Fearful Case of Suicide.

We are called upon this morning
to chronicle one of the most shock
ing cases ofself- obstruction that has
ever come to our knowledge. For
several days Warren Kennedy, the
well known bookseller and periodi-
cal dealer on Vine street, next the
Gazette office, had been drinking.
and had indeed suffered from an
attack of delirium tremens. Sew
eral times he had been heard during
this period to threaten his life.
7 esterday his brother was with
him; both dined at the Buckeye,
and returned to Mr.. Kennedy's s
room in the fourth story of the
building Immediately north of the
Gazette Office. During the after
noon he was comparatively quiet
until 4 O'Clock, when suddenly he
was seized with a fit, and, rushing
to the window, madly dashed him
self down the dizzy hight upon the
pavement below. The brother en-
deavored to prevent the terrible
act, catching the crazed man by the
foot, but it was of no avail
Mr.. Kennedy struck heavily upon
the left side of his head, producing
injuries that were fatal. He was
carried into his own establishment
in an unconscious state, and died
within an hour.-Cin. Gazette. IA.

HUMBOLDT.

AS last Tuesday was generally
observed as the centennial birth
day of the above illustrious Prus-
sian. The following sketch of him
from Blake's Biographical Diction-
AIRY on our table, will be found
interesting
HUMBOLDT, FREDERIC HENRY
ALEXANDER Won, a celebrated tray-
eller, born at Berlin, September IA,
1869, was the second son of Baron
Alexander George Won Humboldt,
of Prussia and his mother was the
Baroness Won Holweda. His elder
brother was William Won Humboldt,
who was distinguished as a states
man. Few men have acquired the
reputation as travellers which was
attained by the subject of this arti-
Gle. His published accounts contain
so much of philosophy that they
have never become obsolete, Ills
first ones being still referred to and
read with interest. His active
labors as traveller commenced
near the close of the eighteenth
century his primitive design being
to visit and explore the northern
portions of Africa; but he yielded
co circumstances, and if obstacles
arose in one direction he would
take another, always choosing those
routes where great boldness of mind
was prerequisite, and where the
materials would afford the greatest
scope to profound scientific investi-
CATION. In 1899 he was upon the
island Teneriffe investigating its
sublime mysteries. Before the close.
of that year he was upon American
ground; first in the southern pers.
ton of the continent, and afterwards
in the northern portion. He visited
Cumana, Panama, Lima. Mexico,
Havana, Vera Cruz: and 1lumefods
other places, upon; islands as well
as upon the continent, ascending. The.
highest mountains, as well as explo-
ring the mineral depths which ,cu.,
pldity had laid open in all instances.
making scientific Investigations in
botany, zoology, geology and eth
biography Subsequently he trod
the sod of Italy, England, Russia,
Siberia, and numerous intermediate
as well as more remote localities.
The result of so much physical toll
and judicious inquiry has made vast,
additions to the libraries of physical,
science. His published travels have

The talk of the Democratic Union
about Mr.. S. Watson being bond
holder is all kept up for the
purpose of prejudicing the public
against him. Suppose he is bond
holder, what has that to do with
the discharge of the duties of Com
missioner We know what the
real objection of the linton to Mr.. W.
is. He knows that if Mr.. Watson
is elected, the editor of the Union
or any other editor, living or dead,
would not be allowed to draw two
thousand dollars a year from the
county treasury for public printing.
for which one thousand dollars
would be handsome compensation.
The simple question for the peo.
pie to decide is whether Mr.. Watson
possesses superior qualifications for
the discharge Of the duties of the
office. We contend that he does

gent man, who is familiar with the
two candidates but will emphati-
cally agree with US.

been voluminous and profound the
most popular Of his publications
being Cosmos, written in the evening
of his life, in which he conteihplates
all created things as linked together
and forming one whole, animated by
internal forces. We cannot read
his productions without feeling some
glow of the ardor by which he was
ever animated. We see him. in i'm
agination, standing on the highest
points of the Cordilleras, or the
Altai, and looking down into the
realms of nature, gazing down into
the depths of the ocean, or looking
up to the expanse of heaven, like an
inspired prophet. His activity
makes him appear like sun of sci
ence, which sheds its rays over the
whole earth, and everywhere excitcs,
fertilizes, and inspires science. His
death occurred few years ago.

In the Face of Death.

From the New York World.
How do men feel when about to
die--not after being weakened by
disease or when the blood is heated
by the strife of battle, but when
they see inevitable death slowly but
certainly approaching them and
know that in exactly so many min
utes it will seize upon them and ex-
tinguish the lusty life that animates
their frame? Do they rage and
struggle against their fate, or do
they meet it with calmness, resigna-
ton and dignity? In the recent
terrible colliery explosion in Saxony,
all the miners were not killed as was
at first supposed; and number of
them were unharmed by the explo-
sion and were killed, after an inter-
val of some time, by suffocation.
Some of those poor fellows occupied
the last moments of their lives in
writing messages in their note books
to their wives and children, and
these were found when their bodies
were discovered. There is curl
Gus pathos in some of these messa-
ges from the grave, but the calm
ness and resignation which they
manifest is the most notable feature
These men, in the very presence of
death, had thoughts for every one
but themselves. "Dear wife," writes
one of them, stake good care of
Mary in a book in the bedroom
you will find thaler. Farewell,
dear mother and sisters, till we meet
again" One by the name of
Schmidt had pinned paper to his
blouse, on which he had written the
following words: "My dear rela-
tions, while seeing death before me
| remember you. Farewell till we
meet again in happiness A miner
named Bahr wrote thus in his note
book: ''This is the last place
where we have taken refuge. j
have given up all hope, because the
ventilation has been destroyed in
three separate places. May God
take myself and my relatives and
dear friends who must die with me,
as well as our families, under our
protection. Another had written
''Janetz has died; Ritcher left his
family to God. Farewell, dear
wife; farewell, dear children; may
God keep you" Only one uttered
complaint, and it was violent
one: Farewell, dear wife and
children; I did not think it would
end so. Oberman." One reads
these simple messages with mois-
tened eyes, and pictures to himself
the scene of these rough handed
but soft hearted men spending their
last moments, not in wild cries for
mercy and screams of remorse, nor
in repinings against their cruel fate,
but in sending these farewell words
to their loved ones who were even
bewailing them as dead.
