New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-09-03

A colored clergyman in Maryland, who
seems to have been gradually losing con-
troll over his flock, has struck upon very
ingenious method of Furnishing backslideTs
and regaining his influence. A few days
since an old woman died in Sumter county,
in that State, who had at one time been a
member of his congregation, but had fallen
SO far from grace as to have ceased to at
tend the regular service of the church. The
pastor attended her funeral, and as fear
full warning. to her surviving friends, or
dered the remains to be inferred with the
head downward. He then preached a SER
mon over the closed graved, and terrified
his hearers by declaring that the spirit of
the deceased had already gone to the infer
nal regions, and that theirs would follow,
on their heads also, if they did not imme-
diately reform their lives. The device
really has the merit of originality, and pro-
misses to work as well as did that of the
Chinese priest in Nevada, who saw bis
charge casting longing eyes on hog pen,
and prevented them from despoiling it by
representing that one OF the animals was
possessed of devil.

Attempted Suicide in n Sleeping Car,

We noticed few days since the suicide,
or attempted suicide, of passenger in a
sleeping car on the Mississippi Central rail
road last Monday evening, when somewhere
this side of Humboldt. The Memphis
AcaIaache of the thirty first ultimo contains
the following report of the affair:
Monday night last, as the southwark
bound train on the Mississippi Central rail
road was leaving the upper depot at Jack
son, passenger named Pierre Ladieux
got up from his seat beside his wife, who
was sleeping at the time, and entered the
saloon at the end of the car. Before leav-
ing his wife he took heavy shawl and ar
ranged it carefully about her SO as to ex-
clude the night air.
Alter being in the saloon a few minutes
the door was thrown violently open and
Ladieux, in scant raiment and covered with
blood, made his appearance. He seemed
wild, and as he brandished a razor crimson
with his life blood, he uttered a series of
incoherent yells. CHASTITY, gaping wound
extending across the neck, two cuts on the
arm, and as many slashes across the abdo-
men were the visible results of his attempt
at self-destruction. Several gentlemen who
were passengers on the train succeeded in
dlsarming him after short struggle.
BY this time the train had arrived at the
lower depot, where the man was put off so
as to secure medical assistance No sooner
was he on the platform than, breaking from
the gentleman who had him In charge, he
threw himself upon the track, and declared
his intention to kill himself. 1t was only by
main force that he was carried to a hotel,
when DR.. John Fenner was summoned and
dressed the wounds. Jealousy of his wife ID
the supposed cause, as he repeatedly said:
she, pointing to his wife," is the cause of
it." That lady, handsome brunette, said
