i MAaIc.-It behooves the citizens of this city 10
be wary, for by the posters at the corners of
the streets, and the agitation and excitement that
is created by the sight Of such mysterious words
:" Second Sight" in immense white letters, upon a
piratical-looking sheet, and Macallister is Com

tomorrow morning we may awake and find our
selves transported by magic 10 some distant land.

Macallister the so-called wizard, and Heller the
" conjuror,n are among US, each with cabinet Of
incomprehensiblc contents, by one called "won-
ders,n and the other Rosicrucian mysteries"

WAsHIsGTos.- Mercury" of the Baltimore
Sun, has ever praised Baltimore in speaking of the
excellence of its engineers, stone-cutters, inven-
tors, and in short everything appertaning to man
ufactures and trade that was Baltimorean, sure
to obtain Mercury's highest need Of praise. We
are not disposed to find fault with his admiration
of Baltimorean productions, but would suggest an
other class Of men in which the profession is car
ried to the highest point of excellence, If we may
take the representatives of the class in Washing
ton as being Of the fair average standard We re-
fer to thieves and pickpockets, who pay us long
and annoying visits, and whom police all agree
| in calling "pretty smart fellows They dress bet
ter than any of our citizens, sport canes, big
sleeved coats, and corkscrew pants, and may be
seen at the RENDEZVOUS, between Four-and-a-half
and Seventh streets, on the avenue, from eleven
to three o'clock daily.

NEW DOVE FOR The CAPrroL-we learn says
the Sentinel, that the accomplished architect Of
the Capitol, Thomas U. Walter, has completed the
design of magnificent new dome for the centre
building of the Capitol which is said by those who
have seen the drawings to be the most splendid
conception Of American genius, in that line, ever
witnessed. 1t is intended TO take the place Of
the present uncouth and clumsy affair which dis
figures the structure, and is necessary to perfect
the symmetry and architectural beauty Of the en-
tire building, when complete. It win be construct
ed entirely Of cast iron on the foundations Of the
old DOME and, If Mf. Walter shall be permitted to
complete IL according TO his own design, and with
out interference from men of inferior taste, expe-
rience and ability, IL viii be magnificent monu-
ment of his skill and genius, and contribute as
much TO perpetuate his fame and reputation as an
architect as did the dome of st. Peters that Of
Michael Angelo.
