following account of her, which, we.
are sure, will be read with interest: j
“ I must not close this letter with-1
out an allusion to one of the most re-1
markable women of her age, whom I
met on the platform here, ns I left the j
Memphis cars. She had alighted
from the Cairo train, and was enter
ing that for the South. I knew her.
well. I had met her several times
in .tbf past few years, on her missions
of mefey ! 1 had only time to shake
hands with her, and loarn from her
that two weeks before she had left
St. John’s, Newfoundland, where she
had been to get a grant from the Co
lonial Government for the establish
ment of an Asylum for the Insane
there, and was on her way to Jack-
son, the capital of Mississippi, to
urge upon its Legislature to enlarge,
by forty rooms, the State Asylum
there, which her own noble efforts a
few years since had caused to be
erected.
I spt ak of Miss Dorothea L. Dix !
Whb has not heard of the name ol
this benefactress of her race ? She
has been called the “Flora Nightin
gale” of this country. There is no
need of making this 'comparison!—
She stands alone in her own high
place! The two are wholly unlike !
Each has her own mission on earth !
I will describe Iter as I saw her on
the platform. Tall and naturally
graceful, plainly dressed in black
silk, with a dark bonnet simple as a
Quakeress’in its style! quiet and
dignified in her manner, and with
the air of a true and gentle lady, she
moved along, holding a leathern bap
of papers and documents in one hand,
and her satchel and shawl hanging
on the other arm. Her face fair and
florid, but browned a little with ex
posure in travel, had that steady, be
nign expression, mingled with deci
sion and energy which characterizes
her. This, with her calm, blue eyes,
her fine expressive mouth, her iutel-
ligent aspect, marked her as no ordi
nary woman. Shrinking front ob-
sarvation she was moving towards
the other train, when I accompanied
her to the cars she sought.. Ten
years ago I met her at Nashville,
where she was trying to get the Le
gislature to appropriate $100,000 to
a State Asylum! and succeeded, too!
She was then very fair arid interest
ing looking, but constant travel over
the Union and in Europe had told
upon her, and lter face was strongly
marked with lines of thought and en-
e gy- ’ . .
Erir twenty years this noble Chris
tian lady has been devoting her time
rind private means to improve and ele
rate the prisoner and the lunatic.—
She has bceu their advocate before
every Legislature in the States I—
More than twenty States have Asy
lums erected through her' eloquent
appeals' to Legislatures! She has
visited others, and had them enlarged
and reformed! Those which she has
compelled (I use the proper word)
Legislatures to erect, she hais revis
ited. Every one she lcecps under
heir eye, and jealously watches against
abuses ! A few years ago she in
duced Mississippi to build iVn, Asy
lum. “It is now too small,” she said
to me. “Tboy have to put beds on
the flop! ! I go to ask an appropri
ation for its enlargement.’’
And hot only does she make Legis
latures erect Asylums in all States,
hot. she, makes them reform thhir
prisons. She has personally inspect
ed every Penitentiary in the Union,
and reported on them to tfae Legisla
tures, and recommended reforms and
improvements,-and ways and means
ents of roads eagerly give her free
tickets for a year.
She is not richj—Jk native of Sa
lem, Massachusetts, she was bom for
ty-five years ago of an old and aris
tocratic family. At the age of twen
ty, with a party of ladies and gentle
men, she visited the State’s prison in
Charlestown, Mass. At that day lu
natics were always confined with the
criminals. There were bo separate
asylums for this unhappy class. The
incongruity of this struck her. There
were twenty utad men in the prison!
“Misfortune, disease, is not crime!
Why are these here ?” she asked of
a member of the Legislature, who
was one of her party. “It is custom
ary,” was the careless reply. “You
ought to appropriate money to erect

she said.
“ Draw np your bill, Miss Dix,”
he said pleasantly, “and I will intro
duce it.”
She took him at his word! the bill
was introduced. Much debate fol
lowed. i.She addressed letters to its
bitterest opponents, pleading for it!
She prevailed. It was carried, and
an appropriation of a large amount
of money was voted, - and the next
year the walls of an insane asylum
began to be upreared. This noble
young woman did not stop here !—
She visited Rhode Island, Connecti
cut and other States! She made it
her mission to build up asylums and
to reform prisons ! She hus traveled
on her own paternal income of two
thousand dollars, or little more, and
out of it hits borne all of her expenses,
and done all that she has done!.

