THE. SUICIDE.

THE. SUICIDE.
Timotheus Jeems Augustus Brown
Took cold into his head. ssia
And sneezsi from morn till night, until
He wished that he was dead.
'l'll take my worthless lifc," said he,
A0 took his razor down:
Bot then he changed his mind. and thought
'Twould easier be to drown.
He walked unto the waters edge,
Loud sneezing as he went: 5t5
But staid to say his prayers, until
iscourage all was spent.
And then he thought of other plans
To cut his thread of life:
And wondered which least painful was,
The halter or the knife.
At length in sheer despair. he strolled
To where Sue Jenkins dwslt,
And. sneezing his apologies,
Before her face ne knelt.
BE told her he was tired of life,
And knew not what 10 do, .... 4
If she would not consent to be
His dearly loved-a-tchoo!
She did consent. though modestly,
And soon became his brile:
Yet still he swears that he will end
His life by Saey's side!

THE LATE CLARKsvILbE (PENN.) BRIDGE
DIsAsTER-CAusE OF THE CATAsTRoPHE.-Th
Clarksville Jefersonian in giving an account
of the disaster ut the railroad bridge which
we have published, explains the manner in
which the accident occurred as follows:
The men were carrying timber over
temporary suspension bridge, formed Of four
iron rods ON inch and q quarter in thickness,
upon which was placed trestle-work the entire
length, TO raise it 10 the required highth, to
enable the understandings to pass from the
permanent span on this side, already COM
pleted, to the center pier, upon which the
draw-span is now being erected, up and down
the river. The iron rods forming the founda-
ton of this temporary structure were each
about twenty feet in length, and coupled to-
gether with bolts and screws and secured
with. q nut on the outside. 1t is thought that
one of the nuts must have worked loose by
the vibration of the bridge, which was CON
siderable, and permitted the bolt to lose its
hold. The length of the span is about one
hundred and twenty feet. Although the
structure was fraiI looking one it seemed
to have sufficient strength, and as the heaviest
timbers to be used in the draw had already
been passed safely over, all doubts as to its
ability to fulfil the purpose of its erection had
passed away. Many Of our citizens passed
over it every day to- examine the progress OF
| the work. fr. =

Terrible Tragedy in Mississippi-A Wealthy
Planter Beats His Son TO Death.

A most terrible affair occurred in De Soto
County, Miss, ten miles north of Hernando,
a few days ago. William Nesbitt a planter
of that county, says the Memphis Erening
argus, wished his son, a young man who had
recently embarked in business, to take q gem
tleman, who was fayorite ofthe old s5entle-
man, in the estaDllshment as partner. The
young man objected to the arrangement in
very stern terms, and a quarrel ensued.
During the quarrel the young man stepped
in the doorway of, the store, remarking that
he would deliberate on what his father had
proposed until the next morning. AT this
the old gentleman, enraged that his son
would not obey him, seized'a billet Of wood,
and striking the young man on the head,
felled him to the floor, and afterward dealt
him three or four additional blows, fractur-
ing the skull, and horribly mangling him.
Nesbitt was Immediately ARRESTED and con-
fined in Jail to await the issue of his sons
wounds. After lingering two or three days
the young man died ,Nesbitt is wealthy
planter, and has heretofore been universally
esteemed. ha'-,A' '.i +'

writes to the Courier des Eats Unis that M.
de Pcrsigny, the French Minister, is tired OF
the embassy to London, because OF the present
attitude of England and the collision which
lately occurred in a, salon between his wife
and Madame de Rothschild. Both ladies, il
seems, met at the door of fashionable quar-
ter, when Nine, de Persigny essayed to take
rather with nervous fingers took hold of the
dress which obstructed her passage and tore
It.. Nine. de Persigny repFoachfully told her
Ratpgenist that she behaved like Jewess,

caused much trouble and vexation of spirit to
the husbands of these ladies. reg I'd
