A Sad Can of Destitution and Suicide.
A painful suicide of a mother and son took place on
Thursday night in Paddington, England. A French
gentleman—by his own account a nobleman—with his
mother, took furnished apartments there some weeks
•go, but though several visitors called upon them, it
was manifest they were in great poverty, and they
paid no rent. The landlady gave them notice to quit,
out allowed them to remain all night. That morning
it was found that they had both banged themselves,
one at each end of the cornice-pole of the window, un
der circumstances showing great deliberation. Both
mother and son left letters behind them giving di
rections how they wished their bodies to be treated,
and stated that poverty drove them to suicide.
On the table was found the following letter;
“Mss. Connor: You are a Christian and a Catholic,
therefore you will know how to fulfil the last prayci s
of a dying woman, and that it 1b a holy duty. My bi-
loved son and myself are juBt going to die; we ask
from you to look over, that and see that our dress is
not taken from us, and that my son’s false leg (the
gentleman wore a cork leg) be not taken from him. I
have prepared two pieces of bed sheets, and I wish us
to be wrapped in them, all dressed. I also wish you
to take care wc are placed in the same grave. My be.
loved son has struggled against his enemies with a
courage that a good conscience alone can give. We
have suffered a great many humiliations and priva
tions, and we have been consenting to bear such
sufferings so long as our religious feelings would per
mit us. God does know our thoughts and consciences.
He will forgive us. We shall pray Him lbr you for
what you saw not. Do by yourself what X ask from
you; take care that it' is done. I thank you for your
kindness to us in our misfortune, and I regret the
trouble we are giving you now; but I wish to die here.
I leave to you, like a reward, eight cards (pawnbrokers’
duplicates) of very good clothes.
"They are in for £8; their value is indeed thirty
guineas. I had not had the means to give something
to the man who has rendered to us some service, and
who in this last moment will have something to do.
I leave him all the clothes of my son. I speak of what
I give you, because I am persuaded that * * t *
I do no. know; but I think our property in your house
has been a security for our expenses up to this time.
You may have the two hats of my son’s, but burn all
which you consider should be thrown away. For a
long time I have seen my son Buffering and slowly
dying, God only knoweth all the torments of my soul.
I pray you again to do all that. God will bless you.
“A. Dr Calc we.”
Close to the man’s body was the following letter:
“ I should be obliged that the woman up-stairs ar
range our bodies, and give her what she likes. There
is other linen in the wardrobe, if wanted. Everything
we have on is very old. I leave a great deal of our
linen dirty. I leave eight coats and a lot of other
clothes. My mother dear, asks that our faces be cov
ered with linen. I leave 6s. We have suffered very
much, and 1 trust, Mrs. Connor, you will do my
mother’s requests. **F. De Calcwx.”
Other letters went to show that the gentleman was
thirty-five years of age, and his mother seventy yoars
of ago.
The Governor of Kentucky on the “ B«.-
reau.”
The Lexington oorrespondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette. under date of the 6 th, gives the following infor
mation:
“A few days ago Judge 8. 8. Goodloe, of the Ciiy
Court, under the statute ot Kentucky, fined a negro
for having a pistol in hia-ffissc-ssion. Mr. Pinkerton,
agent of the Freedmeu’e Bureau, took the caai in
hand and notified Judge Goodloe that all such statutes
were no longer valid, and requested him to restore the
negro his pistol and remit the fine. Judge Goodloe
declined to do this, not recognizing any rule of proce
dure in his court but that of the statutes of Kentucky.
The matter was at this stage referred to Gov. Bram-
lette, who in answer to Judge Goodloe says: “You
take tbs correct view of your duty. You have no
power to make, unmake or amend laws, but must ad
minister them as they exist. This you and all other
officers should do, regardles of the menaces of the
agents of a bureau which has no legal existence in
Kentucky. The powers assumed by super-official*
and agents of overriding the agents and civil authori
ties ol the State should be firmly met and resisted In
every legal form. The whole negro population being
now free, are by our laws, as they now exist, secured
and protected in their rights of life, liberty and pro
perty. The slave code has nothing td do with the free
negro now, and never did have. I have every reason
to believe that the present General Assembly will
adopt suitable and wise provisions for the benefit of
the fTeedmen. Whether they do or not, Mr. Pinker
ton ought to know that it is not in your or his pro
vince to make, amend or disregard existing laws. Mr.
