The Fate of a Fallen woman.

lfroin the Philadelphia Telegraph August 10
One of the saddest cases of suicide we
have ever been called upon to record was
committed on Monday last, by young
lady of this city, under circumstances of
the most distressing character. IL appears
there was picnic at Delta grove on the
banks of the Rantoc;ls creek a short dis
tance above DelhncO-a place that has
recently become the resort for rowdies,
blacklegs, and cOuftcsans. Among those
present was a Miss ", residing in the
northeastern section of the city, whose
attractive countenance genteel dress, and
generally prepossessing appearance, indi-
Gated that she was not only stranger To the
reckless scenes of conNiviality and dissipa-
tiOn which are constantly occurring at the
place, but that she had been the associate
of the educated and refined. And such had
been the case. Miss V, at "A late hour
In che afternoon. in company with another
lady and gentleman. accepted an invita-
tlon To take short boat trip on the Ran
cocas. After proceeding for some distance,
and indulging in many pleasant jokes. she
arose and said TO her companion that she
had lived long enough, and at once
plunged into the creek, never TO be seen
alive again. Her remains were found
floating. near Bridgeboro on the fol-
lowing day, and were taken to that village.
As she was unknown" the coroner took
charge of the body, and had IL inferred in
the poor ground adjoining the Methodist
church of that place. 4 day or two after
wards, however her father who IS a gentle
man of considerable wealth and influence,
had the body disinterred, and recognized it
as his 'lost' daughter, allowed il TO be
again inferred in the same spot in tile same
panper pinerboX that is scharitably furnished
at the public expense for such bodies as are
unclaimed. The history of the young girl
Is indeed sad one. She was a beautiful
girl. and well educated, naturally vivacious
and joyfu but she was enticed from her
home, and her future career is briefly told.
Abandoned by her parents, despised by her
other relatives Stunned by her former
friends and acqnaintances, deprived of her
cnce happy and comfortable home, and de-
MED the counsel and assistance necessary
10 cheer and attract her from the wrong
path Is IL any wonder she led a brief life
Of shame and found a harlot's grave?

Yankee Domination.

There are now two hundred aud thirty
two (232) members in the Rump Congress
10 In the Senate and lS3 In the House.
Out of that number sixty-nine (69) were
born In New England-eleven more than
oNE-FoURTH of the whole combined repre-
sentatiOn! FOrty-seven were born ia New
York, Which, added to those of New En-
land, make ll6, one-hdlf of the whole Fep-
resentation. OF the remaining llG, two
were born in Ireland, one each In Scotland,
Bavaria, and Canada, leaving but Ill ma
tive TO the eighteen Middle aud Western
States which they represent.
The population of the six New England
States Is two millions (2,l3i,6S3,) which is
about ORe-eieUeaM of the population of the
Northern States (22,l4s0i7,) and one SC~
teenth Of the population Of the whole Union
(3l, i46O40.) Although less In population
by l,T46,O52 than New York, those six
states are represented by twenty MOI, men.
Combined with New York, they have A
population of only 0,0O0OOO-one- iiflh of
tie whole population-and yet their people
comprise full one-half OF all those now Ia

Is it any wonder. under these clrcum-
