Science in Love.
Her father was a scientist
And dwelt in royal state.
With twenty students in his house
And more around the gate.
Waiting with much anxiety
To enter his society.
She moved among her bottles
A thing of grace and light.
All pterodactyls known to her
And every trilobite;
And every hygrometer
And haemodynamometer.
And I to metaphysics.
And degradation sore
From childhood earlid moments
Had been delivered wry.
My father kept me smiling
Round Fight, Kant and Schilling.
My life was but a do-or-die waste,
I did not know a thing
Of images etoptical
And all the poets they bring.
Knew no hepatic humora
Nor homeopathic remedies.
Who in the metaphysics
Has visited all his life?
How shall he ever win and wear
A scientific wife?
She is so far above him
How can she ever have him?
I crept up through the window,
Stole up the winding stair.
I took away some keratin
And left some keratin there.
"Who Keratin's been history?"
Said she, "and left this kela in"
am exact, and that it is just seven o'clock."
The czar, pulling out his watch violently, in order to confound what he considered a piece of downright insolence, was completely amazed.
The watch marked seven o'clock. In turn all the courtiers drew out their watches, which were found, as usual, exactly regulated by that of the sovereign. Seven o'clock indicated with a common accord all the watches and clocks of the palace.
The art of the magician was at once manifest in this strange retrogression of the march of time. To anger succeeded astonishment and admiration. Perceiving that the czar smiled Pirnetti thus addressed him:
"Your majesty will pardon me.
It was by the performance of this trick that I was desirous of making my first appearance before you. But I know how precious truth is at court; it is at least necessary that your watch should tell it to you, sir.
If you consult it now, you will find that it marks the real time."
The czar again drew forth his watch—it pointed to a few minutes past eight; the same correction had taken place in all the watches of those present, and in the clocks of the palace. This exploit was followed by others equally amusing to keep you against you know how to leave St. easily as you have for late this palace."
"I could do so, sir,
but far from wishing tarburg stealthily on
I am desirous of quit most public manner giving to the inhabit capital a striking ex-magical powers."
Pirnetti could not ordinary mortal; it that he should crown the Russian capital surpassing his previous form, on the evening the day fixed for his announced that he sh Petersburg the follow o'clock in the morning should quit by all that the same moment. P was excited to the high this announcement. S at that time had fifteen were each encompassed tude; eager to witness loss departure.
The spectators at the all declared that at cisely Pirnetti, whom nized, passed through with a slow pace, a direct, in order to be
About the beginning of the present century, a species of Cagliostro, or rather a superior kind of Wizard of the North, made his appearance at St. Peterburg, and astomished the natives by his marvellous performances.

I crept up through the window.

I took away some keratin
And left some keratin there.
"Who Keratin's been histin?"
Said she, "and left this kelis in"
I brought her curious fanna,
And many a flom, too,
And gathered with the greatest care.
And sought with much ado.
"Who's this," she said, "is hedging Round my heart with deep mud drudg-ing?"
And so for years I wooed her.
Until she was almost wild;
She jilled all the students.
And got her parents riled:
"He-ho, she's not lymphatic!"
Then they a nick in the耳.
Now being transcendental,
This pleased me to a joy:
I clambered up the Lightning rod
And gained the chimney pot.
Their little game to spoil
I took a Ruhmkorff coil.
"O daring, are you sleeping?"
I shouted down the fine;
She thought it was the tempest roared—
It was the wild wind that blew.
It was no time for factory
And so I worked my battery.
I'd heard of what the magnet
Can do when mighty strong;
I'd heard that iron in the blood
Courses the villa along
And then I h ard a bumping
In the chimney, and a thumping.
For up my love was coming.
Head first through the flue.
Then down I want a screaming.
And she came tumbling, too.
The iron in her blood.
Had done me service good.
So to my house I drew her—
Twas like a wondrous dream—
When love is joined to learning
They make a splendid team.
So long live every science
And chemical appliance.
The Wonderful Wizard.

The Wonderful Wizard.
