Execution of Thirty-eight Indians.

Thir.y-eigb. OF the condemned particle
pants in the Indian massacres in Minne-
sofa, were executed at Mahkato on the
26th ult One was respited, there being
doubt OF his guilt, and the negro who
turned States evidence had his sentence
commuted 10 Ten years. imprisonment
The gallows was !wenty-four feet square,
and so arranged as 10 afford room for the
hanging OF ten Indians on each side.
The day Of execution they painted their
faces gay as possible, smoked. sang their
death. song and shook hands with the off,
GERS, bidding them good bye as If going
on long and pleasant journey. Atter
A. NJ, they were marched IN procession
by files Of soldiers to The scaffold. An as-
count says:
They went eagerly and cheerfully, even
crowding and jostling each other TO be-
ahead, Just like lot Of hungry boarders
rushing 10 dinner 10 hotel. The soldiers
who were on guard IN their quarters
stacked arms and followed them, and they
in turn were follwed by the clergy, re-
porters. etc.
As they commenced the ascent of the
scaffold, ,.he death song was again s.arted,
and when. they had all got up. the noise
they made was truly hideous. l.seemed
as il pa ndemonium bad broken loose. 1t
had a wonderful effect in keeping up their
courage.
The scene at this jurciure was one Of
awful interest. A painful and breathless
suspense held tie vast crowd which hac
assembled from all quarters to witness tie
execution. ~.
Three slow, measured and distinct
beats on the drum by Major Brown, who
had been announced as signal officer, and
the rope was cut by Mr.. Duly--the scaf-
fold fell, and thirty lifeless bodies
were left dangling between heaven and
earth. One OF the ropes was broken, and
Ihe body Of Rafting Runner fell 10 the
ground. The neck had probably been
broken. as but little sign Of life was OBJ
served, but he was Immediately hung up
again. While the signal beat was being
given, numbers were seen 10 clasp the
hands of their neighbors, which in several
instances continued TO be clasped I'LL The
bodies were cut down.
AS the platform fell, there was one, not
loud, but prolonged cheer from the
soldiery and citizens who were spectators,
and then all were quiet and earnes. wit
nesses Of the scene. For SO many, there
was but little suffering the necks of all.
or nearly all, were evidently dislocated by
the fall, and the after struggle was slight.
The ether condemned Indians were
kept close in their quarters. where they
were chained and not permitted to witness
the executions. During the awful mo-
ments. when they heard the death songs
of their companions in guilt they crouched
themselves down with their blankets over
their heads. and remained in perfect ST.
lence. They were much detected all day.
Some few sqaaws witnessed the scene.

Be A GENTLEMAN AT HoME There are
few families, we imagine. anywhere, In
which love is not abused as furnishing Ii
censo for impoliteness. A husband or faith
or,or brother will speak harsh words to those
that he loves best. simply because the secu-
rity of pure lovo aud family pride keeps him
rom goiting his head broken. 1t is shams
that a man will speak more impoiiteiy at
times to his wife or sister than he would dare
to any other female, except low and vicious
one It is thus that the hoIiest affections Of
a mans nature provo to be a weaker protec-'
tiou TO o woman in the family circle than
the restraints of society. and that woman
usually is indebted for the kindest poiiteDess
