body lay a bottle and glass, from which
he had taken the fatal potion. His hat
and coat lay near him, and he was well
dressed, and had on a gold watch, gold
collar and cuff buttons. His diamond
shirt studs, which he had on when last
seen, were not in his shirt. No cause
has as yet been discovered for the rash
act. A jury of inquest was summoned

Their actions were of tli'Stt nature to
impress Upon the mind of tile observer
that the “war had been extended into
Africa,” and to forcibly remind the
proprietor of the house that he was the
party whom “the racket” was likely to
affect most, taken in a pecuniary view.
But they were mad, good mad, and
cared neither for expenses' or conse-
quences, and went in for smashing up
things in general—they wefe, in fact,
determined to establish their reputation
as “smashers” of the first water. Some-
body said they had been reading a let-
ter written by “Bead Rrummel,” and
that was the way they had of manifest-
ing the peculiar influence sitch litera-
ture was liable to exert, but we ad-
vanced the suggestion that a sudden
desire to scale the “ladder ot fame,” as
“smashers” lay at the bottom ot the
whole transaction, and that though
“Beau Bruminel” was a considerable
name hereabouts, upon feeling his
pulse, we were not disposed to think
lus case ah intricate one, or that his
letters were calculated to give any one
the “gymnastics” quite so badly as the
“waiter boys” seemed to have them.
