UriMaotd, in Chicago, Advance THE GUILLOTINE. The Art or Carrying Oat the Death Pen- - the Perfection of tbe Present System oH Execution Treatment of the PrUoaer Under Meotence of Death The Execu- tioner and His KmoIuiuentM. There is a common question, which it is to be hoped a few of us may hare to consider from a practical point of view, as to thepleasantest mode of being executed. Is hanging, or beheading, or poisoning the least disagreeable? How long a time should elapse between the sentence and the infliction of the penal- ty? Tho good old plan in France was to get as much amusement out of a prisr oner as possiblo by using slow methods for the infliction of death; and a case is recorded where a wretched criminal survived twenty-fou- r hours on tho wheol. They enjoyed the whole proceeding, and regarded it as a kind of dramatic enter- tainment, combining instruction with amusement. "If capital punishment is still a necessity," says a French writer, we would seek to withdraw it in every way from public attention. The present system would roach its ultimate perfec- tion if criminals were entirely with- drawn from public notice on the instant of their condemnation. After sentence had been pronounced, and the doors of the doors of tho court had closed upon them, the- - would never again be visible to human eyes, except to two or threo persons intrusted with tho duty of ushering them out of the world. The mystery which would rest all over the details of their fate would perhaps be more impressive than the most elabo- rate display, and even criminals might feel a greater horror at sinking, as it were, suddenly into darkness, than at once more appearing to play a conspic- uous part before tho eyes of their follow-creaturc- s. This pitch of perfection has not 3et been attained, and M. Du Camp gives a curious account in tho Hectic des Deux Momles of the present stage of the art of execution in France, and of tho treat- ment of the criminal during tho last days of his life. Directly after his condemnation he is stripped naked, ever fragment of his clothing being carefully removed for fear of his anticipating tho action of the law. lie is then dressed in the usual costume, with the exception of landkerchief and cravat, which might be convenient for suicidal purposes. Finally, he is put into a straight waist- coat, which makes him totally incapa- ble of using deadly instruments, even if he wished to, or of helping himself in any way. He is constantly iu the pres- ence of a guard and of a fellow-prison- er ready to act as a spy. Tho prisoner thus treated is generally reduced to a state of profound depression. Ho gen- erally refuses at first, even to give the necessary powers for the appeal ad- mitted by French law, and almost in- variably gives way afterward by tho ad-vi- co of counsel and tho direetof of the prison. Meanwhile ho is allowed to amuso himself according to his fancy, so far as that expression is applicable to a man in a condemned cell, confined with a straight waistcoat, and with no company but a spy and his jailers. The period of suspense generally breaks down the courage of the most brutal criminals. They listen to the exhorta- tions of a venerable priest whose duty it is to attend upon such cases. They of- ten try to read, and, according to M. Du Camp, the favorite author of these unhappy wretches is Fenimore Cooper. The reason suggested by him is that Cooper leads them into a world of ad- venture, far removed from European law, where killing is considered to be a creditable occupation. It is doubtful, however, whether the literary taste of murderers, as a rule, can be cultivated. Cooper is probably suggested by the priest or prison authorities as a thor- oughly amusing novelist who has not a single passage which could do any hu-m- in being any harm, even if he were in the immediate expectation of death. However, it is not surprising to hear that murderers generally fail to become absorbed in the adventures of Leather Stocking and his companions. The guardians, we are told, are kind enough to try to distract their attention, but the poor wretch whose day of execu- tion is not fixed is naturally a prey to various irritations, trembles when any- one enters his room, and is often haunt- ed by imaginary sounds like the knock- ing of a hammer. This, it is said, fre- quently amounts to physical suffering. The position must be unpleasant enough under all circumstances, but tho un- certainty as to the day of tho execution seems to add an unnecessary pang. If the court decidesjagainst tlie appeal, a memorial is sent to the President of tho Republic; and should he see no fit rea- son for commuting the penalty, orders aro at once sent to the various officials concerned to proceed instantly to exe- cution. M. Du Camp dwells elaborately upon tho details of the guillotine, whose in- ventor, he savs, did not (as has often been asserted) tlie by his own creation, but expired peaceably in 1814 at tho age of soventy-thre- e. It is by no means so simple a tlimg as it seems at first sight to cut off a human head with accuracy and dispatch. Tho efficiency of the ma- chine, for example, depends entirely on a modification supplied by a Dr. Louis, who made the edge of the knife oblique instead of horizontal, and who, like oth- er improvers, nearly got the whole credit of the invention, which for somo time was called a louisine. A good deal dependiS"Upon the skill and cool ness of the executioner more, itwoahrl appear, tnan hvWtc case of a hangrab. He has with one hand to hold down tho criminal, who sometimes struggles ajjd generally goto out of the proper afti- - 2 tnde; lie then baa to torn the proper screws, and afterward, by a single, pressure of the hand, to send the body down an inclined plane to the basket. Two assistants hold the sufferer by the head and keep down his legs; and, as M. Dti Camp remarks, unless they per- form their duty with a simtrttaHtte irre- - -- prochable, tho gravest inconveniences nugncresuit. it appears, however, that this hlas never been the caso of late years,; owing, perhaps, to the qualifica- tions of the chief performer. He is not only a man of colossal strength, and clad in black garments of elaborate neatness, but, liko his predecessor, has conferred many advantages on tho con- demned by ameliorations in his instru- ment. He is so sensitive that he is gen- erally ill for days after an execution, and M. Du Camp complains that, con- sidering his qualifications, ho is misera- bly paid. He receives oaly $800 ayear, besides an allowance of $1,800 for sup- plying! the necessary materials. He has the charge, it seems, of seven depart- ment; but. considering that there have been only forty executions m Paris in the last fifty yean, tho salary is not so very bad. The authorities enter the condemned man's room in tae early morning, tak- ing infinite precautions not to disturb his sleep by turning the key abruptly. They then rouse him to tefj hfm that the hour is come. From the time ot waking him to the moment of his ex- ecution takes about half an hour. This includes his interview with the priest, a rather prolonged ceremony of taking ofl and putting on his strakrht waistcoat. cutting his hair, and conducting him through various passages; and M. Du Camp suggests that by certain easy simplifications it might bo reduced to half the time, so that a man might be asleoo as the hour struck and bo with- out his head at a quarter. That part of the proceedings, however, which takes place within view of the public is expeditious enough. The trying mo- ment is that at which the guillotine, which is painted a dull red color, first becomes visible, and it is then that the criminal tries, often in vain, to braco himself with a view to dying game and leaving a creditablo namo among his companions. Characteristically, too, it is in these moments that they try to recall the word, carefully prepared nd, with which they aro to take leavo of this world. "Adieu, enfants dc la France," was the oxclamation of of ono Avinain, "n'avouer jamais; c'esl cerjue ' a perdu." Another man at this moment asked the name of an as- sistant who had been kind to him, in order that ho might preserve it in his memory. But the scaffold is close to the prison; and, according to an ac- curate observation in one instance, only fourteen seconds elapsed between the time at which the prisoner put his feet on the scaffold and that at which his head fell into tho baskoL Tho scene may be hideous enough, but it is com- - nicnuably short The logical neatness of the French organization seems rathor to fail in this instance. The oxecution is public, but the greatest care is taken that as few people as possible shall attend it. The time is not known, except to the few enthusiasts who watch till they seo tho scaffold erected on tho night before tho ovent. Great care is taken to treat the criminal kindly, especially in the rathor doubtful matter of getting tbo business ovor as soon as ho is out of bed; yet ho has all the misery of suspense, and. moreover, of snspense iu a straight-waistcoa- t. If tho execution were in private, as is now tho caso in Germany, England and tho great part of the United States, the prisoner might have the melancholy satisfaction of knowing beforehand how long ho was to live. The interests, however, of the prisoner are of comparatively littlo importance. Nobody can look forward to tho guillo- tine without considerable roluctance, and whether the days are a littlo more or loss unpleasant is not of very mate- rial consequence. But it is a more cu- rious question whether the growing dis- gust at the publicity of executions does not foreshadow the entire abolition of capital punishment. The French are so tender to the criminal that they only give him half an hour of certain antici- pation of death, and Du Camp tries to show that tho time might be reduced to half. The next step would be to cut off his head beforo ho is awake; and when the consummation is reached, perhaps, it may be thought improper to put an end to him at all. Brooklyn Eagle. A Festered Prcfessor. No other habitual Gothamite has had as much experience with the bunko-me- n as Prof. Dundon, of the Normal College. At least a dozen of them have tackled him at one time or another, un- der the impression that he was a coun- tryman just waiting to be ileeced. All who have taken him in hand, though, have found that he knows several things besides beans and turnips. The Pro- fessor is a rotund sort of man, with rud- dy face, good-nature- d expression and hearty aud comfortable appearance in general. He dresses rather carelessly, and this helps to deceive the swindlers, who take him for a farmer or country store-keepe- r with a good bank account. When they first took a fancy to tho Pro- fessor and began showing him attentions on tho street ho did not quite under- stand it, and it annoyed him a little, but now he does understand, and, as his humorous facultie are pretty well de- veloped, he rather enjoys a bunko inter- view, and is always ready for it. Tho swindlers never catch him off guard, and the smartest has not yet made a dime out of him. When addressed by one of them he is always attentive and apparently a little surprised. He is never at a loss for a name and a residence, and he has bten in a few a dozen different persons, hailing from as many different places, and engaged in a doz- en different kinds of business. A favor- ite ruse of his is to fool tho bunko men in this way: Tho first accosts him, for instance, as Mr. Johnston, of Johns- town. The Professor disavows Johns- ton and says he is Mr. Bliss, of Bliss-vill- e. Off goes scamp number ono to his pal and tells him the stranger is Bliss, of Blissville. Then along comes number two with: ''Ah, Mr. Bliss, very glad," etc., and tho Professor sets him back by saying ho is Mr. Johnston, of Johnstown. When-numb- er two rejoins number ono the pair come to the con- clusion that it won't pay to work the si ranger any further, though he occa- sionally loiters long enough to givo them another chance just for fun. Most of tho bunko men now know tho Pro- fessor by sight and lot him alone, but the new hands go for him now and then, and feel a little discouraged by tbe re- sult While he does not invite tbe at- tentions of any of the tribe, ho is, always ready to receive them, and give a Rol- and for an Oliver every time.

