SAD SUICIDE Miss Adelaide Boyd,
daughter of DR.. John Boyd, died between
II and l o'clock on Tuesday from the eff
fects of strychnine administered by her
own hand. The first intimation the
family had of the girls efforts at selfde-
struction was when she was seized with
convulsions, an hour after retiring to her
room. She then told her sister she had
taken poison. Her father assisted by DR..
Cooper, erdeavored to save the girl, but
was unsuccessful. She had been laboring
under the impression that the family was
suffering from poverty, and that it was
her duty to save them from want. This
hallucination has worn upon her mind
since March, and, notwithstanding her
fathers efforts to induce her to go to the
seashore, she persistently refused and con-
tinued to seek employment among the
stores of the city. She was 2G years old,
and came to this city from Landenburg
with her father Wilmington Morning.

ing the sacred and constitutional
rights of individuals whose property
cannot be ruthlessly invaded by rail-
road companies, etc. All this is very
well Us far as it goes. Yet Crecentius
ought to remember that if individuals
nave rights, the public have some too.
While individuals have the right to
obtain just compensation for their
property, when it is required for the
convenience Of the public, these same
individuals have not the right to OPP
pose the laying of roads and rail-
ways upon the same allegation that
they are not going to be damaged
thereby. Damages are recovered only
when they have been committed, not
before. If Crecentius' theory was
correct, there couldn't be found q
common road, much less railroad
IN the country; because there are in
dividuals everywhere, who complain
chat they will be ruined, for several
reasons, by the laying of highways
through their property. Towns and
cities would be hemmed in by the
fences of obstreperous and unreason-
able land owners.
The right that the public has to
travel from one point to another is
one which the constitutions of the
land has always maintained, and Gre
centius will find it out before he
grows much older.

Pursuant to announcement the
Army ofNorthern Virginia Benevo-
lent Association, Louisiana Division,
held their monthly meeting last eve-
ming at their hall, so st. Charles
street, President John B. Richardson
in the chair. The meeting was large
and quite enthusiastic on the subject
Of the dedication Of their tomb and
monument, on the tenth Of May next.
The report Of the committee in re-
gard to the progress Of the work was
quite favorable, and indicated that
everything would be ready in time.
But a marked feature Of the report
was the very satisfactory evidence
that, though the committee was work
ing solely on the resources Of the as
ISOLATION and without seeking aid
from outsiders, that since the objects
of the undertaking have become
known the warm hearts Of our peO-
pie have been found to yibrate in
strong sympathy and carnestness
with regard to the object Of these
gallant old veterans in their endeav-
ors to commemorate the memory Of
their fallen heroes and their immor-
tai "Stonewall.' Indeed, feeling
has been aroused so much on the sub
ject that q number of the fairest
daughters of the Crescent City have
taken hold Of the matter and will
push through a cause to success which
the women of the South so tenderly
love. In fact, the members of the
committee are sanguine that the tomb
and monument will be completed
without involving the associatation in
debt--that, with the aid of the
novel and unique entertainment the
ladies propose giving at the Opera
house. The different Confederate
associations in the various parts of
the South are invited, and the &C.
casion will be honored by the presence
of Mrs. Stonewall Jackson and her
daughter, but the dedication will be q
purely civic Notwithstanding
which our city will no doubt be
crowded with warm Southern hearts
from Maryland to Texas.
Among the features ofthc evening
was the attention that was called and
the manner with which the announ-
cement was received that the day
was the ninth of April, the eventful
anniversary OF the surrender at
AppomattoX.
Towards the close of the meeting u
letter was read from Mrs. Ring,
presenting the association with several
relics OF the war, among which was a
piece of a Confederate battle-h flag of
of the Sixth Louisiana all tattered and
torn, which had passed through six
teen battles, and had been preserved
by the late Capt. George Z. Ring up
to the time of his death. The relics
were received with great feeling, and
an unanimous vote of thanks was
passed, which is to be presented in
due form to the wife of that brave
and gallant soldier. New Orleans

RuMoRs OF A RAILROAD WAR.

For some days past rumors have been
abroad that a fight was in prospect be-
tween the Union Pacific and Atchison,
Topeka s. Santa Fe roads for west-bound
passenger business Such q war is
hardly possible, however, at present as
the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific
roads are looked upon as sound friends
of the u. r, and until the Santa Fe has
an independent line into San Francisco,
disruption of rates would be disas-
trous. The Chicago Tribune, in CON-
menting on the situation, says it is
known that the Union Pacific people
have felt dissatisfied with a nun Der of
matters that have arisen since the open
ing of the new Southern Pacific route,
among which may be mentioned the cir
cumstance that person can travel from
Chicago to San Francisco by the way of
Kansas City and the new route to the
coast cheaper than by the way OF Oma-
la, something for which the new line to
the coast is not at all responsible. But

COMMENTARIES.

The action of several of our ieading
citizens in subscribing 80 literally 10 the
capital stock of the Kansas City & EN-
poria railroad, is certainly commendablc.
II has been n rather serious question
how Emporla's share to aid the build
ing Of the road was to be raised. Our
city being heavily bonded, city aid
seemed impossible. 1t is not probable
that county bonds could have been vot-
ell for this enterprise, because the road
will only pass through two townships;
therefore IL was resolved to raise the
amount in these townships. Jackson
tow nship voted bonds, and The result OF
Saturday nights meeting settled the
question in n very satisfactory manner
