SUICIDE BY DKUWNIN'G.
A Woman Drowui Her Child and then
Herktlf Iugauity the Cau Full Par
ticular. One of the strangest and saddest circumstances
Vvhich it has been our duty to chronicle for a
long time occurred on Thuradav twnntno in tha
1 suicide by drowning of a young married woman
Dy tne name ot Uorette bchacht. cue had been
living very happily with her husband for the
past year, previous to which she had made seve
ral attempts to take her life. Before marrying
Air. Bchacht she had been the wife of a promi
nent Cleveland man Dr. Quittenbaam. For
c.v.rAl v.tra iiaat. tha h-ft I 1 1
I evidence of nnsounduess of mind, which at one
II time became to marked that she was for a while
I placed under medical treatment la an insane
asylum. About dunk Thursday evening aha u
I seen by persons walking on tit. Clair street, aud
I to turn off from that 6treet down Bratenahl
avenue. Khe wag pushing before her a baby
carriage, In which was a beautiful child of eight
months, which was crying at the time as though
it had instinctive foreknowledge of its impend
ing fate.
The lady passed down the avenue, across thn
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern iUitrcud.
I track, and turned into the premises of Mr. YY. J.
I k Gordon. Bue kept on aud crossed a bridge over
I Doane'a creek and left the carriage on the other
aide, about two huudred feet lrotn the lake,
taking the child and other contents of the car
riage in her arms. Bearing these, she walked
down to the beach, intent ou accomplishing her
dread purpose. The next that was see a of her
after ebe left the carriage wai by some boys ou
the bore, who discovered her floating oa her
back In the water, aod just as they saw her she
lifted up her bands and sunk beueath the surface.
The boys set up a cry at once and weut for
assistance. It being too late to gave her, the
search lor ber body was postponed till moruiug.
Nothing whatever was to be teeu of the child,
and the probably drowned the poor little fellow
before the boys saw ber.
The next morning the body wag taken out of
the water and the coroner sent for. The inquest
was finished by S o'clock in the afternoon, and
the verdict returned that she committed suicide
by drowning while in a state of insanity. The
most heartrending circumstance lathe easels
the unfortunate end of the innocent, helpless
boy. The little fellow was taken oat of the
water at about 8 o'clock In the afternoon, near
the place where big mother waa found. The
husband and father, deprived so anddenly and
so terribly of 'a loved wife and child, bag been
almost deprived of reason by the fearful shock.
Cleveland leader, Saturday.
THE SUEZ CANAL.
"Ce que coute a l Egypte le Canal de Suez, '
is the title of a pamphlet just published at
Alexandria by Edouard Dervieu, a banker of
that city, who was for many years agent to
the Messageries Imperiales Company in Egypt.
But before enteiing into finanoial details he
passes a high enloginm on the disinterested
ness of the two Viceroys under whom the
enterprise was conceived .and completed,
pointing out that in an economical and com
mercial point of view the maritime canal,
however beneficial to other nations, was de
cidedly disadvantageous to Egypt, depriving
its railroads of much of their traffio, and the
country generally of the profit derivable from
the lapd transit of passengers. But "in a
political point of view," remarks M. Dervieu
and the statement is significant as ooming
from a Frenchman "the case was dif
ferent; because the creation of a Bosphorus
between the two seas, thereby facilitating
direct communication between the two
worlds, would necessarily increase the im
portance of the geographical position of
Egypt, and secure its neutrality," or, in
plainer words, its independence. The con
ventions between the Egyptian Government
and the company have been several times
revised and altered. With regard to many of
the so-called concessions made by the corn
puny in return for the substantial aid periodi,
cally afforded them by the Viceroy, M. Der
vieu remarks: "It is true that the company
abandoned a portion of the rights and privi
leges which had been acoorded to them, but
Egypt paid enormously for what it had origi
nally given gratis." The following is an ab
stract of the entire expenditure of the Egyp
tian Government, including interest:

Harbors at Suez :'oo9
Me hthonnes In the Meilfterranonn m'iuui
Repurchase of concessions 1,612,025
14,112,2S4
"And if to this total," writes M. Dervien,
"be added the expenses of Nubar Pasha's
mission to Paris, the cost of ;the splendid en
tertainments given by his Highness the Khe
dive on the opening of the canal, and that of
several missions to Constantinople in order
to obtain the Sultan's ratification of the con
cession, we may rest assured that the cost to
Egypt of the Suez Canal amounts to 400,
000,000 francs," or 1,000,000; that is, more
than one-half of the Egyptian debt, which M.
Dervieu reckons amounted to 28,737,283
on the 1st of January, 1871. M. Dervieu,
however, has entirely omitted the Viceroy's
Dairab, which form as great a drag on the
resources of the country as the Government
obligations, strictly so called. The amount,
as quoted on the London Stock Exohange,
will be as below:
