The various express companies, hav

that peremptory orders be issued to the

fastener to be kept in constant use at

and forbidding those men to allow any
persons strangers, or others not con-

STNgULAR SUICIDE.

a young girl named Durant recently
killed herself at Bristol, England, by
Jumping over the suspension bridge
there. The queerest part of the story
Is the way in which the girl jumped
over. She went upon the bridge, and
the to1l-taker, noticing her lettering
about, ordered her of to the other side.
Then she went down the hill to the
ferry, crossing it, climbed the zigzag at
the Clifton side-just below the bridge
and again presented herself at the Clif-
ton end of the bridge. She smiled TO
the tpll-taker, rendered penny and
passed on but the gate-keeper sus-
pected her and gave chase. The girl
had about 100 yards start Of her pur-
suer and ram as the man says, like q

We have heard of a Nashville man
swallowing crooked piece of wire, and
not been relieved of it until many years
had passed and gone, but that was not
half as singular as the case of negress
at Shellmound, who, nine months ago,
took into her stomach, as she AYERS,
without knowing it, ten pins tightly
wrapped in ball, composed of African
wool. The negress is the cook in the
house of MIR. Samuel Ingersoll. She
says at the time she provoked the emnity
of another negress, who in turn and
out of revenge resorted to a stratagem
to render her wretched the remaining
days of her well-spent life. They were
together one day not long after hot
dispute which had arisen between them,
when her enemy handed her, at her in
vitation, in a pint cup, some water,
which she drank down, having become
somewhat thirsty from the passion
which had been aroused in her by the
severe tongue-Iashing of her opponent.
Prom that time on until last Sunday
she had constantly felt an uneasiness
in the stomach, and often grew sick
from the I" charm" which she believed
her enemy had'given her in the water.
At times she seemed almost ready to go
into convulsions, when she would re-
cover from them and not be troubled
again for several days.
Last Sunday she was more violently
taken than ever, and was seized with
vomiting, emitting blood, and finally a
small piece of something having q re-
semblance to a hard wad. When il
was examined it was found that it was
composed of the wool of negress,
tightly wrapped around ten pins, which
were so bent, point to head, as to pre-
vent sticking in the flesh, and thereby
producing death from any irritation
that might ensue. It is supposed the
continuance of the wad in the stomach.
however, did produce more or less irri.
tation, and that the brass contained IL
the pins doubtless had the effect to pro.
duce temporary sickness.
Since she was relieved of the "charm,
which she still persists in calling it, she
has shown signs of decided improve
ment as regards her health.

SPELLING MATOH IN CLEHELAND.
The Clevelanders have had great
deal of fun recently out of spelling
matches. A reporter of the Herald
has stood the longest on two occasions.
Wednesday evening the reporter and
lady stood alone, all the rest over
thrown, when the lady missed isoscctes.
The falling of the reporter, who was
the last survivor, Is thus described by
himself:
"sNow,' said Mr.. James, have a
few words for you to tackle, as his
eyes gloated over some photographed
conglomerations that were mot even
printed in his blue book, but which
he had dug out of dictionaries and
medical works and with which he had
frescoed in pencil the margin of his
book. 'Colocynth,' exclaimed he, with
a triumphant spell-it-if-you-can air,
and if you want to know what it
means, it's a medicine for the babies.
The luckless chap scratched his pate for
moment, thinking the word was
enough to kill any baby in christendom.
to say nothing of the medicine, made
one wild effort to spell it-and then his
corpse was added to the pile of the
slain.
"Some of the b1unders in spelling
were of course laughable and excited
much merriment, though doubtless
many of those who laughed would them
selves have made even worse mistakes.
At one time MIR. James gave to the Her.
aid the word pronounced lock, giving
also the definition-a lake. sL-o-u-g-h
lock and there was a general-laugh
at the stupidity of spelling lock in
such an absurd way. The pencil singer
stood serenely confident, while the
spectators waited to hear Next from
the master of ceremonies. But when
the noise had abated and Mr.. James,
who was standing on a chair, said, with
wave of the hand, 'he is entirely COR

on his side and the room resounded
with applause.

