A Well-known IVashlngtontan Dies from
an Overdose of Laudanum.
The Washington Patriot of yeeterday says:
One of the most deplorable cases ot suicide,
or perhaps of death resultlBg from an overdose
of laudanum taken by mistake, that has hap
pened in our .midst for a number of years,
occurred on Saturday night last. The victim was
Mr. William Peterson, who was known for years
as one ot our leading; merchant tailors, conduct'
lng business on Pennsylvania avenue. About 7
o'clock P. M. on Saturday, information was
brought to Sergeant Clayton, of the police force.
that a man was lying la the Smithsonian grounds
apparently dying. On going to the encloture
the Sergeant found Mr. Peterson lying in the
northwest corner of the Smithsonian lot, about
oppobite Eleventh street, in a kind of stupid
condition, near tne roadway, and xaUlng In an
attempt to arouse him the sergeant looked
around and discovered a vial marked "lauda
num. lie at once told tne man that he must
come with him to the Central Guard-house.
Mr. Peterson agreed, and, walking with the
officer, stated that he had purchased twenty-five
cents worth of laudanum, which he always took
when getting over a spree.
During hla stay in tbe station-house Peterson
was visited frequently by the oflicers, but their
efforts to arouse him were futilo. Dr. Hartigan
was called in at a late hour, but ne was unable
to arouse Peterson from his stupor, and he died
at a Quarter to I o ciock yeeterday morning.

WASIIBURSE ASP TI1E COMMUNE.
The American minister and the American
Colony During the Perils of the Hoar
IVhat II Did to Ameliorate Sufferings
and Tone Down Outrages.
Paris, June 6. Mr. Washburne is the only
ambassador ef a great power who has moved
between Versailles and Paris during all the
recent troubles, as he was the only one who
remained in Paris during the siege performing
the difficult task of providing for and protect
ing his own countrymen, caring for the deli
cate affairs of Germany, and yet maintaining the
mott intimate and cordial relations wild M.
Jules Favre and tbe Government of tbe National
Defense.
It is true that two nr three Journals, habitu
ated to seeking out victims to wbom they could
npslgn the disasters of France, pounced upon Mr.
Washburne for the readiness and success with
which he placed 50,000 Germans beyond the
fury of a Paris mob. But these journals,
fidgety after a notoriety they partially achieved,
won a conspicuous failure In their crusade
against the American Minister. It is hardly
possible for a reader 3000 miles away froia the
scene of action to understand with what.inesse
all diplomatic operations must be conducted in
France. I do not refer to what the French call
finesse, for that means intrigue and dissimula
tion, but to tbe finesse employed by Mr. Wash
burne, explained as a bold and resolute course,
friendly alike to France and Germany, but inde
pendent, manly, and outspoken.
MR. WASUBCRNE'S POSITION.
It was not difficult for tbe most talented and
logical of Frenchmen to understand Mr. Wash
turne's position. They perceivou and praised
it. They saw in it a reflection of the honest
American character, and the exact attitude of
the United States toward a country suffering a
terrible national mortification. The other class
of victim seekers and recriminators could not
perceive and would not understand. The same
is true of tbe remarkable sixty days dating
from the dark 18th of March. Mr. Washburne
never for a moment sympathized with the move
ment begun on that day. With a remarkable
clearness of vision he argued that though it might
be a revolution, it was one headed by mon who
had nothing at stake by putting their wild theo
ries on the shoulders of France; one against
the popular sense and desire, and in every re
spect a revolt and an insurrection. At the same
time be was the Minister of tbe United States,
and, acting in the interests of his countrymen,
it was necessary to have certain relations with
the Communists to protect life and property
jeopardized in the capital. His connections
with these men were not, however, official, nor
even as decided as those of Prince Bismarck,
when tbe German Chancellor spoke of ''an ar
rangement with the Commune."
HOW ARCHBISHOP PARBOY MIGHT HAVE BEEN
SAVED.
The world knows how, by employing a little
tact, Mr. Washburue toned down many arbitrary
proceedings and undoubtedly saved many lives.
, Archbishop Darboy Is an example. Our minis
ter visited this good man, condoled with him
and softened the aggravations of the prison cell.
He held the instrument of deliverance la his
hands, and it only needed policy on tbe part of
M. Thiers to save the life of tbe eminent pre
late. All the Commune desired was the rendi
tion of Blanqul an old, sick, wasted, and fast
dying revolutionist, condemned to death for
participating in the fiasco of the Slst of October
then Mr. Darboy would have been set at
liberty, but, no; compromise, never! and so the
veneranie Arcnbisnop died.
The Paris Journal of this morning, in an ar
ticle full of bitterness, thus speaks ef Mr.
waehDurne:
BITTER INSINUATIONS.
