LABoUCHERE's ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

The attempt of Pierre Laboucherc, of Holland, to
commit suicide at the Hotel Brunswick, on Monday

only bad sign was occasional splitting OF blood,

Amsterdam almost ever since he was twenty

been of strange and solitary disposition, and for
some time has been estranged from the other men,

cousin had seen little of him since his arrival here.

far more interest than most of the literature of
the civil war between the States is rewarded
with 1t is entitled Destruction and Recon

War; Gen. Taylor SAYS in his brief preface
that it has seemed to him duty to record
these "reminiscences; that his opportunities for
obtaining AN interior view of the matters to
which they relate were excellent; that in most
cases he has been a witness to the facts alleged,
or has obtained them from the sources, and
that where any doubt exists he has indicated
it by the language employed" He begins
with review ofthe causes of the war, and re-
views the military and political history of the
struggle In a series of fourteen chapters, which
contains striking portraits here and there, and
many criticisms upon the operations of both
sides. II Nets FORK World
s'As q writer he is vigorous, sparkling
erndite and entert aiming to degree. His op
portunities for the observation of men and
things have been such rs few possessed, and he
views the late war from a Southerner's stand
point, but both sides receive censure at his
hands. The great interest In his book to many
will, no donbt, be the sharpness with which he
critieises men and measures. Where least ex
pected he pours fourth batteries of sarcasm
and denunciation, and spares no one whom he
