Railway Officials and Pigs.

Count Baranof, Imperial Commissary
of Railways In southern Russia, while
on q recent tour Of inspection over the
Lessov.Sebsstopol line, In the Crimea,
heard complaints from all classes of the
inhabitants. At one particular station
q strangely worded protest was addressed
TO him by the spokesman of a group of
landowners. eve cannot" vociferated

protest which, until Its true grounds

A Remarkable Case.

A San Francisco printer, who had been
deaf for thirty years, now hears a. well
a. anybody. Seven weeks ago he was
troubled with pains in his head while he
was setting type. He described these
symptoms to his physician, who, having
long made . speciality of parsly tic
diseases, conceived the idea that
the deafness of his patient might
be the result of paralysis. The
printer refused to be treated, saying that
he had spent all the money he had ever
earned in useless endeavors to have his
deafness cured, and did not care TO make
any further attempts in that direction.
But when the doctor offered to treat him
six months, II necessary, free of charge,
he consented to the proposition. A
species of liniment was applied TO hif
throat and cars. He was given Q mixture
for gargling, and supplied with little
medicine for internal use. This couree
of treatment was continued for two or
three days before any effect became ap-
parent. Previous to this time he had
been 20 deaf that the discharge of q
cannon within q few feet of him did not
disturb him. One morning he was
awakened BY q ssund-the first he had
heard for thirty years. He was delirious
with Joy. He dressed himself, kissed
the landlady, shook hands with the
landlord and slapped his fellow-boarders
on the shoulder. 1t was some time
before he could explain the cause of his
ecstasy. He pointed to his ears. He
tried to speak, but the organs of speech,
inactive for 90 many years, could not do
his bidding. At last he made himself
to the amazed bystanders,
and they knew that his noisy rejoicing
was occasioned By partial restoration
Of his hearing. Since that time the
physician has continued his wonderful
and the deafness of his
patient il gradually disappearing.

THE VIRGINIA STATE CONVENTION.

THE VIRGINIA STATE CONVENTION.
The result of the Virginia Republican
convention does not bring with it any ma
terial disappointment after days observa-
tion ofits doings. The sentiment in regard
to the Presidency was preponderatingly
in favor of General GRANT, as the in
structions to the delegation to Chicago
indicate. The only real division Of SEN
timent in the convention was in re-
gard to the expediency and inexpedi-
ency of placing an electoral ticket in the
field by this convention. No one seemed to
desire that any other than reliable Re-
publican should be placed on the electoral
ticket. There was no division ON that
point. The convention, however, was about
equally divided on the question of an inn
mediate or n deferred electoral nomination,
and it was over that one point that three
days of incessant wrangling, under much
ill-blood, occurred TO mar the harmony and
weaken the moral power of the convention
in its future influence upon the Republican
masses Of the State. The immediate-ti ticket
portion triumphed, and an electoral ticket
was nominated. This ends that question,
and as there is no appeal, it is the part of
wisdom and duty to yield gracefully to the
result.
We hope that the wisest and best
policy has prevailed, but we cannot
under existing circumstances resist the
conviction that n possible and very
serious mistake has been made i'll this ac-
ton. However, time, which is the arbiter
of all such matters, will solve this question,
and we are disposed to hold our judgment
on this point in suspense until the logic OF
events shall confirm or upset the theory
which has given strength to our candid
convictions. We have no purpose to ar
raign the motives of those who differ with
us in opinion on the point at issue, beiev-
ing as we do that they were candid in their
view of the question, and for that reason
we are confident if future events shall show
that they have been betrayed into an error
of judgment they will regret it quite as
heartily as we possibly can. If, on thC
other hand, the wisdom of the course that
has prevailed is vindicated in the future
history of this case, then we shall yield t.
none in the satisfaction that is felt over tn,
result. Hoping that all will end well, w
leave the matter for the present, as no pos
} sible good can come of its further discus
sion.
