Ludwig, who was recently deposed from
the Bavarian throne, has committed suicide.
He had gone dut for a promenade in the park
of the Berg Cnitle, accompanied by Dr.Gud*

himself Into Btamburg Lake and was
drowned. The physician jumped into the
water to rescue the King aud was also

Dr. Muollorand Hubert, the king's steward,

The king's death occurred on tho ovening of
tho 13th. At 10 o'clock the next morning the
Generals of tho Bavarian army met and took

The physicians appointed to examine the

known as ‘the leather man,’ has been
discovered in a cave near Waterbary. He

naturally paid to the grave and serious
business of the winds in bringing us heat,
cold or moisture, and their occasional
conflicts; their playfulness is not
studied and their antics are supposed to
be irregular. A naturalist at Berne,
Herr Coaz, recently brought out the fact
that they may engage in a systematic
game of ball, aiding at least in themanu
facture of very good implements. In

certain winds prevail, the floating larch

The suicide of the late King Ludwig has
enused great excitement throughout Bavaria,
and a full investigation of the manner of his
dent: is demanded, assertions having been
n ade that it was uot a ease of self-murder,
but of assassination.
Duiuno au election at Santiago, Chili, a
great riot occurred. Forty persons, in
cluding a prominent member of the Radical
party, wore killed and many injured.
Vast crowds viewed tho remains of King

money for his private pleasure, ills erection
of numerous gorgeous palaces, his magnifi

that ho would attempt suicide, and precau
