RnIIet Near MS 1fenrt.


One OF the most curious instances Of tenacity ~
life is furnished by the case Of Nj August Me-
buhr, the German tailor at 800 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, Of whose attempt at suicide
several weeks ago THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
made mention. The possibility then spoken OF,
That the man, owing TO the pecuYarlty 9i the
wound, might surv i've. has been fully verified by
his present condition, Mr.. Eiebuhr. having ex-
perlenced considerable relief from his dropsy, on
account of which he had been discharged from tho
hospital as inourable while the wound caused 6y
This dangerous operation uponhim has completely
healed, the broken rib being also in fair condition.
The probing OF the wound soon after the shooting
proved the ball to have lodged close to the heart,
being probably encysted In the fatty degeneta-
tiun usually forming In dropsical cases. ltseems,
however, that the unfortunate man cannot escape
the sea of troubles" " in his path Of life. AMER
spending his meager savings from his trade in
hospital and upon the sick bed, the near future
threatens him and his wife with absolute want
unless kindly.disposed people will aid him IN sus-
tanning life that was evidently not to be termi-
mated at his own hands. The hosts OF our chart
table people ought and will surely take this re-
markable case in hand,

London Letter to Sau Francisco Argonaut.
will picture TO you an English girl Ev-
ing in ons OF the southern countries of
Englaud. She is one of the prottiest girls
III England, has 5000 year in her own
right, is just twenty three sand the daughtir
Of a race whose pedigree goes back to the
Conquest, and whose country house is the
show piece of the country. To look at her
you would think her the quietest of the
quiet. and that she hadn't an idea beyond
crotchet and weak tea. But she hunts, has
has her stable, keeps four hunters, and now
and then rides a steeplechase, buys and
sells her own horses without help from
any one; her own merchant, wine cellar
and 5obacconist; fences, boxes, skates and
rows; has her bOUdoir decorated with foils,
gloves, whips, horseshoes and hunting
trophies; smokes cigarettes during the day
and cigars after dinner; is capital Judge
CT ciaret and port. and can tell Anontillado
from MaTsala with her eyes shat; is q first
rate shot with shotgun CT rock rife; draws
her own charges and pays her own bills.
She hiss never been to Hirt; has re-
fused more offers than the Quiet ever
dreamed of receiving, and once, it is relat-
ed, taught the prince of Wales a lesson by
stopping IN the middle Of q valse with him
at state ball at Buckingham palace, and
refusing to go on because ne held her
tighter than she considered proper. You
can't call girl like that fast. But she
knows enough to take care OF herself, and
if her companionship with the young
svells of tbs day, and her imitation of their
ways has taught her to prefer their friend
ship to their love, it is not unlikely she is
nearor right III her estimate Of her fellow
beings than are the dragonesses of pro-
priety who regard her with abhorance, but
are willing to sell their bashful maidens to
the first scapegrace whose establishment
and rent-ron make him desirable part.
