A HaIf-Executed Highway nan-The Sensa
ti0ne of Hanging.

One would naturally suppose that man
who had suffered all the horrors of hanging
lust short of actual death, would never risk
the gallows again; but such in one case at
least, was not the result A house-breaker
named Smith was hanged at Tyburn, De-
cember "a, l705 and when he had hung
nearly fifteen minutes, the people shouted "a
reprievelh He was cut down-bled, and he
recovered
When asked what his feelings had been, he
replied in substance that "when he was
TUNED off, he for some moments was sensi-
BILE of very great pain, occasioned by the
weight of his body, and felt his spirits in a
strange commotion, violently pressing up
wards; that having forced their way to his
head, he, as it were, saw great blaze or
glaring light, which seemed to go out of the
eyes with flash, and then he lost all sense
of pain; that after he was cut down, and be-
gan to come to himself, the blood and spirits
forcing themselves into their former cham
nels, put him, by a sort of pricking or shoot
ing, TO such intolerable pain that he could
have wished those hanged who had cut him
down." ..I ...... 'a
Ever afterward he went by the name Of
halfhanged Smith. This fellow soon re-
turned to his former evil habits, and was
again tried at the Old Bailey for house-break-
ing but the jury brought in a special YER
dict, leaving the affair to the decision of the
twelve Judges, who decided in favor of the
prisoner. Even this second wonderful escape
did not deter him from resuming his NAL.
practices, and the third time he was to have
been brought to trial, but the prosecutor
died before the day appointed, and thus he
once more got free. Nothing is known Of
his subsequent history.

ANOTHER PoLITIcAL ANEcDoTE ABOUT DoUe-
LAS AND HIS NoMINATIoS.-A good story is
told of Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania,
in connection with the tenth ballot for Doug
las at Charleston. The news came over the
wires that Douglas had received one hundred
and fifty and one-hdD votes. "0ne hundred
and ffty-and one-hdLf" repeated Mr.. Stevens
very slowly and mock-seriously, "the one
half means BigLerp Mr.. Douglas was about
the Capitol for several hours yesterday, and
did not entirely give up the ship. A Repub-
lican, who is on good terms with him, asked
of him, "Well, Judge, sOe are all specializing
on your chances, what do you think about
it?' 81 don't know" he replied, "but they
will swindle me out of the nomination.
"And if they do, suppose we put you up at
Chicago-will you standf" OF course this
was bddinage, and the senator replied in the
same vein, "Send your committee to me and
if don't do anything better for 'em, I'll give
em some good whisky, and we will talk the
matter over"

DoUGLGs KILLED BY FoRNEYs ADVOCACY.
A Washington correspondent has the follow
ing: "Some of the doughface Democrats say
that Forney has killed Douglas; that if it had
not been for his friendship, the South would
have shaken hands and made up with him at
Charleston. 1t is unquestionably true that
the fact that Forney, Hickman, Haskin and
others have acted the past winter with the
Republicans, has had g;eat effect in all the
slave States against Douglas, but it mast be
remembered that without these men and the
class of Democrats they represent Mr.. Doug
las had not the chance of triumph in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, or even Illinois, If he
had Joined the Constitution newspaper in
making war upon these gentlemen, he might
perhaps have got the nomination, but he
would have been the weakest candidate of all
who have been named. Mr. FoTney, It is
said, is very indignant at the conduct of the
South at Charleston, and much disappointed
at Douglass failure to get the nomination at
an early stage of the balloting. ..t- Ha

Description of the Great subtcrranean
.F RAILWAY in London.

.f Railway in London.
The London illustrated Negs, of late date,
contains description of the tunnel now be-
ing built under the streets of London, for the
purpose. of connecting the, city with the
series Of railways at the north of the Thames
To have railway after the American
fashion, passing through densely populous
district and crossing on a level and over
crowded thoroughfare, was considered out Of
the question. Therefore, the plan was re-
sorted to of avoiding the surface altogether,
leaving that to the ordinary local traffic and
travel, and going entirely under the city with
all the passenger and freight trains. The
London railroad tunnel was constructed by
making an open cut from the surface of the
street down the distance required, building
the archway, and then replacing the sur
face-a cheaper mode than tunnelling. The
work has been contracted for and is now in
progress, the company engaged in it having
capital of four millions two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, in shares of fifty dol
lars each. To avoid any annoyance from
smoke or the combustion of fuel in the tun-
mel, the traffic is to be worked by light loco
motives of a novel and ingenious construc-
ton. They have no fre-box; but will be
charged with hot water and steam at a GER
tain pressure, to be supplied by fixed boilers
at the termini, and will be furnished with a
large heater TO assist in maintaining the re-
quired temperature. 1t is believed that each
locomotive can be supplied with power suffi-
cient to run the whole tunnel distance. The
tunnel is expected to be finished andin work
ing order by 1862. This plan is evidently
the best one which can be devised for passing
over the space occupied by crowded cities
1t will ultimately have to be resorted to
wherever practicable by all roads which re-
quire the crossing of such spaces, no matter
what the cost may be.

The Figure of George Washington.


