? i _J FAMOUS SUICIDES. A IJat ofCoD(T??men Who llave Died by Their Otra Ulandi. Congressman Culbevlson, of Kentucky, who attempted suicide a week ago, and has been the subject cf so muon com* ment, is on the high road to recovery. Ile will soon be in Kentucky looking after his iron manufacturing interests, which are quito large. Mr. Culbertson's rash act recalls some interesting incidents of that nature among men who have preceded bim in House or Senate. One of tho most prominent of thoso was the Buicide of the Hon. Preston King, who for many years represented, the J?late of New York in the Senate ol the United States. Ho was a large roan in figure and in heart, a sort of David Davis in person at least, and, like most persons of large weight, was tender-hearted and sympathetic. He was appointed by President Andrew Johnson Collector of the Port of New York, ofter bis retire ment from the Senate. The duties of that ofliceand thc annoyances of its ad ministration, particularly the appeals (or position, bore upon the mind of King, und one doy he was found missing. Efforts to lind bim were, after a week, successful, when his body was found floating in tho river, attached to which was a twenty-five , >und bag of shot. The tender-hearted Collector, driven to desperation by the appeals of office seek ers, had sought death in this manner. The suicide of so prominent a man in such a strange way created (mite a sousa tion at that time, and it is well remem bered by old New Yorkers iu government service here yet. Anothersuicideof note was that of the Hon. Thomas Jefferson Rusk, of Texas, who was a member of tbe Senate in 1830, aud who committed suicide just! after his retirement from that body, hy shooting. Whether the story of Senator Rusk's suicido is as ac curate as that of Seuator King is uncer tain. Il can only be given as gathered here, and is not a matter of historical record, as is tho caso of Senator King. Senator Rusk was very proniiueut iu Texas, which State bo represented in tho Senate. Ho had been Secretory of War iu the Republic of Toxin when it was a republic, and lind held other prominent positions there. In tho early history of Texas many of its citizens were, the Btory goes, men who had found it con venient to leave their former residence* on account of incidents which law and good society did not tolerate. Tho story that this was tho cause of Mr. l?tod/? removal from South Carolina to Texan has never been verified, but thero isa story of this sort. Anyway, bo the facts what they may have been, yet it is alleged that his suicide was tho result of having this sort of charge thrown again*! him in tho Senate dining a debate. His ntiicide was by Hhooting, nod occurred at his home in Texas soon after leaving tho Senate. A Kentuckian whasc illustrious cxnmplo Mr. Culbertson tried to follow was Congressman H iso, who represented Kentucky in tho Thirty-ninth 'ingress, and had been elected to tin /oriieth. He had also been United States Minister to Guntaronlo, and hud likewise taker, a Erominent part in negotiating a treaty etween the United StateH and Great liri tain, immediately preceding tho Clay ton-Dulwor treaty. His suicide was sup posed to have beeu the result of mono mania, caused by overwork. Still anoth er Kentucky suicide wat that of James L. Johnson, who was *n the Thirty-first Congress. He suici^ad at Owensboro, Kentucky, during a fit of despondency caused by illness. Whether Mr. John Ewing, who repre sented Indiana in the Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth Congress, committed suicide is not stated in bin to ry, but bia death was at least a curious one. He was found Bitting in his chair at Vincennes dead, and the following couplet, freshly writ ten, lay beside him : Hero lies a man who loves his friends, His Qod, hlB country and Vincennes. His death occurred in 1807. Felix McConnell, of Mississippi, was one of the most brilliant orators in tho Twenty eighth and Twenty-ninth Congress ; but Felix had a weakness for liquor, so tho story goss, and after s long 'spree cut h!s throat at the St. Charles Hotel, in this city, and died. John D. Ashmore, of South Carolina, was in the Thirty-sixth Congress, and was also in the Confeder ate army. He blew out his brains in 1871, at Sardls, Miss. Williamson lt. W. Cobb, of Alabama, was a member of Congress from 1867 to 1861, when he withdrew on the secession of Alabama and became a member of tba Confeder ate Congress. His death occurred from a pic.ol shot, the weapon being hold in his own hand, though that it was inten tional suicide is not certain, tho suppoab tion being tbat the discharge of the pis tol was accidental. There have beeu rumors hore of late that tho Hon. Hies, tar Clymer, of Pennsylvania, who a few .weeks since waa reported as having fall en a victim to apoplexy, really died by his own .hand ; this, however, has not been confirmed. James H. Lane, of Lawroncebutg, Ind.. a son of Amos Lane, wbo represented tbat district in Congress and waa a Sena tor from Kansas from 1801 to 1868, shot himself a? his homo in Kansas soon ador h is retirement from the 8enate. 