The 3Iau who Guillotined Himself. Fresii the Courier dc* Etati Unit. Thc validity of the will of a person who has committed suicide is at this mo ment under discussion in the courts of tho kingdom of Naples. Mr. Couvreux selected for himself n singular manner of dying-he guillotined himself. We borrow the following de tails from the correspondence of th* Temp?. The writer obtained them from M. Jam mi, consular agent of France at Castellarnare. Mr. Couvreux, a- man of about fifty four years of age, had chosen for himself, some years back, a residence in an hotel of-?astellaraare upon the delightful bil. Qui-st sana. (Here one ? recovers hu health.) To tire public he appeared bul a simple, inoffensive lunatic ; his madnes was over veiled by a taste -Ibr literal un and art ; he touched the piano and com pased romances. Within himself he wa a prey to two fixed ideas-to lead a lif. of chastity and to die without suffering pain. The influence of the former had induced him to imitate the famous sacri lice of Origen-the second led him tt guillotine himself. He read everything that had any bearing upon the sacrifice ol the guillotine. Well-thumbed pages were found in his rooms, in which it was discussed whethc the head of the person guillotined seer and feeU after . execution. There is rea son to suppose that he arrived at the con viction that the mode of death is easy. In this belief he erected a handsome guil lotine in the door-way which opened from his parlor to his bed room. The impor tant feature in his invention was a sliding axe, which he loaded with one hundrec and thirty-two pounds of lead. He tried the instrument on several animals. 1 was afterwards remembered that ho hac often carried into his rooms cats aw chickens which had been no more seen. When he had satisfied himself as to th. excellence of his machine, he proceeded to ornament it He set it in a frame o' two red curtains gracefully drawn apart ; between the curt ins and under the lal< he planted firmly a tab.fe with stops lead ing to it, and covered all over with a black cloth." He placed a white and soft pillow near the corner of the table, upon whicl. was to rest the severed head. Everything being in readiness, toward half-past nine o'clock in the evening, h< played upon the piano a hymn to th Virgin, of hts composition. He dresse? himself in white flannel, he ascended th? steps of his scaffold, and extended himseli upon his back, looking upward so that hf might see the instrument of death fal upon his neck. It seems that to bc ab!, to sse better, he-even placed a light upoi a piece- of furniture near by. He toucher: the cord which retained the suspenden axe-?he axe fell, and st a blow struck off Iiis head, which separated itself but little from the trunk and rested in an eas\ position upon the white pillow prepared to receive it. When the room was en tere! the next morning, and all the horri ble details of the catastrophe were in ves tigaiied, Tipou the table was found a will, by which several thousands of francs were left to thc servants of the hotel. It is this will which is now being con tested before the civil court of Castella . mare. The.relaiivcs of Mr.- Couvreaux are attempting to upset the will as the act of a lunatic. The employees of the hotel assert its validity. -? ? MSLAXCHOLT SUICIDE.-The Lynchburg News mentions the following case of sui cide in that city : An aged lady, Mrs. Mary Ros?, win of Moses Ross, li vin'?; on Taylor-street, neaf 'the corner of Eighth, committed sui cide between eleven and twelve o'clock, jpn Friday night, by jum Ding into a well, on the lot of her husband, some sixty or seventy feot deep. The deceased wa? about seventy years of ?ge, and for some time had been iu failing health, which un settled her mind, and caused her thus to terminate her life by her own act. For some days previous to her death her fam ily had entertained slight suspicion thal her mind was not altogether in as. healthy a condition as it should be ; but no seri ous consequences were apprehended. On "the right of her death she retired as usu al ; but about eleven o'clock her husband awoke and found her place vacant. He immediately called up the members of . his family, and a search was instituted, which resulted in finding the mangled body ?jf tho deceased at the bottom of the wei!. Her death must have been in stantsneQus. ? BISHOP SOULE.-During the latter part of hut week Bishop Sonic had a severe attack of sickness, Which threatened to be serious, but. we are;happy to say he has, in a measure, recovered, or at least has been relieved of his extreme suffering, and was on Monday of this week resting v. comfortably, lt waa truly refreshing to Spend'a few ftours m the ch?mfce.r pf this . venerable servant of the Church, ^bere ...^Ji?'ja, full of hope, streng*in faith, cheerful in^yrrit^awnfUng calmly the call .of the .: iMjMt^jj.

