James SPEEDING, the Liographer of
Bacon-who was an artache OF the En-
glish Embassy at Washington under
Lord AshburtOn-say that during the
high party excitements of these times
he observed enough to establish his
faith that the solid sense of the Ameri-
can people would never fail in any
emergency they should have to
encounter. "Mr. Froude returned
from his trip across the Atlantic
with q similar faith. which he has not
failed to ex press on various occasions:

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-LaSt Saturday
night Mrs. Katie Jones attempted to
destroy her life by taking an ounce of
laudanum. The history of this case is
a sad one. Some months since VIM.
H.. Jones married Miss Katie McLeish.
For a time all went we'll and happily,
but soon, for some real or fancied
cause, they separated, Katie returning
to her mothers house. Shortly after
this Jones shot at and wounded the
man he was jealous of, was arrested.
and getting bail, was liberated. This
trouble made Katie, who is but a
young girl, get tired of lite-hence the
attempt to destroy it. Just after sup
per, Saturday, she swallowed the poi
son. but Was observed in the act, and
medical aid summoned Immediately.
So determined was she to die hat ii
took the united efforts of three p err.
sons to enable the doctor to use the
stomach-pump. Despite her struggles
the laudanum was removed and she
was given "a new lease of life. She de-
clares that she will not live, but will
end her existence at the first oppOr-
tunity. We hear, Incidentally, that
this is the second time that watchful
eyes and prompt action have defeated
her suicidal atts,mp pts. But for the
presence OF food in the stomach Katie
would have succeeded this time. AS
it was it gave them plenty OF time 70
save her. 1t is sad to see a young life
become SO reckless and desperate.

In Ruthenia, says a traveller, a

track of an angel flying to receive a
departing spirit, or of a righteous soul
going up to heaven. In the latter case
it is believed that if wish is uttered
at the moment when the star shoots
by, it will go straight up with the re
joicing spirit to the throne of God. So

seat BY the side of Senator Conkling.
In the Senate, immediately after
reading the journal, Wallace moved
that the Senator-elect from Oregon,
Lafayette Grover, be sworn. AS the
Vice President rose to administer the
oath, Hamlin said the Senator from
Oregon, Mitchell, was not In his seat,
and he therefore objected to the oath
icing administered, as he understood
that Mitchell had some papers bearing
on the case.
Wallace said: As a Senator Of the
United States, he presented the elect
from Oregon and hoped he would be
sworn in.
Hamlin said: AS a Senator of the
United States, he objected to him
being worn.
The oath was not administered.

Thurman said there was nothing i'm
the Boutwell, report affecting Larmar's
primn Jacie right to a seat, not in me
report which touched this question,
and it was out of order for the Senate
to listen to the reading.
Morton begged to remind the Sen
ate that one year ago Thurman stood on
the other side of this pr1ma Jdcie bust
ness, in the case OF Pinchback. Ac-
conding to Thurman, there could be
no investigation as to the Legislature
which elected Lamar, but there could
be as to that which elected Pinchback.
He (Mor!on) held the same doctrine
now as he did in the Pinchback case.
There had been a sudden revolution
on the part of the Democracy. He
believed that the Senators objected to
should be called in regular order in
which they are named. The Senator
from Louisiana (Kellogg), was here
with a legal certificate, but objection
was made to swearing him in. On
the very ground upon which be was
stopped from taking his seat yester-
day, the Senator from Alabama (open-
cer) had IA right to interpose an objec.
ton in the ease of Lamar. 1t seemed
to him (Morton), that this was an at
tempt to have q one-doctrine case.
The Senate. then, by a vote of yeas
81, nays l, adopted the resolution of
Wallace, and Lamar was sworn in by
the Vice President. Spencer, who
would have voted in the negative, was
paired with Merriman, who would
have voted in the affirmative.
Blaine then offered a resolution to

bate, and the Senate, without action,
