The Home aud Personal Appearance OF

Christian Hans Andersen, the celebrated
Danish author, has been lately giving TO the
world an account of his visit and his jour
neyings in England, treating chiefly Of his
visit to Mr.. Charles Dickens. Here is
sketch of Gadshill Place, and of the author
of the PckWick Papers: Before me lay on
the broad high-road Dickens's country
house, whose tower, with its gilded weather.
cock, | had seen for some time over the tops
of the trees. II was handsome new house,
with brick walls and projecting entrance,
supported by small pillars thick hedge Of
cherry-trees Joined the house, In front of
which was carefully tended grass plot, in
the rear of two splendid cedar-trees, whose
crooked branches spread their green shade
over garden fenced in with ivy and wild
grapes. As I entered the house, Dickens
came to meet me, SO happy, so cordial; be
looked somewhat older than when we parted
ten years before, but this was partly owing
TO the beard he wore his eyes glistened as
formerly, the same smile played round his
mouth, the same clear voice sounded 80
cheerily, even more affectionately than here
tofore. Dickens was now in his best years,
so youthful, lively, eloquent, and rich in
humor, through which the warmest cordial
ity ever shone. / can not find more charac-
teristic words to describe him than a quota
tion from the first letter l wrote home: Sc
lect the best of Charles Dickens's works,
form from them the image Of a man, and
you have Dickens Just as he stood before
me in the first hour, he remained unchanged
during all the weeks passed with him, ever
jovial merry and sympathising."

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN South CAROLINA
Another Slave InSurrection Panic.-Startling
developments, say the local papers, have
been made in Marlborough, s. O., and the
whole community thrown into a state of
New York have been arrested, who had un-
der their care a large stand Of arms. They
were searched, and invoices found calling
for another lot, amounting in all to about
l,200. The arms were consigned to parties
in Wilmington, to which place a gentleman
had been semitic make Investigations, and so
secure others who may be implicated. Their
completely and direct agency were so thor
oughly established, that they were commit
ted to jail. The feeling was So intense that
it was with great difficulty that their vio-
lent seizure and immediate execution could
be prevented.

for Their Reform.
A paragraph which recently made the cir
cult of the newspapers, gave most encour-
aging accounts of the success of those
clergymen, and other persons in London,
who have been holding midnight tea-drink-
ing with the abandoned women of that city,
and making other efforts for their reclaim
alton. Another paragraph, upon authority
apparently quite as authentic, which ap-
peared few days afterward, contains the
intelligence that, through the absence Of de-
sirable frints, the meetings had been
stopped, and the wSrk discontinued; in short,
the experiment was failure.
Modern philanthropy is prone to err in
two directions by proelAiming success upon
doubtful grounds, and by becoming dis
couraged before a fair trial has been made.
Had the labors of the parties alluded to been
continued to this time, it would still be too
early to determine the question of their
value, If the test is to be their capacity
to promote genuine reform and the per-
manent abandonment Of evil practices.
People are not 80 easily regenerated.
Good resolutions are much more frequently
made than kept perhaps with certain
classes, oftener simulated than made. Yet,
as there are some good impulses in every
human being, il Is unjust until after very
fair and patient trial, to pronounce any in
dividual, much less a whole class, to be at
terly ineorEigible,rr -.-rtee T.---.s a..
The parties whe procured the FIRST inter-
view with the street-Women in London,
found them much more amenable TO present

The Dramatic Performances Of Ristori, as
Seen by N DISTINGUISHED Novelist,

1eth ny u NONtHBIs
Hans Christian Andersen, while in Lon
don, went to the Lyceum to witness the per-
formances of Madame Ristori, the great
Italian tragedienne, with whom he was de-
lighted, and gives Tue ifommowing sketch of
her: I'VE are aware that Ristori is the
daughter of poor travelling Italian arhstes,
and it is also said that, when an infant, she
lay behind the scenes in basket while her
mother was playing. She herself made her
appearance on the boards at an early age, in
Turin; and it was here, too, that her extra
ordinary talent was first noticed. Presently
she married an italian noble, whose family
did not like daughter-in-law from the
stage but, by her amiability, she conquered
all their hearts. When financial motives
compelled her to return to the stage she was
accompanied by her husband to Paris, where
her greatness was speedily recognized. She
alone had the scepteI of the tragic muse,
and the Rachel proceeded to America.
'Her fame soon spread to adjacent coun-
tries, and England and Germany followed
the example of France in homage and de-
light. Signora Ristori has a splendid the
atrical figure, noble features, sparkling eyes,
and mimic, which appears to me too pow
erful, and only permissible in the ballet,
where action is employed instead of words.
The transitions were so violent that only the
truth of the talent rendered them pardon
able. At first could not accustom myself
to them; but in the concluding scene, after
she had poisoned her treacherous husband,
and drank then the cup to the dregs herself
when she begs the priests to sound their
harps, there was some thing so attractive, SO
affecting in her gestures, that was forced
to bend low before the might of the TRACE

They had proceeded no farther, however,
than Mr.. Camps residence, when the boiler
exploded, scattering the various portions in
every direction, nothing remaining on the
track but the wheels Of the tender. Mr..
Brown, the conductor, and the engineer and
fireman, were all injured, the former very
seriously.

