GENIUS AND LABoR.-It would be
an extremely profitable thing to draw
up short and well authenticated ac-
count of the habits of study of the
most celebrated writer's with whose
style of literary industry we happen to
be most acquainted. 1t would 60 very
far to destroy the absurd and pernicious
association of genius and idleness, by
showing them that the greatest poets,
orators, statesmen, and historians
men of the most brilliant and imposing
talents-have actually labored as hard
as the makers of dictionaries and the
arrangers Of indixes; and that the
most obvious reason why they have
been superior to other men is, that
they have taken more pains than 9TH
er men. Gibbon was in his study ev-
cry morning, winter and summer, at
six o'clock Mr.. Burke was the most
laborious and indefatigable Of human
beings; Leibnitz was never out OF his
library; Pascal killed himself by
study; Cicero narrowly escaped death
by the same cause; Milton was at his
books with as much regularity as a
merchant or an attorney-he had mas
tered all the knowledge Of bis time, SO
did Homer.

TERRIFIC STORM AT LAST ISLAND!
LIVES LOST!! !

We are informed by n correspondent at
Berwick's Bay that John Davis. an oyste err
man, reached that place in small sailboat
Yesterday and reported that all the houses
on Last Island were swept off by the storm
on Sunday night.
Our correspondent also informs us that
as far as could be hurriedIy ascertained
one hundred and thirty-seven lives were
supposed to be lost
The steamer Major Aubrey was sent i'm
mediatelv to the relief OF the suffering sur
vivors, who were sticking to the hull OF the
steamboat Star, which was driven upon the
island by the storm.
1t is said that the water came up with
such rapidity, under the effects of the wind,
that il rose five feet in two minutes, en-
tirely submerging the whole island. The
inhabitants, supposing, doubtless, that the
water would soon subside, sought shelf
in their houses; but it seems that these
were soon overturned and swept away by
the combined force Of the wind and waves
and lett the unfortunate inmates helplessly
struggling amidst the debris.
We sincerely trust the loss of life may
not be as great as stated and anxiously
await further particulars.
We also learn that the same storm des
troyed many sugar houses aud other build
ings on the plantations bordering on the
Bayou Teche, and throughout the neighbor-
ing parishes.

turo begins with dressing in elaborate

Congress Spring, where she takes two
or three glasses Of the water. Return

drive she takes an anti-prandial snooze,
or receives snob or two. Then
comes the work of dressing for dinner,

waltzing men, and is now flirting with
a thin youth in the corner. He is tell
ing her that he is off for Newport to-

before he leaves. She tries to look
sorry but is really thinking whether
ho could give her brown stone front

The daily life of the snob at the

belle, if be is a lady's snob. lie is

last named snobs play billiards, smoke

time in those healthy and invigorating

so valuable member of society
The ladies' snob is preferable to the
horse and billiard snob.

he first visited Chicago in 1852 with
Parodi, was induced to make a small
investment in real estate. which was
subsequently added to, on revisiting
the city every year. Tie cash value

HARR1s-TuE ARTIsT.-There is o
painful anxiety on the part of many
indifIerently honest, people hereabouts,
to hear something about the talented
young gentleman who some years ago,
started under the most favorable auspi-
ces, Literary Magazine in this city.
He left here shortly after the first num-
Der of the book appeared, to look after
his health, and find some pictures
wherewith to adorn the book. Since
then, he has been heard of, but once,
at Natchez, where he thought to
re-commence the work again of the
Mirror Of the South" Ia this. he
was discouraged no doubt from the
fact, that the Natchez people had a
later visit from the Baron Skench, and
Count Nesselrode, after Red Stick was
honored with their presence. Indeed
Harris complains, that the People Of
Natchez, are very clever when it comes
to subscribing to Literary Magazines
but as to paying for them in advance,
this Che finds) out Of the question. .
The people of Baton Rouge. are more
liberal patrons of the fine arts and
Literature, and of course, Harris pre-
fers them. We can say to this wide
-and-never-takeu-in community
(unless by such an Artist as Harris)
that Harris will come back, and they
may look for him; with o lot Of the
prettiest pictures that ever went into,
ard made Lady's Book attractive
But where is Harris, non We have
not heard word of him for the past
six months. We fear he was down at
Camden, when the Railroad run off
the track; Or near by the Empire
State" when she exploded. Some.
things the matter, else Harris would
have been here before this with the
pictures for the next number of the
Mirror.-Will some Of his friends an
swer. IF any accident has befallen
Harris, letters of administration should
be taken out, to wind up his estate
His property may go to waste other

and it should be collected up, before

AWFUL D1sAsTERs.--As anticipa-
ted from the severity of the late storm,
accounts come in from all parts of the
State Of terrible disasters from its raw
ages. That in reference to Last Is
land is full Of painful interest, and
will keep the public mind in fever
Of excitement until correct list OF
persons on the Island at the time, can
be had. On the Crosse Tete and Mar
angoin, all the low lands have been
flooded to the loss Of crops and de-
struction of other property. From Col.
Floyd, who was over on the Great
Northern Railroad, during the storm,
we learn that the injury to the road,
and the destruction Of property can
not be estimated.
