HoUP-LAl-There is n wild rumor buzz
zing around that the Rev. Mr.. Halstead,
OF the MtcLiiyencer not only amazed his
friends but DELIGHTED an enthusiastic con-
course of people YESTERDAY afternoon by
the execution Of some wonderful feats on
the flying trapeze which has re-
Gently been erected adjoining the
InteLigencer building. AS he
appeared in the second story window of
the Theatre Comique," with button
hole boquet between his teeth, and ar
rayed in richly trimmed silk tights that
showed oft perfection, his great mus
cular development, he caused a burst of
admiration from the small boys and
young men that even Blondin
might have envied when tight
roping Niagara Falls. We hayen't
much faith in this story, but
give it for what it is worth. It's handy
thing to have theatre under ones nose,
SO that when the brain is fatigued relax
alton may be had by either joining the
mirthful audience or participating in the
play yourself All! Halstead, we envy
you, and will sigh until we are equally
fortunate.

MR.. III. II. STENENS:-

NJ X. IL. IL. 81 I; ENS.-
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1864, with
ScrOfula, which came out in large sores
and ulcers on his leg and hip. His leg was
swelled more than twice its natural size.
He had several doctors of high standing in
their prOfession-two from Boston and
three from CharleSt pwn-withOut getting a
bit better. He was obliged 10 lie wherever
he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given M
all hopes of his living We were told TO try
Negetine, the great blood remedy: and he
had taken it but a short time before we
could see a great change. The sores run so
bad that we had to change the cloths four
or five times a day. Still, he was getting
better: for he could move his limbs and
help himself little. He was soon able to
sit up in bed, and. by constant use of Nege-
tine, IL has cured him. He has lame leg,
which he will probably have for life; but
we all honestly believe IL we had used
Negetine before we had bothered with
those doctors. ii would have saved the use
OF his leg. and restored IL 10 natural health.
i hope all those troubled with Scrotula
will read this testimony ofme and my son,
who is now " ell and able to speak for him.

Don't scowl; it spoils your face Before

your nose, intersected by parallel lines run

eyebrows; and oh! how much older you look
for it Scowling is habit that steals upon
us unawares. We frown when the light is
too strong and when it is too weak. We tie
our brows into knot when we are thinking,
and knit them even more tightly when we
cannot think. There is no denying that there
are plenty of things to scowl about. The

The Cause of Modern Melancholy

Five and twenty years ago boys appetite
Tor enjoyment was not at all seriously blunt

round Of holiday amusements being fatiguing.
He seldom if ever enjoyed the intoxicating
bliss of beholding his name and his achieve
ments set forth in type Now change has
come over all educational establishments.
The work OF the term, which has generally
superseded the old-fashioned ''half," serves
as foil for round of matches, regattas,
reviews, ''theatricals," concerts, popular
lectures, athletic sports, &C., all duly chronic
led in the local Journals, and perhaps even in
the metropolitan papers Examinations are
more frequent, more solemn and attract
more public attention.
Thus an energetic boy who is ''good ali
round passes from one bout of competition
to another with little interval during his
school career. If home, as is natural, wishes
to hold its own juvenile favor, it must utilize
the multiplied opportunities Of amusements,
so that the holidays pass in downright dis
sipatiOn. At the universities the perpetual
emulation goes on in an intensified form,
while the newspaper notoriety which is bound
to enhance the various passions of young
aspirants to distinction is more pronounced
than ever. Suddenly all the strain of personal
rivalry is removed, the stimulus of frequent
distinction IS withdrawn, and the hero of
an enthusiastic circle of admirers settles
down as commonplace person to a mo-
notonous routine of business. Surely it is not
altogether strange that for time life should
appear fiat, stale and Improbable. The more
keen the stress of the probationary period,
The stronger is the reaction when the definite
of the youth against his fellows are
succeeded by the vague, desultory warfare
with the world.-Lon0on Saturday Reuieso.

