The most determined and repulsive
suicide which has occurred in this VI
cinity was committed yesterday on the
summit, near Franklin. The engineer
of the train on the Jimtown road,
which reaches Franklin about 5 D. M,
saw a man sitting on the track as the
locomotive rushed around a sharp
curve. His coat, vest and hat had
been removed and laid aside carefully.
The blowing of TIE whistle only caus-
ed him to look hastily up. When the
whistle blew down brakes" the man
rose, and as the train came thunder
ing down, despite the efforts to curb
its speed, the suicide deliberately laid
his neck on the rail A moment
more. and, to the horror of the engi-
neer, the locomotive passed over it,
the dull, crushing movement of the
wheels as they tore the head from the
body announcing that the tragedy it
had been sought to prevent had been
effected. The train was stopped and
the body placed in the baggage car, the
head being Immediately wrapped up
in wet cloths. At the time our in
formant left Franklin the body was
being removed, but up to that time no
discovery had been made leading to
Identification. s clothes indicated
that he had been a laborer, but the
cause of the strange tragedy remaine
yet TO be explained.-Titusville Cour-

Speaking of the children one sees in
Lafayette Square. in this city, wri-
ter says: "As l have watched these
little men and women in the care of
underlings, away from the mother for
half day at time, dragged through
the streets, into alleys, into slums,
where, may be, the woman visits some
friend, their eyes beholding all sorts
Of filth, their little weakening senses
receiving all sorts of impressions, l
wonder to myself if, in a future day,
the parents will not be shocked at
some trait exhibited. some evil CROP
ping out in their child, that may owe
its birth to these very nursery infu-
ences. l suppose papa will storm,
mamma will wiring her hands, and
both will wonder how one of their
blood could be SO sttainted. The few
mothers whom l have met with their
children are foreign born, and bred to
affluence and wealth, too, l will hasten
to say, lest you imagine them vulgar.
Mrs. Thornton, the English Ambas-
sadrcss, drives and walks in this park
with her girls and their maids; the
French Minister'S wife sits near by
with the "bonne, to watch the young
count as he runs over the grass; these
people would be shocked at the idea
of allowing their most precious things
to be cared for and kissed alone by an
inferior and vulgar person; and are
American children less precious, or
are American parents less careful and
loving. II Washington Republican.

For creature of such lowly rank
in the scale of animate being, it is
wonderful what literature attaches
to the oyster. Through the roll OF
ages it has been factor of prime i'm
portance in the convivial instincts, the
moralities, and the industries of men.
1t has honorable mention in classic
song and story. When imperial Rome
had her many million populace, and
her almost fabulous wealth, the oys-
ter figured prominently in the more
than lavish luxury of that extrava-
CANT city. Do our oyster growers
know how ancient their calling is?
About 2,4O0 years ago one Sergius
Orata, a man of practical mind,
turned Lake Avernus into an oyster
bed; and through his culture of this
bivalve the Lucerin oysters, as they
we're called, became in reputation the
"saddle-rocks'' OF Rome. And what
a splendid market he had! His prac-
tical genius carried the new industry
of planting to great perfection;
and such was his reputation in that
line that the Romans had saying
that, should the oysters stop growing
in Lucrin Lake. Sergius would make
them grow on the tops of the houses
Avernus has at last succumbed to the
mutations Of time, and is to-day a
miserable hole of volcanic mud. 1t
now offers a good opportunity to test
the great mans abilities; but Sergius
Orata himself dried up some time

The Shreveport Comet of the 19tl

The Shreveport Comet of the 10Th
inst, in an article called Our Opin-
ion," gives this gentle specimen of
Red River White League litera-
ture:
While we are willing, and always
have been, to give to the negro every
thing he needs and should have to
make him happy, free and contented,
We are not, and never will be, in favor
Of his ruling the State of Louisiana
any longer, and we swear by the Eter-
nal Spirit that rules the universe we
will battle against it to the day of our
death, if it costs Us prison or a gall
lows. Let each white man make it
his especial duty to watch the pothouse
scallawagers, as they have spotted
skins and d-n black hearts. OF course
these scoundrels have misrepresented
everything they took occasion to de-
scribe in their infamous letters and
dispatches. Somebody ought to make
these black hearted villains angels at
once, for, from the present temper of
the State, the quicker such monumen.
tai liars take unto themselves wings
and Ay away" the better. Let the
negro be made to know his place,
treat him as he should be treated: but
never. no, never, will we submit more
to his laws, as We we're born free and
will die free, in spite Of all the powers
this side Of hell.

