At o'clock to-day Mr.. James Ander.
son, young man of twenty.four years,
from Oxford, Miss, who has been clerk.
ing for II. M. Knox, the druggist, at the
corner OF Second and Mill streets, DELHI
erately committed suicide. At the hour
named persons in the vicinity of the
store were startled by the report of a
pistol shot coming from the store room
in the rear of the building, and rushing
to the place they found that the Young
man had committed suicide by shooting
himself through the temple,
A note was found addressed to DR..
Knox, which is nearly as follows:
DR.. Knox:
DEAR SIR-Tell father il he wants the
body, to send for it, and if not, throw it
in the bayou, or do as you wish. If any
one asks the reason for this, tell them
none of their business. feel very thank
full to you and Mrs. Knox for Kindness,
also Mr.. and Mrs. Crosson, and last but
not least, Miss Matte, I know I have
done you dirty trick by doing this but
it could not be helped.
Yours to the last,
JAMES ANDERSON.
Esquire Buttenburg held an inquestt
No cause is assigned for the deed, though
it is supposed that love affair in which
disappointment was followed by despon-
dency led.to the rash act. Mr.. Anderson
is said to belong to good family. His
habits were good and he enjoyed the
respect Of all the acquaintance he made
in Memphis. He evidently went about
the work quite deliberately. Dr.. Knox
told him to do some thing about the
store and hardly missed him until the
pistol shot was family heard and caused
the alarm. He was nearly dead when
found, as he no doubt wished to be.

very peculiar property has recently been
discovered in the rock of mountain seven
miles from the town of Santa Cruz This rock
is heavily charged with electricity and when APP
piled to battery was found to produce strong
electric currents A small handful of this rock
applied in battery generated sufficient electric
force to operate the battery for three weeks, and
appeared not the least exhausted of its powers
This rock has very much the appearance of or
binary soapstone. and exists in immense ouanti-
ties, constituting the principal mass Of the
mountain. Its strange property was accident
ally discovered by man who was experiment
ing with mineral water on the mountain, and,
having occasion to use some of this rock placed
it in contact with the battery. The man who
made this wonderful discovery kept it a pro-
found secret from the world until he and one or
two of his confidential friends had obtained a
title to the portion of the land, paying $4,000
therefor. The present owners are now expert
menting with the rock with view to thoroughly
testing its properties

Portland Correspondence New York Mail and Express
Just now there is good deal of talk about the
Third Party"-meaning the followers of Neal
Dow, who is at present amusing himself and the
Democrats by masking faces at the Republican
party which he is no longer able to bulldoze at
his own sweet will
AS one evidence of his power. am told that
at the last local election in Biddeford, lively
manufacturing town, the third party polieG ex-
actly twelve votes-three of these being cast by
men SO drunk that it was necessary TO help them
to the polls. If this is true this trio evidently
had internal evidences of the necessity of pro-
hibition, so far as they were concerned. More
likely it is campaign lie.
At any rate, Neal Dow Is working with great
vigor to smash the Republican party, and there
is much difference of opinion as to what results
he will show at the State election this fall
Speaking Of Neal Dow one of the Oldest,
ablest and an entirely conscientious supporter of
the strlctest prohibition legislation, said to
''Neal Dow is in his dotage. He doesn't know
how big a fool he is making of himself. Two
winters ago he came to Augusta with a bill Gov
ering a long list OF amendments to the present
law making it more cast-iron than ever Some
of these amendments were unconstitutional, and
others were simply ridiculous No Legislature
in the world would have passed this BILL and if it
could have been made a law, it could never have
been enforced. The Republicans saw how weak
and silly his desired legislation was and refused
to make asses of themselves by attempting to
PASS it. Now he is trying to ruin because he
couldn't rule. I'm for prohibition, heart and
soul. but have too high an opinion of the Re-
publicans of Maine to believe that any number
of them will back him up in his present move
mento
The papers recently published an item to the
effect that Governor Wetmore. of the newly
hedged prohibition Rhode Island, has the finest
stock of wines In the State. TO match this,
ana told by q personal friend of Governor Robie.
of Maine. that it was since he became chief ex-
ecutive of this dyedn the-wool Prohibition State
that he has learned to appreciate the liquid
pleasures of life.
