Singular Attempt Mt suicide.

An account of singular attempt at
suicide, by woman, is given in the St.
Louis Times, as follows:
On Thursday morning, between eight
and nine o'clock, Major Won Minden,
who resides in the Fourth Ward went
out to his well to draw bucket of Wa
ter. The well is full sixty feet deep,
aud the water is drawn up by an ordina-
ry wiudless and bucket
When the bucket began to rise from
the water, Major V. found it incredibly
heavy-tcn times as heavy as usual He
was surprised at this, but determined to
see what was the cause, tugged away at
the MINDLESS. Being blessed with stout
muscle, he slowly wound up the rope.
AS the bucket reached the top, Major
Won Minden was surprised to see the
hand of a human being clinging to the
rope. He almost let go his hold in his
surprisc-but was enabled to Continue
the hauling process. Soon another hand
appeared, then the head of woman with
her long dishevcled hair dripping with
water, and her garments saturated with
cold fluid.
Here was genuine sensation, but
Major Won Minden did not stop to won
der over it. He only reached over the
well-box, and grasping the half:drown-
ing woman, drew her safely out On tcrru
.f'7na. She was found half dead and
too benumbcd to speak, but after being
thawcd out by the stove managed to ex-
plain the singular occurrence.
She was found to be Bohcmien wo.
man, about thirty years Of age, who re.

married few months ago, but some OF
her ncighbors having slandcred her good
name, 1t annoyed her SO that she resolved
to commit suicide. She says she jump.

bottle of wine.
IF its Jack, he has lain there for
more than twenty-feur hours, and must
be weak and exhausted. Take this down
with you, Silas," said she to the younger
man who had volunteered in old Browns
place
Cali ready slowly" said Silas as
they swung him down.
They watched him descend, carefully
guarding his lantern from the rocks. In
a moment he had disappeared. Steadi-
ly the rope slipped through the mems
hands; the coil upon the ground until
it was spent. The signal for wish to
return-three jerks Of rope-was not
given.
Conc, two, FIVE, ten, fifteen minutes
passed. The men almost avoided each
others questioning eyes.
"I'm afraid the foul air has killed
him. Hadn't we better begin to draw
up ?" asked Brown.
After few minutes more, this was
agreed upon. The rope came up slowly.
Whether Silas was dead or alive, caution
was needful; the sides of the wall were
rough.
Three quick jerks suddenly relieved
their minds of the burdensome fear.--
They made little more haste then, and
finally drew Silas Jones up alive.
"Well," he said stepping upon solid
ground, "Jack Lane is down there, but
his hose has fallen on him, and he can
just breath, and that's all. guess he's
wound up that little music box for a
signal for the last time. 1 tried to give
him some vine, but he can't drink
Some one must GO down with me, and il
that horse cau't be drawn up, he mus,
be cut away piecemeal, that's all. Jack
won't stand it more than half an hour
longer"
Instantly there were dozen ready to
go down. Three only went, taking
hatchets to cut away the horse, if neces.
sary. His heavy flank was stretched
across Jacks hrenst. Silas said aud thor-
was no room in which to displace him.
The Watchers at the wells mouth
were sick at heart long before the length
OF the rope came up again.
Then Margie shrieLcd and covered
her face. Ghastly, haggard, stained
with the clotted blood of the dead horse

They carried him home upon stretchcr
Taking a short cut across the fields the
night before, his horse had tunbled head
long into the well, which Jack had en-
tirely forgotten. There, for twenty -four
hours he lay, unable to call aloud, pa
tiently winding up tho little music box
with one hand, and listening to the mer

Cuba.

II is reported Mt the capital to-day that son
and daughter of Mr. Casanova, now i'm prison in
Cuba, appeared before the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, and asked the committee to
recommend such action on the part of Congress
as will more effectuay protect the rights of
American citizens on that island The commit
tee appeared indisposed to do anything in the
matter, whereupon the parties repaired to the
White House to have an interview with the Pres
ident The result thereof has not transpired ut
this writing. 1t is also reported that the EXecu-
tive has ordered two monitors to be made
ready for sea, and the presumption is that
they are destined for the Cuban coast
Another rumor is, that the order recently
made, assigning the 10Th Infantry to California,
has been countermanded. All this, if true, looks
belligerent, and the general opinion outside
official circles Is, that Grant is only waiting q
favorable opportunity to send such force to
Cuba as will give such moral support to the in
surrectionlsts as to secure their success. An
evening paper says:-"The Government has re-
ceived information from New Orleans that an
expedition is acout to sail for Cuba to join the
insuTectionary army. The expedition is under
stood to have been organized by General Stead
man, who, it will be remembered visited Cuba
about month since, and, it is supposed, made
all the necessary arrangements for the landing of
American recruits. The Navy Department has
sent special instructions to Admiral Hoff to in
tercept them. Ages Washington correspond
