Results of Cincinnati ssioidaI Atnosuhsre

CINCINNATI, April l2.-Besides
several doubtful deaths within as
many days, we have the fifth suicide
to record in the same time. The last
was a German laborer, well to do and
free from the usual circumstances in
dicative of the act, NhO returned from
work yesterday afternoon and tried to
blow his brains out in the rear of the
premises owned and occupied by him.
He had purchased two pounds ofpow-
der, placed some in q cigar box, laid
his head thereupon and touched off a
match. 1t is observable that all the
suicides which are referred to were
men whose accustomed diet was prob
ably of an indigestive nature. Only
one case has occurred in which actual
domestic infelicity was the cause, and
none with any fresh cause Of sorrow.
Henry Stein, a peaeeable citizen,
was called to the door last night, and
upon making his appearance he was
struck on the head with a heavy
boulder and sustained a severe frac-
ture of the skull. No cause is assigned
for the deed.

nesnArate Suicide.

NASHVILLE, April 13.-John Gil
mer, late of the Nashville police, but

last evening by shooting great hole
in his right side at the waist with
shot gun loaded with buckshot. When
he had committed the rash act he
cried out to his wife, "Fanny, am
dead" and soon after expired in her
arms. He placed the gun to his side
and discharged it with one of his feet.

Under the French Empire the Zouaves
were the idols of the army and the peo-
ple but the Breton Mobiles have taken
their place in the popular esteem under
the Republic, and are now regarded as
the "erack" corps. They are at present
stationed in large numbers outside the
walls of Paris, and it is said that they
entertain the most profound contempt
for the 100000 National Guards within
the capital, who are exposed to no actual
danger, but live in comparative comfort,
instead Of 'roughing it" under Prussian
FIRE every day. These Mobiles are brave,
religious peasants from Brittany, who
6rht for France, but at heart dislike the
present Paris Government. An English
correspondent, who writes by balloon
most from the beleaguered city, relates
an amusing incident which occurred
while he was on . visit TO their camp.
while | was talking 10 these Breions'
he saws. one Of them blew bis nose
with his handkerchief. His companions
apologized to me for this piece Of afiec
tation. He is from Finisterre, they
said. In Finisterre, it appears, luxury
is enervating the population, and they
blow their noses with handkerchiefs; in
other parts Of Brittany, where the hardy
habits of a former age still prevail, 9
more simple method is adopted. "
