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. With well planned fictions and shrewd rel>?M malrfl nredictions of wind (- and weather; Sat all his guessing turned out distressing and as depressing as a much soaked leather. Sow, heat telluric, and gas sulphuric, and throes usuric rend earth and rook, So, Wiggins trying, his prophecying, his long tongue lying sets women crying and strong men flying to avoid the shock. But this seismologist, this Perkiniteologist bow no apologist for his foolish prank. His egregious blander is a nine days wonder. He may go to thnnder, the Canadian crank. tkvl pet. Ho Exception.
