MELANCHOLY SUIciDE-A MAN DESTROYS
HIMSELF ny SWALLOWING Two OUNCES OF
LAUDANUM. - Yesterday afternoon man
named Joseph Robinson, residing at the cor
ner of Fourth and Park, committed suicide
by swallowing almost two ounces Of lauda-
mum. Coroner Carey was called upon to
hold an inquest upon the body, but the cir
cumstances which led him to the act were
not developed. He had been somewhat de-
pressed in spirits of late, for which even his
wife could not account, but arose yesterday
morning as usual and was, apparently, in Il
better mental condition than he had been for
many days.
About noon he fell into deep sleep, from
which he could not be aroused, and his wife
becoming alarmed, sent for physician, after
which it was discovered that he had taken a
very large quantity of tincture of opium.
Every effort was made to save him from the
effects of the poison, but without avail, and
about four o'clock he died. f .-n-
The deceased was a native of Ireland about
forty years of age, and leaves wife and two
children. The case is somewhat remarkable,
from the fact that suicides seldom occur
among persons of his nativity, this being the
first Instance which, in our experience, VIC
remember to have heard.

scenery has been painted In the moe gorgeous STYLE
while the dresses are said to be superb. Halevy's

The Pure Party.

The late leaders and spokesmen Of the Re-
publican party in this State seem to be in a
considerable ferment. just now, about the
official appointments to be made by Abe Lin.
coin Our cotemPorary, of the Appeal, hopes
that the credit of the party will be preserved
by the selection of men morally and intellec-
tually bit for the position, and then winds up
by vigorous recommendation of gentle,
man of Nevada for the place of the Collector
OF Customs at San Francisco Thus will it
be, till all the places are filed The patriotic
journals, of the genus Republican, have their
own idea each for itself, as to the kind of
men who best fill the measure of fitness for
the office to be secured OF course, none but
good and true men should hold the position,
but, then, their man is at last the very one
who does fill the measure and come up to the
standard. All preach homiies on public
virtue and private integrity but the concu-
sion is in the end So and So is tie man for
the place.
ltis really wonderful, that, with such an
exalted standard Of moral and intellectual
strength as has been set up, there should be
so many prominent men among the Repubr-
cans who can be measured by it and not fall
an inch shorter. All the aspirants are ex-
aetly of height. They are, in the requi
sites of honesty and ability all precisely si1
feet two, (by a little tip-toeing) and large il
proportion!
Is it not possible, now, that just few 0
these men, who are so loudly and vehement
ly endorsed by the papers of the victorious
party, may be leetle bit dishonest or leetl,
bit lacking in the upper story? Can it lC
possible that so much virtue and so mucl
capacity have been concentrated in the Re.
publican ranks? We hope our friends of til,
Lincoln brotherhood are not going to monop
olize all the virtue and integrity in the land
We hope they will leave us poor Democrat
little mite, just for seed We used to hav,
some honesty with us and some ability, bu
1t may be that Weeks and other Old Lin,
Democrats who left us in the late eampaipn
have taken it all with them. Don't let then
keep it, good, kind Republican friends, bu
cause them to restore part of it at least
just for humanity's sake.
The way that these Republicans abuse tn
poor old Democratic party is a little too hard
We know we have been great sinners, an,
that you are all good and pure, but then w

The HOMICIDE AT VIRGINIA CIrY.-Speak-
ing Of the killing of Martin J. Burke | y Wm'
Fitzgerald, at Virginia City on Sunday the
% inst the Territorial Enterprise says
1t appears that Fitzgerald went into Mr..
Burkes saloon twice during the morning, and
called for drink, and having no money to
pay for it, was told that he could not get
liquor in that way Sometime afterwards he
entered again and asked for Burke. Before
the latter made his appearance, Fitzgerald
threw down half dollar on the bar, at the
same time making some remark about
puppy. Some words passed between the
parties, aud tumbler was thrown by Burke
and a knife exhibited by Fitzgerald about
the same time. They clinched. and man
10y the name of Whipple caught hold of Fitz
gerald, endeavoring to put an end to the en-
counter. Hugh Kennedy, employed in the
saloon also got revolver and snapped 1t at
Fitzgerald several times, but it seems the
hammer happened TO fall upon the barrels
which were unlOaded Fitzgerald then stag
g-red out of the saloon, and fell in front of
the door. In attempting to rise, he was
struck at by Kennedy with the revolver
Fitzgerald went through the post office, ad-
Joining the saloon and from there to the JUS
tees office On examination. several knife
wounds were found on the body of Burke,
some of them penetrating the lungs Burke
died the same night Considerable excite :
ment was created Ivy the occurrence, and
some talked of lynching-a vigilance COM
mittee, DC, but the good sense of the people
of Virginia put ready quietns upon any
such proceeding. Fitzgerald was committed
10y Justice Waterman to the custody of the
Sheriff, to await the action Of the next Grand
Jury.

