THE GIANT OF THE WORLD-MH.Es DARDEN.--
Some weeks ago we gave few facts in regard
to the weight and dimentions of this extraordi-
nary man, and promised our readers through
the courtesy of friend in Henderson county,
further items of interest. The friend we refer
red to WAS the Rev. John Brooks whose veraci-
ty, we believe, has never been questioned by
any one. lie writes as follows:
"Mr Darden was born in North Carolina. in
the year 1898, and departed this life at his res
idelcc. IN Henderson county, Tennessee, on the
z3d Of January, 1857. in the 59th year Of his
age. He joined the Baptist Church in early
life, aud shortly afte" emigrated to Tennssee,
where he connected himself with what is called
the Christian Church, but had not been a MEM
ber Of any church for years past, but was moral,
and fOnd Of conversation on religious subjects.
He was an obiging aid kind neigbbor, and
fond Of company, About fifteen years ago he
joiued the order of Masons. He was twice mar
red His children are very large but proba.
bly,, none of them will ever be more than half
the weight of their father. lie was quite active
and lively and laborcd until about four years
ago, when he became 20 feshy that be was
compelled to stay at home, or he hauled about
| in a two-horse wagon. In l849 he made coh-
tract with tailor to furnish him a suit OF
! clothes for S50-the cloth was To cost So per
ward. Upon Measurement, it took twelve yards
of cloth So the tailor lost Sl0 and The max
lag. The tailor states that three IN n, each
weighing oven 200 pounds, put the coat IN, but
toned it around tn m, and walked across the
square to Lexington. In 1850 it took Is IL
yards of fax cloth. yard wide. to make IN a
boat II took l6 yards of fcambric for his shroud;
"a yards of black velvet to cover the sid"s and
lid of his coffin; l25 feet of plank to max" his
coffin. His coffin was eight leet long; across
the breast, 80 inches; across the heau. ls inches
across the foot, IA inches; he weighed, in l845
S7l pounds; his hight Z feet inches His
weight. when he died, as nearly as could be
ascertained, was a fraction over 1000 pounds

DEATH OF THOMAS DICK. LL.D'--We have to
announce the demise Of this venerable and ex-
cellent gentleman. the author of "The Christian
Philosopher" and Of several other works Of a
pious and instructive nature, which has met
with high acceptance aud popularity. He ex-
pircd at his residence in BIoughty Ferry. where
he had lived for the long period of more than
thirty years. quietly prosecuting his astronomi.
cal studies, engaged in the labors OF all unos-
tentatious benevolence, aud enjoying the warm
respect of all around him. Recently he suffered
the bereavement of two grandchildren. and
never thoroughly recovered the blow which he
had thus sustained. 1t was not till Friday last
however that be became seriously i'll, but from
that period he gradually sank. Dr. Dick had
attained the ripe old age of S3. The removal
of one who had so far exceeded the ordinary
limit of human life is scarcely matter Of sur
prise; but the example of his calm. genial hon
0rable and nsefu history is one that should not
be without its salutary influence. year or
two ago bis services in popularizing science
were acknowledged by the gift of one of those
scanty pensions which are allotted to the re-
ward OF such labors. He was twice married
and widow survives him.--Duadee Warder.