About the beginning of the present century, a species of Cagliostro, or rather a superior kind of Wizard of the North, made his appearance at St. Peterburg, and astomished the natives by his marvellous performances. His name was Pirnetti, and his fame is yet in the memory of those who witnessed his unrivalled talents.
The Czar Alexander, having heard Pirnetti much spoken of, was desirous of seeing him; and one day it was announced to the conjurer that he would have the honor of giving a representation of his magical powers
Your first appearance before you. But I know how precious truth is at court; it is at least necessary that your watch should tell it to you, sir. If you consult it now, you will find that it marks the real time."
The czar again drew forth his watch—it pointed to a few minutes past eight; the same correction had taken place in all the watches of those present, and in the cloaks of the palace. This exploit was followed by others equally amusing and surprising. At the close of the performances, the czar, after having complimented Pirnetti, brought back to his remembrance that in the course of the evening's amusements he had declared that such was the power of his art that he could penetrate everywhere.
"Yes, sir, everywhere!" replied the conjurer, with modest assurance.
"What!" exclaimed the czar, "could you penetrate even into this palace, were I to order all the doors closed and guarded?"
"Into this palace, sir, or even into the the apartment of your majesty, quite as easily as I should enter into my own house," said Pirnetti.
"Well, then," said the czar, "at midday to morrow I shall have ready in my closet the price of this evening's amusements—one thousand rumbles. Cume and get them. But I forewarn you that the doors shall be closed and carefully guarded."
"To morrow, at midday, I shall have the honor of presenting myself before your majesty," replied Pirnetti who bowed and withdrew:
The gentlemen of the household followed the conjurer to make sure he quitted the palace; they accompanied him to his lodgings, and a number of police surrounded the dwelling from the moment he entered it. The palace was instantly closed, with positive orders not to suffer; under any pretext whatever, any one to enter, were he prince or valet, until the czar himself should command the doors to be opened. These orders were strictly enforced, confidential persons having watched their execution. The exterior openings to the palace were watched by the soldiery. All the approaches to the imperial apartments were protected by his dignitaries, whom a simple professor of the art of leger-domain possessed no means of bribing. In short, for security, all the keys had been carried into the imperial cabinet. A few moments previous to the hour fixed for Pirnetti's interview with the czar, the chamber-lain on service brought to his majesty a dispatch which a messenger had handed him through an opening in

of the North, made his appearance
at St. Petersburg, and astonished the
natives by his marvellous performances.
His name was Pirretti, and his fame is yet in the memory of those who witnessed his unrivalled talents.
The Czar Alexander, having heard Pirretti much spoken of, was desirous of seeing him; and one day it was announced to the conjurer that he would have the honor of giving a representation of his magical powers at court, the hour fixed for him to make his appearance being seven o'clock. A brilliant and numerous assembly of ladies and courtiers, preended over by the czar, had met, but the conjurer was absent. Surprised and displeased, the czar pulled out his watch, which indicated five minutes after seven. Pirretti had not only failed in being in waiting, but he had caused the court to wait, and Alexander was not more patient than Louis XIV. A quarter of an hour passed, half an hour, and no Pirretti! Messengers who had been sent in search of him returned unsuccessful. The anger of the court, with difficulty restrained, displayed itself in threatening exclamations. At length, after the lapee of an hour, the door of the saloon opened, and the gentleman of the chamber announced Pirretti, who presented himself with a calm front, and the serenity of one who has done nothing to reproach himself with. The czar, however, was greatly displeased; but Pirretti commanded an air of astonishment, and replied with the greatest enthusiasm.
"Did not your majesty command my presence at seven o'clock precisely?"
"Just so," explained the czar in the height of suspicion.
"Well, then," said Pirretti, "let your majesty digge in look at your watch, and you will perceive that Iings to the palace were watched by the soldiery. All the approaches to the imperial apartments were protected by his dignitaries, whom a simple professor of the art of legerdemain possessed no means of bribing. In short, for security, all the keys had been carried into the imperial cabinet. A few moments previous to the hour fixed for Pirretti's interview with the czar, the chamberlain on service brought to his majesty a dispatch which a messenger had handed him through an opening in the door. It was a report from the minister of the police that Pirretti had not left home.
