CAMpH1yE AGAIN. We have to re-
cord three more accidents from the care
less use of this pernicious burning fluid.
There is scarce day passes but we are
called on to record similar accidents.
In Boston, day or two since, Agnes
Wallace was in the act Of klndling a
fire. it did not burn at once, and she
seized lamp filler containing burning
fluid, pouring some of it upon the wood.
1t blazed up instantly, ignited the fluid
in the filler, which burst, and the wo.
man was burnt so badly that fears ar
entertained of a fatal result. In Pr>v-
dence on Tuesday evening, an Irish boy
about II years old, was severely burned
by the explosion of a camphine lamp.
His wounds are considered of the most
dangerous character. Mrs. Dun haure
was horribly burned by the bursting of
a camphine lamp, at her residence, in
Washington city, on Friday evening.
A Mrs. Horton, living at No. IA Dom
mick street, New York, undertook to
pour camphine into lamp while light
ed, the consequence Of which was the
ignition of the spirit and the burning to
death of her little son, four years old,
who was Standing by at the time. Mrs.
II. was also severely burnt.

Mr.. PAXTON, ARCHITECT OF THE CRys-
tai PALAcE.-Some thirty years ago, a
Young man, gar dener, who worked for
twelve shillings a week, at garden near
the Duke of Devonshire's villa, at CHS
wick, five miles west of Hyde Park, said
or did something which offended the
master gardener, and was turned off.
He was standing unemployed one day
near the dukes garden gate. His grace,
in passing, spoke to him, entered into
familiar conversation, ascertained that
he was a journeyman gardener out of
work, and, walking into the garden, the
young man with him, was pleased with
his intelligence and manners-not the
manners of a sycophant, sneaking up to
the side of nobleman with sycophant-
ish words, but the manners of an intelli-
gent man who knew his profession, and
could speak about it unembarrassed to
another, no matter whom. The duke
asked him to call at Deyonshire house
the next day, and the young man did;
and the cali resulted in his being sent
down to Chatsworth, in Derbyshire.
There he soon made way. and reached,
as practical and scientific gardener, the
very head of his profession, which posi-
ton he had long maintained before he
was known to the world as Mr., Paxton,
the designer of the Crystal Palace. Such
was, according to the conversation now
prevalent at Chiswick and about the
horticultural gardens, the origin Of Mr.
Paxton's connexion with the Duke Of
Devonshire. -.Nanchester (Eng.) Guar
