SUICIDE BY POISONING.

from the San Francisco Alta OF yesterday
Cornelius McAlleor, q drayman In
this city, died suddenly Monday night,
and the Inquest held yesterday brought
out the following facts: McAileer had
been drinking frequently to excess,
suffering with delirium tremens ut
times. Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock
he came home. being evidently under
the Influence Of liquor. His wife re-
monstrated with him and he went
away, returning about 2 o'clock. He
said to his wife she would soon have
no more chance to reproach him. He
laid down and being soon In convul-
sions. Father Cullen was sent for, who
we /. to DIR. john NJ. Wiley, asking
his assistance. DIR. Wiley remarked
that his stomach pump was out OF Or
der and requested the Father to pro-
ure that instrument HIMSELF going in
the meantime to the patient. The i'll
strument and remedy were procured,
but proved unayailing. McAlleer con-
fessed to the doctor that he had taken
n teaspoonful OF poison, but would not
tell OF what kind Of poison. The doc
tor judged It must have been arsenic,
and a package OF that poison was found
afterward In the room. McAlleer sunk
rapidly. and In his last moments dep
recated his rash action. He died ut
half past IL o'clock. The verdict Of
the jury was that he died OH the 18th
day Of June. 1877, at Shipley street,
between Eighth and Ninth streets,
from the effect Of poison administered
by himself. He was born In Ireland,
and aged about s. years.

While Alfred Livingston was fore

they took down the stove In Mr.. Gree

where he was wont to sit OH a very

very high desk. The stove-pipe had
gone straight through the ceiling. and
after Its removal no provision had been
made for closing the hole. Above, In

1t as n target. 1t was a warm May day.
Mr.. Greeley sat underneath, and, worn
out with his labors, had fallen into q
gentle and innocent slumber. He had

A CUBAN BRUTE.

A noteworthy instance Of how the
laws enacted by the Spanish Cortes are
complied with In Cuba, occurred re-
Gently OH a sugar estate near Jaruco,
between Havana and Matanzas. Artl-
Gle q, of the Inv approved by the
Cortes June %, 1870, prohibits the fog
ging of slaves. Like all other Spanish
onactments designed to modify the
horrors Of slavery In Cuba, this law
has been . dead letter. It has, how
ever. seldom been so flagrantly out
ragged az In the instance under notice.
One Pedro Regalado Ortcga, formerly
o machinist, now owner Of q sugar es-
tate, ordered two female slaves to be
logged In his presence. In Cuba, when
punishment Of this sort Is administered
the offenders are stripped to the hips
and laid on their faces on the ground
there they are firmly held by the hands
and feet BY their fellow slaves, while
the rest of the gang 10 drawn up In file
to witness the castigation. The lashes,
numbering ordinarily from % to 100,
arc then administed. 1t happened that
one Of the Victims Of this brute's fero-
city managed In her agony to pull one
of her feet from the grasp Of another
female who was holding her. Ortega,
who was standing by with q heavy
club In his hand, struck the woman,
who had released her hold, . fearful
blow across the loins, and repeated 1t
with a second one on the nape Of the
neck. which killad her Instantly. The
brute Is In jail, but reasons OF such a
nature have been adduced to the AL
calde Of Jaruco, ono Orduna, that Or
tega's speedy release Is anticipated by
his friends.

GIANT POWDER EXPLOSION.

