SUIcIDE.-On Thursday morning last, just after
day break, u fisherman who was padding his canoe
along the entrance TO the harbor, discovered Oh
jeci floating near the first buoy, in shallow water,
and approaching it be found it was the body. OF
S white man. he dreR II up into the canoe, and.
Ms the body OF Mr.. George W. Wealher0ie, tin
smith, who has resided in this country for about
sixteen years. 1t Was aseertained that there was
bullet wound in his right temple, and as his cane
was found on board the steam-tug Pele, which WAS
lying at the lower end of the Esplanade it
supposed that the fatal act had been committed on
her deck. Acting under this assumption, Marshal
Parke caused natives dive and search the bottom
in the vicinity Of the Pele and a pistol was soon
brought up--a small nickle plated one-barrel
pocket derriuger The deceased was seen by several
persons about one O'Clock in tue morning, and it
Is supposed that shortly after that hour he shot
himself while seated on the rail- OF the Pele For
many years he has been constant sufferer from
asthma, and it was undoubtedly the misery he bad
endured so long, and from which there could be
no relief expected in this life which prompted him
to apply so heroic remedy. A coroner's inquest
was held by the Marshal at l O'Clock p. m, and a
verdict was rendered the effect that the deceased
came TO his death by his own premeditated act.
His funeral took place at four p. IN. Mr.. Weather
bis was a native o Joliet Illinois, and As years
of age.

cards similar to the one they were play

Papal Nuneio In Paris had, after the
l6tn of May, atvocated and brought
ABOUT the triumph Of o policy favorabIe
TO Marshal de MsoMahon. Hefio1s ns-
EQUATIONS took place, and 1t was agreed
tnat the Catholics should endeavor to-
OBTAIN. the. election OF Conservative
deputies Without regard to the party
to winch they mighs belong. Instruc-
lions "a that sense were to be subse-
qaentiy communicated to all the bish-
| ops OF the clergy.
The Legitimists did not look favorably
on the .doiDgs OF the Arehbishon Of
Paris, who appeared to be more dey6tsd
to the Marshal than to the party. and
com mplalned TO. the Papal Nuneio, Mgr.
Meglia. Rhe latter, between whom and
Mgr. Guibert there is no great symua-
thy, sided with the maleontsnts. To
prevent the division assuming any
great proportions, the Cardinal Arch

IN consequence OF his solicitations, the
vatican consented to invite the clergy
TO support The candidates OF the govern

follow line OF conduct favorable to-
the interests of the Holy See.
The Legitiaists and the Bonapartists
suspected the results OF Cardinal Gui-
Derts mission, and appealed TO the Vat

held firm and confined himself To
preaching concord among the rival Con
servative parties. The Bonapartists
then declared that they could not lose
the opportunity Of manifssting them
selves and preparing for 1880. That at
Lltude OF the Imperialists alarmed the
Leglt1mists, who induced Count de
Ohambord to write to the Pope to re-
quest him to say o word In their favor

than In not knowing that bachelors have no
battles to fight at home. never before saw

peace and reconciliation and that you desire

The department Is advised that there have
been large orders sent out from Boston. New
York and Baltimore for the sugar now under
the ban OF the government. There Is now in
New York In bond large quantity, and be-

TION.
In. Y. Tribune. ]

Gen. LIE Due. the Commissioner of
Agricultural Affairs, has for some time
been engaged in the consideration of
Important matters affecting the sugar
interests Of the United States. He
believes that there can be saving Of
more than sixty millions of dollars O.
year to this country by the production
OF the sugar at home that is now
imported from abroad. The Commits
sioner is in correspondence with sugar
planters and others in the South and
Southwest, and has also received infor-
nation from the growers OF sugar beet.
There is q general agreement among
planters ana others TO the effect that
there can be much heavier produc-
ton Of sugar in this country than there
Is at present, and oil who have commu-
Dicated with the Commissioner on the
subject avow their earnest anxiety to
give him all the benefit Of their experf-
enee on this subject, and assist him i'm
his efforts wherever they can.

THE OTHER WORLD.

When a man is put into the grave and
mankind leave him, he hears the noise
they make in walking away. Then two
| angels come to the dead man, black in
color, bu5 having blue eyes. The name
of one is Monkir, and Of the other Nakir.
They cause the dead man to sit up in his
grave, and say to him: What was your
opinion about Mohammed ?" Then the
person, il he be a Moslem, will say, Il
believe in Mohammed." Then will he
be struck with an iron hammer; and he
will roar out SO as to be heard by all an
imals, except men and genii. Then the
ground will be ordered to close upon
him and break his side; and turn his
right side to left, and his left to his
right. Also for the grave of each un-
believer, there are appointed ninety ser
pents to bite him to the day Of resurrec-
tion, any one of which being upon
earth would blast it. The day of
resurrection is preceded by the coming
OF Antichrst. Antichristi is blind OF one
eye, and has great deal of hair falling
about his face; and he brings with him
the resem planees Of paradise and hell.
But that which seems like paradise is ia
truth, hell fire and that which he shall
say is hell Is, in fact, paradise. He will
come out Of a road between Syria and
Irak, and will move over the earth
swiftly like rain followed by wind"
For such tribes as believe on him, Anti
christ will order the earth, and it will
produce verdure; and in the evening
their cattle will come to them with
higher humps upon their backs than
they went out with in the morning; and
their udders will be full. But as for
those tribes who do not believe in Anti
christ their lands will be stricken with
desolation. and they will be afflicted
with drouth and famine.
