honorable support is surrounded with
greater difficulties they ottener become
victims to the suicide mania than men.
The reckless extravaganza of living
deemed requisite to occupy social posi-.
tons Of responsibility, and to live beyond
ones real and ostensible means, as it leads
to financial endorsements, is, with the
proud and ambitious, a potent stimulant
for the suicide, who, too weak to bear dis.
appointment, flies to self.destruction for
relief and oblivion.
While nothing can be more pitiable
than mental state of such intense despair
and hopelessness that it seeks death as its
only remedy, the sympathy which COM
munity feels for the unhappy victims of
such a condition ought not to mislead
public opinion to an under-estimation of
the great weakness of character which inn
pels the suicide. While advanced civili
cation makes self.destruction no longer
dishonorable, and it Is not held in the
light OF cardinal sin, and the old Gus
toms whereby various brutalities of burial
were practiccd have become obsolete, still
it is the duty of the press and all those
who have power of molding public opin-
ion to point out the real weakness which
causes suicide and show that those who
patiently take up the burden of life and
bear it with good sense and philosophy
are really the true heroes and heroines of
the world. Toledo Blade.

A SONG OF THE EARLY AUTUMN

When in late summer the streams run yellow,
Burst the bridges and spread into bays;
When berries are black and peaches are mel
low,
And hills are hidden by rainy haze;
When the golden-rod is golden still,
But the heart Of the suntlower is browner
and sadder;
When the corn is in stacks on the slope Of the
hill,
And over the path slides the striped adder;
When butterflies flutter from clover to thicket,
Or wave their wings on the dropping leaf;
When the breeze comes shrill with the call of
the cricket
Grasshopper's rasp, and rustic of sheaf;
When high in the field the fern leaves wrin-
kle,
And brown is the grass where the mowers
have mown;
When low in tue meadow the COW bells tin
kle,
And brooklets crinkie DER stock and stone;
When heavy and hollow the robins whistle,
and thick lies the shade in the heat of
noon;
When the air is white with the down O the
thistle,
And the sky is red with the harvest moon:
Oh! then be chary, young Robert and Mary:
Let no time slip-nota moment wait!
If the fiddle would play it must stop its
tuning,
And they who would marry must be done
with their incoming;
Mind well the cattle let the churn go rattle,
And pile the wood by the barn-yard gate!
--ScriJner for October.

The Suicide Mania.

From the memoranda of the large num-
Der of suicides which have been com
mitted within the past two months il
would seem that perfect suicide mania,
almost equaing an epidemic, is passing
over the country, old and young, rich
and poor, alike becoming its victims.
Various causes are assigned by sociologi-
cal philosophers tor the mental condition
which superinduces suicide, and it is
questioned whether one who is in the full
possession of the mental faculties can or
ever did succumb to it.
To those who are in their right minds it
does not seem possible, and for this reason,
if for no other, the probabilities OF the ar
gument are on the side Of those who con
tend that no person, unless afflicted with
insanity, either spasmodic or as disease,
can commit suicide.
BE this as it may, however, contcm-
porary, with much show OF reason, as
signs two causes as the chief ones which
lead to self-destruction, viz. Domestic
troubles and financial embarrassments.
To one who has read the long line OF
suicides which have occurred recently
these causes are certainly the most prom
inent ones, and a remedy could easily be
found could society be organized upon "a
more healthful basis Marriages are too
often recklessly entered upon without Sc
riodsly counting their cost or the mutual
bligations they impose. and after brief
period of time, when the glamour of TO
nance has all passed away, and sober re-
ality takes its place, the full measure of
the mistakes made is realized, and II fol-
lows that either two minated mates must
fight out peaceless battle ofllfe, or resort
to the divorce courts, desertion, mutual
separation or suicide. Women, through
their dependence and poverty, are gen
orally the greater sufferers if mated with
brutal or reckless men, and as to :hem

A Story for Bergh.

CoNDUCTAH,n simpered a lady on an
outgoing Eastern train last evening, will
yeou I've so keind as to bwing me gleass
of watah?"
The polite conductor thereupon marched
to the watertank, detached the German
silver mug from its long, clanking chain,
and, returning with it filled to the brim,
obsequiously protiered it to the fair tray
eler.
She took it with a smile; she bowed
and stuck it under the nose of a musty-
looking poodle dog on her lap, who
quietly Tapped up the liquid refreshment.
When the conductor received that cup
again 1t was noticed that he softly SHE'D
it out of the nearest open window. But,
though done softly, you could see by the
way he set his teeth together, that he
wished Il was the dog-or the woman

Not Pretty but Good.

