Dixon II. Lewis.
In his politics, Mr. Lewis was a southern rights
democrat and a nullitier. He took aaxnneh prid
his nullification doctrines as did Mr. Calhoun, who
said thattho only epitaph wished was,‘John C. Cal
houn, the Nullitier.’ I heard Mr. Lewis speak fre
quently of our most distinguished statesmen, and on
one occasion I said, “yon have been frequently thrown

X Wife Compressed into a Kin;;.
A certain Russian noble, who lately visited
Paris, was noticed to be constantly plunged in
ieep saduess. He wore on his finger a very
rtaiarkuble ring, large euough for a bracelet,
d extended over his hand, like a buckler for
-? ring finger. It was of a greenish color,
ul was traversed by red veins. It attracted
^attention of everybody, but no one was
Id enough to interrogate the mysterious
wager, until one day, a lady meeting him in
ipublic parlor, ventured to say, ‘You wear a
rv handsome ring.’ The Russian made a
-jvement as though he would conceal his hand,
bat that feeling gave way to a desire to unbur-
o) himself. "‘It is not a ring,’ he answered,
•but a sepulchre.” A shudder passed through
'.be whole company. ‘This jewel, madam,' he
ijutiaued, ‘is iny wife. I had the misfortune
to lose her some years since in Russia. She
an Italian, and dreaded the icy bed which
-waited her after this life. I carried her re-
.aias lo Germany where I was acquainted
with a celebrated chemist, whom I directed to
xaake of the body a solid substance, which I
i oald always carry about with me. Eight days
utorwards he sent for me and showed me the
tapty coffin, a horrid collection of instruments
sod alembics. This jewel was lying on a ta
ble. He had through means of some corrosive
■ubstances and powerful pressure reduced and
expressed that which was my wife into this
jewel which shall never more leave me.’
This burial by chemistry is an improvement
upon the process of cremation lately proposed
by the French papers. Should it become pop
ular, a widow may hereafter have her husband
aade into a bracelet with a chain attached to
remind her of the hymenial bond. A husband
•ill have his wife done into n pin, and certain
academicians—old fogies—we know, would
■take very good coat buttons.
The Word Selali.
Every one who has read the Bible, has fre-
|{U«tly come across this seemingly unmean
ing word standing at the end of a verse, ap
parently disconnected from everything whicn
N* preceded it. The following informatioh
ia regard to its meaning, from the “Biblio-
! taa Sacra,” will be very acceptable and
' 1 ouch importance to many of our readers.
“The translators of the Bible have left the
Hebrew Selah, which often occurs in the Psalms,
»they found it, and the English reader often
his minister or learned friend, what it
Orans. And the minister or friend has most
‘den been obliged to confess ignorance, be
muse it is a matter in regard to which the
learned have by no means been of one
nind.
The Targunlk, and most of the Jewish com
mutators, give it the meaning of eternally,
: «ver. Rabbi Kimchi regards it as a sign
14 «levi.te the voice. The authors of the Sep-
•uagint translation appear to have regarded it
* musical or rythmical note. Ilender rc-
ftried- it as indicating a change of note;
"'Wwson as a musical note, equivalent per-
•*P J . to the word repeat. According to Lu-
!j w and others, it means silence! Gesenius
^plains it to mean. “Let the instruments
P**y and the singers stop.” Wocher regards

