It is, however, a pain. leas fate. The seltslayer slinks into a sound sleep, whieh deepen Into insensibility, end from thence pastes Into death. But of late this once favorite mode of suicide has been neglected in favor of hanging or of drown- ing. The caged etatieties of the suloides in Franco during the pest year are extremely curious to examine. Tho cues amount to nearly 8,000 for the whole republic). Of these the department in which Paris is attested comes in for nearly a fifth, though in proportion to ita population it ought to furnish only one -fifteenth. Rat the life of the great city, and its triale, its mis• ones, its deceptions are fertile in providing causes for DESPAIR AND Surm xprinme. It Would naturally be supposed that the gloomy months of winter, with their cold, gray weather and ehort days, would be those in which unhappy people would the most readily quit the earth. Such is not the case. December is the month in which =ides are least frequent, and Jedy is that which fernishea the greatest number. Can it be that the bustle and gayety of the weeks immediately preceding the holiday season produce a favorable effect on the minds of those who are -weighted down by cares and woes thab are rapidly assuming intolerable proportion')? Perhaps, too, the possibility of some amelioration arriving to the doleful lot of the sufferer, through the medium of that time of gifts and generosity, may came a postponement of the fatal hour. But why should midsummer, with its bright sunshine, and • its comparatively easy con- ditions of existence, when neither extra clothing nor fuel are necessaries of life be the Belson most conducive to self -murder ? That problem presents no reasonable means of solution. Yet nearly twice as many persons commit suicide in July as in Decem- ber. It is possible that the calmly flowing river, warmed and brightened by the sum- mer sun, may tempt the wretched wanderer to seek for rest and peace in the cool tran- quil depths; while, on the other hand, the wy, muddy torrent of winter is repellant. New Use for the Bee. Several years ago a man, in Ohio we •think it oacurred,was accidentallAstung by a wasp or a bee and his rheumatism left: him. Bee sting was thereupon proclaimed to the world as e sovereign remedy for rheumatism, and a more or less vague theory of the motion of formic acid was devised as an explana- tion of the singular cure. But people re- • mained incredulous. Attention is again drawn to the theory by the wonderful cure of an Irish girl at le aterson, N.J. She suf- • fered ao much from neuralgia that at times ahe became frantic and dashed her. head against the wall. A Dr. Terc persuaded her to try the experiments of the bee sting cure. A weep, after being well warmed by the kitchen fire, was easily provoked to sting her.Within half an hour her neura1. • gio pains left her, and though many months have elapsed have not returned. --nee— — Observations) upon the away of tall chim- neys during high winds gahow that one of 115 feet in height and 4 feet in total diame- ter at the top waved 20 incluse during a heavy gale, and another 164 feet high, but with a '6/, feet diameter of flue, moved through an aro of only 6i inches. -•--- BRITISH NEWS.

Moran has for a year been a terror to the people along the border between the two States, and fot the past three months he has been especially obnoxious, defying the authorities, running things pretty much as he pleamed, and declaring at every oppor. Utility that he would never be taken alive. He kept his word Inc that particular, only giving up the ghost after he had been pierc- ed by a dozen bullets and fighting to the last, confronted by three fizzed men, Two weeks ago ISIorangot on a big drank, shot into the depot several times, obliging the complete to fiee for their lives, broke one the windows, threw the switch lamps into the river, and promised to kill any one offering to interfere with him. Re was let alone for the time being, but the railroad people determined to put an end to each outlawry, and sent for Detective Baldwin of Eureka Agency. Baldwin swore oub a warrant; on March 31, and accompanied by Detective Wallace ano Robinson, started in search of Moran. They found him in Tazewell county, Va,,, on Mon- day night het, and the following morning early the officers went to the Imes° where beeves hiding, Baldwin went to the door and asked for a drink of water' and Wallace and Robinson coming up aboutthe same ,time, Balwin staid .• • "He's inside. I'll make a break for him, and you follow quiok." Baldwin at once sprang through the door, into one of the two rooms, and, seder a;man in a bed in one corner, supposed it was Moran, and called to him to surrender. Just then Moran appeared at the door of the other room and fired two shots at Baldwin, one passing through his coat on a line with his heart, and the other striking him in the arm near the wrist. By this time Wallace and Robinson were in the house, and the fir- ing became general. Wallace went down, with aeihot in the mouth And ttvo in hi s arm. Baldwin caught another bullet in his wounded arm, and Robireson fired five shots at the. outlaw, when his revolver was knock. ed from hie hand by a bullet which out off one of his fingers. 6 A woman in the house also fired five shots at Moran and then fainted. Moran shot all the cartridges from his two revolvers, and then fell. He died in two minute), and when examined twelve wounds were found on hien, and sixbullets in his body. The three detectives received eight balls. Wallace is lying at the point of death • at a house near the eoeneeof the shooting, and Baldwin rode twenty miles for a doctor for him before he would have his own wounds dressed.