her! On earth tens of thousands of

while -Mr.-Dalton took his stand on

to their aid. The boat came up just
before they reached the marsh, ami
now the great object.was to dischnrge

Cevor and Mr, Dalton both took
Hold of thecord and in the confusion
pulled so hard its to break it short

Mr. Cevor, and his travelling com
panion, Mr. Dalton, matte their ap
pearance m our streets Saturday
morning, much to the joy of tlieir
friends, and to the general stisfaction
of our citizens. Their voyage through
the air, though brief in duration, was
% delightful one, until it came to a
conclusion, which approached too
near the-tragical to be very interest
ing at the time- A brief synopsis of
their adventures may not bo without
interest.
After leaving tho city a few miles
.behind them, the balloon entered
current which boro it to the eastward,
and thence directly out to sea. The
greatest altitudeattained was between
2 J and 2f miles, at which point the
view of both earth and water was en
tirely shut out. Seeing nothing and
borne along on the rapid current of
air, all waa perfectly still, and the
seronauts unconscious of motion though
going at the rate of over three miles
to the minute. The roar of the ocean,
though, was distinctly heard from be
ne. th, and just then they entered an
other current that bore them rather
more northward. It was determined
to descend and take the chances ra
ther than'be carried far out'to sea.
The valve was opened for the escape
of the gas uml the grappling iron
thrown out to the full length of the

A Country Doctor.
The Knickerbocker does up yarn
in a superior manner. There is more
truth thnn poetry in the following
sketch from the experience of a coun
try doctor—a fact that more than
one of that badly treated and worse
paid class of individuals would be
willing to verify on oath:
The doctor is called from his bed
on a stormy night, with the stirring
summons :

The king,- well pleased with liis
answer, said.:
“ Bravely spoken, old man. Now
I will also give you something tp
guess. Have you ever seen me be
fore?’’
“ Never,” said the fiVmer,
“ In less than five minutes you
shall see me fifty times, and carry i.n
your pocket fifty of my likenesses.”
“ This is a riddle which I cannot
unravel,” said the farmer.
“ Then I will do it for you” re
plied the king.

What ran be Done on one Acre of groan d.
The editor of the Maine Uultivator
published a few days ago, his manage
ment of one acre of ground, from
which we gather the following re
sults: One-third of an acre in corn
usually produces thirty bushels of
sound corn for grinding, besides some
refuse. This quantity was sufficient
for family use, and for fattening one
large or two small hogs. ! From the
same ground he obtained two or three
hundred pumpkins, and his family
supply of beans. From a bed of six
rods square, he usually obtained sixty
bushels of onions; these he had sold
for one dollar per bushel, and the
amount purchased his flour. Thus
from one-third of an acre and an onion
bed, he obtained his breadstuffs.
The rest of the ground was appropriat
ed to all sorts of vegetables, for sum
mer and winter use; potatoes, beets,
parsnip3, cabbage, green corn, peas,
beans, cucumbers, melons, squashes,
&c.; with fifty or sixty bushels ol
beets and carrots for the food of a
cow. Then he had also a flower
garden, raspberries, currants, and
gooseberries, in great variety; and
a few choice apple, ^cherry- * plum,
peach and quince trees. If a family
can be supported from one acre of
ground in Maine, the same can be
done in every State and County in
the Union.

but so rapid was the flight of the bal

was raised and the air-ship came down,
as Mr. Cevor informs us, with almost
the velocity of a cannon ball, gain

struck the water with immense force,
completely submerging the voyagers.

the Prince of Wales.
The young Prince of Wales, the fu

college at Oxford, and no boy sub
mits to all the college rules and re
straints more readily than he does.
Punctually at 8 o’clock lie is in his
seat at the chapel for morning pray
ers, while too many of his fellow-
students indulge theiwaelves in bed,
content to pay the fine levied for
absence. He is said to enter Oxford
far better educated than theusat dj

shows him admirably brought up.
Indeed, the queen’s family is a
model family. The children are ear
ly risers, and every hour in the day
has its proper work, always to be
done at its proper time. Besides
study; drawing, and music, the boys
have a carpenter’s shop, with planes,
turning-lathe, axes and saws, and
every tool necessary to make skilful
workmen.
Best of ull, the children are taught,
habits of obedience, kindness, and
courtesy. Family devotions begin
and end the day. Young people
belonging to rich or distinguished
families sometimes fancy they are
above the common roles Of'schobl and
the discipline of teachers and think
they can indulge themselves in great
er liberties than others. This is a
sad mistake; sometimes a fatal one.
