, L John James Aadubon.
There never was a man .who took so
much interest in the race of birds as John
James Audubon',' whose death to6k; place
on the 27th of Jahuiry, 1S51. On ac
count of : what he has accomplished in
making the acquaintance with the birds
of this country, and the description he has
given of them, h3 has. rendered himself
famous all over the civilized world. .
Audubcyi was born ia X.ouisiana" about
the year 1782. In his sixteenth year,
Audubon was sent to France, to pursue
his education. He returned in about two
years, full of love for the homes of the
birds. It was not long before he com
menced a collection of drawings, "r which
have since swelled into a series of splen
did volumes, called the ."Birds of " Ameri
ca." A greater and more valuable work
was probably never contributed to science
by the labors of a single individual ' than
this. The designs werelbegun inUhe
State of Pennsylvania, on a farm given
him by his father, situated near the city
of Philadelphia. There, amid . large
tracts of woodland, he pursued his ram
bles from the first faint streaks of day
until late in the evening, when, tvet wiih
dew, and loaded with specimens of native
birds, he returned to his quiet home. It
was in this place too, that he was married
to a woman, who, it would appear, was
every way worthy of him, and a fit part
ner of a man of his tastes..
He went into, mercantile business for
the purpose of obtaining means to enable!
mm to go on witn nis researcnes. uut
he was unfortunate, and failed. Perhaps
his love for birds and flowers unfitted him
in a measure for other business. Scarce
ly any one,- save his wife and children,
encouraged him to go on. . ; It w;as impos
sible, however, to divert his mind from
the birds. He undertook long and tedious
ww 1.1
journeys, lie ransacked tne. woods, tne
lakes, "the prairies, and the shores of the
Atlantic. He spent years away from his
family. '-Yet will you believe ii," .says
he, -'I had no orj jet in view than simply
to become acquainted, for my 'own sake,
wi h nature. Never, for a moment, did
I conceive the idi.a"of bet oming useful to
my fellow-men, until I accidentally form
ed an acquaintance with Charles Lucitn
Bonaparte, at Philadelphia, on the 5th of
April, 18-24."
It was soon afterward that Bonaparte,
having examined Audubon's large collec
tion of beautiful drawings, said to him,
"Do you know that you are a great man?"
In reply, Audubon asked him what he
meant. "Sir," said Bonaparte, "I con
sider you the greatest ornithologist in
the world." He then suggeste 1 to him
the importance of collecting and offering
to the public the treasures which he had
amassed in his wild rambles. The idea
seemed like a beam of new light to Au
dubon's mind, and gave him a new im
pulse in the prosecution of his favorite
study. '
Two years after his first interview with
Lucien Bonaparte, he sailed for England.
This was in the year 1826. Whtn he
arrived in Liverpool, there was not a
solitary individual that he knew, or to
whom he had a letter of introduction.
However, it was not long before he found
friends. His works were received with
great favor. They astonished everybody.
Men of genius sought his acquaintance ;
learned societies extended to him the hand
of fellowship ; the houses of the nobility
were opened to him.' A few: years be
fore he had been rejected when he ap
plied ta become a member of the Lyce
um of1 Natural History, in rhiladelpnia.
Now he received the homage of the most
distinguished men of science in the old
world., '
Before the close of 1830, his first vol
ume of the "Birds of America" was is
sued. It was received with enthusiasm.
Royal names headed the subscription list.
It was no wonder that our English neigh
bors were in such raptures when they
saw the pictures of our birds. .Some of
the birds, and birds of great beauty, they
had never seen and scarcely heard of be
fore. The whole race of humming birds
was, in a great measure, unknown,' even
in the scientific world, until, Audubon
brought them into notice.
Soon after the publication of. his first
volume, Audubon . returned to America
to explore anew the woods, of the. middle
and Southern States. - Some two years
after that, he bent his steps northward,
and explored the forests of Maine, New
Brunswick, the shores of the Bay of Fun
dy, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence! and
the coast of Labrador..