8obieski Ross, who was in the Forty-third and Forty-fourth Congresses, from Pennsyl vania, suicided shortly after his return from Congress, by shooting, in bis barn at home,.io Pennsylvania; loss of health and consequent despondence were alleged ns the cause. John White, of Kentucky, who was in the Twenty-fourth, Twenty-fifth, Twentyslxtb.Twenty -LO ven i ?i ii LU] Two- i ty-oight Congresses, and was 8peaker of tho House iu the Twenty-seventh, and uncle of John D. White, member of the present Congress, committed suicido at Richmond, Ky., by cutting bia threat. Jesse B. Thomas, who waa lo the Tcuth Congress from "Indiana Territory," who was later on Senator /rob Illinois, oulcl ded in 1850 by cutting his throat with a razor because of mental aberration. Alfred P. Stone, who was io tbe Twenty eight Congress from the Columbus, Ohio, district, was afterward appointed Collec tor of Internal Revenue/' and, having engaged in some contraband calton spec ulations and became a defaulter, suicided upon the discovery of this fact by taking poisoo and dying op?n the graves of his two children, at the cemetery near Co lumbus, io 1865.- Washington Cbr.

Tho case of Dr. Taft, of Hartford, who was informed by eminent physicians tbat ono of his lungs bad been destroyed by disease und tbat bo could not liyo six mouths, but who dkl not believe it and lived on comfortably till sixty year* of] age, leads the New York Hour to com ment on the frequent blunders about certain internal maladies and the effect of imagination upon physical !? filth : It cannot be doubted that every year thousands of people are frightened iuto their graves by unfavorable reports on the condition of their lungs. Each vital organ bas disorders and weaknesses pe culiarly its own ; and the lungs have their tull sharo. Pain in tho che' is always attributed, by persons oiilicted, to diseased lungs, and the influence of the imagination upon tho vital organs is no powerful that the malady may be quick ly increased. Tl; jre are some forms of malarial fever which induce terrible ach ing in the chest The victim knowing nothing of pathology, or even of physi ology, attribute? the cauco to either pneumonia or consumption, and begins at once to break down. Coufcultaiiou with an ordinary country practitioner usually verifies bin fears, and unies*, he dines at a well-spread table and has n good appetite-which seldom accompa nies malaria-he either gives un and dies or ho hurries away to a henltii rest for consumptives. Heart disease i* another popular hum bug which physicians too often support. The heart is tho most vital of tho physi cal organs, but, like all the other", it cnn and does endure; a great deal of abuse. It is very easily affected sympathetically, so any temporary disorder of stomach, lungs or liver may make its action irreg ular or cause pain which seems to be located directly in the heart. Almost every one has many acquaintances, ap parently healthy, who have told him in strict confidence that they have heart disease. A well bnonn physiciun had a by e ance which prore-sional skill cr.uld "aug Hon whose heart, tested by every appli gest, seemed to 1 e terribly diseased, so tho youth was for ten years treated ns u delicate invalid. Finally, the father no ted that his paroxysms ol pain, followed by extreme exhaustion, ulways came alter meals which cither were extremely hearty-tho patient's appetite being fitful -or after repasts, the viands of which were incongruous or very rich. Ho im mediately changed his treatment, sought thc malady in the stomach instead of the heart, found it wns indigestion, acted accordingly, insisted upon regular meals with plenty of nutritious but plain food, and the heart disease disappeared nH if by magic. It should be remembered by tho afflict ed or tho frightened that all tho vital or gans are out of sight, and that the ex treme of skill and experience can only imperfectly ascertain their condition. Tho kidneys aro the only exception to this rule for