The unfortunate accident occurred wliilat he was on hi* way in n boat from Haw kinaville to Ids plantation, which I* loca ted about eight tiiilea down the riv.er. lu England they have workingmen* codec houses, and they have achieved * certain measure of popularity. Ofc ,l,rgc they cannot compete with the iflatifold attraction* of the Innumerable gin Ui ua ®*' but their good influence consists in giving men, who otherwiae would bo led inU‘dis sipated habits by the fascinations of fhete places, a comfortable and cheap p!u<r‘ of resort-.

Wou'd we were her. ———♦♦ There is a great deal talking of fomijog anew State, to bo called out of Western North Carolina, Kaaten Tennessee and Southwestern Vlrgiifij •with the capital at Knoxville or Chattu nooga. The territory thus described con sists almost wholly of mountain land, and the now State would be the Switzerland of America. It would also bo immensely rich iu mineral deposits. Another pro ject relates to Georgia aud South Car olina, and is the annexation of Pickens and Oconee counties, South Carolina, to Georgia. It is said that a commission will be appointed by Governor Moses, of the former State, aud Governor Smith, of the latter, to determine, if possible, some basis of anuexatiou. Now there is something wrong about this. Some Oakes Ames' sort of Con gressmen is after a big spec. Now that Credit Mobillcr is dead something must be done to raise the wind. We think thus because neither of these schemes can ever take practical shape. Geographical con sideration has lillle to do with State boun daries. If they had, cither Delaware would have a claim on our Eastern Shore, or it would be to tbe manifest advantage of Maryland to swallow up tbe little State of Delaware totally, and also that tempt ing slice of Virginia soil which lies across the bay, aud so settle the boundry dis pute. Tun Hank of Knoland. —The Bank of England covers five acres of ground, and employs 900 clerks. There are uo windows on the street.

The clock in the centre of the bauk has fifty dials at tached to it Large cisterns are sunk in the court and engines, in perfect order, are always in readiness in case of lire, i This bank was incorporated in i Capital $90,000,000. j Ska Sic*. —The Baltimore A mericAh, in giving a variety of hints to persons about U> go on the briny deep, has this to ssy about that sickness of sli sicknesses, and also a good relief for the same Sea sickness is the most humbling of ail human alflictlons. It takes the starch out of humanity, and brings all down to a common level witli a facility that is truly surprising. We hsve seen ladies come on board ship in perfection of toilet, who would faint if a curl was disarranged. Twenty four hours after they were rolled up in blankets, lying upon the deck, hav ing crawled up from their staterooms only half dressed, without taking time to ar range their hair, and perhaps leaving the best part of it below. All pride of per sonal appearance is gone, aud they have not energy enough left to move out of the way of Ilia sailors who step over them with the log-lln*. Htrong and benrty insu are often similarly afliicttd, and on one occasion we remember to have seen a newly married couple, just starting on their wedding tour, two of the most miserable aud abject creatures in the world sprawled out upon the deck, peifectly in different to each other’s comfort. Tlier# is much truth in the exclamation of lbs old Methodist parson that lie was alraid on the first day he would die, and afraid the second day would uot die. ll is a mistake however, to suppose that no one sympa thises with the sea sick passenger. They receive the kindest attention from the old sen dogs, who are jollies! when the weath er is roughest, and get the blues iu a calm sea. A supply of good lemons should slways be takeu to sea. as there is nothing so re freshing In times of nausea as a lemonade Preserved prunes are also pulatuhle, hut it is a great mistake to suppose that brandy, champague, or any kind of stimulating or inalt liquors will give the slightest relief. Lemonade furnished oil shipboard is very poor stuff 1 , as it is generally made of con centrated lime juice, hence tho necessity of having a supply of your own. A PHYSICAL WONDER. MICK AND ALLIGATORS IN Tlir. STOMACH OK A LADY. From the taxisgton (Ky.) Pres- | A curious case came to our notice yes terday, for which wc have tho most relia able authority, though at first sight it may seem either like n canard or a jest, de signed to impose upon some person of su per-credulity. Our informant, however, tells us the story iu all seriousness, aud as sured us Hint lie was prepared to vouch for its accuracy. We have no hesitation, therefore, iu setting it afloat on tho ocean of newspaper commerce aud exchange, iu order to give the curious and reflective something upon which to exercise their mental faculties, and to furnish the faculty, physiologists and men interested in physi cal science generally, a marvelous subject for investigation. A certain lady residing in Frankfort has been very sick for some time, and so very strange were her spmptoms as to utterly set at naught the skill of the phy sicians. Hhc suffered from general de bility, became fi iglitfuily emaciated, and yet possessed a most verocious appetite, and people began to account for the latter phenomena by the old superstitious meth od of assigning the cause to the possession of an “eating wolf.” The mystery was solved a few days ago, however, when, after u sick spell aud a violent fit of retch ing, she ejected from her stomach n mouse (dead,) aud shortly afterward a living nlli gator, of “small dimensions. Some of the physicians have expressed an opinion that there are more of these auimals remaining iu tiie lady's stomach, and that they arc being constantly generated there. But ns to ltow they had their origin there we have not heard Unit any one has ventured to risk an assertion or explanation. Per haps some girlies who are investigating Huxley's protoplasm aud the Darwinian theory of the origin of animal life may be able to throw some intelligent light ou the matter. We should be glad to receive some correspondence on this subject from any of our able students of nature aud nature's laws. Editorial Musical Proclivities.— Pat Walsh blows the cymbals.

