SINGULAR SUIcIDE.-Phe Concor-
dia Intelligencer Of last Saturday
says that an Indian, belonging to the
remnantof the Choctaw tribe, which
still fingers near the ancient hunting
grounds, committed suicide some
days since, on Mr.. William Ferri-
days plantation, in that parish, after
very novel and ingenious fashion.
Tying one end Of piece of buck
skin TO the trigger of his rifle. and
attaching the other end Of the thong
TO small tree, he stretched himself
deliberately upon the ground, and
pulling the muzzle toward him, met
death from the fearful piece, which
may often before have been the in
strument OF il in his hands, upon the
warpath, or amid the Businesses OF
his native forests.
This is the only instance Of sui
eide by an Indian Of which we have
ever heard. 1t is not in the free,
outdoor life of these hardy people
that those "bIack humors" are nur.
tured, which, in the heart of civiliza-
tion, lead 10 self-murder and mad
ness. We are told that the poor
suicide had. while under the infu-
ence Of strong drink, murdered a
member of his tribe, a friend and
brother, and that this was the de-
Iiberate, seli-decreed expiation OF the
crime.

DREADFUL AccIDEST.-An explo-
sion took place this morning about
10 o'clock, at the United States Ar
senal, Cannonsboro', in two brick
buildings ~ by Is, used as laborato-
ries, attached to the Arsenal, by
which John Baltser was instantly
killed. We are informed by the
commanding officer at The Arsenal
that Baltser was employed as pyro-
technist, and had been engaged for
two or three days in preparing a
handsome assortment Of fireworks
for display on the Odd Of February,
commemorative Of Washington's s
birth day.
1t is supposed, by one OF the sol
diers who had been working with
Baltser, and had short time before
the accident left the room, that IN
ramming the Roman Candles, the

ALTHOUGH these works are distinguished
A by the political shades above indicated, yet
but small portion of their contents is devo-
ted TO political subjects. IL is their literary
character which gives them their chief value,
and in that they stand eonfessedly far above
all other journals Of their class. Bldck7cood,
still under the mastery guidance Of Christo-
pher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from
the serial works Of Bulwer and other literary
notabIes, written for that magazine, and first
appearing in its columns both in Great Bri-
tain and in the United States. Such works
as "The Caxtonsn and my New Novel;"
(both by Bulwer), ANY Peninsular Medal y
ssThe Green Hand" ami other serials, Of
which numerous rival editions are issued BY
the leading publishers in this country, have to
be reprinted BY those publishers from the pa
ges of Baekwood. after it has been issued by
Messrs. Scott & Co., so that subscribers to the
Reprint of that Magazine may always rely on
having the earliest reading Of these facinSting
tales.
These Reprints have now been in successful
operation in this country for tl0eaty years, and
their circulation is constantly on the increase
notwithstanding the competition they encoun-
ter from American periodicals OF similar
class and from numerous Eeleeties and Maya
zines made up of selections from foreign peri
odieals. This fact shows clearly the high esti
nation in which they are held by the intelli-
gent reading public, and affords a guarantee
that they are established on firm basis, and
will be continued without interruption.

The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun says:

The Washington correspondent
Of the Baltimore Sun says:
Private letters from Hungary give
most frighIful accounts Of the increas-
ing poverty and crime. One-third
of the population are starving, and
the rest unwilling to work, with the
benefit Of their labor merely accru-
ing TO a foreign tyrannical govern
ment. Yet il is the doctrine Of
Austria that fourteen millions lDere
created that one man should rule oUer
them and that man is Francis Jo-
seph, OF the House Of Hapsburg
LOrTdin. .-.-.. ..
This is perfectly Just statement
OF the continental theory Of
government, which the monarchs
OF Russia, Austria, and France are
striving TO carry into practice. The
millions are created, and exist only
for the sake Of being ruled bv one
man and his defendants. Their Ia
Dor must fill his Golfers. They must
toll and suffer that he may be power
fuI. Their bread is snatched from
the lips OF their children, that il may
feed all army 10 cut their throats If
they venture 10 object. And this is
called preserving Orderi
Hundreds Of millions Of people
exist in Europe only for the aggran-
dizement Of four or five reigning
families. Their liberties, their per.
sonal rights, their hopes, and their
enioyments are all held subject TO
the will of these men who rule over
them. They are compelled to pay,
from their hard earnings, millions
upon millions Of dollars to support
and arm soldiers for no other pur-
pose than TO butcher them If they
demonstrate against this tyranny, OF
show any symptoms Of desire to
throw il of. If this state Of things
is necessary-if society cannot be
preserved on any better terms than
this, it is not worth preserving.
