the dumb have made themselves understood.
ranking nver the well known case of
Mi.-a Bitliu. who, though born without
hands or aims, attained considerable
eminence as a miniature painter, it
niay be noted that there are abundant
instances recorded of persons who
could notonlv write, but paint toler
ably well, willi their toes.
TAiere was. for instance, at CogirPS
hall, in Vnrcx, a man named Carter,
who wax so thoroughly paralyzed that
tie hud quite lost the use of his hands,
and was obliged to be on his buck.
He iartly supported himself by his
beautiful drawings, which he did with
hit mouth ; and lie could copy an old
uod cut or platt) to closely that it

origrrjitl.
Sir Charles Bell too. tells us of a
Russian liejjpir born without hands,
whofretnieiiuvl the high road to Mos
cow, and committed many murders
before he was discovered and exe
cuted. His method of work was pe
culiar. He used to throw himself
against a person who was giving him
alms, and. having stuunou. him, pro
ceeded U seize him with his teeth, and
ur&s bini mto the wood. There are
tliemfore many occupations which can
be toHtAVttd even if a person have no
hands.
To nrt)rhat the tonsme is not ab

an easy niautsr, since mere are many
authentic case of persons, who, hav
ing lost their tongues owing to some
accident or operation, have yet man
aged to speak distinctly. But to con
vey thoughts without speech, to speak
without words is another matter. Per
haps the most curious example of this
form of ingenuity either in fact or
fiction is the means by which the
paralytic old Noirtier. in "Monte
Oris to," was able to sieul( to anybody
who understood his system, fie, it
will be remembered, had sight and
bearing Ic.Tt to him, and he expressed
approbation, by closing hiscyes, his re
fusal to any proposal by winking
