on II half sheet this week. Since our

Of young womanhood, and compare

week, is now in her grave.
On last Tuesday morning while
sitting before the fire cleaning large
lamp filed with Oil part OF the bot
tom dropped out. Her clothing be-
came saturated and she was ablaze in
nn instant. TO protect her little child
sleeping in u cradle near the fire she
seized the lamp and carried it out, burn
ing as she went. Mr.. Wtmbisil, a
neighbor, and n colOretl nam mt work in
II potato patch near by, were attracted
by the screams and made all possible
speed to tho rescue. On arriving she
was PROSTATE on the floor nearly burned
to death. They succeeded in extin-
gushing the flames bat the fire fiend
had done its work. Notwithstanding
the assistance of many friends and the
best medical attention, she quietly
passed away on Thursday evening at
lOt O'Clock p. M. The catastrophe to
US is heart -rending, and hardly to be
endured. Let as submit with humble
to the DEGREES of AN ail-wise

now to undo 1t. hut, Mr.. Speaker, the
question, as I then stated, Is not whether
Mr.. Nichols Is now governor, but
whether he has a right arbitrarily to
undo the acts OF his predecessor, who
was also governor. 1 ask that the polit-
ical aspects of this case be left lout Of

THE NEW STEAMER JOHN WILSON

Capt. J. w. Blanks and Capt. Joseph
Holmes have built as fine Il stern w heel
steamboat AS ever graced the bosom of
the Mississippi river. She has been
built for the New Orleans and Ouachita
river trade. Her name is John Wilson,
named in honor of u prominent business
man and resident of New Orleans.
Upon her arrival ut New Orleans Capt.
Joe Holmes will take command and
run her regularly in the trade she was
built expressly for. Length of hull l73
feet, beam IS feet, depth Of hold 81 feet.
In the cabin are eighteen rooms; and
the texas is rs feet long, used by the
officers and as bureau. She two has
two boilers "a feet long, AZ inches
in diameter; two engines, each 6 feet
stroke, and Ia inches in diameter:
doctors, pumps, &c. This new and
pretty steamer is in all respects every
thing that money could make her so
far as beauty and general usefulness
combined with speed and comfort is
concerned. He general appearance is
calculated to cause admiration, and her
neat and handsome cabins, so elegantly
furnished and SO tastefully carpeted,
give her a rather paiatiai appearance
inside. Her tall, graceful chimneys
add much to her general appearance,
and her graceful hull and weil-shaped
cabin, all make her sit upon the water
as graceful as a swan, and "walk the
water like a thing oflife." Capt. Blanks
has built a great many boats here, is
building one now, and if he lives will
no doubt build many more, but we
look upon the new John Wilson as his
browning effort, and we trust she will
meet with that success she deserves,
and that Captains Blanks and Holmes
will make each a handsome fortune
with her. Success to her and her clever
oWners.-Cb .tyies.- Journal.