A special dispatch to the New York Herald from Washington, throws new light on the rumor of the alleged abduc tion of freedmen in the South and .their forcible transportation to Cuba, lt seems that the persons kidnapped were slaves at the time. The dispatch is in part as fol lows : The President sent a message to the Senate to-day in answer to the resolution requesting him, to communicate any in formation in the paisession of \he Execu tive in relation to the alledged kidnap ping of colored persons in thc Southern States far the purpose of selling tlt?m for slaves in Cuba or elsewhere. Ft appears from thc documents transmitted,, and.from a letter written by Gen. Canby, that three colored children vrere abducted (rom New Orleans and carried to Ha vana, or some other part of Cuba, where it was supposed they were at the time the War Department was informed of this occurrence. Secretary Seward instructed Mr. Savage, our Consul at Havana, to make inquiries, in order that if the chil Ireu couid be identified proper measures ?night bc adopted, with a view to their return to New Orleans. Gen. Cauby says that the status of these children at the tin^e of abduction was that of slaves, md their introduction into Cuba was no violation of thc laws of Spaiu. A long correspondence follows, including * letter from Minister Tassara, dated February 4, 18?>G, enclosing a communication from the Captain-Generiil of Cuba, caused by he alleged kidnapping and carrying to hat island of free negroes from the South ern States to bc held in slavery. Ho says Senator Sumner busied himself in the session of the 9th January. The Captain General adds that what the Senator said is to Cuba is not true, and a case of the kind cannot be made out against i, solita ry individual. -? ?. ?- ? Colored Convention in Augusta, Ga. lt appears that a convention of colored people is about to be held jn Augusta, for he purpose of electing a delegate to Con fess to represent the Territory (?) of Georgia. We clip the following from the Tra/mcrlpl, from which it will be per ;eived that much more serious impor .ance is attached to the matter than it de .erves. It would be a most serious afluir :ould it be successfully pushed through, mt we have no doubt it will end in notti ng but harmless political smoke. The TrauKcripl says : We hear a rumor lo the effect that here is soon to be a colored convention n Augusta, for thc purpose offending a delegate to Congress #s a representative ii the Territory of Georgia. The scheme" ;s a new plan for subjugating thc South, invented by Stevens and his cabal in Congress. It is proposed to 'hold the ne >vo conventions at the South, elect negro ielegates to Congress, and admit them in leftance of the President and of public sentiment. The Radicals are determined o act as the French Convention did in relation to St. Domingo, and their course .an produce only similar results. O? jfuirse, savs the New York Herald, th** whites of the South will not submit to >e thus ousted from their rights ; a negro insurrection will ensue, and the President viii have to interfere to prevent a general massacre. This latest scheme of Sancho /aliza therefore, by no means funny, ind is not in keeping with the character .vhich he otherwise assumes very well. Fortunately, however, thc South is still inder martial law, and any movements owards said negro conventions may be promptly suppressed. President John en proved by hts speech on thc 22d of February-which was no joke, all asser tions to the contrary notwithstanding that he understands Sancho Panza Ste vens thoroughly, and is ready to cast the Satun out of him at thc proper opportu nity. -? -o. .. There is one spot where our Northern riends seem to be getting enough of the i^groes. They are said to be as thick as .laekberries, blackbirds, blackheart chor .ies, whortleberries, or any other dark .bjects around Old Point Comfort, Camp damilton, Hampton and the whole adja .ent country literally swarm with them From Fortress Monroe to Yorktown the whole country is a catnp ground for the ?ions of Ham. Looking to the fact, per laps, that thc pleasures of Old Point as t bathing place of fashionable resort, may be much diminished during the coming summer, by the presence and participa tion of CufTee in the enjoyments of the season, the officers, soldiers, and attache* ofthat locality are said to be getting tired of CufTee. They have no idea of swim ming and wallowing in the water of the same bath-house with the