Are these things the product of mag
netism? Have they relation to clair
vOyance! A. F., asks the american
Land and LdIU Adriser the following
interesting questions:
What influences are those that
work upon the mind, to call to memo.
ry ones friend. his name, his face, his
very speech, when one is thinking Ol
him least, and in q moment afterward
he appears in his proper person?
= This question was pleasantly sug-
gested yesterday when l was walking
down the street. | suddenly thought
of a friend whom | had not seen fol
many months, and almost the next
moment had the pleasure of speaking
with her.
This, no doubt. is an everyday Oc.
currence. L myself have frequently
had similar experiences, especially in
an intimate friend of mine; he almost
invariably greets me, when call upon
him unexpectedly, by saying, j
thought of you not moment since.
A gentleman relates that when young
he had boon companion, whom he
always knew was near when he had a
sudden JnOuSnG OF nlm.
"If there be such influences at work
as can interrupt train of thought
whether voluntary, and intrude anOth-
er as foreign to the first as Japan is to
America, and that with a suddenness
often startling, would it not be a fine
thing to understand the principles that
undcrlie them? Perhaps they may
consist of some kind of unseen tele-
graph, which, if known, might be inn
proved upon so that messages could be
sent at will. Just think of it: private
telegraphic communication with all
your friends, and enemies, too, for
that matter! What messages of love
would pass! Love-sick swains, too
backward to propose, or prevented by
an indescribable sensation, would then
have no trouble; and the reply, so
sweet, so gentle, might be sent while
the blushing maid was was peeling ap-
pies for the pies, or washing the family
linen. And then how easy it would
be to dun q debtor: every moment,
every hour. if you wished, you might
refresh his unwilling memory. A
thousand messages might be sent
while the errand boy, of old, stood by
the old woman's stand wishing for a
pint of peanuts.
Can not some one solve the question,
and make the human family happy, by
saving postage rates, and shoe leather,
too! / can not say whether the dis

The advance guard of the large
body of migrants from Alsace and
Lorraine who are to settle in the
neighborhoOd of Alexandria, have
reached that city. and are now en-
gagged in prospecting for favorable
sites wherein to settle. Some time
will be devoted by these immigrants
to the inspection of the several tracts
of land which are in the market in
that section of Virginia. They de-
sire not less than 1000 acres in a
body, though they would prefer a
much larger quantity. and will be
governed by the price and location of
the land. The colony now numbers
about two hundred families, and are
skilled in arts, manufactures, and
farming. They are all from that por-
tion of France captured by the Pruss-
ians in the late war, and leave their
native country for America, rather
than become PruSSian subjects
They propose to form a joint stock
company. locate town, and lay out
farms. etc. Their purpose is to ex
clude all others from the colony but
those who come with them, for term
of five years, during which time no
one Of the colony will be authorized
to dispose of any portion of the lands
purchased and embraced within their
survey. If they can be suited in
Virginia on good terms, they say
they can increase their colony to two
thousand families without any
trouble.
