SUICIDE IN SAN JosE.-We clip the
annexed from the San Jose Independent
of the 9th instant:
Early last evening the startling
news was brought 10 town that Reu-
ben Jones, we'll known In this commu-
nifty, had committed suicide. The
deed was consummated at the barn
owned by Mrs. Simons, corner of Thir-
teenth and Julian streets. Higgen-
bottom, a gentleman who lives close at
hand, about five o'clock in the after
noon, heard grooming in the barn, and
entering, found Jones lying on his
face with his throat cut, and bleeding
p~rofusely. 1t was found that he had
severed the jugular vein and carotid
artery, the instrument used being the
smallest blade Of a large knife. From
appearances, Jones must have entered
the barn, took off his coat and vest
and then deliberately attempted to
kill himself. Some time before Jones
came to the house of a Mr.. Caldwell
with his team for the purpose of hav-
Ing his wagon repaired, and Caldwell
took the team and went to town to OBJ
tain a bolt of some kind. While he
was gone Jones went TO the barn of
Mrs. Simmons, where he was after
ward found In the agonies of death.
He must have lain an hour after cut
ting his throat.

CAPTURE OF A DRUM FIsH.-Somo
gentlemen Of New York city went on
a fishing expedition, recently, to Ber-
gen Point, New Jersey, to catch weak
fish. Instead Of catching weak fish,
they caught one strong enough to pull
the boat, containing three men and a
boy. around Newark Bay, for o space
of fifteen minutes. The monster of the
deep proved to be a huge drum fish
weighing fifty-eight and a half pounds.
measuring about four feet in length
and two feet across the center Of tho
drum-like body. Its head was about
the size of mans head, and its mouth
was big enough to admit Of the en-
trance Of Scotch terrier. The scales
of the fish were Of the size and thick
ness of a small sized clam she'll. The
fish was cut and distributed among
about twenty persons, In pieces large
enough to make a good-sized meal for
n family. The decapitated head Is
displayed to the wondering gaze Of
fishermen at Bergen Point.

PERHAPS our Democratic friends will
at last see, however dimly, that their
rebel brethren in South Carolina are
not the lambs they are believed to be
by the faithful In the North. Tired Of
killing colored' men, they have now
turned upon the members Of Congress
sent South to investigate their humane
conduct. The last outrage, at York
Vile, S. c., Is Of a character so mon
strous that it might well be doubted If
we had not had full knowledge Of the
fiendish nature Of these wicked men,
But, thank God! we now have q Gov
ernment-one rescued from rebellion,
and purified and c~onsecrated BY the
best blood Of the hation-and this Gov
eminent has a President at its head
who will not fear or hesitate to crush
out, at every hazard, the savage spirit
that once more aspires to destroy the
Republic. No party that a~filiates
with the authors Of these murders and
crimes al Eve obtain power in this

DRIFTING ON TIE BAY.-The sub
joined Is copied from the Oakland
l'ermini Of the 9th ult.:
Yesterday morning a jolly party of
about thirty couple started from the
railroad pier, in the schooner Truckee,
for q cruise around the Islands of the
bay. The party was made up of the
wealth and beauty of Oakland. The
wind was fair as the schooner cast oil,
and continued blowing q gentle breeze
until about three miles Off the wharf
on their return trip. At this time the
wind suddenly went down, and they
drifted without oars. Night was COM
ing on, and yet they drifted. Dark
ness closed around them and the
changing tide carried them into San
/, Pablo Bay. When the bright moon
came out it shone on thirty Of the
worst frightened pleasure seekers that
ever went abroad. The ladies were
made as comfortable as possible, while
the gentlemen stood watch and gazed
with longing eyes toward the fair but
distant city OF Oakland. They looked
over into the blue waters as the inhab-
itants Of the deep would come to the
surface, give a grin and dive down into
their retreats. Thus the hours passed,
aud when day dawued their eyes were
gladdened by the sight of the Thor,
oughfare, plunging through the water
In search Of the unfortunate party,
They were taken on board the steamer
and reached Oakland about seven this
morning. "Lifeon the Ocean Wave
IN a small schooner, was pronounced q
fraud.

