WHAT CR1NoL1NE CAN CovER.-The Washing.


ton States tells the following story:
A gentleman, whose attention was attracted by the
suspicious locomotion of woman passing from the
store of one of the Alexandria merchants yesterday
deserted the end of piece Of bacon projecting be-
low her dress The merchant stated on inquiry that
he had sold her none The woman was thereupon
brought back, and charged with the theft, and, nj
though her proportions were undisturbed and indi-
Gated nothing wrong, except the ridiculous fashion,
vet the sequel proved that she had concealed beneath
her crinoline side Of bacon which weighed thirty
five pounds! The charity Of the merchant, like the
crinone Of the culpr, covered her sin, and she
told to 20 and offend no more.

MORE PIECES OF THE AURORA BoREALIs.-The
idea-the first advanced by the philosopher Merriam,
of Brooklyn Heights-that tho northern light was
the result of the phosphorescent, fbrous silky sub
stance which oated in the atmosphere, but as far as
such fact is demonstrabe, was perfectly solved in
the city of Covington, KY, during and since, the
recent remarkable display Of the luminous freaks of
the aurora in the northern sky.
The attention of Mr.. Adam Kiger, of Covington,
on stepping into his lawn on Friday morning, was
lying scattered at hapbazard upon his shrubhey and
grass Upon touching tress or portion of it, he re-
ceived very sensible although slight shock of cleo
tricity or gslvanism. His attention being thus
arrested, he Immediately summoned his domestics,
and they proceeded at once to gather considerable
quantity Of the dew spangled fibre, which Mr.. Kiger
found by actual weight after desiccation to be two
ounces. seven grains, some of which he bottled for
future inspection and experiment, and some he made
into skeins of silk. [Cincinnati Enquirer.
We don't doubt that Mr.. Kiger may have found
some singular substance in his lawn but he does not
explain, any more than Philosopher Merriam did, his
reasons for believing it part and parcel of the North
ern Light.
