Lincoln, he opposed the idea strenuously advanced by Sumner, and Stevens, and that wing of the Republican party which they led, that the States in rebellion had committed suicide and were therefore dead and without rights, or entitled to consideration, even, in any proposition that might be adopted for their rehabilitation. This record very effectually disposes of the criticisms of Mr.
Since going to press, we hear that startling developments are expected in the matter of the suicide of Mr. Mark Fenwick. On excellent authority we are informed that the police hold a warrant for the arrest of Fenwick and others, on a series of criminal charges, among which that of uttering counterfeit coin is not the least prominent.
Peculiarly apt for musical setting is the tale of the fascinating little 'mousmé' who contracts a so-called Japanese marriage with a lieutenant in the American navy, and after a brief union is driven by his perfidy to suicide.
Suicide would be preferable to that; but it seemed almost as if the gods themselves had vetoed self-destruction by providing that roisterer's corpse at the critical moment and putting the plan for its use into Galen's wise old head. He must take the field like Spartacus of old; but he must have a goal more definite and more attainable than Spartacus had had.

A man who gives his life for his country, his mother, or his wife, is not a coward, though he may kill himself with his own hand." "The Church would call him a suicide."

This is so not merely in the sense of insanity but of suicide.
So 'after the sop Satan entered into him. At that moment a soul committed suicide; and none of those that sat by, with the exception of Christ and the 'disciple whom He loved, so much as dreamed of the tragedy going on before their eyes. I know not that there are anywhere words more weighty and wonderful than those of our text.
Occasionally the people are too eager to express the last shade of the author's meaning, as in the conversation between Neste and Vivarce, when the latter decides to commit suicide, or in the supplementary comments when the action is really at an end. But I have never seen a piece which seemed to have been written so kindly and so consistently for the benefit of the actors.
The late afternoon had turned gray and cold, and dashes of rain fell as our party descended to the whirlpool.
