TNHE KNICKERBOcKER MAGAZINE begins
j in its May number two serials: one illustrated
and in popular style on the Authorizations Of Food
the subject nearast the health and happiness of
everG family in the land, and now attracting great
attention in Europe; the other . fascinating and
powerful story OF domestic life, entitled:
THE ROMANCE OF POOR YOUNG MAN,
BY Octave Feuillct said to be the best novel pro.
duccd in the last FIVE years. The first chapter
opens brilliantly. Neither Dickens, Thsckeray, nor
any American novelist, has produced any thing
more charming and interesting.
Every one knows that by the criminal avarice Of
manufacturers and dealers, almost every article of
food in common use, liquors and drugs, are adul-
tersted with hurtful and poisonous substances and
the Knckerbock is the first and only publication
In the country that has undertaken to expose thor
eughly this gigantic wrong which secretly attacks
every mans life. All Of its statements are based
upon rigid chemical anal yss and microscopcai ex-
aminations made for this special purpose. The
adulterztions and the manner Of detecting them
are unfivAled and to probe the evil to the bottom,
the knirkerbocker win publish, far - its inves
tigations extend, the names Of the manufacturers
and dealers guilty Of this insidous crime against
hsalth and life. 1t is the important series .f
articles ever begun in IN American MagaEine, and

THE FoUE EYED MANIA new
wonder has been discovered in New
I lork, in the person Of man
named Carl Saul, WHO, it is asserted
has four eyes! lie has one pair
on tire usual place, and another
on the back Of the head. A cor
respondent Of the Evening Post,
who enjoys the acquaintance of the
individual, says that "both sets OF
eyes are perfect, and he sees back.
ward and forward at the SINE time,
with ease, cohprehending at a
glance every thing within the range
of his vision either way. The Oh
ject which he simultaneously be-
holds, he Will describe with wonder
ful accuracy. Indeed, he is re-
narkable for his descriptive pow
ers. Mr.. Saul is a man of extreme
ditfidence, and the peculiarly sot
his construction has been carefully
concealed, and has, heretofore, been
known only to some of his most
intimate friends. The back Of lis
head is quit flat but he has long
hair, that efectually conceals his
large eyes, which are generally
protected by bandage." AS if
the above is not wonderful enough,
the correspondent bfthe Post makes
the following wonderful statement:
"He is highly intelligent and social
in his habits, and owns considera-
bly, property, which he has accu-
melated by honest ind1lstry.''

"A writer in BIackwood's Maga.
zine says it is wonderful to see the
Thousand useful as we'll as orna-
mental purposes to which paper is
applicable in the hands of the ia
panese. lie states that he saw it
made into materials SO closely res
sembling Russian and Morocco
leather and pig skin, that it was
very difficult to detect the differ
ence. With the aid of ]acker var
nish, and skillful painting, paper
made excellent trunks, tobacco
bags, cigar cases, saddles, telescope
cases, the frames OF microscopes ;
and he even saw and used excellent
waterproof coats made of. simple
paper, which did keep out the rain,
and were as supple as the best
Macintosh. The Japanese use
neither silk nor cotton handker-
chiefs, towels nor busters papers
in their hands serves as an excel
lent su bstitute. It is soft, thin,
tough, Of a pale yellow color, verv
plentiful and very cheap. The in
ner walls Of many a Japanese ap-
art'nent are fo'm d of paper, being |
nothing more than painted screens;
their windows are covered with a
fine translucent description of the
same material ; it enters largely
into manufacture of nearly evry-
thing in Japanese household;
and he saw what seemed to be balls
OF twine, but which were nothing
but shrcds Of tough paper rolled up:
IT a shopkeeper had a parcel to tie
up, he would take a strip of paper
roll it quickly between his hands,
and use it for the purpose;- =
and it was quite as srong as the
ordinary string used at home. In
short, without paper, all Japan
would come to a dead lock ; indeed,
lest by the arbitrary exercises of
his authority, a tyraniical husband
should stop his wife's paper, tue
sage Japanese mother-in-law inva-
riab]y stipulate in the marriage set
tlemcnt, that the bride is to have
allowed to her a certain quantity Of
paper.
