strange scenes in the village of Brls-
tol during said time, end as none OF
the citizens Of the town had ever
witnessed said scenes they naturally
Concluded that said reports were
fabricated falsefaoods. The writer
hereof has made diligent investlga-
ton and has succeeded in making a
grand discovery. He has discovered
that the Said reports were all true
and that very small part has yet
been told. The fact is, Mr.. Editor,
we i.ave a mighty genius in our
midst which for convenience We Will
call professor Clever" The old
gentleman is well advanced in years
and well sversed in scientific technol-
ogy. He has been experimenting OF
Qare years with a camera obscura and
sterioscope and has succeeded IN
manufacturing on large scale new
instr ument involving all the prlnci-
phes of the former instruments, by
which he is enabled to produce seen
bic views on a large scale and great
extent. He has named his new in
strument Lugsagraph, as it can on
ley be operated in an open field 10y
Il Luna's pale hight, and then Only
when she arrives at the local merldl
I an, and of course the views present
ed are called Lunagraph scenes. He
has also painted a series of pictures
representing political history in the
past, present and future On bright
moonlight nights the old Professor
takes up a position on the 7lA with
his Lunagraph and pictures, and d.
reefs his instrument toward the city,
and there and then holds a solemn
seance and writes notes descriptive
Of the scenes for publication. While
out late making Investigations the
writer hereof discovered a strange
object in the cleaning, which he ap-
preached with steathy steps and
there beheld alone and still the griz
ly wizard Of the hill Upon his
| head royal crown and body wrapt
in wizards gown, with hoary locks
floating Gu the midnight air Pres
entity the writer heard .telegraphic
click, when suddenly bright, lumln-
Gus cloud appeared over the city.
| Scene first is now on. Immedi
ately there appeared a mighty man
sion or Fhe eastern disk of the cloud
which advanced slowly towards the
CENTER there it remained stationary
about minute in all the majesty of
its glory, with Corinthian columns
and Doric dome 1t then passed
slowly over the western disk Of the
Icloads and faded away beneath the
mountains. The wrixer recognized
as the national capitol at Washing
tou.
| Scene second is now in order and
it imanediately appeared on the east
ern disk. 1t moved slowly to the
center and remained stationary one
inmate. The writer recognized it
as the interDal view of the national
house of representatives, with a great
multDude IN the proscenium and gal
leries, and all as silent as the grave.
Presto, the scene changes and
great oommotion was seen among
the multitude. Many men darted
out as if shot from a catapult, while
the speaker pounded a platform with
his ga~el and pointed a long finger
at the departing. This picture IL
illustrates frequent scene at Wash
ington, and also the old adage that
discretion is the better part of val
or" and the undying courage of
| Democracy.
Scene three now appeared and
represented a mighty multitude of
people marching with foreign ban
ners, crosses and cruciixes and 9TH
er insignia of ancient paganism. A
man with a triple crown led the van.
This passed over the disk in like
manner as the former pictures, and
the writer recognized it as a repre-
sentation of the last election. This
is very interesting from a Democrat
ic standpoint; but to Protestants and
patriots it is very humiliating-
Scene fourth then appeared and is
represented in the picture by two
grand armies of eagles approaching
each other from the east and west.
They met at the center Of the cloud.
They fight fast and furious; dead
and dying eagles are seen dropping
to the earth; a cloud of feathers
soon obscures the scene; a mighty
breeze ensued that blew away the
feathers and revealed a host of
featherless eagles. The western ar
my Of American eagles had turned
tail to and were flying toward
the setting sun, while the eastern or
Roman eagles were in hot pursuit
The scene seems to be prophetic and
to represent some coming event.
Very interesting to Romanists, but
