BY HIS W HANDS.

Eek President Balmaceda, o
Chill, committed suicide by shoot
ng himself through the temple
i'll his room i'll the Argentine lega
ton in Santiago, Saturday morn
ing, September 18th.
His death created great rejoic,
ing in Santiago and Valparaiso
the latter city was brilliantly iIlu-
minated, and excited crowds OF
people gathered around the Ar.
gentine legation in Santiago, boot
ed, cheered and went into a frenzy
over the event. The EX-dictator
left a statement to the New York
Herald in which he claims to have
acted for the good of Chill; to res
cue his country from foreign dom
ination and to make her the first
republic in America-that he was
compelled to sanction certain acts,
but many bad deeds of cruelty at
trlbuted to his orders were never
known to him until committed /;
that the American minister, Mr..
Patrick Egan, many times urged
him to make peace with those OPP
posed to him and retire from
but he thought he was under
the influence Of theJunta, who were
hen refugees in the American le-
cation. and his closest advisers
we're always opposed to any over
.ures Of peace that victory was
assured TO him by his Generals
.Alcerecca, BarboSa and Veil, but
hey all lied and only pretended
friendship for the money to be
out of him.
Balmaceda's body was removed
o the general cemetery, accompa-
led by members of the family
nd friends.

almost its sole support. He was
conscientiously plOus and extreme
ly charitable and benevolent, and
those, in whose midst he has lived
for so many years, will keenly feel
his absence.
On Wednesday Of lat week his
daughter, Mrs. DR.. 4. l.. Myers,
died at her home in Meridian and
this, no doubt, tended to hasten
his demise.
His remains were Inferred On
Tuesday with the usual religious
ceremonies conducted by Rev. j.
N. Smith of Haltlesburg aud at

friends.

of the family who survive him
his widow, his son, our worthy sher-

of bereavement. The Almighty
has bleSt him whom they loved 20
with a long HE OF happI-
ness and usefulness, er abled him
to render so many others righteous,
happy and prosperous, and has
doubtless enriched him with an in

Der OF persons from the Moth and

stated that this is caused by a

drawn that the desire 10 come

the accounts of those who have
tried the experiment and many of
whom are a. regular in their re-
turn in November as our summer
visitors are in June of each year.
They quietly come, select places
most suitable to their different
tastes and requirements, and
make themselves for the time be-