"Father," said William, who was out for one of those 'instructive walks in which he and his father took so much delight, "art we passed through the churchyard just now, I saw you stop and examine an iincription on a tombstone.

The contest ought to be an interesting one. The last return ot the great landowners ef England puts the Duke of Westminster down as her Majesty's richest eubject, with &fortune of £16000,000. The New 'York San 'says that there are at least a dozen Americans who are richer, and mentions the two heads of the :Astor family, Cornelius and William. Vanderbilt, John and William Rockefeller, William I. Flagler, Leland Stenford and Jay Gould. The contra:at is a rather ignoble one. The ,people of the United States have hitherto been entitled to a mare creditable eminence—namely, the fact that unsettle was more evenly distribut- ed there than in older lands. The growth of such fortunes as those of the Asters and Vanderbilte is a eignal of danger that this happy state of things may not hest forever. A delicate lady passed through some of the crowded streets of New York one sulky August morning and was appalled to see the dolt babies end children teeming out their lives in the stiAing heat and dying for want of pure, fresh air. There was one debity garret chamber in her pretty country home, and when her business in the Laity was com- pleted she took one mother and her baby with her for a two weeks' vitili. "1 cannot save all," she said "1 may awe one." When the two weeka had pulsed and the color had deepened in tee child's cheeks' and lips she sent for another in her, pee , and SO they came and went until the Ir. fell. The neighbors followed her example. The next summer hundreds of claildren were entertained; the next, thousands. Another lady who lived in the city heard of it, and, as the . had no money to give to help this gracious charity, she said, "I can at least tell seine one dee of ib," so she wrote an ac- count of it and sent it to a New York news- paper i A third woman read it in the paper and sent $1,000 to the editor, and so the fresh -air charity was established, which now has its branches in many cities in the United Settee and is taking root in Eng- land and on the Continent. ceed $16. Lest week the made $3,10, and so Inc (three days) she had 90 cents to her credit. She thought I Might get In the Wanamaker Hotel and live high for $3 50 a week. They do your washing, too; nut you'll have to walk Spanieh, for there are lespottereemployedby the Arm to watch the boarders'. In a mare modest way the Wanamaker poor•honae, as late ungodly call it, is run after the Idea prescribed by the late A.T. Stewart. Family prayer's mut chapel services are abundant, and, while non compulsory, 18 18 considerably more pleasant Inc a girl to attend than to explain the rem - sons for her apathy. The rules ana regula- tions make up a document as long as the moral law, and the girl who signs the regis- try taigas away a big piece of her personal liberty. Inc spite ef the vouchers and refer- ences as to character and respectability, and the vigilance (1) of the "spotters," there are boarders) who are utterly unable to live on the salary reoeived in Mr Wanantaker's store end dregs male wishes them to in order to retain their position. • Mr. Wanamaker does nob manufacture anyclothing in either the Grand Depot or Oak Hall, far the reason that it wouldn't pelt. He can do a great deal better by 11aV. lag the cheapest grade of work done in Ger- many and sending the rest to the slop shops in and about Pniladelphia. These shops are down in Catherine, Carpenter, Lombard, Christian and Green streets. and are run by tailors who employ Poles, Hungarians, Res - dans, Italians and Swedes, and, pay them wages that barely support: life. The hands are huddled together 10 cellars or back -alley shops, and, bung ignorant of the language and the value of labor in America, and, helpless as well as destitute, they areforced by reason of their condition, to accept wages for their labor that no decent work- man can live on. They work from 7 Inc the morning until 7 at night on pants that pay them 18 cents, on coats for which they re- ceive 23 cents and on vests that realize then $2 a dozen. Don't you believe it? It will be admitted that these ex- trude are terribly. suggestive. The report ter's work of course was instigated by a political enemy of Mr. Wananetker— the "New York World"—but enemies are likelsesometimes to tell unpalatable truths, when admiring friends glory only Inc the sue cess without too closely enquiring how the success has been attained. If these state - menet are true then the escutcheon of Mr Wananaaker's Christianity, is soiled. It is vain to plead that such things are done by his subordinate!. He is the ;responsible headief the house and must bear the lion's share of what blame there is going as well as absorb the bulk of the honor and reputation. The methods deecribed, may be good enough bulginess but they don't look like good Christianity, and the world has a right to judge gg, man's religion by the way he conducts his business, and not simply by the odor of sanctity in which he may live m the estimation of his mine ster. ese_eige „,,
