A Romantic Suicide.

On the evening of the 27th inst,
In Baltimore, Mrs. DuchoslaY, wife
of John Duchoslav, a Bohemian. in
the enjoyment of prosperous busi-
ness, requested him TO accompany
her to Baltimore Cemetery to adorn
the grave OF her former husband
with flowers. He declined, and, as
on previous occasions, appeared
melancholy at her attentions to the
memory of her former spouse. She
went 10 the cemetery, however,
strewed the grave with flowers, and
spent several hours in the grounds.
On returning she found tile house
closed. An entrance was forced,
and the corpse of Duchoslav found
hanging to a wardrobe. The body
was warm when found, but efforts to
restore animation failed. Mr.. Du-
ehosIav was fifty-two years old.

In his conversation with me at Ujiji
Livingstone ascribed much just praise
20 all OF the region west Of Coma
Mountains. IL is most remarkable
region-more remarkable than anything
| have seen in Africa. It's woods or
forests or jungles or bush-I do not
know by what particular tern to desig-
nate the crowded, tall, straight trees
rising from M impenetrable under
growth Of bush, creepers, thorns,
gums, palms, fronds, canes and grass
are sublime, even terrible. Indeed,
Nature hero is either remarkable or
savagely beautiful. At a distance
everything looks charming. Take your
stand on any eminence or coigne OF
vantage for view-seeing you may please
be il the crest OF a ridge, the summit
Of hill, the crown Of a rock, and il
you look around, you will find yourself
delighted, facinated. A hundred or
thousand different outlines are in view
of ridges and ranges, peakes and cones
the boldly waving or softly rolling OF
gradual OF abrupt slope OF mounds,
little patches of levels, of the grand
aud picturesque, in bewildering diver
sity Of form. You will exclaim that
Won see tie splendor of the tropics
that you have caught nature rejoicing
and happy. Over all she has flung a
robe Of varying green; the hills and
ridges are blooming; the valleys and
basins exhale perfume; the rocks wear
garlands Of creepers; the stems OF the
trees are clothed with MOSES; a thous-
aud streamlets OF pure, cold water
stray now languid, now quick, toward
the north and south and west. The
whole makes a pleasing, charming IL
lustration Of the bounteousness and
wild beauty OF tropical Nature.
Look closer aud annalyze all this,
that you may find how deceptive is
distance. The grasses are coarse and
high and thick. They form n minia-
ture copy Of an African forest Their
spear-like blades wound like knives
and their points like needles; the reeds
are tall and rough as bamboo; in those
pretty-looking bushes are thorns--tru-
" the thorus are hooks Of steel; the
crown OF that youder low hill with such
q gentle slope is all but inaccessible.
See that glorious crop Of crimson flow
ers on that low bush in the middle Oi
the lawn green. Pause, my friend, be.
fore you venture 10 pluck them. First
that lawn is deception; ID is forest
OF tall trees you see, and that beautiful
gorgeous poison bush is nearly thirty
feet high, and those green banks OF
vegetation in those hollows are almost
impenetrable forest belts.-tH NJ
