TIE Power OF MUsIc.-Ciara
Loe;se Ke'iogg Il, the Uticu Insane
Asylum.-A correspondent of the Utica
Herald writes to that paper as follows:
:sWe do not remember to have heard OF
a more interesting episode in the Lie OF
any artist, since the days of the great
Jenny Lind, than that of Miss Kellogg
at The Stale Lunatic Asylum, a few
days since. The circumstance speaks
volums for the kindness of heart and
genuine humanity Of this great artist.
Not content, as some Of the genus
|irlitabile Of lower order would have
been, to dole out few notes to the
better classes of patients that could be
assembled for the purpose, she asked
the doctor TO be allowed to penetrate
to the interior and sing to the most
disturbed classes. Accompanied by
two of the faculty., their ladies, ana
the matron, and armed only with her
guitar, she started like an ancient
tloupadonr on her novel journey. Ar
rived in the department devoted to the
more disturbed of this unfortunate class
she was not long in making her powei
felt. A few notes from her powerful
voice were sufficient to call order on
of the widest confusion, and to still TIM
troubled waters of the seal. In
moment all was huslied, and except thu
voice of the cantatrice, the hall was 81
lent as the house of death. After TIN
first song they gathered about her lik
children. wondering apparently wha
, angel from heaven had dropped dow
SO suddenly aud unexpectedly amonn
j. them. They examined her minutel
!, and literally, from the crown of he

q This was submitted to, and not OIL

Y merchants lay figure, much to Il

II her annoyance. Even when they, pr
u posed to kiss her, she not only submit

DIED At z O'Clock A. NJ, on June
9th, at his late residence, on Bayou
Beuf, in this Parish, A. W. BURGESS,
aged Al years.
Mr.. Burgess was a native of Louisi-
ana, and the principal part of his life
was passed in the Parishes of Avoyellcs
and Rapides. His genial and affection
ate nature gave him many warm
friends, who testified their devotion to
him by unremitting attentions during
his long and severely painful Illness
He was Il member of the Episcopal
Church, and in his latter days often
spoke of his "Home in Heaven" and
expressed willingness to depart and
be with God. He was a good neigh
Dor and friend, kind and affectionate
brother, husband and father. He leaves
a devoted wife and one child to mourn
their loss. To them we would say
Hear what the voice from Heaven declares
10 those in Christ who die;
Released from all their earthly cares,
They'll reign with Him on high. X.

WOMAN IN CuINA.-It is a favorlte
assertion that woman in China are
placed in dependent and even de-
Graded situation. The wife, it is ad-
mitted, does not experience The lsoia,
ton that she endures in Turkey; but
vet her surroundings are monotonous,
and there is very little to elevate her
in the social scale, or to expand the
intellectual capabilities of which she
may be possessed. There is large
residum of truth, mixed with elements
of falehood, in this assertion; for wo-
