4 CHEMISTS REvENGE-A truly scientific
revenge was recently effected by young
chemist in Venice, named Orlando Farnerini,
upon pair OF lovers whose mutual passion
bad disturbed the current of his own afiec-
tions. He loved young lady, but she loved
a young tailor better Orlando owed him
money for clothes, and sent him word that he
would pay him and make his hetrothed pres
ent if they would both come to bis labratory.
They accepted the invitation, and were polite.
ly received and slyly led in conversation to the
subject of electricity, about which he had
much To say. Both listened with astonishment.
and were quite delighted when the professor pro-
posed that they should allow themselves to be
electrified. He bade them give him their hands,
put the one pole OF Rumk"rf apparatus be-
tween the girls fingers. and the other into the
tailor's hand, and then. joined the currents A
terrible cry broke from the lovers they fell to
the ground in convnlsive fits: then got up
again in the greatest torment, but Farnerin
only laughed. The two wretched beings drew
the apparatus after them, tumbled over the
furniture, and almost broke their limbs in
their frantic efforts to rid themselves of the
mighty current, but in FIVE minutes they had
become two distorted corpses. Then, and only
then, Farnerini stopped the electric fluid, and
went to report the matter to the police. which
he did with the greatest sang froid possible.

WIGFALL AND BROOKES.
"REMINISCENCES OF ANCIENT DAYS IN SOUTH cAaoL1s


baltimore Letter to New York SUM-
Louis Wigtall. native of South Carolina,
and long Senator from Texas, is practising
law in this city. He is man of great origin
alfy, aplomb, quaintness and force of talk He
is very earnestly for Mr. Greeley, and it is
Thought may be sent to the South to stump
such parts as have received the infiction of
Ioombs and Wise. 1t is very entertaining to
hear Wigfall discuss Southern things The old
man loves to revive the earlier scenes of his
life, when he lived in the Edgefield district of
South Carolina, and made his great contention
with the powerful family of the Brookes The
Brookes family had great numbers of negroes
and broad acres, and were Il sort of heredita
ry 0tlce.ketpers in the Edgefeld district
They desplsed CalhOun-n0t for bis opinions
but because he could command the attention
"f the country without wealth such as theirs.
Wlgfall being the henchman of Calhoun, in
Edgetleld. the elder Br0OkeS said some mean
things about him, at which Wigfal sent him
notice that he meant to post him at the Court
House door, and would spend three hours in
defending the posting. In the Southern style.
therefore, Wigtall denounced old Brookes as
liar, &c, and waited, with small arsenel, tor
somebody to knock chip off his shoulder,
taking his liquor in the meantime as he had
been doing for the greater part of his days
In due time along came couple of nephews
OF old Brookes to tear down the bill, when
there was an instant explosion of percussion
caps. and one Brookcs was killed and another
badly wounded. This led to challenge to
Louis Wigfall from Preston S Brookes (the
future castigator of Chas. Snmner). son of the
old mar, and they met. and at the first fire
both were slightly wounded, and al the srcsnd
fire both dangerously wounded. Before Pres
ton S Brookes died he acknowledged the in
justice of his family towards Wigfal, and sent
nephew "t tha latter to the Naval academy.
These old and ruined rebels are queer objects
IN existing society, and their stories and le-
gends are listened to as If Capt. Kidd or six
teen String Jack were to come out of the grave

GUY FAwKEs' DAY.-An English
journal calls attention to the fact that
the presidential election in the United
States this year occurs on the ami
versary of the discovery of the mem
orable gunpowoer plot to blow up the
British parliament, which was made
November 5, 1905, so that America
and Great Britain will, for once in
their modern history, have a common
anniversary of political significance.
While we are choosing new ruler,
some of our cousins on the other side
of the water will be celebrating the
deliverance of their king, lords and
commons from plot designed to blow
them all into eternity. ~

HIS REQUEST. Horatio Seymour is
certainly reasonable. He says that
when Mr.. Greeley is elected and gets
TO Washington, all we ask is for him
to show that we do not want any cx-
posure for vindictive purposes but
only tor direction in the future. We
used to say there was something
wrong in New York, and we were
right. So we say there is something
wrong in Washington, and we demand
to see the books. If this great reform
movement shall result in laying bare
all the corruption and wrong of the
present administration, so that the
morals of the nation shall be improv-
ed, il will be well for the whole people.

Three separate gangs of repeaters

Of these gangs there are eighty-soven

There are several United States cleo

but the people have been 50 long accus-
toned to listen to Governor Warmoth and
General Sheridan that they have, perhaps,
become fastidious.
The several speakers from the balcony
failed to arouse much enthusiasm. There
was a good deal of merriment, good
hunlor and fnattention. The lively music,
the gay banners, some of which were as
handsome as one Of Moody's best Dolly
Warden shirts, and the flashing torches,
presented more attractions for the boys
than the phosphorescent eloquence Of a
Booth or a Waggaman.
Had the meeting been held in Lafayette
square it would hardly be called respecta-
BILE in numbers, whatever it may have been
in personnel; and take from it those who
had no sympathy with the real objects,
the Republicans, the Liberals, the usual
promenaders on Canal Street, the ladies
and the young boys yet'in their teens, and
it would not be called remarkable for
either anywhere. It needed all heapolo-
gies we heard urged in its behalf by partial
friends, who pleaded that the 'caI was
too sudden to bring many people out. 1t
looked 70 US like a very thin affair for a
party that claims to be the whole people Of

Of the people were there, and that is about
the strength Of the Last-Ditehers.

costs and charges hereafter. They are
obstructing the work Of progress to-day
just as they obstructed it for ten years.
Aud we give the people warning now. as
we gave it to them four years ago, that if
they do not cease to follow these obstruc-
tionists they will have topay the damages.
For ten years the same men that are now
following the guidance Of the Young
Mems Democratic Club. which is but the
echo Of the lobby, have been misled and
betrayed into false movements by such
men as Lasere and Randolph. We gave
them good advice and they rejected it
we give it to them again, and expect some
better result, since they have had large
experience in adversely by rejecting our
suggestions.
The balancing of the books is concluded.
The accounts are made out. The debts
and credits fairly footed up. We claim
the balance due. Now, we propose to
open q new account 1t will embrace the
charges against the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club; and let the members. rest as
sured that we intend to hold them to a
strict payment. The evil that they per-
versely do shall be charged to their ac-
count. They shall be defeated this year,
and then defeat shall overwhelm them

RATIPICATION MBBTINe LAgT NIaHT

RATIFICATION MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Whatever may be claimed on the score
Of sincerity of the Last-Ditchers, it is
evident that they do not pan out very
abundantly at mass meeting. The we'll
advertised call in the name of the De-
mocraey for a Greeley and Brown ratifca-
ton meeting last night at the Varieties
Theatre, was responded to by enough to
nearly ELL the house, which viii seat about
sixteen hundred, and probably one thou
sand more for the audience in front. But
these numbers include prodigious num-
Der of young lads, who turned out to see
the fun, large number of Liberals and
Republicans who were present out of
curiosity to see who the Last-Ditchers are,
and some ladies who happened to be on
Canal street, and were attracted by the
music, the torches, and the banners.
Probably five hundred Of the crowd were
square out-and-out Last itchers, who will
vote the Lasere-Randolph ticket, ifnothing
more TO their liking turns up before the
election.
The speaking was mediocre. We heard
many expressions Of disappointment at the
effort of Colonel McEnery. He did not by
any means come up to public expectation;
