Sit SELF-MURDER • AlArmlng Xneieaae of the Solclde lUnla lm the Crfted states. r , [From the Chicago Tribune.) Suicide in the United States is reach­ ing a point where we are warranted in OQmpeting with France, both in the number of those who shuffle off the mor­ tal coil, and in the unique methods and motives of the operation. The uncouth Indiana farm-hand, whose machine for self-murder has already been described in these columns, has never been rivaled by any madman in France in cool and horrible ingenuity, and the papers dur­ ing the past week or two have contained narratives of suicide, the motives for •which are as strange and unaccountable as ever impelled any Frenchman to jump to the life to oome. This mania, for suicide is worth the attention of the moralists and the psychologists, not alone for the alarming frequency of its manifestations but for the apparent in­ sufficiency of cause that leads to it in so many cases. There are instances where s u i c i d e i s n o t a n u n n a t u r a l c r i m e . A man may be afflicted with a painful and incurable disease. He may have suffered agonies with it for years until life grows to be a burden and death is a happy re­ lease, and rather than suffer on without hope he takes his life and ends his mis­ ery. A man may be broken down in health, hopelessly ruined in business, persecuted with creditors, deserted by his friends, and see no avenue of escape from his sufferings except by self-mur­ der. A man in an unguarded moment may have committed some dishonorable action, and unable to endure his shame or to bear the pricks and stingo of con­ science he frees himself from his mental torture in the only possible way. In all these cases, although they show a lack of courage, there is a sufficient motive. It has operated since the creation of the world and will continue to do so to the end of the world, assuming that coward- will live until that time. There are numerous cases, however, in which no decent cause can be shown, and some for ^hich there is no cause, decent or indecent. In New Jersey, the other day, one little girl attempted to take her life because she had been nanghty and felt badly about it, and another because her little companion had died and would be lonesome in Heaven without her. It might be possi­ ble for a very maudlin person to extract a grain of sentimental ism out of these juvenile suicides, but the average opin­ ion of sensible people will be that, if the parents of these precocious self-mur­ derers had been more profuse in the use of t&e birch upon their darlings, they would have had more sense. In Atlanta, Ga., a few days since, Miss Lily Harri­ son, a school-girl ®f 15, daughter of the most prominent Methodist clergyman of that city, threw herself into tlie river rapids and was drowned. The Colum­ bus (Ga.) Sun says that, " On reaching the bank, which is about forty yards, slope to the water, she discovered a Mr. Names, who, standing not far off, she thought, and correctly too, was watching her. She immediately rushed for the river. Mr. Names pursued her. When he was within forty feet of her she had reached the water's edge--she tore her collar loose in front, looked around with a smile as though exult­ ing over a conquest, gave three swings and leaped from the rock." A very melodramatic exit from the world, but no cause is known why the young girl should wish to make any exit at all. In New York city, last Sun­ day, a young lad of 16, clerk in a bank­ ing-house, shot himself, and no cause is known why he did it. Sometimes the motive for suicide verges on the ridicu­ lous, as in the case of Diedrich Braun- lieben, 62 years of age, and old enough to have known better. This precious fool cut his venerable throat because his second wife refused to go with him and assist in paying his respects to the grave of his first wife. The only creditable feature of the affair is that he had the good taste to cut his own throat, instead of getting mad with the second Mrs. Braunlieben and cutting hers. For the suicide of fools and madmen, of gromi-np male idiots and adult maud­ lin women, we may at least invent some excuse, but what excuse will be sufficient to explain this dreadful propensity of children to coftunit self-murder ? What possible cause can there be that the dawning of life should be so clouded over ? Young life never has a denoue­ ment of tragedy. There is no situation in childhood so desperate and distress­ ing that there is not a strong proba­ bility of relief. The sky is not always overloaded in youth. The storm and shine alternate m every young life, how­ ever hard the circumstances of its sur­ roundings may be. Despair only springs from the accumulations of years and the buffetings of fate continuing until the victim is no longer able to en­ dure tneM. The cause of these juvenile suicides is hard to find, because, in a natural, healthy child, the whole course and condition of life tend in an opposite direction. The Ants of Africa. When they grow hungry, the long file spreads itself through the forest in a front line, and attacks and devours all it overtakes with a fury that is quite irre­ sistible. The elephant and the gorilla fly before this attack. The black men run for their