MINERS LEAGUE.-A meeting Of the
Miners League was held last evening
at their hall, and rs usual a large num-
Der were present. The meeting was
addressed by Mr.. James Phelan, Presi-
dent of the Virginia City Union, for
upward of an hour. He assured them
that the sympathy of the working class
of people in their position throughout
the State was with them, and made
offers of assistance, should it be need
ed. He was very enthusiastically re-
ceived, and his remarks were often
applauded. He was followed by L.
w. Byrne, Of the Miners League, and
several others, the meeting not ad-
journlng until quite a late hour. 1t Is
reported that an Anti League Associa-
ton has been formed In Amador City
for the protection Of those who have
been working in the mines Of that Vi
cinity contrary to the wishes Of the
League. Beyond the mere fact, I was
unable to gain any particulars.-Sut-

President Grant In ordering Govern

PEOPLE intending to commit suicide
by taking laudanum, are cautioned not
to eat 1t out Of q bowl with a table,
spoon. They will almost certainly
take too much IN this way, and 1t will
act as a harmless emetlc. The poison
should be put into an ounce phial,
corked up and swallowed. A smart
blow upon the stomach, with n brick,
will break the phial, aud the contents
will come out and 60 to work at once.
After swallowing the bottle, some per-
sons prefer to stand astera of a kicking
horse and gently bic the end Of his
tail until he sets his heels into the
biter's abdomen but If you are going
to do that you needn't take the lauda-
mum at all.

FRED. DOUGLASS has been giving his
people some good advice. Speaking
at a colored meeting at Baltimore, re-
Gently, he said:
ave hope yet to see the day when
the colored mechanics of Baltimore
will leave the lanes and alleys. 1t
would be impossible for angels to rear
families In those dreadful dens of bad
air and bad morals, and to lead lives
of intelligence, virtue and refinement.
We must get rid of the somewhat re-
ligious idea that we ought to live, like
bats and owls, In holes and corners on
the earth, in order to live In glory
hereafter. They must understand their
day and generation. Leaving the
things that are behind, and shaking of
the ideas and customs of the old house
of bondage, they must adjust them
selves to the demands Of the new rela-
tions into which, by the inevitable
laws of human society, they have now
been brought"

Is O woman we judge to be about 40
years of age ; rather pleasant countc-
nance /; shows no indications in her

the county Jail last evening, but be-
coming hysterical, was humanely re-
moved to u room in the Pollard House.
Halford, who is suspected Of being an
accessory, Is a man apparently be-
tween IS and 40 years Of age, Of gen.
tell appearance and intelligent face.
1t Is charged that he Is a palamour ot
Mrs Crenshaw. This statement we
give for what it Is worth, 1t being hear

dren, and II innoeent'of the crime, Is

ROME, July 31.-There is great ex-
element here over the vote in the
French Assembly on the position of
the Pope. The journals regard a war
with France as probable, and accuse
the ministry Of betraying the country.
LONDON, July 3l.-There Is a grow
ing uneasiness in the public mind over
the fact that the cholera, which has
ragged for two years in Russia rs a ter
rible scourge, has not yet reached the
frontier. Close watch has been insti-
tuted to prevent its progress. It may
not now come by way Of sea, and the
Government has prescribed regulations
to be enforced upon all ships from the
Baltic ports. Some cases have been
discovered at Hull, which Is on the
route Of emigrants from North Ger
many to America.

h FRUIT SEASON.

One Of the greatest luxuries Of sum-
mer Is Its fruit. It Is indeed not only
q luxury, but q provision Of nature for
the promotion Of health during the
season when there Is supposed to be
the greatest liability to disease. If all
the fruits are properly used in their
season, they undoubtedly tend to pro-
mote a healthful condition Of the sys-
tenn and ward Off fevers and other
lorna q summef-diseAse.- tevery--
thing depends upon Its proper use. 1t
should be perfectly ripe and perfectly
fresh. or at least perfectly sound. 1t
should not have any faint Of decay.
To get fruit that Is ripe and sound is
not SO easy a matter as 1t ought to be,
and especial care Is necessary on the
part Of housekeepers to see that none
that Is green or rotten reaches the table,
rs nothing Is much more detrimental to
health than fruit in these conditions,
whether berries or the larger varieties.
If the teaching Of the doctors Is true,
there Is prevalent error concerning the
times for using fruit, which must also
have some effect on the health. An old
adage pronounces It "golden at morn,
silver at noon, and lead at night" and
the teachings Of hygienic writers
strongly support the same view. But
In most families it is probably more
freely used at evening than at any
other time. If used but once it is for
tea, while those who make a more fire.
quent Use of it do not omit it at the
third meal, making it lead instead Of
gold. II any are disposed to expert
ment to test the theory, they will GER
'taihly find that a free use of 1t in the
morning and a very sparing use Of 1t
at night will be followed by very
pleasant effects upon the health. But
people will generally consult their
tastes in all these matters rather than
the rules of the doctors.

