"To what cause is the increase in suicides attributable?” was asked. “That is a puzzler,” said the coroner, “as different author ilieB upon the subject do no 1 agree. However, my opinion is that the thing works on the prin eiple that one man who commits suicide, no matter in what man ner, sets the example for some other poor unfortunate through the very act of his own self dc straction. That statement anight lead a person into the belief that only weak winded people commit suicide; but such, in fact, is not the case. ▲ weak minded man is', in my opinion, almost always a coward, ami the coward who plucked up enough courage to Ue \md went out to work, ami clurned home in the s wife was dead.

A Remarkable Story. Philadelphia Record. A rcm.akahlc story was told to tlie reporter this morning by a well known lawyer residing in this city, and doing business here and in New York. The lawyer lias among his clients a eolored wo man, who is in charge of a male child of white parentage, now in its la:It year. This child is tlie heir lo a large estate, anil the law yer sots tliat several attempts have been made to get rid of it, and that he believes that tlie murder nf the boy lias been attempted.— The story told by the colored wo man, who is known as Cbariotlc i’oto and lives in Bridge street, to her lawyer, is in substance as fol lows: Fifteen years ago Charlotte Po lo lived on the island of Cuba.— Josephine B Pinto, a wealthy la dy, came to Cuba, where she gave birth to a child. Charlotte Polo was the larly’3 nurse. The lady seemed surrounded by a mystery which the negress could not pene irate. After a few days the child was given into tiic custody of lilt- nurse and the lady left Cuba.— Prom time to lime Charlotte Polo received sums of money for the child’s support and maintenance, lint suddenly the payments slop ped. Then the nurse and child came In America and Charlotte found that Josephine B. Pinto was living in a fashionable mansion on Lexington avenue, New York — Tlie nurse began an action to re cover for her service to the boy and got judgment against the lady hy confession for $1,223. That sum was paid over and the nurse and child came lo Brooklyn to live. Josephine It. Pinto died in her elegant home in ISS3, leaving $300,000 behind her. The nurse lie^pn another action against the estate to recover for her services and for the support of the lioy up lo the time of beginning tbe suit. The action is now on trial before a referee in New York city. Now comes the remarkable part of the story. Several limes when the boy has iiccn playing outside his home on Bridge street attempts have been made by unknown parlies lo kid nap him. On one occasion he was spirited away and taken on board an outgoing ship. At the last inoment*he was rescuer! hy his faithful nurse. The night before last the boy was playing in the street. Suddenly, his nurse says, lie was struck on the head with some blunt instrument ami severe ly injured. He was carried home and physicians summoned. One doctor said the boy had bad a nar row eseafie from death, and the case ought to be reported lo the police. Tlie authorities will prob ably be notified of the assault to day. The boy is said to be one oi tiie heirs to tlie Pinto estate. » • m A Day’s Bar Basal Retard. Atlanta Commonwealth. Ten “drunk on tbe streets” cas cs were maria by the police one day last week. This is bnt a com mon specimen of a day's bar room work in this city, but wbat a lim illessarca ol misery, shame, deg radation and depravity these dai ly occurrences illustrate! Add tn these tbe numerous cases which tlo not get into the clutches ol tbe police, anti those which are quiet ly hidden Crum public view daily by- agonized wives and weeping chi! tlren and pitying friends, and we can easily imagine the picture of woe and distress which the bar rooms and llieir victims paint with blood and shame daily in Atlanta. Ami all this in spite of the rig orous and unflinching fidelity with which our excellent Recorder. Judge Anderson, dispenses the penalties of the law- against this class of transgressors. For in stance, here :s tlie record of one day’s dealings, all against victims of the bar rooms: Don Tolon. wife beating, $20or twenty one days; Prank Holey, drunk and disorderly, $25 or twen ty-six days; Joe GYcen, disorder ly conduct, $20; Taylor White, ditto, $15; Wesley Barnes, drnnk. disorderly and resisting an ofli ccr, $25 or twenty-six days; S. W. Frazier, interlering with an offi cer, $25 or twenty six days; Zack Cainpbt-llson. disorderly conduct. $20 or twenty-one days; John Clay was put under s $100 bond for assault and battery; Sidney Freeman, third drunk, ten days in the calaboose. A few days ago a young man. well connected, while under the influence ofliquor. made a despe raleiffoit to commit suicide by swallowing laudanum. Tbe ter rible attempt was made at a bouse of ill fame whose inmates succeed ed by gieat effort, in preventing a fatal result. He was finally re moved tn his home, a wrecked and ruined man. Tlie ease did not come under police cognizance.