Singular Suicide.

FROM the Buffalo Courier, May al
Yesterday afternoon an old lady Of To-
years, named NLephy Woleben, residing
with her son of No. 3S Mohawk street,
committed suicide under the following cir
cumstances: For q long time past she hao
been ailing, and 6hough not compelled 10
keep her bed has been confined to her
room. 1t has been the habit of one or
another of the menibers of the family to
carry her meals to her room in aH upper
story of the house, and generally on reach
ing the top OF the stairs to speak, fupon
which she would open the door of her room
for their admission. Yesterday she received
her breakfast and dinner as usual; but in the
afternoon, about half-past five, her grand
son, a Young man about twenty years
of age, on taking UP her tea and speaking
at the top of the stairs, received no answer.
tie approached the door of the old ladys
room, and, both hands being occupied with
his grandmother's supper, knocked at the
door with his knee; still receiving no reply
he set the tea things down and opened the
door. He then saw his grandmother stand
| ing near the window, her back to the door,
her hands hanging down by her side, and
she apparently looking out of the window
down into the yard. Upon speaking to
her and still receiving no reply, the young
man made q closer inspection, and was
| Mortified ut finding that she had around
her throat two twisted skeins of thread,
which were attached to the curtain fixtures
above. He immediately gave the alarm,
cut down the body, and ran fora physician,
but too late, for life was pronounced ex-

A H30D, 900 Diamond.
From the Rock Island Arous. Nav 81

From the Rock Island Argus, May "a.
few Gays ago gentleman came mp the
river on the steamer New Boston, who
privately exhibited to the officers of that
packet diamond in the rough, which, in
It's unpublished state, is supposed to be
worth somewhere in the vicinity of $780,
600. 1t is further supposed to be the sec
ond or third diamond in size in the world.
1t is abont the size of walnut, is perfectly
transparent, and has the power of magni-
flying to the same extent as first quality
glass. The lucky possessor found it at
his home in the gold mining dis
triets of Nova Scotia, and also stated
that he had found one OF two small ones,
one of which he sold for $4,000 in it's
rough state. To convince the officers of
the boat he produced files of Nova Scotia
papers containing accounts of the finding
of the diamond, minute descriptions off
same, descriptions of the finder, and othor
evidence too indisputable to be questioned.
He also showed letters from prominent New
York jewelers., who had examined the
prize, one of which was from the house of
Ball, Black & Co. He is going to Iowa to
see about landed investments, with view
of some day locating there. He proposes
to have the diamond polished, and sell it
to some crowned head if possible. For
the benefit of the ladies we will state that
we don't know whether he is married or
not

A Millionaire Cats his Throat.

A melancholy case OF attempted suicide,
which ii is feared will result fatally, occur
red in the Office, No. 70 William street, yes
tertlay afternoon. The victim of the at
tempt to destroy himself is Mr.. Barrett
H. Yanauken, retired merchant, Presl-
dent of the Durango Silver Mining Com
pany. He has small office on the first
floor of No. 73 William street, and resides
at No. 42l Fifth avenue. He is a son-in-
law of Mr.. c. X. Garrison, the wealthy
shipowner, and is reputed to be worth over
a million dollars.
Mr.. Vanaukcn left his home yesterday
morning at his usual hour, and appeared In
the best of health and spirits. He pro-
ceeded to his Office, and was occupied all
The morning in transacting the business oi
the mining company OF which he is Presi-
dent. The main floor of the premises, No.
73 William street, is occupied by the East
Tennessee Zinc Company, Mr.. Vanauken
occupying a small s;de-room adjoining the
main Office, and separated only by ground
glass partition. At about / O'Clock yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Vanaullen was at the door
of the Office in conversation with some OF
the gentlemen connected with the zinc COM
pany. He then entered his office and sent
his oflice-boy out on an Grand; then delib-
sitting down ON the sofa he drew razor
across his throat, inflicting fearful wound,
from which the blood flowed proflsely.-
In moment afterwards gentleman en-
tered the office and found Mr.. Vanauken
lying on the sofa, apparently III n dying
condition. DIR. Foster was summoned and
attended the wounded man. Assisted by
DIR. Shine, the flow of blood was staunch-
ed, and the wound was soon after sewed
up. The injury is, however, of n danger
Gus nature, and it is feared that he cannot
recover. The cause of the suicide cannot
be ascertained. Mr.. Vanauken was in
good circumstances, and his domestic rela-
tons were of the happiest kind. There
were n number of letters left on the desk,
sonic of them addressed TO his executors,
but their contents were not divulged, as
they were taken possession of by the
friends of Mr.. Yannuken. Y. World,

