WIGGINS. / His name is Wiggins, as it rhymes with Spriggins, and the Milesian Higgins and snch like fry; He could beat an Ogeechee nigger in scientific figgerin' on the social status of a quadrilateral lie. In solar science he could bid defiance to Sir Humphrey Davy or Gay Lnssac; He could form conjunctions, or other functions, without compunctions, with Mars and Yenus, that would beat Medina's, - . and other planets in the solar track. His stock commercial was Hind and Hersohell, Humboldt, Strabo, Kepler, I Marias; f Astrology, Biology, Demonology, Cyclon#ology, and the nebula in S&ggitarius.