Girls have bceu in the habit of elop- ing on o casions as long as girls have been. It is a pra tico that can not be recommended in general. Commend-abl- o or not, howevea girls will do it The reasons for leang tho paternal roof between two days in company with a young man appear to be varied. Sometimes a cruel parent selects a husband without asking tho daughter's consent Oftoner somo would-b- e hus- band selects the daughter and the old man won't consent, thus necessitating an elopement for tho double purpose of getting married and escaping the paternal boot On occasions the elopo-imc- nt is necessary to avoid the revolver or shot-gu- n of another fellow who has taken a notion to the girL Ordinarily elopements do not take place if the courso of true love meets with no ob- stacle in tho home of either member of tho seeking-to-be-wedd- ed couple. Girls are freakish, however, ana sometimes run away to be married for no apparent cause whatever. It will be remembered that a daughter of the immortal Mr. Wardle was getting ready to run away with a famous Pickw'ckian without so much as sug- gesting to her adorable Snodgrau the propriety of asking her father whether he had any objections to the wedding taking place at home in the usual way. The sixteen year-ol- d daughter of a late of Long Island ( '"ty has made herself famous by an actual elopement of this kind. She was pretty and rich, and an- swered to the charming name of Fan- ny. Her brother had a frioud by the name of Walter, who was also rich, good-lookin- g, and twenty-liv- e. Walter visited the brother and foil in love with Fanny, which, under the circumstances, was natural enough. Nobodv had any obje tion to Walter or tho match, and if Walter had asked for Fanny ho would have been given to him. But Walter and Fanny concluded to be romantic, and run away to get mar- ried. Fanny spent tlie day kissing her mother, and wondering what in tho living world she would wear to get married in. She kissed her mothor good-nig- ht at ten o'clock, went to h r room, packed her satchel, met her lover, and posted to the city of New York, where they were married, after which a note was sout home, aud the mater- nal blessing, which they might have bad by word of mouth for the asking, was tolegraphod to them, and they went on their wedding tour rejoicing. The only explanation that can be given for this highly gratuitous elope- ment is that it runs in the family. Two older sisters of Miss Fanny have se- cured husbands by this method. Whether the mother of these eloping daughters set the example by eloping herself is not reported, but as tho eloj-in- g tendency appears to Ihj irresistible in the blood, it is not at all improbable. If Fanny's mothrr has any more un- married daughters, however, who an alarming inclination to kiss her on any particular day. she should employ detectives at once to shadow the over-affectiona- te girl, unless she wants the elopement to succeed. The eloping tendency is too strong in that family to be chocked by jinytliing short of the most rigorous measures. Iliiladclphia IHmcs. The Disease of Modern Writers. Egotism, that is the prevailing dis- ease of modern writers. Such is the conclusion of a thoughtful article on The in Contemporary Literature'' in a recent numb r of the iicintc Politique et Litleraire, which may well be taken to heart by writers on this side the channel. M. Guillemot denouncing tho growing tendency of authors and dramatists and artists to thrust them- selves and their private life before the public, traces the origin of the malady to America. Unless it is checked, he declares that it must of nocessity lower the standard of all modern literary pro- ductions. It is natural enough that an author, an artist or a poet should be ambitious to leavo an honored name to posterity; but that is an altogether dif- ferent thing from craving to be talked about and marveled at while in the land of tho living. Formerly the poet sang his song, the author told his tales, and the artist completed his work without ever a thought of putting himself to the front S hether he was married or single, 'whether tall or short, fair or dark, sanguine, or bilious what bad this to do with his work? No one knew, and no one cared to know. They gave their spirit, their mind to the world, and be- side this they were nothing to the pub- lic at large. They remembered Con- fucius' words: "Do not talk of yourself, either good or evil: because in the former case no one would believo you, and in the latter everybody would." Within the last two centuries all this has changed. At present all houses are built of glass, the in- habitants themselves being the archi- tects, throwing open to the gaze of the those chambers which have Eublic-eve- been held sacred in their pri- vacy. "And is not this fact" asks M. Guillemot "the characteristic of mod- ern society? A curious society, thanks to which the term private life is nothing but a vain phrase, and Paris an im- mense crystal palace." Fortunately for France these evils do not originate with- in its frontiers, but come, like tempests, across the Atlantic from "that powerful nation which in turn astonishes the world by its grandeur and its folly, its refined civilization and red-Indi- an bar- barities, its love for liberty and its con- tempt for inferior races; from the United States, which let a Lincoln die and a Barnum live.' Audacious, resolute Americans exercise the same influence on the French which every firm spirit does on the weak and undecided. "Wc arc as wax in their hands." It was in America that conferences and lectures originated, the Yankees having always had a great desire to approach the per- sons of great men. That, however, is due to a physical defect, which inca- pacitates the American from seo'ng the difference between a justly celebrated poet and a two-head- ed calf - a remark which Mr. Arnold will perhaps not be slow to appreciate. It is by no means the dee interest in the works of a great man which excites this curiosity among the people: in the same degree as art declines, the personalty of the artist in- creases in interest American journal- ism and reporting strengthen this ten- dency to pry into the private life of characters, and France haseager-- v taken up the evil habit Pall Mall Gazette. An English statistician maintains that the daily increase of wealth in the United States is upward of $25,-000.00- 0, or about 83.S,UOO,000 a year, which is one-thir- d as much as the en- tire increase in wealth, of tho whole of the rest of the world. Kngland, whose