THURSDAY, JUXE 8, 1S7J.

BucivELS, in his "Civilization in En land" gives facts going to show that suicide is periodic, or rather epidemic—that there are years in which men and women take their own lives, and there are other years when but little of it is done. That it depends upon conditions, rather than circumstances, and that when the time comes our common humanity commences destroying itself, without either "ryme or reason" for it. The New York Times has an article bearing on this question. It says: "Within a year or two the business of amatory assassination has so grown in such proportion as to demand a seperate page in the bulky chronicle of murder. At iirst it confined itself to the crude and unsatisfying, not to say inartistic, form of single homicides of recusant young men or women by rejected suitors of either sex. Of this sort, the number in the period mentioned, has been large and varied. But these performances lack completeness, and it was inevitable that some aspiring soul, regarding love as dearer than life, should at last introduce the charming fashion of double love murders, or the still more attractive combination of murder and suicide on the latest Parisian model.

Once fairly brought into public notice, it is surprising how fast and far the practice has spread. Nothing is more common nowadays than for Romeo, when fate or a cruel father frowns, to elude tyranny by pistoling first his Juliet and then himself. Indeed, a young gentleman of Michigan so far improved on this suggestion as to shoot not only his intended, but every member of her family whom he could reach, thus making a clean sweep. Two similar instances occurred in Chicago, last week, in one of which a young German shot himself after killing his sweetheart, because she had accepted another escort to view the German peace procession. This method, however, is not the highest refinement of which emotional insanity is capable. Mutual and simultaneous poisoning is the latest and most approved solace of despairing affection. To be sure, a couple in Massachusetts, not long since, preferred to drown themselves, and actually did it. But that innovation seems to have been •received with no great degree of favor. Poison has heen love's favorite since the days of the Capulets, and poison it is now that heals the woes of blighted attachment from Maine to Illinois. It is to be observed, however, that in the majority of cases of recent occurrence, where a young man and a young woman have agreed in this manner to take their lives, the woman lias resolutely carried out her part of the bargain, while the man as invariably has failed. So it happened not long ago to a gentleman of Ohio, who has consequently been arraigned for murder by a coldhearted community. And Mr. William

R. Scott, of Lawrence, Mass., in imitating his example, has also been unaccountably ill-iucky. He took arsenic with his beloved, who died in consequence, while the hapless Scott survived to learn the opinion of an intelligent jury on his act.

If the prisoners in the two cases last cited should be convicted of manslaughter, at least, and properly punished, it might go far to cure this pernicious mania, born of romantic ignorance and morbid passion. Moral insanity, as a legal theory at least, has had its full share of crime and wretchedness to answer for. It i-: to be hoped that the kindred feeling of emotional insanity may not be fostered to an equally evil prosperity."

FROM Chicago comes the news that the Rev. S. H. Tyng, Jr., of Now York, who preached for Mr. Cheney, had previously received a note from Bishop "NVhitehouse informing him of Mr. Cheney's deposition, and reminding him of the canon forbidding a participation in the services with a deposed clergyman. Mr. Tyng paid no heed to the letter, but preached both sermons, Mr. Cheney reading the morning and evening services for him, and the two gentlemen uniting and administering the Eucharist. The congregation was the largest ever assembled in Christ Church. In the evening, even the chancel and vestry were crowded, and hundreds of people were obliged to go away, not being able to obtain standing room.

