Arnold Fried, a lad Of IA, having
been recently expelled from the
Gymnasium Of Fuenfkirch and Baja,
Hungary. for dissipated and immoral
conduct, hanged himself to q tree.
Upon his corpse was found the fol-
lowing remarkable letter addressed
to his parents;
"The tortures Of Tantalus were as
naught in comparison to those | now

melted TO tears and stricken down
by the terrible blow ! am about to
inaict upon you, and Yet cannot do
otherwise than execute my resolve.

member how many sleepless nights /

A Sensational sensational suicide.

For ingenuity OF all kinds the Yam
kee race has been so characteristic that
it is synonymous with the term Of in
vention. A rfew Englander and a
novelty generally 60 hand in hand, and
if there was ever any doubt as to the
genuineness of this popular belief, or
any dispute as to the varied style of
their notions, it should be dispelled by
the remarkable self-guillotining, on
Tuesday last, of Stephen Pillsbury of
Chelsea Massachusetts,.
The suicide was young man scarce
ly thirty years Of ago, of most excel
lent character, great student fne
temperance advocate, but morbid on
The subject Of crime and criminals.
Fine looking, and Of good social and
cheerful disposition, his act is the
more remarkaple, especially as he was
an unmarried man. Yet, on tho day
and date assigned, his head was lying
loose alongside of his body, and his
life blood had welled out, and all by
his own handiwork.
He had builded him in the farm
barn rude but perfectly working ma
chine of death, on the style OF the
French guiilotine. Two uprights Of
ioists twelve feet in length he had set
from the floor to the ceiling. The up
Nper ends were spiked to the ceiling;
the lower n.ortised in solid blocks OF
wood about four feet long, and in the
center Of which he had scooped out a
neck rest. Fitting between the up
rights in q smoothly sliding board was
carpenters broad-axe sharpened to a
lazor-like condition. This slider rested
on a lever, which worked upon pin
secured in the left upright, from the
end Of which, suspended by cord
some three feet in length, was water.
pipe which had been filed with water
The bottom Of this pot the suicide
had perforated so that the water would
gradually leak out and release the
lever, and the ak would drop. The
fall of the ak was nearly seven feet
but, to make things dead sure, Pills
bury had placed on top of the slide a
box of stones about fifty pounds ii
weight.
To prevent any charge of suicida
intent, he had at the base of the up
rights inserted piece of broom-handls
running through both joists and com
pletely imprisoning his neck. By hi.
side. on the block, he had dug out 9
hollow, in which he had poured about
a pint Of ether. Having finally per
fected arrangements by placing two
large boxes of stone close against the
sides of the murderous machine, quiet
~ smoked cigar, filled the waterin:
pot, placed his head in position, will
his nostrils close to the ether fumes
and, as the water leaked away, tn,
lever was sprung, the slider started
and the thud of the ak announced de
capitation.
Being a temperance talkcr, it was
but consistent and proper that h
should die by water.

IMPURE BREATH.

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay of the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most Notifying
and unpleasant to it's possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusiblean offensive in society
and yet the cause of it may easily be re-
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. 1t puri6es and sweetens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth, and
gives pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors Of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.