But it a-thinking how wei! it applies,
Not merely to coats, but to women and men,

Marvellous m MeMOry of Il FOur-Ycar.Old
Bow,
From the Boonville (Mo.) Advertiser]

From the Boonville (Mo.) Advertiser.]
James Martin Williams, beautiful little
boy residing with his parents in this city, has
lately given evidences & powers of memory
that astonish every one. He is not yet four
years old, and only learned his letters few
months since. Unlike most persons who
possess one faculty in excess of others, he is
perfec. in all. His eye bespeaks intelligence,
his mind is well matured in everything for
his age, and in his demeanOr he is childlike
and winning. Recently a reporter of the
Adoertiser visited him at his home, and with
others witnessed the most wonderful answers
to questions given him by his father Sitting
on his fathers knee, he gave prompt replies
to his parent, telling the names Of all the
planets, their characteristics, their distance
from the sun and their positions in the heav-
ems. In history he proved very encyclope-
dia of knowledge. The ancient kings, their
wars, the rise and fall of the Roman empire.
the career of Bonaparte, the times of the
death and the age of the rulers of England;
settlement of this country. and similar facts,
were as familiar to him as the alphabet to an
older person. He named the capital of every
State in the Union and of every foreign corn-
try, and evinced knowledge of the Scrip
lures, the only parallel of which was Christ
in the Temple. He repeated whole chapters
just as though rafting off the verest COM
monplace remarks or other children of his
age.
The first indication of this marvellous
faculty came to his parents in this way: They
are religious people, and each morning read
from the Scriptures before prayer. Shortly
after the exercise one morning, some months
ago, his mother was astonished to hear him
repeating, word for word, the lines from the
Bible which he had heard read an hour or so
before. She called him to her, and found
that be could recite other portions of the holy
book. She commenced teaching him his let
tiers, and in an hour and half he had learned
the whole. He progressed with wonderful
rapidity, and soon could spell. A physician
was consulted, and he advised them to keep
the boy away from books, and not allow him
to study, as his health would not allow it.
Since that time he has been read to by his
father, and now remembers everything he
has heard.
His parents are intelligent people, in ordi-
nary circumstances, and can not in any way
account for the remarkable memory of their
child. He is a marvel, and astounds all who
bear him.

REV. MIR. WOOLFOLK'S WEATHER
THEORY.
What the Scientific American has to say
about 1t.

The Scientific Anaerican lidicules the theory
advanced by the Rev. L. B. Voolfolk, in
recent lectures delivered in Cincinnati, Chi
cago, and other leading cities of the States,
regarding climatic shiftings by the explosion
of artillery. Our scientific contemporary
talks at some length in this strain:
He (Mr. Woolfolk) knows that the south
wind is always on the surface of the earth,
except during storms, and even then the
north wind never has but one track at once
| Consequently if we make q track for the north
wind and keep it there, we shall have, every
| where else, prevailing south wind and Il
genial climate. 1t is just as clear as that two
| and two make twenty-five. Now storms are
| always the result of conflict between north
wind and south wind. 1t is we'll known that
! heavy cannonading always raises a storm
! by breaking a path for tie north wind.
Therefore keep up a deuce of racket where
you want the nJrth wind to blow, and you'll
certainly have the balmiest of south winds
for ever blowigg right and left.
lib" learned lecturer proposes-and very
wlst.y, seeing that the South Sea islanders
are not able to resent the impOsitiOn-prO-
poses, we repeat, to make the Pacific Ocean
the track of the boreal winds by a perpetual
fen de .joie on the Aleuian Islands. We are
told by the Cincinnati Gazette that he was
eloquent in depicating the results Of such an
easy and beautiful read justment of the winds.
The deserts of Asia and America would be
visited with seasonable rains; warm weather
would blow up the Atlantic (Dot like dynamite,
we trusD into the Arctic Ocean, bearing
before it tropical waters, until the arctic
coasts, swept with tropical winds, would be-
come habitable; and the arctic seas. flooded
with tropical air and tropical water, would
become the highway of commerce, and ves-
sells would sail through open water at the pole,
and every goosebone would become immac-
ulately translucent, except in the South Sea
islands, and as the people there do not keep
geese, the change would signify nothing to
them.
A word of admOnition here. This is the
Centennial year. We know how it began,
and can family estimate what terrific rever-
berations will arise from time to time toward
the eliminating day of the year. Now that
Mr.. Voolfolk has spoken, we know what
terrible succession of artic waves we are
liable to bring down upon ourselves, blasting
our crops and making the derided Ulster q
Centennial necessity, while the shiftless
Sandwich islanders and the rest will bask in |
endless south winds, needing not so much as |
a pocket handkerchief for protection from |
weather. With the earnestness of conviction |
we say: Don't! For heavens sake, keep still.
If the yelling must be done and the powder
burnt, ,llet them be transported to the Alentian
Islands and discharged there It will be hard
for the Aleuts; but they are few and feeble,
and know nothing of Centennial joys and fears.
And as for the people south of them, let
them-no: that involves question of morals
which is without our sphere.
