EDITORIAL NOTES.
FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.

during tho next two years sngross, 9
moro attention here just now than
any other. The Republicans OF tho
Legislature have very generally sign
ell . petition asking the appointment
OF General Bentliff, OF Janesvills, on.
or the impression, to some extent
1t least, that the choice lay between
Gen. B. aud the present incumbent,
Dana G Lamb. Tho incorrcctness
Of that impression WAS shown, how
yer, On Tuesday. when Governor
Smith sent to the Senate for confir.
nation, the name Of Gen. J. NJ. Rusk.
The Senators we're greatly surprised
aud disappointed, an1 manifested a
disposition against confirmation, that
even the messenger boys cou d not
misunderstood. The course adopted
was to refer the nomination to the
committee on state affairs, VIII CHI
committee is understood to be- unan.
lmously opposed to Rusk, instead Of
10 tho Railroad Committee, whose
sentiments on the question were not
so well known. AS yet no report
has been made, and thus ut present
hs matter rests. Rumor says Rusk's
name will he Withdrawn to save re-
lection Ivy the Senate; but some who
are supposed to be in executive con.
Adence, intimated that such would
not be- the case; that tho name will
not he withdrawn, and the Senate
compelled to either confirm or refuse
to do so. Should the appointment
Of Rusk mi>carry for any cause, It is
hardly reasonable to suppose that
the Governor will 50 far deter to the
wishes of the Senators as to name
their favorite, Bintlitf, but will more
likely select some one not yet dis
rnssed. IL that event, it is suggested
by gentlemen from the 3D. Congress
sional district, that Col. John G. Clark
ought to be considered. Should the
complication result in the selection
Of so good mrn as Col c. the peo-
pie certainly will never have cause
to regret it.

who was living there at the time, in pos
session. After his removal to Boston, he
heard nothing of his White Mountain es-
tate for several years. One summer, as he
journeyed northward with his wife, in
quest of recreation, lie resolved to turn
aside from the travelled road to ascertain
the true condition of his property. He
found very miserable hut upon it, oc
cupied by an aged woman as the only
tenant of his farm He asked for IL glass
of water, which was readily served in II
tin dipper. lie then began to make inqui-
ries about her prosperity, and the present
condition of things around her. She said
that she dad not own the farm, but tn it
belonged to IL lawyer down in Boston by
the name Of Webster.

WHY COLoRs CANNOT BE PHOTOGRAPH
ED.-It is now universally admitted by
chemists and physicists that natural colors
can never be reproduced by the process of
photography. There is broad philosophi-
cal reason for this belief. Color has no
objective existence. 1t is simply the brains
Interpretation of the rapdity with which
the waves of the ray of light beat against
the retina. Beats more rapid produce the
sensation of the mind known rs red. The
violet and red are nothing but the vibra-
tions of the other until they reach the optic
nerve and communicate to that the vibra-
tions which the brain translates. Until
or some other sensitive agent,
can be made to vibrate like the optic nerve
and can be endowed with intelligence like
the brain, the undulations that fall upon it
in ray of light will remain undulations
and nothing more. In other words, it is
as impossible to photograph colors as
sound.-N. Y. San.