increase in wealth is next to our own, makes only a profit on all her business of $:J00,)00.00J a year. m but little over a third of our own- - A Trick on a Spider. A great many years ago a prisoner of state, who was allowed to cheer tho solitude of his dungeon by playing on his Ilute, discovered after a while that every time ho played a great number of spiders gathered" about him. Sinco then, the liking of spiders for music has been proved. I myself had often wished to play for a spsdor audience, but I was not woll enough acquainted with any musical instrument to coax a tunc out of it A scientific gentleman gave me a valuable hint by an experiment of his own. He used a tuning-fork- . Now I can play a tuning-for- k as well as auy-bod- y. I procured a tuuinjc-for- k, ami then sought out a spider. I found a a handsome, braud-uo- w weh, and though I did not see Mistress Epeira, I knew sho must bo at home. Epeira diadema is her full name, though m st persons call her a garden spider. It is she who makes those beautiful, wheel-lik- e webs which festoon tho rose-bush- es and trees. As I have said, Madame Spider was not visible. I knew, however, she must be in hergossamer parlor, which is at- tached to the web. Here was a good chance to try tuning-for- k music I rapped the fork on a stone, and in a moment a soft melodi- ous hum filled the air. I touched one of the spokes of the web with tho foric. On the instant. Madame Hew out of her parlor iu great haste, hesitated a mo- ment at the outer edge of the web. and then, instead of going straight to the tun ng-for- k, ran to tho very eonter of the web. Whcu there, she quickly caught hold of each of the spokes one after tho other, and gave it a little tug, as a 1 oy does his fishing-lin-n to seo if a iish is hooked. Fach was passed by until sho came to the spoke upon which the hum- ming fork rested. Thore she stopped, and it was easy to see she was excited. She gave the whole web a shake; then tugged at tho spoke again. llum-m-- m m" still sang tho fork, rather faintly now, however. Madame was satisfied. Her mind was made up. Down she darted and caught the end of the fork in her arms. She tried to nite into tho hard metal, and at the sam time she spun a web of silk around and around tho two prongs, which by this time had ceased vibrating. I pulled tho fork away and Madame Epeira retired in disappointment to tho center of the web. But if she was dis- appointed, so was I. for I w:is satisiled that it was not tho mu-i- e of the fork that had attracted her. Unfortunately, it was altogether too probable that site mistook the hum of the fork for the buzz of a fly, a sort of music no doubt very sweet to her. 'i'lino after time I repeated the ex- periment with the fork, touching in turn each spoke of the web, and each time Madame Spider was deluded into trying to capture the tuning-for- k. It was odd that she did not learn wisdom by repeated disappointment. John It. Coryell, in St. NtcJtol'is. Loved by the Cats. "Thoro is a curious sight," said a lady, pointing out of the parlor win- dow of her house in MorrL-an.- one day last week; "but it is a common enough one in this neighborhood." Tho rejwrtcr looked, and saw a fish peddler flirting w tli a servant irirl across the road. He was evidently a prosperous peddler, and the servant girl seemed to appreciate the fact But it was neither the peddler nor the girl who const ituted the curious sight al- luded to. The wagon, with the thought- ful horse between tlie shafts, stood in the middle of the road. A tarpaulin covered the fish, and at three points, about cqui-distan- t, three cats' tails wero visible above the cloth, and the vibra- tory motion of each indioated that tho object at tho other end was enjoying it-c- !f. "It is a most extraordinary thing,' said the Morrisania lady, "but each hsh peddler is followed by his own par- ticular cats. They seem to know tho sound of his horn, and trot out of their houses as soon as he blows it. Each wagon has usually about three cats fol- lowing it. 1 don't think any affection for the peddler influences their selec-tion,o- r, if it does, there is no reciprocity of the sentiment for, while the cat may love the peddler, tho peddler invariably hates the cat 1 am inclined to think that the attraction lies in the quality of the iish. I fancy that herring i tne fa- vorite fish of a cat Cats are also fond of shad, but they dislike the bone--- . That wagon has shad in it. Before three weeks have gone by the cats will look with contempt upon shad and fol- low the mackeralVagons. I see there is a fourth tail sticking up above the tarpaulin." There was, aul the peddler saw it too, He put a rapid end to his court- ship, and. softly stepping toward his wagon seized a tail and dragged out a cat with a shad in its mouth. The cat was made the recipient of a hard kick, aud its three fellows were similarly treated. N. Y. Sun. A. Dentist Takes a Mean Advantage. A practical joker of the sly order is Dr. Henderson, a Brooklyn dentist The Doctor does not look unlike a pious divine, and his mode of conducting him- self, couplod with a sanctimonious tim- bre of voice, completes the deception. It is said of the Doctor that during one of his exciting political campaigns he was hit in the eye by a prize-lighte- r. Ho was, of course, too much of a gen- tleman to engaire in a scrimmage when he knew the ohls were against him; so he quietly bided his time, .ome months later the prize-light- er had a bad tooth and dropped into tho Doctor's office to have it pulled. The latter instantly re- cognized his Assailant, but did not be- tray his emotions. By dint of eloquent persuasion he induced the prize-fight- er to take laughing-gas- , and when the ruffian bad become unconscious the Doctor's old-tim- e fire returned. Hurry- ing over to his old friend. Professor illiam Cla-- k, he borrowed a pair of boxing-glove- s and then returning to tho olliccwent to work at the prizo-fighlo- r. When the latter awoke he had two handsome black eyes, and his nose was bleeding with delightful freedom. "What is it? ' asked the prue-lighte- r, when he opened his eyes. "Keep perfectly quiet," urged tho Doctor, concealing his boxing-glove- s under the chair, "you've fractured your jugular." Then he put a cork in his patient's mouth, extracted the tooth and charg- ing him 2 for the job, advised him to go home and go to bed at cuce. The Doctor is always doing very fun- ny things, but whenever he sees that prize-fight- er he has to sit down for about an hour in some cool place and chuckle. N. Y.

