DEPLoRABLE AFFAIR-DEATH FROM INHAL-
ING sea- oRoFoRN. The wife of Mr.. ii. /.
Pope. of this city, came to her death on Sat
urday, under the most distressing circumstan-
ces. She was suffering from headache. and in
baIed chloroiorm to alleviate the pain. When
her little children started to the dancing school
Mrs. Pope was lying on the bed inhaling chic
reform. When they returned, she was discov-
cred with a handkerchief over her mouth and
dead! She was cold, and had been dead for
several hours. The alarm was given, but Of
course, no restorative could reanimate the
body with life.-LouisriMe Courier, 18Th.

His speech was cntirely Tree froa personalities
Of any sort, being rs calm aud passionlcss as Il
the speaker had no ambition to,gratify, and no
wrongs to repel. 1t gives one a lofty idea OF
his intellectual ability and ~selfcontrol. and
produces a wish that its tone and temper, its
calm, phiIosophic style. could find; a larger
number of imitators in congressional discus
Gons.
If the country could feel perfectly sure that
Mr.. Stewards moderation is sincere and not
assumed on account of recent events. and with
n view, mainly, to the chances of a Presiden-
tial nomination, this speech would go far to-
ward calming the existing excitement in the
public find. And, whether it is sincere or
not, this effect ought to follow TO a certain ex-
tent, for, if it is assumed, that is an evidence
that public sentiment in the North requires
that aspirants for the Presidency shall free
themselves from the charge of Eanaticism and
take more conservative ground in the treat
msnt Of the great question of the day.

The programme for the great Editorial Ex-
e~ursion, heretofore referred to, is about ar
ranged. The Cincinnati Enquirer, speaking
by authority, gives the following details of the
project:
The design is to invite every editor in the
Hest and South Hest, as well as at any other
points, who may desire to join the excursion,
each person having the privilege of taking
with him a lady. 1t is designed that the en-
tire party, as far as possible, will meet at
Wheeling. on Friday, the 18th of April next,
from which point a special train will leave at
eight o'clock A. NJ, stopping for dinner at the
Company's new hotel at Grafton Junction,
and reaching Cumberland in time for supper
after viewing some two hundred miles of the
road, including its mountain divisions and
boldest scenery. From Cumberland, the par
ty will either proceed in the express train, in
sleeping cars, direct to Baltimore or Washing
ton, (either of which they reach for breakfast
Saturday morning or remain over night and
take the special train for either point west in
the morning, arriving at Baltimore or Wash
ington for early tea.
Those who receive a ticket, and cannot
make it convenient to meet at Wheeling on
the 18th, can avail themselves of the courtesy
extended at any time during the present ses-
sion Of Congress.
Some thirty odd roads join in the affair, and
it is designed that a single ticket shall carry
the holder upon a continuous link Of railroads
from St. Joseph, Mo, to Baltimore.

IN NOTHING HAS Custom CHAyGED MORE THAN
IN THE TREATMENT OF TIIE SICK But a little
while ago bleeding. b~Iistrrs. cathartics, and
emetics. formed the staple of medical treatment.
1t was customary to give large doses of the
most active and poisonous medicines. and nat
untrequently IL man's reputation depended up
on the sizes Of his doses. Among the people
cathartics and emetics were common, and n
dose of pills was the prescription for almost
every imaginable ailment.
There was an underlined idea that disease was
a material something which had unaccounta-
bly, got into n man. and must be physiced,
bl3d. hlistcred, or swcatcd cut of him. 1t was
a sort of material bcwitchery, which must be
exercised and cast out.
But all this is now bravcly altered. The
mildest means are most popular. The lancet
and blister plaster are almost unknown. All
the torturing adjuncts of the old-School pI1tc-
ticc are mainly laid aside, and nature, not phys
ic, is relied upon, while. physicians now often
boast how little medicine they give.
Homeopathy has had much to do in thus
changing public sentiment. Her mild doses
and measures, and above all the sentiments Of
mildness bre ithed in her practice, and its emf
nent success, have inspired the people with con-
fidcnce in mild measures and IL repulsion to the
old practices. Among those who have con-
tributed to this change Prof. HUMPHREYS stands
pre- eminent. His extensive advertisements
and writings, the very general introduction of
his Specific Homeopathic Remedies. and their
unquest1GneG succe:s. have demonstrated
practically tie durability of disease by the mild
sugar pill doses, while he has gained an envia-
BILE reputation by the success of his system
The arguments of Homeopathy may or may
not be sound, but its practical success in the
form of Specifics is beyond question, and its
influence in forming a better public sentiment
not less decided.

