SCARBOROUGH.  Shortly after noon 011 Wednesday a great sense lion was caused at Scarborough by the tows that ICouncillor J. Featherstone had committed suicide. He Wel much respectel .11 the town, and personally known to a very large number of the inhabitants, but it was not generally known that for the past few weeks he had been in ill-health, and much depressed in consequence. Dr. John Taylor, his medical adviser, recommended the family three weeks ago not to allow the deceased out of sight, but daring the past few days his health improved greatly, and on Wednesday forenoon he was in the tan-yard and afterwards saw to some fencing in a field, where his son and a labourer were engaged. After talking to his sou fot some time, he said he would saunter home, and left for that purpose. He had to pass a shed and a stable which stand at the end of Wrea.lane and Scalby•ros,i, and it was in this place where the rash act was committed. As the deceased did not reach home in time for the doctor's visit, his son, Mr George Featherstone, went out to seek him, and in passing the stable casually looked in, and there saw the body of bis father hanging from the topmost rung of the ladder leading to the hey-loft. The son cut the rope at once, laid the deceased upon the floor, and then sought assistance. Dr. Godfrey was On the scene within a few minutes, but life was extinct. The deceased was a native of Scarborough, and after serving his apprenticeship to the cabinetmaking went to work at York, afterwards returning to Falsgrave. Hislate wife was the owner of the Falsgrave Tan Yard, which deceased worked for many years. In 1865 be was elected a member of the Board of Guardians, and from that time up to a fortnight ago he was most assiduous in his attention to the duties. He was vice-chairman during the past year, and was unanimously reelected on Thursday lest to the post. He wail also for a considerable time chairman of the School Attendance Committee. In 1884 he stood as an independent candidate for the West Ward, and was elected to the Council, I being re-elected in 1887, when he defeated Mr Reinhardt by 25 votes. The deceased Councillor was a Conservative in polities, and a member of the Falegrave Wesleyan Church.

THE END OF GREATNESS.  It is a remarkable fact that the career of fonr of the most renowlled elasairters that ever lived closed with seine violent or mournful death. Alexander, after having climbed the dies), heights of his ambition, and with temples bound with chaplets dipped in the blood of countless nations, looked down upon a conquered world, and wept that there was not another one for him to conquer, sot a city on fire, and died in a scene of debauch. flatinibal, after having to the astonishment and consternation of Rome passed the Alp.; after having put to flight the armies of the mistress of the world, and stripped throe bushels of gold rings from Cie fingers of her slaughtered knights, and made her very foundations quake, fled from his country, being hated by those who once exultingly nuitod his name to that of their God, and called him I.l.ennibdf (Baal), and died at last by poison, administered by hie own hands, unlamented and unwept, in a foreign laud. Unsex, after having conquered eight hundred cities, and dyed his hands in the blood of one million of his foes ; after having pursued- to death the only rival he had on earth, woe miserably assassinated by those be considered his nearest friends, and in that very place which had witnessed the culmination of his ambition. Boonnarte, whose mandate kings and emperors obeva after having filled the Old World with the terror of his name, deluged it with tears and blood, and clothed Europe with sackcloth, closed his days in lonely banishment, almost literally exiled from the world. Thus the four men who stand as the representatives of all those whom the world called great died—one by intoxication, one by suicide, one inardered by his friends, and one in lonely exile.  A

RAILWAY RACING TO SCOTLAND.  The great lines of railway between the metropolis and the North are renewing their racing exploits of lest summer's travel. This year speed is kept up beyond Edinburgh and Glasgow, Aberdeen being included in the racing. A train leaves the Granite City at 6.15 in the morning, and by the Western route reached Easton at seven in the evening. This journey of 540 miles in the time specified, inclusive of halts by the way, has actually been acoompliehed, and no doubt the locomotive/ will continue to do their work. On the Great Northern, North.Ee.stern, and North British lines, by the East Coast route, the advertised time is fourteen hours less ten minutes, but as that route has superior advantages of gradient and directness, it can only be a question of giving orders to the engineers to achieve better perforinances. The Aberdeen train on the West route runs direct without association with Edinburgh and Glasgow traffic. Racing on these long journeys would be deplorable if it ended in disaster, or if the cost to the shareholder was more than the traffic warranted. But British railways are so splendidly constructed in regard to permanent way that the highest speeds are compatible with safety, especially ender the operation of the block system. Prudence as an element of good management will not be lost sight of by any of the great companies.  On Wednesday in Aberdeen workman discovered nu the rooks on the north side of the Dee the dead body cd a male child respectably dressed said sppareutly between two or three years old. Later in the day s man walking opposite Duthie Park observed something flowing in the river, which turned out to be the body of a woman about 30 years of age, supposed to be the mother of the child. She is supposed to have drowned her child and then ooinceitted suicide. • purse containing three halfpence was found on the woman's body, but nothing which could lead to identification.