A Pasadena (Cal.) man has invent- ed an apparatus for grafting vines which is said to bo a great improve- ment ovor the hand method, and by it two men can graft 1,200 vines in ten-hours- . Dr. Yinko writes iu the St Louis Courier of Miici)iz that more persons am killed by the enormous amount of whisky they tako when bitten by a snake than by the bite itsolf. He has himself used large doses of quinine in snake bite with success, and wants phy- sicians to test the remedy.

It is called granite sandstone, is very rich in Silica, of u close, lino grain, highly crystalized. unlaminated and of a fine brown color. On being brought to a white heat and suddonly plunged in cold water it comes out as solid and firm as at first Chicago Journal. There Is an invention spoken of which it is thought may abolish the bit It is called tho earrago, or anti-hors- o torture. It is composed of a steel band placed over tho front bone of the horse's jose, and t this appliance the ruins rv. attached. The inventor claims for this substitute for the bit that it gives complete control to the driver over tho horse without inflicting the least dis- comfort or torture on the animal itsolf. It has been tried with satisfactory re- sults. N. Y. Sun. Dr. 'Ihoraas Stovenson, iu Guy's Hospital reports, asserts "that water does, under certain conditions, act energetically upon zinc and upon gal- vanized iron." As zinc aud galvanized iron tanks are commonly used for stor- ing water, it is well to know Dr. bto onsen's test for the presence of zinc in that fluid. The clear water is slightly acidulated with hydrochloric acid, lerrocyanidu of potassium is then added; if zinc be present a whitish cloud will immediately form. At a rec-.'n- t fire in. Boston tho In- surance Brigade used a uew device for the first time. It is called a water tun- nel, and is used to carry water from floors to the street It is simply a largo tunnel of conical shape, similar to that used for pouring liquids into narrow-mouth- ed receptacles, aud has a short piece of hose attached, whieh is carried out of a window. The device is mouthed pu a tripod, and is placed directly un- der a hole cut through the floor above. The water on the floor is then forcod in the hole and carried through the hose into the street, instead of being driven down the stairway, as has before been tho caso. lioilon Isl. riTII AM) IfllYl'.

