A man named Price, from Greene coun-

brier White Sulphur Springs. on Friday
morning last, by cutting his throat with u
razor on the lawn. An account in the Alex,
andria Gazette says:
"Thero were number Of persons IN full
Wow, but tho attention Of Gov. Wise was
first attracted to what tho man was really
attempting. Gen. II. j.. Walker and 9th
ers ran to him and snatched the razor from
his hand. His throat was very seriously
lacerated, but it is not thought that death
will result The unhappy man had brought
here for exhibition stOno with the print

in Madison county. But rs few persons
had sufficient curiosity to SEQ it to pay for
the privilege, the adventure was unprofita-
bic. Tho disappointment, with perhaps
unknown causes besides, lei to the dosper-

Frederick Douglass, in q recent public
address, referred to his son Louis and his
attempts to get employment at Rochester
in the following terms :
There is no Disgusting the fact-his
crime was his color. 1t WAS his color in
Denver, it was his color in Rochester, and
it is his color III Washington to day. In
connection with this bject, | have now
word to say of the gOodly city in which
I have lived for the last twenty years, and
where still reside, city than which not
one in tho country is more civilized, refined
and cultivated. It abounds in both educa-
tional and religious institutions, and its
people are generally as liberal and friend
ly to the colored race as any other in this
State, and far moro so than most cities
outside of the State. Here the common
schools have been open to all classe5 alike
for dozen years, and colOred and white
children havc sat on the samo benches, and
played in the same schoolgirls, and at the
same sports and games, and they have
done SO in peace. l can say many good
things of Rochester. Tho Fugitive Slave

Ored man was always safe and we'll protect

against it. One of the saddest spectaclcs
that ever assailed my eyes or panied my heart
was presented in that city, and you will
pardon me for making mention of it,
though it is clearly personal. The same
young man who is now at work at the
Government Printing Office in Washing

much feeling has been shown, was the sub

had stood on the walls of Fort Wagner

man on the perilous edge of battle, and
now that the war was nearly over, he had
returned to Rochester. somewhat broken

work at his trade. ..g....tt ....t -.
But, alas he begged in vain Of his fell

the iron of negro hate before, but the case
OF this young man gave it deeper entrance
into my soul then ever before. For sixteen
years had printed public journal in

and white apprentices during all this time;
had paid out, in various ways, to white
men in that city little less than 800, 900,
and yet hero was my son, who had learned
his trade in my office, young man OF
good character and yet unable to lind
work at his trade because of his color and

Death Of q Modern sampson

Captain John W. Russell died in Frank
lin county, Ky, last week, aged IS years.
The louisville Courier-Jo Journal says
S He was famous among western piOn-
GERS for his strength and intrepidity. He
served in the war of 1912, was member
of the State Senate, and an intimate per-
sonal and partisan friend of Henry Clay
He was for many years a Mississip ppi steam
boat captain. The Incidents of his force
of will and power of command would fill II
volume. On one occasion, III New Or
leans, he Ind personal encounter with the
pirate Latitte, and unarmed, whipped him
and elected him from Il ball room On
another, while landed at Matches, IL pas
senger or his boat was robbed by tue gnng
which then Infested tho portion of the
town bordering on the river, and known
as Natclez under tthe Hill" by sur.
rounding with his crew the house IN which
the robbers took refuge. he passed IL cable
around it and under threat of pnlling 1t,
with its inmates, ia the river, he compelled
restitution OF the money, aud made LINN
self terror to the thieves and gamblers
who then Infested the river towns. Of
his great strength, persons who knew him
only ia his latter years, when enfeebled by
age, would have but little conception,
though when in his prime it WAS known
from PittSburg 60 New Orleans he had
lifted a shaft Weighing 1,6l7 pounds, and
that he had carried entirely across the
deck of the boat an anchor of /, ,242 pounds
weight"

snppo.ed Loss of Four. hundred I.ives.

Notice has boon posted at LIoyd,s in re-
ference to tho missing steamers United
Kingdom and CLcduba, calling upon the
underwriters TO settle their liabilities of
insurance, no doubt being now entertained
that they must both have fonndered with
all on board. The United Kingdom was
one of the line of packets trading between
New York and Glasgow. She left the
former port on April 10Th, and was never
seen, afterwards The Cheduba belonged
to the British Bombay Steam Navigation
company. She left Bombay for Rangoon
on tho 14th of May, and is supposed to
have encountered heavy cyclone two days
afterwards, and must have been engulphed
in it; for nothing was heard or seen of
her. The notice also contained two other
missing ships. The number of people lost
in the four ships is nearly 400.

Extraordinary Passage OF the KRCht
SapphU

Mr.. Douglass yacht Sappho has made
the passage across the Atlantic from New
York to Ireland in twelve days nino hours
and thirty-six minutes This is an extra
ordinary fine run, and shows whit tho
Sappho can do when properly handled. -.
Tho English yachtmcn will not be so eager
for race with the Sappho, we presume,
as they appeared to be before. The rapid
voyages OF our American yachts ono after
the other across tho Atlantic show that
with fine models, skill in navigation and
good SearGanship, sailing vessels can run
nearly within steamship time, and that tho
time of passage can be almost calculated

The Late Eclipse.

''Fow people trouble themselves to
