One of tho most curious sights In Paris is said to be
afforded by visit to the vast atelier OF M Bougugnon,
where the whole process of transforming few grains OF
dirty, heavy looking sand into diamond of the purest
water is daily going with tho avowcd purpose of de-
ceving everybody but the buyer. The sand employed,
and upon which everything depends is found in the for
este Of Fontanbcau and enjoys great reputation in
the trade that large quantities exported The color
ing matter for initiating emerds, rubics and sapphires
entirely mineral and has been brought to high perfec
tion by M Bourguignon Many operators are employed
whose business it is to polish the coored stones and line
the false pearls with fish scales and the scales of
the roach and acc chiefly employed for this purpose
They must be stripped from the fish while living or the

The London Saturday RsUiev comments pretty
plainly on Mrs Julia Branch, the female apostle Of
Free Love, as follows:
The chief novelty about Mrs. Branch is her
style. She speaks remarkably we'll. We cannot
refuse our admiration to her terse, epigrammatic,
biting manner of speech. She is skillfu in the art
of condensation. Close, clear, and pointed is her
famous saying. 1t is Woman's Rights resolved into
its prima 4aafeTia. She declares her right to bear
children when she will and to whom she Will-her
right to accept or refuse any love that comes TO
her'-her right to love when she will, where she
will, and whom she will This is exhaustive-it
embraces, as Mrs Branch is nobly prepared to do,
the whole human race. l. is the very premmican of
insOence and nastiness The only thing that strikes
us as at all strange is, that with these views Mrs.
Branch and the Free Lovers should 60 about ser
monizing and speech making on this very common
every day matter. Here in London, unless its re.
putatiOn is sadly belied this iadys theory reduced
70 daily or nightly practice This sort Of marriage
is old IS history and experience. 1t completely
fuliIls Mrs Branehs definition. In Norton street
and Wych street there are those who accept or
refuse any love that comes to Them and who not
only claim but exercise their right 'to love when
they will, whom 'they will, and where they win.
So much for the fact; and with this before US, we
can only recommend Mrs Branch-though very
likely she does not require any such suggestion-to
be the great example which she paints. 1t would
be infinitely more honest than her present social
position One difficulty alone present. itself to our
thorough comprehension Of wOman's rights, as thus
eloquently and intellgbly announced. If woman
has the right TO love whom she will it follows as
rights and duties correaive, that there must be
a power in woman to enforce her rights Tsrquin's
crime is, Of course by this definition, impossible
and, as among the Free Lovers everything changes
places, we cannot but ask whether Luoretis is to
take Tarquins place? If so, it is high time to in
augurate a Mans Rights Convention. Force must
meet force"

THE HU0HEs IEsrRUS1EsT AID TIE oczAE TEIn>
eRAPH.--Is is not generally known though fact
That Pros DAVID HUeHEs, the inventor Of the most
useful improvement ever made in the Telegraph,
conceived the idea Of his great invention while re-
siding in our neighboring town Of Springfield, and
there constructed the first model of the HUoHEs in
strument His father is now living in GAINESVILLE.
The n. 7. Herald gives the following explanation
Of the HUGHES instrument, and its applicability to
the uses Of the ocean telegrsph:
HIf anything is to be accomplished, il will be-
in the opinion Of competent judges. only through
the use Of Mr.. Hughes apparatus. and the aaoP-

but it works upon the plan Of using but one eieo'
trical impulse per letter, while Houses requires
seven, and Morses thTes and q half. one lmpuIse

and the current for the transmitting station intu-
enees the magnet at the receiving station, end not

force is uudisturbed and but tenth Of the usual

as IL il believed from experience and observation,
enables a communication TO be made both ways
over the line at once, and We understand that the
ingenious inventor has offered TO transmit ten
words westward and ten words eastward, OF twenty
words per minute, through the Atlantic cable regu
larry and continuously. The type wheel is govern

ROBERT ]. PORTER TS The State.
Presentment for gaming. The charge is, that
con the 4th day of Nov, 1856, there was cleo.
ton held in the State of Tennessee for President
and Vice President of the United States OF Ameri.
ca, and that while said election was pending, Rob-
ert J. Porter did bet money, goods, &c, upon
said election with divers citizens &C." The defen.
daut was convicted and fined. The only question
is made upon the record of the Court to qussh the
presentment upon molten, on the ground that there
was no such election pending but that the election
referred to for electors for President and Vice
President.
This question is not now an open one, and has
been several times before us, and held to be good
charge under statutes 1t is true that the cleo
ton, in FORM is for electors under the Constitution,
but II is in substance for President and Vice Pres
dent. The contest is between the candidates for
President and not electors No voter enquiries into
the qualifications Of the latter and their respective
merits are not canvsssed. They are only regarded
as the media through which the people speak for or
against their respective fsvorites who are placed
in competition for these high Offices f-ofenders,
against this most valuable law made TO preserve the
purity Of elections and the good morals of the peo
pie, could be efectuslly shielded by rule so tech
meal as that commended for, the law would be al.
ways evaded by making their bets upon the presi.
Dental candidates instead of the electors as there
is such election according to the argument But
the construction we give is calculated to promote
the true policy of the law. by holding all who bet
upon these elections, liable whether they adopt
form or the other, in making their Wagers.
The substance is the same, and 80 IS the mis-
chief, and We will not reverse, upon mere tech
nicality. There is no error. Let the Judgment be
affirmed. CARUTHERs.
