Youthful Suicides

James Zeis, aged 10, son of L.
u. Zeis, farmer in Allen county, Ind,
committed suicide by hanging himself
with piece of rope from beam in his
fathers barn. The only cause assigned
is that he had been accused of stealing
lead pencil from a store and threat
ened with arrest
Nancy Lee, aged II, committed
suicide at Boonville, Warwick county,
Ind, by taking a teaspoonful of NOR
phine. On the 18th of January her
most intimate friend, Mrs. Fanny Dill
bingham, committed suicide, after being
married few weeks, on account of diff
fioulties with her mother-in- law. Miss
Lee had ever since been depressed in
spirits. She left several letters to her
parents stating that she had taken NOR
phine, requesting to be buried beside
her friend, Fanny Dillingham;, and for
them to visit Terre Haute and attend
splritualist seance, promising to appear
with her friend.
The body of young and beautiful
woman, dressed in male attire, was re-
Gently discovered in water-hole, not
far from Rockford, I'll. The Coroner
held an inquest on the corpse, and it
was found that the young girl was Miss
Ella Schultz, adopted daughter of Fl. G.
Buell., wealthy farmer of Hebron, ILL.,,
who disappeared 1nysteriously from Der
home about seven weeks previous. The
girl was about Is years of age, intelli-
gent, but Respondent at times. When
found she was dressed in heavy suit of
youths clothing and rubber boots. It
is supposed that she intended to run
away from home, and that, becoming
discouraged and Respondent, she COM
mitted suicide. She had cut her hair,
which was found secreted in pocket of
her coat. Verdict, suicide.

Frightful Shrillkage.

An idea of the tremendous fall of real
estate in New York is furnished by the
following item from the Tribune:
"The Industrial Exhibition Company
in 1871 purchased lot of land lying be-
tween Ninty- ninth and One Hundred
and-Third streets and Third and Fourth
avenues, for the purpose of establishing
an industrial exhibition. The price
paid was 81, 100000. The scheme was
not successful, and the land, which had
been divided into lots, has been sold un-
der foreclosure by several insurance
companies holding mortgages upon it.
The sum realized was 100000 The
former manager of the Exhibition Com
pany states that, soon after the purchase
of the property, the company was Of

The Anderson Case.

Leopold L. Montplaiser, one of the
two colored jurors impaneled to serve in
the Anderson case in New Orleans, pub
fishes letter to say that, after hearing
the testimony of Witnesses snd charge Of
the Judge, he came to the conclusion
that Anderson was not guilty, and said
SO. The other colored Juror and Mr..
Welch agreed with him, and the vote
stood nine to three. Some one then
moved to amend the majority motion
and recommend to the mercy of the
court. The three jurors voting for &C
gulttal were assured that this recon-
mendation to mercy prevented q SEN
tence to the penitentiary, and they
agreed to the verdict, otherwise they
would have voted to the last for acquit-
tai.

Among the interesting things at the
aquarium, ID West street, is a beaver
that had worked away on the metal
standpipe till he had worn his under
teeth down to the gums, the upper teeth
growing down to meet them. The re-
suit was that the upper teeth grew until
they formed a perfect muzzle, complete
ly shutting the mouth. In order to save
him from starvation dentist was con-
suited. With thin file he cut off some
three-quarters of an inch of the upper
teeth; this gave the under teeth chance
to come up to their proper places, which
they did In very short time. The
beaver is now doing well, and does his
part of the gnawing, but does not
trouble the standpipe.-Bostoa Tran

Flying Turks Horrible Sights.

A correspondent of the London D0ilQ
Telegraph writes from Pera:
CT left Tatar Bazardjik by the last
train that ran. The sight was appalling;
thousands upon thousands of fugitives
clutched to the train as their only haven:
they clambered On to the tops of the car
r1ages, the steps and buffers; these last
were crowded. They even put their
women and children on the rails to pre-
vent the engines from advancing. At
last we got away, but the same sight
greeted us at every station. Further on
we met trucks full Of these wretched
people, scores of them crowded into
sheep carriages, layers one above the
other, waiting to be carried on. In
many instances these living truck-loads
had remained for five days stationary,
not a man, woman or child daring to
leave them for fear OF losing their
places. The scene was most horrible.
In one instance saw eight dead bodies
in truck. Moreover, dysantery pre-
vailed frightfully among them. With
out food, exposed to piercing cold, in q
state Of filth, the position Of these poor
wretches can hardly be imagined. Such
q sight [ never witnessed. As we pro-
ceeded [ saw wretched little children
thrown away, starved and frozen to
death, into the snow; they were dying in
carloads. We travelled on; one night
near to Hermanh occurred dreadful
scene. The train was too heavy for us
to mount an incline, and we had to back.
We had proceeded only a few yards
when he heard crunch, crunch, bump,
and thought the engine was off the rails.
We quickly came to standstill, and got
off to ascertain what had happened. We
found that in backing several of the poor
wretches on the buffers had been thrown
off between the metals. The iron guard
In front of the engine had caught them,
and rolled and crunched them up, two OF
three together, in mangled mass of hui
manity. It Was some time before we
could extricate their remains. Another
poor fellow, soldier, who, having done
good service, was on his way home, had
his two legs cut off at the thigh; he was
still living. This was one of the many
frightful scenes I Witnessed. The whole
population is moving en- masse toward
the capital in a state Of terror and panic
perfectly indesoribable. The suffering,
misery and mortality is fearful. Chris

Westward HO!

The prospect is for a larger Western
emigration this year than ever before in
the history of the country. Last week
over 1,200 persons arrived in Atchison.
and, in one day, twenty-seven car loads
are reported as having arrived at Topeka
to look at the ''lay of the land" Kan
sas, Iowa, Nebraska and Texas may all
reasonably expect large additions to
their population, and of good class of
settlers. There is room for more. IN
less we mistake the indications. there
are brighter prospects for the West than
for many years. - Chicago Inter Ocean.

Englishmen VS.. Americans.

The London World says that Stanley
honestly believes that Englishmen are
prejudiced against him on account of his
nationality. "They do not like Ameri-
cans" he insists; they are jealous of
America, and their jealousy crops out
continually" In this opinion Stanley is
partly right and partly wrong. It is not
SO much his jealousy that makes the
average Englishman unpleasant to the
average American as it is his self-suf-
ficiency. He will not meet the American
cordially, because he regards Americans
as an inferior species of Englishmen.
This feeling, we are glad to say, does not
exist to any extent among the upper
classes of England, who by travel and
education have become relieved from the
prejudices long ago engendered by the
oaricatures Of Charles Dickens and his
im1tators. Paradoxical as it may seem,
the warmest appreciation of this country
is found among the gentlemen consti-
tuting what is called the aristocracy Of
ENGLAND