their condition tor the time being can be judged to some extent by what comes from them. Hut even this test may be misleading, and it is tho means of a frightful amount of the abuse of tho feelings and pockets by quueks and unscrupulous physicians. The ex creta of the kidneys is uniform only in persons whoso habits of eating, drinking, sleeping, bathing and working are abso lutely regular. ' The natural deduction from all this is that no person should give up to fears regarding tho heart, luugs or uny vital organ until he has first tried the effect of absolutely regular and intelligent physi cal habits. Plenly^of well-cooked food, few or no stimulants, regular rest, fre quent bathing, and either steady work or plenty of moderate physical exercise, nave in a short time restored to health thousands of persons who have been given up to die of vital disorders. Such treatment costs no more than the ordinary methods of life, and' as Boon as fairly begun it becomes very pleasant. Be yond doubt it is far preferable to dying of fright. Kilkenny Cats. Ihe story has been so long current that it btu become a proverb-"as quarrelsome as Kilkenny cats"-two of the cats in which city ore asserted to have fought so long nod so furiously that naught was found of thom but two tails, ?he cor rect vorsion o? this saying is this: Dur ing the rebellion which occurred in Ire land in 1798, Kilkenny was garrisoned by a regiment of Hessian soldiers, whose custom it wr.3 to tie. together, in one of tho barrack rooms, two cata by their respective taila, and thoo throw them face to face across a line generally used tor drying clothes. The cats naturally became infuriated and scratched each other in the abdomen until death ensued to one or both of them. The officers were made acquainted with the barbariuus acts of cruelty, nud resolved to put an end to them. For thia purpose au officer was ordered to inspect each barrack room daily and report its state. The fold icm, determined not to lose the daily torture of the cats, generally employed one of their comrades to watch the approach of their officer. On one occasion he neg lected bis duty, and tho officer was heard ascending tbe stairs wbilo the cats were undergoing their customary torture. Ono of the troopers seised a sword from the arm-rack, and with a Bingle blow divided tho tails of tho cuts. The cats escaped through the open window of the room, which was entered instantly afterward by the officer, who inquired what was the cause of the two bleeding cats' tails being suspended on the line, and was told in reply that "two cats had been fighting in the room; that it was found impossible to separate them, and they fought so des perately that they had devoured ench other un with the exception of their two taila."-Irith Nation. ?Dead Kau?s Uulch." The following incident occurred during the early days of the Californian gold fields, and is characteristic of the state of | things that existed amongst tho diggers at that time. A miner had died in a mountain digging, and as he was much respected, his acquaintances resolved to give bim a "square funeral," instead of putting tho body in the usual way in a roughly made hole, and saying by way of funeral service, "Thar goes another bully boy under 1" They sought the service? of a miner who bore the reputation of hav ing, at one limo of bia career, been "a powerful preacher in tho States." And then, far western fashion; they all knelt down while the extemporized pastor delivered a prodiginor^ly long prayer. The minera, tired of this unaccustomed opiato, to while awsy the lime, began, digging fashion, fingering the earth that had been taken from the grave.' Gradu ally looks were exchanged, whispering commenced and increased, until it became loud enough to attract tbe alien* lion of their parson. He-opened his eyes and stared at the whispering miners. "What kit. boy? ?" Then, as suddenly, bis oyes lighted-on sparkling acales of gold, he shouted, "Gold, by jingo 1 And tu? riches kind o' diggiu' 1 The congre gation is dismissed I" Instantly every man brgan to prospect the new digging, the pardon not being tho least active of the number ; The .body had to be buried elsewhere ; but the memory of the inci dent ; lived from the name given to the locality, for "Dead Mao's Gulch" became one of the riches!, gold fields in all Cali fornia.-london Family Herald. <- A brori2o meda) and certificate have just been warded, in England to a lau named Mitchell, only thirteen years of age, who, ut Southampton, saved from drowning a boy aged five.

