A Sham Attempt at Suicide.

Rumor has it that certain man in
town imbibed too freely of the "ardent"
last week, and while under its influence
he became so respondent that be thought
be would commit suicide and leave this
apparently cold and cherries world. He
called for his wife to bring him his razor,
asserting that he intended to cut his
throat with it. She, obliging wife that
she was, brought it, but he changed his
mind as to that mode of seyering con-
nection with the world, and concluded to
depart hence by the drowning route. He
proceeded to the we'll and got inside the
curb to hide himself, thinking that some
one of the family would rush up and try
to rescue him. No such attempt at
rescue was made, though. Unfortunate
ly for him, however, after getting inside
the curb, he happened to take hold of
rotten piece of timber, which broke and
let him drop into the well. 1t was not
long before he was calling out Justify for
"some one to run there and let down
rope for him, so that he could get out of
the id well; he didn't want to be
drowned-he was just trying to fool
them." The rope was let down to him
and he was drawn up to the top as wet as
drowned rat, with his "hankering"
after suicide entirely vanished. Since
then he has been as quiet as mouse, and
to mention suicide to him makes him
feel so mean that he almost feels like
going out and hanging himself anyhow.

In Contrast With Grant.

Gen. Lee. at the close of the war, re-.
ceived innumerable offers to engage in
commercial enterprises. Insurance COM
panies, railroads, and many large corpo-
rations at the South were anxious to pay
him any salary he might demand solely
for the use Of his name, without any
labor on his part, or the incurring of any
responsibility whatever. A committee
of EDglishmen, with the Duke of South
erland and Mr.. Beresford Hope at the
head, offered him in fee splendid estate
in one Of the midland counties of Eng
land, coupled with a guarantee of an III
come of $4,000 a year as long as he lived.
He gratefully declined all OF these offers,
and accepted the Presidency of the Wash
ington and Lee University at salary
of $4,000 a year. Here he earned his
living as the hardest worker in hard
working faculty in training the youth of
the country up to the very hour of the
paraletic stroke which Immediately pre-
ceeded his death.
Gen. Lee left three sons. They too re-
ceired many offers of a similar kind, and
likewise declined them. Two of these
sons are now prosperous planters in Vir-
ginia. The third succeeded his father in
the presidency of Washington and Lee
University, and has filled the position
with credit for the last thirteen years.
The true American spirit shines in
Gen. Lees example, the spirit which
prompted Washington and his Generals
when they retired from the public service
enriched only with the recollection of
their great achievements, and scorning to
make merchandise of their fame.-Letter

has been in existence or how many be-

known that some eight or ten belong to
it ranging in age from sixteen down.
They have accomplished a good many
deeds of theft and did not con6ne them
selves to any special thing but seemed to
take anything which came in their way.
Their robberies consisted Of watches,
knives, cuff buttons, silk handkerchiefs,
money, &c. They seemed to take a
special fancy for watches, several being
taken from one firm. How or when they
obtained the articles is yet mystery.
Some of the gang have made confessions

covered and more will be recovered to.

combs nj Last.

CI1ERAw, June 3.-James Coward,
who was shot and fatally wounded by w.
B. Cash on February 23 last, died last
evening at about 9 o'clock. From the
moment his physicians examined the
wound they had not the slightest hopes of
his recovery, but he held out to the last,
though all the while expressing his will
ingness to submit to the inevitable. He
has borne his suferings with remarkable
fortitude, although conscious that his
short life, The was only 25) would soon
be at an end. He was sadly missed from
among the ranks of his numerous friends,
by whom he was justly regarded as ge-
nial, clever companion.
During his illness Mr.. Coward never
uttered word expressive of ill.feeling
towards the author of his untimely end,
and never made remark which would
lead one to think that he ascribed the
shooting of himself by Cash to any
malicious motive. From long confne.
ment to his bed, owing to total paralysis
of the lower extremities, the immediate
effect of the wound, his body has been in
terrible condition. For some time past
the flesh has sloughed away from around
the left hip joint, thereby causing dislo.
cation of the hip joint, and exposing to
view the arteries and muscles which alone
connected that member with the trunk of
his body.
The sympathies of the community have
been with Mr. Coward ever since the
occurrence of the sad affair, and particu.
larly because as it is known he was in no
way connected in the difficulty between
Richards and Cash. So far as is known
he was on friendly terms with Cash and
was not particularly intimate with Rich
ards. His remains will be inferred in the
Cemetery of New Hope Church, near his
home in Marlboro County, and his
funeral will be largely attended.-Dis-
