Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts, did
not own real estate to the value Of
1000, as required by the Constitu-

before his election, when Mrs. Russell
transferred to him the deeds for
their residence in Cambridge. This
seems more like a buy-law than a

The political sensation of the week is the East Lyme probate decision, as it will be known, of Judge John M. Hall. The facts were that Bush, republican candi-
 date for probate, had on the face of the returns l96 votes, while Calkins, democrat, had 197. Bush made Q contest on the ground that there were live prohibition votes which had his nagne np0n them writ tan and pasted in. If appeared that the prohibitsen. ballots had the place for the candidate for judge of probate left blank, and.Jndge Hall decided that as there was no other name to be erased or to be pasted over, the ballots were void because the law makes no provision for the pasting in or ensure over blank ballot Consequently
 Bush's claim was rejected. This decision has no particular effect upon the questions
 which may be considered at the joint con. vention of the general assembly, but it is interesting to n6te the many ways in which the new ballot law works to the confusion of almost everybody concerned. There are at least 5000 ballots cast by democrats throughout the state in which the candi- date for judge of probate was either writ ten or pasted in over selank space These, the republicans claim, wonll be Jnst as much entitled to be thrown out as the ballots which were passed upon by Judge Hall. If these were to be thrown out f, r. this cause, the republican candidates for congress in the lst, 2d and 3d districts would be elected. There is, however, no serious intention of any contest on these lines, and these suggestions are only val uabie as showing what mixed up affair the new ballot law can make of any elec- tion. n.-Sprsnaeeld Repubtic0s.

The witneess was staggered, and flushed in the face blood red. The little prosecu- tor shrieked in shrill alto, accompanied by his colleague in sonorous bass, "Your Honor, object" Then the two raised a little babel, in which the words, "unseem- ly" and outrageous were mainly distin- guishable.
 ''Mr. Lincoln, said Judge Davis, "have you any special reason to use that lan- guage?"
 'I have, Your Honor," replied Lincoln.
 "Then," said the judge, s'you may pro- ceed with the question, and the witness must answer it, yes or no."
 MT. Lincoln repeated the question in the same calm, deliberate manner in which he had before propounded it. The witness choked and gasped, and when the judge calmly insisted again that he should ans- wer it,, he tainted.
 "Take him to the sherifrs room," said Judge Davis; adding sarcastically, "the weather is very sultry. The house is very close. The atmosphere is too much for the young man. Mr.. Clark, call the next case" Lincoln had resumed the writing of his brief, and when some of the witnesses came to him and asked him if they might go home, he answered that the case was over, ana those tnaI oio uot Waut to stay need not do so.
 He was right; the case was over. Short ly afterward Judge Davis, at the request of the prosecuting witness, was called into the sheritf's room, when the young man confessed that he himself threw the duck in at the church window. He said that he and the defendant had both been paying attention to the same girl, and he had been discarded In revenge for the triumph of his successful rival he had trumped up this charge, and, by the aid of confeder- ates, he had hoped to successfully sustain it ill court WashinQton Post.

Selection Deafness, insensibility to
 some sounds, consisting with normal sen.
 sibility to other sounds, is analogous to
 color blindness. A striking instance of it
 was presented by the late Edwin Cowles,
 of Cleveland, O., editor of the Cleveland
 Leader It is stated in the Medical Rec ord (189O, Nov.) that MT. Cowles never
 heard the sound of 3, bird singing, and that till he had grown to manhood he supposed that the s.singing of the birds" was fig. ufafive expression, as when we speak of the music of the spheres" "You may fill the room with canary birds" MT. Oowles once said, .sand they may all sing at once, but shall nothing of their song, but only the futtering of their wings. !" He never heard the hissing sound of the human voice to severa, of the consonant sounds he was deaf but heard all the vow els. About quarter of the sounds of the human voice in speech made no lmpres- sion on his sensorinm, ,sas khe had to watch the motion of the lips of G speaker, and to be guided by the thread of the discourse, in order to understand speech addressed to hila. sI have walked by the side of policeman going home at night" he said. never could hear it, although it could be heard by others h If mile away" He never heard the upper notes of the piano, violin, or other musical Instruments, though the lower notes were distinctly audible to him.

< New York Star: I was rather amused just on the eve of the last day of registra- tion to listen to some of the quaintianswers returned to the questions asked of appli cants in the court of common pleas before admission to citizenship. In many cases they were more amusing than stupid, and unconsciously contained no little truth, as when an Italian defined the business of an assemblyman as making money in Albany. The most amusing case of all, however, was that of an Irishman. He had answer ed every question correctly until the court asked:
 "Are you attached to republican form | of government ?" "Indeed, and I'm not" -. "But you must understand that except you are attached to this form of govern ment you cannot be naturalized. Why are you not favorably disposed to the re- publican form of government?"
 Because, your honor, I'm democrat. J When it was explained to him that there was wide difference between citizen of republic and member of the republican party he duly qualified.
