Execution of Maximiiian.


Official Intelligence has been received
in Washington by the Austrian minister,
and confirmed by dispatches TO our gov
ernment to the effect that Maximiian
had been sentenced to death by Court
Martial. and that the sentence was exc
on the 19;h of June. 1t is said that he
was shot with his face to the front while
the Mexican generals were shot in the
back as traitors. The execution was in
defiance Of protests and requests by the
United States, Austria, Prussia and per-
haps other countries that his life be
spared. Thus closed the tragedy of the
Austrian Mexican Empire.
There was no apology for the base at
tempt to force an Emperor upon Mexico
She had right TO her own form of gov.
eminent and the foreign mcdiling which
sent him here deserved failure and CON
tempt. But it is a sad commentary upon
the civilization of the people Of Mexico
that the pressure upon Juarcz was SO
strong for the blood of the unfortunate
prince, that he could not obey the prompt
ings of his own heart to spare his life.
Macmillan was born in 1882 and was
brother Of the present Emperor of Austria

many noble traits and by personal bravery
and tact made himself popular with the
people wherever he happened to be-
During our rebellion Napoleon conceived
the plan of occupying Mexico and select.
ed the unfortunate Austrian for his
instrument. Macmillan formally accepted
the proaered crown in April 1861, making
conditional Remuneration of lis right of
succession to the Austrian throne. Since
that inauspicious time his life has been
one continuous struggle. lie shranl from
no effort, no hardship and no personal
sacrifice. lie held out bravcly hoping

Of honor remained TO meet his almost
certain fate on the withdrawal of the
French troops. Napoleon who induced
him to undertake the enterprise and
promised him aid deserted him in the
hour Of his trial, and he was at last
basely betrayed by one of own officers.
There is something heroic in the unparal-
lelled effort, the accomplishing endurance
and the manly facing of his ignominious
death by this highly polished, christian,
but misguided prince. The world will
hold the French Emperor responsible for
lis tragic fate.

I The trial of Surratt has progressed
but slowly Of late owing TO the ill.,.
ness of Judge Fisher which necessitated
short daily sessions. The testimony for
the prosecution is nearly or quite compile

efforts to weakening the credibliiy of the
witnesses statements. The principle
witnesses last week were Weichman DR..

TIIE AMERICAN COOKINC
CrnNE

Alter twenty years experience in the manufac-
turc Of Stoves, we became convinced some six
years since, that a vast amount of money was
being expended by the people Of this country, in
buying cheap and almost worthless stoves, large
portion of which was wa,ted and that true econ
omy consisted in buying the best stoves that could
lie made. notwithstanding the price was higher.
With this view we proceeded to construct the
American Cooking Stove and spared no pains or
expense to make it the best and most perfect stove
that could be made. And we have experimental
with it, and carefully watched its operation for the
last six years. and when an improvement suggest
ed itself, We have at once adopted it, and We have
several OF these improvements secured by letters
patent. In this manner, we do nos hesitate to
say, we have brought it to higher state Of per-
lection than has heretofore been attained in c" ok
ing stoves. The recent improvements in this
stove has added largely to its convenience and
effectiveness. In all tie varieties of stoves we
manufacture, we study usefulness durability.
convenience and economy in operation, rather
than cheapncss in price, and in so doing we arc
satisfied We study the interest of those purchasing
our stoves.
