SUICIDE is inspired by various and
very conflicting motives. Early in the
war of the rebellion a boy hanged him
self in Northern Ohio because his father
would not let him enlist. A good many
more persons put an end to their lives
through the mere apprehension of being
drafted and killed in battle. An exchange
now says that the wife of Judge Miller,
of Lincolnville, Maine, hanged herself
the other day to the bed post, leaving a
note to the effect that she was drawing
neal seventy-five years of age, and feared
that she would come to trouble if she
reached IL.

Healthfulness of Fruit.

No intelligent person can doubt that
the free use of ripe fruit Is conducive to
health. On the other hand it is obvious
that fruits as an exclusive article of diet,
do not meet all the wants Of the system.
The chemistry of the apple, the pear,
the tomato, the grape, &C., is well I'M
derstood, and it can be stated how much
nutriment or assimilable food each is ca
pable of a~ffording; but this does not an
swer all the questions connected with the
subject of the healthfulness of fruit.
Besides furnishing nutriment, fruit ex-
erts other influences upon the animal
economy of the highest Importance. The
acids of fruit are properly nutritive sub
stances, but they produce physiological
effects Of a cooling or corrective nature,
which are highly salutary.
Fruits are largely composed of water,
and this fluid has come to them through
extraordinary channels. The tiny root
fibres have collected it in the dark earth
and, by vital action, it has been forced
through the most minute tubes, until il
is finally deposited in the fruit cells. Sc
far as we know, the water undergoes nc
notifications; it is water in the soil, and
it is the same in its wonderful associa.
tions in fruits. 1t, however, holds sac.
charine elements and other principles
which modify its physical appearance
and taste. The great amount of water
contained in fruits is in itself an advant
age, as it aids in cleaning the alimentary
canal and the other excretory ducts, and
thus promotes healthy action.
Fruits are capable of sustaining life fol
long periods, but the lack of the nitro
geneous elements detracts from thei
strengthening power, and any one liv
ing exclusively upon them would not BE-
able to labor effectively. We have heart

It will be remembered that some time ago
James Vagus, at Kokomo, Ind, shot his father
in q saloon without any provocation whatever,
further than the young mans claim that his
father owed him money for work. James Vagus
has been sentenced by agreement Of the de-
tense, as a compromise-there having been no
trial at ALTO imprisonment for life in the
Northern Prison, at MICHIGAN City, Ind. 1t was
the request of Jacob Vagus, the murdered man,
on his death bed, that his son James be not
hanged, bat sentenced to prison for life; and
for this reason the above sentence was given.

Horrible Crime Horribly Punished.

sin Hereford County, Colorado, Antonio
Mestes, a Mexican, murdered his wife and
babe most horribly a few days ago. He first
knocked the woman down with a club, and then
seized a knife and with it savagely l~acerated
the lower portion of the woman's body, cutting
out immense pieces of flesh. He then delib-
erately ripped open the womb and took the
still living child from it, which he dashed to
the floor, and stamped upon until life was ex-
tinct. After this he tore the body of his wife
almost apart, and after further mutilations fled.
He was oun near his old home and placed in
a school-house for safe keeping, with a guard
of two men. It having become generally
known that he had been overtaken, and his
whereabouts having been ascertained, a body Of
sixty men was soon got together, who marched
to the school-house about 10 o'clock at night,
and, taking him out proceeded to administer
punishment to Mestes for his crimes. His body
was mutilated in precisely the same manner as
was his wife's by him. His scalp WAS then
lifted and q rope tied about the mans neck, the
other end being attached to the horn of q sad
die. He was thus dragged about over the
ground until the body was entirely unrecog-
uizable,

A spicy Correspondence.


Without attaching any political significance
to it, we feel called upon to give the substance
of a spicy correspondence lately waging between
Hon. John Sherman and Hon. Wade Hampton.
Some time ago, at a conference meeting at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, in New York, of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, Mr.. Sherman
made a speech in which he used the following
language: Sand now you are asked to surren-
der all you have done into the hands of Wade
Hampton and the Ku-Klux and the little seq
ment in the North that is called the Democratic
party" In the Charleston Is. CD Ne1os and
Courier Wade Hampton denounced the state
ment as a lie, and wrote to Sherman to know
whether it was true that he made use of such
language. Mr.. Sherman replied that ho did,
and further added: "You and your associates,
the leading men in the South, now enjoy the
benefits of political power derived from the
atrocities of the Ku-Klux Khan, in which phrase
1 include all the numerous aliases by which it
has from time to time been known in the South.
Your power in the Southern States upon actual
crimes of every grade in the code of crimes
from murder to the meanest form of ballot-box
stufing, committed by the Ku-Klux Khan and
its kindred associates, and, as you know, some
of the worst of them committed since 1877,
when you and others gave the most solemn as
surance of protection to the freedmen of the
South. These crimes are all aimed at the civil
and political rights of Republicans III the
South; and, as I believe, but for these agencies,
the very State that you represent, as well as
many other States in the South. would be rep
resented both in the Senate and House, by
Republicans. But for these crimes the boast
attributed to you, that 1873 solid Southern votes
would be cast for the Democratic ticket, would
be but idle vaporing; but now We feel that it is
q sober truth"
To this Wade Hampton sent the following
reply!
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, Oct. 1. 1880.
SIR. Your letter has been received. As you
do not disclaim the language to which I called
your attention, 1 have only to say that, in using
II, you uttered what was absolutely false. and
what you knew to be false. My address will be
Columbia, s.. G. lam your obi. serv't,
WADE HAMPTON.
Mr.. Sherman, in his reply, used the following
language: "What I stated in my letter of Sep
TENDER 81 1 believe to be true, notwithstanding
your denial, and it can be shown to be true by
the public records and as q matter of history.
As you had, long before your letter was de-
livered to me, seen proper to make a public
statement of your views of the correspondence,
I will give it to the press without note or COM
ment, and let the public decide between u.s."

"reIescoped, I'm the Fog.

An accident occurred on the Cincinnati, Ham
ilton and Dayton Railroad last week, that
under the circumstances is truly remarkable
for the fact that no one was killed. 1t liz
the old story of 'telescoped'-the engine
Of one train blowing into the rear end
of another. The Toledo train, No. II,
which left Hamilton at 1892 a. m, was
detained a short time at Schenck's Station by a
freight train taking a side-track. About ten
minutes later train No. IS, which had left Ham
ilton on time, followed. At Jones' Station
train No. II was side-tracking to admit the pas
sage of an up train, when train No. IS reached
that point, and SO dense was the fog that the
engineer did not see the train until he was al
most into it. 1t was too late then, and the en-
CINE went blowing into the rear coach, crushing
the car and knocking off the upper works of the
engine and letting the steam out of the boiler
into the car. After the car was struck the
scene in and around the coach was indescriba-
BILE. The kissing of the steam, the cries of the
suffering and scalded men and women, was a
sight awful in the extreme. The inmates of
the car who we're not unconscious at once be-
ganto break the windows and Chamber out the
best they could; fortunately none became fas-
tened within the cal, or else thev would have
