Academy of Music.

This evening should be one of those oc-
casions npon which this favorite place of
amusement is crowded to its utmost ca
pacity and standing room hardly left, for
tonight Miss Jennie Engle takes her benefit,
and if there is one artist in the troupe who
is deserving of public favor and patronage
it is certainly this lady, who has done not
little in making the present theatrical sea
son one of such general success for this
theatre, and one of the most entertaining
and amusing for the people.
Let the fair beneficiary receive from her
countless host of admirers just testimonial
OF their appreciation of her talents. The
"Seven Sisters" with its grand Zouave drill,
and replete with many other attractions
constitute the performance.
Last evenings performance came off with
usual eclat, though, in consequence of the
procession of the Disciples of Thespis, the
attendance was naturally less than on pre-
vious nights.
Let the ladies bear in mind that at the
matinee tomorrow there is to be given away
gold watch and chain to the holder of the
lucky ticket. There is an equal chance for

Love and Suicide.

Yesterday about 10 o'clock A. NJ, Joseph
Meunier, the son of Judge Meunier, of the
Third District Court, made an attempt to
commit suicide in the City Park, near the
entrance, by swallowing half-ounce of
laudanum, and then shooting himself near
the heart, with a pistol He was taken to
his residence at the corner Of Esplanade and
Miro streets, where Drs. Windall and Dupa-
quet were summoned, who pronounced his
wound fatal.
Statement OF His Fath.r.
Judge Meunier states that for the past
month his son has been very gloomy, and
has endeavored to shun every one in the
house, but has never made any complaint or
told his troubles to any member of the
family.
Last Monday his son bought pistol
without the knowledge of the family. That,
on the same day, his son had dozen
photographs taken, which he divided among
his friends, telling them when they looked
at that to remember him kindly. He kept
one Of the photographs, and, on yesterday
morning, when he went out from the house,
he gave his grandmother the picture and
said: Remember me when you see this
He ate a hearty breakfast, and did not seem
agitated in the slightest degree; but the
same cloud of gloom was on his countenance
that had been there for a month past. He
then went to the cOffee-hOuse of John Maris,
near the City Park, and drank a glass Of
milk.
Crossing over, he jumped the fence near
the gate and took the laudanum and put
ting the pistol to his breast, pulled the
trigger, but twice without effect. At the
third attempt the pistol went off, the ball
taking effect about one inch below the
heart, passing into the body a.d grazing
the main artery of the heart. At the report
of the pistol, Mr.. Pierson, who was in the
coffee-house opposite, raE to the gate of tn"
park saw him staggering, and ran towards
the unfortunate man, who stated that it
was accidental. But on being taken home
he told his father the truth Of the case, and
it is supposed he had committed the desper-
ate deed on account of having been thwart
ed in love.
Last night, at 10 o'clock, he was sinking
fast, and the attendant physicians thought
he would die before this morning from hem
orrhage. At that time he was unable t."
speak, and did not give evidence of any
pain, as he did not utter a groan. Mr..
Joseph Meunier was sober and quiet young
man, and up to abort month ago enjoyed
life and seemed in every sense of the WORD
a happy man. He owns the property i'll
which his father now resides, and was in
dulged in every wish of his heart. He re-
fused to give any cause for this rash act, but
simply said when asked, "Never mind
have my troubles" His father and family
are in deep attliction, as he was ever a
dutiful son and loving brother.

affair, left the city yesterday for British
