NEcRoMANcY.-In New York they have
new excitement, q jnggler that far outjug
giles any Of his predecessors. Among Her
mann's tricks is the following:
A hat furnished from the audience is found
to contain a hundred or more tin cups,
lunches Of howera, almost endless amounts
of feathers, sand fans in handfuls, almost
anything he chooses to find, in fact. Then
the hat is set on fire, piece burned from
the crown, and in this condition it is offer
ed to the lender He refuses to receive any
such tb; it was his he ackno Wedges; he
knows the marks on it, but he wants it fixed.

above his head, while Hermann fires a pistol
at it, The hat is seen floating above in the

Mas. SINcLAIR-"Don Felix the New
York correspondent of the Call, in late
letter, gives the following information con
cerning this lady:
The Forest case has been up before the
Courts again. Forest having appealed
from the report of the referee, "sticking'
him for four thousand dollars year alimony
to his wife, and some thirty thousand dollars
back stan!ing damages, the matter was ar
gued at length, but no decision arrived at.
Mrs Sinclair, Forests late wife, is living
here in nice style. Gossip says she keeps II
very gay young Engishman, dresses bim up
charnngIy, gives him plenty of pocket
money, and loves him distractedly. He, in
turn, has "sweet little creature" from
France, with whom he drives out every day
in Central Park Whom she patronizes |
cannot say Thus wickelness goes all around
in circle, for
"Big dogs have little dogs and they have heas, to
bite 'em,
And teas have lesser feas. and so ad iniinitum."

SALT IN THE SoUTu-The Scientific Amer
lean says the statements regarding want
OF salt in the South are incorrect 1t is
supposed that the S, nth is entirely depend
ent npon the North or foreign importation
for its supply of this necessary substance,
but this is not the case. Next to New York
Virginia makes the greatest quantity of salt
annually of any State in the Union. The
amount manufactured by New York is
5,5o3 ,447 bushels per annum; by Virginia,
3,650,O00 bushels, by Florida, 10000 Salt
is manufactured in eleven Sta es, the total
product being 1895, ,447 bushels. But as
that is not quite half the amount that is re-
quired for use, we import l4,O94,227 bush
els, of which l0,336,2 ,256 came from England

CALIFORNIA IMMIGRArIoN-The st. Louis cor
respondent of the San Francisco Bulletin writes :
"Iu my last letter had a paragraph touching
the great rush of emigration this season to Call
fornia and which, according to all accounts, is
greater than it has been since the year 1851. In
the paragraph, inadvertently stated that the
number of wagons met by telegraph agent be-
tween Fort Kearny and the Missouri Border was
200 1t should have read 1000. Mr. Stebhlns,
who saw and counted them on his trip in from
the Fort, says there was an average OF four per-
sons to each wagon, making 5000 emigrants in
all, between that post and the Missouri State
line. They comprise all trades, artisan employ
ments, and professions, for the war here bears
with disastrous pressure upon all. large pro-
portion are persons of fair pecuniary MEANS

States. Governor Block, of Nebraska Territory,
lately passed through this city on his return to

cradle numbers of fine stock have been taken
through to California. Among them he saw
horses costing from 5000 to $1,000 each"

CHARITY BEGINS AT HoMe.-The San Francis

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.--The San Francis
co Mirror lately made the following appeal:
"It has been suggested that the beroism of the
daughter of Parson Brownlow, of the Knoxville
Thig, be appropriately recognized in the trans
mission to her Ot some substantial token of re-
membrance by the ladies of California She is
chip of the old block. When a gang of Seces
sionists surrounded the house of the intrepid
Parson, she it was who stepped into their midst,
armed like Minerva with the shield and the spear
of her sire, and defed them to the attack. Let
her know, ladies of California, that such heroism
is appreciated here. Send her some token of
your admiration-you know best what--and the
patriotism of Tennessee will rejoice at the offer
ing"
To which Boruck, of the Spirit Of The Times,
makes this appropriate reply and suggestion
Certainly let it be done, we admire all such
demonstrations And ladies OF California let us
call your attention to the claims of Mrs. Simp
kins, who lives on the next street to you, In that
modest unpretendin house, with sign " PLAIN
sewing done here" She was left widow some
three or four years ago, with five children to sup
port, the eldest 8, and the youngest years old
when gaunt poverty, destitution and misery sur
rounded her house, she it was, only armed Win
needle and thread, stepped into their midst
armed like Minerva, &C., aud beat them back
She is still engaged in the battle, requires AID
and achievements Good, kind ladies OF Cali
fornia let her know, that such herOism is appre
ciated. Send her some token of your admiration
you know best what-it won't take many steps
to reach her, she only lives next street to you A;
and then attend to Miss Brownlow, who lives
away off in Tennessee.

HEAVY TOLL TAKING.-The San Francisco i'm
porters complain to Collector Rankin of the rush
ing manner in which the new Appraisers sample
imports. For instance, p Maury Junior, heavy
liquor importer received six hundred baskets OF
champagne-62 were taken to the Appraisers
Office, and bottle taken from each. So with
claret and other wines. The importers asked to
have the wine returned or the value of it in
cash. The Appraisers answered that it was Gus
tomary to open so many packages and keep. so
many bottles but the importers did not think
so and appealed to Collector Rankin. He inter-
fered and said the practice shall be modified
and if it don't be, the importers are to let him
know. The new Appraisers blame the old ones
for inducting them into this extravaganza, and
promise they wont do so any more.
