MEMPHIS, Nov. 24.-Last evening, some
ladies found the dead body Of an aged man,
in ElmwOod, with his throat cut. Investi-
CATION showed that the deceased had COM
mitted suicide by seyering the jugular vein

the elevator after night to take passage Oh
a steamer for OsceOla, and had large sum
Of money with him. As he had left some
$1,000 with his father on coming here, and

Great Destruction of Standing

NEW YORK, Nov. PA hurricane
passed over Trenton last evening, causing
damage in that city to the amount of fifty
thousand dollars, and in the country north
of Trenton forty or fifty thousand more.
So far as known in Trenton, Morton's row
of six houses on Warren street, Kline's
Hall, the Washington market, Golding's
flint mill, Fish & Green's saw mill. Hutch
inson's bow factory, Waison's foundry and
portion Of the Catholic parsonage were

through. This never happened before in
the Welland Canal. The water has risen
six or seven feet. The storm of last night
was one of the most severe ever experienced
here. The water dashed over the piers
with such force, that it was impossible to
see the Lighthouses, and the keeper found
II impossible to get out to light the lamps.
Much damage was done to shipping and to
buildings i'll the course of erection.

reasons upon which the injunction was

SCIENTIFIC investigations have re-
Gently been co-ordinated in Paris for the
purpose of a single experiment, and
that, too, with very interesting results.
A balloon was constructed to test the
effect of proper supply of oxygen upon
the human system at great hight. To
secure the desired altitude without in
convenience, the airship was kept in
readiness for a moment when the atmOs-
phere was in perfect repose. The storm
signal-pOsts Of Europe were on the alert
for such an occasion, and when they
unanimously predicted a calm of some
duration, the vessel was freed from her
moorings and rose perpendieularly over
the city. The car was furnished with an
apparatus for generating oxygen, and
this was freely used at hight of twenty
four thousand six hundred feet. The
spectroscope at this point indicated the
presence of no aqueous vapor, and the
solar rays were nearly invisible. The
point of interest was the discovery that
the blackness of the sky at great alti-
tudes was not actual but apparent.
When not using the oxygen-respirator,
the sky appeared a. black as a pail.
When freely respiring oxygen, the blue
color was restored. This discovery will
probably be made the foundation of
many practical results of great benefit
in sanitary point of view.