THE GUILLOTINE.

The Art or Carrying Oat the Death Pen- -

the Perfection of tbe Present System oHExecution Treatment of the PrUoaerUnder Meotence of Death The Execu-tioner and His KmoIuiuentM.

There is a common question, whichit is to be hoped a few of us may hareto consider from a practical point ofview, as to thepleasantest mode of beingexecuted. Is hanging, or beheading, orpoisoning the least disagreeable? Howlong a time should elapse between thesentence and the infliction of the penal-ty? Tho good old plan in France wasto get as much amusement out of a prisroner as possiblo by using slow methodsfor the infliction of death; and a caseis recorded where a wretched criminalsurvived twenty-fou- r hours on tho wheol.They enjoyed the whole proceeding, andregarded it as a kind of dramatic enter-tainment, combining instruction withamusement. "If capital punishment isstill a necessity," says a French writer,

we would seek to withdraw it in everyway from public attention. The presentsystem would roach its ultimate perfec-tion if criminals were entirely with-drawn from public notice on the instantof their condemnation. After sentencehad been pronounced, and the doors ofthe doors of tho court had closedupon them, the- - would never again bevisible to human eyes, except to two orthreo persons intrusted with tho dutyof ushering them out of the world. Themystery which would rest all over thedetails of their fate would perhaps bemore impressive than the most elabo-rate display, and even criminals mightfeel a greater horror at sinking, as itwere, suddenly into darkness, than atonce more appearing to play a conspic-uous part before tho eyes of their follow-creaturc- s.

This pitch of perfection has not 3etbeen attained, and M. Du Camp gives acurious account in tho Hectic des DeuxMomles of the present stage of the artof execution in France, and of tho treat-ment of the criminal during tho lastdays of his life.

Directly after his condemnation he isstripped naked, ever fragment of hisclothing being carefully removed forfear of his anticipating tho action of thelaw. lie is then dressed in the usual

be convenient for suicidal purposes.Finally, he is put into a straight waist-coat, which makes him totally incapa-ble of using deadly instruments, evenif he wished to, or of helping himself inany way. He is constantly iu the pres-ence of a guard and of a fellow-prison-

er

ready to act as a spy. Tho prisonerthus treated is generally reduced to astate of profound depression. Ho gen-erally refuses at first, even to give thenecessary powers for the appeal ad-mitted by French law, and almost in-

variably gives way afterward by tho ad-vi- co

of counsel and tho direetof of theprison. Meanwhile ho is allowed toamuso himself according to his fancy,so far as that expression is applicableto a man in a condemned cell, confinedwith a straight waistcoat, and with nocompany but a spy and his jailers. Theperiod of suspense generally breaksdown the courage of the most brutalcriminals. They listen to the exhorta-tions of a venerable priest whose duty itis to attend upon such cases. They of-ten try to read, and, according to M.Du Camp, the favorite author of theseunhappy wretches is Fenimore Cooper.The reason suggested by him is thatCooper leads them into a world of ad-venture, far removed from Europeanlaw, where killing is considered to be acreditable occupation. It is doubtful,however, whether the literary taste ofmurderers, as a rule, can be cultivated.Cooper is probably suggested by thepriest or prison authorities as a thor-oughly amusing novelist who has not asingle passage which could do any hu-m- in

being any harm, even if he werein the immediate expectation of death.However, it is not surprising to hearthat murderers generally fail to becomeabsorbed in the adventures of LeatherStocking and his companions. Theguardians, we are told, are kind enoughto try to distract their attention, butthe poor wretch whose day of execu-tion is not fixed is naturally a prey tovarious irritations, trembles when any-one enters his room, and is often haunt-ed by imaginary sounds like the knock-ing of a hammer. This, it is said, fre-quently amounts to physical suffering.The position must be unpleasant enoughunder all circumstances, but tho un-certainty as to the day of tho executionseems to add an unnecessary pang. Ifthe court decidesjagainst tlie appeal, amemorial is sent to the President of thoRepublic; and should he see no fit rea-son for commuting the penalty, ordersaro at once sent to the various officialsconcerned to proceed instantly to exe-cution.

M. Du Camp dwells elaborately upontho details of the guillotine, whose in-ventor, he savs, did not (as has oftenbeen asserted) tlie by his own creation,but expired peaceably in 1814 at tho ageof soventy-thre- e. It is by no means sosimple a tlimg as it seems at first sightto cut off a human head with accuracyand dispatch. Tho efficiency of the ma-chine, for example, depends entirely ona modification supplied by a Dr. Louis,who made the edge of the knife obliqueinstead of horizontal, and who, like oth-er improvers, nearly got the wholecredit of the invention, which for somotime was called a louisine.