— .Many of a like kind occur but arc kept from public nolle?. This is but a small fragment, a day’s sample, so to speak, of the degradation and ruin which “high license” whisky and betrguzzling is bringing upon the victims of liar rooms since these pests have been again opened and legalized in the capital ot Georgia. In tiie name of God, justice and humanity, how long will the good men of this city suffer this ou'.ra genus condition to contiuue? Will they not strike at the very first opportunity, and. by united power, exterminate Ibis deadly and infa inous curse? interior of ibis city, but lie will not find It. Nevertheless it was so deep that at its exit from the city at Moriah the bridge span was more than 100 feet above its bed. Its course lias bcen traced by the discovery of the arch and by deep excavations here and there wbicli have exposed the bed now overlaid with mins. Waitia? to Be Eaten. Westminister Review. Of the natives of New Georgia or Rubiana, Capt. Cheyne avers that human flesh forms their chief article of diet. The doctor ob serves: “It is difficult to specu Lite on tbe reflections of the vic tim, as he lives from day to day in constant exiiectation of his fate.” There is reason to believe that this expectation does not produce the agonizing terror which most Europeans under tlie circumstances would experience. In the lime not very far distant, when cannibalism prevailed in New Zealand, it was occasionally, at all events, the custom of a chief when starting on a war expedition to take with him, fastened togeth er, a number of men whom he al ready held as captives; these men served as a living larder. Each of them knew that his turn tn be killed and eaten would come; nev ertheless with the certainty of this doom before him he partook of each of bis fellows whose death preceded his own; and Capt. Wilkes, in bis account of his ex ploring expedition, staled that 1 King Thekambeou appropriated * one of the small islands of tlie Fiji group as a human preserve. Every man imprisoned there knew that he would ultimately serve as a food for Ins majesty, and snch alike were the loyalty and iudif ferencc as to .death of these vic tims that, when questioned by Capt. Wilkes as to their feelings on the matter, they expressed a kind of acquiescence in their fate, and nsed words to the effect that it was quite proper that the king should be thus provided for.

As the traveler walks on he per ceives tliat liis footsteps are not on the original ground of Jerusa lem, bul upon a mass of superim posed matter which has been strewn over tlie whole site. His tory enumerates seventeen cap lures of the holy city, eleven of which were attended hy sieges more or less destructive. After many of these events the houses then standing were razed to the earth. These were in lime suc ceeded by new bouses, which in their turn were overthrown at the next siege, and so on, each cap ture sibling to the accumulation of rubbish. Thus the traveler learns that a compact layer of solid coating, from thirty to fifty feet in thickness, has been by de grecs spread over the entire space Even the valleys and ravines lietwcen the several hills on which the city wss built have been so far filled np as to have partly loat their special character, as already mentioned. Tbe Tyropbeon brook is, perhaps, the moat particular instance Tbe traveler will have heard of this brook, or mail of it in Josephus, as a landmark in the A Very Hanger*as Experiment. Cincinnati Enquirer. Some lime ago, in my readings, I learned of a lest made among some lumber men in the far north. One bad given an account, silling around the camp fire, of how a companion had committed snicide in an ingenious way. He had ta ken a board, probably six inches wide, and, lying fiat, face down ward, bad placed it upright under his throat, then stretching bis arms straight alongside bis liody, had borne down with his neck. Unconsciousness followed in a few seconds, and he died an apparent ly painless death. The story was received by the lumbermen with incredulity, and I suggested it be see?’ tried. One of tbe party volun teered, and the arrangements were made and carried out as 1 bad mentioned in relating tbe suicide. Tbe man bail remained in tlie po sition only a very few seconds when we hurriedly raised him and let tbe plank fall. He was nncoo scions, and it was some little time before be responded to onr labor* 1 to revive him and opened hie eyes. We were greatly relieved, 1 can tell yon. In describing bis feel- ings, he said be had experienced a rash of blood to tbe bead and a suffocating sensation, bnt wan to move any of bis ha or release himscli Dr. Mary Walker and tbe Small Bey, St. Louis Republic. Some of tlie pages at the cspf-> lol seem to take keen delight in worrying Dr. Mary Walker when she makes her appearance there. The doctor is a terrible enemy of tobacco smoke, and it makes hef as mad as a wet ben when any body smokes in her presence.. To- day a page named Johnson, who is a protege of Congressman Amos Cummings, and who is not in the habit of indulging in cig arettes, procured one of these “boy j killers” for the express purpose of annoying Dr. Mary. She, or “it,” as this eccentric person is quite frequently called, was at the house document room for the pur pose of procuring several bills Sad reports. The youngster with cig- arrette in hand marched up tn Dr. Mary and asked for a match. The latter grew while with rage and raised her umbrella to chas tise the little fellow. Tbe boy with squirrel-like agility sprang up a sleep flight of steps leading to the loft. When he bad reached a safe distance he took a match from his owd pocket and anon had raised a cloud of smoke. Dr. Mary abused him roundly and said he was r. disgrace to kin parents, and added that if she coaid get bold of him she would take the cigarette away.
