MISNEsoTA LAND SALEs.-The Minnesota
Land Sales are not likely to very materially
strength hen the public revenue just at this
time. The settlers have banded together to
save their homes. aud are more than a match
for the spectators. The way the settlers
worked matters al the St. Cloud Land offica,
IS thus described by one of our Minnesota
exchanges.
The first pieco of lard offered was started
at Sl.25 per acre, the minimum price, Tie
people stood ground very cool and calm :.
and ailer the land had been duly dwelt upon
d while. five cents more was bid. This five
cents advance being cried sufficient time;
FIVE cents more was offered. And so OF, du-
ring the whole day, this piece of land was
dwelt upon gradually rising at the rate of five
cents bid. Nca- the time Of closing the
sale for the day, ii had reached tue rna.n,i-
cent proportion Of 81, 600 per acre, and was
daily knocked down al that sum But on
looking arounp for the bidder he was not 10
be found, and one Of the crowd observed
that " he had gone home after his old stock
ing, and the land officers had better wait i'll
he came back with the god" The land Off
ce:s respectfully declined waiting longer
than the next morning, at which time they
put up again for sale the same piece of land'
when the five cents a bid competition for i
was resumed, and proceeded as on the pre-
yiods day.
BY This means the settlers could prevent a
sale for years.

FAmBAHKs' ScALEs.-W Weighed in the bal
ance Of just criticism, all are obliged to
admit that the scales of Fairbanks s. co.
are, without exception, the best ever inven-
ted. IS { know whereof we affirm, because
we have tested their value, and are fully sat
isied Of their superior merits. The intro
i4c.ion Of these scales has wrought q reyolu-
,ion in the transaction Of vari Us business,
and their accuracy IS such that uniformity
in weights has been established all over the
country, thus making them NATIONAL, L.
GALIzs D >TANDAED. Nor are hey confined
to the United States; they have found their
way to almost evory part Of tie civilized
world, and are adapted to the standards of all
countries, so that it may be said all nations,
if not weighed in these balances at least
weigh by them.

the courtyard of the Tuileries to be
shown TO the Emperor. His Majesty,

Empress examined it from one of the
windows. The balloon, which is
somewhat in the form of whale. is
provided with paddle.wheels, worked
by small engine, and made to act
in any direction by means of a rudder
placed at one of the extremities. The
whole was kept captive at height Of
some yards, and executed different
maneuvers, among which were cir
