Cowardice of Suicide.
Item

Scarcely a day goes by without a
suicide or two. Statistics show that
self-destruction has always taken the
form of an epidemic, and sooth to
say, it is on the increase rather than
on the decrease. There is something
SO utterly selfish in suicide that one
cannot help mingling contempt with
pity for the wretch who has commit
ted it. Hamlet was in doubt as to
the nobility of suffering in silent
fertitude on earth rather than flying
TO the other world for rest and doubt
full relief from the ills that flesh are
heir to. Shakespeare preached a
homily on this theme in an uncertain
strain; not SO the poet philosophers of
more ancient and modern date.
Massinger wrote that "He's not VAL
liant that dares to die, bat he that
nobly bears calamity" Martial
stated that the coward sneaks to
death; the brave lives when all the
Establishments of life are gone; and
barley call selfslaughter a poor souled
piece of heroism. Even old Arts
totle condemned suicide, and urged
that it was cOwardice to shun the
trials and crosses of life and to seek
refuge from them in death. All the
wisdom of the ripper sages cries out
against felo de sc, and everybody adj
mits unreservedly that the married
man who puts a period to his miser-
able existence and leaves his wife
and HELPLESS children to battle with
the world he dared not face, was too
mean to live and too despicable to
mourn.

Peter Cooper and the Bishop.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says that in a talk with
Peter Cooper a short time ago the
venerable philanthropist told him of
the following incident: II have
just hsd a curious caller-an Episco-
pal bishop, who came to see if l
would not join some evangelical
church, so that when I came to die
nobody should say that the Cooper
Union was established by an atheist
or infidel. I told him I was not an
atheist or infidel; that l was a Uni
tartan in belief; l knew of no object
of worship except the one living and
true God; and ! considered religion
nothing more nor less than a science
by which the movements of the
material and moral world could be
regulated, and that l knew no better
teacher than the opinions of man
kind. He politely said that he per-
ceived that / was a scholar. This
compliment l was obliged to decline,
and l told him l had never been to
school more than three or four
months in all my life. I'll had my
way, [ told him, the worst of the
human race, the most depraved
wretches, should wake up in another
life, not in torment, but IN the midst
of loving friends and beautiful
things. The good bishop did not
even try to convert me to any better
theology, but he went away with
every expression of kindness-kind-
ness which I am sure he telt.u

Paducah News.


PaOlcan news. i
A ball on Washington street, at
which a number of colored bellies and
beaux were chasing away the glow
ing hours with flying feet, came to a
sudden and abrupt termination last
night. About IL o'clock, when the
merriment was at its height, a rap
came at the door, which suddenly
opened, and the gigantic figure of q
woman, without either head or arms,
stalked in among the happy throng.
The music stopped, and the whole
company stared at. the astounding
apparition in speechless horror.
Then a wild yell rent the air, and
headlong out of the doors and win
dows plunged the terror-stricken,
shrieking negroes-rolling, tumbling,
crawling and scranlbling over each
other in their mad flight. The room
was cleared as speedily as if the floor
had Unexpectedly opened up and
dropped the whole party into the
cellar. A gentleman, whose cook
was one of the dancers, relates that
he was just on the point of retiring
when the girl fell in at the door and,
sprawling OIL the floor, tainted dead
away. It took him and his good
wife three-quarters of an hour to
bring her to life again, and this
morning she declares vehemently
that she will never go to another
dance as long as she lives. "She's
dun had her warnin.'" It is quite
probable that a white neighbor, who
was annoyed by the racket made by
the darkies in their noisy festivities.
could tell all about ''dat ghostess" If
be wanted to.

An Anecdote Of Jenny Lind.

Lucy Hamilton Hooper, in a re
cent Paris letter, tells the following
anecdOte of Jenny Lind:
IA Baron told me of a scene that
he witnessed at.the- opera long years
ago, the trial hearing of a pale, plain
girl, with abundant fair tresses and
great blue eyes. He brought, by his
description, the scen wildly before
me; the dimly lighted house, the
fair haired child upon the stage, and
and in the proscenium box, superb
and naughty, the splendid prima
donna of the day, Rosina Stoltz,
whose empire over the opera and the
heart of its manager was SO supreme
that none Of the operas composed for
the Grand Opera IN those days con-
tanned more than one female role of
any Importance, as witness La
FavOrita,' La RENE de Chypre,'
etc. The song ended, Madame Stoltz
leaned Ove and said something to
the manager, who advanced to the
young singer, expressing in polite
and empty phrases his regret that her
talent and her voice were unsuited
to the requirements of grand opera.
She heard him in silence, and, fold
ing her modest shawl about her, she
glided from the stage. Arrived at
the exit door, she looked back. Il
bid you adieu, Monsieur she said
quietly. One day you will implore
me to return, but / never will return.
l shall never sing again in Paris A
few years later, when every opera
house director in Paris was at that
young girls feet, praying her to &C.
cept any possible terms, the memory
of that night stood between her and
the Partisan public and deprived
Paris of the delight of ever listening
to the greatest singer of the century,
for the pale, ~blue-eyed maiden. was

A View OF Actresses.