The following story is told of the Ouch
ess de Berri; She was extremely fond of
Dieppe, and passed great deal of her
time there in summer; indeed, ii is said
that the town owes to her fostcring patron
age the establishment of the workshops
for the production Of those exquisite ivory
carvings which are well known to every
stranger that ever tarricd at Dieppe One
summer evening fisherman met plainly
dressed lady walking alone on the beach
lie ventured 10 accost her, saying that he
had petition which he wished 10 present
to the Duchess de Berri, but that he did
not know how 10 proceed in order TO do
so. Did you ever see the Duchess ~
asked the lady No" was the answer,
but am told that she is dcuccd ugly"
"Gvc me the petition, at all events"
said his questioner, and it shall be
placed in the hands of the Princess her
self" The fisherman complied with the
request and few days !ster he was sum
moned to the villa of the Duchess What
was ms dismay, on being introduced 10
the presence Of the Princess to find that
she was the person to whom he had given
his petition. He commenced to stalnmer
forth some incohcrent excuse, but Marie
Caroline interrupted him. Your pe;i-

IT was an accidental discovery by Good

important to the industrial interests Of the

They Claim a RePresentatIOn I'm the
Constitutional Convention.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. ga mass meeting of
/ ladies was held tonight at the Mercantile
Library building, TO consider the question
of sending delegation to demand seats in
/ the State Constitutional Convention, to
meet at Jefferson City in May. Mrs.
/ Francis Miner, one of the Oldest mem-
bers of the Women's Suffrage Society Of this
city, presided and made speech, in which
/ she cited many instances of injustice of laws
affecting women; claimed that the question
of framing the organic law had been re-
feTTed by the Constitution itself back to
the people and not to the voters merely,
but to the entire people; the women as
well as men have right to take part in the
proceedings; the progress Of the age having
abolished all legal distinction between
man and man, the same course must be
pursued with respect to women; that no
class of people can be free whose freedom
is not guarded by control Of guarantees;
on these and other grounds it was claimed
that women have right to participate in
framing the laws Of the State, and there
fore entitled to seats in the Constitutional
Convention.
Others spoke, some ministers among the
number taking similar grounds.
Delegates were chosen and a committee
appointed to issue an address to thewOmen
of Missouri, urging them to take similar
action in various Senatorial districts Of the
State, and send delegates TO the conven-
tiOn. The a-tion this meeting would be
the first time the women of this country
have met in mass meeting and sent dele
gates to the Constitutional Convention to
demand seats therein.

sENATOR ANDREW IOHNaON

After a pretracted struggle, extend
ing through an entire week, ex-Pres-
ident Andrew johnson was yesterday
chosen tosucceed William g. Brownlow
In the United States Senate, from the 4th
of March rext. The ffty-hfth and final
ballot stood: johnson, 81; Stephens,
.; Henry, IL; Ewing, 6; scattering,
3. Of the two absentees, Mr.. Gallo
way had been voting for Mr. johnson.
Senator Wade, we believe, did not vote
on the last ballot. The politi-
cal classification Of the General
Assembly is-92 Democrats and
s Republicans. Mr.. Johnson's
strength was composed Of the united
Republican element and A Democrats.
1t thus appears that he was supported
including Mr.. Galloway-by As Dem
Ocrats, or only one less than half the
total number In both houses.
We find a good deal Of signif-
canee In these figures, because it
has been charged that Mr.. johnson is
not a Democrat, and the UNION AND
AMERICAN does not propose 70 sup
port for Office any man whom it does
not know TO De sound in
that political faith. Emphati-
cally as we condemned his course
IN 1872, We have never been brought to
believe that his purpose was to 90 be-
yOBd the pale Of the marty. As we
supported him for the Senate IN 1869,
on the ground that he could be Of most
service to Tennessee there, so, now that
another Democratic Legislature-ad-
mitted to be thoroughly representative
Of the people-has fixed spon him for
the Senatorial succession, we see no
reason why his great talents and ex-
perience should not be made available.
The time is eminently propitioUs to
such change IN our representation at
Washington, and Mr.. Johnson will
take his seat in the Senate IN
der circumstances that viii call
for all the resources -o of broad,
comprehensive craftsmanship. If
he should meet the confident
anticipations Of those who have fol-
lowed his political fortunes with such
answering devotion since the war,
the sO-called breach in the Democratic
party viii be speedily healed. We hope
for the best.

Ex.GOy. Wells Before the Congress
Committee.
NEW ORLEANS Jan. 26.-EX-GOv.
Wells was before the Congressional Com
mittee today, and testified as to the action
Of the Returning Board. There are about
seventy fOolscap pages Of his statement.
He explained his lot appearing before the
subcommittee, that he was not subpGnaed.
He had no notice whatever about the COM
mIttee being here, except through the
newspapers, and did not think
they would leave so soon. He
intended going to Washington, but heard
another committee was coming, so he did
not 90. Wells testified as follows: All the
polls in Rapides were thrown out on my
evidence. We had no other. ! made my
affidavit On the l4th Of December. 1 fled
these statements.
Mr.. Hoar asked if counsel had access 70
that affidavit before filing their briefs?
Gov. Wells said he thought they did.
Mr.. Hoar-Was it filed before going into
secret session?
Gov. Wells-Just before. Counsel would
have had time to examine that affidavit if
he had renamed long enough; could have
had tim If he had wished. There was no
protest by election officers in Rapldes, be-
cause it was worth a mans life to DO so.
n. Marshall asked if Gov. Wells had
been assaulted in Rapides.
Gov. Wells-I was not assaulted, but my
life was threatened.