LADIES FEsrIvAL.-We dropt in at the La
moments, and found everything as gay and
brilliant as an Arabian Palace. Creatures as
fair as the beings of fairy land floate1 around
us, and beautiful gipsey offered to tell us
our fortune. We were afraid of her wicked
eyes at first and refused, but she wiled us
into it at last, and we can't say that we are
sorry. Our fortune was not so bad as we
expected, and it was told SO sweetly that we
could have borne it, had it been the heaviest
hand of fate.
We saw postoffice duly presided over 10y
one of those natural disseminstors of news,
q female. We can't say that she was bad
looking. There we're a hundred other inter
esting departments the mysteries of which
We did not stay long enough to comprehend
but we noticed that the deities there ruling
were of no sSmmon order. We also not ced
that there were many worshipers offering
sacrifices at their shrines OF course W,
gradually got around to the main point o
attraction to a merely earthly being, to wit
the supper table, and we found it superb AL
sorts of delicacies were there, everything il
fact that the heart could desire, and minis.
tsring angels fitting about us, minus their
wings.
There was much else that was beauti.
ful, but we have only a dreamy recol-
lection of it and cannot enter into detailed
description. If you want to see a combina
tion of attractions and to breathe in an at
mosphere of Low veliness, go to the Fair and
Festival, this evening. You can take O
dance there, too if you are not afflicted with

PRoGREss OF THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAIL
RoAD-A REPORTED CONTRACT WITH FRENCH
CAPTALIsTs.-The st. Louis correspondent of
the Alta, writing under date of November
24th, says:
The Texas Pacific Railroad is progressing
slowly. DR.. FOwlkes has recently visii ed New
Orleans, and reports that the work in Texas,
is under good Roadway, and that several
hundred hands are now employed in grading
the section under the contract let out in July
last to Degraff Smith. A part of the iron
for this section is purchased and in the hands
of the Company. and negotiations are going
| forward for the remainder This is strong
move in the right direction, is every mile
the road advances, strengthens it in every
particular.
But the most encouraging information de-
rived from our interview with Dr. Fowlkes
is an explanation of the contract made in
september last, with the American represen.
tative of an important and powerful associa-
tion of French capitalists. BY the terms of
this contract the French Company are to take
81 100000 of the convertible bonds of the
Company, for which they are to pay cash at
par; after which they contract to build the
entire road across Texas, and prospectively
to the Pacific Ocean-including iron and
rolling stockton a simple pledge of the road
and other securities of the Company, which
they hold for sale to actual settlers, crediting
the Company with the full receipts for the
same, less the commission. A more favora-
bic contract for the Pacific Company can
scarcely be conceived as it not only frees it
from money embarrassments and gives it
strength to press rapidly through to the Pa
ci6c, but insures full returns for the lands re-
ceived from Texas. OF the ability of the
French capital sts TO carry out their contract
there can be no question, as their very exal-
ted financial position has been certified in this
country 10y the highest financial and offcia
evidence from Paris The contract, it is true,
was conditioned on its ratification in Paris,
but letters received by Mr.. Bisbie, of Virgin
ia, who is now in the city, frorn one of the
leading members of the association in France
leave little doubt but that the contract will
be fully ratified. Mr. Bisbie was the princi-
pal party in bringing about this negotia-
ton.

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-About half past nine
o'clock on last Saturday evening. teamster
Damed George Bermely, and another teams
ter name unknown, were stopped near Ne
vada by two robbers, who ordered them to
fork over" The Transcript says that Mr.
Bermely handed over to them $90-his com
panion, not having any money with him,
could, of course, give them none-after which
the robbers ordered them to return to town.
One of the scoundrels was a man of high
statnre, the other, on tho contrary, was quite
short. The Transcript says there is no doubt
that these fellows belong to gang whose
headquarters are in Nevada; and, consider.
ing the number of graduates of San Quentin
TO be seen in the streets of that city, the won.
der is that more of these robberies do not
take place.

against fence with such force as to throw
him at least fifteen feet out upon the ground.
The sulky righted and the horse dashed off
for town with it, bringing up at one of the
stables. The accident happened near the
residence of Mr.. Sansoni He and his wife
were Immediately upon the spot and render
ed such aid as they could. Meantime a gen.
tleman and lady, riding in buggy, came
past, and were requested to go for DR.. Gray.
In few moments the doctor came in his
carriage. and after examining the patient,
conveyed him to his (Bayley's) house. where
he attended him. The doctor informs us
that he is not seriously hurt, although he
has painful cash on his head of nearly six

DANGEROUS FALL-Y esterday afternoon, a

tion of the new building in progress of COM
pletion at the corner of Second and D streets
met with a very serious accident A loose
piece OF tin had been placed over a scuttle in
the roof, in apprehension of rain the dav be-
lore While engaged in timing the portion
OF the roof adjacent the unfortunate work
man stepped on this piece of loose tin, and
went through the hole, falling distance of
1871 feet, to the joists for the floor of the
second story. He fell cross-wise upon the
joists, and was severely if not dangerously
bruised, although he managed to walk down
a ladder to the first floor. The blood gushed
from his ears, but none of his bones were
broken. We did not learn what doctor at.

sent for. The extent of his injury would
probably be better known, some hours after
the accident, than at the time. We under