TIE Per-eapita appears to be disposed Of
for the present. the journals opposed to its
removal have hymned its requiem, and the
members of the Council upon the same side
have doubtless, to their own satisfaction,
settled the question of its popularity-the
only one they seemed willing to entertain
After this, let it be understood, when a
measure is before the City Council of Gin
cinnati, that the question is, not its justice
not the good it is likely to accomplish, but
how vote upon this or that side will be
likely to affect the members chances of re-
election.

GENIUS REGARDED AS A DIsEAsE.-An
eminent French physician has recently pub
result Of many years study, the proposition
that genius is due to nervous disease, beiLg
only another form of that abnormal con-
ditiOn of the nervous eenters, which else
where manifests itself as epilepsy, mono
mania, or idiocy. He has no hesitation in
declaring that "the physiological history of
idioey is, in multitude of particulars, the
same as that Of the majority Of men Of
genius, and Viee Versd." His arguments and
Illustrations are thus summed up: "It ap-
pears sufficiently established that the pre-
eminence Of the Intellectual faculties has for
its organic condition a special state OF
disease Of the nervous centres"

Although the whisky-inspection war
seems to draw much stronger on the public
sympathies, yet it is probable that water will
! continue to be wanted for mechanical pur-
poses. A while ago our city was impressed
with the absolute necessity of an immediate
provision for supplying the city with water.
1t is singular how soon this thirst has been
assuaged, especially in the City Council
proof that in that body water is not regarded
as q necessity, but as an occasional luxury,
after hard night. Last summer the Coun-
Gil went at water project so vigorously that
we were about to have the whole Miami
River emptied into the bowels of this city.
A distinguished engineer, who did the
Cochituate business for Boston, where
whisky is much dearer and water vastly
more necessity than here, was ordered to
be engaged to survey the project and report
on its feasibility. The public supposed that
they were going to be informed all about it,
and that way had been devised by which
the impending arid calamity could be
averted.
But it seems that this enterprise is turned
awry. There are suspicious that that hole
in the ground may let something else into
the city besides water. These have taken
the turn of an anxiety for the citys health,
and very critical taste in regard to the
quality of water. The great water-move-
ment has been turned into an analysis.
People profess to suspect that there is lime
in the Miami water. What horrible idea
1t is similar to the surprise of Mr.. Toucey,
when, after he had served several years as
Secretary of Navy, he visited some of the
men-of-war, and happening to see a hatch
way open, he exclaimed, "Why, bless me, it
is hollow p What sad thing it would be
if these Partingtons should discover lime in
the water of a country which rests on lime
stone Then, what if they should happen to
analyse the wheat Of course we could eat
no more bread Somebody should stop this
analyzing business, or we shall starve, as
well as thirst, for there will be nothing fit to
eat or drink. If somebody should happen
to tell these analy zers that they had lime in
their bones, they would incontinently COM
nit suicide.
We commend to them Mrs. Partington's
analyzing observations over her cup of tea,
which she was enjoying, with some mis-
givings, efter reading an article on the
adulteration of articles of food; "Adulter-
ated tea" said the sincere old lady, ''it looks
virtuous." And when they have thoroughly
analyzed the Miami water, will they take
half pint of that in the Ohio, after a
shower, or during freshet, and inform the
public what are the relative proportions of
fluids and solids, and the ingredients of each,
which they take at a moderate draught.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A NOTORIOUS AND
WEALTHY CoURTEsAH.-The New York Posi-
says that Fanny White, whose name has
been widely known in police and political
circles for above twenty years, was found
dead in her bed on Friday. She had made
fortune as procuress and keeper of houses
of bad repute; and rumor says that more
than one political man was started in life
under her auspices. There is a report that
she came to her death by poison, but of this
nothing has been ascertafned. She resided
in Thirty-fourth-street, lived in style, and is
said to have left a fortune of $50,O00.

A CITIZEN OF LONDON DAGUERREoTYPED.
Richie thus describes Londoner
Nature is the best and truest teacher a
man can have-and it is little of nature that
the Cockney sees, or hears, and feels. He
goes to Richmond, but, instead of studying
the finest panorama in the world he stupi-
fies himself with doubtful port; he visits the
Crystal Palace, but it is for the sake of the
lobster-salad; he runs down to Greenwich
not to revel in that park beautiful, still, in
spite of the attacks of London on its purity,
but to eat white-bsit; he takes, it may be,
the rail or the steamboat to Gravesend, but
merely that he may dance with miIliners at
fivoli. The only idea of garden to Lon
don gent is place where there is dancing
and drinking and smoking going on. And
this is type of his inbred depravity. He
has no rational amusements. In the winter
time shut up the casinos, and do away with
the halfpr at the theaters, and the poor
fellow is hors-de-cOmbat and has nothing left
him but suicide or deIiTium-tremens.

MR. WALKER, of the Council, is said, be-
fore the election, to have made no secret Of
his opposition to the per-eapita. Nay, he is
reported to have taken some pains to let it
be known that, in his opinion, the railway
companies could sue the city and recover
back the money paid under the per-eapita ar
rangement. Yet Mr.. Walker has distin-
guished himself by an active and unscrupu-
lous opposition to the repeal ordinance. How
Mr.. Walker came to change his mind is no
business of ours; but those who have OBJ
served the phenomena in this particular case,
report them curious; we hope they are credit
able; but with such opinions as he onoe en-
tertained upon the legal aspects of the case
they may fairly be called surprising.
