Col. Fremont AFTER EMERALDs.-
The New York Sun has the following:
One Of the most distinguished jewellers
in this city has, within few weeks past
set in gold three Of the most valuable EN-
erads ever seen in this country. They
were left with him by the wife of Col. Ere
mont. The emeralds were presented tc
Mrs. Fremont by Col. Fremont on his re-
turn to the United States. In size and
brlliancy, these emeralds will vie with the
most gorgeous Of those described by the
Spanish writers in their chronicles Of the
wealth of Mexico and Peru at the perioc
of the Spanish conquest.
Those who are at all familiar with those
chronicles, know that the Mexican anl
Peruvian Emperors and mobiles, had in
their possession an immense number o
these stones, some of them surprising any
thing that has ever been seen. The Span
iards were never able TO learn from whence
they were procured, such was the jealousy
of the Indians and their power of keeping
secrets from the white man.
Traditions affirmed that they were fount
in the North of Mexico, but no adventures
was able to find their source. How Col
Fremont came by the three we have allud
ed to, is not for us to say, nor arc we q
present permitted to name the jeweller en-
trusted to their setting; but we may say
they were not oil the emeralds in the pos
session of the gallantCol. when he returned

GOOD STORY.

The following good story is told of an Alabama
Sheriff:
Court was IN session, and amid tlie multiplicity
of business which crowded upon linn at the time,
he stopped at the door of beautiful widow on the
slnny side of thirty, who, by the way, had often
bestowed melting gances upon the Sheriff afore-
said. He was admit ed and soon tie widow APP
peared. The confusion and delight which tie
arrival of the visitor had occasioned, set of 10
greater advantage than US al the captivating
charms of the widow M. Her cheeks bore
the beautiful blended tints of the apple blosscm;
her lips resembled the rose buds upon which the
morning dew yet fingered ;her eyes were like the
quiver of CUPID, the glances of love and terder-
ness with which tIey We're filled, resembling ar

| A deeper blush than usual mantled the cheeks
of the fair widow-with downcast eyes, whose
glances were centered upon her beautiful feet,
half concealed by the flowing drapery, gently
patting the floor, she with equal candor replied
"Sir, your attachment is reciprocated."
For some time the Sheriff maintained ain aston
ished silence, at length he said
ssMatlam, will You proceed to court!"
"Proceed to COURT" replied the lady, with &
merry laugh, then shaking her beautiful head size
added
| ssNo sir! this is leap year. l will not take ad-
vantage of the license therein granted to our sex,
and therefore desire that you should proceed to

CLOUD NAVIGATION TO CALIFORNIA
The intelligent and enlightened public o
New York are now listening to a very at
tractive scheme of travelling through the
Clouds to California, by means Of a bal
loon, which is thus described by On indi
vidual who gave public lecture on the
subject:
A frame of steel rods, eight hundred fee
long, placed six feet apart, secured By
wire work, covered by q bag of vulcanize'
India rubber. This balloon would be o
sufficient buoyancy to sustain iorty-twt
thousand pounds weight. Suspended to the
balloon by means of cords &C., a spindle
shaped saloon, one hundred and eighty feel
in length, and ten feet in diameter, with
glass doors, and other modern convenienS
ces for the accommodation of passengers.
Above the saloon, steam engine of about
twelve horse power, connecting with two
wheels to propel the vessel. A helm, at
tached TO the balloon and guided by suit
able apparatus on the saloon. This ship
is expected to perform the voyageto Cali
fornia in five days.
A model of this spindle shaped saloon,
was lately set in motion at the Taberna-
Gle before large audience, who professed
themselves perfectly satisfied with the ex-
pertinent. When this machine leaves,
we're off for the diggings.-Detroit Free
Press.

morable night of which have above

districts beyond the Rocky Mountains.