If it were not for the respect which we bear
to the republic of the United States, we would
make figure at tbe head of tbe devoted friend
of tbe insurgents of the Hotel de Ville, Mr.
Washburne himself, tbe official representative
of his government near our government. The
role which Mr. Washburne played during the
siege of Paris by tbe German troops, and the
intimate friendship of his first secretary, Colonel
Hoffman, with our enemies, had already ren
dered these two gentlemen passably suspected.
Thus the article goes on, stating that Mr.
Washburne had addressed Groussel as "mon
cher ami" in several letters found, and that it
cannot be perceived how Mr. Va6hburne could
continue to represent the United States in
France.
This is the
GRATITUDE
of the French people towards a man who put
the fate of their Catholic Archbishop in the
hands of the Government when lie (Mr. Wash
burne) was a Protestant; this is the thanks Mr.
Washburne receives for having ameliorated, as
he did by bis personal Influence, many ot the
outrages of tbe Commune, when there was not
another living Ambassador wno could nave done
as much; this, In fine, is the meanness of the
French character. Of course there is no foun
dation for tbe insinuations contained in the
quoted paragraph, and I give it not to reply to
it, but simply to illustrate the ignoble passions
of the hour. When the
HISTORY OP THE PAST TEN MONTHS
in Paris thall he written, there will appear no
figure more conspicuous for integrity and iorce
of character tnan mat or jur. wasnburne. ills
diplomatic duties have been overwhelming, his
success signal, and without a 6tain. He has
been the only man who could hold at bay the
sanguinary criminals of the Commune without
improving them; tbe only man who. could move
between the chateau of Louis XlVand the Hotel
de Ville without paying court at one or standing
in abject humility at the other.
The Famine in Persia.
The horrors of the Persian famine Increase. A
correspondent, writing to a Turkish journal
from Tabreez underdate of April 30, says: "The
details which reach us here of the destitution
and misery which the drouth of last year has
caused in the central and southern provinces of
Persia are fearfully heartrending. That the peo
ple are dying of hunger, even in the streets of the
capital, is a minor phase of this terrible cala
mity. In Khorassan parents are selling their
children as slaves to the Turcomans in order to
keep them alive; and in Ispahan, as Is said, men
have been seized, in the act of digging up the
corpses to serve as food for their starving fami
lies. In Shiraz Kermau and Yezd the wretched
surTereis endeavor to support life on the grass
and roots which they may find in the neighbor
hood, and, as might be expected, pestilence
follows hard on the footsteps of famine; be
tween them the half of the kingdom ot Persia is
becoming rapidly depopulated."
A later account of tbe famine is elven in the
Times of India ot May 13. which eays: "The
famine in some parts of Persia is severe beyond
comprehension. Kain was for long hopefully
expected, but it came In very-measured quan
tlty, and too late to tura away the foe that was
already at the door. Thousands are said to have
died by the wayside of sheer starvation, or of
starvation coupled with the diseases it invariably
brings in its train. Most of tbe dead He un-
buried a fact which may be regarded
as the sure precursor of pestilence. At
first, when self-preservation by any means
whatever became a question to be decided, yea
or nay. tbe former alternative prevailed witn
tbe Mussulmans, aud more than one human
being is said to have been killed aud eaten by
them. It is stated tbat tbe sights to be seen,
and not to be avoided in the neighborhood ot
Shiraz, are such tbat European residents will
not leave their bouses. Also, between Shiraz
and Bushire. thousands of dead bodies lie un
burled. Amid all these tales of privation and
deatb, how is-it that we hear nothing of mea
sures of relief, except now and ainilu by the ac
knowledgmeiit ot a donation of a fe rupees in

Impressive Scene In Notre Dame Paris In
V Mnnrnlnir.
Pari Corrttporulinx London Ttltgraph.
Within the venerable Cathedral of Notre Dame
which has Just acquired new Interest from the fact
that its niRgnlflcent pile made a narrow escape from
destruction at the hands of the insensate Commu
nists a few days ago 1 have to-day witnessed a dis
play of funeral pomp exceeding anything that has
ever been seen, even In this city of spectacle, for
nearly a whole generation. Before describing the
sspect of the great edifice into which this forenoon
streamed the ministers, the deputies, the generals,
the civil dignitaries, and Intellectual celebrities of
France, 1 may state that the funeral celebration was
fivefold in its character.
