abou• 1-1( th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.

LADY ROTHSCHILD'S SABBATH SCHOOL.—An
excursion party of 100 young women, belonging to
the Bible class of Lady Rothschild's Sabbath school, in
Devonshire-square, City, made a pleasure trip on Wednes-
day, to Hayes Common, near Bromley, in Kent, where they
were liberally regaled with an excellent dinner. After
roaming about this delightful spot, they were provided
with tea, cake, &c., and the youthful excursionists returned
to their school-room highly delighted with the entertain-
ment, heightened very considerably by the fineness of the
weather and the excellent arrangements made on their
behalf.

EXECUTION OF NEGRO SOLDIERS.—TweIve negro
soldiers were executed at Vicksburg on the 26th of
May for the murder of Mrs. Cook and her child. The men
had loft their camp one night without leave, and for the
purpose of robbery. They wont to Col. Cook's house and
shot him, but after a little time he managed to crawl out
to a barn. Meanwhile they demanded money of Mrs. Cook,
and on her refusal to give up her property shot her and her
child dead. They sacked and fired the place to wipe out all
traces of their crime. They had a fair trial, and were justly
convicted. Thousands flocked to see the execution. The
ground was kept by their own and other regiments. Being
asked what they had to say, they stated they had fought
for their country, and been taught to hate rebels, but as-
• sorted their innocence of the murder, and said "Jesus was
their friend." They then sang a hymn, and the chaplain
made a short prayer. The executioner went along, placing
the rope round, each man's neck, and adjusting the caps
over their heads. The word was given, and the twelve
men were between earth and heaven. A wild murmur of
the black women and children rang from hill to hill, but
the band struck up, and. the multitude gradually dispersed.

HYDROPHOBIA.—The efficacy of Dr. Buisson's
sudorific treatment of hydrophobia, as reported in
Galignani, is confirmed by the Revue des Provinces, which
quotes from a journal printed in 1830 :--" I
i r emamber,"
says the narrator, " a man who formerly lived n the same
place as I did, and who was unfortunate enough to bo
bitten by a mad dog. Some time after he fell ill, and
very soon appeared all the symptoms of hydrophobia,
which became so violent that his friends resolved to ter-
minate his sufferings by suffocating him. To accomplish
that dreadful design, four of them extended a feather-bed
on the floor, threw the unhappy man upon it, and covered
him with a second bed, on which they placed themselves to
press upon and smother him. During the time, his wife was
held in the adjoining room by some of her relations. Tha
state of this unhappy woman may be imagined during the
struggle and groans of the sufferer ; she remained at first
apparently stupified, but when a frightful silence had suc-
ceeded the tumult, she seemed to break loose from her
apathy; the full horror of the scene rushed upon her mind,
and, with a shriek of despair, she rushed into the chamber
of death. With superhuman force she threw aside the
men who were holding her husband down, and pulled
away the bed which covered him. Life had almost de-
parted, but respiration was soon re-established, and at last
he opened his eyes. The efforts he made had covered
him with so profuse a perspiration, that it ran in streams
from the whole of his body. He was calm, and, a short
time after, to the astonishment of all preseni, announced
that the symptoms of his cruel malady had quitted him.
This man lived long after, had a numerous family, and
never felt any recurrence of the attack."
