Jones and the deaf asylum visit ends in laughter
A Denton Journal item recounts Jones inspecting a deaf and dumb asylum. Miscommunication leads to frustration until a patient and the attendant clarify the scene and shake hands. Jones resolves to use his tongue first in future encounters. The column also recalls La Nouvelle Revue anecdotes about Prince de Joinville and Lola Montez, and a West Virginia preacher tale about a responsive congregant.
