From the 81. Loui. Republican.

A MODERN JACK KErcH.-We yesterday
heard Of an incident connected with the recent
execution Of 0rban, at Bellville, Illinois, which,
despite the melancholy circumstance, was really
Imaginable. The duty of carrying out the highest
and most solemn sentence of the law in the
criminal code, is one exceedingly embarrassing
and painful TO our officers charged with this
melancholy trust and ii not unfrequently hap
pens that they look around for some Jack
Ketch 10 assist, or at all events to perform the
most unpleasant duties incident 10 the scaffold.
The sheriff Of st. Clair county, with that
sense Of honor and delicacy which is creditabe
70 his heart, a short time before the day set for
the execution of 0rban, made some inquiries
for an assistant to perform the principal duties
on the occasion. He was directed to a man
who lived in the neighborhood, and who had
had some experience in the business, having
been chief executioner in Wirtemberg, Ger
many. An interview was had, and all the pre-
liminaries we're arranged AS the sheriff was
about leaving, the deputy called TO him, and
asked, al say, Mr.. Sheriff, do you want him to
die fast or slow?' The question, of course,
was answered, Immediately"
Ii may not be amiss TO state that in Europe,
prior TO the French revolution, persons convict
ed Of political or criminal offences, we're exc
cuted according TO the grade Of the offence, and
the torture Of dying was measured by that
standard. Our deputy, who had but recently
arrived in this country, and who, by virtue Of
his former office, might be considered du fat
in this line of business, was probably excusable
for making this inquiry. At all events the bar
gain was struck. Now il never occurred to the
mind Of the deputy Of the manner Of executions
prescribed by law in this country, and visions
of the axe and scimeter very naturally rose in
his imagination as he thought Of the work he
was engaged TO perform.
few DAYS previous 10 the fatal day. be met
the sheriff, and in a casual conversation, the
latter informed him that he had made every
preparation, from the scaffold even 10 the rope.
at the same time enjoning upon him TO be on
hand. The sheriff had turned to 20 away
when the former cautiously approached him
and said:
Mr.. Sheriff, you are going to hang him
thenY
certainly" replied the sheriff, "you must
have understood tbat--why do you hesitate 2"
"Oh, nothing-but | only thought tbat--if
il was all the same 10 you-I ,coud rather
cut his he'd off,"
The instincts Of bis former trade made him
REGARD Il as a mere matter Of business and he
was for executing IL according to the old form.

MADAME PFEIFER.-1he question naturally
suggested is, who Is Madame Pfeifer and what
is she going round the world for?
She is German lady, about fifty-seven years
old, said to be intelligent, wealthy and accom-
plished, and to all appearance perfectly sane on
every subject except it be that of travelling,
which she does entirely alone, and ON the
largest scale.
Her husband and two sons, one govern
ment official and the other an artist, live in
Germany. In 1916 she set out on journey
round the world. She went first to Brazil, at
tracted by its magnificent forests and flowers.
Here she came very near being murdered by q
black rutfan, who undertook 10 rob her. She
still shows the scars she received, but states
with evident satisfaction that she cut off three
OF his fingers in self-defence, when fortunately
help came to her relief. She then embarked
at Rio, doubled the Horn, visited Valparaiso,
took passage in another vessel to Tahiti, and
among other mememtoes of her sojourn there,
brought away Queen Pomare's autograph.
From Tahiti she went to China, then to Cal
eutta, then overland across British India to
Bombay, from there by steam to Bussorah and
Bagdad, then with a caravan to Mosul and the
ruins of Ninevah, whence she brought several
pieces of sculpture, and thence to Oroomiah,
OF course with varied adventures. At numer.
GUS places she was Hospitality received and en-
tertained by the protestant missionaries. She
is herself Catholic.
From Oroomiah she proceeded to Tabreez,
then to Tifiis, and across the Caucasus, through
European Russia to Vienna, and reached home
alter tour OF little more than two years.
As her stock Of languages is limited, she is
Obliged much of the time to depend on signs.
One OF her cardinal rules is never to betray
fear, IN whatever danger she may be, and an
other is to dress and live cheaply and economi-
callyi two precautions that have doubtless con-
duced largely to her safety.
Madame Pfeiffer, in her land journeys, took
but single horse; her small trunk being hung
on one side of him, her bed on the other, and
she riding between. Her voyage around the
world cost her somewhat less than $4,000.
In 1851 she set out again, and spent two
years in Australia and the East Indies She
then visited California and Oregon, thence
through Ecuador she went to Panama and took
steamer for New Orleans, then up the Missis-
sippi to st. Paul, and down the lakes to Mon
treal, from whence she came to New York
She is now on her way through the Atlantic
States, after which she will again turn home
wards, thus completing her second journey
around the earth.
A description Of her strange and multilarious
adventures could not but be entertaining She
takes copious notes and observations, and will
probably, if she lives, embody them in an elab
crate work. subordinate object of her tray
els is to gather flowers and insects, of which
she has now an9immense collection She is al
ready known as the authoress Of work on Ice
land and Palestine, the fruit of her early jour
neyings. albany Journal.
