TIE MARKsMEN.
Once more the Americans have beaten
the Irish, and the Yankee Team may
safely claim to be the best in the world.
They have met Teams from almost
every country that pays any attention
TO Rifle Shooting, and have never vet
been beaten The Irish have crowded
tIiem the closest, but they have manag-
ed to get away with them, every time,
and probably always will. The effect
of these matches is being felt all over
the country Rifle clubs are being
organized everywhere, and probably
this sport will have as extensive q run
| as Baseball. One point iii the game is
the superiority of American arms.
Our Rifles are better adapted to long
range shooting than any made abroad
This tie Irish acknowledge, although
their crack-shot, Righy, is manufac-
| turer himself Think of hitting the
bulI's-eye fourteen times in succession
at 1850 yards This is what the men
are doing.
! SUICIDE.
A most pitiful case of sclEdestructlon
came to light yesterday. A widow
lady had 500, 900 in stocks in the coal
roads OF Pennsylvania, which have been
| considered the safest in the world. She
| purchased lot of real estate In the city,
| expecting that her dividends would pay
| interest on the Indebtedness she assunl-
| ed, and expecting to sell stocks, as the
| payment became due to meet them.
| The real estate deprecated in va lue two
years ago, so that it would not sell for
more than half the mortgage, her
stocks shrunk almost half and her
dividends shrunk to nothing. When
her notes came due, the holder pushed
ber, and i'll short, IN consequence of the
unfortunate purchase, she found that
she would be left absolutely penniless
Everything that she had in the world
would be taken from her, and she, at
the age of sixty, accustomed to an easy,
pleasant life, with nothing to depend
upon, would be thrown out upon the
world helpless. She had no friends to
depend upon and nothing but the aims
house was before her. She went to her
room, put upon her table the deeds
which had ruined her, her certificates of
stock, on which no dividends had been
paid, and all her other worthless securi-
ties, and fastening cord to hook in
the wall, hung herself. She was found
dead tile next day. She left no letter
the only explanation was tile pile OF
worthless securities, but they told the
story we'll enough. And now comes
the curious part of it. The day her
body was discovered, there came to her
address notification that an estate III
Scotland, which had been in litigation
for years, aud of which she had given
up hopes years ago, had been settled,
and that she was entitled to 100000
which she could have upon receipt of
power of attorney, to draw it! Had
she only waited two days! When |
make up my mind to commit suicide
shall always wait two days.