He is notonly a man of colossal strength, andclad in black garments of elaborateneatness, but, liko his predecessor, hasconferred many advantages on tho con-demned by ameliorations in his instru-ment. He is so sensitive that he is gen-erally ill for days after an execution,and M. Du Camp complains that, con-sidering his qualifications, ho is misera-bly paid. He receives oaly $800 ayear,besides an allowance of $1,800 for sup-plying! the necessary materials. He hasthe charge, it seems, of seven depart-ment; but. considering that there havebeen only forty executions m Paris inthe last fifty yean, tho salary is not sovery bad.

The authorities enter the condemnedman's room in tae early morning, tak-ing infinite precautions not to disturbhis sleep by turning the key abruptly.They then rouse him to tefj hfm thatthe hour is come. From the time otwaking him to the moment of his ex-ecution takes about half an hour. Thisincludes his interview with the priest, arather prolonged ceremony of taking ofland putting on his strakrht waistcoat.cutting his hair, and conducting himthrough various passages; and M. DuCamp suggests that by certain easysimplifications it might bo reduced tohalf the time, so that a man might beasleoo as the hour struck and bo with-out his head at a quarter. That partof the proceedings, however, whichtakes place within view of the public isexpeditious enough. The trying mo-ment is that at which the guillotine,which is painted a dull red color, firstbecomes visible, and it is then that thecriminal tries, often in vain, to bracohimself with a view to dying game andleaving a creditablo namo among hiscompanions. Characteristically, too, itis in these moments that they try torecall the word, carefully prepared nd,

with which they aro to takeleavo of this world. "Adieu, enfantsdc la France," was the oxclamation ofof ono Avinain, "n'avouer jamais; c'eslcerjue ' a perdu." Another man atthis moment asked the name of an as-sistant who had been kind to him, inorder that ho might preserve it in hismemory. But the scaffold is close tothe prison; and, according to an ac-curate observation in one instance, onlyfourteen seconds elapsed between thetime at which the prisoner put his feeton the scaffold and that at which hishead fell into tho baskoL Tho scenemay be hideous enough, but it is com- -nicnuably short

The logical neatness of the Frenchorganization seems rathor to fail in thisinstance. The oxecution is public, butthe greatest care is taken that as fewpeople as possible shall attend it. Thetime is not known, except to the fewenthusiasts who watch till they seo thoscaffold erected on tho night before thoovent. Great care is taken to treat thecriminal kindly, especially in the rathordoubtful matter of getting tbo businessovor as soon as ho is out of bed; yet hohas all the misery of suspense, and.moreover, of snspense iu a straight-waistcoa- t.

If tho execution were inprivate, as is now tho caso in Germany,England and tho great part of theUnited States, the prisoner might havethe melancholy satisfaction of knowingbeforehand how long ho was to live.The interests, however, of the prisonerare of comparatively littlo importance.Nobody can look forward to tho guillo-tine without considerable roluctance,and whether the days are a littlo moreor loss unpleasant is not of very mate-rial consequence. But it is a more cu-rious question whether the growing dis-gust at the publicity of executions doesnot foreshadow the entire abolition ofcapital punishment. The French areso tender to the criminal that they onlygive him half an hour of certain antici-pation of death, and Du Camp tries toshow that tho time might be reducedto half. The next step would be to cutoff his head beforo ho is awake; andwhen the consummation is reached,perhaps, it may be thought improperto put an end to him at all. BrooklynEagle.

A Festered Prcfessor.

No other habitual Gothamite has hadas much experience with the bunko-me- n

as Prof. Dundon, of the NormalCollege. At least a dozen of them havetackled him at one time or another, un-der the impression that he was a coun-tryman just waiting to be ileeced. Allwho have taken him in hand, though,have found that he knows several thingsbesides beans and turnips. The Pro-fessor is a rotund sort of man, with rud-dy face, good-nature- d expression andhearty aud comfortable appearance ingeneral. He dresses rather carelessly,and this helps to deceive the swindlers,who take him for a farmer or countrystore-keepe- r with a good bank account.When they first took a fancy to tho Pro-fessor and began showing him attentionson tho street ho did not quite under-stand it, and it annoyed him a little, butnow he does understand, and, as hishumorous facultie are pretty well de-veloped, he rather enjoys a bunko inter-view, and is always ready for it. Thoswindlers never catch him off guard,and the smartest has not yet made adime out of him. When addressed byone of them he is always attentive andapparently a little surprised. He is neverat a loss for a name and a residence,and he has bten in a few a dozendifferent persons, hailing from as manydifferent places, and engaged in a doz-en different kinds of business. A favor-ite ruse of his is to fool tho bunko menin this way: Tho first accosts him, forinstance, as Mr. Johnston, of Johns-town. The Professor disavows Johns-ton and says he is Mr. Bliss, of Bliss-vill- e.

Off goes scamp number ono tohis pal and tells him the stranger isBliss, of Blissville. Then along comesnumber two with: ''Ah, Mr. Bliss, veryglad," etc., and tho Professor sets himback by saying ho is Mr. Johnston, ofJohnstown. When-numb-er two rejoinsnumber ono the pair come to the con-clusion that it won't pay to work thesi ranger any further, though he occa-sionally loiters long enough to givothem another chance just for fun. Mostof tho bunko men now know tho Pro-fessor by sight and lot him alone, butthe new hands go for him now and then,and feel a little discouraged by tbe re-sult While he does not invite tbe at-tentions of any of the tribe, ho is, alwaysready to receive them, and give a Rol-and for an Oliver every time.

The Girl That Elopes.

