regards guano as powerful stinulant,
but too expensive for general use. Our
notion is, that one may use guano to
make crop of corn at profit if he
will make the corn pay fine price in
meat, as the equivalent Of the guano.
IN other words, this costly commercial
manure cannot be profitably purchased
to grow corn for commercial purposes;
but for home consumption, where ali
the elements of the seeds, cob, blades
and stalks may be saved as manure
the equivalent of the guano, and more

to the royal party, who pronounced
it delicious. This is considered one
of the greatest feats Of the natural
magic.
The professor was requested by
her majesty to, if possible, perform
the famous chemical experiment i'm
parted to him by her late uncle,
William the Fourth, that of freezing
,Oater IN a red hot crucible. The
professor, expecting such demand
had provided a crucible and made it
red hot on his drawing-room fire.
IIc then, took a bottle of water,
which was tested and scaled by the
prince, and was retained for short
time by the Duke Of Leeds, who
was much interested by the wonders
already worked by the professor
The Wizard, purporting to conclude
the exhibition with this experiment,
took the duchess's ink saturated
handkerchief and to the astonishment
and alarm Of all present, threw it in.
to the glaring crucible, and it, of
course, was Immediately consumed.
Mr.. A. then took the bottle Of
water from his grace, and, breaking
off the neck, poured the water into
the red hot vessel, and Immediately
threw upon the carpet, from the YES
sci a large piece of ice, which was
examined by them all, and to the
most overwhelming surprise Of the
queen, the duchess, and every one,
there was the destroyed handkerchief
in the middle of the piece of ice
The ice was broken, the cambric tax
Ell out and restored, without stain,
to the excited duchess.

to leave for the continent, where
great triumphs awaited him, for in
St. Petersburg he was in equal ia.
vor, and he was introduced to the
Emperor, which was very great to
him, and he lost nothing by the nerv-
ous duchess, whose curiosity to know
how the professor extracted the
stains and restored her handkerchief
in such singular place and manner,
led to a lively and even friendly cor
rcspondence. lie was introduced
into her gracc's family, where the
Wizard always finds welcome and

AN EXCITING ScENE.-A year or
two ago, as the steamer Southerncr
was on the point of departure from
Charleston, S. c., for New York, our
attention was attracted by number
OF passengers OH board, and the ex.
cltcnlcnt OF large crowd which had
gathered at Il particular place on the
vessels deck. We made our way in
to the lhrong behind the captain, and
soon found man dressed in the garb
OF quaker, seated on what appeared
to DC chest, declaring that it should
not be opened unless those who open.
ed it killed him. While he was thus
acting, a vioce from the chest. Gas if
from colorcd person in distress, )said
in a smolhcrcd tone
"Lct Inc out-l'd rather 90 to
massa, oh mercy dis chile cant stan
dis, no how Oh ! goIIy, can't stan
dis no longcr!'
"Look here, my friend, said the
captain, you'll please get off that
chest"
"Pll do no such lhng," he replied
coolly.
"Oh, dear lull' me out dis ~ came
distinctly from the chest, as if the
speaker was sutiocating.
"Mate," said the captain, "bring
some men here, and take that person
off that chest, and break it OPEN"
The Quaker resisted, was seized by
the passengers, all believing he was
stealing a darkcy, contrary to the laws
OF the South, and held uncomtortably.
The mate took an axe and forced the
lid loose from the chest.
"Oh, don't! you'll kill me-" said
The satisfied voice. 81 want to get
out; ! want to 60 back, oh dear |
shall die !"
"llold on few minute longer"
said q good natured person, stepping
out; "you shall soon be released"
Quite an intense feeling was now
raised in the crowd, when the mate
forced of the lid, and as it came from
the box, an unearthly. demoniac laugh
rang from the old clothes with which
the chest was filled, and 20 sign ofauy