Last Thursday morning a terrible
explosion took place In the Mahogany
mine. A miner named Ole Anderson,
who was working at the wlndiass OF
the fifth level wlnze, inadvertently
dropped n candle snuff into a box con-
talning six OF seven giant powder car
tridges, together with a quantity Of
fuse and caps, and then sat down OH
the box. An explosion Immediately
took place, and Anderson was thrown
n distance Of several feet, the flesh Of
the lower portion Of his body being
mangled and lacerted In a fearful
manner. He was taken to his board
Ing house. and Is said to be In a fair
way to recover. The explosion tore
up, broke aud twisted the windlass
timbers. six inches In diameter, and
knocked men down who were seventy
feet distant. Anderson's escape from
instant death was almost Miraculous

IMPORTANT tgNp Inyrr1Iun.
From The 8. F. Bunetin. june 0th.l


One Of the greatest drawbacks to the
successful prosecution Of the Important
mining operations which the great
impetus given 10 this important Inter-
est during the past few years has
called Into existence, Is the want OF
some adequate means OF Kidding the
lower levels and deep excavations OF
the influx Of water, which interferes
with the Operations Of the workmsn
and not rfnfrequently causes a snspen-
sion Of the most important enterprise,
involving the loss Of . large amount
ofcapltaI. As Is invariably the result
In such cases, the inventive genius Of
our people-to which there would seem
to be no limit-has been steadily
directed to the production Of some
means by which this evil could be
remedied. The invention Of the rotary
pump Of Messrs. Goodwin & West,
which has been In successful operation
for several weeks past at the Miners
Foundry In this city, would seem TO
have accomplished the end desired.
A large number ofenglneers, practical
miners, and parties "posted" In
hydraulics and mechanics. who have
witnessed the operations Of this pump,
and tested Its powers and capacity,
have pronounced It decidedly superior
to anything Of the kind In existence
for the purpose for which 1t Is designed.
The diameter Of he pump ID 2lH
inches with q width Of 919 inches, and
with a velocity Of Ia revolutions, It Is
capable Of raising 1000 gallons per
minute. The machinery Is simple,
and complication being avoided, Is not
liable ~ get out Of order, while from
the avoidance of friction, the wear and
tear inseparable from other machinery
Of this character, Is almost nothing. It
IL claimed for this invention that It can
be manufactured, set up and operated
more effectuaiiy, and ata cheaper rate
thanlany other In use, and a number OF
orders have been given by parties who
have witnessed the operation, for use
In the mines Of Mexico, California
and Nevada. Parties interested In
mining and hydraulic operations, can
have the, opportunity Of judging for
themselves rs to the merits OF this
pump, which ls at work each day ut the
Miners Foundry.

"EEBEE GRAY.

The following is from the Philadcl-
phia I,tquirer. We commend it to
the consideration of the Home
Guards who cannot find it in their
hearts To forgive the Southern peo-
pie for having -ebelled:
There were some brave soldiers
among those who during the rebellion
marched away from Waterbury, Con-
nccticut, and by this token are they
known: Buried in the grave yard of
that town lies q young fellow, na-
tive Of that place. who died, not in
the Union blue, but in Rebel gray -
fighting, not under the Stars and
Stripes, but the bonnie blue flag that
bears single STAR Whenever dec
Grafton day comes round, and the sol
diers of the Union who survived
march out TO the little cemetery to
cover with the fragrant spring flowers
the graves of those who, in heroic sac
ritice, died to make men free under
the folds Of their beautiful banner,
they cover the mound OF the rebel as
deep with bud and floweras any other
there. He, too, had cause to fight
for; it might have been ever so bad a
one, yet to his simple seeing it was
good and sublime enough to die for.
1t seems to us that those Waterbury
men, who for four years stood face to
face with rebels, meeting their hail of
lead and iron with calm, true daring,
can Judge as fairly of their old enc
mics as those old members OF Con-
gress who spent the period of rebell-
ion In Washington. If our soldiers
can honor the dead rebels grave, can
not we agree to pardon tie living one?
The long years of peace, if nothing
else, have condoned his otfenses
against his country. He wants citi-
zenship, the right to make the laws
which he submits to, the right to stand
on equal ground with his late slave.
1t is not much he asks for, nor more
than a generous people, who have won
the victory, should be willing to
grant. The greatest people are not
those who are strongest in battle, but
those who when the battle is won, can
forgive the vanquished enemy.
