An Execution in France.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Star of the lst inst, writes as follows:
An execution which has just taken place
at Versailles is very likely to increase the
repugnance manifested here to capital pun
lshment. The criminal was a man who
might well take his stand along with De Ia
Pommerais and Steinkampf The murder
ne committed was on the person of an old
man with whom he lodged at place called
Chene Rond, and whom he determined to
XII In order to prevent some scandalous rev
eiatlonS from being made, and to possess
himself OF his victim S furniture He exc
cuted his purpose with hammer; and with
an art which could only be shown in such
case by one who had been butcher. cut m
the corpse, put it into sack, and threw it
INTO mari pit After having ascribed the
murder to the agency of two unknown Bel
glans-whlch reminded the Juge d Instruc-
ton OF the two bearded men Dumollard
used to talk of-he made, under pressure of
the magistrates, partial ayowal of his
crime. He was found guilty without exten-
uatIng circumstances, and as his appeal to
the Court OF Cessation and recourS en- grace
was Intellectual, he could not for more than
a week have hoped that his sentence would
not be executed. Nevertheless he showed
degree OF resignation astonishing for such a
brutal nature as his. But on the morning
hXed Tor his execution, when the TAILOR and
the prison chaplain entered his cell he awoke
with start, saying, good morning, Mon
sleur Able. My poor fellow, returned
the priest, your last hour approaches. To-
day you must appear before God But be
OF good courage. On learning this the con
demned man fell into state of utter pros
tration, and cold sweat covered his face.
He allowed himself to be led into the chan
ell; but mass was hardly over when, in fit
of delirlum, he rushed against the wall as
If to force his way through it, and battered
1t with his head so violently that he was di-
rectIy bathed in blood. The doctor ordered
a lotion Of vinegar and water to be applied
to the wounded parts, and as this was being
done the culprit attempted to commit sui
eide by swallowinga handkerchief. The ex-
ecutloner and his aids appeared few mo-
ments later. and arranged, without meeting
any resistance, the toilette .fitnebre A fit Of
complete stapeur succeeded the violence
which was shown in the chapel Brandy
was administered to stimulate the patient,
who was transported to the prison van which
conveyed him to the scafold There he ap-
peared in a state of indiscribable excite
ment, foaming at the mouth and uttering
cries of despair like some wild animal. It
was found necessary to drag him from the
van and up the steps Of the guillotine
Several men, when he got there, had to take
hold of him to prevent him from evading
his sentence, and to hold his hands and feet
while his head was severed from his body

Vice President Hamlin.

At q republican ratification meeting in
Bangor, Maine, Vice President Hamlin
made an address of some length, wherein
he took occasion heartily to commend the
nominations made at Baltimore, eulogizing
the President as man of eminent ability,
and of unsurpassed integrity-one who has
administered the government well, and who
will bring the nation out of its difficulties
and plant it on the eternal principles of lib
erty. He also spoke of Mr.. johnson from
triot, and eminently fitted and qualified for
the position to which be had been nomina-
ted, and said that the ticket will have the
honest and hearty support of all true and
loyal men.

GaneTal Grant N Camn.

Cen Grant in camp Who would not
like TO see him? \ pastor Of New York
city went out for the Christian Commission.
lie had, OF course, a great desire for Il per-
sOnai interview with the Lieut.. General.
But he was told he could not gain access to
him II ali-couid rot see him even. He re
solved to try. With three friends Of the
Commission, he set out, found the tent Of
the General aud made for it. Advancing
towards the front he at once saw chat the
tent was occupied. a person sat near the
entrance. lie was coatless, sitting in his
shirt sleeves; his vest was unbuttoned his
feet were ii slippers and raised upon stool;
he was alone, reading newspaper and had
a cigar in his mouth. As the three gentle
men az preached. he looked up. One of
them asked, is this General Grant tent. .
He somewhat m0destly replied, That my
name. 'Wiil you allow three New York
clergymen, soon 20 90 home, to take you by
the hand p with the greatest Of pleas
ure, > was the response; Il am glad to see
you gentlemen; take seats. How do
you endure the campaign?' was asked.
With great tenderness he replied: Finely.
| only wish my men endured it as we'll "
One Of them said: I was in hopes to have
attended you to Richmond, General, before
| went home. To which Gen. Grant re-
sponded in emphatic tones looking the cler-
gylnan earnestly in the eye, Il expect to go
there" While the conversation was going
on, the incessant rattle Of musketry rang
along the air like millions of crackers under
millions OF barrels on Fourth of July
Bang, bang, in the distance sounded the
booming guns. Shot and she'll whizzed in
the air bat calm and unmoved and conf
dent sat the Lieutenant General as if in the
summer-house Of his own home at Galena
With this immense responsibility on him,
let every true American say, God bless the
brave. -

A Parrot Called as a Witness,

A man lost favorite parrot, which was
found in the possession of another person,
who refused to give it up. He was accord
ingly summoned to produce the bird in
court of law. The real owner, on being
asked how he could prove that 1t belonged
to him, replied that the parrot should be his
only witness. 1t was then brought to court
in a cage covered with cloth, and began to
whistle the tune Take your time, Miss
Lucy, while some subject was discussed
by the court. Its owner then put his face
to the cage, and desired the parrot to kiss
him, which the bird did most affeetionately.
He will do the same to any one, said the
defendant; and putting his mouth to the
cage, the parrot seized his lip and bit it Sc
verely, to the great amusement of the court.
Its owner then took it out of the cage and
kept it on his hand, when the bird answer
ed several questions put TO it in a ready and
extraordinary manner, and also showed so
much affection for its master that the Judge
Immediately ordered the parrot to be restor-
ed to him, and the defendant had to pay

Lincoln and johnson,

The Ohio State Journal calls attention to
the fact that Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
johnson are natives of Slave States. 1t
says:
Lincoln was born in Kentucky in 1909, and
johnson was born in North Carolina in
1905. Is it not wonderful coincidence
in the history of these wonderful times
that two men, both born in slave States, both
born OF poor parents, both subjected in
youth to all the depressing influences of the
aristOcratic system of slavery without any
Of its privileges, have become the stand
ard-bearers Of Freedom against the aggres-
sion Of slavery? And it now seems in the
highest degree probable that in these two
men the Stare States have themselves Civ
en- to the country the men who are to be
chiefly instrumental in eradicating and ut
