From all portions Of the country, and
for some time past, the telegraph and
our exchange list bring us distressing
accounts Of death by suicide. The
mania for selfdestruction certainly ex-
lists to fearful extent, and periodically
sweeps like a great wave over thecountry;
butt may be its prevalence seems greater
now than formerly, in consequence OF
the publicity given, as scarcely case
occurs that is not reported in the papers
or telegraphed to all points. 1t seems
that our people, are growing as bad al
most as the French, as people kill them
selves now for almost anything. If a
man is unfortunate in business, or ar
rested for crime, or done something
wrong, and exposure is threatened, he

little unfortunate love affair, inns
mediately seeks the drug store, and
with morphine, laudanum or something
else, rushes into eternity, 1t is de-
plorable to witness this morbid senti-
ment in regard to such solemn matters
as life and death, and which can per
haps only be remedied by a better edu-
cation of the young; and, as the Eve
ming News says, that life is not made
up of unalloyed happiness, and it must
not be thrown away because everything
it brings is not pleasant" The world is
so constituted that we must take a good
deal of bitterness with the sweet; and
not little happiness is due to the sue
cessful combating Of adverse circnm-
cumstances, trying as the homely phrase
has it, Ito make the best Of things.
To give up so easily is moral cowardice,
and becomes terribly demoralizing upon
a nation who considers life Of so little
value, and such people win ever lack
the ability to pass through any severe
ordeal. During the past few weeks we
have had here in Memphis several at
tempts at suicide; and from other places
the news also is brought to us of unfor-
tunates tired of life, its cares and re-
sponsibilities, who seek in death to drown
misfortunes and troubles. This is all
wrong. A suicidal mania saps the

HOW TO CONDUCT A NEWSPAPER.

From an address delivered by Colonel
Cameron, of the Jackson Wing, before
the Tennessee Press Association, at
Nashville recently, we take the follow
ing sensible suggestions, which we find
in the Nashville Banner Of the ID:
There is a very common fault in the
management Of " country newspapers,
which nothing but the hardest and most
unyielding industry can remedy. 1t is
the want Of rariety in their contents
and especially want Of local news of
the communities in which they are
printed. Very many III the conductors
of country newspapers seem to have
an idea that if they present good
amount Of reading matter, and that Of a
fair guilty, they have done all that can
reasonably be expected Of them. Let
such men take up a country newspa-
per "--or a city one either, for that mat
ter-on a railroad steamboat or at
hotel, with not more than half a dozen
articles-all long-and you will see his
lip curl, and the tip Of his nose turn to
the sun, in contempt of the man who
conducts il. IL is the experience Of all
newspaper men, and Of all sensible news
paper readers, that paper filled with
short, sententions articles--brim-fnll of
ideas, and clothed in plain, pointed
Saxon--are far preferable to those filled
with long and necessarily prolix articles.

from Houston, Texas, that the celebrated

Of General Sherman as a Democratic

Sherman, said he SIS smart man
and shrewd man. There is no doubt
but what he Is looking forward to the
Presidency, and if he can't get it from
one party, he intends to from the other,
he is not very particular about parties
In course OF time he expects to be
President, but he is in no particular
hurry about it, His chief aim now is not
to lose his popularity, and to be ready
when the golden moment comes. He is
a military man, and don't care much
about parties. He is a good deal as
Grant was after the close of the war.

Appearances indicate that they will. "

The report of the request to President
Grant, to appoint young Meagher, son
of General T. F. Meagher, cadet at West
Point, is authoritatively denied The
following explanation is given; Mrs.
Meagher recently intimated to members
of the Irish Brigade of New York that
her son George would like to enter the
West Point Academy. A delegation
visited the President, and were told that
be would do al he could for the boy,
and that what few appointments were in
his power were given to sons Of merito-
rious officers Tammany, however,
hearing of the probable action of the
President was alarmed, and by its in
structions Congressman Roosevelt, of
New York city, made the appointment
himself, and informed Mrs. Meagher,
who accepted the action.

Hebrew Orphan Asylum Picnic.
Although we have already referred in
our columns to this entertainment, which
is to take place at James Park to-mor-
row, we would again remind our readers
that this is going to be he picnic Of the
season. Those who in former years
have witnessed the exemplary manner
in which the ladies and gentlemen con-
nected with the management have con-
Quoted these amusements, need no further
encouragement; in fact every depart
ment is so well arranged, under the per-
sonal superintendence Of the ladies con-
nected with the enterprise, that visitors
must feel at home. There .will,be-two
stands for restaurants, where you can
obtain hot meals from noon to midnight;
several ice cream and cake departments,
all of them under the charge Of the
ladies. The music band engaged is the
best and largest in the city. Besides,
we understand, the Gilfort brothers will
give some Of their acrobatic feats during
the afternoon. We also learn that q
great many of our business houses will
close early in the afternoon, in order to
give their employees an opportunity to
enjoy themselves. In concluding these
remarks, we predict that the Hebrew
picnic, for the benefit Of their orphans,
will excel any thing in that line this sea-
son. The various committees consist of
the following gentleman.
