 ''Wit and Wisdom of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfeld, "is the title of a volume containing collection of notable things in the writings and speeches of the late Earl. As competent critic well says: No great House of Commons orator ever made speeches which lent themselves so readily to selection as those of Lord Beaconsfield. In fact they were series of epigrams and the an- ticipation of the enjoyment of a squib' gave them their chief interest. alike to hearers and readers. What is true of the speeches is even truer of the novels. Although some of the extracts given in the present compilation cover two pages, what makes the book en- joyable is the phrases and brief epigrams which it contains" They are intelligently selected, we'll arranged and thoroughly in- dexed, and the book is a very entertaining one. Published by D. Appleton & Co.,, New York city, and for sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 ''The Bloody Chasm," by J. W. DeForest, is bright and amusing novel. The women of the story are sontherners Virginia Beau fort is the sole survivor of an old South Car oliHa family, the proudest of proud line.

The husband of her aunt, now widower and wealthy mer chant in Boston, discovers her in poverty in Charleston, and with desire to do her good offers to leave her half his for tune on condition that she marries his nephew, Henry Underhill, the latter to have the other half She refuses to accept northern dollars" The uncle dies and Un- offers to marry Miss Beaufort, though he had never seen her and though his uncle's for tune was all his in case he did not marry her. Virginia refused to marry him at first, but by the efforts of friends was induced to yield, the conditions being that the marriage should be by night and neither party to the wedding to see the other. They married and each having half the uncle's prop erty Underhin subsequently, won his wife in Paris having been introduced to her Confederate officer. She having never seen h1m he needed no disguise. The bookis not, as might be thought from it's title, political one It is thoroughly interesting and will much increase its authors fame.

An effort was made in the Board of Alder men last evening to put off the time of vot- ing on the Water question from November 8 to December 6. This effort was not success full, and if another one is made it is to be hoped that 1t will also be defeated. There is no necessity for any postponement. The question is as we'll understood by the voters as it would be in a month or two months from now, and they can take care of their own interests as well on November 8 on December 6. Moreover, if the voting is postponed to the latter date it will be mixed up with city politics, and there is no general desire for any more politics in the Water question than we have now. Still another and very important reason why the vote should be soon taken, is the fact that either the company or the city must go to work speedily to make improvements which can- not longer be delayed if we are to have an adequate water supply. The company is ready to begin work if the city does not take it's property, and it is but fair that it should know what is to be done soon as possible. If the city does buy, it should do it immediately, and then immediately do the work which is imperatively necessary. Let us have no further delay In this important matter

Shocking Suicide.
T he Wife of New York Merchant Cuts
 Her Own Throat.

From the New York Herald.
 MT. John Smith, a wealthy merchant of New York city, married Miss Harriet Post of Nyack,. N. Y, some months ago. She was an estimable lady, about 35 years of age, and belonged to the best circles of Nyack The happy couple removed to New York, but spent the summer in the country boarding in the farm house of MT. Gardner in Upper Montclair, N. J. Mir. Smith was devoted husband and nothing marred the happiness of the couple until Mrs. Smith betrayed symptoms of mental Arrangement She was thereupon carefully guarded. Until Satur- day last she had manifested no tendency to violence. On that day she requested her husband not to go to New York, as she had been tried, convicted and hanged. MT. Smith therefore stayed in Upper Mont clair that day to watch his wife but she eluded his vigilance shortly before noon and made an attempt to drown herself in a neighboring creek. She was standing breast deep in the water when discovered and res cued. If the afternoon she endeavored to borrow her husbands pocket knife, but was of course refused. Toward evening she be- came quiet, and when she asked Mrs. Gard ner to lend her pocket knife her request was acceded to. No sooner had she got the weapon in her hand than she plunged it into the right side of her neck and then drew the blade across her throat to the left, infiicting & horrible gash. Her attendants tied up the wounds to the best of their ability and drove in haste with her to Paterson. In that city she was placed in St. Joseph's hospital Dr. Hurd was summoned. He found the larynx and the epiglottis and the surrounding mus cular Gssnes ant. @Tb@ jugnlar vein had been grazed by the knife. Near midnight the doctor left Mrs. Smith tied to her bed, as her paroxysms were continued uninterruptedly. The doctor had, however. not reached the gate of the hospital before he was summoned back by the cries of the Sisters of Charity. Fastening back he looked upon a shocking spectacle. Mrs. Smith had disengaged one of her hands and torn open the wound, and then seized the jugular vein and with one jerk severed it. All this was done so quickly that the sister in attendance was unable to deter the poor woman. Mrs. Smith died few seconds afterward

There was good deal of unjust talk dur 1 ing the week following the Presidents death about the way our national bereav ement was treated by the German court. When the German minister, MT. Won Schlozer, arrived at Washington last week, his first official act was to convey to the President, in behalf of the ! Emperor, the Grown Prince and their families, l the deep interest they felt in the Presidents 1 illness, their sorrow on learning of his death, | and their deep sympathy with his family and
 the nation. The whole German people had partaken of their sorrow. The minister re-
 peated that he had been charged emphatical-
 ly to give full expression to this feeling, The Atlanta Constitution, aroused by the
 protectionist doctrines of Senator Voorhees,
 and the utterances of Chattanooga paper
 which is eager for protection for the iron
 men of it's vicinity, defines its position upon
 the question. The contention of the Consti-
 tntton is that the Chattanooga paper has too
 soon and too emphatically declared the ad-
 hesion of the Consultation to the theory of
 protection and it puts it's real doctrine in
 very true and sensible language: "A total
 abolition of protective duties is not to be
 thought of'' ''The theory of free trade is
 perfect, but the theory can only be put in
 practice when all the commercial nations of
 the earth shall see fit to break down the bar
 riers which have been erected by such fal- lacies as those which have taken possession of the Chattanooga paper" The Constitu- ton is in favor of revision of the tariff, hut hat free trade.
 The PaH IHaB Gazette, very intelligent critic of American financial and industrial interests, is suspicious of some of the boom | ing enterprises in this country, and is dis 1 posed to question their soundness. It says: : | Eff it be true, as American newspapers 1 state, that within the past eighteen months | 2O,000,OO0 to e25, ,OOO 900 has been sub- | scribed in the northern part of the Union | and in Europe to southern enterprise then, indeed, the spirit of speculation is all-pre- vailing. That the southern States are cap- able of much development is no doubt true, but that there is room in them for so sudden an absorption of the amount of new capital in joint stock undertakings we do not be- lieve. These States are not desert wastes, that offer strong temptations to the land job bers, nor are they territories devoid of capi- tal Ever since the secession war they have been slowly recovering from the devastation it caused, and in an agricultural sense are probably more prosperous than they were then. They grow more cotton and more tobacco, and private enterprise is developing in one or two of them new industries, or trying to do so, for the attempt is nearly as often disastrous as the reverse.

This committee is clothed with full powers of negotiation and settlement in behalf of the holders who reg ister with them the amount of their risk.
