once OF twice before he awoke when he
opened mis- eyes and SAT up on his pallet he
stared tesrtuuy at them, and for Il moment
appeared bewildsred. He thought they came
to annouce that bis LASS moment had arrived.
! and he recoiled fsom their touch. Don't
be afraid they said, dot be afraid. we
are not going to iujure you far from il. We

morning, notwithstanding the weather was
severely cold and the ground wet from the
snow which had fal en-. Many of the spec
tatOrs had brought their breakfasts with
them; they had their loaves under their arms

report continues:
Precisely at six clock, Orsini and Pierri
were awolIe from their sleep by the governor
OF the prison, who announced that their last
hour was come. The Able Hugon. chaplain

ceived the communion with respect, il not de-
votion. Soon after they were taken to the
room called de la toilette, for the change of
dress. 1t Is not large. When the couvicts
entered the cbambre de Ia toilette, they were
placed at different extremites Of it, with their
backs turned to each other. There were two