Col I as, of Paris comments in Let Morula of De cember 12th on M. A. Lnilematide's paper on the blue color of the atmosphere, in which it was attributed to a change of 1 refrangibility due to a partial absorption |of the chemical or ultra violet rays. In 1 1870 M. Collas, in au article in Let Mon ffer,attributed the blue color of the Lake of Geneva and other waters to the quantity ofsilex held iu solution, which is brought : down by Uic tributary streams from the ; strata through which they pass. Numer j ous observations since have induced him to believe that the blue color of nil the 'water of (lie globe is due to the same cause. The air every where always con tains more or less of moisture due to evap ; oration from the water of the earth ; the water thus evaporated always coutaius a ! greater or less quantity of extremely line insoluble particles. Sitex, says M. Collas. is one of the most common insoluble sub stances in nature, aud, through evapora tion, performs the same function in the blue that he believes it does in the blue waters of the earth. He believes his theory is continued by the intense blue of southern skies, where evaporation is so much greater than in the colder north. < Flowers in the Track or War There is something singular and qnlte romantic to those sober folks, the bota uists, in tbs fact that the track of the Prussian armies in France, tlieir camping grounds, the siege lines aud bivouack are marked with flowers, not the familiar flow ers of France, but of tbe Fatherland. Even around Paris is this phenomenon appar ent. Hundreds of flowers, unknown hith erto to the soil, but dear to the German heart, so that the Prussian army, formerly tracked by bloody fields, wrecked ambu lances, and all tbe horror and confusion of war, can now be followed by the strange flower blooming iu the lanes and fields and the borders of tbe vineyards. Journalistic Change. —lion. Alex ander 11. Stephens, on yesterday, sold out the Sun newspaper to a cempany com posed ot Messrs. C. 11. C. Willingham, W. A. Moore, Pascal J. Moran and Samuel Echols. These gentlemen have been con ducting the Sun as editors and managers under Mr. Stephen's ownership, and we may anticipate that there will be no deci ded change in it* policy. We are not advised whether or not Mr. Stephens will retain his connection with the establish ment. At any rate we wish the new Arm a hearty and abiding success. —llerald A project is on foot among numerous New York ladies for forming an insurance cdtfipany having only women for officers, agents and policy holders. Tho wives of euiiuent merchants and financiers, several well-known literary ladies, and some of the foremost names in general society, are already on the list of those deeply inter ested. They have matured their plans with care, and a circular will be issued in viting the co operation of women through out the country, and subscriptions to the capiful stock of a “ mixed” company, but one in which all the profits, beyond legal interest ou the capital, are to be returned to the policy-holders. By employing wo men ns agents and cleiks, and allowing low commissions, uot to exceed five per cent., they expect to make large savings above any company now existing. AUCTION.