THE MORTAL REMAINS
of the Archbishop of Paris, Monselgneur Darboy,
formed, Indeed, the ceuiral object of all the solemn
pomp ; but bis gorgeous catafalque was set about by
minor structures, bearing the corpses of four of his
principal companions la captivity and deatb, Di
rectly beneath the centt al spire, at the crosslugof
nave and transepts, rose the stately catafalque on
which the coffin of the archbishop was to be de
posited. It was a dais, raised absut twelve feet
above the level of the pavement, and at the angles
of which four handsome columns the shafts ot
which were covered with black velvet, wntle the
capitals were of mnsslve silver supported a balda
chin or canopv, with rich hangings of the same ma
terial, adorned and relieved by cords, by embroidery,
and deep silver fringes.
TUB FUKEKAL CAR
which bore the archbishop's remains was drawn by
six horses, and almost literally covered with silver,
while another, less gorgeous, but still splendid, car
riage bote the corpse of Monselgneur Surat. Iu the
procession there were no signs of a public mourning
beyond the presence of tb military and the clergy
in considerable strength. The soldiers who pro
ceeded the funeral car consisted of a numerous
body of cuirassiers, line men and capitally mounted,
a detachment of the 23d Keglment, the general of
division and his start; the 23d, 31th, and 4Sth Kegt
nicnts of Infantry, with fixed bayonets aud arms re
versed. Then following muttled drums came mourn
ing coaches which contained the principal clergy of
the Diocese of I'arls, while the cross and crozler and
other insignia of the archbishop were carried imme
diately before the car itself.
After the "ottice" had been chanted, the remains
of Monselgneur Surat, Monselgneur Deguerry,
Monsieur Becourt, and Monsieur Sabatler were re
moved for private interment; absolution having
been previously pronounced on all the Ave bodies by
the canons aiid curesof the diocese, who surrounded
the corpses, and took part in throwing holy water
upon them. Until 8 o'clock, however, the coffin of
the archbishop remained on Its catafalque; but then
the "Vespers of the Dend" were chanted, and the
body of the third martyred Prelate of Paris was
lowered Into the tombs of all the archbishops. Tne
ceremonies were conducted in chief by Monselgneur
Allou, Bishop of Meauv, the oldest of the French
bishops, who was assisted by MonRlgnor
Chlgl, the Pope's Nuncio, and several other dignita
ries of the Church. The arrangements of the occa
sion were nndcr charge of the Cnanolno Chminallles ;
the cathedral decorations being carried out under
the care of M. Levy Vaillard, manarcr, and M. Go
don, architect of the Compaguin da Painpg Fune
br8. I may mention that the company has never
undertaken the conduct of a more sumptuous fune
ral observance, excepting that for the Duke of Or
leans, which cost loo.uoo francs. On the present
occasion the normal charge would have been TO.ono
francs; but as the State has voted only 40,000 francs
for the purpose, the company has undertaken to do
its woik for that sum.

The Funeral Obsequies in Savannah.
The Savannah Republican of the 17th Instant
says:
Seldom hes a more imposing pageant in honor
of true worth, sterling manhood, and hih ap
preciation of all that dignifies and exalts hu
manity been seen in the city of Savannah.
The programme of the funeral ceremonials of
the late Commodore Josiah Tatnall, as arranged
by a committee ei tne city council or Savannah
aud a committee of the prominent citizens, was
laitniuny ana iuny carried out.
The procession moved from the residence of
the deceased at 3-30 o'clock, followed by the
committee and the Board of Aldermen, with the
relatives and immediate friends of the old Com
modore. The procession was about a mile in
length, and all along its route thousands of
fieople of both sexes and all conditions ot
ife gazed with sorrowful faces. Seldom
has such a sight been seen in Savannah.

The Newark Turnpike Free Bridge Move
ment successful.
For two years past a movement has been kept
alive in JNewark Having tor its object tbe
abolishment of tolls on tbe bridge crossing the
Passaic river between Newark aud Kearny
township.
At the last session oi tne Legislature a measure
was passed providing for ths appointment of a
set ot commissioners witn power to purchase
the said bridge in behalf of the two counties of
Hudson and Passaic. The price asked for the
bridge by the owners, the Camden and Amboy
monopoly that was, was $100,000. The com
missioners regarded this as an extravagant
price. They held several meetings, but it was
Lot till the holding of one on Saturday that
the purchase was effected. There were present
Beach Yandernool, Neheiniah Perry, Isaac Van
AVagenen, A. L. Dennis, Thomas E. Bray, Isaac
W. Scudder. William 11. iicciave. ana Martin A
Howell. Mr. John Van Vorst, of the commis
sioners, was absent. Mr. Van Wageueu -an
bounced tbat tbe price agreed to be paid was
only $70,000. This was agreed to, and all that
is now to be dono is to get a deed from the
monopoly owners. This accomplished, the
bridge will pass into possession of the two
counties and he made free forever. The coun
ties will equally share the cost, borne $10,000
has been expended repairing the bridge. The
income from it was about 415,000 per annum.
According to this the commissioners made
close bargain.
