That never ached before;

With solemn tears run o'er.

Will never come to fruit.

All gone, ?he old sweot charms;
At my side leans a loving wife;

FOREIGN NOTES.
-The young men of Frankfort do not Uko
tho Prussian conscription, and to evade it are
becoming Swiss citizens by the thousand.
They ean take out the Swiss naturalization
papers. The only people in the world who
talke at all kindly to military conscription aro
the French.
-There is a great deal of excitement in Rus?
sia in consequence of the discovery of a sect
called the Skoptzl Beet, and the arrest of its
leader, Kouzniene Florine, who is said to be
worth several millions. The object of tnis
sect is the destruction of the human race.
Each member undergoes a horrible mutilation,
which is practiced on women as weil as on
men. Or?genes, in tho fourth century, was tbo
founder of this soct, whic? is now extremely
wealthy (it has 400,000,000 france in its Irea
oury) and numerous.
-A curious disease prevails ou the west
coast of Africa, especially on the Gaboon,
which consists in an irresistible inclination to
sleep. Mo pain seems to bo experienced; but
. tha patient stumbles readily, his step is totter?
ing, sense of feeling seems to be wanting, and
objects used as a support are gi osped very un?
steadily. The consciousness does not seem to
he diminished, and the breathing and diges?
tion are normal. When the patient is awaked
he returns again into a deep sleep in a very
short time. The disease does not yield to any
remedies, and generally ends in death. Its
precise character has not yet been ascertained
with certainty.
-With spring are revived*>u Europe tho ap?
prehensions of war, which winter had driven
away. The formidable armaments of the
various powers aro doing nothing, and t num?
ber of restless spirits begin to look round for
causes of quarrel. No one interferes with
Spain. One advantage at all events of the
revolution has been to preserve her from the
temptation of wrangling with her neighbors.
The Parliament of the Northern Confederation
ot Germany is ut work upon fluancial ques?
tions, but outbursts now and then of opinion
show that tho national jealousy of dictation
of France and the resolve to be sometime more
than a mere Prussian Eiagdom aro active and
strong.
-English soldiers, on the expiration of their
first term of service, have heretofore been in?
duced to re-onlist, by extra pay, am ou i tin g to
one penny per day additional, by new clothing
without charge, and by twenty days' marohing
money, to enable them to return home to
spend the two months' leave invariably allowed.
This practice has been abandoned, on the
ground that the government does not wish to
fl U the ranks with old, broken-down veterans,
at a great expense. It is asserted that it wilt
be oheaper to buya new soldier than to pur?
chase abad second-hand article. This item of
o ost of re-enlistments is one of the petty savings
recommended by tho new government, and
will involve greater expenae in the end. The
difficulty in Groat Britain has always been to
Und a sufficient number of men who would en?
list; and the plan of retaining steady soldiers
io fill positions on the non-commissioned staff
would'seem to be a judicious oue. The extra
penny is an inducement to the privates tu
behave well; and, besides, it seems oruel, after
unfitting a man to pursue a regular trade,
either to turn him loose on the world, or only
to give him the same meagre pittance aa he
received at the beginning of his career.
-A most extraordinary pieoe of scandal is
'contained in the English and Irish papera of
recent date, being nothing less than the elope?
ment of the wife of Captain Vivian with the
Marquis of Waterford. The deserted captain
is a Lord of the Treasury and a member of
. Parliament foi Truro. The lady left her home
one Monday morning, alleging that she intend?
ed to proceed to Brighton to see her mother
and would return the same evening. As, how?
ever, she failed to make ber appearance, Cap?
tain Vivian proceeded to the Victoria station
and there ascertained that the Marquis of
Waterford and Mrs. Vivian had the previous
morning taken tickets fur Paris by way of
Dover, accompanied by a friend. He followed
them to the French capital .and soon found the
object of his search at a well-known hotel. Mrs.
Vivian heard of her husband's arrival
and locked herself up in an inner cham?
ber. Captain Vivian, however, succeeded in ob?
taining assistance and burst open the doors.
