Suicide In scott County, Va.

We learn from the Bristol News that the
citizens Of the upper end Of Scott county,
near Cove creek, were startled On Satur-
day by the announcement that Mr.. Will
liam Taylor had committed suicide that
morning. by shooting himself through the
head. He started from bis home early in
the morning, his family thinking he was
going to visit some neighbors. Nothing
was heard OF him till about five O'Clock in
the evening, when his body was discovered
In field near his home pierced through
the temple by three rifle balls, and The
mnsket sill clutched in his hand and
pointing towards the fatal wound. No
cause could be assigned for the fearful
deed, but it is supposed that domestic
troubles urged him to do it. He had lost
his wife about three months before and
the care of his family. consisting of five
small children, one of whom being only
about three months old. seemed to prey
upon his mind, and on failure to secure
another helpmate. put an end to his .rou-

Tne Power of ARTILLERY.

The recent conflict between the French
and the Prussians has been decided-hke
all modern conflicts are now-more by the
power of artillery than by mere hand-to.
hand engagements. New Inventions in
the instruments OF warfare have placed
mere physical strength altogether in the
minority. It used to be the boast that the
British soldier was superior in the matter
of bayontt charge to any other soldier
in the world. Now, however, times are
altered. The results of victory depend,
not On the power of the men individually
but on the power of the artillery collect
lively. Vet this leads US to an old refec
ton. namely, whether the men of the pre-
sent day are equal or inferior in stature to
the warriors of ancient times. The gener
ally accepted belief is that the men of the
present day are quite as stout and stalwart
as they were in the old historic ages ope
gone by. Even at Lord EgIin-
toun's famous tournament not a few
of the knights md some difficulty in find
| ing armor large enough for them to wear
And going even further back, if we take

This table is reasonably fair, but there
are several errors in it. In the first place,
Connecticut is not certain to cast its cleo
toral votes for the Republican candidates.
Sould Gen. Grant be renominsted and the
Democrats select proper candidate, Con.
nectcut is pretty cure TO go Democratic
PenDsy lvania Is also doubtful State
Should General Hancock be nominated,
| he will undouDt eddy carry the State. We
can tell better about Pennsylvania at the
October election. We should take from
the Republican column Connecticut and
| Pennsylvania and put them in the list OF
doubtful States where they rightfully be-
long.
In the list of Democratic States, the Post
puts Louisiana, but that State will proDa
bly, vote for the Republican candidates, il
any Southern State does. The Republic
can majority last year was some fifty thou
sand.
OF the doubtful States, Ohio would pro
badly vote for Mr.. Groeebock, but we dc
not have much confidence in the ability o.
the Democracy to carry it. Indeed Ohio
IS about as decidedly Republican as Wis
consin, and should be counted on tba
SIDE. Should the Democracy carry the
State in October, the prospect would be
revered. California is surely Democratic
and so is West Virginia. The Republic rs
