SIGNS OF THE TIMEs.-The New York
Journal of Commerce has Il precautionary
article ON the signs OF the times with
reference to the financial and business tu-
ture The laugh, it says, which once
greeted every allusion TO possible trouble

nues of trade The financial noviccs who
ridculed the lessons OF experience, and
taught that the heavier national debt the
greater blessing, are less glib in their
iibes to the veterans of the exchange, and
advocate their Crude themes with less as:
surance than when the imitation was in
progress on the other side OF the summit.
The manufacturing districts have felt a
sudden jar in their machinery, and are
surprised that there should be any check

A SUGGESTION FOR THE LADlEs.-If any
of our pretty ladies should ever be called
before the courts as witnesses, we sug-
gest to them the following happy escape
from telling their age;
A ccrtuin French actress never would
tell her age, and OF course the more she
refused to tell 1t the more curious people
were To know it, By good uck-as the
multitude thought-she was summoned as
1t witness on trial. The gossips ubbed
their hands and ehuckled. Aha 4! we
shall know it now. She must tell or go
to prison TOR contempt Of court. The
court was crowded with opcn-eared iis-
teners. In French courts of justice tne
witness does not stand in a ooN 10 give

He nodded, made the entry in his private

his interrogatories as soon as she had re-
sumed her place OH the stool. The public
retired with mngl led feelings OF disgust
and admiration. The trial had lost all

The Wirz Tragedy.

The astounding revelation made by
Butler concerning the suppressed diary of
Booth and the consequent official murder
of an innocent woman is followed by
another little less astounding or disgrace
ful to the parties embraced in it, concern
ing the lawlcss trial and execution Of the
unfortunate Wirz. The disclosure is made
in letter from Washington to the New
York World, bearing date March 27th.-
It's as followss
1t is, perhaps, not generally known that
during the incarceration of Wrz and
Major Windcr in the Capitol Prison they
occupied adjoining cells and enjoyed ia
cilities of communication, one to the other,
by word or writing, through an aperture
not observed, doubtless, By the jailor. No
one was. permitted to see either, unless
by special privilege from the Secretary of
| War. On the nj ght previous To the exc
of course BY permission OF Stanton, and
proposed to him, that if he would agree
to implicate JEFF. Davis in the alledged
conspiracy TO starve the Northern pris-
oners confined at Andersonville his life
would be saved. Wirz replied that he
would not save his own life by sacrificing
that of another innocent man, The par
ties thereupon left the cell, and Wirz i'm
Ismediately communicated all that trans
pired to Major Windcr The Major some
time after met Mrs. Davis in New York,
and revealed to her what is here stated,
backing it up by an affidavit, which he
gave her, ard which she now holds. The
trial of Davis would involve revelations
which would shock humanity, and test to
its fullest whatever sense of justice or
feeling of national pride is still left at the
North. 1t is,not unreasonable to presume
that popular Indignation would he aroused
to a pitch that would render it unsafe for
the concoctors of the vile plans devised to
secure the sacrifice of Davis life, to pro-
long their residence among apeople whose
fame and character they SO grossly out
ragged.
Should not thc names of the trio who
made this infamous proposition to Wirz
be traced out by some means? IF tho
World would initiate some movement to
that end, it is probable that some light
might be obtained which would fix the
identity of these villains. The time is
eminently auspicious for such an enquiry,
now that the rogues are divuIying each
others inquities. 1t may be that Major
Windor has some information which
would give clue to the names of the
parties. IF he has, he should be induced
10 furnish it, and then the wretches
should be held up to the universal scorn
and contempt they 80 richly merit.

suicIde at Americus.

On Monday night last Mr. Kirby, formerly
Railroad ticket agent at Topeka. shot himself
through the heart with small revolver, at the
hotel of Elisha Goddard, in Americas, in this
county. He arrived at the hotel on horseback
towards evening, stating that he had come
from Council Grove, and was "going down on
the Walnut" When about to ret ire, early in
the evening, he asked Mr.. Goddard for some
paper, saying that he wanted to write a couple
of letters. About ten or half past ten o'clock
gentleman who boards at the hotel went up
to his room, in going to which he had to pass
through the large room occupied by Kirby.
This gentleman says he sat by a window
calmly smoking a cigar, his candle having
gone out. The two engaged in conversatio n

was quite talkadve, speaking of the crops.

house were sound asleep. About midaight
Mr.. Goddard was awakened by his groans h

sleeping in the adjoining room came ia and
said he guessed Kirby had shot himself as he
heard the report Of pistol; on striking light
they found him lying upon lounge dead lad
the pistol by his side. He died almost in

and must have gone into the heart. Two let
tiers were found on the table. one directed to
his friends and tie other to Mr. Goddard. He
had with him about S 200 wrapped up in a