ALLEGED HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.
Marshal Peters and Constable Knerr
having reason to suspect that John
Jacks, the man charged with being ac-
cessory to Moses Black In the stealing
Of o lot of mules from Phoebe, was con-
cealed in the vicinity Of the water
works, went over there last night and
succeeded in etfecting his capture.
They found him asleep in a wagon bed
at the second station, and Hank Knerr
crawled in on him, which awakened
him, and he drew q six-shooter and
cooked 1t, but Hank was too quick and
wrenched 1t from his grasp. Peters
then rushed In and the two officers
secured their man. He even then
showed fight, trying to use bis pocket
knife. He was brought to town, and
lodged in Jail, and will DO sent to

rHr CROP.

A Western paper has recently pub
lished a table Of statistics Of the to-
bacco crop Of the several States, giving
the yield per acre, price per pound
and gross profit per acre. From this
table it appears that In Connecticut
the tobacco crop yields per acre l,460
pounds worth q cents. making the
gross return 1891 so per acre ; in New
Jersey 1t yields 1900 pounds worth 81
cents, or a gross return Of 1915 per
acre !; in Massachusetts, 1t yields 1900
pounds worth &c cents, or 1912 per
acre; In Michigan it yields 1000
pounds worth 20 cents, or 5000 per
acre; in Missouri the yield is 9O2
peanaslxersh- 20 cents a pound, or
800 20 per acre ; In New York the
yield is 500 pounds worth IA cents or
Sll2 per acre; In Arkansas the yield
is $50 pounds worth Is cents, or $9l 90
per acre in Indiana the yield is 73l
pounds worth 0 cents, or $65 20 per
acre in Ohio the yield is 700 pounds
worth 6 cents, or $42 per acre /; in Ken
lucky the yield is 667 pounds worth
9 cents, or $50, 03 per acre ; in Illinois
the yield is 663 pounds worth 8 cents,
or $53 Oh per acre In North Caro-
lima the yield Is sos pounds worth 10
cents, or $66 OF per acre In Mary
land the yield is 800 pounds worth Is
cents, or sos per acre In Florida the
yield is 500 pounds worth 9 cents, or
S45 per acre /; in Virginia the yield is
AS pounds worth 10 cents, or $4l 80
per acre, and in Georgia the yield is
375 pounds worth 10 cents, or 81 %
per acre. On examining the above
figures 1t will be perceived that the
profit from growing tobacco In Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, and New Jer-
sey is very large, while in Maryland
and Virginia the yield is very small.
These remarkable differences are &C
counted for by the fact that, in the
Northern States, only very fertile
tracts are planted with tobacco, and
that the best and most careful man.
agement is pursued. The great gain
in the weight of the tobacco, it is
stated, is caused by the manner Of
manuring. Thus, In Maryland, the
planters, it is said, think they are very
liberal if they dress their crops with
three hundred pounds Of guano to the
acre, while very few comparatively use
anything more than the manures Of
the yard, poor in quality, and meagre
in quantity, and then sprinkle each
plant with the lightest application of
plaster. On the other hand, in Con-
necticut, the planter manures his
ground heavily at first, with stable
manure or waste from the tobacco fac
tories, and then gives, at the very
least, three hundred pounds per acre
OF the best Peruvian guano. A yield
Of from $500 to $500 per acre Is so GER
tain from this treatment that the Con-
necticut planter does not fear to spend
800 to the acre in manure.
