The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes ii) the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especi ally in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like ft heavy load qn the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is at tended with a greenish colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he be comes nervous, irritable aqd gloomy, and has evil forebod ings. There is a giddiness, a sort qf whirling sensation in the head when rising up sud denly, The bowel* become costive j the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with ellow; the kidney secretions comes scanty and high col ored, dejiosit.ng a sediment after standing.

Tbe following excellent paper on tbe subject of the education of deaf motes was recently prepared for the Phiiomatbian Club in this County by Mr, D. 0. Hicks, a graduate of the National Deaf Mate College at Washington : It is said that big tong ponstan r tly reppets its self, bot its records may be searched in vain for men tion of an occasion like tnat, when Congress appropriated a sum of money for tbe erection of a College tor tbe higher education of deaf- mute*, it being tbe only College in the world where a deaf mute can obtain a thorough edneatipu and enjoy all tbe facilities offered their more fortunate brethcren in other Colleges. Indeed the attempt to educate dppt motes at all is a very recent enterprise Looking back but a century or two, we find tbe first minds in law, literature, and the ology, united for the most partin rejecting deaf-mutes as incapable of receiving any education what- ever, Aristptle before the Allien- iansdenied deaf-mutes the possvs- sioa of eutellect, and we cau hardly avoid the decision that tbe mistake of so influential a character w as the prime cause of tbe long and crnel proscription which they after wards endured. But as John Locke aptly expressed it the world learned at last that “God did uot make man and leave it to Arisfotlp to make him rational.” Tbe risp and progress of deaf tnpte instruction has been like that of those great inventions, which were vehemently cried down at the start, but which finally achieved the fnliest success, and 0>r tbe last 65 years, the people of all civilized 'countries have re cognized tbe jus tice and tbe policy of providing ample means for us prosecution. How great the transition from that time, scarcely one .century ago jvben deaf mutes w e/e uuhopiug and unhoped tor, partahs of society, to our own day, when the hand ot edn ation raises the same class from their mental and spiritual ignorance, trams them up lo intel ligent manhood and womanhood, and endows them with tbe sublime consciousness of their present in fluence and future immortality. We may fairly congratulate ourselves that Atneric* has learned so well that lesson ot history which points out a wise fostering of edu cation as one of the surest safe guards ol a peopl.o. While deaf mutes are deeply sensible of what the nation has done for them, they feel that society is to be no loser thereby. If one Irorn their own ranks thought less un fortunate may properly speak tor them, they ask the people not to over look the gain, material and moral, which wiil accrue to society through the education of them selves. Aud who cau estimate the moral aud aesthetic gaiu f By what rule shall we calculate the reactive influence exerted upon so ciety through (be constant resene of a numerous class from the bond age of an incomplete development, and their tranainutation into capa ble, cheerful, .Christian men and women f For with a good educa tion though a man’s ear be closed to all the “concord of sweetsouuds,'’ yet may he hearken to tbe call of .(futy, and itis actions breathe of an earnest pnrpose. Bat it may be asked what use can tbe graduates ol a deaf mute ^college be in a community I Jn answer J will state that over two-thirds of the graduate* since tbe foundation of the college up to tbe time 1 left Washington were oc cupying various lucrative (lositions of honor and trnst, several being in tbe government .