AN EXECUTION IN ETNDIA-HoRRIBLE SCENES
An India correspondent Of the London Times
gives the following, phic and horrible account
of public execution OF eighteen insurgents at
Ahmedahad, October 2G:
Ten of them mounted to their places on the
drop; u firing party Of twelve moved up to
within twenty yards of the place where stood
facing outwards, as the guns did, but behind
them, further back into the square. The men
who were to be shot were placed III front, not
more than twelve PAGES from the .muzzle of the
muSkets. They knelt down, their eyes band
aged and their hands tied. Meanwhile five had
been marched to the five fta. gums. They were
bound by their arms to the wheels, but their
legs were free antl.tle end man, the only one
whom could entirely see from my place on the
flank, leaned his back against the mnzzle.
fixed my eyes intently on that man, not llty
Yards away, and in a moment the signal was
given. There was a roar bank of white
smoke, and jet and shower of black fragments
sharp and clear, which lcaped and bounded in
the air; this, and atcarfu soundfion the spec
tators. as if the reality SO far exceeded all pre-
vious fancy that it WAS intolerable; then dead
stiffness
walked to the scattered and smoking floor
before the guns I came first to an arm, torn
off above the elbow, the fist clenched, the
bones protruding several inches, bare. Then
the ground sown with red, grisly fragments,
then black haired head andsthe> other arm still
held together This was the man had watched.
Close by lay the lowe wer half Of the body of the
next, torn quite in two, and long coils Of en-
trails twined on the ground. Then long cloth
in which one had been dressed rolled open like
a floor cloth. and an fire. One man lay in a
complcteand shattered heap all but the arms;
the. legs were straddlcd wide apart, and the
smashed body on the middle of them; the spine
exposed; the ical lay close by, too. The last
body was that of q native officer, who was the
arcl-fiead of the muriny. lie was short man,
with Il cruel face. Ills head had been cut clean
of; his face was half uptur:cd, and calm; the
ewes shut. saw M expression Of pain on any
Of them. What al been his body lay on its
face, tue les, as usal, not shattered at all, the
flesh torn like cloth from q sharp angle in the
hollow of the back, off and off, till it merged
in one mangled heap.
turned to the three who had been shot
One had been struck in the heart, and only
bowed slowly over on his face. The others had
been pistoed afterwards through the head. AL
[ think, however, had been badly hit as all
were PROSTATE when ran forward to the guns
And only now-tllere was so much more terri,
ble-did look up to the ten white figure:

of blood hope. they died quickly, butsthe
were very short. a-as> h3Is

"Of Unemployment, there is none that so tax,
es the mind, temper and flesh, Us that of editing
a paper; none that requires nicer tact, a
sounder judgment, more constant application

temper could never succeed as an editor, nor :
hasty one, nor an untorgivinS one. An editor
must turn himself inside out TO the public. He
cannot be u hypocrite any more than a husband
could be hypocritc to the wife. He must ex
pose himself in all that he does, as much in Sc;
ccting the thoughts of others as iii publishing
his own and the better way for him in the out
