MoNTGoMERY's SUIcIDE.-The Boston correspon-
dent or the Sacramento Union, speaking of the
suicide of Walter Montgomery, says: There have
been many rnmors afloat as to the cause of his rash
act, but none of them have told the exact truth.
A few years ago there served as a waitress in a
restaurant in this city a young girl of extraordi-
nary personal attractions. Of course she was an
object of interest to many of the opposite sex. and
one gentleman of wealth and good social position
fell desperately in love with her. He made known
his passion, and won her promise to be his wife.
But before she should assume that character, he
thought she ought to receive a little education and
social polish. So he sent her to a good school for
a time. and finally married her. But the match
didn't prove a happy one her sudden elevation
was too much for the poor girls head. Even horses
and carriages and unlimited pocket-money could
not compensate her for the abridgment of her per-
sonal liberty. They quarreled. and at last separa-
ted-the wife receiving a liberal llowance from
her still loving husband. She went to Europe.
where she has led a life of splendor. Montgomery
met her, was infatuated with her beauty. and mar
ried her. The day after the wedding she told him
that her first husband was still living, and the shock
overturned his reason. Such is the most reliable
account of this strange event. The husband of the
ex-waitress is still living here, l believe.

Alphonse Karr's --latest Witticism.

Alphonse Karr contributes the following to the

between a group of heroes-dwellers in Pluto's
dark domain-who have just heard a recital of
the French war from a defunct soldier of Gam
beta
Leonidas-'' Why, with those new arms the
Persians would not have taken five minutes to get
rid of me and my three hundred heroes"
Hercules" l should like to know what good
my strength would be in dealing with people who
would never come within a thousand yards of my
club ?"
Samson" And what a pretty figure [ should

Lord Charles Hay" When at Fentenoy, 1
took off my hat, and said, Fire, gentlemen of the
French Guard"
Count d'Hauteroche-ss And then 1 answered
returning your salutation, Fire, gentlemen of the
English army, we never fire the first"
Lord Charles Hay There s an end to all such
chivalrous usages. They fire now at such a dis
lance as to render the voices of the combatants
inaudible to each other. Why, with the new sys-
tenn of artillery, We cannot discern with the eye
the uniforms of the troops whose guns deeimate

| Without intending to participate IN any any
vacant seat in the Senate, we give our last
editorial on Senator Johnston as an appen-
dix to the pamphlet aforesaid, merely add
Ing that this article is by the author OF both
OF the former editorials: 49,.
From the Lynchburg News, June 20, ls7o.l
THE HON. JOHN ". JOHNSTON. " .a
We observe that the name Of this gentle
man is signed to the address recently issued
by the Democratic members Of the two
Houses of Congress. and which is under
stood TO be from the pen OF that able and
accolnp lished statesman, Senator Thurman,
Of Ohio. In thus arraying himself along
with that band Of Conservative states
men who have been battling so bravely
against the usurpations and abuses OF
the INSCRIPTIONS factionists now control
ing the Government and Congress of the
United States, Senator johnson takes his
proper position as representative of the
Estate of Virginia. The circumstances at
tending his election as a Senator, on the
same platform with that apostate Yirginian,
John F.. Lewis, and the tone of letter
written shortly after the election, did not
| impress US very favorably in regard to MIR.
Johnston and on former occasion we eX-
pressed our opinion of him in no very
complimentary terms. His course in the
Senate for some time past, and the manly
attitude now assumed by him, have pro-
duced change 10 our estimate of him as
man and a statesman, and we take pleasure
in making this aYowal, and expressing our
regrets for any injustice we may have done
him. s"- .F
While we are highly gratified at the
course of Mr.. Johnston, we cannot but eX-
press our regret that, of all the members
from Virginia, his name alone is signed to
the address referred to. In one-o two IN
stances this may be owing to accidental
fabsence from Washington city at the time
the address was issued, but if such is the
case there Is abundant opportunity for any
member then prevented from assuming his
proper position to place himself right be-
| fore his constituents through The medium
| of the newspapers. A failure to do SO cam
mot but be regarded unfayorablyto any one
a Conservative constituency.
! In these times those who are not for us are
against us.
