Boston Correspondent of the New York Sun: It is just half a century since the popular heart of the country lirst went out in pity toward one who has ever since been regarded as the most afllicted of human kind. Miss Bridgman is now a woman of fifty-seven ye i makes her home for the greater part of each year at the Perkins institution for the blind, where shoe first received in- struction’fifty years ago in the use of lan- guage from the late Dr. Howe. In form and feature she is not unlike many women of her age, excent that a rare delicacy of organization,both mental and physical, impresses every one who meets her. Although not robust, she isseldom ill, and her health is probably as good as that of most ladies of her age. She dresses plainly, and her appearance in this respect is best described us old- fashioned. The question always asked first by any one who has not heard the story of Laurs Bridgman’s life is, how was the first idea of word and language con- verted to her mind? Miss Bridgman’s inlirmities date from the second year ot her childhood. A severe attack of scar- lot fever destroyed the four scnses of sight, hearing, “taste and smoll. Her sickness continued fornearly six months, and it complet wiped out all memory of her early infan Aside from this circumstance in her case, itis said to be a fact by competent investigators that no case is known of a person. who can trace anything in memory back of the second year of infanc So in Laura'’s case there never has beeu the faintest recol- lection of the use of the two chief sanses which she lost, In much thatshe says and writes she often refers to the beau- ties of light and sound, cspecially of the former, but she has no adequate concep- tion of either, How can she have? How can it be possible to convey in words even a vague impression of the beauties of a landscape to 8 mind which cannot do more than diml{v wonder what the at principle of light m lg! Or how can any idea oa&raud harmony be brought to one wh nly conception of sound must be gained by the trembling of the floor under a friend’s footstep, or the concnssion of ‘air following a cannon- shot? A great deal of paticnce was re- quired to tegeh Laura the rudiments of word signa.” It'was accomplished by at- taching to every article in common use 1ts name in ggagad letters. Having mas- tered that i%;phn readily learned the i deaf-and-du) nger alphabet signs for the same Objdcts, and thereafter her progress was remarkably rapid. Bcientifically considered, Miss Bridg- man's case” ents many interesting features bearing upon the uegree of skill which the trpining of a mn?lo facult will develope. The senses of smell and taste have in some degree returned to her. She can detect pungent odors, and knows the difforence by taste be‘ween articles of food which are dissimilar, but neither sense is a source of pleasure or much profit to her. The destruction of hearing and sight was so complete that ear-drums nnh eyeballs are gone, the latter removed by operation some time after her illness in order to stop pain and inflammation. The sense of touch which remains to her hasreached a much higher degree of cultivation and percep- tive power than was ever attained in another human bemng. By sense of touch alone, which interprets the waves of air upon her tace, she can tell in walkin, on the street. wheiher buildings abu Manutacturer, of Galvanized Iroa and Cornl Dodge and 108 and 108 N, 10th st.
