IOrgRniC Weakness

Immediately cured aud full vigor restored. This
aff1iction-whch renders life burden and mar
riage impossible-is the penalty paid by the vic
tim of improper indulgence. Young persons
are too apt to commit excuses from not being
aware of the terrible consequences that may en-
sue. Now who that understands this subject,
will deny that pro-creation is lost sooner by
those falling into improper habits than by the
prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleas
ure of healthy offspring the most serious and de-
structiyc symptoms of both mind and body
arise. The system becomes deranged, and phys
zeal and mental functions weakened, loss of pro-
creative power nervous irritability, dyspepsia,
pt.lpi alton of the heart Indigestion, conStitu-
tional debility, wasting of the frame, cough,
consumntion, decay and death.

The NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
There will be 401 votes in the next
Electoral College, POI being necessary for
choice. The fifteen States of New
York, Ohio Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska New Hampshire,
Vermont, Wisconsin and Rhode Island
furnish precisely the requisite number. Ii

the other twenty-three including Indiana,

doubtful states in the list of fifteen
enumerated above are New York and
Ohio. If the Republicans should lose
New York and Ohio they would have to
carry all the states mentioned in the sec
ond list, and eight more votes besides, to
win. ST. Louis Globe-DemOcrdt.
The FEES GIVEN AWAY BY AN EN-
GLIsH PRINCE-Among the items in the
estimate of expenses for the Duke of Ed

$1,000 for "gratuities." People who
think this amount is exOrbitant will per.

that when the Emperor Nicholas visited
the Queen at Windsor Castle, in 1874, he
gave $4,000 to the servants and Fl 900

snuff boxes, with his picture set in dia-

A SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.
An Aged Couple, Unable to Pay Their
Rent XIII Themselves to Escape the
Brutality of a ShylOck Landlord.


Brutality of ShylOck Landlord.
Baltimore Special, sOtA.
A CHASTITY discovery was made here this
morning IN house on West Pratt street.
lsadOre Ferdinand Plateau and his wife
an aged couple, were found dead in bed
and bottle labeled "Prussic acid - which
lay between them, told the cause of
their death. One month ago they rented
three rooms in the house of Geor0e
GOllnghorst, and the latter describes
the old man as very peculiar person.
lie did not pay his rent promptly, and ON
last Saturday GOlinghorst told him he
would either have to pay up or move. He
heard nothing more from them until this
morning, when, becoming alarmed at
their long silence and hearing doc bark
ing furiOusly in their apartments. Cor
hnghOrst summoned help, the door was
broken down and the dead bodies discoy-
cred in state of decomposition. They had
been dead about two days. The following
letter, addressed to the Coroner of Balti-
more, was found clutched in the dead
mans hand:
DEAR SIR consider it my duty to
notify you that and my wife were COM
PEELED to commit suicide by taking lauda-
mum. L arrived here from Richmond, Va.
TWO months ago, and could not find any
employment, and my means are all eX-
nausted. MIR. GOllnghOrst, my landlord
and his wife, whom l owe one months
rent So, treated me last Saturday night
III such shameful manner as could be
expected from the very lowest class
of Dutchmen, to which they belong,
who have been shipped as paupers
to this country. l begged both to
give me another weeks time and
offered security, but they acted as brutes
and would not listen to my most earnest
requests. l hope the few effects l leave
will pay our funeral expenses, and we
wish to be buried together. On the table
in my bed room l leave a watch, four
pawnbrOkers' tickets, etc. Yours,
ISIDORE FERDINAND PLATEAU,
OTTILIE PLATEAU, his wife.
GOlinghOrst denies having treated them
shabbily. Few things We're found in the
room excepting some old mahogany furni-
ture, several Bibles, prayer books and
dictionaries.
