The "WIzARD" ANDERSON This no.
torious individual hes at last managed to
create q sensation. His last "dodge"
will anus, those Of our readers who are
acqua'nt:d with his humbugging propen-
sites. It sppesrs that he stated to bis
audience at Glasgow, Scotland, that some
years since he lent to Louis Napoleon the
sum Of $500, which loan was repaid to
him when in America, by the French
ambassador at Washington. The Wizard
also said that the Emperor had invited
him to visit Paris, and consequently his
stay in Glasgow must b, brief. The
whole story ives evidently puff, but the
Emperor has taken it seriously, and has
instructed his Secretary to write to the
London Times, deny ing that Anderson
ever lent him any thing! The Emperor
says lis Secretary "has never known,
never seen the Professor Anderson. His
majesty declares it solemnly, and de.
sires that the declaration may receive the
necessary publicity" s..---