In the morning sermon no allusions were made to the existing troubles but^ in the evening sermon the bore more directly on them, the text being "Jesus heard that they had cast him out and when he found him he said unto him,Dost thou believe in the Son of God John ix, 35. Mr. Tyng, among other things, said that when the church interferes with the rights of individual conscience, illuminated by the AVord of God, and the liberty of the Christian in his relations to his Lord, then the Church becomes anti-Christ forit assumes the functions of Christ, and substitutes itself in Christ's stead. At such a time of apostacy from Christ and His truth it is a blessing to be excommunicated, for the "cast-outs" of the Church are found to be followers of Christ. This passage W&s received with applause, which Mr. Tyng immediately checked, reminding his auditors that they were in the Church of God and not a lecture-room. Mr. Tyng concluded by exhorting his hearers to jjQld fast to the old Catholic doctrine— 11-

"In essentials, unity in non-essentials, liberty in all things, charity." The Bishop denies having sent the Reverend gentleman any such note. 1

MR. WENDELL PHILLIPSprotests

that

men ought not to be judged by their theories, and it is on this ground only that he and that nondescript body—the New York Positivists—can escape rather strong condemnation by public opinion. They have justified the Paris Communists, and declared that the concluding atrocities of the revolution ought not to dim the glory of its motives and its beginnings. But the Commune began by abolishing property rights, and ended by destroying property it began by attempting to overthrow religion, and ended by reckless waste of life, to which religion has long been the most pi .verful protection. It aimed at the abolition of marriage, and concluded by turning women into incendiaries and assassins. It proposed to substitute universal license for marriage, the children to be cared for by the public, and its retreating footsteps, as. it abandoned the streets of Paris, were stained with the blood of children, whom it dragged behind the barricades for the sake of their puny resistance to the avenging army of the Government.

THE electric telegraph has almost encircled the globe. To-day we have information that a sub-marine cable has been laid, and is in practical operation between Singapore and Hong Ivong, thus placing the British colony at the last named port in direct communication with London. When the gap which now exists in the girdle shall be filled by a cable under the Pacific Ocean, we shall have practically abolished the old term of "East" and "West," and shall have such another confusion of telegraphic time-tables as no man heretofore has dreamed of. And, whether, the last last link in the electrical chain shall be a cable under the Pacific, with a station at the Sandwich Islands, or a longer loop up the American and down the Asiatic coasts, the consummation of the great work is probably not so very far off, after all.

THE good work of punishing unfaithful Governors goes on. It is but a short time since Governor Holden, of North Carolina, was removed from his office for flagrant official misconduct and now in the Northwest the Senate of Nebraska acting as a court of impeachment, have returned a verdict of guilty in the case of David Butler, the Governor of that State, and he likewise is Governor no longer.

Gov. Butler was accused of misappropriating the public funds, of corrupt dealings in relation to school money, the public lands, expenditures for public buildings, and, in fact, of engaging with some of his cronies in a general and comprehensive system of plunder.

THE Terre Haute Express lias received a note from the Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks —in reply to an inquiry addressed to him —confirming tho statement that not a single rebel is disfranchised by any act of Congress or constitutional amendment. That breaks the "amnesty" plank of the Democracy into small pieces.—Madison Courier.

We do not believe Thomas A. Hendricks was ever foolish enough to write any such a note. That the editor of the Express should believe such a thing is highly probable, but no one having the reputation that Mr. Hendricks has for sound sense and learning, could entertain such an idea for one moment.

WE give to our readers to-day a communication on the "New Departure," from the pen of an old Democrat. He takes the right view of the situation, and we have no doubt his views will be those entertained by the entire Democracy as soon as there is time for the sober second thought.

take the following from the

"Semi-Monthly Review of the Diario Official," of Mexico, May 10: "TREATY BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.—It not being possible for the united commission, that was appointed to settle the claims between Mexico and the United States of America, to conclude all of said claims ponding thereupon, within the time specified lor the same in the Convention of July 4th, 1S68, a new treaty, extending the founctions of said united commission, has been celebrated between Mr. Mauuel Azpiroz and Mr. Thomas H. Nelson, as plenipotentiaries of their respective Governments.

The New Convention was approved by the Congress of Mexico, and we believe we can announce before lonp, its approbation by the Senate of the United States of America.

The new Convention is of the greatest importance, on account of the great laudable interest the two Republics hare in arranging, in an amicable and regular manner, the claims existing between them, and which are still pending befoi-e said commission."

