kNOTHER AMEJUCAN TRAGEDY,

The Cincinnati papers give an account of a melancholy
tragedy which has recently taken place in that town.
It appears that a young man, named Thomas Eugene
de Marbais, had a wife living in an improper house in
Plum-street. He had five times previously attempted
.to kill himself and his wife. One evening he sent the
following note to his wife Send me word by the boy,
may I come and see you ? I wait an answer' on the corner.
I cannot exist without seeing you. Let me come; must
see you very soon. Oh, Blanche ! Blanche ! Blanche ! I
am very repentant. Come ! Come ! I cannot live with-
out seeing you." About eleven o'clock at night he
called at the house in Plum-street, and desired to see
- his wife. She came down to see him, and he told her
he wanted to walk out with her, and, said he, " I am
going to kill you." She said she was not afraid, and
they went out together. Soon afterwards the police
were startled by hearing two pistol reports at the cr,rner
of Plum-street and Eighth-street. They immediately
ran to the spot, and found Blanche sitting up quietly,
while De Marbais was stretched at full length on the
pavement, apparently dead. Upon being assisted up
De Marbais exclaimed, "There is no one to blame but
me ' • I did it !" and Blanche said, " I came out of
the house to die." She then added, " Oh, my daughter !
oh, my daughter !" Her daughter, it seemed, was
with the Marsh troupe. Upon examination it was
found that Blanche was shot in the left breast lust above
the nipple, and that De Marbais was shot in the right
ear. The latter said they had taken thirty grains of mor-
phine divided into two portions. Blanche is a young
woman of great beauty, and has a sweet countenance. It
is thought she is French. De Marbais is a young man who
had been well off, but had lately fallen into a state of
great want and misery, and had been in the negro
minstrelsy business. Several letters were found upon
him addressed to his wife and his mother and sisters.
In these letters he speaks of the extreme distress to
which he had been reduced ; that the public of this
cold-hearted city had refused him employment, and he
had been left destitute. He earnestly repeats how sin-
cerely he, had loved his wife, and how faithful she had
been to him, until she had been obliged to desert him
through greater misfortunes than want. He says the
principal cause of his misfortunes arose from the conduct
of a clerk in a large drug store. That 'if a man did
wrong once they would not help him, but trampled
him under foot. He then goes on to state that the
step taken by himself and his wife had been taken de-
liberately, and because they preferred death to a dis-
honsurable life.
