pected the council Of war has condemned
them to death. Notice of the sentence
was given them yesterday at one, and Es-
cobedo ordered the execution to take place
at three in the evening. The Baron Mag
nus, who had been Minister to Prussia,
near Maximilian, and Senoras Riva Pala
clio and Martinez de la Tore, having re-
ceived telegram from Queretaro inform
ing them as to the hour Of execution, made
application to the Government for sus-
pension, so that the condemned persons
might have time to make their testament
tary dispositions, for which the time was
too short. The Government, which has
been anxious all along to temper justice
with clemency, suspended the execution uu-
til Monday next, so as to give Baron Mag
nus time to arrive before the execution. =
The sentence has been pronounced and is
irrevocable. All means have been tried to
procure the favor of the Government for
the condemned, but in vain. To all such
the Government has replied with simple
negative. All efforts are useless to avoid
the law, which will be applied without re-
mission. By the leisurely course of the
proceedings, and the various concessions
made to Maximilian and his associates, the
Government has tried to show the world
that it has not been urged by passion, but
its conscience, to solemn duty, however
weighty. The death therefore, of Maxi
milan, Miarmon and Mejia is decided up
on, and they must expiatc their crimes =
The whole world is about to be shaken, and
Mexico will be raised to lofty height in
the consideration and respect Of the whole
world"

A Faithless Wife and a Cool Husband

An Adrian, Michigan, paper relates 4
story Of aChicago gentleman and wife which
is decidedly novel In its denouement. The
couple few days since arrived in Adrian,
and stopped at hotel for the night. Tbe
next morning, the husband, having some
business to transact with party several
miles in the country, ordered horse and
carriage, and asked his wife to accompany
him. She, however, declined pleading in
disposition as her excuse. The husband
accordingly departed alone; but he had
not been gone long when the woman sent
note to gay fellow, living in the town,
inviting him to her room. Gay man re-
sponded st once by presenting himself at
the door of the lady's apartment. He was
at once admitted. But this nicely planned
tete tete was soo8 disturbed by the re-
turn of the husband much earlier than was
expected, he having met the party he was
going to see, thus being relieved ofthe neees-
sity Of pursuing his ride further. Upon
going to his wife's room. husband found il
locked, and, on demanding admit ance, he
heard noises which aroused his suspicious.
After some delay the door was opened, and
he found madame in bed. Looking about
the room he espied a pair of boots this
deepened his suspicious, and continuing
his search he exhumed from the clothes
press man en- dishabil7e. Instead of fall
ing upon him and beating him or killing
him, as is usually the case under such cir
cumstances, he cody bade him dress and
go with him for a social glass. Then turn
ing to his wife, he told her to pack up and
take the next train tor her parent S home,
as he never wished to see her again and
so it was done. b

RIOT IN DETRoIT.-Tent preaching was
inaugurated in Detroit some weeks since,
and tents have been pitched in various
parts of the city. On Saturday last the
canvas was put up in the very heart of the
German portion ofthe city. The Germans,
under the apprehension that the affair was
intended to start a crusade against them in
favor of temperance, made an attack, cut
the ropes, let the canvas down, and dis
persed the meeting. On Sunday night the
canvas was put up again, and the attack re-
peated while the religious services were be-
ing held. At one time riot was imminent,
but Captain Rogers with a squad of police
after hard fight, put the disorderly per-
sons to fight, and arrested ten or fifteen of
the ringleaders. Further trouble is appre-
hended.

Abiding to the grand ceremonies at the
Paris exposition, on the occasion of the
emperor's distribution of the prizes. the
New York Tribune says:
Zone curious incident occurred Just al
this moment the cable, doubtless, for fear
of injuring the harmony of the narrative,
omits to mention. When Mr.. Hughes,
the inventor of the printing telegraph, was
called up to receive his prize, the emperor
took his hand, making him an exception to
all the other recipients of medals. Mr..
Hughes, as he touched the imperial finger,
slipped into the august palm of his serene
highness little bit of paper containing the
last massage received by the cable and
printed by the machine for which he was
just being decorated. 1t contained these
words: "Maximilian is shot. His last
words we're, poor Carlotta?'' His royal
serenity read the telegram, and Immediately
gave evidence of a fearful agitation. His
cheek blanched, his hands trembled, and
the diamonds on the imperial garter quiv-
cred SO in the sunlight that shout arose
from the admiring multitude.

enormous frauds practiced by the distillers.
Previous to the war there were 90, 900, 900
gallons of whiskey manufactured annually
in this country. The Times assumes that
it cannot be less than 100000 gallons
now Notwithstanding the increased price.
The tax on whisky is s. gallon. No es-
innate, however liberal, could make the
lawful taxes less than one hundred millions
of dollars annually. But last year the gov