Girls have bceu in the habit of elop-ing on o casions as long as girls havebeen. It is a pra tico that can not berecommended in general. Commend-abl- o

or not, howevea girls will do itThe reasons for leang tho paternalroof between two days in companywith a young man appear to be varied.Sometimes a cruel parent selects ahusband without asking tho daughter'sconsent Oftoner somo would-b- e hus-band selects the daughter and the oldman won't consent, thus necessitatingan elopement for tho double purposeof getting married and escaping thepaternal boot On occasions the elopo-imc- nt

is necessary to avoid the revolveror shot-gu- n of another fellow who hastaken a notion to the girL Ordinarilyelopements do not take place if thecourso of true love meets with no ob-

stacle in tho home of either member oftho seeking-to-be-wedd- ed couple.

Girls are freakish, however, anasometimes run away to be married forno apparent cause whatever. It willbe remembered that a daughter of theimmortal Mr. Wardle was gettingready to run away with a famousPickw'ckian without so much as sug-gesting to her adorable Snodgrauthe propriety of asking her fatherwhether he had any objections to thewedding taking place at home in theusual way. The sixteen year-ol- d

daughter of a late of LongIsland ( '"ty has made herself famous byan actual elopement of this kind.

She was pretty and rich, and an-

swered to the charming name of Fan-ny. Her brother had a frioud by thename of Walter, who was also rich,good-lookin- g, and twenty-liv- e. Waltervisited the brother and foil in love withFanny, which, under the circumstances,was natural enough. Nobodv had anyobje tion to Walter or tho match, andif Walter had asked for Fanny howould have been given to him.

But Walter and Fanny concluded tobe romantic, and run away to get mar-ried. Fanny spent tlie day kissing hermother, and wondering what in tholiving world she would wear to getmarried in. She kissed her mothorgood-nig- ht at ten o'clock, went to h rroom, packed her satchel, met her lover,and posted to the city of New York,where they were married, after whicha note was sout home, aud the mater-nal blessing, which they might havebad by word of mouth for the asking,was tolegraphod to them, and theywent on their wedding tour rejoicing.

The only explanation that can begiven for this highly gratuitous elope-ment is that it runs in the family. Twoolder sisters of Miss Fanny have se-

cured husbands by this method.Whether the mother of these elopingdaughters set the example by elopingherself is not reported, but as tho eloj-in- g

tendency appears to Ihj irresistiblein the blood, it is not at all improbable.If Fanny's mothrr has any more un-

married daughters, however, whoan alarming inclination to kiss

her on any particular day. she shouldemploy detectives at once to shadow theover-affectiona- te girl, unless she wantsthe elopement to succeed. The elopingtendency is too strong in that family tobe chocked by jinytliing short of themost rigorous measures. IliiladclphiaIHmcs.

The Disease of Modern Writers.

Egotism, that is the prevailing dis-

ease of modern writers. Such is theconclusion of a thoughtful article on

The in Contemporary Literature'' ina recent numb r of the iicintc Politiqueet Litleraire, which may well be takento heart by writers on this side thechannel. M. Guillemot denouncingtho growing tendency of authors anddramatists and artists to thrust them-selves and their private life before thepublic, traces the origin of the maladyto America. Unless it is checked, hedeclares that it must of nocessity lowerthe standard of all modern literary pro-ductions. It is natural enough that anauthor, an artist or a poet should beambitious to leavo an honored name toposterity; but that is an altogether dif-

ferent thing from craving to be talkedabout and marveled at while in the landof tho living. Formerly the poet sanghis song, the author told his tales, andthe artist completed his work withoutever a thought of putting himself tothe front S hether he was married orsingle, 'whether tall or short, fair ordark, sanguine, or bilious what bad thisto do with his work? No one knew, andno one cared to know. They gave theirspirit, their mind to the world, and be-side this they were nothing to the pub-lic at large. They remembered Con-fucius' words: "Do not talk of yourself,either good or evil: because in theformer case no one would believo you,and in the latter everybody would."Within the last two centuries allthis has changed. At present allhouses are built of glass, the in-

habitants themselves being the archi-tects, throwing open to the gaze of the

those chambers which haveEublic-eve-been held sacred in their pri-

vacy. "And is not this fact" asks M.Guillemot "the characteristic of mod-ern society? A curious society, thanksto which the term private life is nothingbut a vain phrase, and Paris an im-mense crystal palace." Fortunately forFrance these evils do not originate with-in its frontiers, but come, like tempests,across the Atlantic from "that powerfulnation which in turn astonishes theworld by its grandeur and its folly, itsrefined civilization and red-Indi- an bar-barities, its love for liberty and its con-tempt for inferior races; from the UnitedStates, which let a Lincoln die and aBarnum live.' Audacious, resoluteAmericans exercise the same influenceon the French which every firm spiritdoes on the weak and undecided. "Wcarc as wax in their hands." It was inAmerica that conferences and lecturesoriginated, the Yankees having alwayshad a great desire to approach the per-sons of great men. That, however, isdue to a physical defect, which inca-pacitates the American from seo'ng thedifference between a justly celebratedpoet and a two-head- ed calf - a remarkwhich Mr. Arnold will perhaps not beslow to appreciate. It is by no meansthe dee interest in the works of a greatman which excites this curiosity amongthe people: in the same degree as artdeclines, the personalty of the artist in-

creases in interest American journal-ism and reporting strengthen this ten-

dency to pry into the private life ofcharacters, and France haseager-- v

taken up the evil habit Pall MallGazette.

A Trick on a Spider.

A great many years ago a prisonerof state, who was allowed to cheer thosolitude of his dungeon by playing onhis Ilute, discovered after a while thatevery time ho played a great number ofspiders gathered" about him. Sincothen, the liking of spiders for musichas been proved. I myself had oftenwished to play for a spsdor audience,but I was not woll enough acquaintedwith any musical instrument to coax atunc out of it

A scientific gentleman gave me avaluable hint by an experiment of hisown. He used a tuning-fork- . Now Ican play a tuning-for-k as well as auy-bod- y.

