PITY THE POOR spELLB1NDER.

PITY THE POOR SPELLBINDER.
An ingenious French servant, NJ. o.
| sip-Lourie, has discovered that great
deal of political oratory r-sults from a
| disease-thereby confirming suspicion
| we have long entertained. No one can
spend much time, for example, in the
gallery of the United States Senate with
out forming an opinion that a consider
able number of gentlemen down on the
floor are suffering from a terrible ner-
vous malady. They appear to have
no more control over their powers of
speech than an epileptic has over his
muscular actions, and go off into verbal
fits in the most irrelevant manner and
at most inopportune times.
| They are victims, says NJ Ossip-
| Lourie, of verbomania: sort Of hysteria
that compels the unhappy victim to
burst forth into speech on every pos
sible and impossible occasion. By care
full Investigation the Frenchman finds
! that sufferers from this disease are
usually conscious Of it and strive to
overcome it. Until the malady has
reached that chronic state where the
4l6AI VI ItdSOA is pAdSINd1IS oblASSidSNu
in the victims brain, typical verbo-
maniac will struggle, with set teeth and
clenched hands. to hold back the flood
of words that wells up within him. but
all vain. One poor sufferer explain
ed to NJ. Ossip-Lourie that speech was
to him a physical necessity, like breath
ing. An attempt to restrain speech has
much the same effect as an attempt to
hold ones breath. You exert your will
to the utmost: your face turns purple:
your very eye-balls become congested;
but at length, in spite of yourself, you
must open your mouth. So it is with the
unfortunate verbomaniac: he must speak
or bust!
Now that science has taken hold OF
this malady, there is room for hope
that its germ will be run to earth and
exterminated. Meanwhile the unfor-
tunate Northumberland the public
must suffer on-saturday Evening Post.
