There is h1mor in suicides. Miss Pixley,
Of South Lee Mass, jumped into a river to
drown herself, aud then pulled herself out by
The bough Of tree under which she noated.
She writes 40 account for the newspapers, say
ing If there is any one who reads this, fool
ish enough 10 want to die before God S chosen
time, don I jump into the river where there arc
trees with limbs hanging in the water, for if
you do, no matter how determined you are 70
leave this world, you will either have to make
up your mad TO stay little longer, or else try
it again, which latter you will not be likely 10
do" Lawyer Bancroft, Of San Francisco, be-
fore killing himself with Laulsnum, wrote in
letter to a coroner: "I beg to inform you
that this Is a case Of laulanum taken with sui
cidal intent Reasons, concern no one but my
self; still, if any one should insis, upon bay-
ing reason, you may say was driven to des-
peration by the Presidential muddle, and see

They came 10 me with sad. averted head,
Concealment scorninG-" Thy bird is dead
"Indulge not foolish sorrow, and peut thy cries,
"And come, and see the spot wherein he lies.
Ny strength forsook, cared not where they led
"'Twixt night and dawning twas, he died" they
said
And then was Sc; before me the widowed cage
"'Tis some who say he perished of old age"
Than seen, rather eli the sight before me there
All lifeless, cold beyond my thoughtful care,
Upon the flooring OF his cage he lay
Yesterday, my birdie-now, but yellow clay.
And as, although my daze, ! caught the sight
The picture bold, with uncontrolled might
Gushed forth the tcars-my bursting well Of grief,
In sorrows binding tide found relief.

Found Dead.

XVWWW Dc0Us
Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock, Got
leib Juggler, baker employed by Henry
Miller, No. 400 Orange street, was found
dead In bed.
He had been out on Saturday evening till
10 O'Clock, and as that was the only night
he went out of the house, he came home in
good spirits, nothing seeming seeming to be
the matter with him. He retired about
half past ten and was found laying dead
with his clothes on. There were some pea
nuts in bis pockets, and 1t was first thought
that he might have been eating them while
sleeping and had choked to death.
The body was brought to the Morgue, 9Th
and shipley streets, and Coroner Rose held
an inquest, whore his throat was examined,
but no sign of his being choked was visible as
his face was not tho least discolored. The
jury came to no verdict, as 1t was necessary
that past.mortem examination should be
held, they adjourned to meet tomorrow
evening at 7:30 O'Clock.

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1877-04-28

General and Mrs. Grant will sail for
Europe in May, accompanied by their
Youngest son, now in college. They
expect to be absent ut least two years,
and it is General Grants desire to
travel rs any other private citizen of
the United States without public dem
onstrations from the government au-
thorities of the countries he will visit.
Herecalls the embarrassment of Frank
lin Pierce during his tour abroad after
the expiration of his presidential term.
After profusion of public attention
he at last found refuge in secluded
village in the Swiss mountains, where
he enjoyed himself for about three
days before his identity was discovered.
Then the people turned out en- masse,
aud gave him SO cordial reception
that he was again forced to move
along. General Grant desires to avoid
this.
