NIAGARA OF WORDS.
A litigant named Oliestnutt is deaf, but by no means dumb._ lu the county court of Exeter ally swept the Judge from the Bench by an intolerable torrent of words about some complicated grievance. ‘ ‘ Whoa! what! ” repeatedly cried the learned Judge as the man per--sistod in his address to the Bench. But the more the Judge cried “Whoa!” the more the Devonian babbled on. The ushers mildly protested, the public laughed, the legal practitioners wondered, and tlio Judge looked embarrassed. None could turn off the tap of Oliestnutt’s oratory. He was “deaf” to their entreaties. The officers of the court waved their arms when they had exhausted 1 the powers of their lungs. But the deaf man could neither hear his own voice nor theirs. . . “Whoa!” cried the despairing Judge again, rising from his seat. But Chestnutt still hold “the floor,” and the Judge saw only one course open to him —flight. Grasping the arms of his chair, he leant over to the reporters, delivered his judgment, aud then hurriedly left the court. The spectacle of an empty bench had the desired effect. Oliestnutt stopped talking amid silence that could be felt.
