1t came to our knowledge only Il
few days since that the colored child
whose clothing caught fire while its
mother was absent from tile house on
an GRAND, several weeks ago, died
shortly after the accident. This fatal
result was not anticipated, for the
child's injuries, though necessarily
painful, were considered far from be-
ing dangerous.

So far as we can ascertain, planters
are progressing favorably with their
work of clearing and breaking land
and getting the seed for the new crop
into the ground. On some places the
planting of cane is nearly completed,
and this is notably the case on Mr..
Burnside's Ascension plantation. But
a very small proportion of laborers
have declined to continue contracts
with their employers of last year, and
there has been much less migration
amongfLem than usually occurs at
the beginning of a new~year. The
favorable crop of the past season, has
fgiven ii great impetus to the planting
interest, and the area of cultivation
is being very generally increased.

DIR. Samuel johnson.
Addison P. Russell. ]

His personal courage was prodigious.
He would beat large dogs that were
fighting, till they separated. To prove
that gun would not burst if charged
with many balls, he put in six OF seven,
and fired it off against wall. One
night he was attacked in the street by
till relieved by the watch. A man, hav-
ing taken possession of his seat between
the side-scenes, and refusing to give it
up, was tossed by the mad philosopher,
chair and all, into the pit. Foote had
resolved to ridicule him on the stage,
but changed his mind when he heard
that johnson had been inquiring of
Tom Davis, the bookseller, the price of
oak-sticks. "I am told that Foote
means to take me off, as he calls it, and
I am determined the fellow shall not do
it with impunity." He had sometime
before knocked down Osborne with a
folio. and put his foot upon his neck.
Sir, he was impertinent to me, and |
beat him." His defiant letter to Mac
pherson shows how utterly impossible it
was to intimidate him.
Such, we are told, was the heat and
irritability of his blood, that he pared
his nails to the quick, and scraped the
joints of his fingers with penknife till
they were red and raw. Generally,
when he had concluded period, in the
course of dispute, by which time he
was good deal exhausted by violence
and vociferation, he used to blow out
his breath like whale" "There is no
argument with Johnson" were the
words of Cibber, in one of his comedies,
put, you remember, into the mouth of
Goldsmith; for when his pistol misses
fire, he knocks you down with the butt
end of it." His laugh, too, was tremen-
dous; not like the laugh of any other
man. "He laughs" says Davies, "like a
rhinoceros." When Hogarth first saw
him, he though he was an idiot; but
| when he heard him speak, he thought
him inspired. Garrick said of his super.
lative powers of wit: "Rabelais and all
the other wits are nothing, compared
with him. You may be diverted by
them; but johnson gives you forcible
hug, and shakes laughter out of you
whether you will or no." Speaking OF
Garrick, how funny it must have beer
to the boys of the little school at Edial
to see the future great actor, whose
death, johnson said, "eclipsed the
gayety of nations, and impoverished the
stock of harmless pleasures" take of
the tumultuous and awkward fond
ness" of their master for ''Tetty," OF
"Tetsey," as he called his wife-whc
was fat, fifty, and anything but pretty

Nothing has given the writings of Charles
Dickens so strong hold upon the hearts of
parents as the well-known excellence of his
p rtrayal of children and their interests.
These delineations having received the ap-
proval of readers of mature age, the differ
ent child characters have been detached
from the large mass of matter with which
they were originally connected, and pre-
sented in the authors own language, to new
class of readers, to whom the little volumes
will be as attractive as the larger originals
have proven to the general public. A
series of twelve volumes has been prepared,
presenting, among others, the following
characters: 'esmike," from Nicholas Nick
Shop; "The Child Wife," from David Cop
perfeld "The Boy Joe," from Pickwick
Papers, etc, etc. A new edition of the first
volume of the series, "Little Paul." from
Dombey & Son, has just been issued, illus
trated by barley, and attraetively bound.
The other volumes will shortly follow. Sent
postpaid for 81; or any volume will be sent
with years subscription to the New York
Tribune (weekly), for 81; or any two vol
umes with years subscription to the hide
pendent for So. JOHN r. ANDERSON, Pub

A PhenOmenally Sensitive Woman.

A correspondent from Iowa gives the
following curious account of resident of
that State: "The case of Mrs. E Win
ship, who resides in Shell Rock, is re-
markable one. The slightest odor of to-
bacco, ether, chloroform, turpentine ben
zine, kerosene, or prussic acid will, ,Iif she
inhales it, throw her into violent convul-
sions. So sensitive is she to the effect
that she is obliged to shut herself,wholly
in room by herself. These convul-
sons increase in severity at each, rep
etition, and few days since man en-
tered the house with apiece of tobacco
in his mouth before the family were
aware of it, and although the rooms were
thoroughly ventilated by leaving the
doors and windows open, enough of the
odor of tobacco remained to produce
these convulsions when Mrs. Winship
camo into the room, and for some hours
it was thought she would not recover.
Extraordinary precautions are used to
prevent those who use tobacco from
going to the house."