He then ascertained that Mrs. Vivian had at?
tempted to commit suicide by swallowing ohlo
. roform. Th o quantity taken was not, however,
sufficient to cause more than partial insensi
. bihty. Captain Vivian is understood to have
implored his wife to return for the sake of her
children, of whom there are four, but that she
peremptorily refused, although her husband
assmed her that her escape should be kept a
profound secret. The lady, however, remain?
ed firm in her determination not to return to
the shelter of her home, bat pleaded that she
might be allowed to retain her youngest child.
Thia request Captain Vivian declined to com?
ply with, and returned to London without
having encountered the Marquis of Waterford.
The latter has.it is belie ved, caused a communi?
cation to be made to Captain Vivian that when
the Judge Ordinary of the Divoroe Court shal]
have dissolved the legal tics which now pre?
vent his marrying Mrs. Vivian, hs will, as a
man of honor, make her the only compensation
la' his power. '
TUE BLACKSTONE HORROR.
Frightful Tragedy In Philadelphia-A
Hypochondria^) Murelers his ?Vite. Son
and Daughter -He ilrowit? Himself in
the Delaware-Setailg of the Horrible
Cri nae.
Tbo details of the last tragedy in Philadel?
phia, sfipplied by cur Philadelphia exchanges,
are unspeakably revolting. The murder of a
wife and two almost infant children, and the
suicide of the insane father, constitute a crime
almost without parallel. There was no motive
and no passion-no jealousy-no drunkenness
-no greed for money-nothing bat in-nulty.
? whole family blotted oat of existence in one
day by the loss of one haman intellect. We copy
the particular? from the Age of Wednesday :
Wc have to reveal to our readers lu? circum?
stances ol a tragedy so sickening m its details
that the very memory of it canses a shudder.
On Monday, shortly after dinner. Mr. Etina
ton, of the firm of Fanston & Blackstone, gilt
frame manufacturera, M J. 913 Market-street,
received the following brief though awfully sug?
gestive telegram from Zelah Lee, of Madison,
Conn-:
"Have received a letter from James that his
wife and ohildren are killed. 'Telegraph im?
mediately."
Upon receiving this intelligence, Mr. Fun
ston wac horror-stricken; the James sooken
of in tho message was James Sindsloy Black?
a^w^a, bis partner, and knowing that his asso?
yais, of late, had been deeply melancholy, his
mirra became tiled with the worst of fears.
/Tarrying to tho boase in which Blacks tono
dwelt. Mr. Punbton informed Oflacer Eli F.
New nani, cit tho ninth police district, of the
moesage. Tho latter ran to tue dwelling. No.
815 Judeon-atreot. a Bmall thor militare which
runs north from Brown-wtroot, between Twen?
ty-third and Twenty-tom th streets. He tiied
the front door, but it did not yield; he rang
tho bell, but thero came no roHponao; bo ran
around to he roar of tho row of dwellings, and,
leaping over the fence, hurried up to the
kitchen wintlow. Tho shutters bo lound bow?
ed but he pulled theso apart, raised tho sash
and looked in. Wha' a horrible picture greot
od him. ono HO ghastly that tho remembrance
of it will live lonjr in his memory. He Baw
lying- upon the floor a woman with her head
terribly gashod and covered with blood; lying
upon her lett were two little children, with
their tentures mutilated and their hoads rest?
ing upon their dead mother's clothes.
