Physical Effects OF Thought.

DR.. Manseman, a notable physician
OF the last century, once published a
work entitled The Physical and Men
tai Treatment of the Human Body" in
which he gave the following cure for
mental worry: Let the sufferer think
dwell upon their charms and graces
cogitate deeply upon the affection they
bear one for the other. If this does
not have soothing effect. then let
the patient try a small draught OF
strongly brewed tea, with a lump OF
ginger in it. The efficacy of this is
wonderful"

HEADSMAN OF NAPLES.
Death In Exile of Man who Had Taken
Many Lives.

Many Lives.
On the little island Of Ustica. 40 miles
from Palermo, Italy, there died the
other day man who was for years the
terror of the people of Naples and the
kingdom of the Two Sicilics. He was
Gaetano gmpellizzeri. once the heads
man under Ferdinand IL. of Naples.
The useless executions attributed to
Impellizzeri SAYS the New York Trib.
une. are countless and with the cruelty
which he showed led TO his deuuncia-
tion by Mr.. Gladstone 10 years ago in
the philippics which the statesman di-
rected against Ferdinand. The cXccu-
tions were only in part public; it was
the executions in sccret-usually at
night-which gave the man his power.
1t was he who executed in San Fran
cisco place, Naples, the Calabrian Age
siias Milanoque, who on December 9,
1856, had made a bayonet thrust at
King Ferdinand H., and patriots IN
Vulnerable became his victims.
When Garibaldi entered Naples in
September, 1850, the excited populace
went i'm search of the hated headsman,
but he cared much for his own life, al
though he thought little of that of
others, and escaped with his wife.
Later he was imprisoned on the island
Of Ustica, where he became an oiliccy
of the fort built in those days to protect
the island against pirates. He was in
receipt of a pension OF five dollars
month-much more than he deserved.

DISCOVER ANOTHER WILD MAN.

wild man has been discovered on
the Chestnut ridge. four or five miles
south of Bolivar, says the Pittsburgh

James Shirley. a citizen OF that neigh
borhood, while strolling along the foot
of the mountains saw IA quecr-looking
individual rapidly climbing the noun
tain side as though making an effort to
run away from some one. His clothing
consisted of pantaloons worn off al the
knees and an Overcoat torn almost into
shreds He wore a SLOUGH hat pulled
down over shaggy face, his hair falling
in tangled locks on his shoulders. \
searching party was organized and
headed by Mr.. Shirley, and with Charles
Johnson made tour Of the ridge in
search Of the man. He was seen by the
party, but only for a moment. Like a
fash the man bounded away and was
lost among the rocks and brush. II is
the opinion of some that the mystcri
Gus man is Brookmire, who killed his
father-in-law in Indiana county two
years ago and who disappeared after
the murder The presence of the
strange individual has created good
deal of excitement in the ncighborhood.
