light and guide, tbe Bible of tbe ages, to be placed in disrepute, or consent in silence to bear those influences depreciated which have made the Christian mother and Christian household benisons of tbe highest good to man. True, Col. Ingersoll's gallant utterances are tbe offset of it all! Yet I think, were the truth really told, tbat most women would rather be would "gush" less, and honor what they love, more. To me at least, bis words smack a little too much of those drawing-room flatteries, generally meaningless, and which every true woman resents.^ I remain, Respectfully yours,

S. S. MARTYN.

NOT SO BAD.

SOME MEN'S WIVES. i-

'I tell you wbat it is,' said one of a small coterie of wealthy men, who had met in the office of one of their number, they may say wbat they please about the usefulness of modern women, but my wife has done ber sbsre in securing our success in life. Everybody knows that ber family was aristocrat and exclu* sive and all that, and when I married ber sbe bad never done a day's work in ber life but when W. A Co. failed, and I had to oommence at tbe foot of tbe hill again, sbe discharged tbe servants, end chose out a neat little cottage, and did her own housekeeping until I was better off again.' 'And my wife,' said a second, 'was an only daughter, caressed and petted to death and everybody said, "Well, if he will marry a doll like that, he'll make tbe greatest mistake of his life but when I came home the first year of our marriage sick with the fever, she nursed me back to health, and I never knew ber to mnrmur because I thought we couldn't sflord any better style or more luxuries.' 'Well, gentlemen,' chimed in a third, 'I married a smart, healthy, pretty rlrl, but sbe was a regular blue stocking. She adored Teeny son, doted on Byron, read Emerson, and named tbe first baby Ralph Waldo, and tbe second Maud but I tell you what 'Us,' and the speaker's eyes grew suspiciously moist, 'when we laid little Maud in her last bed at Auburn, my poor wife had no remembrance of neglect or stinted motherly care, and the little dresses that still lie in tbe locked drawer were all made by ber own hands-'—Journal of Commerce.

A FRANKFORT, KY., PHYSiciArfwritea to Dr. Swayne A Son, Philadelphia: Some months ago the daughter of one of our prominent citizens was pronounced a hopeless consumptive and to have seen her at time one would have supposed there was ground for tbe decision, as she was very much reduced in flesh, had a terrible cough, expectorated blood, streaked tuberculous matter, very ner vous. that she could scarcely sleep. She bad Deen doctored a long while with cough and various specifics, and several physicians had tried their skill on ber, but without avail, her life gradually wasting away. 1 recommended ber to use Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry, which sbe did, and in a few weeks sbe was free from all cough, and other symptoms of disease, and it was considered a miracle in this section, as she is now rosy and healthy. Let all who are predisposed to weak lungs, Coughs and Colds, Throat, Breast and Lung Disorders, try Dr. Swayne's Com pound Syrup of Wild Cherry, they will soon discover that it is vastly superior to anything they have ever used. It is equally valuable in asthmatic and bronchial affections. Prepared only by Dr. Swayne & Son, 330 North Sixth street, Philadelphia. Trial bottles, 25 oents, large size (holding five of the small), it, or half dozen f5. Sold by Buntin Armstrong, Terre Haute.

MRS. SARH A. ELLIOTT, the authoress of "Mrs. Elliott's Housewife," Oxford, N. C., writes: "1 was among the first that used the 'London Hair Color Restorer' in this section, and recommended it to M. A. A C. A. Santos, Norfolk, Va., as the most beautiful hair dresser and preserver I had ever seen. I was advised by an eminent physician to use it. Since doing so, it has proved so sat isfactory in restoring and beautifying my hair, as well as strengthening my eyesight, tbat I have recommended it to my druggists here in Oxford, Raleigh, and a great many of my friends, and I believe I have, from wbat others say, caused it to have a wide and extended sale, and deservedly so, as it is certainly the most cleanly and effective hair restorer now before the American people." The "London Hair Restorer" can ke obtained at all the leading druggists at 75 cents a bottle, or f4 for six bottles. Sold by Buntin A Armstrong, Terre Haute.

Chills and Fever—Sure Cure. Why suffer from ague, Intermittent or remittent fevers, when Swayne's Fever and Ague Pills only cost 50 oents a box, and are a certain cure for all diseases having their origin in malaria. They contain no calomel or quinine, or other minerals, consequently have no bad effect, as is the case with many other remedies. They act on tbe secretions of tbe liver, and brace up the system to a vigorous, healtby condition, thus effecting a permanent cure. Swayne's Fever and Ague Pills are very valuable in all cases were a strengthening or tonic medicine is required, and during the malarial season sboold be taken occasionally to ward off fevers, Ac. Do not wait to see all the marked stages, such as a shske, a fever and a sweat, but should you feel more depressed one day than another day, or out of sorts, take some of Dr. Swayne's Ague and Tonic Pills, they will be sure to better your condition. Price 50 cents a box, three boxes, $1.25. Sent by mail, on receipt of price, by Dr. Swayue A Son, Philadelphia. Sold by Buntlu A Armstrong, Terre Haute.

Remarkable Resalt.

It makes no difference bow many physicians, or bow much medicine you have tried, it is now an established foot tbat German Syrup is tbe only remedy which bas ijiven complete satisfaction in severe eases of Lang Diseases. It is true tbere are thousands of persons who are predispose) to Throat and Lung Affections, Consumption. Hemorrhages, Asthma, Severe Colds settled on the Breast. Pneumonia, Whooping Cough, dcc., who have no personal knowledge of Boschee's German Syrup. To such we would aay that 50,000 dosen were sold last year without one complaint. Consumptives try just one bottle. Regular sice 75 cents. Sold by all druggists in America.
