rs There Such a Tl,ing as Lore.

The Cincinnati papers have recent
ly published the details of q sad case
of suicide. A very intelligent, ac-
complished and estimable young wo.
man, on hearing of the death Of her
af1ianced, obtained q pistol and shot
herself fatally in the heart. Before
she committed this desperate deed
she spoke kindly toan intimate lady
friend, telling her that she had
thought over the whole matter calmly
and had resolved TO Ego to Fred"
Such narratives are not only fire.
quent but significant. The fippant
poetry of every age has called love
an "idle dream" Worldliness has
scoffed at its genuiness. Ambition
has checked it down, andthcn denied
that it ever had an existence. In
genious philosophers have held that
love, like ghosts, is something that
everybody speaks of, but no one has
seen. Itisamazing how acute think
ers can sometimes blunder upon the
simplest matters. The daily press
holds upa picture of the word, at
which no one can look thoughtfully
without becoming impressed with a
just sense of the most powerful hu-
man passions.
Rather than suffer unrcquited af
lection men and women are con.
stantly determining to die. One of
the most dramatic among recent
cases is reported in the ST. Petersburg
gazettes. The story is that a young
man of conspicuous talents, excellent
character and fine position, became
attached toa charming young lady
who could not return his advances.
Foresecing that his passion must be
hopeless, he resolved on self-destruc-
ton. Then, fearing that he might
be misunderstood, and in order to as
sure his friends Of his entire sanity,
ho wrote to his parents the motives
that impelled him to choose this
course. "Her love-, he said, sis
simply indispensable to my life, | die
like fish without water; like a crea-
ture of God without air, l cannot do
otherwise"
In order to test his conviction to
the utmost, the wretched man fixed
upon deliberate and most painful
method of suicide, SO that he might
have every temptation and every op.
portunity to recant. He engaged a
room in one of the city hotels and ar
ranged three candles under the bed
stead in such n way that while he
was reclining the flames mightslow-
ly consume his back, until the spine
carbonized and death resulted.@
Under this excruciating torture he
did not blench, as the position of his
body when discovered proved. 1t is
idle to multiply instances. Some Of
the most pathetic never find their
way into mint. .Ilhnnu .InMrnnL

FREEDMANS RANK

II often happens that we get news Of this
decaying bit of Radical beauty 1t was such
an enterprising, energetic, handsome and
magnificent specimen of Radical rascality
that we are again tempted to give more of its
proportions and its cunning devices, but will
at the present discard this enchanting pleas
ure and speak Of Its present status
Some year or 80 ago select committee of
the Senate, with the negro Senator Bruce as
its chairman, was appointed to investigate
this institution. Senator Bruce from time
TO time has given us the intelligence that
there was no doubt but that there was q
great deal Of rascality under lying the en-
tire affair, but that il was almost impossible
TO ferret it out. II is not at all likely that we
shall have much more from Senator Bruce's
committee, as he is shortly TO give way to
the new Senator Mr.. George.
The latest information is to the effect that
the committee will continue to take testi-
mony from time 10 time and will hold
series of meetings for the purpose of examin-
ing additional witnesses. Those who have
been swind!ed by this gigantic fraudulent
institution have indeed but little chance of
realizing anything from their investment
Many OF those who were responsible for the
fraudulent transactions and bad manage
ment are non est and the balance, to use n
vulgar phrase, are "busted."
II is now stated that the bank building is
10 b. sold to the United States Government
This in all probability will yield few thou.
sand dollars, but by the time the services of
those engaged in winding up the bank at
fairs arc paid, there will be but little of the
proceeds left for distribution among the de-
coived creditors.
Notwithstanding this outrageous decep-
ton, this wicked wrong perpetrated upon
the ignorant colored people of the country
by the criminal and conspicuous leaders of
the Radical party, they still seem to have
great faith in the assurances given and in
ducemonts held out under the Exodus move
ment 1t seems hard for them to realize the
fact that they are but the tools of the party,
and that the Radicals have no use for them
hut to serve their purposes.

interested in the cause Of human liberty,
wherever a man may be found struggling
in behalf of its principles-in Ireland as also
in England, in France, in Germany, in Italy,
in Russia. The conflict between liberty and
iespotism is going on all over the world, and
in every phase we are interested; we may
not be let to believe that every movement
is wisely directed we may not agree as to
the true remedy for recognized evils, but we
are bound TO take sides with those who
struggle against every form of despotism.
The influence of human liberty is the
power of justice, and its progress the resist
less energy Of truth. AS knowledge in
creases and the thoughts of men widen,
the nations Of the earth will gather to its
dominion, whilst the star which glitters in
the Western hemisphere will direct them in
their course of liberal opinion.

HUMAN LIBERTY,

Our government is professedly "a govern
ment Of the people, for the people and by the
people" and those Americans who do not
sympathize with any reasonable movement
OF any country against any form of oppres.

ditions.
A government springing from the people,
resting the authority Of It's rule upon their
interest and drawing the vigor of its sover.
eighty from their will, upresting from royalty

and taking her place in the council of ma.
tions, holding the rights Of her people To be
Of divine origin in the very temples of
legitimacy, make her the champion OF en-
lightened and liberal opinion everywhere.
The principle OF human liberty belongs
10 ages Of liberal enlightenment, and pro-
gross is the law of its being. Its history
Is the history Of steady and continuing de.