Again, after having made a large ad
dition to his stock of drawings, he crossed
the ocean, and, in 1S34, the. second vol
ume of his works was published. The
three following yt ars were spent in ex
ploring Florida aud T,' xas. A vessel was
pliced at his diposal by the Government
of the United States, to aid him in this
enterprise. At the close of this period,
he published the fourth and; lust volume
of plates, and the fifth volume of descrip
tions. This whole work , comprises four
hundred and thirty-five plates, containing
more than one thousand figures.
In 1S39, he returned for the last time
to his native country, and established
himself, with his family, at his beautiful
residence on the banks, of the Hudson
Here he commenced the, re-publication of
his "Birds of America," in several large
octavo volumes, which were completed in
1S14. - - ;
After this, he commenctd another ser
ies of rambles, with a. view, of making
making himself acquainted with the qua
drupeds of this country,' as : he had done
with the . birds j and in due time, some
volpmes of the "Quadrupeds of America,"
in a style similar to his; first t work, were
published. ' - ' " - ' , :
1 Audubon used to say that he had no
faith in genius ; that a" man ' could make
himself what he pleased by labor, and, by
using every, moment of. time,- the mmd
might be kept improving to the end of
life. "Look at facts, and trust for your
self; medidate and reason," he would
say, "it is thus a man should educate
himself." ' ' , 1 .

A Witness.
Among the many singular anecdotes
which Lord Mansfield has been accustom-
d to relate of himself, he used to speak
of the following with the most unaffected
good humor.: . .
A St. Gile's bird appeared as an evi
dence before, him in some trial concerning
a quarrel in the street, and so confounded
his lordship with slang that he was oblig
ed to dismiss him without getting any
thing from him. He was desired to give
an account of all he knew.
"Mv lord." said he, "as I was coming
by the corner of a street, I stagged the
man
Pray," said Lord M., "what do :you
call staggimj a man?"
"Stagging, my lord ? why, you see I
was down upon him."
"Well, but I doit't understand 'down
upon him any more than 'stagging.' Do
speak to be understood."
"Well, an't please your lordship I
speak as weli as I can I was up to all he
knew."
"To all he knew ? I am as much in
the dark as ever."
"Well, then, my lord, I'll just tell you
how it was." , .
"Do so."
"Why my lord, seeing as how he was
a rum kid, I was one upon' his tibby !"
The fellow was at length sent out of
court, and was heard in .the hall to
say to one of his companions, that
he had "gloriously queer'd old Full Bot
tom
Speculators and Capitalists.
The following lively, characteristic and
effective story is of Parisian origin, but
will fit this latitude as well as that :
Two gentlemen were chatting on the
Boulevard. One was a great, speculator,
developing the plans of a magnificent pro
ject ; the other a dazzled capitalist, Teady
to snap at the bait. He hesitated a little,
but was just yielding, merely making a
few objections for conscience sake. Near
these two paused a couple of youngsters
of ten or twelve years. They were look
ing into' a tobacco shop close;by, and one
cries out to the other: !
: "Py the piper! I'd like to smoke a
sou's worth of tobacco." . ;
. "Well," replied the other, "buy a sou's
worth." ' . ' '
"Ah ! as luck would have it, I haven't
the sou. : ';
"Hold on !.i I have two sous." ,
"That's the ticket ! just, the thing; one
for the pipe and one for the tobacco." ,
"Oh, yes, but what am to do ?'
"You ? Oh ! yon ' can be the stockhold
er; you can spit.V . -:
It was a flash of light. . The capitalist
thrust his hands . into his pockets and
fled. ' ' : . " . : ;
The speculator cast a furious look at
the two urchins, and turned down the
street. : ' .' ! - ; . ' .
"Doctor Pills in ?" . . . .
