\ FEARFUL SCAFFOLD SCENE.-A horrible
scaffold scene occurred the other day i'll the
prison yard Of Jauer, in SileSia. A young
woman. not of the lowest class of the pOpu.
lation was to be beheaded for gratifying her
jealousy of her former lover by an act that
had led to the death Of several persons
The faithless man had deserted her and
married another girl The deserted mistress
to revenge herself, set fire to his house, and
several persons perished in the flames. She
was arrested. convicted and sentenced to sut-
fer death. On the scafold. just ut the
moment when the executioner barred her
neck and was about to fasten her to the
fatal block, she broke loose from him and
hi assistants, seized the large axe that was
TO cut off her head, and then defied the
dumbfouuded officers to take her. They
rushed upon her, showered blows upon her
head. and finally, after she had slightly
wounded some of them in the scuffie, she was
knocked down and handcufed. She uttered
wild, terrible screams all the while, and the
executioner and his men tried to dispatch her
as quickly as possible-they tore her dress
from her shoulders, tied her feet and dragged
her to the block Although she still resis-
ted to the best of her power, the leathern
strap on the block by which the head of the
victim is drawn forward, was soon slipped
over IT, and the executioner seized the axe
Unfortunately. the dreadful scene had made
him quite nervous, and on striking he missed
her neck and cut deeply into her shoulder
and back. The blood rushed from the fear
full wound, and the screams of the unfortu-
nate woman grew heart rending beyond de-
scription. A second blow, dealt her few
seconds afterward, finally put stop to her
| suferings.

THE WOMEN OF Scottish IsLAND.-A cor
respondent of the Glasgow Herald, who
recently visited the Island Of Lewis, in the
Hebrides, says:
- The women do all the heavy work.
They dig, delve and hoe; they carry heavy
loads of manure to the fields. and in the peat
season you may see them all carrying creel-
fuls of peat from the bog. You will often see
a man trudging along the road beside
woman. but the creel is always on the wom-
ans back. If they come to river or ford,
the woman crosses first, deposits her creel on
the other side, and then returns to carry the
man across. | only saw this once, but the
farmers tell me it is thing of every day
occurrence. When the creel is empty the
man sometimes slings it over his own shoul-
ders, and then mounts upon the back of the
woman, who carries them both across
together This, | am told, is the only occa-
sion on which, by any chance, you see a
creel on the back ola man. The women in
the rural districts here is. in fact, a beast of
Burden, and the men, in looking out for wives,
look largely to muscular development. A
story is current among the English speaking
farmers, that illustrates this conception of
woman's mission. In the middle of one peat
season, when labor was much in demand,
a man who was supposed to be a confirmed
old bachelor suddenly.married An acquaint
ance met him some days after. "What for
did you take woman like tlat?" said the
friend. did you no hear" replied the
man, that my horse was dead ?"
