DESPERATE sU1cIDE.-C Coroner jackson held an in
guest this morning at No. 1886 Houston street. upon
the body Of Conrad Kohler, German, aged Al years,
who committed suicide by poisoning himself. Koh.
Ter was once well to do in bis own country and held
the position Of postmaster in the city Of Brenshena,
Dukedom Of Hesson Darmstadt. About year ago
he came to this city, reduced in circumstances, and
tried to make living in the daguerreoype business
His reduced circumstances and impatient disposition
often rendered him one Of the most miserable and de-
jectea of beings. On Sunday afternoon about 8
O'Clock, two young women called at his room to have
their likenesses TAKEN One Of them he took salts
factorly, but the second was imperfect result
which threw Kohler into it Of passion. He said be
would take the likeness again, but Immediately ex-
cused himself to the customers, and remarking that
his apparatus was bad and they must call again Mrs.
Kohler repeated the same apology. She had just
then brought in from the druggists package Of
cyanide potassa, instantaneous and deadly poison
used in the process Of preparing dagnerreotypes and
handed it to her husband, when he instantly bit off
piece off it and asked her for water. She exclaimed,
for heavens sake, what are you going to do =" but
he made no reply. Putting his mouth to the water
faucet he swallowed the drug stared wildly for Sc
cond or two, and fell feless upon the floor without
saying word. The jury rendered a verdict Of sui.

SHE DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.-Prof. Jacob Grimm re-
lates the following anecdote:
Not long ago little girl Of about eight years old.
apparently belonging to good family, rings at the
door of DR.. Grimm, and tells the servant that she
wishes to speak to the Herr Professor.n
Thinking that the little one had to deliver mes.
sage the servant shows her into he study of the Pro-
lessor, who received her kindly and asked after her
Grand. The child looks at him with earnest eyes,
and says: "Is it thou who hast written those fine
Marchen ?" (fairy taes) ayes, my dear p answered
Dr. Grimm, "my brother and have written the Hans
Marchen." "Then thou hast also witten the tale Of
the clever little tailor, where 10 said at the end who
have written that too.n hWell, then, do not be-
lieye it, and suppose have to pay thaler but
as have not SO much money now, III give thee

The savant, as may be imagined mot little sur
prised and amused. He inquired after the name Of