. ''Don't live here,' says Brown, who
was in full scribble, w ithout looking up. "
' "Oh, I thought this was his officer's ;
- "Next door.". .- - . ol t:zi-i
"Pray, sir, has . the doctor manjr pa
tients?" , , . . 1 . .
' "jv mot living." - ; ;-'
Doctor Pills heard of the' remarkr and
threatened to sue'Brown for'libel. .
A burial society has recently commen
ctd in the county of Lancaster, the first
printtd article of which runs thus: -That
whereas many persons fiud it difficult to
I bury themselves.1 : ; i. ; .

General Tom Thumb.
That extraordinary dwarf, Charles S.
Stratton, who was exhibited in this coun
try by Mr. Barnum,. fourteen years ago,
gave a first performance in . Manchester,
on his farewell visit, in the Assembly
room of Free-trade Hall. He will com
plete his twenty-first year in January
next, and it is his present intention not
to exhibit himself after that time. He
has earned, a fortune, upon which he will
live on an estate which he has purchased
in his native country, in Connecticut
But. before'retiring, he is making a fare
well tour of the Old World. He has been
on the Continent, where ; a few weeks
since, he met his old. friend, Mr. Baruum,
at Baden Baden. Mr. Barnum has , ac
companied the General to England, being
himself on his way to America; and yes
terday, at the Free trade Hall, at the
General's request, Mr. Birnuin exhibited
the little man in his representation of
Grecian statues.' Mr. Barnu n is not,
however, connected with the exhibition,
and is only viiiu'ng Manchester for a few
days. The General . is a very merry,
good-humored little, ftllow. When last
here he was a child of "seven years ; now
he is a man in every respect except as re

Fabrication of Diamonds.
One of the most curious sights in Pans
is said to be afforded by a visit to the vast
work-shops of . Mr. Bourguignon, where
the whole process of transforming a few
grains of dirty, heavy looking sand into a
diamond of the purest water, is daily go
ing on, with the avowed purpose of de
ceiving everybody but the buyer. The
coloring matter for imitating emeralds,
rubies, and sapphires, is entirely mineral,
and has been brought to high perfection
by Mr. Bourguignon." Many operators
are employed, whose business is to polish
the colored stones and line the false pearl.
with fish scales and wax; the scales of
the roach and dace are chiefly employed
for thii purpose. They must be stripped
from the fish while living, or the glisten
ing hue, so much admired in the real
pearl, cannot be imitated. ' 1
An Unexpected Fortune.
It is stated that a surviving daughter of
Aaron Burr conies curiously into posses
sion of quite a fortune in this way: Burr
held a lease from Trinity Church of the
Richmond Hill property, three or four
hundred lots in the centre of New York,
for sixty-six years. He re-leased the
land for sixty-three years to Astor and
others, and their lease expires in 1860.
The lease for three years then belongs
to Burr's daughter, and the claim is in
disputatable, and the value of the lease
very great. Already several of the les
sees have compromised the claim for
from one thousand five hundred to two
thousand dollars per let.
A Wliccl-barrow Man.
The Kansas City Journal of Commerce
states that A. O. McGrew.of Pittsburgh,
Pa., left Kansas City, solitary and alone,
on the 16th uit., for Pike's Peak dig
gings, taking his previsions, blankets,
pick and shovel, gun and ammunition in
a wheel-barrow. When he left Pittsburgh
he had just five cent3 in money, and no
outfit save what he had cn his tack.
Pitkins, hardware dealer of Kansas City,
who has known McGrew for some years,
filled his whetl-l arrow with an outfit,
and McGrew started on his solitary pil
grimage of six hundred miles through an
uninbabited country save with Indians and
I uffaloes, determined to fill his single
wheelbarrow coach with thining du3t as
soon as anybody. In passing a train,
McGrqw.was offered a place in the com
pany, but returned thanks for the proffer
ed kindness, adding that he could not
consistently accept the offer, as he was in
grtat haste,, and. feared that hemijzhtbe
delayed, and perhaps caught in the iow,
if he travelled with oxen. .
