LAMPS WITHOUT OIL.-It will be an
odd thing if we some day fill our lamps
with iron filings instead of oil, and
dispense with wicks. Yet an expert
mentalist in Berlin has shown that
a brilliant, lasting light may be obtain
ed by burning iron. lie took straight
bar magnet of some power, and sprink-
led iron filings on one of its poles. Ap-
plying to this the flame Of burning gas
or spirit, it took fire, and continued to
burn for some time as freely as any
ordinary combustible materials do.
The filings arrange themselves in accor-
dance with magnetic force, and however
closely they may appear to be placed of
course no two of the metallic filings
are parallel, and consequently certain
amount Of air is confined as in metallic
sponge.

SENATOR LOGAN, who was quite III
just prior to the commencement of the
present session of Congress, amused him
self during his eonvalescence by writing
comedy entitled Experiences in the
Life of Congressman," which was
performed under his direction at abe
large boara ing house where he resides.
Il is clever production, based upon the
writer's own experience and observation,
and it was well acted by amateurs.
The central figure, OF course, is Cone
9ressm0n Green, and around him re-
volve Lane7zady, a bookseller, q
Patent seeker, two Sisters of Char
ity, and half dozen Place Hunters of
both sexes. Senator Logan has display
ed thorough knowledge OF stage bus

gentleman ON Aberdeen street is
now thoroughly convinced of the efficacy
of prayer. His wife has been troubled
for years with an affection of the eyes,
so severe that it prevented her from dis
tinguishing objects at distance. She
went to an eminent revivalist last week
and was prayed over, and PROPOSED to
have thoroughly recovered her sight.
Her husband doubted this, and was
guilty of an impious fraud TO determine
the precise amount of cure that had
been wrought lie procured nice
long auburn hair-his wtfe's hair is
black-and put it OF the shoulder of
hls coat. 1t was dusk when he came TO
the door; the color of the hair closely
assimilated with that OF his coat; he
was full forty feet from his wife. She
came to the door, Did she recognize
him? Did she see the hair? II is pre-
sumed she did, because in less than one
second she had dubbed him over the
head with the stove-lifter and slratched
enough hair from his devoted head to
set up a factory of mourning rings

That is low the ring came TO be doing

whom did the ring rightfnlly belong at
the time it was abstracted from she let
