I..li man bad been drinking heavily for some time, and lita brain had becomo affected. For several days he had been talking of self-destruction, but as he often talked that way when under the influence of whisky, very little was thought of it. Friday night he went to Welch & Agar's diug store and asked for 15 grains of morphine “for family purposes.” Mr. Lunday, tho pre scription clerk, who measured the drag, suspected nothing wrong until, as Mr. Lehman, after paying for it, walked out with his purchase mutter ing to himself. Mr. Lunday immedi ately went to Mrs. Lehman and told the forehead, cutting an ugly gash and laying the flesh open to the bone.

He gave a boarder in the house 50 cents to buy him another dose, and upon being refused, he threatened to drown himself, saying, “you can’t take the river from me. ’ Saturday he continued drinking, and went to bed Saturday night in a drunk en stupor. His son Btayed by him until he slept soundly, and then being satisfied that he was safe until morn ing, went to bed himself. Sunday morning his wife looked in on him several times, but as ho appeared to be sleeping soundly she would not disturb him. About 8 o’clock they went to call him to breakfast, and found him 111],I, r III,, inllucnri- ,,t murphim'. Some one of tiio house remembered having heard him get np about three o'dwt, and it is supposed that he took the drug then. Dr. Strother was immedi ately called in. and though he know it to be a hopeless case, he used every means that science and skill could sug gest to resuscitate the dying man. But was all to no purpose, and about 9 clock all was over. Hia mind had been giving way for some time, and his family bad almost dicidcd to send him to an asylnm. Sat urday he was so violent that liis wife was advised to have him restrained in the guard boose, but she refused to do i, preferring to keep watch over him, _j they had often done in similar at tacks, until his reason returned. He seemed constantly to brood over the recent murder and suicide in Cuth- bert, frequently arguing that Mr. Rus sell had a perfect right to take his own life, but not that of his children. That affair, acting upon a mind already dis eased, no doubt prompted the terrible act. Seven er eight years ago, under precisely similar circumstances, ho at tempted to tako his own life, but nfter having taken the morphine he became frightened and wont to Dr. Young, a ihysican who lived hero at that time, legging him to uso some means to stop tho action of the poison. It was done, and sinco then his family have had no apprehension of his ever again attempting a like act, though he often threatened to do so. Saturday he made every preparation for death, dividing bis tools among his boys, writing a letter to almost every member oi his family, including a sis ter in Illinois: oven partially prepar ing bis body for banal. Ills family knew of all this, but he had acted in the Same way many times before, and they were confident in the belief that he would have neither tho means or opportunity for self-destruction. Sir.

Miss Roe, ol Cnth- bert, he settled In Sonthwest Georgia, and for nearly a quarter of a century ho has been a citizen of Albany. His children with two exceptions were present at his death. The oldest son, whose homo is in Brunswick, and his yonngest daughter, iu attendance at Andrew College, Cuthbert, were tel egraphed for, and came at once, so that the entire family were present at his burial. The deceased wrote a number of let ters to different parties before taking the fatal potion, and among them was the following: “Albany, Ga., May 22,1885.—New. and Adttriiter: Touch me lightly, it yon please.

Surratt's Scaffold—The Execution Recalled. Washington Star. After the execution of Mrs. Surratt, Payne, Harold and Atzerodt, July 5,1SG5, near the old prison in the arsenal grounds, the rough scaffold used iu the execution was torn down and nearly all the timbers which composed it were u?ed in the re* construction of the buildings on the grounds, most of them getting into the floor of the stables.

Two Children Who Were Baorlflced In Paris to 8oience a Chicago Tribune. A few years ego a society of em n*ijt men ia Paris discussed the question: What language would a child naturally speak if never taught?” The devout Cath olics were of the opinion that the Hebrew language would be spoken in these circum stances. One sckntiit was of the opinion that eome form of the Chinese language would be the natural tongue. Twenty different re sult were predicted. At last it was decid ed to test the matter, and a committee was appointed to carry oat the experiment. Tu ) iiifniitfl were pr cuml and put in tin* t hnrg«* of a deaf and <1 .mb who lived in the Alps and made a living by rearing chickens and tending sheep. The woman was given strict injunctions to allow no one to speak to these children, and, as her cottage was eome miles distant from nt.y neighbor, the circumstances sur rounding the experiment were favorable. Years rolled on and many of the mem hers of the society had lost sight of this in teresting experiment. Home members of the committee died, and there wan great dlinger of the results of thi* wonderful te.-d being lost to the world. Fortunately two of the members ot the committee kept faithful wittch on the case, mid when the children were six years old bronght them, itti their nnrse, into a meeting of the tavanU. u Kvery member w*s on the tiptoe of expectation as to the result.

Dr. SchafT Describes the Revlslcn Committee's Fourteen Years' Labor. Truly, the Bible still lives. It is the new est as well as the oldest of books. Its youth Is renewed like the eagle’s, and ev ery generation adds to its interest. When the revised New Testament was published just four years ago (on March 17,1881, in London, and on May 20 in New York), 2,000,000 of copies were sold in a few days, and within the ne?t few months not less than thirty American rival editions were issued, so that before the close of that year a boat 8,000,000 of copies of all editions were tola (not given away). The revised Oid Testament is published this week on Tues day, the 10th of Mav, in Lmaon. and on Thursday, May 20, in New York, and Philadelphia, by the agents of the British University presses. Mere than 100,000 copi’s have been ordered In advance fer tho United flutes aloDe.

