SHOCKING SCENE AT AN ExzoUTIoN.-
Michael McNamee was hung at Chicago, on
Friday last, for causing the death of his wife
in a fit of intoxication. The following painful
and horrible scene took place at the gallows :
The Sheriff, by quick and sudden motion
pulled the cord, the bolts came out, and the
trap fell instantly. The wretched man fell
but horrible to relate, the jerk was so severe
that the leather collar broke and the poor
man fell fiat down on the stone floor of the
prison below. OF course the prisoner was
very much bruised and stunned. No sooner,
however, had he touched the floor, than he
was raised therefrom by the yigiant officers in
attendance, and this time carried up the stairs.
1t was some minutes before the rope could be
again prepared, and during this interval his
sufferings must have been very great At
length, however, a running moose was made
in the rope, and the rope itself placed around
his neck. Again was the wretched man placed
in the proper position on the drop again was
the cap placed over his eyes, and again was
the bolt withdrawn, and the murderer launched
into the space below This time the work
was better done. The poor man struggled vi
olently, and swung to and fro for some min
utes; but his struggles grew fainter and faint
er, and after ten or twelve minutes ceased al
together.-C Chicago Times.

The CLAQUEURs OF PARIs.-The Romans
had custom of employing mourners to at
tend funerals, who were expected to give eclat
to the solemn ceremonies by weeping, groaning
and various mercenary and extravagant mani
festations of sorrow. The Parisans have the
counterpart of this custom in the profession of
La Cldque, an organized and disciplined force.
two thousand strong, divided into regiments
and companies, under the command of cap
tains, colonies and chiefs, whose business
is to attend the theatres, and regulate
and direct the appreciation No manager
brings out play till he has propitated the
chef de cLaque. No author ventures his pet play
upon the stage, till his regiment of claquers
are in their places. The Westminster Review
gives an interesting description of the chief of
the claquers. He is the most important but
least suspected person of the drama He at
tends the rehearsals studies the hits and sit
uations gives directions to the author, man
ager, and actors distributes his subordi-
mates adroitly throughout the theatre gives
them the cue to applaud from his place
in the gallery, checking or rcdoubling it,
according to the current of feeling which he
succeeds in arousing in the green and unsus-
pecting audience before and around him. Ac-
tors and actresses whose fame is to be made
first secure the favor of La Claque, and the
applause is measured by their liberality. The
leaders of these mercenary Romans sometimes
become very rich. They advance money to
authors on the strength of their Prospects.
They estimate the probable success of dra-
matte seasons, and buy up the receipts
in advance. They are the emperors of the
drama, whom it would be death to oppose
or offend. An audacious manager once at
tempted to suppress the CIdque but his eff
forts were received with such discordant and
contradictory applause that he was glad to re-
turn to the old system which will probably re-
main as long as Frenchmcn love plays, and go
to the theatres.

On, the rose in the garden may blossom more fine,
And on statelier stalk the tall lily may shine;
They may spread out their charms but 1 give you

There's great deal of beauty hid under the hedge
There starTy-eyed blossoms begem all the ground
And the azure of Heaven is scattered around;
Ii you seek when the morning lies fresh on the sedge
There's great deal of beauty hid under the hedge
There are gay golden lilies with chalices bright
And pale, nodding lilies all tremblingly slight,
And delicate harebells that peep from the edge
There's great deal of beauty hid under the hedge
And cannot tell half of the lovely array
That the bees and the butterflies visit each day
That the birds sing so sweet to but yet l allege
There's great deal of beauty hid nnder the hedge
In the halls of the rich in the homes of the great

Lies the gold of the sunshine as soft in the hair
AS fair forms, sweet songs as warm hearts, will
