An Epidemic of Suicide In Europe.

All Europe, especially Paris and Lon don, is suffering from an epidemic of suicide, which is greater than that of two years ago, and therefore quite un- precedented. Ten or more per day is 8 low average in each city. The most TO- mantle suicide story comes from Brunn, where a journeyman baker and his sweetheart determined upon suicide by drowning in the Schwartz river. The young man was out of work and saw no prospect of being able to get married. The couple carried out their resolve, and their bodies were found ill the river The pockets of the yonng man were searched, and in them were found one florin and a lottery ticket A few days afterward the drawing in tho lot tery took place and that ticket was the winner of 20,00o florins. or about $10, : 900.

LONE GRAND, SWEET SONG.
Song Writer Deering Inspired by Mir.
 CIeve1and's Letter

Every man happily married remem- bers Grover Cleveland's letter to his friend, John Temple Graves, of Rome, Ga, in which the president spoke of his married life as lone grand, sweet song. And it is not improbable that every man unhappily married remem- bers it too Edgar Deering of this city read that letter, and its sentiments much impressed him. Mir. Deering writes songs, so after filling himself with inspiration from the letter he sat down and wrote the words and music of a fine song, which he called Life Is One Grand, Sweet Song. 1t is as fol- lows:
 Life is one grand, sweet song That swells triumphant on our listening ears. Grandfy it's strains prolong, Re-echoing sweetly o'er the rolling years It's cadence reaches to earth's remotest bound As it's tale of love and joy it tells. Wherever love finds its own twill there Be
 found
 Still weaving it's magic spells.
 CHORUS.
 Life is one grand, sweet song.
 Grandly its strains prolong,
 Bearing its message sweet,
 Telling of joy complete
 Life is one grand sweet song,
 Thrilling our souls with joy.
 Life is enc grand, sweet song
 That tells of love without alloy. Life is one grand, sweet song That loving hearts each to each are singing, Telling in accents strong
 The message sweet that it is bringing. As long as soul toueheth soul with love divine, Fen when life no longer thrills the clay, We'll have sweet converse together at the
 shrine
 Of love in that perfect day
 Then MT. Deering sent copy of the song and oongratulatory letter to MT. Cleveland. Now he proudly exhibits this answer from the president:
 GRAY GABLES, Buzzards Bay Mass. Edgar Deering:
 DEAR SIR-I have received tho music you kindly sent me and desire to thank you for it and the friendly expressions contained in the accompanying letter. Yours very truly,

WILL. TRY AGAIN.
Another Big Log Raft to Be Towed From
 Oregon tu San Francisco.


 Another big leg raft experiment. is being made on tho Pacific coast It will be remembered that several enormous rafts, containing very many thousand feet of lumber, have been started in an ocean tow from Oregon for San Fran cisco, but only one OF two at most have reached their destination The others went to pieces iii gales.
 The last experiment. of the kind was made about 8 year age, with the largest raft ever built for such trip. The raft got two-thirds of the way safely, but was then caught i'll ! heavy gale and went to pieces off Coos hay, and the logs of which it was composed foated ashore ali along the coast A raft of al- most equal size was launched at Stella, a village 20 miles from the mouth of the Columbia river, some days ago, and after being foated across the bar is to be taken in tow by the big steam collier Mineola, bound for San Frdncisco.
 The great profit to be made ill the say ing of transportation charges is consider. ed to be worth the risk, and the owners of this raft think they have profited enough by previous failures to make the venture a success. Now York Sun.
