SERIES Of DISASTROUS srEGULarIoSs.-A fail
ure of the land, as means Of producing wealth
rapidly to the cnltivator, is given in Sir John Sin
clair's correspondence. 1t is of man who, after
he had invented many ingenious patents but with
out profits tand also given up his profession of
writing.master) bought eight Scotch acres of land
near Edinburg, from which he intended to get O.
profit of fl60o year. His idea was to get 5000
gooseberry bushes on an acre, making in all
10000, and between the bushes to raise cabbage
aud other vegetables expecting no profit till the,
fifth year. His friends told him he could not get
the crop TO market in time, which he found the
case; the berries rotted and but small part were
sod the crop being large and fine. He therefore
abandoned gooseberries and went over to carrots,
but when he got his crop to market they were
found to be diseased in great part. Nothing dannt-
ed and having heard that carrots were good to fat
ten poultry, he bought great lot and invented
machines for cutting and smashing the roots into
shape on which he fattened his fowls: the result
was their flesh the exact color OF carrots after
it was cooked, and appeared to be quite raw. No
body would buy them. So much for experimental
agriculture.

THE LOST MAN.--We guess our lost Foreman 5,
II. Brady, isn't as much crazy as we thought him.
We don't believe that his disappearance was "mys-
terous " or produced by " temporary insaBityo
except the kind that afflicted Huntington, Schuyler
and Bresin. In short, this Office has conviction
that the man is consummate rascal and thief.
eve hope we shall be understood.l Developments
have come to light since his departure, ten days
ago, which show that he got in debt to everybody
who would trust him he borrowed money of all
his acquantances on account of pressing need,n
and he imposed upon the proyerbial kindness Of
printers, who will always help brother in want.
In this way he borrowed Sl00 about this office
alone, all of which we believe he intended to steal
from the beginning. We have an affeetionate re-
collection Of small portion of that 500. We
don't want to wish the man any harm, but really
would take pleasure in reporting his next meeting
with the Leader boys.
The Leavenworth (Kansas) Dspatch in connee-
ton with the dispatch that was sent from this place.
adds:
We are slightly acquainted with the aforesaid
Brady, and might be induced to believe the above,
were we not aware of the fact OF his having per-
formed this disappearance" trick twice before.
1t is an old game OF his after becoming .sinyolyed"
as numerous individuals in New York, Wisconsin
and other States, will testify. We apprchend he
will turn up somewhere else, shortly, alive and
well.
The press may pass him round.

visited the weaving establishment. The Empress,
when near one of the loonls was invited to take
the shuttle and throw it a few times Her Majesty

GARIBALDIs WIFE.-A letter from Marselles, OF
the 9th inst, says:
The wife of General Garibaldi has been in this
city for the last two days. She appears to have
given up the idea of embarking in the Pausiiippe
steam packet, which leaves this evening for Ciyita
Vecchia and Naples, and probably will wait for
some Garibadan vessel, which frequently arrive
here. The departure of the wife of the Dictator
leads to the supposition that reconciliation had
been brought about between them. 1t may be
remembered that Garibaidi, after having received
an anonymous letter which led to stormy expla-
nation, separated from his wife, one of the daugh
ters of the rich Marquis Raymond, the very eve
ming of his marriage.

THE WAY THE QUEES TRAVELS INcoG. On Tues
day forenoon, says the Inverness (seotand) Couri-
er, gentleman drove to the door of the cotnforta-
BILE inn hotel known as the Grants Arms, in the
center of the open square which constitutes the
village of GrantOwn, the capital of Strathspey. He
obtained audience of the andlady, Mrs. Glass, and
said he wished to engage the whole house that
night for a newly.married couple and their suite.
The worthy hostess demurred, as she might thus
exclude some of her best customers but the appli-
cant was very civil as well urgent, and gave
assurance that the party was highly respectable"
There no difference to terms and Mrs. Glass
told that she would be glad afterwards to know
that she had stretched point to accommodate the
was come to- and the occupants of the house at the
time were politely requested to board out for the
night The principals arrived in the evening
apparently quiet people, satisfied with everything
and everybody about them. In newly-marred
couple such equanimity might have been expected,
but this part of the affair evidently hoax, and
had only the effect of raising coneetures to who
the party might be but on this point all the attend
ants were dumb. Next morning at 10 O'Clock the
carriages were at the door, and the strangers took
their seats All being ready to start, Mrs. Glass
was called for, and Lord Churchill complimented
her on the cleanliness and order of her establish
ment The strangers, he said, had been very COM

royal party then drove toward Castle Grant, the