This is tho theory of the manner in which
the murder was committed. At an early hour
on Monday morning Mrs. Blackstone got up
from where she was Bleeping in one of the
upper chambers, and, dressing herself -com?
pletely, went down into tho lt it elton. Whether
Blackstone wont down with her at tho time, or
subsequently, is a question which no mortal
can solve. Procuring ber kindling, sim emptied
tho grate ot tho range, placed the wood
and theu put on the ooah While bending over
the range, Blackstone eteDDod up behiud her.
an.1, raising an axe, which? he had procured,
H truck her a terrible blow. The sharp edge of
tho instrument ?ut a frightful gash in tho wo?
man's right cheek, and crashed through her
Jaw, almost severing it completely from the
rest of the bony structure of ber face. As the
victim raised lier hoad, the murderer again
raised the axo and struck her, the in?
strument this time burying itself into the
neck, severing the windpipe and chipping the
spinal column. She coula make no struggle
-tor death must have been too sudden. Tbe
little boy, Lee, may havo iun down when his
mot her did, and have Been the enactment of
this part of the tragedy, or he may have been
called from the room above by his mother's
cries. However, ho came into the kitchen, and
the murderer catching hts little Bon, beat his
brains out with the pole ot the axe. -ioing iuto
tbe dining room who rc his beaut! tul little three
Sear old daughter lay, lie murdered her by
eating the skull until its bony structure was
entirely shattered.
Aftor the tragedy was enacted, the mur?
derer-the hnuband of the one and 'the father
of the two other viotims-did not seek in any
manner to cover up tho terrible crime. He
stepped back into tho Vitcheu, howover, and
taking the body of his wife, still warm and
"overed with blood, laid it out upon tho bare
floor, with the head lying towards the window
opening upon tho Bide ailey. Then taking the
mutilated bo iv of his son, he stretched it out
upon the same" floor, but partly on its face, and
with his head resting upon tho mother's hips.
Then, going into the dining room, he lifted the
bleeding form of his little daughter, whoso fea?
ture^ although Bot rigid y in death, wore
a sweet, pleasant smile, and carrying it
into the kitoben, placed it beside the form
of the boy. Only in one way did he try to
evade a too hasty discovery. The current of
blood which welled trom tho gashed throat of
his wife was running towards the kitchen door,
and fearful that it might course through under
tbe door, he rolled up a white table cloth and
laid it across the floor, BO that the bloody tide
would be stopped. Then eroing to the sink, he
took a small rag and with the aid of water
cleaned his hands of their red . stains. Then
Elacing upon the Bink a boiler which might
ave then standing in his way, he left the
scene of his fiendish butchery, and putting on
his clothes pasBed out the front door, which he
closed and walked down the street. But the
thoughts of the terrible crimo he could not
efface. He acted strangely-like one who did not
know what to do-as if his mind was conf used.
While passing on in this manner an officer of the
ninth polic j district accosted him. He respond?
ed in so unusual and ?trange a tone that he
was taken in oustody-the officer believing
him insane. Learning that ho was to betaken
to the Btati in, Blackstone broke away from his
custodians and dashed down street, evading
all pursuit; on he went, now running, now
walking quickly, until he reached Chestnut
street wharf. Tho sight of the water did not
stop him, but stopping on to the edge of the
wharf, and before a hand could be given to his
rescue, he plunged in o the water, to rise once,
twice, and then sunk-. The morning papers or
yesterday all chronicled the death, by drown?
ing, of a mau named ". -meka ton e." but none
then know that this act was the ?nale to the
most shocking tragedy that had occurred since
the Deering family waa butchered.
The murderer was born in Brantford, Connec?
ticut, in 1882. His wife, Isabella Lee, waa born
in Madison, in tbe sumo 8tate. Their marriage
was solemnized on the 2d of December, 1857.
About fourtcon months ago Blackstone came
to this city, and immediately became associa?
ted with Mr. Funaton in the manufacture of
gilded frames, at No. 912 Market street. Ever
since his arrival a deep melancholy began
to manifest itself, and though he did every?
thing to secure the enjoy tuent of his obildren
and his wile, whom he seems to have deeply
loved, etui he reaped none of that pleasure
which he gave to others. He was a fine look?
ing mon, strong, healthful, and with good
moral qualities-everything indeed to make a
nan loved and respected; but he could not
make off that heavy brooding spirit. In the
1 welling, when searched yesterday, were found
?nany costly articles of jewelry, suoh os gold
watches, rings, bracelets, &e.
