cnnnis OF Atrocities


The London journals continue the publication Of
the evidence taken by the Royal Commission in rea-
ton to the crueties practiced in Jamaica By Eyre
and his men.
It appears that the oats" used for fiogging men
and women were made by an old soldier Of the Sc
cOnd VI est india regiment named Bruce, who had 20
knack OF manufacturing cruel weapon. Here Is
the account:
THE WIRE CATS.
The first was made of twine, but after time thin
pieces Of wire were introduced This was not done
Mr.. Kirkland. collector of St. Thomas-in-t Fast
said, by his order; he knew 1t afterwards, but the
amount of wire so trng that he didnOt thinkita
matter of any importance, and he did not believe
they were in more than three days Another
witness deposed that wire twisted round the
cord lnterwlned with l., about half the length OF
the cat but Mr. Kirk and said the wires were never
bound with the cord, but the whole length of the
cat. The wire was OF brass, came from Mr. Ford 8
store at Bath, and was what is known in the trade as
lS-guage wire.
The story told by Mrs. Bruce, wife of the black
soldier who fogged the people at Bath is that in the
first instance her husband made cat which the
'bushaS" (OyerSeerSl and others who had escaped
from the rebels said was too light Then wire ca.

husband tainted away, and she had to give him medi-

were most severe the cruelty terrible. Some of the
men who to be hung got one hundred lashes.

AN OLD GENERAL AND HIS VIoLIS.-Spohr gave
violin lessons in London. and was much amused at
the wavs of some of his pupils, of one of whom he
tells this story:
One was an old General on half-pay. but who al
ways made his appearance in full uniform decorated
with his orders and with the extreme of high mill
tary bearing. He, an exception, always came TO
my house, but. nevertheless required to play Tor
threequarters of an hour only as according to the
custom there. deduction made of the quarter OF
hour for the drive. He came every morning, Sun
days excepted, in his old state carriage, precisely at
twelve o'clock, ordered one of his belaced and pow
dered footmen to bring up his violin case, and after
dumb greeting, sat himself down Immediately to
his muslc-desk.
But previous to that he took out his watch to see
what O'Clock the lesson would commence, and then
set it down close to him. He would bring easy duets
with him. chiefly of Pleyel, in which played second
violin. Although there many things in his play
that indicated the Impractical pupil. soon saw it
would not be wise to point them out to him. con-
tensed myself, therefore, with accommodating my
tones much possible to those of the old gentle
man, and so we played duet after the other in the
best concord. AS soon, however, as We had played
the three-quarters of an hour, the General would
STOP though in the middle of the piece take from bis
waistcoat pocket pound note. in which a shil-
ling was wrapped up, and put it upon the table, He
would then take up his watch and take leave in the
same taciturn manner as he had entered.

THE CASE OF EDWARD W. GREEN, to be hung on the
18th inst. well known the Maiden murderer, Is
one of peculiar interest. 1t will be remembered
that on the 18th of December, 1868, Master Frank f.
Converse, a young man about seventeen years of
age, while Ill temporary charge of the bank in the
neighborng town of Maiden, during the absence Of
his father at dinner, shot dead and the bank
robbed Of five or six thousand dollars. An interval
Of several months elapsed before the perpetratOr
the murder was discovered, and when this had been
done there was an excitement almost as intense ps
when the murder committed, duplicating, as
it did, in the person of Edward W. Green the
postmaster, of the most prominent young
men of the town. Green arrested Sunday
night in February, 1864 and mediately after his
rest he confessed his guilt stating in brief that the
day mentionedhe entered the bank, got bill changed
saw that Converse alone, went back to his office,
armed himself with loaded revolver returned to
the bank passed behind the counter, as was his Ia
miliar custom, placed his pistol near tho head of
young Converse discharged one barrel into his brain,
and when the young man instantly fell diScharse ed
another into his temple while he was lying on the
floor. Green, besides being the respected postmaster
of the town, was entrusted by the town authorities
thereirOm. He gave reasons for perpetraing thi.
atrOciOu crime that he was in arrears in both capac
ties, and had no honest means of replacing the pub
lie funds which he had thus expended By the money
which he could get through the robbery of the bank
he could escape from this dilemma, and. as before
stated, he robbed the institution of s. 600, having
previously killed young Converse, the son of the
cashier to prevent the discovery of his crime. Dead
men tell no tales he thought; but he failed to re-
member as well the ancient and often true saying
that murder will out "

Trade sale Of Books.

Yesterday was opening day of the regular Spring
trade sale of books under the hammer of Messrs.
Leavitt, StTebegh Co.. successors to j. u. Cooley.
At $50 clock forty to fifty represen atives of
the trade present, quite number of these being
from the est6Tn States, and two three from Can
ada. The Eastern cities were also well represented,
as were Philadelphia and Kentucky. In the evening
average throughout was not up to the number at the
Spring sales OF other years.
The contributors to this sale unusually numer-
Gus and the invoices large, the catalogue covering
80 pages. This fact coupled with the general buSl-
ness depression suggested the probability that the
booksellers if they looked for even yerage rates thls
season, would be disappointed. Ihe result OF the
first DAYS sale would seem to confirm the assumption
that the book trade would sutier IN no less degree
than other branches of business. As before stated
the attendance was not large, and the prices realized
much further from the retail prices than in former
years-N. ". Times, Fh
