ASUPPosED SUIcIDE.-The Baltimore San of
the 10th contained the following dispatch from
Darlington:
DARLINGTON, MD, May ia satchel was
found in the tow-path of the Susquehanna canal
to-day containing pair of trousers and a note
as follows: 81 am tired of life, and am going
to drown myself in the Susquehanna Whoever
finds this will let my sister know. Her address
is Mrs. G. A. Valley, Warren, Warren county,
Pa. Signed Alvia Debeck." No body has yet
been found.
Debeck was caught, short time ago, in the
act of robbing the dwelling house of Mr.. Daniel
Bay, near Pylesville, and was committed to Jail
to await the action of the grand jury. The
grand jury failed to find bill against him aud
he was discharged from Jail on Thursday oflast
week. 1t is not probable, however, that he has
committed suicide. The note found in the
satchel is doubtless hoax.

The protracted struggle in the Illinois
Legislature, ended, on Tuesday, by the cleo
ton of John A. Logan to the United States
Senate. The balloting began February Goth,
since which time Democratic Senator and
two members OF the House, one Republican
and one Democrat, have died. The latter
was succeeded by Republican, although the
district was strongly Democratic. This re.
suit was brought about by over confidence
on the part of the Democrats, many of whom
remained away from the polls, thinking their
votes were not needed. Logan will now
have another chance to air his spread eagle
oratory in the United States Senate. 1t will
be novel sensation for Black Jack to be
in the Senate with no hold upon the adj
ministration, and therefore no opportunity to
reward his followers with public offices.

Among those who have walked up to
find that change has taken place in the
management of public affairs at Wash
ington is John Roach, the noted contractor
and builder of war vessels. He recently
completed for the United States government
the Dolphin, which under the terms of his
contract was required to show certain
amount of speed and fulfil other conditions
named Secretary Whitney, of the Navy,
insists that the contract shall be complied
with literally, before accepting the vessel
Accordingly three trial trips have already
been made, and every time something has
gone wrong. Roach says all the trouble is
due to hot journals. Under Robeson's or
Chandeliers regime, Roach would have had
no difficulty in getting the vessel of his
hands. He doubtless regrets more than ever
that his friend Blaine was defeated.

Hayre de Grace Wants High License.

hh'io uc VLaCe JANUS nigh LlCcHSe.
The Havre de Grace Republican, which has
been for years an ardent supporter of local
option, speaking of the operation of the pro-
hibitory law in that city, says:
GAS far as suppressing the use and sale of
liquor is concerned, in this section, local option
is decided failure. The evidence iustifes
us in saying that there is as much liquor sold
and drunk in this city, as was under the IL
cense system, and the State is deriving no
revenue whatever from its sale. Givs us high
license"
From all accounts the local option law is
evaded, if not openly violated, in Havre de
Grace, and the courts have been unable to
bring offenders to justice. Witnesses who
are summoned to appear before the grand
jury fail to appear and when attachments are
issued frequently the witnesses can not be
found. When indictments for violating the
local option law are brought, it is extremely
difficult to secure conviction. Whisky is sold
and drunk under the name Of "ginger ale, u
&c, and the witnesses can readily and per.
haps truly swear that they do not know what
the compound was that they bought. Jures,
too, are inclined to overlook the point that it
is not necessary for the State to establish the
fact that whisky or any specific spirituous or
malt liquor was bought and sold, but merely
that the article was intoxicating. Until our
courts are aided by the people of the county,
the local option law can not be fully enforced

The Revised Old Testament Completed

lHc heflSeu Vlu Testament competed.
Copies of the revised Old Testament were
given to the London press last week and the
book will soon be ready for sale in this coun-
try. OF the revised New Testament million
copies were sold the day of publication and
more than three million copies before the
close of the year. The sales, however, have
aim ost entirely ceased 1t is not likely that
the same eagerness will be seen to procure
copies of the revised Old Testament. The
fact is, King James translation is so inter-
woven with the religious hopes and aspira
tions of glish-speaking peoples the world
over, that they regard any attempt to alter
the text, even for the purpose of conforming
more closely to the supposed meaning of the
original, as almost sacrlege. The revised
book Just completed, it is said, involves no
change in the Hebrew text, and the idiom of
the authorized version is judiciously preserv.
ed. All errors of translation, however, have
been carefully removed, according to the
views of the revisers. The Old and the New
Testament, as revised, will no doubt prove to
be valuable aids in reading the authorized
version but they can never take its place.
