The Last Hours of Walker.

BY way Of Havana and New Or
leans, details confirming the reported
execution of Walker, on the 18th ult. ],
are received. He died with firmness
and penitence A Havana paper
gives the folio wing particulars
As soon as Walker entered the pris-
on he was heavily ironed, and asked
if he wanted anything He only ask
ed for water He then sent for the
chaplain of this port, and protesting
his faith as a Roman Catholic, he was
seen thereafter almost constantly kneel-
ing at the feet of the priest in front
of small altar, on which by the dim
light of the tapers, the image of Jesus
was distinguished. Among other
things he once said to the captain,
81 am resigned to die my political
career is concluded"
On the 18th ult., Walker was noti-
fed of his sentence Of death and to
this startling message the onl y reply
he made was to ask at what hour he
would be executed, and whether he
had time to write.
On the 18th at O'Clock, the cul-
prit marched to the place ofexecution.
He walked with crhcifx in his hand
upon which he bent all his regards,
looking neither to the right nor to the
left, but listening piously to the psalms
which the priest recited in his ear
He entered the hollow square FORM
by the soldiery in the place of execu-
ton, and there full of resignation, pro-
nounced the following words
| declare myself member of the
Roman Catholic Church. | declare
that l have injured the people of Hon
duras to great extent, being led to
do so by the people Of the Island Of
Ruatan, who, after calling me, deceiv-
ed me and left me to NV fate. I ask
pardon for those poor men that &C.
companied me, for they are not as
guilty as am. If my life can be of
auy benefit to society / lay it down
with the greatest readiness, pardoning
my judges that / may obtain pardon in
the next world.

WHAT Mr.. COUGH HAS DONE
During his late visit to Britain he has
delivered about FIVE hundred addresses
to about one million of auditors, en-
bracing all classes, from peers of the
realm to smutcbed artifcers of the
manufacturing towns. Under the
persuasions of his unriyalled oratory,
40 less than $4,000 persons have been
induced to take the pledge of total
abstinence. Decaying organizations
have been revived New societies
have been brought into the field
And into influential circles of society,
never before reached, the arousing
truths of the drunkard's peril and the
drinkers doom, have been carried by
this prince of dramatic orators. To
Mr. Cough unqueStionably belongs
the honor of having ADDRESSED larger
number of human beings, and of hav-
ing achieved greater number of ora
torical successes than any public speak
er of the age. 1t is very amusing to
listen to some of Mr.. Coughs piquant
narratives of his late visit-of his in
terviews with celebrities-of the adroit
manner in which he turned the tables
upon a boisterous thousand or two of
Oxford students who turned out on
the first evening of his engagement to
"put down the fanatic" He tells a
good story of the impression he pro-
duced upon Soyer, the celebrated
French professor Of gastronomy. At
the close of his lecture in Drury Lane
theatre, the mercurial Frenchmsn came
rushing on the stage with the excla-
nation, +" Oh you are a most Wonder
fool leetle man-a vonderfool man
and now if you vii come down to my
elup mouse VII give you my little
book on Cook" Well might. the
Frenchman style man 'vonderfoop
who could speak ninety-fve times in
monster London to crowded houses on
The thread-bare topic of temperance
And to the last the charm never wore
off. At his closing demonstration,
which was as thronged as the opening
one three years ago, Mr.. Cough re-
teived a private gift of affection from
'4ord Shaftesbury, and farewell adj
dress signed by three hundred distin-
ruished diyines, reformers and civil
ians. At Liverpool great concourse
friends accompanied him to the ship,
end gave him such parting cheer on
the wharf as that which rang for Jen-
ny Lind on the same spot ten years
sefoFe.

preaching the citidel of life. But a
remedy was tried merely by way of an
experiment, which to the surprise of
all present acted like charm, the
component parts Of which were onion,
tobacco, salt, of equal parts, made in
to poultice and applied to the wound,
and at the same time cord was bound
tightly around his wrist. In two
hours afterwards he was so far recov-
cred as to be able to resume his work.
I knew an old negro who cured a
boy that had been bitten by mad
dog by the same application.