It was predicted, late in 1870, after
Victor Emmanuel had established his
court and the government of Italy in
Rome, "t the Eternal City," that for
eign powers would not long continue to
have two embassies there-one Am
bassador to the King and the other to
the Pope. The difficulty arose from
the fact, scarcely to be wondered at or
condemned, that the Pope refused to
receive, as diplomatic representative
at the Vatican, any person also accred-
tied by q forei n power to the King of
Italy. OF the great powers only France
and Austria are now represented at the
Vatican. Engl md has not sent an
Ambassador to the Pope since the time
of James IL, nearly two centuries back.
dor since Plus TX. refused to accept
Cardinal Hohenlohe in that capacity.
The diplomatic relations between Russia
and the Vatican have been suspended
for some time, and those between the
Pope and Spain have ceased since the
dethronement and expulsion of Queen
Isabella III. in 1868. In February,
1872, the Parliament of Holland abol-
ished its Papal legation, though 4Papal
nuncio still remains at the Hague.
Belgium, Bavaria, Holland, Brazil and
the South American Republics are still
represented at the Vatican. The trouble
is that the Ministers of this country
have nothing to do in the Leonine city
except with regard to the religious in
terests of their states, whose political
relations with Italy are properly looked
after by Ambassadors accredited to
King Victor Emmanuel.

The friends of peace and arbitration,
will be rather disheaftened when they
hear that contract has been offered to-
an American firm for the manufacture
of 3,50O,00O pounds of saltpeter-a.
transaction which certainly smells more.
of gunpowder than of peace. It is not.
certain that the order has actually been
given, but there can be no doubt that.
one of the great European powers has
been inquiring in New York whether

merely another of Prince Bismarck's,

Europe, or whether it 10 France, or per-;
haps Russia, that is making ready for

stock of gunpowder England msy have

AMERICA TIE TOMB OF RACES.

DIR. Edward H. Clarke, author of
"Sex in Education" brought forward
at the Detroit meeting of the National
Building of Brain" in which he
laid down the problem of life which the
American nation confronts, as follows !:
No race of human kind has yet OBJ
tanned footing upon this continent.
The Asiatics trace back their life in
Asia SO far that the distance between
to-day and their recorded starting point
seems Like a geologic epoch. The
descendants of the Ptolemies still
linger about the Nile. The race that
peopled northern Europe when Greece
and Rome were young, not only retains
its ancient place and power, but makes
itself felt and heard throughout the
world. On this continent races have
been born, and lived, and disappeared.
Mounds at the West, vestiges in Flori-
da, and traces elsewhere proclaim at
least two extinct races. The cause Of
their disappearance remains undiscov-
cred. We only know that they are
gone. The Indian whom our ancestors
confronted was losing his hold on the
continent when the Mayhower anchored
in Plymouth Bay, and is now rapidly
disappearing also. It remains to be
seen if the Anglo-Saxon race that has
ventured upon continent that has
proved the tomb of antecedent races,
can be more fortunate than they in
maintaining a permanent grasp upon
this Western world. One thing at least
is sure-it will fail as previous races
have failed, unless it can produce a
physique and brain capable of meet
ing successfully the demands which our
climate and civilization make upon it.

HOW HOLIDAYS ARE KEPT UP IN
BELGIUM.

BELGIUM.
The great holidays in the Low Coun-
tries are kept up with noisy and, to our
eyes, rude merriment. In the olden
time, the staid New Englanders, who
forbade Christmas celebration under
severe penalty, and, as Hudibras hath
it, " blasphemed custard through the
nose, and even went SO far as to dis
parege that bestand dearest friend, plum
porridge," looked with holy horror at
what they deemed the utter godlessness
of New Netherland. But even the au-
thorities of the Dutch colony after a
time thought that some limits were to
be set to this wild merrymaking, and
the earliest city laws contain enact
ments against some of the favorite
amusements, such as the cruel sport of
goose-pulling and, if we mistake not,
pail-tipping also fell under the ban.
Some of the Flemish sports at Ter
wooren, in Belgium, are peculiar, as,
from sense of woman's rights, or be-
cause it is mere ludicrous to see women
SO engaged, the actors are almost en-
tirely of the fair and now self-asserting
sex.
Our boys in army times got much
sport out of races in sacks.
Another sport is q kind of blind
mans buff, in which the women, one by
one, blindfolded, try to strike with a
pole an egg suspended from cord,
which is kept swinging, and drum
beating to prevent her hearing too
keenly. The occasional cracks which
over eager spectators get while en-
deavoring to obtain close view do not
in the least detract from the merriment.
In fact, as we always, more or less,
enjoy the misfortunes of our friends and
neighbors, it is only due to the truth OF
history to record the fact that these
mishaps draw forth hearty laughter and
shouts of applause.
Anothersport is to range a.number OF
women on platform, with their hands
tied behind their backs, while mum.
Der of small loaves, well covered with
molasses, are kept dangling before
them. A prize is given to the woman
who first contrives to get hold of one
with her mouth.
