STRANGE TRAGEDY.-A strange attempt r.
murder was committed in Washington on the
18th. Two men both ex-generals OF the United
States army and who served together in the
Mexican and ether wars, Anthony A. Sutton
and Samuel Ross entered into partnership
some time since for the purpose Of carrying OF
billiard rooms in the west wing OF the Metro
politan Hotel. For several weeks they
had carpenters and plasterers at work. and
the rooms have been almost com,i ted for oc-
cupation.
About o'clock that afternoon Gen Satton
was noticed by the workmen era wiling down
the stairs into the rooms being fixed up, liter
ally covered with blood. He asked for water
which was given him. In little while he
partly revived, and in the presence of the Dis
trct attorney and several police officers, who
in the meantime had been called in, made
statement duplicating Gen. Ross as the one
who had attempted to take his life. He said
that he (Suton) had put 50, 600 into the pait-.
nershp, and had general charge of the i'm.
provements: that about 3o'cIock that afternoon
Gen. Ross asked him to 60 into one Of the up
per rooms OF the hotel to examine it: that he
went up there, and while making some calcua-
tlons on paper, Ross struck him OH the back OF
the head with large hammer which until
then, he had concealed about his clothing;
that he remembers being struck one other
blow, and that all after that is blank until
he was handed glass of water at 5 o'clock.
Gen. Ross was arrested at his hotel wherr
he was discovered changing his clothes. A
handkerchief found on his person and some
letters were bloodstaned.
General Sutton was taken to the hospital ant
it is believed will recover Ross has been pro-
nounced insane and taken to the Asylum,

The Soldiers Grave.
What hast thou been, who sleepest here,
Beneath this lonely mound?
The silent trees no answer breathes,
The grave gives back no sound.
A soldier yes, this much We know,
All else's mystery
Save that some foes unerring aim,
Hath set thy spirit FREQ.
Perhaps mother sad, and lone.
Is sorrowing yet for thee,
And fam would hope, amid her tears,
Thy face again to sec.
A wife may be- whose trusting love,
In youths sweet spring time given;
That made thy home paradise,
sweet foretaste OF Heaven.
Some little one thou'st fondly loved.
That climbered Ser thy knee.
How oft has asked will Father dear
Come back no more to me?'
Alas those friends, thy mournful fate,
May never, never know;
While Jet they linger in this vale.
VI SOFTOW uefc De1OW
Oh! cruel war! how many homes,
How many hearts thou'st riven2
Such agony, such bitter woe.
Nothing can heal but Heaven.
These winter winds wall round thy grave,
A sad wild requiem,
Soon flowers will bloom and summer BIRDS
Will chant gladder hymn.
All seasons pass alike to thee,
In their successive round,
Thoult wake no more to Joy or grief,
Till the last trump shall sound.
We leave thee to thy quiet rest,
A long and dreamless one;
With grand old tire as, like ssntinels.
To guard thy narrow homs.

i'll early spring, iii manfred drills, very tlinly,
thinning the shoots out, il too thick, to about
two inches apart. The drills should be abou,
three feet apart or, if preferred, can be at a
greater distance, aud beans or some other crop.
can be raised between the rows. The plant,
will be fit for transplanting the following
spring, though some prefer two-year old plants.
This can be done in rows three feet apart. or IN
beds two feet apart in the row, leaving widei.
space on the outside of every fourth row. !

SUICIDE OF A ScORPIoN.-Mr Bidie commu-
nicafes TO Nature a fact which proves the cor
rectness of the story that the scorpion will
sting itself to death when surrounded by fire.
His servant brought him one morning very
large specimen of the common black scorpion
of Southern India. To keep it safe it was
placed in glass chronological case, and afer
a few hours, to obtain better view of the in
sect, the case was carried to the window: me
Iight and heat of the sun seemed to irritate it
very much, and when the rays were focused
on its back by means of a small lens, it exhio-
tied great agitation. running about, hissin 9
and shifting. This experiment was tried four
ar {; We times with the same result; bnt nnaily,
when the lens was used, the scorpion turned
up its tail and "quick as lightning" plunged
tba sting into it's wn back. The stroke vas
fniIowed by a sudden escape of fluid, and in 6
moment the creature was dead. This occur
renee shows that animals may commit suicide
and that the poison of some animals ma! o'
| destructive to themselves.