Curtis, in his "Recollections of Washing
ton" says
"Of the portraits of Washington, the most
of them give to his person fulness that it
did not possess, together with an abdominal
enlargement greater than in the life, while
his matchless limbs have in but two instances
been faithfully portrayed-in the equestrian
portrait by Trumbull, of $780, copy of which
is in the City Hall of New York, and in an
engraving by Loisler, from a painting by
Cogniet, French artists of distinguished
merit. The latter is not an original painting
the head being from Stuart, but the delinea-
tion of the limbs is the most perfect extant."
A writer in the New York EUening Post,
after copying the above paragraph, observes;
About fifty years ago the writer of this the
grandson of an officer of the revolution,
called to pay his respects to that gallant and
patriotic old soldier, Colonel Benjamin Tall
madge, of Litchfeld, who was one of Wash
ington's aids during most of the war. Oh
course, the conversation very naturally
turned upon the scenes and events of those
trying days, Valley Forge, Andres execution
and the like. Colonel TrumbulTs portrait OF
the Chief being mentioned, Tallmadge said
laughingly, that the legs in that picture were
painted from his. He said that the demands
of the service made it very inconvenient for
General Washington to give as much time in
| sitting as the painter required, that it was
frequently remarked how much his legs were
like those of the General, that Trumbull pro-
nounced them an exact pattern, and so, with
WashinGton's consent he served as a substi
tute, and thus the artist was able to take al
the time he needed to perfect that part of thi
portrait, which has always been greatly ad
mired

HUMBoLDTs OPINION OF THE UNITED STATES
AND THE AMERICAN DEMocRAcY.-Humboldt,
in his private letters, just published, is severe
upon the United States, which he regarded
as having betrayed the cause of freedom in
its devotion to slavery. He said:
In the United States there has, it is true,
arisen great love for me, but the whole
there presents to my mind the sad spectacle
of liberty reduced to mere mechanism in
the element of utility, exercising little en-
nobling or elevating influence upon mind
and soul, which, after ALL should be the aim
of political liberty. Hence indifference on
the subject of slavery. But the United States
are Cartesian vortex, carrying everything
with them, grading everything to the level Of
monotony. ..
Again, speaking of the success of the DEM
ocrats in 1856, he remarks:
And the disgraceful party which sells ne
gro children, and distributes canes of honor,
as the Russian Emperor does swords of honor,
and Graefe's noses of honor-who would
prove that all white workmen should rather
be slaves than free--have succeeded. What

GRAND EXHIBITION OF BEARS IN NEW YORK.

was given the other evening in New York.
The collection of bears is very fine, surprising
by far any ever before exhibited in that city.
There are about thirty of them, and dozen

the chains which bound them to the floor.
The old hunter has given them all names, and
seems particularly fond of "Lady Washing

among the Rocky Mountains for three years.
"Col. Fremont" is another huge animal.
Then there is Jenny Lind" docile beast,
and "Gen. Arnold" who is pronounced as
treacherous as was the soldier from whom il
takes its name. One shaggy fellow climbed a
tree, and took seat in large arm chair on
the top of it, while another danced when bid

WOMEN BETRAYED BY THE PECULIAR PRES
SURE OF THEIR HANDs.---Two French ladies,
who were in San Francisco when the japanese
arrived there, were anxious to go on board the
vessel where the foreigners were. But ladies
could not be received. Nevertheless, they put
on portions of their husbands's wardrobe and
made the visit. They escaped detection while
they only talked, for neither party could un-
derstand each other; when, however, they
shook hands with the Admiral, a peculiar
smile passed over his features, and be imme-
diately caused an attendant to dive into his
cabin and bring out variety of hair-pins
bracelets, furs and other things pertaining to
the female toilet. He said, with an Oriental
wink at his interpreter, that he could not be
mistaken in the pressure of lady's hand.

"A GAY MARRIAGE IN SYRIA.--A gay mar
riage recently took place at Beirut, in Syria.
The parties were the American Vice-Consul
at Beirut, DR.. R. G. Barclay, of Virginia, and
Consul at Jerusalem. After the wedding GER
emony, the bridal party, including the officers
of British man-of-war, mounted themselves
upon gaily-caparisoned Arabian steeds, and,
preceded by the bride in sedan chair, went
to hotel for the breakfast. The flags of En-
gland and America were festooned about the
hall, and the wedding cake, monster, four
feet in hight was similarly decorated in min
iature. After breakfast there were speeches,
of course and it is unnecessary to say that
the Americans were well forward in the ora

to furnish houses to the public at a cheap

and sell them, or do anything else that the

free. thinkers, who inbabit the little village Of
Williams Centre, in this State, have opened
"Free Hall" wherein all classes and condi-
tions of men are welcome to utter such her
estes as they please. A Lyceum has also
been started at De Rupter, in New York, for
similar purpose The reformatory press is
not so slow in recognizing the advantages
which accrue to the "cause of progress" from
the opening of these places. Reform speakers
are about to take possession of the new halls,
triumphing in the large liberty they enjoy,
and apparently careless of consequences.
