y "A New PUNISHMENT FOR SEPOYs.- In Notes and
Queries, Mr.. b. G.. Pote makes the following singular
suggestion for the punishmentof revoted Sepoys:
In its sternest decree and seyerest execution re-
yenge itself may be btterest gutted to this world
and the next, withoatf Infringing on the claims OF
humanity and civilization Let the swine that is the
source Of the crime, be also the instrument of the
punishment, land scorn and slaughter shall alike exult
IN the expiration, when superstition infuses its
scorpion venom into the. sting Of suicidal doom.
Fortunately for human nature, in every sense the
keenest agony can be inflicted without the physical
tortures from which eye and spirit shrink and the
ludicrous may relieve the terrible in just and
righteous retfibution.9 Beleaguer their cities with
5cordons Of boars let them march from the sally
ports over pigs'feet and cow-heels !; charge their
cavalry with herds Of the wild hog; let gun and
howitzer throw comminnted pork to clear out their
for her Influence is UNIVERSAL even on the untaught
gallantry of the conquering soder but let infants
be- carefully Graded in cowhides and tendery
nourished on the fattening pap of the SOW; anoint
the limbs Of sanity fakir and yognee with the unc
tious fat of swine scourge highcaste Brahmin and
Cshatrya and ferociously aspiring Mahomnedan with
thongs of Drawn; feed their hunger with chimes;
let the Mussulman observe Christmas for on the
devied legs of his favorite Turkey-we cannot spare
him the whole of the hind-quarter and should the
resoute Hindoo prefer starving to death in the nm
flavor of broiling bacon. Foe Nena Sahib, proclaim
that his ashes If burned, shall be gathered into
stye that his hardened carcass found living dead,
shall be carefully arded to soften it and that droves
of the famshng hog shall bear the consecrated relics
in their bosos they rove henceforth and forever
over the site of the leveled Bttoor; you will thus
have the fiereest and most effective revenge. =

Z CRIME AND HERoIsM.--The following story is re-
lated Of the Queen of Gustavus Adophus of Sweden.
The hereditary Prince was the son of Bernadote,
and is now King of Sweden: Md
The Queen did the honors with great seeming affa-
bilty, and played rubber of whist with the hered-
itary Prince and the Ambassador of England and
Russia. After cards, tea was served, with plateau
prepared for the Queen and Prince. The Queen ad
vanced and poured out tea into two cups, indicating
one to the Prince, who, just he in the act Of
taking it, suddenly felt the pressure of thumb on
his shoulder orcible and significant enough to con-
vince him that it was meant for a warning, the pur
port Of which quickly flashed npou his senses. With
considerable presence of mind, he Immediately ex.
claimed; ",
All, madam, it is impossible that can permit
your Majesty to mel" and seizing the plateau
turned it round adroty in such manner that the
cup which was intended for him was placed before
the Queen, and the other before himself The Queen
turned mortally pale and Charles John watched the
event with anxiety still uncertain whether his sspi-
cions well grounded. Was she about to confess
her crime No; she quickly RECEIVERS takes the cup
makes smiling salutation to the Prince and drinks
the contents to the last drop. On the following day
| the Gazette, Of Stockholm, contained the following
| short paragraph: rg
The Queen Dorothea died Suddenly during the
night and the of her death was generally i'm.
puted to apoplexy. This happened in 1913.

The POWER OF GUNPDwDER--We have been fav-
ored, says the Sindian Of August 49, with the follow
ing translation of d Persian letter, received from
Jondpore, anent the explosion Of the magazine at
that place: On the night Of the 18th August, be-
tween thehonrs Of twelve and two heavy rain fell,
accompanied with heavy peas of thunder and vivid
flashes of lightning impartng to everything around
q CHASTITY spectacle terrifying to behold. few min
utes after the scene was repeated with tenfold vo-
lence and the people were greatly intmidated.4 In
the fort belonging to the Rajah which is situated
hill constructed Of stones Of various dimensions and
sizes, and containing passage subterraneous, the
magazine Of the rajah had been kept. This was
struck with lightning and some thousands Of pounds
Of powder were exploded 74s 4H aIHJ
The shock was SO great that the walls Of the fort
and temple and four ponderous gates were blown
up in the air into thousand pieces, destroying 500
houses and all the people living therein. Up to the
time Of writing the remnants Of the Inhabitants were
engaged in removing the dead bodies found under
these ruins. Itwas cleaned from the Kotwal Of the
place that upwards of 1000 had already been taken
ont, and that others were also being removed. The
domestic servants of the Rajah as well as some Sc
poys who were kept to guard the place, were all
killed. Such dreadful occurrence was never known
in Joudpore before The majority of the people were
destroyed and otherwise injured. A stone weighing
one maund was picked up at Soorsanuggar Talao,
distant fonr miles from Joudpore where the political
agent resides Another large stone fell as far as six
miles, at place called Chowpassaney, where, falling
on house, it killed three people, The explosion was
SO severe that for six miles around the people and
houses sustained shock. ''g 4' 's''2i tF7' 'I.1

RATHER AN EXPRESSIVE IDEA.-Some days ago,
before the Republican nomination for Justice Of the
Supreme Court was made in this District, gentle.
man from neighboring county who was DESTROYS of
securing the nomination, was here to look after his
interests. In company with a distinguished climb
of the law from Elmira, he ordered q horse and
buggy from Of our livery stables to visit Horse
Heads on button-holeing mission to the delegate
from this county fast horse that could go out and
back, twelve miles in an hour The horse came as
ordered, but instead Of being 2:4o nag he proved
to be Of the slowest possible description testing the
patience Of his distinguished drivers to the utmost
extent But they got around finally, and as they
moped up to the livery stable the oster stood in the
door, between whom and our aspirant for judicial
honors, something like the following conversation en-
sued d"
+ Candidate--"I Is Mr.. j. fitting this horse for
the New York Market ~ sF' 'IS'
s Ostler--"' Not that am aware of. Why do you
ask the question:"
Candidate-'s Because | didn't know but he in
tended to sell him to go before hearse ! wish to
say that he won't answer the purpose. He never
would get the corpse around in time for the Resur
rection."- Elmira Advertiser.