lives. Every animal that lives in their line of march is chased. They seem to understand and act upon the tactics of Napoleon, and concentrate with great speed their heaviest forces upon the point of attack. In an incred­ ibly short space of time the mouse, or dog, or leopard, or deer, is overwhelmed, killed, eaten, and the bare skeleton only remains. They seem to travel night and day. Many a time have I been awakened out of sleep and obliged to rush out of the hut into the water to save my life, and, after all, suffered intolerable agony from the bites of the advance guard, who had got into my clothes. When they en­ ter a house they clear it of all living things. Cockroaches are devoured in an instant. Rats and mice spring around the room in vain. An overwhelming force of ants will kill a rat in less than a min­ ute, in spite of the most frantic strug­ gles, and in less than another minute its bones are stripped. Every living thing in the house is devoured. They will not touch any vegetable matter. Thus they are, in reality, very useful (as well as being dangerous) to the negroes who have their huts cleared of all abounding vermin--such as immense cockroaches and centipedes--at least several times a year. When on their march the whole insect world flies before them, and I have often had the approach of a bashikouay army Heralded to me by this means. Wherever they go they make a clean sweep--even ascending to the tops of the highest trees in pursuit of their prey. Their manner of attack is an im­ mense leap. Instantly their strong pin­ cers are fastened, and they only let go when the piece gives way. At such a time this little animal seems animated by a kind of fury which causes it to dis­ regard entirely its own safety and to seek only the conquest of its prey. The bite is very painful. The negroes relate that criminals were, in former times, ex­ posed to the path of the ants as the most cruel manner of putting them to death. The Business Outlook. The woolen trade, like the cotton man­ ufacture, has had a great trade sale, and set a basis for future action. About $800,000 worth of woolen goods were thrown into last hands by this sale, and are now passing under the tailors' shears, whence they ought to reappear in cloth­ iers' prices even lower than those now current: These great sales fill the mar­ ket for the time being, and the cotton manufacturers, discouraged by the prob­ ability of a general omission of divi­ dends on the 1st of July, talk of a con­ current suspension of the production of print cloths, and some other staples, for a month. The Sprague mills have closed, throwing 10,000 operatives out of em­ ployment. The iron industry seems to be having more of a revival than almost any other. There continues to be groan­ ing in the pig-iron manufacture, but we notice the manufacturers yielded to the puddlers, recently, on a strike at Pitts­ burgh, rather than close their works. Trade in some specialties is brisk-- particularly in screws, in wire-cloth and wire manufacture--the Washburn works, at Worcester having a business fully up to last year's. About '25,000 tons of iron rails were ordered of American makers in May--one-half of them for Tom Scott's Texas-Pacific road. Meantime, our manufactures are being pushed abroad with considerable activity. American agricultural implements now have their excellent qualities advertised by many of the largest dealers in Eng­ land. There will be a continued conva­ lescence of business through the current year, and by the time the election is out of the way, and a new administration, with no financial doubts, is inaugurated, we shall be ready to enter on a new epoch of healthy industry.- Springfield Republican. The Late (ton. Custer. George A. Custer was born at New Rumley, O., Dec. 5, 1839. He gradu­ ated at West Point Military Academy in 1861, and, the civil war having broken out, was appointed Second Lieutenant of cavalry, and was present at the battle of Bull Run, and afterwards was employed in the defense of Washington. From October 1, 1861, to February, 1862, he was absent on sick leave. After recov­ ering, he rejoined the army, and was ad­ ditional aide-de-camp to Gen. McClel- lan during the campaign on the penin­ sula and that in Maryland, being Captain of staff.. He served through the entire war and took part in more than 60 en­ gagements in which cavalry were em*, ployed. In the volunteer service he reached the rank of Major General. He was mustered out of the volunteer ser­ vice Feb. 1, 1866. In the regular army he received several promotions, the high­ est being that of Brevet Major General. His regular rank, however, was that of Lieutenant Colonel. As such in theSeventh Cavalry, he was, in July, 1866, ordered to frontier duty in the Northwest. About 1872 the Indians in this region began to be troublesome, and Custer was engaged in many encounters with them with almost uniform success. In the summer of 1874 he conducted a large military and scientific expedition into a region among the Blue mountains, hitherto wholly unexplored, which was found to be well-watered and fertile, and ap­ parently abouuding in mineral wealth. He has published, from time to time, papers in various periodicals, describing his