Suicide Made Easy-A Yankee 1nven.
ton Not Patented.

A Boston telegram of April 10 says:
Probably the most shocking and coolly-
planned suicide ever recorded occurred
in Chelsea some time during Sunday
last. On Woodlawn avenue is situated
a two-story barn. In the loft of the
barn there resided at this season OF the
year a man named Stephen M. Pills
bury and his son, who titled the farm
of several acres for a livelihood: On
Sunday morning about seven o'clock
the father left his son lying in bed and
proceeded to visit his family, who re-
sided in Boston, and did not return
until Monday noon, when the younger
man, who was about thirty years of
age, had guillotined himself. The
deadly machine was composed of two
upright pieces of joist, on the inside of
which hollow block of wood was ar
ranged to slide. Firmly set in the space
thus made was q carpenters broadaz
evidently sharpened for the occasion.
On top of the block which held the Ak
was a box of stones weighing about fifty
pounds. A wooden lever supported
this continuance, and from this cord
led to watering-pot. The pot was
filled with water, and just balanced the
box of stones; but two holes had been
drilled in it, and when sufficient water
had run out the weighted ak descended.
Pillsbury's ingenuity did not ehd there;
and filed it with ether. so that when he
lay down on a bed of hay which he had
prepared his face was directly over the
an@sthetic. Boxes of brick were placed
at either side of In head, so that he
could not dodge the blow, and brace
was fixed to hold his head to the floor.
The machine worked perfectly, and
Pillsbury, whose ancestors have been
insane, doubtless died painless death.
He probably spent three weeks in pre-
pairing the guillotine.

THE ANSWER.

You ask me why love thee, little one;
Go ask the leaves that beckOn to the rain,
60 ask the flowers that worship in the sun,
Why thus they love, then ask me once
4 again.
GO ask the clouds that through the silen.
night
Lie still and gray beneath the stars cold
Why with the coming Of the morning light
They blush to rosy life, then ask me this.
60 ask the wild bird why his sweetest song
Rings through the wood-aisles with the dawn
ing day;
Ask the mad brook that leaps its path along
Why to the restless sea it sings its way.
60 ask the violet why its incense sweet
Should recompense the one that crushed 1t
low,
Then question why kncel at thy dear feet
Why should lOve-why should worship so.
The sea holds many an isle to it's great heart,
But each isle knows and loves q single sea;
know no life from thy dear life apart,
lay down all the world can give but thee.
Perchance for this when some soft breeze is
Across thy lips, thou'lt breathe a loving
A secret for my loyal heart alone,
Brought by tho odorous summer wind un
heard.
Perchance for this thou'lt whisper to the rose
That nestles timidly upon thy breast,
That somewhere in the world thy lover goes
Far from thy love, but by that love con-
And bid it breathe thy meaning on the air,
Touched lightly by thy lips ere last Dis
And will kiss the roses everywhere,
And by its sweetness know which thou hast
90 kissed.

Senator Window was greeted by a
fair audience at Turner Hall last Fri.
day evening, and his fine and logical
speech was listened to with marked
attention throughout. Before the
Senator was introduced to the audience
a few remarks were made by Col
Pf@nder in regard to statements that
had been made against the Republi.

certain parties in this city. At the
conclusion Of these remarks, Maj.
Bobleter introduced the speaker OF
the evening, Senator Window.
The Senator in discussing the mer.
it's of the two Presidential candidates
paid a fine tribute to Gen. Hancock
as heroic soldier during the late
war; but as the present leader of the
ex.rebels he could say nothing in his
favor. OF course the speaker did not

gentleman as the American patriot

exalted position. The Senator sale

MT. Bergh's advocacy of a return to the | whipping post for criminals pleases the
 Journal of Commerce, which says: 'tOur penal system needs something. It does not work. It is 8 failure because it does not diminish crime by expressing criminals. It
 makes the paths of vice and crime too easy and even fowery. It coddles the felon too l much. It gives him comforts, supplemented l in too many instances with luxuries, in prisons l and jails. It feeds him with fare better than 1 that found on the board of the honest poor l man. The rare exceptions in which prisons
 are made self-sustaining by convict labor will
 soon disappear if the trade unions have their way. In this impending crisis of our penal system MT. Bergh refers to the historic tri-
 umphs of the whipping post as the best pre-
 ventive yet discovered by man for certain
 kinds of offences. Perhaps American man. kind and womankind will at some distant day
 come round to this view, being forced to it
 by an inevitable reaction from the increasing
 lenity of legislatures, judges and juries in the
 treatment of criminals"
 General Louis Wagner, Commander -in- Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic has recently undertaken in the interest of pensioners and pension claimants to investi- gate the charges made against Commissioner Bentley, as well as the delays in the adjust ment of pension claims. The result is en- bodied in General Orders No. 11,'' issued from Grand Army headquarters in Phlladel- phia, a document of considerable length, con- taining in brief the same arguments which have been often advanced by promoters of a reorganization of the pension system. This is matter of importance, since it practically secures the influence of the Grand Army in support of the bill now pending in the Sen ate, known as the sixty surgeon bill. General Wagner says in conclusion that the Com mander-in-Chief is impressed with the neces- sity of legislation of the character proposed, and feels satisfied that Senate bill No. 496, as amended and reported to the Senate, will remedy the evils which claimants experience under the existing laws, and will materially hasten by some years settlement of honest claims, and he calls upon the several posts and departments of the Grand Army of the Republic to take immediate measures to ex- press to Congress their views and wishes in relation to the proposed legislation, and to invite the cooperation of all surviving sol diers and sailors everywhere.