Mr.. Labouchere recently said in an
article in Truth or the London
stage: Actresses live in q world Of
their own. They generally exagger-
ate every sentiment. Their real lite
is tinged with their theatrical life,
and high wrought melodrama be-
comes q second nature to them. Few
of them have a perfectly sane notion
of existence; they exist in the feeling
of the moment. They are generally
incapable of taking an interest in
the ordinary occupations of their
sex; at one moment they are In the
widest spirits, at another in the
depths of despair. and these with
whom they come in contact are in
their eyes alternately either melo.
dramatic, villains plotting their de-
struction or those angelic beings that
have no existence out of plays. II
they are asked why they love or
they hate, they insist that they are
endowed with q peculiar instinct,
and this instinct, which most people
would call unreasoning caprice, they
exalt as something far superior to
practical intelligence and glory in
being its submissive slaves. There
are certain qualities which go to
make an actress, and most of them
go to make a lunatic. ALI actresses
are, of course, not necessarily mad,
but if 1 were on ajury empanelled to
try an actress for murder / should
the inquiry with the feel
ing that nature had probably not
been lavish to her in that harmony
of intellectual powers which pro-
duces moral responsibility"

So Fond Of Dress and Parade.

Some horrid man said recently :
"Women are 80 frivolous, so fond of
dress, parade and show that they
would make of government an ever
lasting spectacular drama" "Possi-
bly," retOrts Mrs. Livermore, "but I
cannot remember to have seen
women walking delightedly for a
few hours in a torchlight procession,
through muddy streets, amid the
laundering of cannon, the flash of
rockets and the blaze of colored
I think I have never seen

to be exaggerated horse collars, their
heads supporting an infinite amount
Of fuss and feathers, and their padded

Mr.. Gould not having seen fit to
hang around Kansas City for two or
three days and tell the people all
about his intentions, good, bad and
Indifferent, the Times winds up a
long article as follows : "And for
weeks the Times has discussed jay
Gould only to see him mistake Kan
sas ti:y for asdeaf and dumb asylum.
We have p:red unto him and he has
declined to dance. We have invited
his condescension and we are re-
morselessly snubbed. He leaves not
even the promise of a water tank as
a sOuvenoir ofhis visit. He spurns our
hotels and the Gar himself could not
be more fearful of our cooking. He
found us radiant and hopeful; he
leaves us weary and Respondent.
Kansas City will go right on improv-
ing her railways, slaughtering the
portly pig, and developing her art re-
sources, but she cannot forget the
chilling influences of Mr.. Gould's
Arctic indifference. Were Kansas
City's heart to break to-day, there
would be found engraved thereon
these words: mot even a water
tank !"

In a Tight Fix.

John Lyons, a well-known citizen
Of this county, on Friday last, while
at work in the shaft of his mine near
Tres Alamos, had just put in a blast
and lighted the fuse, when, on reach
ing the top of the shaft, he behe!d
four mounted Apaches rapidly ap-
preaching. AS they saw him emerge
they increased their pace, and their
tiendish yells relieved Mr.. Lyons of
all doubts as to their Intentions to-
ward himself. For an instant he
was paralyzed with terror. Being
entirely unarmed, resistance was not
to be thought of, while escape was
equally impossible. HIS first i'm
pulse was to hurl himself into the
shaft and be blown to atoms by the
explosion of the blast, rather than
perish miserably at the hands of the
remorseless fiends who had him at
their mercy. These reflections occu-
pied only a moments time but the
Apaches were almost upon him.
Suddenly, with the instinct of dis
pair, Mr.. Lyons threw himself be-
hind a rock close at hand, and at the
same instant the blast at the bottom
of the shaft exploded with terrific
effect, throwing a shower of rock and
debris high in the air, which was
followed by a dense volume of smoke
rolling up from the shaft. The In
dams, who were now sure of their
victim, halted a moment at the un-
expected and 10 them mysterious
eruption, then, with a yell, net of
triumph, but of rage, mingled with
terror, wheeled their horses and GAL
loped off in the direction whence
they came.
Mr.. Lyons could at first scarcely
realize that he had escaped almost
miraculously from a horrible death,
but as soon as he had recovered from
his amazement departed for Tres
Alamos, meeting on the road a party
of neighbors going out to search for
his remains in the direction of the
mine, and not doubling but Mr..
had fallen a victim of savage
erocity.-TOnbstoneE pitaph.