I procured a tuuinjc-for- k, amithen sought out a spider. I found aa handsome, braud-uo- w weh, andthough I did not see Mistress Epeira, Iknew sho must bo at home. Epeiradiadema is her full name, though m stpersons call her a garden spider. It isshe who makes those beautiful, wheel-lik- e

webs which festoon tho rose-bush- es

and trees.As I have said, Madame Spider was

not visible. I knew, however, she mustbe in hergossamer parlor, which is at-tached to the web.

Here was a good chance to try tuning-for- k

music I rapped the fork on astone, and in a moment a soft melodi-ous hum filled the air. I touched oneof the spokes of the web with tho foric.On the instant. Madame Hew out of herparlor iu great haste, hesitated a mo-ment at the outer edge of the web. andthen, instead of going straight to thetun ng-for- k, ran to tho very eonter ofthe web.

Whcu there, she quickly caught holdof each of the spokes one after thoother, and gave it a little tug, as a 1 oydoes his fishing-lin-n to seo if a iish ishooked. Fach was passed by until shocame to the spoke upon which the hum-ming fork rested. Thore she stopped,and it was easy to see she was excited.She gave the whole web a shake; thentugged at tho spoke again. llum-m-- m

m" still sang tho fork, rather faintlynow, however.

Madame was satisfied. Her mindwas made up. Down she darted andcaught the end of the fork in her arms.She tried to nite into tho hard metal,and at the sam time she spun a webof silk around and around tho twoprongs, which by this time had ceasedvibrating.

I pulled tho fork away and MadameEpeira retired in disappointment to thocenter of the web. But if she was dis-appointed, so was I. for I w:is satisiledthat it was not tho mu-i- e of the forkthat had attracted her. Unfortunately,it was altogether too probable that sitemistook the hum of the fork for thebuzz of a fly, a sort of music no doubtvery sweet to her.

'i'lino after time I repeated the ex-

periment with the fork, touching inturn each spoke of the web, and eachtime Madame Spider was deluded intotrying to capture the tuning-for-k. Itwas odd that she did not learn wisdomby repeated disappointment. John It.Coryell, in St. NtcJtol'is.

Loved by the Cats.

"Thoro is a curious sight," said alady, pointing out of the parlor win-dow of her house in MorrL-an.- one daylast week; "but it is a common enoughone in this neighborhood."

Tho rejwrtcr looked, and saw a fishpeddler flirting w tli a servant irirlacross the road. He was evidently aprosperous peddler, and the servantgirl seemed to appreciate the fact Butit was neither the peddler nor the girlwho const ituted the curious sight al-

luded to. The wagon, with the thought-ful horse between tlie shafts, stood inthe middle of the road. A tarpaulincovered the fish, and at three points,about cqui-distan- t, three cats' tails werovisible above the cloth, and the vibra-tory motion of each indioated that thoobject at tho other end was enjoyingit-c- !f.

"It is a most extraordinary thing,'said the Morrisania lady, "but eachhsh peddler is followed by his own par-ticular cats. They seem to know thosound of his horn, and trot out of theirhouses as soon as he blows it. Eachwagon has usually about three cats fol-

lowing it. 1 don't think any affectionfor the peddler influences their selec-tion,o- r,

if it does, there is no reciprocityof the sentiment for, while the cat maylove the peddler, tho peddler invariablyhates the cat 1 am inclined to thinkthat the attraction lies in the quality ofthe iish. I fancy that herring i tne fa-

vorite fish of a cat Cats are also fondof shad, but they dislike the bone--- .That wagon has shad in it. Beforethree weeks have gone by the cats willlook with contempt upon shad and fol-

low the mackeralVagons. I see thereis a fourth tail sticking up above thetarpaulin."

There was, aul the peddler saw ittoo, He put a rapid end to his court-ship, and. softly stepping toward hiswagon seized a tail and dragged out acat with a shad in its mouth. The catwas made the recipient of a hard kick,aud its three fellows were similarlytreated. N. Y. Sun.

A. Dentist Takes a Mean Advantage.

A practical joker of the sly order isDr. Henderson, a Brooklyn dentistThe Doctor does not look unlike a piousdivine, and his mode of conducting him-self, couplod with a sanctimonious tim-bre of voice, completes the deception.

It is said of the Doctor that duringone of his exciting political campaignshe was hit in the eye by a prize-lighte- r.

Ho was, of course, too much of a gen-tleman to engaire in a scrimmage whenhe knew the ohls were against him; sohe quietly bided his time, .ome monthslater the prize-light- er had a bad toothand dropped into tho Doctor's office tohave it pulled. The latter instantly re-

cognized his Assailant, but did not be-

tray his emotions. By dint of eloquentpersuasion he induced the prize-fight- er

to take laughing-gas- , and when theruffian bad become unconscious theDoctor's old-tim- e fire returned. Hurry-ing over to his old friend. Professor

illiam Cla-- k, he borrowed a pair ofboxing-glove- s and then returning to thoolliccwent to work at the prizo-fighlo- r.

When the latter awoke he had twohandsome black eyes, and his nose wasbleeding with delightful freedom.

"What is it? ' asked the prue-lighte- r,

when he opened his eyes."Keep perfectly quiet," urged tho

Doctor, concealing his boxing-glove- s

under the chair, "you've fractured yourjugular."

Then he put a cork in his patient'smouth, extracted the tooth and charg-ing him 2 for the job, advised him togo home and go to bed at cuce.

The Doctor is always doing very fun-ny things, but whenever he sees thatprize-fight- er he has to sit down forabout an hour in some cool place andchuckle. N. Y. Journal.
