ARTIFICIAL PREC1ous SToNEs.-A very curious
and interesting report was presented to the French
Academy of Science, short time since, by an irge
nious mechauician, NJ. Gaudn on the result of many
years experiments, having for their object the pro-
duction of artificial precious stones. Afrer twenty
years labor NJ, Gaudn has succeeded in tabrcating
limitations of jewels perfect to deceive the most
practced eye. The limitations of the ruby, the most
precious of all stones, has reached rare degree Of
beauty and utility, for it is preferred by competent
watChmakers as pivOts for watches to the real ruby
hopes aud expects to be able to produce ruby and
sapphire of a sufficient size to be used in the
tacture Of chronomeers and clocks. There Il
great many shops in Paris devoted entirely to the
sale of false Jewels the windows of which present as
brilliant appearance those OF most magnificent
6iOutiers The rarest designs and elegant mountings
copied in the limitations The price of each OF
the stones prepared by NJ. Gaudin will not exceed
frame. He will thus enable the trade OF Paris to Offer
their customers beautiful ornaments at q wonderful
cheap rate. Paris letter.

more than two hundred birds, of all species,
from the robin to the wren, which had a bountiful
table spread before them in the yard of millet and
other Ito them) deicaCies of the season. 1t was
really amentable but beautiful sight! They looked
like SO many young turkeys, ducks and chickens,
They partook freely of the hospitality of the mansion
and then would hy from branch to branch in the
shrubhery around, singing and chirplng, as though

SHOCKING AFFAIR.-On the night of the 18th inst,
the dwelling of Mr.. NJ. Strattan, in Clinton county
Ohio, was destroyed by fire, and Mr. Strattan himself

LAND SPECULATION IN lowA.-A letter, in recent
number of the Dubuque Herald, written from the
Usage land Office, Iowa. says that there were about
two thousand persons in attendance on the land sales
and that great competition exists between spectators
and the settlers. This competition has been carried
to bidding $0l per for wild land. The settlers
club numbering seven hundred and had determined
that every settler should have the privilege of bidding
OFF quarter section of land in addition to quar-
ter covered by preenption at Government price. At
tempts were made to settle all difficulties this basis,
by the settlers furnishing names of persons who were
bidders but this had not been done up to the time
our informant left. AS consequence very few tracts
Of land were sold.
The capital OF Minnesota is just now the scene of
scrambng and corruption. The land grants to rail
roads to he disposed Of aud the cormorants are
gathered there from all quarters striving for grab.
Chicago, we'll other places is pretty well repre-
sented. The potcians-those who speculate upon
their postons-are there, all engaged in a general
scramble for the spos of the land appropriation.
