AN EXECUTION IN ETNDIA-HoRRIBLE SCENES.
! An India correspondent Of the London Times
gives the followng'graphc and horrible account
of O public executionqof eighteen insurgents at
Ahmedahad, October, ,2G:-
Ten of them mounted to their places on the
drop; a firing party of twelve moved sup to
within twenty tysyards of theplace where stood,
facing soutwar1s, as the guns did, but behind
Ethem further back into the square. The men
who were to be:shot were placed in front, not
more than twelve PAGES from the muzzle of the
musketss They knelt down, their eyes band
aged and their hands tied: Meanwhile five had
| been marched to the FIVE fatal gums. They were
tbound by their arms to the wheels, but their
legs were free, and;tle end man. the only one
whom I could entirely see from my place on the
flank, leaned his back against the nilzze. i
fixed my eyes intently on that man, not lilty
yards away, and in a moment the signal was
given. There was roar, a bank OF white
smoke, and jet and shower of black fragments,
sharp and clear, which,leaped and bounded In
the air this and atearful soundtrom the spec
tators, as if the reality so far exceeded all pre-
vious fancy that it w;lsintolerable; then dead
stiffness. q.
I.Walked to the scattered and smoking floor
before the guns. came first to an. arm, torn
off above. the elbow the fist: clenched, tac
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 Ihad watched
Close by lay the lower half of the body Of the
next, torn quite in two, and long coils of en-
trails twined on the ground. Then along cloth
in which one had been dressed rolled open like
floor cloth, and Ell fire. One man lay in a
complctetand shattered heap. I'LL but the arms;
the. legs were ,stradded wide apart, and the
smashed body on, the middle of them; the spine
exposed the head lay close by, too The last
body was that of native officer, who was the
-arcli-fiend of the mutiny. He was short man,
with cruel face. Ills head had been cut clean
off; hisfacc was half upturned, and calm; the
eyes shut saw no expression of pain on any
Of them What had been his body lay on'its
face, the lessras usual, not shattered at all, the
flesh torn like cloth from Sharp angle in the
hollow of the back, off and off, till it merged
in one mangfed heap.
r. 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 pistolcd afterwards through the head. All,
think, however, had been badly hit, asall
were pfostrate when I ran forward to the guns.
And only now-tlierc was much more terri
.ble-did I look up-to the ten white figures
slowly swinging and revolving over @this scene
Of blood I,bopes they died quickly, ptsthe

NEW YEAR PAYMENTS.

NEW YEAR PAYMENTS.
The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year"
When notes are due, and lengthy bills
Come in from far and near;
When "here's small account of yours,
Is whispered in your ear,
And won't you please to settle now,
Is all the talk you hear.
You scarce can take morning walk,
Without ere long you're met,
BY Mr.. Snooks, who wants to know
If you can't "scttle yet;
And the hour of "dusky eve"
When you do homeward HE
Upon the parlor table, 10!
A pile of bills do lie.
Ye chaps, whose salary amounts
To ten times ten year,
Who sport your patent leather boots,
With Such foreign air"
And wear Your thirteen dollar tights,
And golden buitoned vest,
I wonder not when New Year comes,
You seek in vain for rest.
Yc girls with empty bonnets stuck,
Upon your empty heads,
With hiah-priced silk and satin things,
With hoops, and flowers and beads
wonder what papa will say,
When Mr.. Spriggings calls,
With Just that little bill of his,
For honncts, hoops and shawls.
And now my stylish little chaps,
And fashionable little mind,
I'll tell you what you hcter do,
When those long bills arc paid,
Just spend as many dollars now,
Upon your ad,lled brain,
AS YOU have spent for costly clothes,
And see how much You'll gain.
