SAD SUICIDE.
Mrs. C. NJ. Ress. Of Baksr, Easss Nse
Misery Vita Morphine.

One of the saddest events We
have ever been called upon to
chronicle, is the suicide of Mrs. Q.
w Bass, of Hardup, Baker coun-
ty, under pnc,sliar,y sad circum-
stances.
The poor woman, bowed d6|E
under a loEd OF grief and mortitica-
ton, preferred to fly to ills she knew
not of than suffer those which shad-
owed her life. A VILE of twelve
years of sunshine and shadow in
which she bad endeavored to prove
helpmeet to her honest and de-
voted husband by some indescre-
tons excited his suspicion Of her
infdelity, and he charged her with
improper relations with one Lem
mox and separated from her last
Monday. The poor wounded Greats
ure protested her inn6cence. and
came, on Thursday, to Albany, Ill
company with an uncle, to eonsuis
a lawyer. Her uncle, while in the
city, drank to drunkenness and was
lodged in the calaboose, while she
searched the city over in vaiu for
him. Hearing nothing of him, she
left for home alone, about dark.
Upon reaching her home, the de-
jected woman sought to escape
from lies troubles by taking NOR
phine, and after lingering until
eight-o'clock, yesterday, she passed
the narrow river that divides time
from eternity.
Mr.. g. w. Bass, her husband,
made every provision for the de-
cent interment OF the mortal re-.
mains of her whom he had loved
in life, and whose sad ending
grieved him so sincerely.-Albany

About two weeks ago a farmer
was in Americas wanting $50, but
as he could not execute proper pa
pers failed TO get it. He went
home disconsolate. He had no
meat, no credit and was about to
give up in despair. He went off
into the woods and took long
prayer, and went home 70 his fam

water for his supper. As he wants

AN IMMENSE SEA COW.
A Strange Creature Which FINDS IFS
Home in the Yarn Edfsrs of the
CUR Stream.

There is now on exhibition at
the old Allen house, on jackson
street in Townsville, manatee or
sea cow. Captain w. H. Squires,
who exhibits this queer animal, is
an agreeable and communicative
gentleman. Said he to The Consti>
tuition man: This COW is ten
feet long and Weighs 1000 pounds.
His tail is twenty inches across.
We caught him in the inlet to the
st. Lucie river, which drains the
everglades of Florida. We used in
the capture a seine 800 feet long
made of inch rope. This is very
small COW. They grow from Is to
"a feet long and to weigh from
1000 to 5000 pounds. They are
very powerful and
OFTEN BREAK THE STRONG
rope of the seine like spool cotton
thread. We attempted to net one
fifeesn feet long just before we
caught this one, and he tore our
seine completely to pieces. Their
bones are like ivory and worth one
dollar pound. The meat in the
markets of HAVANA is considered
delieacy and sells at fifteen cents to
a twenty-five ceuts per pound.
'"There is but one live manatee
COW on exhibition in this country
besides this one, and he is at Jacks
sonville. Fla. There was Que,
known as old Colurabus, at the
geological gardens at Cincinnati,
but they killed and mounted him.
There was one also at Philadelphia,
but he died and was mounted. We
caught all OF them. Old Column.

weighed each two thousand pounds.
They make fearful struggle when
first caught but soon

and become very docile. Though
creatures of immense power, they
are easily controlled. They have
grinders and eat grass like a COW.
Theif eyes are about the size of a
buckshOt. The head tapers to d
point. There are two fiippers in
front. No legs behind. They nurse
their young, having six nipples on
each side. The sea COW is found at
only one place in North America,
the Jupiter inlet of the St. Lucic
river, on the coast of Florida. They
are found at but three places in
the world, the mouth of the Anna,
zon river, the mouth of the st.
Lucie river and near Cape Town,
on the cape OF Good Hope, in Al
RIGA. They seem to have their

IN THE wARw WATERS
Of the galf stream and its branches.
The gulf stream begins at the Ans
AEON river, and runs very near the
mouth of St. Lucie river, missing
at that point the shore only three
and a half miles. They leave the
gulf stream here in pairs and en-
ter the St. Lucie river to feed up
on the tender blades of the Mana>
tee grass. They leave in winter
aud return Wy pairs late in the
spring. Another curious thing
about this queer animal is that it
has one hair ahout halt inch long

in captivity they are kept in warm

Augustin DaIy's delightful comedy called
"A Night OF" was given at the Academy of

almost continuous laughter throughout.
The comedy is bit farcial, but never coarse
or indeliCate 1t is full of laughter and
bright wit from beginning to end. A dry old
university professor plans to have little
recreation. His wife is at the springs. lie
has written play and Snap actor is to pro-
duCe it. The professors wife does not ap-
prove of theaters. To get night off is the
desire OF the men and some women of the
comedy, and there are many clever and sur
prisiDg situations, complications and fun
making ClimsXes. This comedy was great
success at Mr. Days Theatre In New York
some years ago, 1t was first played here last
season by the company now doing It. Mrs
Eberie, as the stern and managing woman,
is simply perfect IN her part. She has the
secret Of comedy acting in being herself
genuinely SERIOUS and In dead earnest. Mrs
G II. Gilbert herself Of DAYS. could not
play Mrs. Babbitt better, The other ladies'
are handsome, good dresses and equal to the
