JOHN BoLIvER.-The Philadelphia Gazette
has New York correspondent of the above
name in New York, who beats Doesticks in
humor and the knack of playing upon words.
The following account of his I" Visit to the

last letter:
It's a free institution, filed with dead
heads Professor wished to feel my head
Told me to uncover. Told him to feel it with
my hat on. The hat was felt. then took it
off. He examined my wig Said he knew
there was something in my head-I was full

Professor, after | had mentioned my name,
conducted me around the museum; showed
me all the heads; some were plaster casts;
said they cast lots, told him was opposed to
gambling; Che looked bewildered J showed
me the skull of Mullgan; Mulligan was an
acrobat; made his last appearance on tight
rope at the city prison. for the benefit of the
public. Broke his neck in the performance.
Next showed me skulls of men killed in wars.
Professor observed, as curious fact, that
those slain in battle were generally aged
having bald heads. In the next row was O
skull of boatman; it was not for sale; it
looked ordinary; poor fellow he has run his
race. We next paid our attention to the fe-
males; they were seemingly old maids, being
laid on the shelf, in tears. Professor said
they had a little more jaw He did not
speak of their sighs. AS was about de-

KIssING-Rev Sidney Smith once said,
in writing of kissing: we are in favor of
certain amount of shyuess when kiss is pro-
posed, but it should not be too long; and
when the fair one gives it, let it be admins
tered with warmth and energy; let there be
soul in it, If she closes her eyes and sighs
Immediately after it, the effect is greater
She should be careful not to slobber kiss,
but give it as humming bird runs his bill
into neysuckle-deep, but delicate. There
is much virtue in kiss when well delivered
We have had the memory of one received in
our youth, which lasted us forty years, and
we believe it will be one of the last things
we think OF when we die"

GEOLOGICAL BANQUET-Among the guests
at party in South Danyers, recently, was
Prof Hitchcock, of Amherst College, well
known for his works on Geology. The party
was pleasant one, end all went on well until
herefreshmcnts appeared when it was found
that everything on the table was as hard and
solid as rock. The ice creams were CON
gealcd to solidity beyond the melting power
OF the most tropical heat no spoon could pen
citrate the blame mange the eustards were
equally impenetrable ; and the nicely frosted
cake refused to yield to the sharpest knife. In
aiword, it seemed as if the presence of the
geologist had turned everything to stone. The
oysters were petritied.
1t was found, on further examination, that
the wine in the glasses refused to run out, and
the liquid in the champagne bottles was fur
nished by the Aqueduct Company. The
cream was of the consistency of lime water,
and the sugar looked like quick lime The
cake was heavy, the lower stratum having
been baked in br ok kiln and the upper look
ed ike trGsting Of gypsum. This latter sub
stance went largely into the composition of
other articles in this strange metamorphosis.
The joke made a great deal of sport among
the cheated guests especially as the opening of
another door, presently, showed an abundant
supply Of rich and well prepared edibles, from
different quarry from those on the first table.

The SPIRITs.-J. V. Mansfield the Boston
seer, has replied to the exposure Of Collagan.
the artist who drew spiritual crayons for him.
He declares that Collagan protGssed to make
the pictures by the aid Of spirits, that he has
paid him for all the work done, and that the
exposure is the result of an unsuccessful at
tempt to levy black mail upon him by Cola
gan. Mansfield professes, as matter of
course, to have acted in perfect good faith, in
his spiritual operations. He and Collagan
seem to have been well matched and if they
had not quarrelea in dividing the spoils might
have continued to do a very good business TO-
gether Mansfield seeing the spirits and Cola
gan painting them. Mr.. Mansfield sustains
his claims by a certificate signed by Heryey
Chase Of Lowell, to the effect lhaU nIstusneId
saw and described to his (Chase's) wife while
in clairyoyant state, and obtained promise
from her to sit to a spiritual artist named
Walcott, in Ohio, and that Walcott painted
correct likeness, although Mrs. Chase had been
dead thirty-nine years, and there was no like
ness Of her eXtant. The length Of time that
had elapsed impairs very much the value of
this testimony, for the eastresembance would
pass for a great deal in the imperfect recollec-
ton Of face SO long gone.

the increased consumption and the low rate Of
freight. Reports from interior towns and
depots throughout the Southern country, state
that at no former period was the accumulation
Of cotton so large as it is now. Under the cir
