Some persons passing through the Agricul-
tural grounds yesterday afternoon about A
O'Clock found young man lying on the grass
with handkerchief twisted tightly around
his neck. officer Shilling arrived on the
scene short time after, and recognized the
young man as Frank Carr. son of Mr.. John
w. Carr, the painter, of No. 42S Eleventh
street northwest. A conveyance was obtained
and MI. Carr was removed to his home, and
DR.. Adams called in. 1t was thought at first
that the young man had attempted suicide
hut tho doctor stated that such was not the
case, as tho handk erchief was twisted in such
a manner as TO make it impossible that he had
lnsensible, and on being asked about the oc-
curronoo later in the evening he refused to
say any thing about it. No cause was assigned
for his supposed attempt at suicide and the
parents refused to talk of the subject.

Gambetta's Death-A Feeling of Reli4 f
 Statesman.
 BERLIN, Jan. 3-The utmost satisfac ton with which the German press view the death of Gambetta indicates clearly enough how greatly he was feared as factor in European politics. A similar feeling of relief was openly expressed here over the sudden demise of General Skobelef last year. Both men had incurred the bitter enmity of Ger many. Both died at a rather critical period as regarded the political situation and yet unexplained mystery surrounds their deaths. Both it is suspected died ct the hand of wo- men in private and under circumstances which give but faint hopes of the solution of the mystery of their sttaking off," and this at time when Germany, believing herself menaced on the one side by France and on the other by Russia, is straining her every resource to increase and strengthen her al- ready enormous armaments. The Ily-con cealed rejoicing shown by the editorial com ments in the German papers on the death of Gambetta is extremely significant in view of the strained relations now existing between Germany and Russia and the increasing mili tary preraraa5ns for guarding the frontier. It is v fesEntly believed here that the elimina ton e 'lthe French political problem of the t leader of the Republican party is like. ve that eountrv, with enough internal ana 14EsionaI quest @ls on hand to prevent any possibility of her interfering in the obviously impending European conflict.
 PARIS, Jan. 3.-The funeral of M. Gambetta has been postponed until Saturday. As his father insists that the interment shall be at Nice the body will be taken there after the State funeral in Paris

 CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-In the Illinois Senate at Springfield the defection from the Republi- can caucus last night was carried to the ex- tent of defeating the organization to-day. A motion to postpone the organization was car ried. In the House all the members respond ed to the roll call, and the temporary or ganization was effected by the Republicans with Thomas Mitchell for Speaker pro te0a. Good feeling prevails among the members of the House. The Senatorship contest will soon begin, engaging the undivided attention of the Legislators. Governor Oglesby has arrived, and his boom is growing. Governor Cullom will make a vigorous fight. He has all the State patronageoa mighty machine behind him, and is seconded by the sharpest politicians and strong influence of Spring field General Raum has, on the other hand, tho federal patronage at his back, and the internal revenue bureau is whooping it up for him vigorously. Ex-Governor Ogles by has no machine, but believes himself the choice of the people.

Profits of Ostrich Farming.

At the regular meeting of the Farmers club at Cooper's Institute, Tuesday afternoon, paper on ''Ostrich farming and it's pros poets of success in this country was read by 0. J. Sketchley, who has, had considerable ex- perience in the business at Cape Colony, Africa. Mir. Sketchley began his remarks by giving the origin of the industry of the cape. He spoke substantially as follows:
 "Feathers to the amount of $6, 250, 900 are exported from South Africa every year. Nine-tenths of these feathers are taken from tame birds. I hope to be able to convince you before finish these remarks that os- triches pay considerably better than any other kind of live stock. The breeding Is managed in the following way A pair of birds which cost at the cape from $750 to $1, 200. or what we call set, that is, 8 cock and two hens, are enclosed in a paddock varying in size from forty by sixty yards to two acres. If the birds in good condition they will soon begin to lay. Then the eggs are taken from them and put into an incubat- or for matching. They will lay thirty eggs before setting, and if well fed begin again in two or three weeks. The number of eggs each bird will lay varies from forty to ninety year. One set of three birds, a cock and two hens, from June 30, 1872, to Juno 30, 1S73 laid 164 eggs, which produced 133 chicks of these Is died, leaving 115 young birds. Of these "A were sold at months old for ZIG each, and allowing the remaining LO D6 WOEbu Ouly 11A 0dCL, WS AdN5 u IS- turn of e1 ,676 from one set of birds. The next year the same set laid 113 eggs, produc- ing v chicks, and the first six months of the third year they laid 97 eggs, producing 81 chicks. The average increase is from 30 to 45 chickens from each pair. The chickens are worth when month old from $40 to $6O each; year old, $1O0 two years old, $50; four years old, from $20O to $25O. At five years, when they begin to lay, they are worth from $500 to $1,OO0 year. The chickens require careful attention for the first three months, after which time until breeding they are run in flock like sheep and mustered for plucking every seven months. Each pair of full grown birds will furnish feathers worth $60 at each period of plucking, or $120 worth every fourteen months The white ostrich feathers bring in the London markets from $50 to $150 pound. The diseases to which ostriches are liable are few.
 ''From what I have seen of California I believe 1t would be a good place for the ostriches. They might do well also in Vir- ginia, Florida, Texas and Colorado, and in some ether parts of the country. It is pro- posed 10 form a company in this ci y for the breeding of these birds in California. A capital of $25,OOO only will be required to begin with"
 Rev J. J. Lightourn said that he was not in favor of raising ostriches for their feath- CTS, as such an industry only fostered vanity and extravaganza. Dr. J. Protheroe, who brought twenty of the birds from Buenos Ayres to Central Park, was present at the meeting, and he spoke of their habits.
