of a very racy sort Lady Morgan At last
presents us with passages from her Al.
photography, and photographs for us all The
celebrities of her time: among Others me
Dutchess of Devonshire Lady Caroline Lamb
Lady Cork, Humboldt, Cuyier, Lafayette.
&c. some of whose letters give additional
attraction to this welcome volume. Another
book Of startling interest il diary kept dur
inc the great French Revolution by that well
known and exquisitely beautiful woman. Mrs.
Dalrymple Elliott, now first printed from the
original manuscript, written AT the desire %.
his Majesty. George ILL., This very extra
ordinary book is embellished by engrayings
of the authoress, of her daughter, rs well ~
the Duke of Orleans, from original pictures
by Conway, Gainsborough. &c. 1t may t."
we'll toadd that some very curious disclosures
arise out of this very piquant book. Ih"
other book is the last journals OF the lar
famed Horace Walpole now first puhIiSh'd
from the original MSS, just as they w"r"
written. with the fresh details of all the secret
proceedings of the Court and with anecdot"N
of all the political and literary characters at
the time. This will form the last bequcst al
this unriyalled w.t. and will he found t" be-
rich in all these curious and entertaminS
anecdotes which were not attainablc by The
writer's of his time.
DEATH FROM LIGHTNING IN JANUARY
The death of DR. j. L. Nixon. a Baptist
Minister at Troy, Pike county, Ala. which
occurred on the Dist ult, has been briefly an
nounced. From accounts since received IT
seems that he was instantly killed by light
ming. The shock was most severe one. ana
came near killing other members OF his fam
ly who were seemingly equally exposed with
himself The only member of the family VIII"
suffered materially besides the Doctor was
little girl-his daughter-about 8 or !"
years of age. who was for time apparently
dead; but the physician who was soon ON III"
spot, Immediately exposed both bodies To the
drenching rain which was falling in torrents
and the child soon began to show signs OF re
turning to life.
