The LARGEST GIANT IN THE WoRLD.-Some
weeks ago we gave few facts in regard to
the weight and dimensions of Miles Darden,
who died in Tennessee, aAd was said 10 be
the largest man in the world. The Jackson
Wing has the following additional particulars
of the deceased, furnished by Rev. John
Brooks -
"He was twice married. His children are
very large, but probably none of them will
ever be more than half the weight Of their
father. He was quite active and lively, and
labored until about four years ago, when he
became so heshy that he was compelled to stay
at home, or be hauled about in q two horse
wagon.
In 1889 he made contract with tailor to
furnish him suit Of clothes for $5O-the
cloth was to cost So per yard. Upon meas
urement il took twelve yards of cloth-so the
tailor lost $40 and the making. The tailor
states that three men, each weighing over
200 pounds, put the coat on, buttoned it
around them, and walked across the square
at Lexington. In 1850 il took 13 10 yards
Of flax cloth, yard wide, to make him a
coat 1t took l6 yards of cambria for his
shroud "a yards Of, black velvet to cover the
sides and lid of his coffin 1875 feet Of plank
TO make his coffin. stcG
His coffin was 8 feet long across the breast
80 inches across the head Is inches across
the foot IA inches it's depth 35 inches He
weighed in l845, 81 pounds; his height was
feet 6 inches; his weight, when he died, as
nearly as could be ascertained, was fraction
over 1000 pounds"

A HEALTHY SEAsoN.-The general health
of the country has not been so good tor many
summers as during the present. The number
of deaths in the large cities, where reports are
made with accuracy weekly and monthly, IS
considerably below last year, which was itself
below the average of the previous few years.
The number of deaths last week in New York
was COL, TAG in the same week last year, and
576 the year before. The July mortality of
Chicago was 250, against 734 in July 1854,
when The cholera ragged there; the number
this year is below that OF July, 1856, also,
though the population is much increased.
The same general fact is true of Boston, as
we have before shown, and olso Oh all the
Southern cities. There is no epidemic dis
ease prevailing in any part of the country.
vi course there is time in the present
month, the most siekly of the yeai, to reverse
this pleasant comparison; but there are yet
no marked indications of revolution back
wards. Even the New York Tribune, which
insisted lew weeks ago that the yellow fe.
yer would and should come to devasl ate that
city, because of its rotton filthlness, has been
Obliged to give up in despair. The town is
healthy in spite of its manifold sins.
How far this healthy state of the country
is attributable to the unusul and evenly dis.
tributed GOODNESS and wetness of the summer
the statistics of climnatology do not author
ize positive opinion. 1t is worthy of remark
that the two marked characteristics accompany
each other, and impress themselves together
upon the popular mind. Undoubtedly thew
have connection in some degree.
The number OF deaths in New Orleans last
week was but ninety. eight. The weather is
quite wet there.

ACCIDENT FROM BURNING FLU1D.-On
Wednesday night about 10 o'clock, Mrs. ia
son Butler, residing in Seekonk was severely
injured by the explosion Of a fluid can with
which she was filing a lighted lamp. The
can was about two. thirds full OF fluid. The
flame communicated with the contents of the
can, causing it to explode. Her husband,
who was awakened by her shrieks, followed
her down cellar, where she had fed in her
agony, and succeeded in removing some OF
her burning clothes, but she ran up stairs
again, where with difficulty the flames were
extinguished. Mrs. Butler was shockingly
burned over large surface of her body. She
cannot survive. She was attended by DR..
Collins, of Providence.

The SUICIDE OF SENATOR RUsK.- For some
days previous to his death, he had shut him.
self up in bis room, and had no communca.
ton, SO far as known, with any one; and, on
the day of the fatal deed, he attached string
to ride and placing the muzzle against his
forehead, literally blew off the top Of his head
His family, hearing the report of gun, and
the falling Of body, about two o'clock in
the afternoon, ran to the spot, and found HIM
lying dead upon the ground, behind the gal
lery, az the back of the house, with rifle
under him. No further clue can be given TO
the mystery. No papers or writings Of the
same day have been found, except a letter
addressed to gentleman in New Orleans, or :.
dering tombstone for his wife, with this IN
scriptlon-''Blessed are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God" An inventory Of all
his property was found in portmanteau
and the value Of the same divided by the
number OF his children. He was buried the
next day with masonic honors.

reforming the Bar.


MeSSrs. Editors sit appears that the work of
reforming the bar, and purging it Of ''unscrupu.
lous members" has been commenced at Albany.
The offence charged is the swindliDg of clients
out of large sums, fees, for little or no labor,
and unskillful, unlawyer-like advice. If the re-.
form shall become wide spread, it will, in due
time, clear the bar of now and then member,
unworthy of its honors, and raise it to the high
est ideal Of profession Is swindling the only
offence Of which the bar needs purging? Ii a
client suffer by the unskllful advice of his law
yer, whose gross ignorance of the principles Of
sound and equitable practice leads him into a
palpable abuse of the powers of the court, has he
no remLdy, and does not the bar need purging of
ignorant pYetenderS, as well as swindlers? We
know particular instance, where party, acting
under the instructions of his lawyer, pursued an
oppressive course towards his antagonist, nearly
or quite running him, and, in turn, suffered in
consequence. And we have it on good authori.
ty, from gentleman of high legal attainments,
who. by mutual consent. acted as arbiter in set.
Ting the cause, that such an abuse of legal power
would constitute sufficient ground for expulsion
from the bar-at least, nothing tut ignorance and
a first offence would save the offending member.
Why should malpractice in law go uupuni,hed
more than in surgery? Experience has taught
the writer of this article never again to consult
an inexperienced, specifically educated lawyer
but aItodyS to employ men, well read in their pro.
iession, OF good judgment, correct principles, and
sound practice. 80
