Suicide from RemOrse, i,

A sad and curious case is that O
Joseph Rivers, a New York nigh
watchman, who committed suicid,
last week through remorse for having
by mistake shot a 'longshoreman.-
Rivers was considered one of the most
vigilant watchmen on the river front,
and there was something suspicious
about the actions of the 'longshoremar
which promoted him to call him tt
stop. The man refused. There was 9
scutfle and, in the melee, he was shot
although not fatally.

Don't forget to giggle.-Josh Billings

BABY AT THE HOUSE.
He was married but little more than
a year ago. Then was his step elastic,
his eyes bright, his clothing faultless
In style, fit and cleanliness. He ex.
hailed an aroma Of Lubin's best. Now
are his habiliments redolent with elixir
pro.paregoric, squills and like abomi-
nations. Care Is indelibly stamped on
his features, and on the right shoulder
Of his coat appears a wsll-defned, mys-
terious discoloration. His boots, as
well as his eyes, are lustreless; his hat
goes unbrushed; he falls asleep on the
slightest provocation ; he is constantly
bearing bomeward neat little white pa
per parcels tied with pink string; walls
are prevalent in every pocket. What
has brought about these changes? To
what subtle spell is this metamorpho-
sis due ? There's baby at his house
WHY HE WAS HAPPY.
A party of visitors were inspecting q
poorhouse. Among the inmates was a
venerable looking old man, whose face
indicated perfect happiness. Said one
of the visitors, "You seem to be satisf-
ed with your lot" | am he replied;
81 have source of consolation that is
denied to most men," All, said the
visitor, "you look forward to blissful
future beyond the gravel" Yes, re-
sponded the old man; but l also find
much comfort in the proverb that says
one mans loss is another mans gain.
1t makes me happy to think | never
lost enough to do the feller that found
it mucn good.
'vITrALs' NOT LITERATURE.
A countryman, seating himself at
fashionable restaurant with the inten-
tion of taking hearty dinner, sum-
moned waiter and made known his
purpose. The latter skipped briskly
away land finally returned with hand
somely bound bill Of fare, which he
opened and placed before the guest,
who, pushing it away, scornfully OBJ
served:-"Oh, come now, you can't
cram no literature down me; vittals is
what want-vittals-and pretty dern-
ed quick, too"

DUFAURE,t the president of the French
council of ministers, refuses to retain
Office, SO President Grevy has entrusted
M. Washington the Anglo-F renchman,
with the task Of forming a cabinet ac.
ceptable to the majority. Waddington
is the minister for foreign affairs in the
Dufaure cabinet, and as such represen.
ted France in the Berlin congress. He
is said to be a very progressive and able
man and the fact of his being given &c
responsible a trust as the formation Of
a ministry, proves that he is valuable
among the leaders of the nation.
Waddington is a Protestant, as the ma.
jority Of the Dufaure ministry are.
This fact marks a great distinction be-
tween the empire, which was the pope's
main support, and the republic, which
will o disestablish the church, and
leave religion to individual conscience
the same as In the United States.

THE Deadwood Pioneer is not stror

THE Deadwood Pioneer is not strong
ly in favor Of Dakota being erected into
a state. 1t sensibly says:
In what manner we would be bene-
flied by statehood, SO long as we have
no means Of inter communication bet
ter than at present we are at a loss to
discover. After we had become a
state, the same difficulties that now
beset us on account of our divergent
interests from the southeastern portion
OF the territry would still remain. We
are entirely separated from all other
portions of the territory. Our popula-
is almost entirely made up of emigrants
who know Of Dakota only as the Black
Hills who came here from all quarters
of the United States, and who are not
bound 10 Dakota except by the mere
arbitrary geographical lines Of denmark
alton, which shows us to be within its
boundaries. The capital is far distant
and difficult Of access. The people Of
the other sections are engaged in totally
different pursuits from us, and are ac-
tuated by different ambition and desires;
nothing tends to draw us together in
any manner. With a new state we
would still be in the same condition,
with u far heavier burden of taxation
to bear, rs a state foim of government
is far more expensive than a territorial
form, and nothing would then come
from the government for the support Of
Jul institutions.

members propose excluding all claims,
without regard to loyalty, person, or
corporation. AS most of the northern
states have just claims on the govern
mems, the congressman from those
states cannot support the move 1t is
unfair, at the outset, to class these
claims with those Of rebels. and ignore
them all. Nor does the fact that some
northern claims have been paid afford
a precedent for the payment Of those
of the south. Its all right, however,
as the senate will not pass the resolu-
ton, and then the arguments of the
southerners will serve rs 50 many re-
publican campaign documents, which
will insure a solid north at the next
election.