Pinkerton would better subserve the true interests of
the negro and of the society and State in which he
lives by locking up his bureau and losing the key,
t tan by the course he seems bent on pursuing.” The
G jvernor hss turned the whole matter over to the Leg
islature.

# A Broken Heart.
The following interesting case of s literally broken
heart was related by a late distinguished medical pro
feasor of Philadelphia, to his class, while lecturing on
diseases of the heart. It will be seen, on perusing it,
that the expression "broken hearted," is not merely
figurative:
"In the early part of his career Dr. Mitchell accom
panied, as suigeou, a packet t'.uit sullcd between Liver
pool and one of our Ijoutheru porta. On the return
voyage, soon after leaving Liverpool, while the doctor
and the captain of the vessel, a weather beaten son of
Neptune, but possessed of un;omuionly line filings
ana strong impulses, were conversing in the latter's
stateroom, the captain opened a large chest, and care
fully took out a number of articles of various descrip
tions, which he arranged upon a table. Dr. Mitchell,
' biirpriscd at the display of costly jewels, ornaments,
<Uesses, and all the varied pliaraphcruali* of which
ladies are naturally fond, inquired of the captain his
object iu having made so many valuable purchases.
"The Bailor, iu reply, said that for seven or eight
yoars he had been devotedly attached to a lady, to
whom he had several times made proposals of mar
riage, but was as efteu rejected; that lier refusal to
wed him, however, had only stimulated 1ms love to
greater exertion; and that finally upon renewing his
offer, declaring, in the ardency of his passion, that
without her society, life was not worth living for, she
consented to become his bride ui>on his return from
his next voyage.
•* lie was so overjoyed at the prospect of a marriage
from which, in the warmth of nis feelings, he proba
bly anticipated more hapxnneas than is usually allotted
to mortals, that he spent all his ruudy money while in
London for bridal gilts. After gazing ut th«m fondly
for some time, and remarking on taem in turn, "I
think this will please Annie," and "I am sure she will
like that," he replaced them with the utmost care.
" This ceremony he repeated every day during the
voyage; and the doctor observed a tear glisten in his
eye as he spoke of the pleasure he would have in pre
senting them to his affianced bride. On reaching his
destination, the captain arrayed himself with more
thau usual precision, anrl disembarked as soon as pos
sible to hasten to his love. As he was about to sup
into the carriage awaiting him he was called aside by
two gentlemen who desired to make a communication,
the purport of which was that the lady had proved
unfaithful to the trust reposed in her and had married
another, with whom she had decamx.ed shortly Itcforc.
Instantly the cap«ain was observed to put bis liana to
his breast and ull heavily to the giouAid. He was
taken up and conveyed to hi3 room on the vessel. Dr.
M. waa immediately summoned, but before be readi
ed the poor captain he was dead. A post nu/rteni ex
amination revealed the cause of his unfortunate dis
ease. His heart was found literally twain I The tre
mendous propulsion of blood consequent upon such a
violent nervous shock forced the powerful muscular
tissue asunder, and life was &t an end. The heart u us
t>roken."
CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP
Han produced n revolution in Medicine.
What may seem almost incredible is, that many dis
eases hitherto considered hopelessly incurable are fte
quently cured in a few days or weeks; and w e cheer
1 ully invit e the investigations of the liberal minded and
scientific to enree which have no parallel at the prea-
bent day.
Daring the past five years we have contended with
obstacles and overcome opposition as herculean as
were ever encountered by any reformers.
RAPIDITY OF CURE.
Some say, “Your cures are too quick," while others
donbt their permanence, and think that diseases can
only be cared by the “slow, recuperative process oi
Nature.’’
This Is our reply: In health, the body, like a well-
balanced scale, is in a state of equilibrium. Bat when,
trout any cause, down goee one side of the scale, we
have the effects of disease. What is requisite, is tore-
store tlie normal balance of the scale.