experiences in this region. These, with more or less revision, have been published in a separate volume, *4 Life on the Plains," New York, 1874. Health and Longevity. It would seem from statistics gathered by medical men that invalids are more likely to attain a great age than are the healthy and robust; and that life assur­ ance companies would be wise to accept them as patrons, instead of rejecting them, as is now the custom. In a recent lecture by Dr. R. Southley, it is de­ clared that: "Health and longevity are not syn­ onymous ; neither are health aud great muscularity. The most muscular men, great prize- fighters, men who could fell an ox with their fists, have been known tojbe always ailiug, and complaining about themselves. The state of perfect training, regarde dby those who know little of it as a condition of the most perfect health, is rather one of morbid imminenoe. Longevity, like height, is a race attri­ bute, but it does not signify health. The three oldest people I ever knew-- women who reached respectively 89, 98, and 100--were valetudinarians, and had been so nearly all their lives." HENKY HoiiLENBACK, of O^ego, got drunk and threw his 5-year-old boy into the Susquehanna river. Another man rescued the boy and left him on the bank unconscious. Then the father took up the child and attempted to knock out his brains against a stump. Thereupon the neighbors concluded that they ought to interfere, and Hollenbach was arrested.

He finds the market flooded with pro­ prietary medicines, scores of which ire recom­ mended as certain cures for his peculiar ail­ ment. He reads the papers, circulars, wad almanacs, and finds each sustained by plausi­ ble arguments setting forth its virtues and specific action. The recommendations are as ptrong for one as for another. The cures claimed to have been wrought by one are as wonderful as those claimed to have been wrought by another. In his perplexity and sufferer _ is sometimes led to reject .. .^ should be born© in mind that this condition of things is one that cannot be reme­ died. In a land where all are free, the good-- the truly valuable--must come into competition with the vile and worthless, and must be brought to public notice by the same instru­ mentality, which is advertising. In such & case, psrhapo the onlv absolute' proof that a remedy is what it claims to be, is to try it. The 4'test ef a pudding is the eating of it." "Prove all thinge, hold t thai which is good, is the apostolic injunction. There may, however, be stronger presumptive evidence m favor of one remedy than there is in favor of another, and this should be allowed its due weight, A due regard to this may save a vast amount of experimenting and a useless outlay --. luey we prepared oy a new and scientific process by which the virtues of the crude plant* and roots are extracted with­ out Wie use of a particle of alcohol. Not a par­ ticle of this destroyer of our race outers into the composition of either his Golden Medical Discovery or Favorite Prescription. This con­ sideration alone ought certainly to rank them fcigh above the vile compounds saturated with alcohol, Jamaica rum, sour beer, or vinegar, which are everywhere offered for sale. Again, they are of uniform strength, and their virtues can never bo impaired by age. They are also made from freeh herbs and roots, gathered in their appropriate season, whea they are Hush with medicinal properties. In support of these claims, the following testimony is offered: R.

I near such re­ marks as "Sage's" Remedy completely cured me; it is a splendid thing;" or, "Pierce's Discovery is just whit I wanted ; I feel better than I ever did." One of our celebrated singers uses it for strengthening her voice, and says " there is nothing equals it;" and so I might give scores of remarks said about your prepara­ tion. A colored woman was using your Dis­ covery, and, after taking three bottles, was completely cured. She, being in the store, said to me, " I don't want no doctors 'round me so long as I can get the Discovery ; it beats all your doctors." And so I might go on. I am, most respectfully, youra, ATHA B.

Schcnfk'i Sea Weed Xonic.--in the atmos­ phere experienced here during the Bummer months, the lethargy produced by the beat takes away the desire for wholesome food, and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, particularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating diseases. In order to keep a nat­ ural, healthful activity of the system, we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose Schenclc's Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A few dosea will create an appe­ tite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic* in its nature is totally different from such drugs. It contains no corro­ sive minerals or acids; in fact, it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles the gastric juice that it is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes the food to be digested ; and when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indi­ gestion, with all its distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Schenok's Sea Weed Tonic la sold by all Druggists. PEAROK A CO., General Commission Merchants, 213 N.