This is an important duty confided by this Government to the hands of Minister Nelson, and we have no doubt he will discharge them with honor to himself and eredft to his Government.

Tho following we also clip from the Two Republics: DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, MEXICO, May 1,1871. SIR :—I have received a communication from Captain R. W. Shufeldt, dated at Minatitlan, April 19, which contai.18 the gratifying intelligence that a practical surface canal route has been discovered across the Isthmus of Tehuantepee, by tho surveying expedition under his command. This route begins.at the mouth of Goatzacoalcos river on the north passes through Tarifa at thesummit and terminates probably at Salina Cruz on the Pacific. The canal will be about one hundred and ten miles long, exclusive of rivers and lagoons utilized, and will require a "feeder" of thirty miles in length. The water will be taken from the "Rio Corte" at a point where an abundant supply can be obtained at the proper elevation.

Captain Shufeldt, on the eve of his departure from the IsCTnnus, requested me to convey to the Federal Government of Mexico, his warui appreciation of its hospitality, wild also to express his hope that the favorable result that has been attained, in harmony with the Mexican Commissioners, who have joined his party in some of their most arduous explorations, will'prove satisfactory, and in the end, redound to the material advancement of Mexico.

I need scarcely add, that in these expectations and good wishes, I most cordially join.

I havo the honor to remain, with great respect, your obedient servant [Signed] THOMAS H.' NELSON. Hon. Manuel Arpiroz, Department for

Foreign Affairs, Mexico

The Franklin fund, which was lea to the city of Boston in trust to be lent to young married artificers, now amounts to $156,000, but no "young artificer" has yet profited by the fund, as the benevolent B. F. intended.

A San Francisco paper says that Mrs. Laura D. Fair takes the greatest pains with her toilet in prison, often changing her dress three or four times a day. She passes much of time before her mirror, and, while admiring herself, says: "The more I see of myself, the more I am convinced I can never be hanged. Such a face and form as mine were never created for the gallows." She modestly asserts she never was so handsome as she is now.

Preparations are actively progressing for the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition to open September 9th. All the arrangements contemplate a larger display than that of last year.

Mitm iX-iTAI Tlie following conversation recently took place between parties living in litis city, and being reported to lis, we give it as nearly as possible word for ord.

Mrs. B. to Mrs. R.—I saw you with a new dress on the other day as you were passing my house. How much did you pay for it?

Mrs.R.—Fifty-five cents a yard. Mrs. B.—Why, they asked me 75 cents a yard for it! Mrs. R.—Perhaps you saw it at some other place than where got mine. Mrs. B.—Why, where did you get yours?

Mrs. R,—I bought it at the NEW YORK CITY STORE. Mrs. B.—Do you then trade at Foster Brother's? I wouldn't buy a cent's worth there. i-

Mrs. R.—Pray, why not I always buy ivhcre I can bay the cheapest, and I am sure there is no pleasanter place in town to trade than Foster Brothers. They are polite and agreeable, and take a great deal of trouble to suit their customers, and are never impudent to you, as they are at some other stores in town, if you don't happen to get suited.

Mrs. B.—But I have been told that they didn't sell as cheap as they advertised to do, and that if I went there to trade I wouldn't get goods as cheap as they promised to sell them. .1

Mrs. R.—Why, they constantly ask you in their advertisements to cut them out and bring them with you that may see for yourself whether they do or not sell as they advertise. Some of the other dry goods merchants have been stufting you. They all hate the New York City Store because it has put down prices. I have been surprised to hear certain dry goods merchants in town, who claim to be gentlemen, talking in the most false and slanderous manner of the firm of Foster Brothers.

