The State Elections.

On Tuesday last elections were held in
Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylva>
MIA, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Mis-,
sissippi and Maryland. Every State
went Republican except Mississippi and
Maryland, the most of them BY over
whelming majorlt,es. New York makes
the best showing for the Democrats of
any of the Northern States. Cornell is
elected Governor by 10000 majority, but
the Democrats elect the balance of the
State ticket. The legislature is over
whelmlngly Republican. The Republi>
can majority in Wisconsin is about 25,-
600. The Republicans carry Pennsylva-
mia by over 10000 majority. The whole
Republican ticket is elected in Illinois.
Connecticut elects Republican leglala-
ture, and New Jersey the same. Ne
braska is Republican by $4,000 majority.
In Minnesota very little interest in the
election was manifested, and only about
half the voters took the. trouble to vote.
Pi'lsbury's majority is about $4,000, and
Gilman's majority is about $1,000. The
balance of the Republican ticket is elect
ed by about $4,000 majority. Massa>
chusetts IS Republican, and old Ben
Butter Is $4,000 behind.

Hearing through the Teeth.

From the t.'Paul Dispatch.
At the Indiana Institute for the
Deaf and Dumb, at Indianapolis, there
took place on Saturday of last week a
most interesting experiment. This
was test of the new audiphone, con-
veying sounds to the auditory nerve
through the medium of the teeth. A
class ofgirls, from twelve to eighteen
years old, entirely deaf and dumb,
were provided with audiphones, and
cabinet organ was brought in use for
the first time in the history of the in
stitution. A bright girl of ten or
twelve years was the first to whom the
test was applied. She had not heard
her own voice or distinguished sounds
for number Of years, says the Jour-
nal, and was regarded as stone deaf
and speechless. She had not listened
more than a minute when her features
lighted up with a smile that told the
whole story. Several other children
listened with like result, all being able
to distinguish some sound, and mcst
Of them following the different sounds
of the scale. Several deaf mutes also
noticed the difference between differ
ent letters of the alphabet. Only one,
an adult, whose auditory nerve seemed
to be quite destroyed, failed to hear
at all. A young lady who had not ut
tsred an Ineligible word since she
was quite young, was induced to speak.
She had been listening, with the aid
of her audiphone, to others talking,
but when asked to say something her:
self was very reluctant. Eventually,
however, she was induced to make the
effort, and although she spoke quite
low, being nervous and afraid to talk
loud, she heard her own voice dis
tinct ly. The joy which the young
lady felt at this glad discovery can be
imagined better than it can be de-
scribed. Mr.. Richard s. Rhodes, the
inventor, was present to superintend
the test.

A. number Of our Democratic ex>
changes declared that we were very
much in error last summer when we
declared that the action of the Demo-
Gratis in Congress was "unfortunate
and unwise, and detrimental to the in
terests of the Democratic party"
The St. Cloud Times even went so far
as to say that no intelligent Democrat,
even in our own county, believed any
such thing. We would be pleased to
know what the editors of these papers
think about it now.

Many persons are puzzled to under>
stand what the terms "fourpenny," !"
''sixpeuny," and "tenpeuny" mean as
applied to nails. "Fourpenny" means
four pounds to the Thousand nails :;
"sixpeuny" meaus six pounds to the
thousand, and SO on. It is an old
English term, and meant at first .'ten
pound" nails (the thousand being un>
derstood), but the old English clipped
it to 'tenpuu," and from that it degen>
Grated until penny" was substituted
for "pound." When a thousand nails
weigh less than one pound they are
called tacks, brads, etc. and are reck>
oned by ouncee.-Ex.

From the Anoka Union.
And now it is said that all the rub
Der hose belonging to our fire depart
ment is rotten and almost worthless.
Two sections burst while IN service
last Thursday, under very light
pressure. A critical examination
should be had, and If the hose prove
to be unfit for fire purposes, measures
should be instituted for the purchase
Of new.
The steamer filled the fire cistern on
court house square last week Thurs
day afternoon, but it was unable to
stand the immense pressure, hence a
leakage of three feet in about twenty
hours. 1t was pumped dry by the
steamer Friday afternoon, since when
it has been repaired. Two big cracks
on the bottom were discovered.
