Tho State clmrltlen include three elnHses of untorttinates who arc entitled to tho sympathy of tho community: tho riiflane, tho Deaf Mutes, and tho Wind. Tho flrt named they whoso reason h dethroned receive the unromittlngciiro of competent phyniclans and attendants, though their malady Is often most re pulsive and their lives many times a helpless existence that can only find relief when death affords a kindly release. Thucaro of these unfortunates greatly Increases tho taxation and burdens of tho 8tnte,liut humanity will not consent that they should Miller uncared for. Tho State provides a home for these fillip wrecked Intellects and cares tenderly for those of whoso rocovory there Is any hope. Tho Blind constitute an Interesting though not numerous class or imfortu nates whose soiipcs are heroft of the great delight of seeing natures and participat ing In the ordinary activities ot life. Kor them n system of education has been provided, and our State contributes Mimetlilntr. towards maintaining here n hchool for their Instruction. Tho wholo number in tho State hardly constitutes more than enough to form n single sehool, and ns many of them can only reach Instruction if ottered to them at public expense the relief ulibrdcd by the State Is a great blessing. Still another class receive Siato Instruc tion 'o refer to tho J)eaf Mutes, whoso school has just adjourned for tho season and whose closing exercises wo havo no. tlced. Those who wero present could realize the great blessing of this school to those to whom all tho voices of nature, the volleyed thunder, tho rustling wind, tho sweelest songs of birds and tho stilt sweeter muslo ol kindly voices are un known and unappreciated. When we realize the lulliiciico of sound upon the senses that all lesions and good impres sions nro oxpiesscd by lip and tongue wo may readily perceive now dillluult It Is to teach these mute scholars to use words that have lor them no voice, and language that lucks all emphasis and oxpivs-ilou. J lore signs ami wonderful pantomime are made the vehicle of instruction, and tho child, or youth, or (veil man, who has grown up without a cultivated moral sense ameuablo only to kindness, and often willful and pas sionate beyond control becomes first aware of his moral existence, learns to cultivate thesoul, (oculist tlioaU'ectlous, to understand life and Its duties, often for the llrst time learns of tho tics of home, of tho relations of tho family, why parents nro to bo repeetwl nntl oiteycd nnd itilu lives to bo loved. And here they are first taught tho existence of a Ondaiul tho duties that nro Incul cated by our religion. One young limn intelligent nnd attractive In looks, as arc most of these pupils was not amenable to homo iulluctices and would not assist his father on the farm without payment. He had learned the value of money and Its uses ami knew no hviimiii why lie owed ser vice to his father more than to others. Iteliig sent to tills school ho was taught all this wonderful science of social life; a new world was opened to him, he became aware of his position and of his duties, and learned his own deficiency. Just imagine what the dawn of reasoning powcis wrought lor tills young man; how his mlml was taught to weigh the right and the wrong, and Ills soul to ivpo.-c confidence In divine love and his allcctlons to center in home and the appreciation of homo duties! Imagine, loo, the thankfulness in the heart of the parents when the willful youth, who went away deaf to all reason as woll as to sound, camo back n sentient being, clothed in his right mind, recognizing his duties ns a sou and a brother and able to co'tverso with them by writing and by signal This lllustrnles the vnluo of tills fcliool, which Is fortunate In having enlisted the sympathies of Kov. V. S. Knight, who dui'liitr the mist vear has been luln. elpal of the Institution and has carried the pupils on ton higher training than i liev have heretofore received. Mr. and Mrs, lv night have taken deep interest in the Instruction of Deaf .Mutes for years before they had any control of the institu tion and deserve to ho respected for being willing to devote themselves to their instruction, a work to which natural adaptation Is needed. such as .Mr. Knight ha shown. Uelluds satisfaction In the dllllcult task of opening to this aHiictcd class the great truths that alone can elevate them to citizenship with human- It N ludlstihargeof a dutv we owe the public that wo call attention to tho iieces sltv for granting State aid for these Institutions and to tho benellts that are l bus conferred on the several classes of recipients. Wo are In this world to do kooiI as we havo opportunity, anil tliou mulcted persons are In a condition that Individual aid cannot easily reach, so tho aid must como from tlio State. A visit to thi-sebtato Institutions must convince any one of tho great good they perform, and mi long as they are well conducted they deserve the hearty sympathy and support of all classes of ultlxeun. They have the sincere Mipport of Gov. Chad wlck, who takes great Interest In tho welfare and Improvement of Deaf Mutes and tho llllud. Death of ExQov. Abernethy. Wo regret to announce the sudden death of ex-Gov. George Abernethy, which took place at his resilience, In Portland, yesterday afternoon, May 31, In the 70th year of his age. Gov. Aber- nethy was one of tho pioneers of Oregon, having come to tho coast In 1810, in connection with tho Methodist Mission. For many years ho was engaged in tho mercantile business at Oregon City, being head of tho firm of Abernethy, Clark & Co., with branches nt Oak Point (on the Columbia), and in San Francisco. Disasters by fire and flood eventually broke up tho company, and Gov. A. removed to Portland In 1803, wliero ho has since resided. In 1814, on tho formation of tho Pro visional Government of Oregon, by tho settlers of tho Territory, Mr. Abernethy was elected Governor of tho infant ter ritory, and was ro-elccted to tho same position, which ofilco he held until he was superseded by Gen. Lane, who pro ceeded to organize tho Territory under the act of Congress passed for that pur ops. The duties of the office wero performed by Gov. Abernethy with marked success, although his adminis tration was beset by many trying difllcultles with tho hostile Indians. As a husband, father nnd citizen, no man stood higher in the esteem of the publlo than tho deceased: He leaves a widow and two children to mourn his death Wm. Abernethy, of Portland, and Mrs. Hodges, wife of Col. H. C. Hodges, of the United States Army. DEAF-MUTE SCHOOL.