"Aha!" He has found out the undertaking is impracticable, and he has abandoned it." observed the czar, with a smile.
Twelve o'clock sounded. While the last stroke yet reverberated, the door which communicated from the bedroom of the czar to the cabinet opened, and Pirretti appeared. The czar drew back a couple of pages, his brow darkened, and after a momentary silence he said:
"Are you aware that you may become a very dangerous individual?"
"Yes, sir," he replied, "but I am only an humble conjurer, with no ambition save that of amusing your majesty."
"Here," said the czar, "are a thousand yobles for last night, and a thousand for this day's visit."
Pirretti in offering his thanks was interrupted by the czar, who, with a though full air, inquired of him.
"Do you count on yet remaining some time in St. Petersburg?"
"Sire," he replied. "I intend setting off this week, unless your majesty orders a prolongation of my journe."
"No," hastily observed the czar. "It is not my intention to detain you; and moreover," continued he, with a smile. "I should vainly endure."

to keep you against your will. You know how to leave St. Petersburg as easily as you have found, your way into this palace."
"I could do so, sir," said Pirnetti, that far from wishing to quit St. Petersburg stealthily or mysteriously, he am desirous of quitting it in the most public manner possible, by living to the inhabitants of your capital a striking example of any magical powers."
Pirnetti could not leave like an ordinary mortal; it was necessary that he should crown his success in the Russian capital by something harpasing his previous efforts, there were on the evening preceding the day fixed for his departure, he announced that he should leave St. Petersburg the following day at ten o'clock in the morning, and that he should quit by all the city gates at the same moment. Public curiosity was excited to the highest degree by this announcement. St. Petersburg is that time had fifteen gates, which were each encompassed by a multi-ade, eager to witness this marvelous departure.
The spectators at the various gates all declared that at ten o'clock precisely, Pirnetti, whom they all recognized, passed through. "He walked with a slow pace, and with head erect, in order to be better seen."
New York district.
Many novel and ingenious methods of earning subsistence without labor have lately been brought to light. The most notorious of them is what has been called the snowdust swindle," the exposure of which has developed some very interesting and curious facts. The originators of this scheme have for the past few years floated the country with circular offering counterfeit bills at a very low price. After forwarding the purchase money as requested, all the applicants receive arrear small wooden boxes which contain small pieces of cast iron wrapped in slaves or imbedded in sawdust. When the dupes write and ask for an explanation, they receive a mysteriously-worded circular headed "caution," informing them that the police have obtained a clue and are on the track, and that the box containing the iron and sawdust is merely a "blind," and the dupe is earnestly requested to keep "dark" for a time to save himself, and when the thing has blown over, the real counterfeit will be duly forwarded. This is a trick of course, and is only resorted to by the swindlers to keep their victims quiet while they ennare others in the same fold.

should quit by all the city gates at the same moment. Public curiosity was excited to the highest degree by this announcement. St. Petersburg is that time had fifteen gates, which were each encompassed by a multi-ade, eager to witness this marvelous departure.
The spectators at the various gates will declared that at ten o'clock precisely, Pirnetti, whom they all recognized, passed through. "He walked with a slow pace, and with head street, in order to be better seen," they said: "and he hade them adieu as a clear and audible voice."
These unanimous testimonies were confirmed by the written declaration of the officers placed at every gate to inspect the passports of travelers. The description of Pirnetti's passport were inscribed in the fifteen registers. Where is the wizard, whether coming from the North or South, who would in these degenerate days perform so astonishing an exploit?
The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.