I was frequently with Mr. Lewis, when be resided
at L Lowndes boro, in Lowndes country, and subse
quently when be removed to the vicinitv of Benton,
near tbe dividing line of Lowndes nnd)DaIlas. The
last time that I ever visited him occurs to me, and
as some of the incidents which took place, are bub
bling up from tbe repertory of the past, I shall relate
them. It was in the summer of 1847. He had just
returned home from Washington by way of New
York, where he had been feasted and tonsted “to the
top of his bent” by tbe merchants and manufactur
ers. In fact I had scarcely taken a seat, after enter
ing the house, before I saw evidence that tbe In
dia rubber man bad been abont. India rubber
trunks, India rubber bags, India rubber capes, India
rubber cape and cloaks—-egad! ho was enveloped in
India rnboer. After wo had inspected these articles,
who should come in but his son John, looking like a
Texas ranger, end holding a yard-stick in his hand.
“Father,'’ said’John, “I have measured the band, and
it’s twelve inches wide, and (I think he said) forty
feet long.” “That will do,” replied Mr. Lewis,
“I'll write on to New York, to-morrow, abont the gin
bands.” The cat was out He was about to write
an India rubber manufactory, ordering a band of
India rubber, as eubstitnde for leather, in ginning his
cotton. I saw at once that tbe feasting in New York,
of which the newa-papera gave the most animated
accounts, had been purposely designed, having for
one of its objects the use or India rubber on tbe
southern farms. That evening I spent with thehand

A Curious Wcddin;
A letter from New York relates the follow-
ing ;
_An interesting weddingtook placea few days
since, between a Mr. Henry B. Melville and
Mrs. .Sarah K. Seymour. The parties have
both been married before, aud each have a fam
ily of seven children—those of the gentleman
comprising six daughters and a son, and those
of tbe lady six sons and a daughter. The sons
acted on the occasion as groomsmen to their
future father, and the daughters as bridesmaids
to their future mother. The whole fourteen
children, dressed alike, according to their I looks at the dog, he shall go back into the

An English paper relates the following anec
dote :
A gentleman, worthy of all credit, and who
may be the more readily trusted as liis story ac
knowledges bis own defeat, was aroused one I to your wishes, and in a month I shall have
niche, and only re-appear when he is no longer
looked at.”
The workman looked inquiringly, as if to as
certain whether his customer was not the vic
tim of some mystification. Re-assured by his
examination, and like a clever man, under
standing how to take advantage of the affair,
he said
What you ask of me is very hard to comply
with; such a snuffbox will be very expensive;
it will cost you a thousand crowns.”
“Very well; I’llpay you a thousand crowns