The execution of Stephens and Hazlett
took place at noon on Friday last, in accor-
dance with their sentence. Like their associ-
ates who preceded them on the scafFold, they
met their fate with unfliching frmness. There
was a large crowd of spectators present, but
none OF the ceremonions parade INDUCED in
by Wise on the occasion of the execution Of
the other prisoners. Stephens died hard, but
struggle.
The New York Evening Post, in referring to
these executions, aud the earnestress with
which the Virginia authorities continue their
efforts to secure additional victims, INDUCES in
the following reflections, which are as just as
they are uncomplimentary to the humanity of
Gov. Letcher and his official advisers:
When General Lopez and a number of
equally misg uided young men from the slave
States made a similar attack on Cuba, the
Spanish authorities executed the principal Of
fender, and, at the request of several OF our
public men, permitted the others to return to
this country. This was the act of a people
considered the most blood-thirsty in Christen-
dom. Whatever may be said of the impropri.
ETY. of the Harper's Ferry instruction, no per-
son doubts that the motives of those engaged
in it were worthy. Surely the deluded follow
ers of John Brown might have been treated
with as much magnanimity by the Eirginians as
young Crittenden and his companions were by
the Cuban authorizes. After five persons had
been led to execution Governor Letcher might
have felt that the claims of justice were folly
satisfied, and at least committed the sentences
of the remaining two criminals. Must the
Old Dominion be so much more ~unforgiving
than the country of Philip the Second and Pi-
Zarro?

ANOTHER TERRIBLE ASSASSINATION IN KEN
rucxY.-The louisville Courier, of Friday
said :
Jefferson county has been the scene of an
other. fearful tragedy of a most mysterious
character. Lima FL. Snapp was assassinated
on Monday night, at his mothers house, on
che Bardstown turnpike, ID miles from the
city. The unfortunate man was near the fire,
playing with his child. and in conversation
with his wife, who was standing close by him,
when a gun was fred through the window
Mr.. s. received a load of buckshot in his breast
and was instantly killed, and the child receiv-
ed W shots in the body, causing serious but
not dangerous wounds. Mrs. Snapp was not
hurt.
The cowardly assassin made his escape unde-
tected. The murdered man has been embroil-
ed in various difficulties in years past, partly
arising from domestic affairs and his reckless
conduct. He rode, on a rail a short time since,
with the aid of a score of men, who ended
their exploit by ducking him in a horse pond.

We are evidently to have a Mexican war ii
possible, as an aid for the Democratic cause In
the next Presidential contest. -Four thousand
troops are ordered to the eastern frontier OF
that country, through whose operations it will
not be difficult, as in the last contest, to COM
mence hostiIities without waiting for a formal
declaration of war by Congress 4 skirmish
can be got up with the band of Cortinas or
some other Guerilla chief, and forthwith it will
be declared that /" war exists By the act of Mex
ico," and the fighting proceed without inter
ruption.
But, lest there should be any failure on the
part of the land forces, the navy is to be
brought into requisition in order to make the
thing sure beyond peradventure. The teie-
graph brings intelligence of an engagement
before Vera Cruz, between the u S. Sloop of
War Saratoga and two Spanish or Mexican
Steamers, in which quite a number of men
were slain and the steamers captured. These
steamers approached Vera Cruz having been
fitted out at Havana for the purpose Of aid
ing Marmiron, the leader of the Church party,
in his contemplated attack on that city, which
is held by the Jaurez party. 1t is supposed
the commander of the Saratoga acted in ac-
cordance with instructions from our Govern
ment-and Mr.. Hale in the Senate, and Mr..
Stanton in the Honse, have introduced resolu-
tons calling for information on the subject
that by Mr.. Hale passing, while that by Mr..
Stanton, being objected to, went over under
the rule. The affair has caused 70 little ex-
citement in Washington.

A gambler known as Mountain Jack. per-
formed an extraordinary feat of physical
strength a few nights ago., in the bar room of
the ST. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, where a
large number of the carnival jewellers had as
sembled. A drunken fellow, dressed in Indian
costume, rode o horse into the bar room and
dismounted to take a drink, and while at the
bar another drunken fellow climbed into the
saddle. Mountain Jack, as his name indicates,
is a giant in SIZE, six feet seven inches high,
finely proportiCned, and possessed of enormous
strength, even beyond his colossal proportions.
He was at the time on a spree, and a fancy
Selling him, he stopped over the horse, placed
his right arm around his belly just behind his
Gorelegs, and lifted the animal off his legs, RI
der and all, and threw them heavily upon the
floor, with a shock hat Jared the whole house.
On finding himself down, the horse refused to
get up, and the giant again laid hold of him
and set him up on his pins, in order to release
the bruised and helpless rider, who had fallen
partly under the beast, and who considered
himself lucky to escape without broker bones.
Later in the day Jack got to throwing tum-
blers promiscuously, and was arrested by the
united efforts Of about twenty men.
