A German journal gives the following account of
what it designates Of those wonders in which
electrical chemistry is SO fertile.
A pupil Of Berzenes, who occupying himself
in Sweden with galvanic gliding, having used in his
apparatus the skin of a sheep, on which there was
some of the wool remaining, perceived that it became
partially covered with the gold. Struck with the in
cident, he followed up the idea it suggested, and in
time produced an entire golden fleece preserving the
wool in its original aud natural state to texture and
fexiby. Living in village, the young sarau
showed the wonderful production to his neighbors !;
but the fanatca and Ignorant peasants regarding him
as practser of the black art attacked his aborato-
ny, broke all his untenss to pieces, and compelled
him to y with his fleece to Upsal where he was re-
ceved with kindness and consideration by the mem
bers of the University, who, by subscription, not
only supplied him with the means of subsistence, but
established laboratory for him, and aided him
in applying his new discovery to the manufacture
Of woollen cloth We may therefore expect to
have shortly, clothes of gold, silver, and platina
which will entirely supersedc our present gold lace
and embroidery.
"a NJ Isenrg, too, a painter, living at Vunich,
has announced in the Augsburg Gazette that he has
discovered process, whereby, through tie Daguer-
reotype, he depict all the objects Of nature,
with the brancy of the colors, so as to bear com
parison with the finished productions Of the first ar
fists.
And We learn from the same source, that crcum-
stance occurred lately to Mdme. Cluii Damoreau, al
Baden, where she was giving concerts, which
cited some sensation. She was, with some friends,
visiting the dungeons and subterranean passages of
the Chateau, when of the party pushed by acci-
dent huge open door, formed Of a single block OF
stone, which shut Immediately. The guide uttered
loud cry, and the horror Of the party may be con-
ceNed, when they learnt that the door opened only
on the side II only at the end of four hours I'M
easness that they were delivered by another guide
who was conducting fresh party Of visiters.-Lon

THE DISHONESTY OF THE CooNs.

At a meeting in Ncwburyport, on Thursday night
the Herald says Mr. Gushing "vindicated the Presi-
dent from the charges of perfdy and vacillatior
with which he had been assaulted, and from the state
ment of notorious facts and documentary evidence
proved that the perfdy had been the part Of the
ultra Wing leaders at Washington, who sought to de-
ceye and trick both the President and the people on
the subject of National Bank. lie dwet on the
fact that the project of bank studiously kept
out of sight dscaimed 10y all nearly all the
sembages during the canvass, and, among many 9th
ers, mentioned the fact which had recently come to
his knowledge, that at the very convention at which
he himself nominated for Congress, paragraph
in the original draft of the address to the people,
making the bank of the issues of the Wing party
was struck out before the address was adopted"

CLAY WING ABUSE.

The New York Express, speaking Of MIR
Marshall of Kentucky, says:
"Mr. Marshall may be gain to the Loco Focos, il
he has seeded but he be but of little loss to the
Wings. He is man of great genus, but there is
not ballast enough about him to balance his flights
His wings need clipping, and his imagination wants
pruning. He has more fancy than reason, and more
vanity than good sense. lie will never make wise
statesman, practical legislator, ayaluble politi
cian He will kick at every party, and by and by
politically destroy himself We shall not be sorry to
learn from better authority that he has left the Wing
party, poor the reason may be which prompts him
to the act.

LETTER FROM CAPT. STODDARD TO THE
SECRETARY OF STATE.

New YORK, Nov. LIST, 1912.
SIR had the honor to receive, on my arrival yes
terday your favor Of the 18th August last accompa
ned by an elegant medal from Her Majesty's Gov
eminent, in acknowledgment for my services in saw
ing the crew of the Britannia.
l need not attempt to express the deep of
qualification which the presentation affords me-a
sentiment heightened only by the reflection, that it
Is designed 10 commemorate a service which was at
the same time impulse Of my heart, and in behalf
of humanity. The pleasure arising from conscious
discharge Of duty is capable of addition only from
the appreciation Of our feow-men; and am sure
shall need no further incentive to effort in the
which has called forth this testimonial than the
tainty it affords that it is sure to follow the consum
nation of every generous action.
pray you, sir, to tender for to her Najesty's
Government my sincere thanks for, and my high APP
probation Of, the valuable gift.
Towards YOURSELF also, | beg to express the sense
of my personal respect, and the regard entertain
for the very hatering manner in which you have
been pleased to convey to me the duty entrusted to
your care.
Respectfully, your obedient
And obliged servant,
| (Sgned) CHARLES STODDARD.

