The Latest Novelty i'm Suicide,

One of the most distressing affairs we
have ever been called upon to notice took
place IN Tallahassee e, Fla, few days ago
Mrs. A. W. Pace, wife of a popular and
successful Jacksonville merchant, and
daughter of Mr.. George Damon, prom
inent merchant in Tallahassee, seemed to
be suffering from some mental derange-
ment, and, thinking change of sc enc and
surroundings might cure her incipient
malady, her husband took her to her pa
rents and friends in Tallahassee on
Wednesday last. That night, soon after
her arrival at her fathers house, she called
the family around her and prayed and ex-
horted them to prepare for a great and sad
calamity. None had any idea that she was
contemplating anything like selfdestruc-
ton.
The next morning early, ner father went
out to procure bottle of wine for her,
and soon after his departure she took a
kerosene lamp or can, and saturating her.
self from head to foot, put a match to it,
and in a moment was enveloped in the
flames. Her husband and others, hearing
her shrieks, ran to her rescue, and, throw
ing bucket of water over her. endeavored
to extinguish the flames. This proved
unavailing, and her husband, Selling a
blanket, threw it around her, and finally
succeeded in putting out the flames, but
not until the poor victim was burned to
such an extent that she died in a few
hours, after the most intense suffering.
Mrs. Pace was quite young, and had
been married only about three or four
years. Two years ago she was the happy
wife of devoted husband, whose success
in business had placed him in comfortable
circumstances. We have not learned the
causes which led to the distressing calami-

HIGH HEELs.-No one who laces ha-
bitually can have straight or strong
back. The muscles being unbalanced,
become fabby or contracted, unable to
support the trunk Of the body erect, and
curvature-usually double curvature
-of the spine is the consequence. And
if anything were needed to aggravate
the spinal curvature, intensity the COM
preston of the internal viscera, and add
to the general deformity, it is found in
the modern contrivance of stilted gait
ers. These are made with heels so high
and narrow that locomotion is awkward
and painful, the center of gravity is shifted
to parts unknown, and the head is thrown
forward and the hips projected backward
to maintain perpendicularity, rendering
walking and all other voluntary exercis-
es not only distressing to the person, but
disagreeable to the spectator.

He knows all about il, an he'll do his

never leave the spot where his love an
his duty binds him. If he goes for to

he stays here, it'll be his duty to tend to

bloom upon her grave-over the fruits
of simple truths and the new life she sees