Chicago Getting the Tall Build
ings Mania.
Chicapn Herald

Tall buildings are well enough, but
we doubt ifthey should be allowed
to run up like shot towers. The Pull
man Car Company are about to
build one on Michigan avenue that
would seem to cap the climax. Let
us see. The basement and first three
stories are to be used for the Pullman
offices, the fourth story tor army
lead quarters. the fifth, sixth and
seventh stories for flats for the fami-
lies of Pullman employees, the eighth
and ninth for bachelor apartments,
the tenth story for a restaurant for
all who inhabit the building, and
over the tenth IS TO be a lovely glass
covered garden, full of tropical plants,
etc the same to be used for prone
nades on summer nights. This will
be getting up in the world with a
vengeance. The only thing likely
to make those neither regions habita-
BILE Or convenient will be a line of
ba looms sailing at short intervals to
carry the sky jewellers to mother
earth.

Russian Women and Children.

The crying evil in Russia, be it re-
membered, is, and will be, heaven
knows for how long, its scanty popu-
latiOn; and the main causes which
prevent its growth are the fearful
mortality among the children of ten
der age FORTY per cent. before the age
of five) and the forced barrenness of
the women. The women, especially
of the peasant class, usually marry
late in life-nOt It'll they have hard
ened their bones for their husbands
wOrk"-and they are crushed by UNI
considerable hard toll, both in their
girlhood and wifehood. Here, as in
Germany, a good help.mate is ex-
pected by her lord to be "as strong as
a mule" and her mulish strength is
not spared, even while she should be
entitled to the tenderest care. With
respect to the children, those of the
lower order, especially in the coun-
try, suffer from exposure to the cruel
climate, partly owing to the DOORS
cOnceit that it is well the weakling
should perish and only the hardy
survive, but in a great measure from
that dire necessity which bids power
ty sink or swim. But even anon
the well-tO-do people the children's
constitution is tempered with and
vitiated from the cradle by iDjudi-
cious coddling and cotting. For
the nursery, as we all know,
is an exclusively English institution,
and the children throughout the Con-
tinent, Germany, perhaps, excl pied,
are sacrificed to their parents blind
fondness, being made to share their
meals, to keep the late hours, and
join in the talk of grown-up people,
as much detriment arising
from the unsuitable diet as from the
unnatural precocity of their. mental
development. Hence, no where does
one sec so many, pale, thin, and puny,
as well as knowing children of the
upper classes, as throughout the
Cars dominiOns; nowhere do 80
many succumb to the treatment.
But, apart from the training of chill
dren in private families. even in the
founding hospitals of st. Petersburg
and Moscow, this latter harboring as
many as $4,000 inmates, and the
former providing for g, 900, we learn
from Murray's Handbook, which
lavishes the highest praise on the
vastness and munificence of those
public charities, that 1.-THE mortality |
among the children is very great"
and yet that 'too many ofthese lille |
Ultimate children are saved at the e,.-
pense of the lawful offspring of the
nurses, left at that critical age to be
brought up by hand in the villages"
50 little is the Russ fit to govern the
human beings even in the earliest
stage of its existence!-L0ndon

Women on the Police Force.

w. W. Gill in Sunday Home.
Queen Makea, of Razotouga, South
Pacific, indignant at the extent to
which intoxicating liquors were be-
ing introduced and sold, one day
called together her people and said:
"You constables were directed to put
down drink. You have winked at it.
In truth you are no use whatever
except to eat on feast days and to
share fines. I am a woman. Let
the staid middle-aged women of this
village be enrolled as a police force.
Perhaps they will have some regard
for my word" This novel plan (of
her own devising) has been tried for
some months, and s. far succeeds
remarkably well. Nothing escapes
the eyes of these women c~onstables.
About fifty Orange River barrels
have been given up and destroyed.
Most of these barrels had pet names.
The fact is, the drunkards are in
great CONSERVATION; several of them
have turned over a new leaf.
