His Last Meal.
London TIeLeornph.

Hugo Grundel, young Viennese shop
man, is fairly entitled 10 a prominent
position as one of the more eccentric
suicides of latter days. Worldly matters
had gone badly with this unfortunate
youth for some time past, and it would
appear that, about a week ago, he found
himself without employment, heavily in
debt, and almost impecunious. Such
being his intolerable condition, he re-
solved to die, but not of hunger. On
the contrary, he made up his mind
to enjoy one hearty meal, and
then to quit the world upon full
stomach He therefore betook himself
to Zogernitzs restaurant, in the Schot-
tengasse. and ordered a sumptuous re-
past How vigorous was his appetite
may be gathered from the fact that he
spent nearly two hours at table, during
which time he consumed a golasch with
dumplineG, dishful of stewed kidneys,
a huge black pudding. an entire portion
of braised beef, four small loaYes, quart
of lager beer and three pints of claret.
When he had finished this Gargan-
tuesque meal he carefully folded up
his napkin, laid it on the table beside his
empty plate, drew revolver out of his
breast pocket, and setting the muzzle of
the weapon against his left breast, shot
himself through the heart, His dinner
bill was paid next day by near rela
tue, who identified his body at the dead
house, to which it was conveyed from
the restaurant, and who, having been
made acquainted with the peculiar cir
cumstances of the suicide, honorably
hastened to discharge Hugo Grundel's
last earthly liability.

Simple remedies are often the best.

Simple remedies are often the best. A
correspondent of the New York Sun
writes as follows; Ia 1862, on a planta-
tion in South Alabama, where there was
great difficulty in securing good medical
advice, l saw a whole plantation of
blacks, as well as the white members of
large family, successfully treated for
diphtheria with kerosene oil and salt,
used thus; Every patient was given a
lump of rock salt about the size of
boys marble, and instructed to keep it
in his or her mouth, swallowing the
salty saliva. At the same time the throat
was rubbed with kerosene oil, and a
flannel saturated with kerosene kept
around the neck, until the symptoms
were abated or entirely gone. If Deces-
sary, mild cathartics were given. Not a
case was lost. and there were fully one
hundred in all on the plantation