The Old Testament will escape all tire censure on this score, and not distarb the conserve tive feelings o! people attached to the fa miliar text. Changes of translation are very numer ous, and yet so carefully made in the very languago ot the old version that they will scarcely be observed by the superficial reader. They are real improvements, in consequence of the vast progress made in Hebiew philology, biblical geography, an tiquities and exegesi**.

A Grand Army Poet Not Allowed to Attend n Funeral. A Fottsvllie, Penn., special says: "John Sturm, a German Catholic, who belonged to the local Grand Army post, died on Bat urday. Before his death he expressed a wish to be buried with post honors. The priest, the Rev. Frederick Looglnns, re fused to allow the post to parade as an or der wearing their badges, bat stated that as soldiers without badges they might en ter the church and cemeterv. This brought out a denunciatory order from the post, which waa published this morning. It had the effect ot cresting the most intense ex- ci'eiuent and arousing the most bitier feeling between Catholics and Protestants. In the order the post declare* that the late Baltimori council declares that the Grand Army was not a secret society within the meauing of the pspil bull, and that a Ha- zelton priest had permitted the order to attend a funeral without restriction. In an interview to-night Father Longinm said: *T went to Philadelphia to-day. j laid the matter before Archbishop Ityan He approve! of my conduct. As to the action of the Baltimore Council. I am authorized to say It did just the reverse of which this post ssya it did. At any rate, the decree has not been promulgated from Horne, and until tnen I can only obey the rules of the churcb. As to the Hiz eton aflalr, the post there went into the church in violation of the priest’s order. I have no feeling in this matter, but will not be bulldozed. Two years ago, at the instance of this pest, 1 wrote to Archbishop Wohd, and in reply waa dis- tinrtfy informed that this order was one under the church’s condemnation. This statement Archbiihop Hyan to-day reaf firmed. The odium this post attempts to cast on me is a malicious piece of work which will fill fist on its authors.” Contrary to Father Longinus’s opinion the excitement continues to-night uns- bxted. A MISER'S TREASURE. Masked Robbers Terrorize a Farmer' Household and Eeoape With their Booty. A St. Louis special s&ys: News ot s dar ing robbery, which occurred Friday night in the southern part of Batter county, Mo. fire miles west of Hsxveill and out of the line of telegraphic communication, reached here this evening. The victim, Theodore Vandore, is s farmer of considerable means. Two masked robbrn entered LU house about 12 o'clock at night, and, proceeding to the rooms occu pled by the farmhands, cov ered them with revolvers and made them croas their arms and legs while they ged. But their time for exchange, continued the practice against or 'er*. There came a week, however, in which no rebel respond 'd to wiviiig. or *haklog, or flutteriogs of <aper or handkerchief, and we knew then tlmt oplnrH agniuht exchanges had been issued on that side as well as on ours. Bat one morning quite early my partner discovered a man on the rebel fine fran- cally waving a Urge paper. He suggested that we slip away from the reserve and go out and see what the mail wanted. He took a paper, waved it, and we started to ward the rebel In front. Whenwehadpro- 4 ceedi «1 about half way to the point of meet ing the fellow ceased to wave his paper. We were puzzled at thin, but fi a ally con cluded that he waa down in a hollow, and we would see him when he came up on high ground. Bo we walked on and walk ed wiinout warning into a group of sol diers at the rebel picket po-t. The men were just ready to take breakfast and after the first flurry they joked us a good deal about our extraordinary willingness to get Into their clutches at breakfast time, hen we spoke of the exchange of papers the officer in charge informed us that or ders were positive against exchange, and that all his men understood it. As this was the case, he took the petition that we had come willingly into their lines, and that he could not allow us to return. I saw at or.ee that his men disagreed with him, but the question was how we were to get away. My partner, who bad been a soldier in Germany, joined In the jokes at onr ex pense, and proposed that he make the hoys some cuff e that was coffee. The Con federates had a very poor ex?n*e for that article, ami without more ado he proceed ed to make a kettle of coflee, the aroma of which seemed tu fascinate the coffee-hun gry sharpshooters. When he had poured the cotlee into the cups and had expatiated on the good it would do the men, he took np his rifle and said to me: "Now let us start for our own line.” I followed him, and not a soldier on that picket post low- . ered the cup of coffee from his lips or look ed our way. HAPPY JOURNALISM. Whsr* the Editor le Free From Cars and the Preaeman Doee the Work. Correspondence English Taper. A visit to a Chinese printing establish ment is productive of xunch that is inter esting. Movable type are in use in Ban Francisco Chinese newspaper offices. The manner of getting a Chinese newspaper off the press and printing is very primitive. The editor takes American newspapers to friends, from whom he gets a translation matter he needs, and after getting it written in Cuiceae in a manner satisfactory to him, bs carefully writes it upon paper chemically prepared.

This done, they pro ceeded to the old man’s room, and. pull ing him oat of bed they commanded him to make known the whereabouts of his ca»h if he desired to live, at the same time cockirg their revolvers. They were shown where the money, amounting to 8*2 000, was concealed, which they made off with and have not since been heard of. This makes the fonrth time that Vandore baa been robbed. Foar years aeo he was robbed of 14,000 or 85,000, for which the cciprita are now serving a term in the pen itentiary. The old man is miserly and Is afraid ... risk the money in the banks, and conse quently at times he has large same about his boost. • TAR 1 LINO FIGURES.
