Something to Bring the Stars Nearer.

A Georgian of scientific attainments, residing at Darien, has discovered that lenses for telescopes can be manufactured from the virgin drip of rosin.

The main difficulty is in securing a favorable opinion at headquarters here. My Darien correspondent is unfortunately not situated for pushing his discovery, and I can only aid him with my pen and tongue. He reminds me, and I repeat it for public edification, that no less a person than Mr. Calhoun stood in the way of Professor Morse’s electric telegraph, and Mr. Stephens says that he was the only Southern Congressman who stood by Morse through thick and thin. Gentlemen who are conversant with science assure me that the Darien discovery is worthy of a thorough test.— Washington Letter in the Augusta Chronicle.

A gentleman who took to medicine late in life said to a friend, “ You know the old proverb—at 40 a man must be a fool or a physician ?” “ Yes," was the reply; “ but, doctor, don’t you think he can be both ?” The New World's Dispensary and Invalids’ Hotel at Buffalo, N. Y., is now completed and ready to receive patients. A German painter once obtained permission to paint some great court ceremony in which the Emperor William and his son Fritz were the ceiftral figures. The Emperor asked the artist to show him the sketch of his picture. On examining it he noticed that the Crown Prince was represented standing with one foot on the steps of the throne dais. He at once asked a bystander for a pencil, and altered the sketch, which was returned to the audacious artist with the significant words “not yet” written under the figure of the Prince.