Mrs. V.—I have sometimes thought myself that what they said was hurting them and helping Foster Brothers, for I am told that the latter are now doing a larger business than ever. How long have you been trading with them, and have you always found them reliable and their goods as represented

Mrs. R.—I have tiaded with them ever since they opened, and have always been well satisfied. Once, however, I got a linen lawn that they warranted would wash. After I got it partially made—the breadths all gored—I thought I would cut off a small piece and try it. I was disappointed in finding that it faded quite badly. I was, I must admit, a little put out about it, for I knew that as it was cut out they would not exchange it, for I had already had a case of this kind with another store in town that had sold me a dress that was warranted to wash, but which faded, and when I went back with it, they not only wouldn't allow me anything for it, but threw in with the refusal an unusual amount of impudence. However, I determined to take this dress back also, and give Foster Brothers a "blessing" at least for warranting it to me. Going in I happenad to meet Mr. Foster himself, and I commenced at him in a manner neither "child-like" nor "bland." He asked me in a very quiet manner to explain the matter to him, adding, "There is nothing we dislike more than to make mistakes, but there is nothing that gives us more pleasure than correcting them." I explained the matter to him, when he said: "As our clerk warranted it to Avash, we are, of course, in honor bound to make up your loss to you, whatever that may be. We would exchange it, only it is cut into so many pieces." You may judge I was surprised when he offered to return me half my moneg. I suppose I ought to have been satisfied with that, but really the dress was of no value to me, and I told him so. "Then," said he, "we will take the goods back just as they are and return you

Mrs. R.—And I quite agree with them. Now to-morrow I am going around to the New YorK City Store to get some muslin, and if you will call around and go with me and examine the goods and inspect their prices, and see with what patience and pleasantness each customer in all the throng is waited upon, I will be very much mistaken if you don't make it in the future your favorite shopping place.

We submit the above without comment. Eyiden Mrs. R. is quite able to take care of herself. We are certainly under great obligations to her for the good words she has spoken in our behalf. F. B.

Mrs. B.—You certainly were treated well, but do you think they still do things in that way? As your dress was lawn, you probably bought it when they first started. Perhaps they do different now.

Mrs. R.—I have every reason to think this is one of the settled principles upon which they do business. You must have certainly seen that they constantly advertise to return the money for all goods bought at their store that are not in everyway satisfactory to tne buyer. No other store in town will do that.

Mrs. B.—Now you speak of it, I do remember that they have been so advertising. But I have one objection to these gentlemen, of which I have not yet spoken, and that is that they are so personal in their advertisements.

Mrs. R.—Yes I heard Mrs. T. talking in that same way the other day, and I havn't a bit of patience with either of you. You go and listen for half an hour to the low, personal abuse heaped upon these men by some of their competitors, and then you profess to be shocked and are virtuously indignant because this firm have simply dared to say what they have repeatedly offered to prove—that for years our dry goods stores have been charging unreasonably high profits. No one knows what they state to be a fact better than you do, for you and Mrs. T., and Mrs. H., and several others that I know, used to go to Indianapolis and Chicago for most all your dry goods previous to Foster Brothers bringing down the prices, and yet you stand by and see a combination entered into to drive them away from town, and you hear falsehoods told in regard to them weeks before they opened, and then after their opening you see everything thrown in their way whereby their business may be obstructed—you see their small cash boys beaten in the streets—their goods piled at Ihe door cut with knives—members of the firm assaulted in the streetsefforts made to entice away their help—and yet for all these you have not one single word of condemnation. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. For my part I glory in the pluck of these young men who do not propose to have any body ride rough-shod over them.

Mrs. B.—Really, Mrs. R., you are getting quite eloquent. I didn't know I should bring down upon my head so sharp a lecture, or I should have kept quiet. However, I am not sure'but that there is some truth in what you say, and I promise at least to think the matter over. Perhaps I may conclude to try this firm myself, for, to tell you the truth, my friends are many of them telling roe I am foolish to pay the old 'stores 20 or 30 per cent, more for goods than Foster Brothers are charging. ..
