ARTIFICIAL MAHoGANY.-The following me-
thod Of giving any species Of wood Of a close
grain the appearance Of mahogany in texture,
density and polish, is said to be practised in
France with such general success that the best
Judges are incapable Of distinguishing between
the imitation and mahogany. The surface is
first planed smooth, and the wood is then rub
bed with a solution Of nitrous acid. One ounce
Of Dragons blood is dissolved in nearly q pint
of spirits Of wine ; this and one-third of an.
ounce Of carbonate OF soda are then to be mix
ed together, and. filtered. and the liquid in this
THU, state Is to be laid on with a soft brash.-
This process is to be repeated, and in q short
interval aftepvard the wood possesses the ex-
ternal appearance Of mahogany. When the
polish diminishes in brilliancy, it may be restor-
ed by the use Of a little cold drawn linseed oil.

VALUE OF LIGHTNING RoDs.-In May, 1852,
a storm approached the spacious powder maya
zine at Galgnuburg, in Silesia. A brilliant fash
of lightning took place, accompanied by such
a dreadful crash Of thunder that the sentinel
was Supplied, and was for a while senseless.-
Some laborers employed at the works Of the
fortress, about two hundred and fifty PAGES
from the magazine, saw the lightning issue from
the cloud, and strike the point of the conductor.
This case Of successful protection forms a re-
markable contrast with many well known cases
in which the most appalling disasters have been
caused by a neglect to furnish lightning rods to
magazines. In August, 1867, . large quantity
Of gunpowder, belonging to the Republic Of
Venice, had been deposited in the vaults of the
church Of st. Nazaire, at Brescia. The tower
Of the church was struck with lightning; the
electric fluid descended to the vaults and explo-
ded above 100000 pounds of gunpowdeH-
About three thousand persons persisted by this
catastrophe, and nearly one-sixth Of the fine
city of Brescia was destroyed. Owing to- the
same want of protection, . magazine of four
hundred barrels Of ~gunpowder was blown up
in Sumatra, in 1882, by an electrical discharge;
and at Luxembourg, in 1907, a magazine with
twelve tons of gunpowder, was exploded by
lightning, and the lower part Of the town laid
in ruins.

The BoLros CLA1RvoYANr.-The Manches-

THE BoLToN CLAIRvoYANr-The Manches-
ter Guardian contains a long account of the Sc
cond interview between Mr.. Haddock, a friend
of Sir John Franklin, and the Bolton clairvoy-
ant. She professed to have had interviews with
Sir John Franklin and Sir James Ross, describ-
ed their position in the ice, with sundry other
minutia. She said she had some refreshment
with Sir John Franklin, who had his provisions
in thick tin boxes. He had also some hard
meat in q bag tub. He would be out of the
ice, she said, in less than nine months. That
it was ten minutes past eleven by Sir Johns
time; and a quarter past ten a good while after
by Sir James Ross's time. That she went a
good way further than Sir James Ross, where
it was very dark, and where the stars went
round and did not twinkle, but she was sure it
was quite ridiculous to attempt to find a road
for a ship over there. That she found Sir John
in a house made of large blocks of ice, about
nine yards from the ship. That Sir John had
been a great way over the country, but haze re-
turned to his ships. That Sir John franklin
had seen the natives, but not Sir James Ross;
and that there were two ships on their way
home, which would bring good news. The
statements Of this girl have excited great in
terest all over the country. It has excited at
tention at the Admiralty, and the matter is said
to have been inquired after in high quarters.

OPENING OF THE GRAVE OF DIxwELL.-We
learn from the New Haven Palladium that tho
bones of Col. John Dixwell, one of the renown-
ed Judges who caused King Charles the First
to be executed, were exhumed from their rest
ing place, a few days since, in the rear of the
Centre Church in that city, where they had lain
since the year 1858, the time Of his DEATH
The skeleton was in tolerably good preserva-
ton. The proceeding was instituted by Mr..
John Dixwell, of Boston, a descendant of the
Regicide, who is about to erect a monument
over the grave. The bones were gathered up,
enclosed in a small box, and re-committed to
the grave, where they will probably never be
disturbed again. Dir. Dixwell is the lineal de-
scendant of the Regicide, and would be the pre-
sent heir of his large estates in England, should
the attainder be removed.

NO description can convey the slightest mo-
ton Of the way in which Holland has been ga
thered, particle by particle, out Of the waste Of
waters, of the strange aspect of the country,
and the incessant vigilance and wondrous pre-
cautions by which i is preserved. Holland is,
in the fullest sense, an alluvion Of the sea. 1t
consists Of sand and mud rescued from the
ocean, and banked up on all sides. Produced
by the most dexterous and indefatigable exer-
lions, it can be maintained only by artificial
means. If the efforts by which It was redeem
ed from the waters were to be relaxed, the
ocean would re-assert its rights, and the whole
kingdom would be submerged. The slightest
accident might sweep Holland into the deep
It was once nearly undermined by an insect
Indeed, the necessity of destroying insects is
so urgent, that the stork, q great feeder upon
them, is actually held in veneration, and almost
every species Of bird ia religiously protected
from injury. Bird-nesting is strictly prohibited
by law. The drift Of all this is palpable enough.
But it is curious that the very existence Of a
great country should depend upon such guaran-

HENRY Clay ON THE UNION OF THE STATES.
in New York, on the evening of the 2ad ult.,
a large crowd assembled in front of Alderman
Benson's dwelling for the purpose of serena
ding Mr.. Clay. The New York Express has a
long account of the proceedings. W. make
the following extract from Mr.. Clay's remarks
on the occasion, in response to the prolonged
call of the multitude for his appearance. AZ
ter stating that he was about to proceed to
Washington, to attend to his senatorial duties,
Mr.. Clay said:
Gentlemen, though / shall not probably re-
main long in the councils of my country; yet,
while l am there, you will find me now as lever
was. l find, gentlemen, on my return to Con-
gress, the two great political parties of the
Union in a state of equilibrium, in one of the
Houses, at least-and, among the many inter-
ests of the country, over which shall carefully
watch, | will guard none with such Jealous care
as the preservation Of the Union of our States
inviolable. Gentlemen may think that liberty is
sufficient, and that the individual States would
be more prosperous if the Union were dissoly-
ed; but | tell you that, without u~nion-perfect
union-our liberty will be of but little avail
With respect TO my principles and my policy,
you all were long ago acquainted, and ! would
only say of them, that they are now the sam
as they ever were. X x = Mr.. Clay con-
tinued: Gentlemen, seek but to do my duty to
my country. I return to the Senate with no
personal object-no personal aim in view-no
ambition but to act as may best conduce to the
safety of our Union. l seek no higher eleva-
ton than l now have. / an satisfied, and sim
cerely grateful for the continued honors with
which my beloved countrymen have overwhelm-
ed r,e, and l shall do my best to forward their
interests in return.

suits of some OF the California mercantile adj
ventures. They are not, ~iazgeneral, what the
parties interested would care to repeat. The
profits on freight will be sadly cut into, in ma
