A RECORD.

The sensations experienced by a suicide
during the process of dissolution resultant
from repeated doses OF a powerful narcotic
have hitherto been, for obvious reasons,
among the things unknown TO scientists.
Now, however, the would be shufiler-of
of this mortal coil can go about his bust
ness intelligently, knowing exactly what
il in store for him at each period of the
disintegration of the quantities of mind
and matter which enter into his being.
DIR. Waters, a physician. scientist, and
highly educated man, has committed sui
eide and has left as a legacy to science
and the world an explicit and highly in
teresting account OF the sensations attend
ant upon the partial destruction OF his
life by repeated doses of cocaine. Unfor-
tunately, the doctors observation Of the
physical and mental phenomena only ex-
tend to a certain point, where, despairing
of death and in great agony, he closes his
scientific running account by the an
nouncement that unable to move he has
decided to hasten death by means of a
revolver, which plan he successfully car
ried u
1t is to be regretted that the doctors
notes could not rave been continued to
the very door Of the beyond, but, as that
was impossible, the scientific world must
accept with thanks his wholly unique,
certainly disinterested, and very valuable
contribution. The doctor did not attain
his ambition, even in death, but he has
gone farther than any one before him
ever did, and it isn't his fault that his
CHASTITY record was not completed. Nature
guards her secrets after a certain point
from even the most determined of men.
DIR, Waters suicide was not in the in
terests of science, but his ~prolonGation of
the agony was, and the scientific world
should be thankful and self accusing at
the same time, inasmuch as his unique
chronicle is resultant from his failure to
attain appreciation and remuneration in
life. Their. is an unauthenticated account
Of n F~renchman's notes on the sensation
experienced during the horrible process
of suicide by lncineration of his spine,
but the material is not in the possession
of scientists, and DR.. Waters contribu-
ton, the only one of its kind, possesses
a multiplied, morbid, and scientific inter
est from its very uniqueness.

A NOBLE VETERAN.
The Last Survivor of the Fannin
Massacre Now in Fort Worth.

The Last Survivor of the Fannin
Massacre Now in Fort Worth.
There has been in the city several days
on visit to relatives and friends, in the
person of Capt. John @. Duval, a most
interesting character in the early history
of Texas. He was from Kentucky and
came to this state in com pany of his
brothers to assist the strugglers against
Mexico; and is the only survivor of the
great Fannin massacre, when several hun
dred Texans, after checking overwhelming
forces, and trying to get to the Alamo to
rescue Bowie, Travis and Crockett, were
induced by most liberal terms to surren-
der as prisoners of war, and then, when
unarmed, shot down like dogs without
warning. His escape and subsequent
adventures in seeking to join Houston at
San Jacinto were marvellous. His exploits
since as ranger and with surveying par
ties, on the frontier, would fill vol
ume of thrilling "reminiscences. He was
in Washington at the beginning of the
war, and despite allurements the other
way, entered the Confederate army, re-
fusing all offers of high promotion, and
served to the last. He is son of Gov
ernor Duval, of Florida, and brother of
the late United States judge of the
same name. Being possessed of
literary accomplishments and personally
familiar with the stirring scenes of Texas
history, the captain has written many
reminle cences and contributed no little
data to publications of interest to Texans.
He has just finished revising a work now
IN the press on early Texas history
Though 70 years old, the captain thinks
little of walking twenty-five miles day,
He has camped often on the site of Fort
Worth when only Indians and buffalo held
sway; and is struck with wonderment at
the progress, great advantages and magni-
ficent prospects of this city.
1t is but just to accord deserving no
tice of men of this description who, from
their proverbial modesty, are not proper
ly known and appre ciated. Future gen,
erations of Texas, after these men have
passed away, will ever dwell upon their
heroism.-Fort Worth Gazette.
