In proof of this profoundly philosophical
theory, theNew Yerk World, a journal with
somo penchant for statistics, has been rum

some neat little evidence token from tho cen
sus of 1870.

Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,

it population of about three millions and a half.
The six States of Delaware, Maryland, Vir

Southern States, strange to say, have 11,567

Everybody knows something of Benja
min Disraeli, who, In hts younger days flour
ished as toe author ef several well-written
novels, and as fashionable guest of toe lady
‘ Gore House. Vivian Grey, the “Young
Duke,” “Contarini Fleming’ and “Henrietta
Temple” are quite as well known to young
readers as “Coningsby” and “Letoair” are to
persons of sedater minds. Everybody knows
somethin?, t»j, ef the parliamentiaiy career
of toe British statesman who was once the
right hand of power of Earl Derby and
Premier at a later day.
Bnt there is a silent figure behind the
scenes ef toe pnblie life of Disraeli, not
known to most people—a woman of s re
markable strength of character and of ad
mirablc judgment. This is Vtsconnteas Bea-
contfleld, toe wife of Disraeli, She is tele-,
yaphically reported as dangerously ill in
jondon, and perhaps, ere now, Las succumbed
as she is passing into age.
In 1837 Disraeli was returned by toe con
stituency of Maidstone and took his seat in
the House of Commons. His first speech,
wbich is represented as ambitions and pre
tentious, was a flat fulcra. The Hoes®
ridiculed toe effort, aad toe speaker in
dignantly said: “I will ait down now,
bnt the time will come when yon will
hear me!’ Any one conversant with
British parliamentary manners will appre
ciate toe feelings ef toe aspirant. The
House of Commons neither tolerate tedious
nor stupid speeches. All sorts of noises,
coughing, crowing, stamping, are resorted to,
that a speedy end may be put to tbe efforts
of a member who botes them. It is on such
occasions toe most undignified legislative
body in the world. Hence it is, that so few
members become at the outset famous. He
must indeed be gifted with unusual powers
ef endurance wuo can stand np against a
body of men determined to listen only te
brief and apposite speeches and no one but a
veteran, cue who has conquered respect by
an exhibition of good sense, good taste asd
genuine power, is allowed the privilege of a
lengthy expats of his opinions.
Disraeli's half-savage remark to toe de
riding members of to® House was prophetic.
The man left power stir within him. But
it required another power to give hi3 genius
momentum, and this was wealth. In 1839,
two year* alter hi* failure in Parliament, he
married a rich widow, Mrs. Wyndham Lewis.
Independent of the isflaence wealth gave
her, she possessed a character well calculated
to stimulate toe ambition of her husband.
From the day of bis marriage, Disraeli took
a more prominent position in toe aristocratic
life of the British metropolis, and became soon
more prominent in political circles. On the
day when he strolled out from the House of
Commons Premier of Great Britain, his wife
leaning upon his arm, said, half-trinmphantly
and half-refiectively: “To-day my husband
is Prime Minister of toe British Empire!”
Refusing to be elevated to toe peerage, if,
indeed, any royal patent could elevate a man
of Disraeli’s genins as an author or a states
man, be requested the Crown to honor his
wife, for by honoring ber be himself wculd
be honored. And so toe Queen created her

ATTEMPTED* SUICIDE.
Sad History at a Beautiful Girl.
On Sunday evening, not far from the soend
of prayer and praise, in tbo vicinity of one
of our leading churches, was enacted a scene
that tho few who witnessed it can never efface
from memory.
A young, accomplishtd and exceedingly
lovely girl, about 24 years of age, named
Emily Goodby, attempted to end her life by
taking a powerful dose of arsenic. Medical
aid was promptly at hand, and her life was
saved.
The utmost endeavors were made to hash
tho matter np, on account of the parties in
volved, but as the principal will have left toe
city before this .article la read, there is no
reason for concealment.
The lady had been temporarily here as'the
wife of a gentleman engaged in a traveling
agency, and who resides at the North.
He was very attentive, and apparently de
voted toward her, and she seemed ta idolize
him. • She is a blonde, with a wealth of light
colored hair, a most exquisite complexion,
largo expressive and lustrous blue eyes, beau
tiful regular features, rare ey e-lashes and eye
brows, and a superbly symmetrical figure.
It seems that toe gentleman had occasion
to go to a place outside this city, leaving her
here. During the time of his absence a let
ter came, whidi, from too handwriting, she,
with womanly instinct, knew was from some
other woman.
With irresistible impulse she opened and
read it. The contents revealed toe fact that
it was a young and excellent girl in Balti
more to whom he was engaged, and expected
to be married on New Year’s day. The con
fiding girl evidently worshipped him as her
idol, and had not the remotest idea of the
character and habit* of the fellow into whoso
keeping she was about to.commit her most
precious hopes for life.
The poor girl, Emily, frail and helpless as
she was, had trusted this man’s promise to
make hcr his wife, and to hsnor hcr with his
name as soon as his business ®f this year
could be arranged to take hcr to Europe, and
conceal her origin and misfortune. At the
revelation of his treachery discovered by the
letter, she was nerved to desperation, and
resolved to end her remorse in death. On the
plea of poisoning some mice that troubled
her room, she obtained Borne arsenic and
swallowed it. She had previously written
letters to her people, who reside in Vermont,
and to hcr betrayer, whose name is Mar
tin Balfour. Soon after administering toe
drag she was overtaken with excruciating
agony. Her moaning alarmed toe persons in
adj scent rooms, who rushed in and discovered
too situation. The man Balfour arrived
shortly afterward, and manifested extraordi
nary emotion of grief. After great exertions
her life was saved.
One of those present remarked how strik
ingly suggestive the fair, frail and erring crea
tore, os she lay in utter exhaustion and
despondency, was of the line, “Once I was
pure as toe beautiful snow.”
The parties left thS city this morning.—Sa

The Filth Avenue Horror*
The;buraing of eleven poor servant girls
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, has
created a deep feeling in that community.
It appears that the proprietors of the hotel
were guiliy of culpable negligence: The
matter has stirred to creditable activityCthe
humanity of the people.
The burial of the poor, obscure, and un
known victims of the fire seems to have been
oneof toegrandestandmo3ttouchingfnneral
outpourings ever witnessed in New York.
The streets were lined with people, and toe
windows of tho houses filled ’witiispectators.
Numbers of fashionably dressed ladles at

The disintegration of the Radical Connty

legitimate result of the decisive victory of the

that the regular Democratic county ticket
would have been in danger. As it is, Radi

defeat, and cannot rally.

and interested comment elicited by onr late
municipal success from toe Democratic press

ing they should cherish the memory of Ihc:.-

Mr.Thompeen.of Gloucester, a member
ef toe Committee, asked whether the bravo
men of toe South would not enlist in too
army if these names were erased from toe
flag?
Mr. Hoyt, in reply to Mr. Thompson, said
the rebellion wu a crime, and if the men
w*re disgraced by toe names ef toe battles
in wbicb they were defeated it was tbe legit
imate penalty of their crimes. These men
should have these blazonry of their infamy
perpetuated to the latest generation. If tho
name of toe battle on the flag of the regular
army would disgrace any man he should bo
disgraced. Such men were not enlisting
from any love of tho government, but from
mercenary motives.
Mr. Lincoln, a member of the Committee,
endeavored to get Mr. Hoyt’s resolution mod
ified eo u to be a littlo less personal, but bis
effort failed, and one gentleman said tho
languaee wu not strong enough. After
some farther foil speeches tho proceedings
terminated.
