a Few words abeas Plauehette.

We heard o few days since that a lady
residing in the western section of the
city had suddenly become derangeA,
and it is said that 1t was brought on
BY the frequent use of what is popu-
larly known rs "Planchett," or, other
wise, "Little Board" She had pur-
chased, several weeks previous, to the
sal occurrence, one Of those little in
struments for the use of her family,
using it frequently herself, and was
superstitious enough to believe in its
workings. The lady was at the
time Of the occurrence, about q
month ago, in delicate health and has
been so fer months. She was also lit
tie deaf and of quite anervous temper
ament, but beyond this no. one would
see anything in her demeanor or dispo-
sition that would for q moment cause
them to think her to be other than q
sane person. A member of the family
attributes her insanity to the use Of
Planchette," and an eminent physi-
clan, who has seen the lady We speak OF,
suppsscs the effects of it's working on q
nervous temper had something to do
with deranging her mind. The lady in
question was conveyed to)fhe asylum
some weeks since.

Meeting of Working Wen and Foreign
Born Citizens.

At meeting of the foreign born citi-
zens and laboring men employed by
Corporations, held in the city of Par
kersburg on Monday evening, August
Sd, 1865, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS, BY an amendment OF the
registration laws Of this State, passed
by the Legislature on the 2Sth OF July,
1863, which has for its object the plain
purpose and intention to legislate
against the rights of the laboring man,
and the foreign born citizens OF this
State, therefore
ResoIred, That we, as naturalized cit
izens of the United States, are entitled
to all the rights, privileges and fran
chises of American citizenship. And
we deny the right of the Radical party
of West Virginia to make legislative
enactments, discriminating against the
character of labor, which the necessi.
ties of the working man, whether ma
tive or foreign born, may compel him to
take and we see in the effort, not only
an attempt to deprive our foreign
born citizens of the franchise and
rights guaranteed to them by the COnsti-
tuition, but also an attempt to interfere
with the rights and interests of the Ia.
boring men of our State, and we call
upon all working men, of every nation,
to stand firmly with US in the defence
of our rights, and in defeating this In
sidious attempt to introduce into the
Legislation Of the country clauses dis
eliminating against that labor which
developes our country, builds and
works our manufactures, extends oul
lines of internal improvement, and
gives to the State its only solid founda-
tion for wealth and prosperity.
Resolred, That as law abiding and
peaceful citizens, it is our duty to sub
init to all laws, however unjust, until
they are either repealed or decided to
be illegal, and that we appeal to the
Registrars in executing the law referred
to, to do so with that fairness and sense
of right aud justice, which will render
it least arbitrary and unjust in its ef'
fects.
Resolred, That copy of these pro-
ceedings be furnished to foreign born
citizens and working men of each
county and that we earnestly ask theil
CO o-operation in the effort to secure oul
rights.-That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Gazette

Impeucbers aud Assassiss.

Some time ago, the President OF the
United States congratulated the Em-
peror OF Russia on his escape from
assassination; now, the Emperor OF
Russia returns the compliment, and
conyratulstes the President on his
escape from the impeachers. The
assassiss ut Washington were as reck-
less and much more cowardly, than the
man who shot at the Russian Emperor
in Paris.

In the fall of 1867, Mr.. THOMAS, of
Maryland, who had committed no act of
rebellion, was denied his seat in the
Senate for disloyalty, because. he had
given his rebel son Sl00 pocket money.
In the summer of 1868, SAWYER. of South
Carolina, asked for admission into the
same body. He had been an officer
under the rebel Government; for three
years he had been engaged in running
the blockade in the service of the Con-
federatc States, and this man was adj
mitted.

"A Cordial Invitation.o

The Intelligeacer, after vilifying the
Democratic party of this county and
State with the choicest epithets in the
vocabulary of Billingsgate, now wants
the presence Of Democrats to make a
respectable crowd at the Grunt and
Grabtax ratification meeting tonight.
1t extends to them "a cordial invita-
ton" We have amended its "invita-
tion" with few explanatory words
taken from the Intelligeacer's descrip-
ton of West Virginia Democrats:
To our political opponents Drunk
en-, rowdyisk, reckless, rascally and dis
loyal rebels and ruffians) cordial invi-
tation is extended to be present. and
hear what our eloquent advocates may
have to say in behalf of Grant and
Peace, and i'm behalf of that noble dec
laration Of principles upon which the
one il to be elected and the other Sc
cured. Come out gentlemen, on the
other side drunken, rowdyish, reck.
less and disloyal rebels and ruiiiaDs),
and if We do you no good We shall do
you no harm.
The Inteiligeacer also wants the wives
and daughters of these drunken, row.
dyish, reckless, rascally and disloyal
Democrats" to hear the woman hanger
and the man who advocated negro
equality in Ohio last Fall. Here is its
invitation interpreted in its own words:
To the ladies of all political faiths,
Gncludiug the mothers, sisters, wives
and daughters of the drunken, rowdy-
ish, reckless, rascally and disloyal rebels
aud ruilians,) the managing committee
Of the Central Grant Club, extends o
special invitation. Come out and grace
the occasion with your beauty and lend
the speakers the inspiration of yOIr
SMILES. Though the lords of creation
deny you the ballot they can't deprive
you (wives, daughters, mothers aud
sisters of drunken, rowdyish, reckless,
rascally and disloyal rebels and ruff
ans) of an intelligent interest in the
political problems of the day; and
though they claim to be the sovereigns,
we know there is often y power behind
the throne greater Than the throne it,
self. Come and hear the pleading of
eloquent tongues speaking in behalf of
the Great Soldier, whe, il ever it was
true that "nOne but the brave deserve
the fair" (relatiyes ofDemocratic drum
ken, rebels, ruflians and rascals,) de-
serves your presence at Washington
Hall tCAmOrrOw night.

The wold loyal as used in Congress

fourth place it admits all men in the

The youth of our streets have also
been under the delusion that it was
spring, and kites which come in with
early shad have just broken out, and
broken loose in their usual abundance.
My staid and venerable friend o.
Leander is greatly disturbed by what
he calls the kite nuisance, and has been
to see me twice with view of inaugu-
rating a movement for its suppression.
"Look," said he, "at our beautiful
shade trees, the branches of nearly every
one of them in my neighborhood are
decorated with dilapidated kites, and
disreputable kite tails. If this thing
keeps on what will the city look like
t. Something ought to be done.' Ea9am
Our Themistocles, who spends all his
pocket-money in kites and contributes
on the average two kites day to the
adornment of the shade trees, takes: a
different view of the case. He looks
upon trees as a delusion and snare for
kites, and thinks they ought not to be
left out in the streets during the kite
season.
He cherishes strong sense of per
sonal injury against the shade trees, and
if his immature ideas were put in shape
by practical wisdom, he would make out
a bill of damages against the city fol
maintaining obstructious on the thor
oughfares inimical to kites. .@... .-4.
The bill would read something like
this:
! City of Brooklyn.
To T. O'Lanus. DR..
10 t rec balls Of twine q Is cents. A
To l25 yards of tail.
Total .....-..-.........-. 80
Estimating twenty thousand boys il
the city in the kite flying business, the
aggregate loss during this season is quite
sum.
But I understand that this is not cir
cumstance to the money lost in Wal
street in kite flying among those playful
animals the bulls and bears.
Their kites are made of promissorJ
notes and flourish very long tails. They
go up very high and take the greenhorn
on the string up with them. l have Otter
seen it announced that somebody in Wal
street had "gone up" and the experience
of their. creditors is that they seldom
s'come down" afterwards.
