MISCELLANEOUS
OF A FRENCH BISHOP IN roNQuN

&A06S SAAS4N w.
Late accounts from Tonquin bring reports of
the cruel execution Of the venerable Bishop
Don F. Melchior and his two servants in the VII
lage Of Kheng-lao, in Tonquin, by order OF the
Mandarins. They were suspected Of being
leaders of the insuFgent party against the go
vernment.
When led to the place of execution the two
servants were tied TO posts and beheaded; al
ter which the following torture, given in the
Hong-kong Register was inflicted on the
Bishop, whose predecessor, two years ago, also
suffered martyrdom at the hands Of the Ton
quinese:
The two servants having been executed, the
executioner stretched a mat on the ground.
placed a small carpet upon II, broke the chain
which was round the neck Of his cininence.
and made him lie down on his back upon the
mating. The Bishop wore. II this time, moth
ing but n pair of trousers turned up to The
thighs. The victim being thus placed, the eX-
ecutioner took two stakes, which he fixed in
the ground on each side Of him, and to which
his hands were tightly bound with cords,
causing great pain. Two others were then
placed under his arnpits. and crossed over the
chest of the Bishop, so as TO press 1t tightly
Two other posts were then set up at a short
distance from his feet The cords with which
the feet were bound were passed round these
posts and stretched violently, the fee, being
then pegsed down; the loins were similarly Sc
cured. II would be difficult 10 conceive the
torture Of the venerable prelate. thus bound
and racked. An order was then issued first to
cut off the feet, then the hands, afterward the
head of the martyr, and lastly to eviscerate
him. At this order five executioners com
menced their frightful duty. They were armed
with a kind Of billhook or Ratchet, purpo>ely
blunted in order to iniiict greater suffering
They commenced by cutting Oft the legs above
the knees. each limb receiving about twelve
blows before it was severed. The same process
was repeated with the arms. But the power
of speech now failed the happy martyr, who
so long as strength remained, had not ceased tc
call on the name of Jesus. His head was thes
struck off after repeated blows, and lastly, hi:
body was opened, and his e%ntrails drawn gu
with q hook.
Bishop Melchoir's head was exposed for some
days on the Southern gate Of Nan-dinh. an(
then broken 10 pieces and thrown into the sea

LETCHER AND MONTAGUE.

THE FIRST SONG 0P II CAMPAIGN.
BY PERCUSSION.
The time to fight for principles
Has come around again,
We must prepare for action, now,
And fight with might and main.
Those principles which we avow
Will teach us what to do,
And to this good old Commonwealth
Will keep us staunch and true.
We have two noble leaders now,
Who are we'll tried and true,
And to a man well vote for them--
For Letcher and Montague.
Cuonrs-Fil up, fill up, the soaking cup,
To those we'll tried and true,
For there are none we'd sooner trust
Than Letcher and Montague.
Both have worked for their native State;
Well was that work begun;
But till they reach n higher point,
Shall we think that work is done.
Letcher We'll place at the helm OF State,
With a brave and gallant crew,
And to assist him in the storm,
Well give him Montague.
The anchors weighed, and we're atioat,
Up with the spreading sail,
The unterrifed have mann'd the boat,
There's no such word as fail"
CHoRus-Fl to the brim, my gallant lads.
Here's to that noble crew,
Well drink to Captain Letcher
And his mate, Bob Montague.
