very narrow strip of self-destruction.
In New Yoik and New .lersev suicide

in Pennsylvania about two to one; in
Delaware and Mat viand just theieverse
of these, murder exceeding suicide by
one-thiid and one-half. Homicide in
the District of Columbia is appalling,
compaied with its population; there
appear to be little deposition to J'tlo

a quarter of the homicide; m West
Virginia the two crimes aie nearly
equal, suicide preponderating slightly.
In the Carolina murder is to suicide

homicide over suicide remains as thiee

famous essay; il is ten times as gieat
as suicide. In Nevada the proportion
of the latter is about; one-lift h of the
former. In California there is a vast
amount of both, suicide preponderating:
can it be because of the homesick Chi

"We went on oerthe hill to IJethanv:
we hadciimbed upb the path on which
David lied front Absalom, and we were
to return by the road of the Triumphal
Entry. All along the ridge we enjoed
a magnificent panorama: a blue piece
of the Dead ea. the .Ionian plain ex
tending lar up towards Ilermonwith
the green ribbon of the river winding
through it, and the long, even range of
the Moab hills, blue in the distance.
The prospect was almost wiss in its
character, but it is a mass of bale hills
with scarcely a ttce except in the im
mediate foreground, and so naked and
desolate as to make the heat t ache; it
would be entiiely desolate but for the
deep blue of the sky ami an atmosphere
that bathes all the great sweep of peaks
and plains in color.
IJethanv is a squalid hamlet clinging
to the rocky hill-side, with only one re

A few wretched one-story huts of stvue.
and a miserable handful of Moslems,

reached by a steep descent of twenty
six steps, is the damp and doubtful
tomb of Lazarus, down into which am
one may go for half a franc paid to the
Moslem guardian. The house of Man
and Martha is exhibited among the big
rocks and fragmente of walls; upon
older foundations loose walls are laid,
rudely and recently patched up with
cut stones in fragments, and pieces of
Itoinun columns. The house of Simon
the leper, overlooking the whole, is a
mere heap of ruins. It does not mat
ter, however, that all these dwellings
are modern ; this is IJethanv, and when
we get away from its present wretch
edness we remember only that we have
seen the very place that Christ loved.

Prince Orloff, the Russian Ambassador,
has assured President Mac Mahon that
Prince Milan being proclaimed King,
has produced a very bad impression at
the Russian Court. Russia, although
determined t defend vigorously the

non-observance by the Turks of the sus
pension of hostilities, he will also dis
regard it if an opportunity arises for
obtaining an advantage. The Minister
