An Appalling Suicide.

An English paper says suicide of very
appalling character was recently com
mitted by soldier at the Charlton Station
of the North Kent Railway, a deserter from
the artillery. About ten o'clock, as train
was approaching the station on its way to
London, asoldier stepped rapidly off the
platform, and standing in the four-foot,
faced. the engine. The terrified people on
the platform screamed and shouted, and the
engine driver blew the whistle, but not
withstanding, the man determinedly stood
to be crushed to death, and within a few
seconds he was knocked down, and
lay upon the line bleeding
corpse, his arms and legs dis
membered and his head smashed in. As
quickly as possible the mutilated remains
were gathered up, and being concealed
from observation, were'conveyed to pub
lie house. Information was forwarded to
the barracks at Woolwich, when upon in
spection of the body it was identified as
that of Thomas Sheppard, private in the
11th Brigade Artillery, who had deserted
from his regiment about month since, and
up to yesterday had not been seen or heard
Of. II was stated that he had obtained
leave to attend marriage at Gravesend,
and the supposition was that having, ex-
ceeded the time allowed he was afraid to
return. The man had been in the regi-
ment nearly ten years, being within ten
days OF his legitimate discharge.

Suicide hK a Little Girl.

In Lagrange, Maine, May 28, little girl
named Eva, Ellington committed suicide
by drowning. She appeared to be in usu-
al health and spirits, and left her home
about five o'clock, saying that she had an
errand at neighbor's; she called there, but
not finding them at home, she went to the
postofice, and wrote letter and mailed it
to friend in Bangor, when she went to the
mill pond, about two miles from her home,
called little girl and asked her to go up
the stream with her. She went, and Eva
took off her hat and cloak, gave them to
the little girl, requested her to give them
to her mother, bade the girl good-by,
plunged in, and before assistance could be
rendered life was extinct. It was found af-
terwards that she had left letter at home
for friend: and the one she mailed to
Bangor was taken from the Office, and in
both letters she declared her determination
to put an end to her life, but maintained
that she was perfectly sane. The cause
was probably partial insanity. Her age weS
thirteen years and six months. na

Extraordinary Eclipse.

The total eclipse of the sun which is to
take place on the 18th Of August next, win
present such long duration of darkness
that astronomers are anticipating it with
unusual interest. From near Aden,. the
central line of the eclipse extends to the
southern coast of New Guinea, crossing
Hindoostan, the Bay of Bengal, the Ma
layan peninsula, and the Gulf of Siam on
the way; and at certainplaces on this line
the duration of total darkness will be at
6:46. At the date in question the moon will
not be more than six hours from its peri
gee, while the sun will not be far from its
apogee--a twofold condition, which in
creases the apparent diameter Of the moon,
and shows the apparent diameter Of the sun
nearly at the smallest. Hence the pro-
longed darkness Such a. chance occurs
but rarely, and we cannot wonder that b
strong desire exists to make the most Of 1t
in endeayors to solve certain highly inn
portant questions in physical science. Un.
luckily, the southwest monsoon will be OF
its full blast on the 10th ofAugust, which,
with Its heavy clouds, viii render observa-
tion either uncertain or impossible, except
on the eastern side Of tho mountain ranges,

N THE 5t(i GREIT 4, iI-l PEDESTRIAN FEAT. All
GCglding Comes Out the Winner.

INC NOW 1Ofk GApfebB, June U.
The Express readers may remember that
on this day six weeks ago. we announced
that two pedestrians, James Miles, young
Miles," champion of California and Aus
tralia, and Jack Goulding, exschampion
hurdle jumper of England, had commenced
to walk 1000 miles in 1000 hours, Zone
mi lie in each hour) for SUM Of so, 900,
which should become the property of the
one who should accomplish the feat, if one
only accomplished itr-and if both accom-
plish it then the walk to be continued till
either should 'cave in" the longest "goer"
to receive the stakes. Both plodded away OF
their tasks until, two weeks ago, Miles
fell on the track and sprained his ankle,
and on the same evening shot his trainer,
John Ross, in the neck, in an effort to wake
him up With all this the reading public
are acquainted. After the first flrore of
the Miles-Ross tragedy had passed over,
the public forgot the entire transaction,
Goulding, however, contrary to all expec-
tations, persisted in the effort, and at twen-
ty minutes past four this morning COM
pleted the performance of a task that was
never but once before accomplished. If
OuO WdlAAhb "oo AOhV On ,tuo
square" (and no one has openly
charged that it has not), it is the most ex-
treordinary feat ever achieved by hnman
perseverance,, pluck and muscle. The
ground was exceedingly unfayorable; on
saw-dusb, over a tagged floor, round four
billiard tables, After each mile the upfor-
tunate walker had to ascend fight Of
stairs, SO that ,iiistead of walking i 600
miles, hemust have walked a 200 miles.
Our reporter visited Goulding to-day, and
found him quite overcome by fatigue His
physician has forbidden him to sleep only
few hours at time until the effects ofthe
long tramp shall have been worn of, but
this it was found impossible to comply
with When fairly asleepFto-ddy, itbe-
came next to impossible to awake him.
His legs, and more particularly his feet, are
in very bad state He is also afflicted
with very severe pains in the loins, through
the spine, and dizziness of the head, Con-
stitutionally very light man, he has been
reduced 81 pounds in his six weeks walk.
1t is said that he intends to challenge Wes-
ton to a very long journey, and will be
largely backed against that famous pet.