tbe first streak of day touched tbe window with its
fingers, I jumped up, and surveyed the field. The
bedstead was made for some giant—the chairs and
stools were Herculean—and having approached the
mantel-piece, I saw a sight that eclipesd everything.
At one end of the mantel-piece was a mineature like
liest of J. C. Calhoun, representing him when he
was about twenty-five years old; at the other end of
the mantle-piece was Mr. Lewis himself, as if to bal
ance the intellectual giant at the other end—and who
do you think was in the centre ? Why, no less a
anecdotes trench too nearly on reserved rights; and
vet what shall I do T Yon ask for a description of
Mr. Lewis? How can you have him as he was,
without my stating some of tbe peculiar traits of his
character? Nay more. In this morning we fell
into discussing some incidents which had taken
dace at Washington several years before. He found
limself frequently at fault, and at last he cried in his
Joud, abrupt tone, “Susan!” In a little time Mrs.
Lewis appeared at thedoorjnquiring what he wished.
“When did so and so take place at Washington ?”
After a little hesitation, she replied, and then return
ed to her duties. We had not got along very far
aiker this, when ho became puzzled again he called
jut, “Susan!” and again Mrs. Lewis.appeared, heard
what he had to say, replied, and then returned to her
business as before. She was his factotum. lie ap
pealed to her on alljoccasioni when he was doubtful
on any point, and in truth they seemed to be as much
one person as it is possible for man and wife to be.
Mrs Lewis was Miss Susan Elmore the lister of Frank
lin Elmore, who succeeded Mr. Calhoun in tbe Sen
ate of the United States i of Captain Benjamin El
more who Commanded the Richmond Rifles in the
first Florida campaign, and was afterward a compet
itor of Gov. Noble for tho chief magistracy of Soath
Carolina: of John A. Elmore, tho law partner of
William L. Yancey.in Montgomery, of Rush Elmore,
one of tho jndges of Kansas; of William Elmore,
wife cf Mr. Senator Fitzpatrick. Mrs. Lewis is cne
of the kindest aud noblest of her sex, and what pleas-
ed me more than anything else, was the interest she
took in all things that concerned Mr. Lewis.
If I am not mistaken, she always accompanied him
on his tour through his district in the recess of Con
gress—a tour that he seldom neglected, notwith
standing his physical infirmity, for he was one of the
large! t man that the world, perhaps, has ever seen.
IIo was as large as ten men put together—ten fat men
—and his head was large in proportion to his body.
But there was nothing superfluous about that hesd.
It was compact, aud his brow gave indelible and un-
mistakeable signs of intellect, as did that of Cha’les
Fox. the great English statu man. There is a like
ness of Lewis which 1 saw two years ago, in the
daguerrean gallery of Mr. McIntyre at Montgomery,
and which he told me was the property of Air. A.
J. Pickett. The likeness is a very good one, and de
serves to be copied.
It is impossible to mention Mr. Lewis without say-
ing something of his immense size.- He could scarce
ly walk. Ho could not visit his cotton fields, on foot
or horse-back, and therefore he caused roads to be
made, which he passed over in his wagon or carri
age, or whatever the vehicle may be called which ho
travelled in. This carriage was a large round box,
which opened in the rear, and it was at this portion
of it that ho asoended to his seat. It was drawn by
two stont horses, harnessed tandem fashion, and on
the lead horse his groom was mounted. This was his
travelling style; bis wife usually preceoded him in
in her carriage, and he, whip in hand, brought up the
rear, the little out rider forming a striking contrast
the stalwart statesman.
There are many anecdotes current about Mr. , I
Lewis, most of them touching his great size, on which combinations
he was exceedingly sensitive. It is well known to
every body that when the collision occurred between
the two steamers off tbe North Carolina coast, Mr.
Lewis refused to leave the sinking steamer: until
every human being had been safely provided for.—
Mrs. William C. Preston was present, and testified
to his gallantary on the occasion. He was brought
back to Charleston, where he remained several days.
“I like the people of Charleston,” said he to a fnend,
"for they can pass a man in the streets, without star
ing at him.” In one of his earliest electioneering
tours, he visited Camden, in Wilcox county. His
enormous size being a subject of general discussion,
the boys got up early on the morning oi the day of
his visit, and took the road to meet the monster. At
mid-day, tho villagers were startled by a universal
shout from the boys, as they rushed into town, ex
claiming, “Here he comes! here he comes I all evi
dently impressed with a belief that they had “ seen
the elephant.” .. , ,
He was like most fat men, a bit of a humorist. I will
tell you of an anecdote which occurred in congress
in 1830. Mr. Edward Everett, in his speecn against
the Indian bill, introduced official statements that
the Indians who emigrated west of tho Mississippi,
were in a very destitute and suffering condition, so
much so, indeed, that tbe living child had been bon
ed with the dead mother, for want of sustenance.
Mr. Lewis, said in reply, that Mr. Everett s appeal
to the sympathy of the house, reminded him ot an
old maid oi his acquaintance, who pitied a goose be
cause it had to go barefoot in winter.
He waa a very effective speaker, and from his
known ability, he was, wo presume, a prompt parlia
mentary debater. Great crowds used to assemble at
the public dinners tendered hin>by his constituents.
In defiance of the immense mass of fat which afflict-
ted and oppressed him, wo have seen him n.t llayne-
ville and at Richmond, in midsummer, speak for two
mortal hours when every particloofhis clothing was
dripping with water. He used a large fan on these
occasions, and some kind friends who occupied the
•stand, would assist him whenever the exertion of
fannins exhausted him. His manner of haranguing
the people—I cannot exactly call it stump speaking
—was very effective, impressive and emphatic, ue
would frequently rouse himself up when feeling the
effects of exhaustion, for a tremendous effort, like a
ciaut “shaking his invincible looks, and then speak
m a monarch’s voice from the fullness of his heart.
His style was compact, concise, emphatic, which was
occasionally varied by a jest or a sarcasm, without
which ingredients a stump speech would be i»^eo
sorry affair. The la*t time I ever heard him speak
was in the summer of 1843 or 4, at Richmond*
made a great speech ton great crowd When he
had concluded, one of the whig candidates for tho
legislature said to my old friend Mr. Tho mil Ki\ ers,
“1 can overturn everything that Mr. Lewis bas uid.
“ You!’’ replied Mr.Itives with ineffable disdain, why
you haven’t got sense enough.” This retort was fol
lowed bv a shout of laughter, but I mention it merely
exhibit tho confidence of his constituents in tho a-
bility of Mr. Lewis. . ..
He was strongly opposed to the nomination ot Gen
eral C^s for the "Presidency by the Democratic par-
tv. I asked him if General Cass was cordially united

