THE FATAL BALL.

This morning, at half past O'Clock,
Lucien Augustine, aged fifty years. and
a cigarmaker by occupation. committed
suicide in the rear Of his premises, No.
1913 Washington avenue, by shooting
himself in the head, on the right side.
just above the ear. with u Smith & Wes-
son revolver. A DEMOCRAT reporter
visited the scene, and CLEANED the fol
lowing particulars; At 6 o'clock Mr.
Augustine arose as usual, and after
dressing himself, kissed ono Of
his little daughters, and remarked
he was going out, and. after
walking TO the corner, returned
and went into the back yard. Suddenly
the report OF pistol was heard, and his
wife, running in the direction from
whence the shot was heard, found her
husband lying on the ground. and saw
blood flowing In copiOus stream from
a wound in the right side Of the head.
The unfortunate creature was removed
to the house and attended by DIR. Schu-
macher, who pronounced the wound
mortal. When our reporter left tho
scene at II o'clock Augustine was sink
ing, and before this report reaches the
reader he will likely be travelling the
valley OF the shadow Of the dead.
There Is no cause assigned for the
rash act as Mr.. Augustine was doing a
good business, in affiuent circumstAn-
ces and man that never drank. He
leaves q wife and seven children to
mourn his loss.

Thought Of Mr.. Gibson's NH.
New York World)
The bill introduced by Mr.. Gibson. OF
Louisiana, into the House, looking to d
reciprocity treaty with Mexico, may
strike the inconsiderate as inopportune,
in view Of the political confusion at
tending the present Presidential canvass
in Mexico. But those who best know
the condition Of Mexico are most sure
that this confusion will ere long result
In order again; and there can be no
question that the establishment OF
friendly commercial relations with Mex
leo Is OF the gravest importance not
only to Louisiana but to the whole
country
Mexico is one OF the very richest coun.
tries upon the globe in natural re-
sources-in minerals, forest products
and the fertility and versatility OF It's
soil. It has been estimated that it Is
easily capable OF supporting o popula
ton as dense as that Of China, which, In
the eastern portions, Is supposed TO ex-
ceed 300 to the square mile. Yet the
actual population Of Mexico is only
9,275 600 in superficies OF 725. 900 square
miles, or less than Is to the square mile,
and it would be infinitely more prosper.
Gus were Its population ten times as
dense. The State OF Tamaulipas, which
borders on Southern Texas, has only
lao, 900 people, or less than to the mile,
while In Sonora there are under 2 per-
sons to the mile. In Vera Cruz there
are about 25 to the mile; in Yucatan Is,
in Guanajuato 70, in Hidalgo so, and In
Tlascala go Mexico is waking up to the
necessity OF encouraging immigration,
and q book 10 just now going through
the Mexican Government press, from the
pen OF Don Manuel Azpiroz, In which
the Mexican laws relating to immigra-
tion are explained, and the attractions
and inducements to settlers fully set
forth.
Give Mexico peace, more population
and OF class appreciating the necessity
for good roads, and the development OF
the Republic will be surprisingly rapid.
Nothing will more effectually accelerate
that development than a we'll consid-
cred treaty OF commercial reciprocity
with this country.

Senator Thurman was yesterday re-
warded for his zeal In preserving tha
organization OF the Democratic party In
Ohio and for insisting upon the resur.
rection Of William Allen. That which
is most surprising In that Thurman's
friends could have accom- plished 90
much. They actually carried q majority
OF the delegates to yesterday 3 o0nven-
ton. They have elected delegates 10 the
National Convention from > majority
Of the Congressional Districts of the
State. But there was fatal flaw In their
position, and there tho Allen rnsr.
breaking through, took thefn BY storm.
The trouble with Thurman 10 that be
did not begin the fighting soon enough.
He should not have yielded TO the green
back assault when It was first made. If
bis friends had rallied In 1876 AZ Ia 1866
they could have prevented the prepos-
ferrous platform OF june last. The ad-
vantage that the Allenites had was that
OF simply demanding the reafIlrmstion
OF tho principles Of their declaration OF
1875; It was an irresistible cry that tho
the tremendous battle of last year should
not be rejected. Thurman'a platform
that reported by the majority Of the
Committee on Resolutions---is an alb.
surd document. Successful war II not
made by evasions. The majority plat
form was weakness to tn friends, and
therefore not In the least q terror TO its
enemies. Returning to specie payments
when nobody will object. and Opposi.
ton to all practical measures, II an alb
ject fooling with the main question,
and II this is the sort OF platform the
Eastern Democrats are preparing to
present to the st. Louis Convention

Cured near the railroad bridge last
evening by which two colored children
were brought to IN untimely death.
Three children named Henry, John and
Sylvia Taylor, whose parents reside on
the left bank OF Bayou Lafourche q
short distance below town, stopped at
the bank on the bayou on their way
home from school to get a drink. As
John was leaning over to reach the
water he lost his balance and fell into
the bayou. As he felt himself going he
grasped his sister, who was just beside
him, and the two went into the water
together They floated but short dis
tance and both disappeared, carried
under by the rapid and relentless cur
rent. Diligent search was made for the
bodies, but up to dark last evening no

The FL Paso stage was robbed by
three highwaymen on the Nth. Four
passengers gave up their money, etc.
Two hacks from Fort Worth, full OF
passengers, were successfully robbed as
they came up on the same spot. Still
another hack coming up, it was ordered
to halt, but fed, and was fired into and
returned the fire, but nobody was hurt.
The passengers and mails, etc, OF the
hacks and stage were deliberately
cleaned out and then the robbers took
the best horses in sight and fled. This
was fifteen miles west OF Dallas in open
prairie. One passenger lost $4,000, and
$1,000 was the sum total OF the booty.
