Calcraf, the ence famous English hangmau,
now superannunted, has been succeeded in his
hideous position by one Askcrn, who is thus
described in the Edinburgh Co,Vant:-
"Askern, the hangman, is a man about forty
yeas OF age, tall dark COmpleNioned, well formed,
and with lnrge wbskers and moustachios. Not
less than six feet in height, and little bent II
with care; lie is piOpurionably stout and a man
of apparent iirmness and determination. He is IA
person Of considerable intelligence, possessing
good knowledge Of current events. llC has been
q soldier, and seen much Of the world Dove,
the posOner, was the first person on whom he
performed the last offices OF the law.
"When Dove was sentenced to be executed at
York Castle, AskCrn, who had been unfoTtun ito
and was at that time on insolvent debtor inn
pTisOnCd by bis creditors in the Castle, made
offer Of hih services for the oCcasion-which the
York magistrates from their knowledge of his
character and skill, did not hesitate 50 accept
He expresses himself strongly on the ignorance
displayed by the mob In almost always Kissing
the hangInnn when he appears on the sc iiiold.
He takes the somewhat broad view that the
hnsher Of the law has no more right to be con.
demned than the judge who has pronounced the
sentence.
"Askern, who belongs 10 Yorkshire, arrived in
Edinburgh on Sunday morning, and during a
portion of that day and Monday he walked about
in company with one OF the city officers in plain
clothes, but was, of course, quite unknown.
Hitherto his practice as q hangman has not been
CalcTaft, who is now upwards Of seventy years Of
age. Askern spent the night of Monday In the
county buildings, without going 20 bed, and oeca-
sionally going out 70 see the progress the
scaifold was making, TO ascertain the work
ing Of the drop, the measure Of the rope,
and other particulars, Notwithstanding that
he conducted himself with the greatest cool
ness, il was observed, as he came down
from the scaifold that tears were trieklng
down his cheeks. After the unenviable Office
was fulfilled, he entered into Rroom in the county
buildings and burst into crying, eXclaimiRg
that he hoped the Lord would forgive him, and
then remarked that he had only been discharg-
ing a solemn duty. Askerns fee was twenty
gnineas and travelling charges. Before he LEFT
town he received the expression Of the magis-
trate's satisfaction with the way IN which he had
performed his task. The execuioner left for
York by the 1915 train on Tuesday night He
occupied the compartment Of a third-class car
riage alone, and shortly after taking his seat was
recognized. The intelligence soon spread among
those on the platform, and till the train started
the carriage was surrounded by a curious crowd.
Askern, however, sat with his back 70 the window
during the whole time, and appeared inclined, II
Posalple, 70 shun observation"

Walking Leaves Of Au.traIIa.

Almost everybody has heard Of the walking
leaves Of Australia. For a long time after the
discovery of that island many people really be.
leyed that the leaves of a certain tree which
fOurished there could walk about the grOund.
This story arose in this way. Some English sailors
landed upon the coast one day, and after roam
ing about until they were tired they sat down
under tree 70 rest themselves. A puff of wind
came along and blew OFF Q shower of leaves,
which after turning over and over in the air, as
leaves generally do, finally rested upon the
ground.
As il was midsummer and everything appeared
quite green, the circumstance puzzled the sailors
considerably. But their surprise was much
greater, as YOU may well suppose, when after a
short time they saw the leaves crawling along the
ground towards the trunk of the tree. They ran
at once for the vessel, without stopping 10 exam
inc into the matter &C all, and set sail from the
land where everything seemed bewitched. One
of the men said he expected every moment to
see TIE trees set 10 and dance jig"
Late explorations Of Australia have taught us
that these walking leaves are insects.
They live upon the trees. Their bodies are
very thin and fat their wings forming large leaf
like organs. When they are disturbed their legs
are folded away urder their bodies, leaving the
shape exactly like leaf with It's stem and all
complete. They are of bright dten color In
the summer, bat they gradually ciihnge in the
faA, with the caves, into the brown Of frost
bitten vegetation. When shaken from the tree.
they lie for few moments upon the GROUND as
though they were dead, but presently they begin
10 crawl along towards the tree, which they ascend
Rgain. They rarely use their wings, although
they are pretty well supplied In this respect.

LETTER PROM THE PREsIDENT.-It will be
remembered that Mr.. S. Z. Roberts, Of Trenton,
presented to the Philadelphia Sanitary Fair a
cane made from the wood of the Arch Of We'll
come under which Washington passed on his
way to New York to assume the Presidency.
Through the exertions Of c. c. Haven, Esq,

THE OSE HUNDRED DAfs' MEN.-Notwlth-
standing the recent announcement of the Provost
Marshall General that the hundred davs' men are
not exempt from the draft, there yet appears to
he considerable doubt upon the subject, ana the
opinions OF very eminent men nave been solicited.
Judge Whiting, of Washington, decides that
hundred days men who may I've pctuallv IN the
service at the time the draft takes place are
exempt from that draft; but that those who may
not be in such service at the time are lidble.
These were not enlisted for one hundred days ,
but for period not exceeding that time, and
should they be mustered out by the Government
before the day set for the draft they then are
regarded as liable.
A MoDRL CANP.-DOubtless many citizens are
not aware that a view of the daily routine of q
soldiers life is afforded them by visit to Captain
c. +. Maguire's Camp, near Gray's Ferry. The
men under his command are veterans, and fully
posted up in the duties Of a soldier, and they
appreciate the honor which has been conferred
upon them, by being stationed at the important
post which they hold. The location Is desirable,
and the Improvements and accommodations which
have been made for both the men under his COM
mand and the visitors TO the camp are admirable
and the Captain and his First Lieutenant McEwen
deserve credit for the manner in which they have
contributed TO the general welfare of all who
should visit the camp, which is accessible by the
Spruce and Pine Street Railway.
The AUGUST ELEcTIoN.-Last evening meet
ing of the citizens of the Twenty fourth Ward
was held in the Hall Of the National Union AS
sociation, for the purpose Of hvoring the pro-
posed amendments 70 the State Constitution Civ
ing the soldier the right TO vote. Speeches were
made by james Miller, Esq, Colonel Mont
gomcry, of Yicksburg, Professor Rhoads, aud
others, in favor Of granting the privilege or
voting to the soldiers.

The steamer Kingston, belonging to the Chesa-
peake Towboat Company, WAS run aground by
her pilot about three o'clock Sunday morning, a
few miles below the month of the Potomac river,
on the shore of Northumberland county, Vir-
gnia and stuck fast. The officers and crew,
fourteen in number, remained on bolrd all lay
Sunday, but at nishtthe Rebels were seen coming
down ON the beach and putting OF for the
steamer.
The crew then took to their boats, aud left the
steamer. The Rebs came Otf to the steamer, dis
mantled her of what property they could conve-
nieHily convey, and then set her on fire and de-
siroyed her The Kingston was a powerful side
wheel and double-ender, and was worth from
fifty TO sixty thousand dollars.
The pilot,a BaltlmoTean, was suspected of foul
play in the matter and has been taken TO Phila-
dephia for examination.
