that the old gentleman who gave such dulcet

DIsGRAcEFUL AND CRmINAL.-D. Wand, a dry
goods dealer Of Sacramento recently fired pistol
at his wife, and Immediately thereafter shot him
self in the mouth; the ball lodged in the back
part Of the head, but the attempting suicide is
not yet dead In what was meant for dying
declaration, Wand stated that he had discovered
A. r. Melony, State Controller in criminal inter
course with his wife. Melony boarded at his
house, and frequently took the woman to theatres;
the husband remarked their increasing
intimacy, and having made an aperture in the
wall of Melonys room discovered their criminal
conduct Thus he states.
There is scarcely room TO doubt the guilt of the
man who holds an honorable office. If guilty, he
will, of course, be compelled to resign and hide
the disgrace which will otherwise attach TO his
party. The only mitigating circumstance discov-
cradle is that the woman is asserted to have been
previously irail, and that the husband had con
cealed her guilt for the sake of their child.

A WITTY FELLOW illustrates the grand scramble
in the world by a ludicrous figure; laundering
big, sleek ball, with a multitude of chattering
apes trying TO surmount it, slipping, sliding
scratching, and swearing at each other in monkey
dialect-the apes that sit on the ground being the
only ones who carefully discern the righteousness
of the sorape, Now and then persevering chap
gets on top, but another coming up the side,
punches him from behind and sets him to teter-
ing and sitting down for greater security, he
slides off, a la boy on snow-sled and tears his
trousers worse by the fall. We suppose it would
be hardly decorous or Democratic to apply this
illustration TO Mr.. Buchanan-and we sha'nt do