There is one Republican nut which
the Democratic organs of this State
find it impossible to crack. 1t is the
fact that the Republican administra-
ton is steadily paying off the State
debt created by Democratic extrava-
gance, pofigacy and misrule. Every
taxpayer, for example, can appreciate
such Interpreting facts as these: That
since the beginning of the present fis-
cal year, Dec. 1, 1873, State bonds
have been redeemed to the amount of
81 600, 900, and that before the end of
the year the Commissioners of the
sinking fund will redeem $500, 900
more, thus paying off 81 300, 900 of the
State debt during the current fiscal
year; that this Republican work of
redemptiou has been going steadily on
since 1861, removing the burden of
debt from the State, which was heap
ed upon it by the Democratic party;
that during the last thirteen years.
S19,0OO.0O0 of debt have thus been
paid of, and that this has been done
not by heavy taxes, but by wise pol
icy in developing the resources of the
State, and by honest and judicious
management of its finances. The Dem
ocratic party in thirty years piled up
a debt Of $4,000, 600, and at the pres
ent rate Of liquidation, the Repabli-
can party will pay it off in considera
bly, less than that time.-Pittsburg
(Pa) Commercial.
The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1874-11-04

Will our grumbling opponents, who
profess to be dissatisfied with every
thing the Republican party has done
or proposes to do, point to single in
stance in the history Of the world in
which any country was developed SO
rapidly as these United States have
been since the Republican party came
into power? Take the census of 1870
and compare it with that of 1860.
These two censuses show that our
population increased over % per cent.
during those ten years; that our man
ufactures were doubled in extent, pro-
duct, and value; that our agricultural
area and product increased one third
in extent and quantity; that our num-
Der of miles of railway were more
than doubled; that our workmen were
paid higher wages and were better off
than ever before; and that the bor-
rowing power of the Government, as
shown b.; actual transactions, was re-
duced from IL per cent. interest paid
on loans under Buchanan to 5 per
cent. paid under Grant.
Now, gentlemen, show us parallel
to this and we'll vote the straight
Democratic ticket; or, if you can not
do so, then manfully acknowledge
your folly in attempting to belittle the
achievements Of the party that has
ACCOMPLISHED these results.

Mr.. and Ms. Cookery, occupying
rooms on Michigan avenue, between
Seventh and Eighth streets. They do
not live as happily - two doves in a
cot; on the contrary is's an very-day
occurrence for one or the other to
wish he or she was dead. Yesterday
morning they had Jaw" and fight,
and Mr.. Corkery relarked that he
would rather hang himself than live
with her another day. Mrs. Cookery
replied that if he wanted to hang him
self she had no objections, and this
made him madder than ever. II will
hang myself" he exclaimed, striking
the table with his fist. DO so!'' enc
replied, kicking over . chair. He
went out on the veranda overlooking
the back yard, unfastened the clothes
line, hitched it overhead, made a
moose. and when he went In for a chair
to stand on he said: In five minutes
| shall be dead mani And I shall
be happy woman!' was the reply.
This made him madden still. and he
went out with his chair, put his head
in the moose, and there was . real ease
Of hanging. The wife must have
heard him kick over his chair in his
struggles, and heard his gasps and
groans, but she kept on washing her
dishes. A man named Patrick Dol
sey who was saving wood in the next
yard, saw the whole thing, and he
rushed around. sprand up stairs, and
when he saw Mrs. Corkery washing
cups and saucers he shouted: Your
husband is hanging himself!" Yes.
he said he would" she answered, Civ
ing the dish-cloth a ring. Dorsey
grabbed for knife and ran out, and
after moment had Corkery down on
i the floor. 1t vas in good time. The
old man was as black in the face as a
horse plum, his tongue protruded, his
eyes hung out, and another minute
would have made dead Cookery OF
him. 1t was long time before he
could speak, and they had to bathe
him in whisky and get him into bed
Dorsey obtained the assistance of two
other men to do this, and during all
their stay Mrs. Corkery never gave
her husband as much as look. When
she had finished washing her dishes
she sat down and went to sewing, tax
ing no interest whatever in the case
When Dorsey remarked that her con.
duct was cold and unchristian, he
touched tender chord, and she repli
cd:
"lf anybody wants to hang them
selves, is it any of my business?"
Cookery said he would do it, and he
tried to, but he still lives, and it il
not impossible that the day will come
when the two will be happy and sing
like blue jays on the top rail of pas
| ture fence.