The St. Louis Republican, of December 16th, has an interesting article concerning the route of the thirty-fifth parallel from St. Louis to San Diego and San Francisco. It states that S.F. Hodges, one of the engineers of the Atlantic and Pacific road, reached St. Louis on the sixth, after eighteen months service on the contemplated line of the road, principally in Arizona. Most of the entire route surveyed has been revisited, and is given by the Republican as follows:
From St. Louis to Venice 354 miles, and on the Creek lands in Indian Territory, the route being due Southwest: then it bears westwardly near the 25th parallel, and north of the way along the beautiful valley of the Canadian river, on the San Bernardino meridian in Southern California; thence northward to San Francisco and southward to San Diego. The entire distance from here to San Francisco by this route will not fall short of 2,000 miles, and to San Diego about 2,650 miles. The road will cross the Arkansas near the mouth of the Red Fork of that stream; thence up the Canadian reaching the Rio Grande about 300 miles south of Albuquerque; thence on, near new Fort Wingate; striking the little Colorado near the mouth of the Rio Purco From where it will take the divide between the San Inan and Rio Gila. It will cross the Rio Colorado near Port Mohave; thence west to the summit of the Sierra Nevada and from there Northwest to San Francisco.
Obtained a clue and are on the track, and that the box containing the iron and sawdust is merely a "blind," and the dupe is earnestly requested to keep "dark" for a time to save himself, and when the thing has blown over, the real counterfeit will be duly forwarded. This is a trick of course, and is only resorted to by the swindlers to keep their victims quiet while they snare others in the same fold.
James Fisher and Charles Hinckley, who carried on a very extensive trade at No. 39 Nassau street, cleared thousands of dollars from every country dupes by this sawdust swirlle. They traded under the name of Fisher & Co., King & Son, Owen Brothers, &c. The occupied five rooms on the top floor of the premises. They started in September, 1870, and when ready, they advertised for good penmen to write addresses at 62 per thousand. They engaged ten young men, chiefly new arrivals from Europe. These young men were locked up in one room, and supplied with envelopes and bundles of letters. Each man wrote on an average, 800 addresses per day, and was kept at work for five months. During these five months 195,000 circulars were mailed all over the country, offering to supply counterfeit money. In one room were nine young girls holding circlets, inclosing them, and stamping the envelopes. These girls earned about $8 per week each. They were also locked in a room where no one but the principals ever entered. In a small room was secreted the packer. He inclosed the iron chips and sawdust, and sent the boxes off by express. He received $10 per week for his labor.
Next came the shop-walker, who was kept constantly posted outside, in the passage ready to pump any person who came to inquire for the firm. Outside the sanctuary of the two principals was a small office, into which were nahered all the knaves who wanted to purchase this counterfeit money. A clerk would receive all the money he could obtain from his visitors, and under the pretance that the demand was greater than the manufactory could supply, would state that he could not then give the counterfeits, but would send them by express. He would vary this excuse by saying that the police were watching every person who left the premises, and that it would not be safe for him to carry any of these notes away. Many applicants, was thus feightound, and never had the courage to venture near the place again, and lost their
The road will cross the Arkansas near the mouth of the Red Fork of that stream; thence up the Canadian, reaching the Rio Grande about 20 miles south of Albuquerque; hence on, near new Fort Wingate, striding the little Colorado near the mouth of the Rio Puerco. From there it will take the divide between the San Juan and Rio Gila. It will cross the Rio Colorado near Fort Mobave; thence west to the summit of the Sierra Nevada and from there Northwest to San Francisco.
The country through which it will pass is admirably adapted to the sanction of a first-class railroad and at a moderate expense. Nearly the entire route abounds in mineral resources and is also unsurpassed in agricultural wealth. The climate is most salubrious and but little danger need ever be apprehended by snow blockades on this route.
The Indians object to the agent of the company living in the territory, it being contrary to their laws, but this matter will probably be adjusted in a short time. The route at present is completed about 360 miles from St. Louis or about two miles beyond Venita. Work is being pushed ahead.
It is stated in the Journal del Editeur on Gau of Paris that petroleum can be converted into acrid, which will burn without liquifying, and may be preserved in a firm mass for period of time. The process is not given, and it is said to be unsafe.