Mr.. Brooks, or some one for him, very testify
Treaty, or would have voted for it had he been
in the Senate.
He takes occasion, too, TO be little mpudent
in his denial, which, however, we will try and
survive.
We give the article from the Express, TO
which he referred
Mr.. b. should remember what he says better.
"The Courier has the following article upon the
proposed dinner to Mr. Webster: We have been
shown letter signed by all, nearly ALL the promi-
nent merchants in our city, rendering to Mr.. Web
ster public dinner in this city, This compliment is
placed distinctly the ground of his fundamentally
in negotiating the late Treaty with England and his
general administration Of our Foreign affairs.
Z" This is all right and although we differ in regard
to the Treaty, being the best that could have been
produced we have approved Of the admins
iration of the State Department by Mr.. Webster.
The proposed compliment, therefore, is very justly
his due and we cannot well perceive how any Ddi-
vidual who united in the .ishbTten dinner prop
erly refuse TO participate in this. If Lord Ashbur
ton deserved public dinner for what he conceded in
the treaty then is Webster doubly entitled to sim
ilar testimonial from the same gentlemen, for what
! he succeeded in compelling or inducing Lord Ash
burton To yield. Whatever may be our opinion OF
the treaty. and it certainly is not favorable, have
already said that if we had been in the Senate, we
should have voted in favor of its ratification. But
New Workers have no option; common justice COM
pes them to extend the same compliment to Mr.
Webster, which they have already bestowed upon
Lord Ashburton; for beyond all doubt, and Mr.
Spencer TO the contrary, Notwithstanding, if the Bri
fish negotiator deserves thanks for his conces-
sons, they are doubly due to Daniel Webster, who
is also entitled to the credit of that negotiation"
The first paragraph seems to be quotation
from that other {" learned ThebaD," the editor o.
the Courier and Enquirer, the latter we suppose
10 be Mr.. Brooks comments on that quotation
beginning ''Ths is all right"
If we are mistaken, we take it back, and Mr.
Brooks need not go 10 Congress il he don'twan
TO, and Mr. Websier's ruiz shall be charged Il
Mr.. Webb.

DISTRESSING SHIPWRECk-LOSS OF THE
FRENCH SHIP LEOPOLDINA ROSA.

The loss Of this vessel has already been noticed
We copy from Hayre paper the particulars Oh this
terrible disaster:
The Leopoldna Rosa left Bayonne early IN May
for Montevideo having board, besides her captain
and crew, 1903 passengers men, women, ana chidreh'
nearly all industrious emigrants from the basque
country. When approaching her destination, uie
vessel assaed by severe storm, ana during ,'c
night was thrown OF the reefs called the Gas
tllos on the eastern coast of Urugay, at distance
of about 40 leagues from Montevdeo. At daylight
Captain Frappaz desired sailor, who was goou
swimmer TO take small rope to the shore tied 10
his body, with the intention, when he landed, OF
drawing to him cable, attached to the other end,
but the man refused did also all the other sailors
who were applied to, although more than 300 pas
sengers might have been saved by this act OF cou-
rage.
Al length the crew, with the exception oil only
three men, made arrangements for their own safety
by of spars, Sc, leaving the captain the heu-
tenant the doctor, The steward and all The passeh-
gers, TO their fate Thus abandoned and taking
counsel only from despair, the most vigorous threw
themselves into the sea, but they were nearly all
dashed against the rocks and drowned. Most OF
| those who remained on DO I'd either deferred
| from following the example of those who had pung-
ed into the sea, by seeing assembled there an I'm
mense number Of those wretches the Gaucbos, who
watch the wrecks the for the purpose OF phi

they were parents whose feelings would not allow
them to abandon their offspring. During the whole
of the terrible day the Leopodna resisted the Jury
of the waves but towards o'clock in the afternoon
the stern gave way, and separated from the BODY
of the We sci. Two hundred and thirty-onc passen-
gers persisted seventy three escaped by miracle.

We have seen letter from an intelligent gen
Clay's Barbecue meeting. The number pre-
sent as estimated by men of different political
sentiments amounted to nearly three thousand,
about equally divided in three portions, viz: Dem

sentiments of the children, unfortunately were
unknown, as they had not "defned their posi-
tion." They seemed, however, TO enjoy the
scene much, and the gingerbread more The