gentlemon from Africa. Though water, and especially sea ?vater, is a highly purifying element, yet t would seem as if it was thought there will not be enough in Hampton Roads and Chesapeake ?ay for both whites and blacks, when the bathing season com mences. This enormous accumulation of negroes on the Peninsula is easily explained. Bounded on each side by the James and York, two rivers abounding in fish and lysters. the Peninsula is a garden spot for CufTee, because he can live without labor, on thc natural products of salt water. Thc cotmtry, moreover, abounds ?ii raccoons and opossums, " varmints" that have a wonderful "attraction for the negro. The scheme of* colonization in Florida, which thc Officers at the Pjjint tee said to have under consideration for the uegroes about lhat place, is not likely to be palatable to CufTee, unless thc fish, oysters, 'coons and 'possums could accom pany him. Wc expect our military friends at; Old Point wm yet wish Cuflee in a better re gion than Florida, before they have seen the last of him.-Richmond Times. How TO DRESS WELL-A friend in forms us that he hired a smart boy some time ago as a bouse servant, and the boy served him faithfully for s very moderute compensation. ' Our friend was, however, uneasy in miud. ou one point-the boy dressed-much better than his employer, aud it was impossible to understand whence the cash came to purchase the flue clothes he wore. Visions of missing tabl? spoons, or something of a similar nature, arose painfully in, his disturbed mind, and he determined to question the mysterious dandy as to how the thing was done. The question was satisfactorily answered, thus :. " i plays High Low Jack I wid a party dat don't onderstand the game like I does."-Charleston News. A COLD IN* THE HEAD.-A Dr. Pal ?on, of St. Foy, France, has discovered a new method of curing the special malady of New England-cold in the head.

This rem edy is said to be peculiarly advantageous to singers." " -1 THE TiioucnT wnicn CUEKRS A.DYINO HOUR.-Said a dying man in my hearing once : " Wy life hus been a failure. I have mado v fortune to leave to my rela tives to quurrel over when iain gone, and what is there in that thought to cheer me now 1 There ia but one green spot in the dreary waste of a long life, and that is the fact that ? took a number of poor boys by the hand and aided them in be coming men. I can run over in my mern ory more than a dozen such, who are now useful and honored men, both in Church and State, whom 1 aided and encouraged in obtaining an education. They will dp some good in the world, if I did not." The tears r;m dowti his cheeks as he thus spoke and he turned himself on his bcd, and gently sunk into the arms of death. We shall ucver forget that scene. It daguerreotyped itself upon the pago of memory, never to be effaced. The Louisville Journal having pub lished a paragraph stating that "Mr. and Mrs. Brewer, of Kentucky, have twenty two children," a correspondent writes : "The remembrance of the above para graph, in your paper some timo ago, in duces me to tell you of an old man, whom we see coming to Knoxville about once a week. We call furn Grandpa JDavis. Ho is upward.of ninety years old. His wife has given. birth to twenty-nine'children, twenty-eight of whom are still living. They furnished the Union army in the late war with twenty-five recruits. Is there another man who deserves tho ap pellation of " loyal" to a greater extent than Grandpa Davis? Does he not de serve a pension at the hands of a Govern ment lo which he has contributed so large ly to save. -?-?.?-. j?gy* There is a girl in-Troy whose lips are so sweet that they stick together every morning by the honey they distill, and she cannot open her mouth until she has parted her lips with a silver knife. She will be a treasure to her husband, not only on account of her sweetness, but because she can occasionally keep lier mouth shut. --v ? ? " Grandmother," said Ike, seriously, to Mrs. Partington, " have you heard the report dat the Prince of Wales' baby has not ? ot: all his fingers on one h. nd, and that both h'is legs' are not right V " Lor' bless me !" exclaimed the old lady. " Then how could he ever wield the scep ter of the realm, or walk as he ought to walk !" Ike, however, pretended not to hear the remark, but began clipping thc cat's whisker's, and grinning, to think that his grane:ni other did not see that nobody has all the fingers on one hand, nor any body two right legs. ~ GEO.