Letter from a well known Physi-
CIAN.
Haverhill, Mass., June 1, 1856.
S. W. Fowle A Co.,—Gentlemen: While suffering
from Dyspepsia some years since, and trying almost
everything for its removal without any benefit, I
was accidently led to make use of the “Oxygenated
Bitters," aud after a short trial of them, found my
health improving, and in time my disease radically
removed. Since then I have used them in my prac
tice, and generally with good success. I know of
no medicine so well adapted to the cure of Dyspep
sia, in many of its aggravated forms. I have seen
the most stnbborn cases, which had resisted almost
all the preparations commonly used for Indigestion,
yield as by magic upon the administration of a few
doses of these Bitters. Such results have increased
my confidence in their medicinal powers, and
strengthened my convictions of their superiority over
all other instrumentalities, in the treatment of the
complaints for which they are recommended.
I would certaiuly advise those troubled with Dys
pepsia. to nse the Bitters, and I am confident all who
do so, will reap great benefit if there is nothing to
contra-indicate their use. A. R. PORTER.

MASTIC ROOFING.
Geo. Telegraph Office,
March 22d, 1858.
Gentlemen :—The roof you have lately placed up
__i the new Telegraph Building is perfectly tight.—
I believe it air tight: and as it is also manifestly fire
proof in the ordinary acceptation of the term, as ap-
ilied to roofing, the only open question is its dura-
itlity. Upon this point 1 see no reason to doubt that
it will fulfill all the ends of a water proof roofing
quite as long as tin put on in the ordinary way, aud its
susceptibility of very cheap repair is an important
consideration ia its favor. Time will be necessary
to establish all the claims of the Mastic Rooting to
public consideration: hut with the lights before me,
I cm certainly of the opinion that, its prico taken in
to tbe account, it is the most desirable roofmgl know
of for all the purposes you advertise.
Respectfully your ob't. Serv’t.

Weed’s Paleut Sewing Machine.
We have been often asked whieh is the best Sew
ing Machine in use, and to satisfy ourselves, have
spent some time in examining them all, and now
give car opinion to our readers for their benefit.
We purchased one of the above named Machines,
and have tried it ou every kind of work required in
family, and it gives the best satisfaction; doing its
work very rapidly, neatly and stronger than the usu
al hand work. It is muen harder to rip work done
on this Machine than that done in the ordinary way.
It is neat and tasty, being very nicely finished, and
to all appearance, simple, beyond the possibility of
getting out of repair, by ordinary use. It is very
strong and durable, and we are well assured one of
them will not wear out in years of constant use.—It
has already saved tailor’s and dressmaker's bills
enough in our family to pay its cost, aud we think it
n very profitable investment, to say nothing of its
convenience and the hours of needle work it saves a
mother. We must emphatically pronounce this
the best Sewing Machine in use, and the greatest
labor-saving invention of the day.

prietors of those Machines, have a sales room at 345

From the New York News.
Wo esteem it a pleasure resting upon our absolute
knowledge of its merits, to recommend Prof. Wood's
hair Restorative as the best article of the kind with
which we are acqoainted, and which has done, under
our own observation, all that it claims—and it claims
everything implied in its name.
This article, in short, will restore gray hair to its
original color, aud add to its growth and beauty
wherever any blight or disease has checked that
growth or marred that beauty. -This has been prov
ed in our family within a few weeks, and in numer
ous other cases related to us, v ithout the knowledge
of the proprietor. We have only to add that this
most valuable article is -for sale by the proprietor, at
No. 312 Broadway.