COMMUNICATIONS.
The South Americas.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The conclusion of our presidential election, with it's important issues, brings us once more to the everyday affairs of life. The sovereign people declared for a continuance for the present status of our government in all that concerns our finances domestic and foreign policy. May we not, under the egis of cir cumstances SO favorable, revive the question of commercial and social relations with our neighboring governments of this continent For greater convenience and brevity in penning this article we use the name of the South Americas for all countries of South and Central America including the rich and fertile islands of the West Indies. Your jour nal, if not the first, was among the first to point out the value of the markets of the South Americas for our manufactured prod ucts You have urged on the manufacturers of New Haven and vicinity the advantages of direct traffic with the South Americas. From the first, immediate action for securing these important markets for surplus manufactured products was urged, that we might at once maintain our own interest in competition with European competitors Our goods were found to be preferred before the old handmade goods of European make. Prices, quality, with our improved styles and finish, gave us advantage. We should lose time to improve before our distant competitors recovered their pop ularity. The facts advanced in your col umns have been fully sustained by what lit tie has been done for the interests of our commerce with those very interesting and yet partially developed countries. We men tioned social relations in their connection with the commercial. Are they not essen tial to a successful traffic with educated and enlightened nations? We make mistake if we do not class our South and Central Amer ican neighbors with such favored countries in our estimate of their commercial import ance. With a beautiful language easily &C., quired, with courtly, polished manners, hos pitable and generous to fault, these people deserve our respect and consideration. They possess countries teening with tropical pro- auctions valuable for export to our more temperate latitude. Many of these products are valuable manufacturing material for our factories. We cannot ignore such facts.
 Our present government's policy in the in- terest of our trade with those countries IS vast improvement on all former administra- tions in the appointment of suitable and competent commercial agents to watch and

Girls.


 Girls are the most unaccountable things in the world-except women. Like the wicked feas, when you have them they ain't there. can cipher clean oyer to improper fractions and the teacher says do first rate, but I can't cipher out a girl proper or improper, and you can't either. The only rule in arith- metic that hits their case is the double rule of two. They are as full of the old Nick as their skins can hold and they'd die if they couldn't torment somebody. When they try to be mean they are as mean as pursely, though they ain't as mean as they let on to be, except sometimes they are 8 great deal meaner The only way to get along with girl when she comes with her nonsense is to give her tit for tat, and that will hummix her, When you get girl fummixed she is as nice as q new pie girl can SOW more wild oats in day than a boy can in year, but girls get their wild oats sowed after while boys never do-and they settle down as calm as a mud puddle. But I like girls first rate, and guess all boys do. I don't care how many tricks they play on me-and they don't care either The hoity-toities girl can't always boil over like glass of soda water. By-and- by they will get into the traces with somebody they like and pull as steady old stage horse. That is the beauty of them. So let lem wave, say; they will pay for it some day sewing on buttons, and trying to make decent man of fellow they have spliced into and ten to one if they don't get the worst of it.

THE CIfIzENs' TICKET.

The Citizens ticket which we print at the head of our columns this morning is a thor oughly excellent and non- partisan one. It is not often that better one is offered to the voters.
 Hon. Dexter R. Wright, the nominee for Mayor, needs no introduction to his fellow citizens or recommendation from us He is man of great ability, am- pie education and fine presence. He has held many offices, and was never found deficient in any of them He is as we'll ac- quainted with the cfty's needs as anyone who could have been nominated, and is ca- pablo of planning Improvements and carry ing them out. If elected he will take pride in making his administration a successful, not to say brilliant one. As Mayor he would be very useful to the city at home and credit to her abroad The citizens, ire spective of party, will act for their own in terests and the interests of the city by voting for him.
 Foster s. Bassett, the nominee for City Clerk, is fully competent to perform the du- ties of the office, and if elected will be found diligent and trustworthy in the city's service.
 The good record of Charles Kimberley, re- nominated for Auditor, speaks for itself He has been very efficient.
 A Citizens ticket would hardly seem com p1ete without Harmanus M Welch for Treas urer and Thomas C. Hollis for Sheriff upon it. Both these gentlemen deserve well of those whom they have served so long and faithfully.
 The city ticket has three Democrats and two Republicans upon it.
 For Selectmen the three old Republican members are renominated, and Alexander Foote, formerly an efficient member of the Board, is the fourth
 William E. Thompson, the nominee for Town Clerk, would perform the duties of that office to the satisfaction of all He is thoroughly familiar with them, having served under Town Clerk Botsford

An examination of official statistics shows that the commerce of British India has un- dergone a remarkable change since the open ing of the Suez Canal The business has in- creased largely, but the proportion of it transacted by British merchants and manu- lecturers has steadily diminished in conse- quenee of the adventurous enterprise of the Mediterranean countries, whose ships and merchants now avail themselves successfully of the advantage of the nearness to India to compete with the British in those markets. but now it has grown to large proportions.

"A Berlin correspondent of the New York Nation writes that the eyes of the discon- tented Germans are more than ever turned toward the United States. President Hayes administration, he says, ''has done more than it is credited with to re-establish the re- spect, good will and partiality which the Ger man people entertained for your country be- fore the unfriendly sale of arms to the French and the corruption under Grant had made it a by-word among decent men. You will appreciate the results of this change of mind in the largely increased immigration which has found it's way to the United States,
 although other countries have tried their ut most to divert it from it's old course. Your late presidential campaign was watched here with more attention than any one since the war,