The New Hope for the Country How
Much the Democrats Have to Gain
How Shall ut be Gained

The Democratic newspapers of all classes
are urging that the stringency ofgour party
rule should be relaxed; that strict member
ship in the party during the past should
not be made n test of orthodoxy in the fH-
ture; that we should be an open communion
party. There is much good sense in these
propositions. We need reinforcemcnts.
We are in want of the support and votes of
many people who have not acted with MS ut
all heretofore, or whose support we have
lost during the past few years on the slavery
and war questions. With our present num-
bers We can almost win n national victory
at the polls. But we cannot quito doit. A
change of rs, 900 or 80 900 votes III n few
states that could have been named woHld
have elected Mcclellan to the Presidency in
1864; and change of n few more thousands
than that say, forty or fifty thousand prop
erly distributed, would have elected Sey-
mour in 1863. But we cannot get even
these few thousands as compared with
the six million votes cast by the American
people unless we get adherents from those
who do not vote, and from those who have
voted with the Republican party.
In 1868 the total popular vote for Presi
dent was Us follows:
Total vote ............... ........... o. 722 9S4
Grants vote. ...r......".....-.-.. .30l6,353
Seymour's vote. 722, 1884
Grants per cent. of total vote ...........5 80 Go
Seymour's per cent. of total vote At 80
Grant received but little moro than five
per cent. majority on the vote of all the
people who were permitted to vote on the
subject of his election. Even with disfran-
chisement, and fraud, and all the evil infiu-
ences brought to bear, by which his cleo.
ton was secured, he had but this small
margin of the total vote cast.
But to get that away from the radical
party, the Democracy must adopt new POI
icy. We must not ask them how they voted
last year, or five years ago; nor make for
mer party relations q test of fil-
ture party relations. We can afford
to bury the past for the sake of the
future. We can afford to forget past
evil speaking the past fruits of bitterness
and partisan hospitality. For we have the
government to reform. The corruptionists
and rascals must be driven from power. We
must redeem misspent years, and make
amends for oil that we have not done, to
rescue the nation from the hands of the
spoilsmen.
Because we must do this, we must be
lenient. There are questions upon which
all patriots can agree. The debt must be
so managed as to reduce it's burdens. The
tax must be more fairly adjusted The
currency must be reformed. Our foreign
affairs are in n bad way, and growing
worse; and will lead us into expensive and
disasterous wars unless they are placed in
better shape To do all this we must have
the help of thousands who have here
tofore voted the radical ticket Shall we
repel them by saying we will not fraternize
with them, do not want them in our con-
ventions, will not elect them to office, will
continue to adhere to old party habits and
discipline? No!

who was announced to speak at o'clock.
As early az o'clock the doors began to be
besieged, and at 6 the theatre was enveloped
hy a dense mass of people; it was a long
time before NJ Emile Olivier and, his
friends could penetrate the crowd, and 1t
was past 10 when the candidate first attempt
ed to speak. happy allusion to the fable
of Jupiter and the peasant enabled Nj. Oh
liver to obtain hearing. He related the
services he had rendered the State, and eX-
pressed himself in favor of those liberties
desired by the country. He ably defended
his conduct in respecting the oath which
he had taken to the empire. and said cour-
aeeously what he thcdght of the man Ca
pable of taking the cath Win the intention
of violating it. HIS ideas on political NOR
atty were very little rolished by the ultra
democrats, who manifested their feelings
by creating On uproar and interruptlng the
orator. When Mr.. Olivier at last alluded
to the empire as founded on universal sui
fraoe, the storm became SO violent that the
Commissioner of Police declared the pro-
eeedinas closed. Whilst NJ Olivier was
addressing q favored few outside the thea
tire, the crowd had gradually increased,
and by IL O'Clock it is estimated that
from $4,000 to 10000 persons were
gathered around the building. Most OF
them were under the impression that the
doors had never been opened. For long
time order was maintained, and If now and
then gentleman mounted on the shout
ders of friend, and harangued the multi
tude, the people chaffed till the platform
gave way, and the orator was swamped;
but an hour later the ''Marseilaise" and
other popular songs, disagreeable to the
authorities, were sung, and strong rein
forcement of police having arrived, some
fighting took place. and serious damage
was done Four killed and number OF
wounded are spoken of to day, but where
street-fighting takes place in Paris, 1t Is
next to impossible to learn casualties.
When the crowd did dispense it was IN
