they are called scandinavian" and we are fire.

the ancient name Of Sweden and Norway. and
scandinavian, that is, Swede or Norwegian. at
fectioaately calls his country "Scandinavia," in
the same sense as we speak of Columbia" or
the "The Union" BY the way, there are over
nine thousand Scandinavian families IN Dane
County, Wisconsin. Although citizen of this
country for many years. DR.. Roback is Swede BY
birth, and compounds his medicines Of Swedish
herbs, We think the name is very appropriate--
We have the very highest opinion Of. the Medi-

Execution of Captain Gordon.

Nathaniel Gordon, the convicted slave
dealer. suffered the extreme penalty of the
law at noon yesterday. in the yard of the
City prison. During the preceding night
he attempted to commit suicile by taking
strychnine. which was conveyed to him in
cigars; but through the untiring exertions
Of Drs. Simmons. Hodgman and Wood,
the poison was removed from his stomach.
and he was resuscitated. He was very
weak. however. during The morning. and
had it not been for the free administration
Of stimulants. it would have been necessa
ry to carry him to the gallows.
Gordon was pale faced. dark eyed lit
tie man. and with an appearance that
would negative the idea of dealer in hu
man flesh. He leaves land this is the
most mournful scene in the whole tragedy J

ly. curley headed. boy, to lament the hours
of his "accursed thirst. for gold." illegally

arose from his bed and asked for something
to drink. He was handed brandy, and al
lowed to drink some three or four glasses
before the work Of pinioning was COM
menced. The stinsulant seemed to revive
him greatly. and he bore the operation of
binding his srms much better than was ex-
pected. Marshal Mury then proceeded
to read the death sentence. during the de-
livery Of which the prisoner looked the
picture Of despair. Shortly after this the
Rev. Mr.. Camp. who had been the culprit's
spiritual adviser ever since his condemns
ton. entered the cell. and delivered a short
but impressive prayer. Gordon listened
attentively to the clergyman. and when the
latter concluded the prisoner expressed
fervent. hope that he might be the re-
cipicnt of Gods mercy and pardon
| All being in readiness, Mr.. Simeon ORA

fatal moment had arrived. The culprit
seemed surprised that the execution should
take place SO soon. and said, Il thought
it was not to take piece until two o'clock. .

reached the gallows. and took up his posi-

there was a pause oil few seconds, but all
was still as death. The work of adjusting
the rope was quickly performed, for it was
evident tha. Gordon could not stand long;
but hardly had the task been completed.
when he showed evident signs Of fainting.
The cap was quickly drawn over the cul

give the signal to the executioner, when
Gordon staggered. and would have fallen
to the ground had he not been caught by
one of the deputies. In another moment,
however, he was Strengthened mp. the signal
was given. the axe fell. and the body Of
