suicideof United states senator James
81. Lime.

81. Lame
LEAyENwoRTH, July 2.
Senator Lane came up from st. Louis on
Friday last, and went directly to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Mccall, upon the Government
farm. Before leaving st. Louis his CONVEX
sation indicated determination to commit
suicide, causing him to be closely watched
by his friends, they even getting possession
of his pocket knife, fearing it might be used
for the fatal purpose. On Sabbath afternoon
he desired to ride out, Mccall brought Up
his carriage and invited Mr.. Adams to ride
with them. After getting into the carriage
Lane expressed desire to return to his
room for his cane, refusing to allow any one
to go for him. Returning with his cane,
they drove out upon the heights overlook
ing the fort and city Mr.. Lane entered
freely and cheerfuIly into conversation, re-
marking upon the beauty of the city and
Landscape In returning they had to pass
through gate that separated two fields
Mccall alighted to open the gate, and Mr..
Lane stepped down from the carriage,
at the same time passing round to the
rear, and said goodbye, gentlemen,
and instantly discharged pistol, with its
muzzle in his mouth. The ball passed out
at the top of his head, near the centre of his
skull, producing fatal wound
There has been a consultation of six ply
sicians at Lanes room to-day. Nothing
can be done for him; all hope is past
Mrs. Lane is with him. He may linger for
two or three days, yet it is doubtful. He
has not opened his eyes since last night, but
presses his wifes hand, and is furnished
with a small piece of ice when he puts his
tongue out, this being the only sign of con-
seriousness he shows.
There is much feeling here, and more
against Lane at present than ever shown.

Public Close OF SCHOOL


The Public Schools Of this city closed the last term
of the school year. last week; of the lower de-
partments closing on Thursday and the High Schoo
on Friday. The committees who were appointed to
attend the examinations of the several classes were
unable to discharge the duties assigned them, so full
ly as was desirable; consequently no written reports
were made. The exercises in the different depart
ments on the closing days of the term, consisted
chiefly of reviews of the studies pursued during the
term. 1t is very generally conceded that the schol
acquitted themselves credtably; eyincing faithful
instruction the part of the teachers. Indeed it
may safely be sad that most of the teachers are
est and devoted to their Calling not that they are all
model teachers, but it is believed they will compare
avoraby with those elsewhere employed, in institu-
tions of learning of this kind. The success Of our
schools in their different Departments is always de-
pendent in good degree, upon the efficiency ofthe
Principal of the High School, he having not only the
management of the High School department, but al
so exercising influence in all the other depart
ments. Mr. ALBEE, who has occupied the position
of Principa the past year. has infused good.educa-
tiona influence, given character to the schools, gen
orally.
The exercises in the High School at the close ola
term always attract considerable attention. these arc
more the occasions of entertanment than of scholas
tic examination. Friday afternoon passed OFF very
pleasantly; the declamations and compositions, al
though not above criticism, were nevertheless highly
creditable At the close of the school exercises brief
addresses were made by Rev. Mr.. Colburn, Rev. Mr..
Smithett, Rev. Mr.. Gridley, Rev. Mr. Knox, Supt.
Dresser and Col. Frank.
The Public Schools will be in vacation until the
first of September next; in the mean time trust,
the Board of Education will get every thing in readi
ness for a vigorous new opening of the new school
year. Our Schools justly the pride of city,
and no one should for moment countenance any
thing looking towards relaxation of effort in their
behalf A judicious expenditure of taxation, sutfi-
Gent to maintain high standard of education, and
the support Of well qualified teachers, is demanded
byan enlightened public sentiment. Liberal expend-
lures FOR educational purposes, is public economy
Taxes for school purposes should never be complain
cd of, provided they are properly expended. Good
schools cannot be supported without eXpense but it
is expense that pays large equivalents in the end.

Asked, with folded hands, the Almighty's grace.
Then within the banquet hall he sat,
At his meat, upon the embroidered mat.
There slave before him placed the food,
Spilling from the charger as he stood,
Awkwardly upou the Emirs breast
Drops that foully stained the silken vest.
To the floor, in great remorse and dread,
Fell the slave, and thus, beseeching, said:
" Master, they who hasten to refrain
Rising wrath, in paradise shall reign
Gently was the answer Hassan gave:
I'm not angry" Yet" pursued the slave
Yet doth higher recompense belong
To the injured who forgives wrong"
" I forgive" said Hassan. Yet we read,''
So the PROSTATE slave went on to plead,
"That higher seat in glory still
Waits the man who renders good for i'll.

In thy hand lay purse of gold.
