ments. Our readers will recollect that some
time ago we published an engraving showing the
principles of an Hrial Car of his construction,
with which he claimed that he would be enabled
to navigate the air. Many of our scientific men
at the time declared this an imposibility. We
are glad to say that M. Petin is now among us,
and will ere long give us practical demonstra-
tion of what he do in the way of Hrial
navigation.
*x* The London Times says that the
number of people arrested in France during the
few weeks preceding the announcement was
100000 These are all for political offences
This shows the wonderful harmony which reigns
among the people. Either the French are a ma
tion of towards and slaves, or there is a volcano
beneath the usurpers feet, which ere long will
send him to his final account, and his military
government with him as a sort of body guard.
>. X The public has been kept in state
of feverish excitement for several weeks, by the
promised disclosures which Mr.. Andrew Stevens
assured us he was about to make in reference to
the Astor Place Riots, the Forrest Divorce Case,
and sundry other interesting matters. They
have not yet made their appearance. What is
the cause of this delay2 Surely Mr. Stevens is
not trying practical joke on his cid friend For
rest.
N.Y. Madame Rumor has set a story
afoat in Boston that Mrs. Anna Cora Mowatt,
was about to surrender to a wealthy Englishman
4, who proposes to take her off the stage soon as
Z the nuptials are duly celebrated. 1t may be all
! gossip, but after the event which added Gold
schmidt to the name of Jenny Lind, we should
J not be surprised at anything that may happen to
popular professional ladies.
=" The Aztecs continue to attract the
curious. The Society Library at the corner of
Broadway and Leonard street, is daily crowded
by all classes Of our citizens who seem to be more
and more captivated with these curious little
people They are making remarkable progress
! in the study of our language, and will ere long
be able to confound those wiseacres who pro-
nounce them idiots.
*.* Presidential elections always give
us some singular cabalistic mysteries. That
which is to be brought to bear this year is
''K. X. X. K which, being translated, signi-
fes Kossuth, KInkle, Rl,6a, and Kanada. The
party which adopts this comprehensive platform
made to harmonize.
*K* Prof Owen, we see by his advertise
ment, promises to explain the science of Psychol-
ogy to the audience so that every one will under
stand how to manipulate as well as himself. He
also proposes to show the audience some very
astounding xperiments-introducing his ''men-
tai telegraph etc He lectures every evening
this week, at 5S7 Broadway.
* n The colored aristocracy of the
Ninth Ward, we perceive, have been laying
their grievances before the City Fathers. They
want the Common Council to pass a law to allow
them to ride in omnibuses the same as white peo-
pie. The petition was referred to the Commit
tee on ''Wool and Ivory" of which, we believe,
Aid. Sturtevant is chairman.
*** The list of letters is to be published
hereafter on Friday instead of Saturday When
are we TO have the new post Office little further
uptown Our downtown friends have enjoyed
the joke about long enough of seeing the citizens
crowding down among them for their letters.
Xxx The daily political papers of the
city of Paris has been reduced from thirty to ten,
since Louis Napoleon has taken them in hand.
By this operation alone, over 1900 people are
thrown out of employment.
- Professor Richard gives another free
lecture tomorrow evening at 6S5 Broadway, on
his theory of teaching French. The first num-
ber of his new paper, we are told, has met with
great Success.
*A* The Annual Ball of Dodworth Cor
net Band comes off to morrow night at the Apollo
Rooms Of course there will be crowd there
AMUSEMENT, people q0iU have, and if
instruction can be combined with it, how much
more rational and worthy the attention of sensi-
BILE people it can be made. Such is the charac-
ter of Prof Williams entertainments in Mental
Alchemy, at Metropolitan Hall for no one can
witness the wonderful phenomena there exhibit
ted, without being convinced that modern re-
searches into the powers of the human mind have
succeeded in developing more of our spiritual
nature, and the relations of mind to matter, than
all the so.calIed divinations of ancient astrolo-
gers and soothsayers. We say then if you
wish TO be amused, and at the same time
amazed beyond measure, attend the Professors
that ''there is something m ii gaven and AGHfe,s
as Hamlet says, ''that has never been dreamt of
in your philosophy" The ladies are also to have
chance by themselves, we see, in the after
moons, and if there be any humbug about it, as
some contend, they will be sure to find it out.
B9s~ Whenever any article is extensive
ly advertised, the public are led to doubt the
truth of it this is reasonable in some cases, but
not always. The Bowery Savings Store adver
tised two weeks sgo-selling out, closing the
concern, Sc. Of this there can be no doubt, if
a fair inference may be drawn from the fact that
the establishment has been crowded to its utmost
limit every day, and thousands on thousands of
dollars worth have been sold; and we are told
by those we have confidence in, and we have seen
with our own eyes, that goods have been sold at
prices far below anything we have ever heard of
The proprietors continue their sales, and have
brought in all their reserved stock, out of which
improved opportunities are offered. AS word
of advice to our readers, we say-go there, go
early, and be not afraid of being deceived, for
every article is marked in plain figures, and our
word for it, you don't leave without buying
this is undoubtedly the best chance ever offered
in New York.
VEGETABLE EUREKA PLASTER We
would call the readers attention to the adver-
tisement of this compound, which will be found
on our last page. We regard it as one of the
marvels of the age. Having tested it personally,
and seen its effects on others in many of the ills
to which flesh is heir to, we have no hesitation
in recommending it to the public. We never re-
member seeing so many well known and respect
able witnesses coming forward to give evidence
in favor of any similar remedy. Our own expe-
rience is, however, far more conclusive than that
of any other testim ny. Let the suffering try its
effects, and they will then be better able to judge
whether we Overrate the merits of this powerful
agent for the relief of human suffering.
The IRVING BUILDING ASSOCIATION. |
This Association has made remarkable progress
considering the length of time it has been in |
operation. The fact is to be in some measure
attributed to the gentlemen who have assumed |
its management We see that public meeting |

mic Hall, at which Mr.. w. T. B. Milliken will |
deliver Lecture, explaining its principles and |
the plan of its operations. We advise all who |

Associations, and is in the hands of gentlemen |
fully competent to carry it out successfully.