©“PlbYi or l e ol .whom was^u examiner in the pat ent office; their salaries, I have beard, will average 11,100 per an- nnm. The exhibition of these facts though cosstiluting a practical an swer to the qnesiion just rais'd, doespptgive a fall response toil. We have every reason to expect that deaf mute gradnates will be able to render valuable service to soch ty as chemists, civil engineers, dranghtsmen, architects, astronom ical observers, translators of foreign publications, editors, authors, and tit many other capacities. Silence and seclusion are condo- •ive to study and meditation ; in tha silence of tbe night the astrono mers can best study tbe heavens, jn the silence of tbe desert aud care the hermit can beat meditate on tbe .vanities of life and tbe attributes of God, and is it unreasonable to hope that men whose atmospheie through life .is .silence may, if allowed tbe beofit of a superior education, be come prominent in all those branch es of Jearniug to tbe acquisition of which silence is conducive* Why may we uot expect to find among them our most profound matbema- Uoiansand ppfrr nomers, onr most clear thinkers and chaste writers I In the progress of tbe deaf-mute education, mental powers of a high order in many students have al ready been awakened from a sleep poafoely leaa heavy than that of death itself, to an activity ths bounds and results of which no one c;«u measure. Until that day, the coming of which no man can pre dict, when “the desert shall rejoice and blossom as tbe rose;” “when tbe ears of the deaf shall be unstopped*’ and “the tongue of the dumb sing,’’ it is reasonable to suppose that the college for deaf-mutes will nave a mission to fulfill. Mr. Dayls Declines the Invitation. (Wash. cor. New York Timm.) The visit of his daughter North has been mode the occasion of .uvi- tations fora similar visit to Jeffer son Davis himself. Reasons uot to nuderatand have prompted the old Confederate Breoiden’, howev er, to decline all these courtesies. It is related that Mr. Davis has uot opened his mail personally for years pranks persecute him continually with missives of affection and oth erwise, and lecture bureaus and sensatiou-seeking publishers are inviting big) daily into sohetpes that promise him untold wealth. Not long ago a Southern ininaig company sent him official notice that he had been choseu its Presi dent, and was to have a good, fat salary without being oh’iged to dq any work or invest auy mouey The use of his name was what the en terprising projectors wanteJ. His declination of the bouor and the ducats was prompt and enqibajjc. It has been a good deal of a disap- C ’ itmeut to the real chief that the k which he piinted gome nine years ago has failed to make a hit. He worked harder to produce tbat^ ha says, tbau he ever worked be fore, and he declines to believe that there was anything in the style of bis narrative to account for the public’s neglect of the volume. The trnth is that the book was heavy with argumeut; it was turgid, stump speechy, and not an inking of tempting tale telling from cover to cover. Home frank critics among his ite/oonai friends have fold Mr. Davis this, and have urgetj him to try his pen at another volume that shall have anecdote aud live remiu- isceuce in it. Early last summer Mr. Davis began to act ou tins ad vine, and it is said that he dictated a half dozen chapters that weie models in their way—fuil of inter est, chatty without being cheap, eutcjtaiuing, but of historic value. But iu au hour of downcast spirit — and such hours are uot inlrequeut iu these later years—he gave over the task aud vowed to quit it JOB 1PMT11T.

Due of those beautiful black eyes is glass but it seems so much the couterpurt of the other that not oue person iu a hundred would detect its artificial tty. Among tbe members of his profession not one knows that the young men has only one gopl eye. “On one occasion be escgrteil a young lady to tbe refreshment tables aud entertained her with pleasant chat in a way that be thought was making a favorable impression. As they wore taking ice-cream he look ed up as she gave utterance to some starling exclamation aud was sur prsed to see her eyes fixed on him with a look of mystified intent ness and horror. She was a well l)red girl, hat something so astonished her that she continued to look at him in a way that raised the ques tion of bis sanity. A fly had lit square in the centre of bis black glass eye and remained there, be, of coarse, unconscious of its pres ence. The spectacle of that eye looking at her with a fly ou it and the owner making no attempt to biusb ft qfl whs too much for his companion. His explanation, even was uot quite satisfactory. She had believe^ so implicitly in those magnificent eyes that she has since that time regarded him as some thing of a (rand .”—From the Chicago Inter Ocean. Career of a Carious Coin. (Grrenrilto New*.} Some time since Julius 0 Smith had stolen from bis cabinet of cori osities a fitly cent silver piece with an engraved inscription commemor ative of the removal ot tbe United State* troops from the South Caro lina State House. He advertised his loss in the JiTeirs, and cu Wed nesday Gower ReiHy found the qpin in tbeir cash.
