f(sensva letter 20 the London Times'I
According "a the {" Almanach de Ia Suisse
Romandc - French and Itallan-speaking
Switzerlard,, the family Of the late Leon
Gambeft. Is Of Swiss origin. To thc west
OF Lccyrno, II says, after passing La Mag
gia, . small village Of the name OF lntragna
e encountered. 1t stands on promon.
tory between the Valleys OF Centcvalli and
lspscrnone. The houses comprising II are
entirely hidden in a grove OF chestnut trees,
above which rises, like huge chimney,
the tower OF the village church. The fact
OF the people Of Intragna being nearly all
chimney-swccper II supposed to account
for the peculiar style OF architecture they
have thought 1T to adopt. A chimney Is
their ideal of beauty. The boys OF the
village, equipped with sacks and brush
es. wander all over the country
plying their traditional calling. Nearly
100 years ago, so runs the legend, little
fellow of the name OF Gambetta. belong
ing TO a family that still exists and sweeps
chimneys ut Intragna, went as far south a.
Genoa, and there remained. Instead OF
returning 20 his village In the spring. IKE
the other lads Of the village, he settled on
the shores OF the Ligurin sea and set
up rs a master sweep. Being OF an en-
terprising disposition and careful habits,
things prospered with him. and In the
course OF time he forsook the sweeping OF
chimneys for the paths OF commerce. ihe ,
he married, and in after years one OF ms
sons betook himself TO Cahers, where he
became the father Of that Gambetta whose
son, after playing SO important part IN
the affairs OF France, died the other day at
Vile d'Avray, and is mouincd by NIL
lions Of Frencsmen. The people OF In
tragns are so firmly convinced OF lhe
truth of this legend that when Gam
beta became the Prime Minister OF France
they sent deputation TO Paris to congratll-
late the cbimney-sweep's grandson on his
good fortune. and they took il very much
to heart that the ex-Dictator refused to re-
ceive them. They are, Notwithstanding,
none the less convinced that Leon Gam
beta. or. at any rate, his grcat-grandfather
was neither q Jew nor Genoese, but
true Swiss.

Gladstone and seaconsHcid.
fLonflnn Lnncet.I


All who have watched the brilliant ca
reer Of Mr.. Gladstone, particularly during
fbe last twenty years, must be conscious OF
The fact that even his excellent "constltu-
tion VII we NAV be permitted to use that
banned but expressive term-has been
often severely tried by the vigor OF his
brain and nerve power. To the physiol-
orist who recognizes the INTERROGATION OF
those parts OF the being which some Try
to separate and speak OF part as "mind"
and "body," the study OF such lives as
those OF Mr.. Gladstone and the late Lord
Beaconsfield comparatively with the ideal
standard OF perfect humanity is intensely
Interesting, Lord Beaconsfeld had 4 vigor-
OILS but not thoroughly cultured brain.
The development of his cerebral and
nervous organism was not, so to say,
general and equal throughout. lie
had excellent parts and extraordinary
intellectual iervor, with strong VIII
and an immense power OF seli-restrant,
but il is no disparagement OF the noble
Lords physico-mental organism to chronl-
Gle the physiological fact that his brain
hacked. and not unfrequently gave unmls-
taxable evidence OF lacking, that high. CO.
berent development which is only TO
be obtained by early and persistent
mental discipline and culture. He was
rather brilliant than grand, as studied
from psychological standpoint, and twas
a physiological consequence OF his brain
type that his policy was one rather OF fine
ness and dazzling energy than of persistent
growth of purpose. Mr.. Gladstone, on the
other hand, is possessed Of brain which has
been physiologically developed by training
and exercise commenced in youth and con-
tinued far into adult life, with an intense
struggle for self-improvementb by intellectual
discipline and industry, and his mind and
nerve power are supported by very con-
siderable amount OF sensory and muscular
strength and energy. The perils OF his life
have ever been those Of overwork" in its
truest sense. Brain function has frequently
outstripped bodily strength, and il his con-
stitution-we again dare to use this word
for want of better-had been little less
strong, il the recuperative power OF the
organism as a whole had been only a
little less considerable, the right honor
able gentleman must, on several Oc-
casions, have broken down. The So
called irritability" of temperament which
Mr.. Gladstone has in some OF his most try
ing sessions been observed to eyince has
been the outcome OF an over-active rather
than weak nervous system. II it were
possible the right honorable gentleman
would even now exhaust his reserve OF
nerve force by the energy Of his great in
telect at an age when other men OF his
calibre have shown symptoms Of waning
energy.

A C0L0RED MAN WHOSE SWEETHEART HAD
sHAMEFULLY IMPOSED UPON HIM.
A Salisbury IN. " special to the Phila-
delphia Times says: The colored people OF
this place, as well as many others, have
been thrown into intense excitement over
the fact that Hugh Leonard had thrown up
snake eighteen inches long. An eXami-
nation shows that Leonard has been sick
for some weel s, and he was convinced that
he had been ,oniured. He even goes so
far as to fix the exact date when the
bewitcn,ng was accomplished. Tie says
he attended ball, when one oil
his old sweethearts, whom he had
dropped "for handsomer GIRL came
and gave him some cake. lie noticed
a peculiar taste, and did not eat all OF 1t,
ms he was fearful OF being coniured. lie
soon began complaining OF pains in the
stomach. His Uncle Cotman took the case
In charge with the avowed intention CT re-
moving the spell, and yesterday witnessed
the fruition OF his labors. About O'Clock
Leonard was taken with a severe fit OF
coughing, when he threw up snake
some twelve inches long, spotted
white and black, and apparently OF the
water-snake variety. The snake was alive,
and continued so until he was put in a bot
tie OF rum for safe-keeping. Tie negro still
lies on his back on the floor and says there
are more of them yet to come; that they
come up into his throat and choke him
nearly to death, but slip back before he car
get his fingers on them. The old colored
women present at the occurrence say thai

four-legged scorpion ran out OF Leonard''
mouth and disappeared under the bed
The snake has been seen by hundreds
The excitement is intense.
Edward Graham, who is supposed by al
the colored people to be gifted as a coniu
fcr, says the thing Is very easily done. II

snake, kill and dry it, and then grind
TO fine powder. This mixed in with an.
kind OF cake and the very small egg

in suits at law, both criminal and civil.
The truth in this case Is the boy did not
receive any serious injury Whatever. Ply
