A SUICIDAL MANIA OK THE EASTERN suORr

SUICIDAL MANIA OK TIKI EASTERN SHORE.
Some time ago, ths murder of Mics Amelia
Shockley, OF Salisbury, Nd, by her lover, George
Hal, and the subsequent snieide Of the murderer,
was mentioned in these columns. Shortly after
this occurrence, q lad Of 10, named Luther Tar
button, residing IN Talbot county, committed sui.
eide by hanging, from nc other reasOn than a de-
preston Of mind, and q morbid desire to destroy
his life, prodnced BY reading the accounts of HAls
crime and death.
But the succession of suicides did mot and hare
a highly respectable and intelligent merchant from
Baltimore, Mr.. Richard Sherwood, was visiting
tor hs health in the vicinity of the suicide OF the
Toy Tarbutton At the time Of the transaction He
seemed much depressed and insisted upon return
ing to the city a. soon - the funeral of the boy
was over, and IN q few days committed suicide
by hanging himself TO q bed post, in q manner az
near like the boy referred 10 above, as circum.
stances woald allow. IT
With these two CASA before us, il may bo oues-
ton, how far familiarity with scenes of this char
aeter tended TO produce . morbid state Of mind.

Il is now almost Fixed fact that Pro-

tute Of this city, win start from Boston
Common on July 4, on bis aerial voyage
across the Atlantic. Mr.. Washington
n. Donaldson, the daring aeronaut,
and two scientific gcnielmen; not yet
seIected-aIthough there are many appii-
cants Cor the adventure will accompany
him. withinafew days past The Common
Council e Boston have appropriated the
sum Of 5000 for the purchase Of the
materials for the balloon and for other
necessary appsrtus, provided The Bos-
ton men Of science can be satisfied
that the Professors theory Is a plaus-
ibIe one. Prof Wise ays he can
do this beyond all question. We will
make the journey Of 5000 miles in not
more than seventy hours and probably
only sixty. His confidence in the sue
cess Of his venture is based on the theo-
Dry which his frequent experiences as an
aeronaut have proved TO be a true one,
that the entire atmosphere surrounding
the earth moves with the revolution Of
the earth castwarily. According TO this,
as soon as this air-tide Is struck by the
balloon the air-ship viii drih Europe

an hour. But this immense rate ofspccd
will not be a source Of peril 10 the voya-
gers, for, as Professor Wise explains, the
voyagcr IN the balloon, no matter how
fast il may 60, seems to stand STILL
Professor Wise docs not claim that he can
return across the Atlantic through the
air. his theory only involving the practi-
cability Of voyage 10 the East He

To Be Avoided.

As we feared, the farmers movement
is fast FILLING under the control Of the
politicians, and therefore becoming an
organization to be avoided by every pat
riotic citizen. The position it ought to
take, If il really desires to accomplish the
praisewoftby objects for which it was
profcssedly organized, should be ono of
infiexiblc hostility to the professional
politicians of all parties. If it places it
self in their hands, it not only robs itself
Of usefulness, but readers its objects i'm
possible Of accomplishment, and arms the
worst and most implacable enemies Of the
national prosperity with the very weapon
they most need. The politician is essen
tally selfish being. He will sacrifice
every. ennOhlipg ,;ss;Tiinc,pie .. ans ss nature
to accomplish his ends. The political
parties, which in sormer years, were con-
trolled by the people, having the same
laudable purpose in view and differing
only in the modes necessary to accom-
plish that purpose, have under the ma
nipulatiOns Of the politicians, become
mere hot-beds of corruption, schools for
thieves, bands Of robbers and plunderers.
Any organization, any upheaval Of the
people that would sweep the political
harples that are now tearing the vitals of
the republic from place and power, would
be hailed with hosahnas by patriots ey-
erywherc. The Patrons Of Husbandry
began lis career by protesting 10 be the
