" THE GREAT WlZARD".—Professor Anderson,
so well known throughout the world as the
" Wizzrd of the North," continues nightly, at St.
James's Hall, to unfold his " World of Magic" to
overflowing audiences. His mysterious art is pera
fectly astounding ; and, as handkerchiefs are torn
up, rings broken, watches transported from ono side
of the hall to the other, water turned into wine,
and vice versa, the wonder of the beholder is
worked up to a pitch impossible to describe. We are
glad to see that, with his characteristic liberality,
the Professor p'irposes devoting a portion of the
Mall every Saturday to the children of the different
charity and other schools in London. The boys of
the ChAsea Military School, with their unique band,
are to have the privilege next Saturday, which will
be a great attraction. We have no doubt the little
fellows will enjoy greatly the treat in store for
them, and will also contribute, in no small degree,
with their musical talent, to the delight of the other
visitors to the " Magic Hall." Accommodation
will, we understand, be provided for about 350 boys
and girls; and wo would recommend managers of
schools, who wish to take advantage of this very
laudable and generous offer, to apply at once to the
managing director, Mr. A. Nimmo, who will give
all information as to the date and regulation for the
reception of each school.
LORD BROUGBAM.—Mr Joseph Wilkinson, of
Bonscale, Ullswater, a veteran politician, who formerly
took great interest in the election contests of Lord Brougham
in Westmoreland, has just erected a stone pillar upon the
mountain called Halle, in commemoration of the 86th
birthday of the noble and venerable peer. The mountain
on which the memorial stands commands a beautiful view
of the lake of Ullswater and its surroundings. The pillar
is 12 feet high, and is conspicuous enough to be seen from
Cross Fell with the aid of a glass.

OLD AI3S'S LAST.—Mr. Lincoln, when some ens
vious military busybody accused general Grant of intent
peruses, asked with great earnestness, "Are you sure,
then, that Grant gets (hunk ?" " Ohl sure, sir, shamefully
drunk!" " Well, then"—with an air of special confidence
—6, oblige me by doing your best to find out the particular
lique he drinks, for I should like to send a cask of it imme-
diately to some other of ny generals.
When Madame Goethe and M tdatne do Sti.O.
were, with some ceremony and much c xpectation, brought
together, "Je suis la mere de Goeth.," Was the solemn
self-introduction of tho German mother, believing that
there existed net among women a more magnificent title or
a nobler claim to honour. "Ah j'en suis charmec," was
all that the brilliant Frenchwoman could find to say en
the impressive occasion.

THE CONSULSHIP OF SCIENCE for 1865 has been
given to Professor Phillips, of o,ford. The British AQsc-
ciation will meet next year at Birmingham, when Sir Chas.
Lyell will surrender his presidency to Mr. Phillips.