One of the junior office-T of tho Thetis, says a New York special of August 16, talking to-day on buard tho ship of the chargo against tho Greely party, said : "Here, on this very spot, one of the sur vivors held us through all ono night tell ing, if words can tell, of his first taste of human flesh. He would givo six years from his life to forget it, but, ho said, that first taste, tho sensation of having between bis teeth tho flesh of one who had once been his friend, wai with bim always. Waking or sleeping, be seemed to fuel his lips pressing tho smooth, flab by meat thal must be choked down some how if he would live. And Iben the in human, savage way of getting it ! Each feeder upon such food must cut ofT his own Hhrtds of flesh. No friend could be found to perform this horrible office. Every man, if he would eat, must of necessity bo bin own butcher, and these canibalistic orgies, these midnight feasts, were secret. The little beaten path, worn smooth between the graveyard and the wretches' tent, told its own tnio. Hut every dweller JU that tent aliut his cyr* and refused to t-ce. Body after body was stripped of flesh, but none of those that trod that little path dared speak of this. No man asked a question at tho too common sight of a Mtarviug wretch creep up to the only fire al midnight, carrying in his hand n strip of flesh. As he thrust this into the flume on the end of a pointed slick no one of his compan ions nay* a word. And when tearing the smoked flesh with his teeth ho lies down and another of the would-be-sleepers arises up and goes silently down that mysterious path, kuifu in band, it is easy to guess his horrid purpose. "And tho after effects of these ghastly feasts were as awful as tho descent upon '.he mangled corpses. The mere thought if what they had eaten brought on nausea, and in their weak state tho stomach refused to retain this human flesh. Is it wonderful that theso 'nen will carry that sensation of chewing human flesh forever ? 'I hope mid pray I muy forget il when 1 die,' was tim only prayer that tho wretched cannibal could truly pray. It was his heaven of heavens to forget that awful, sickening taste." A Fatal Accident. Yesterday while Rube Fianklin, thc well-known colored well digger, was en gaged in cleaning oui tho well on the farm of Mr. David Wise, about two miles from Aiken, lost his life under the fol lowing circumstances : It appears that Rube declined to use the new well-rope of Mr. Wise, but preferred to bring his own rope from home, with which ho commenced his descent into the well, seated upon the top of thu bucket, and when only five or six feet from tho lop the rope broke and ho was precipitated to tho bottom of the well, which is 108 feet deep. It will thus be seen that the unfortu nate man fell a distauco of over IUD feet. As soon as possible the body was re moved from the well, when it was fourni that life was exlino* his neck having been broken, us well ns one of his arms, and a hole knocked into his skull, besides other injuries. Rube Franklin, or "Old Rube," as be was called, was probably the oldest and most experienced nell digger in Aiken County, ile lias probably dug more wells than any mau in the County, and bis work invariably gave satisfaction, if ho had been a man of sober hnbits he might have saved from bis earnings what to a colored person would have ueen a very snug sum, as the digging of a well in this vicinity is a serious and expen sive matter. Jabe Franklin, the son of "Old Rube," was murdered by Virgil Briggs several years ago, Briggs dying in jail after trial and conviction, pending an appeal of bis case to the Supreme Court. T J father and son were both well-diggers, and both have perished by violent deaths. homo Tar Heel Wit. One of our dignified fathers, on going home recently, found bis little son under the house, whither ho had taken refuge from his mother, to avoid the just deserts of his conduct. Tho father, taking off his coat, crawled after him, when the litilo fellow, in a whisper, asked: "Is she after you, too?"-Reporter. A negro called at an undertaker's in Lincolnton tho other day, to buy a coffin for a relative, and after giving biB order, remarked : "Boss, please let me have the colli n as soon as possible, fur we wanta to bury promptly at ll o'clock, so we can go to the defesterment."--Lincolnton Pre??. A good story is told us of a hotel on tho Carolina Central below Charlene. A drummer stopped there for breakfast A uniter came to bim to know what he would have.

The drummer concluded >.ot to take "algs."-Lincolnton Pres?. This is the period of politeness. An old gentleman and his daughter drove into town tho other day with come pro duce, and stopped in front of a store. A citizon rushed off of tho sidewalk and hailed them joyfully, helped them out of the wagon, and when they got ready lo unload got. ip and handed out things.
