A RemarkabIe Suicide.

NJ. Ernst, an old French dancing
master in Cincinnati, Jcommitted sui
eide recently by shooting himself
through the heart. A few months ago
he deserted his wife, leaving her pen
niless, to die in hospital, while he made
pleasure trip to Paris. Returning to
Cincinnati on Saturday morning. he
found that his former friends refused
to recognize him; whereupon, after
breakfasting restaurant, he proceeded
to the hospital in which his wife had died
secured room under pretense of be-
ing i'll, and, the next morning, was
found dead by his own hand. The
Commercial, in its account of the af-
fair, states that his breakfast was a
remarkable" one: :" First, he ate 8
dozen oysters; next, big chunk OF
broiled salmon, taking pint of cIaret
with it; next, mutton. chop or two.
with coffee; next, aporterhouse steak,
which, the stewart states, he ate to the
bone all around; last of all, some ice
cream" The question arises, did he
commit suicide because his old ac.
quaintances turned the cold shoulder
to him; or because he was apprehensive
that his digestive faculties would prove
inadequate to the proper disposition Of
that 's remarkable" breakfast /?

Prevention Better Than Cure.

A herd of deer. from want ofhabitual

an inherent vicious propensity born
with a colt, by beginning familiarIy
early with him it would in most cases
be eradicated; ii not, it would to GER

general thing, however, we let him
contract bad habits, and then trust to
the breaker to get rid of them. We

horses. Treat them properly from the

would be cruel to damp the youthful
travellers hope by telling him, what he
will after find, that the soft and balmy
morning of his setting out is but too
often the prelude of the coming storm.
Thus horses, we fear, have generally
reason enough to dread man in their pro-
gress through life; but there can be no
reason to teach or allow them to dread
us from their birth, this dread to be
further increased by the general usage
of them. It may be said that, however
wild the colt may be, work will tame him,
and If he gets vicious or troublesome pro-
pensities, punishment and consequent
fear may prevent his practicing them.

sIanuring Fruit Trees.


While orchard trees are young. and
crops cultivated between them, they get
along tolerably well. Garden or farm
crops cannot be grown without manure.
Everybody knows this. Thev are
manured, and the trees steal some of it.
But the time comes when thetrees meet
their branches, and crops cannot be
grown to advantage any more, and then
all manure for the fruit trees stops for
ever. They generally go back after
this The leaves get yellow, the fruit
poor and knotty, and much falls off in a
dry time.
Just here comes in another idea.
Everybody wants or oughtto want good
roads. One of the best ways to keer
to keep roads good is to keep bitches
open and clean. This lets off the water
easily; it is water on roads that spoils

food for trees. IF it will pay to keer
the road dry, it will doubly pay wher

Line of Steamers Between Baltimore
and Marseilles, France.

Ohio liailroad will soon establish line
of steamers between Baltimore and
France. Marseilles has been chosen as
the European terminus. The choice of
this port has been determined mainly
by tine prospect of obtaining freight
and emigrants. Immigration from
Italy to this country Is increasing, 1t is
said, more rapidly than from any other
OF the European countries, and that the
greater portion of the Italians of the
Mediterranean, in the neighborhood of
Leghorn and Genoa, would naturally
embark at Marseilles. That city is also
the port where the produce from the
east centres, and, owing to its close
proximity to Spain and Italy, has many
commercial advantages. President
Garrett has very carefully examined
Havre, Brest, and other European sea-
ports, and has decided that NIacaeilles
shall be the terminus OF the new line
from Baltimore. He is fully assured of
the practicabiity of establishinga a pay
ing line between these ports. This Will
give Chicago another European outlet.
The competition of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad to Chicago has given a
new impetus to the commerce of Balti-
more. This is especially noticeable IN
the expectation of grain to Europe,
which for the remainder of the season
is expected to give employment to all
the vessels which will arrive and are
adopted to the trade The arrival from
foreign ports at Baltimore in a month
were fifty eight, an increase of twelve
over the same month of last year. The
number of vessels which cleared for

A Fish Fight.

Fish fights may become fashionable,

for culture many varieties of Chinese
and Japan fish, have secured some of
the fighting sort from Aunam. In that
country fish matches are arranged as
follows: They select two combatants
of dark color and put them into SEN
arate glass bottles, which they then
place close together. The fish inmedi-
ately begin to watch each other: their
hues change; they become black, the
tail and fins become phosphorescent,
and the eyes sparkle with peculiar

Some children are more prone to show
