By dragging gentlemen before special

public character in this way without any
grounds whstever but the mere 90 It is

How Ssrnnt Works.

The President has had his first i'll day since his
Inauguration, and there was some anxiety about
him all last Saturday. He is subject to ''sick
headaches"-an infiction which so many are
compelled to endure-and there was nothing
alarming in the fact that he had recurrence of
his old malady. He was very much prostrated the
previous day, and there is not doubt that the at
tack was unusually severe because of the excite
ment he has had to endure from the immense
ofice-seeking crowd, and from the controversy
over the Tenure-of-Office act His physicians
believe that these periodical headaches of his
are aggravated by his excessive smoking, So
long as he led active life in camp he was not
affected, but his life is now totally changed.
He is compelled to be in Office, or at least in
DOORS and subject to calls from 8 A. NJ. till mid
night. 1t is theory of some people that his
business hours commence at 10 A. NJ, and that
they close at P. NJ, but such is not the fact.
He has to see Congressman all the morning,
office-seekers generally till dinner, unless
he is in Cabinet meeting, and then after din
ner he is steadily bored by Congressman
again He rarely gets ont, even to ride,
now. Mr. Lincoln used always to endeavor to
get a ride out after dinner. Mr.. Seward always
did it in the midst of the war; and unless President
Grant does it he will break down, spite of his
iron constitution. His immediate friends should
see to it that he has plenty of daily exercise in
the fresh air, and diversion from the unpleasant
business of his office. If he can get over the
next three weeks he will be safe, for in that time
the great pressure will pass away Washington

A Rgce for Life.

An extraordinary trial has just taken place in
the Island of Reunion-the French poss essiOn
in the Indian Ocean. Pondicherry is small
French settlement in India-the last relic of
French power left in the Indian empire. Some
time ago young corporal of French sepoys
named Thouyelin blew up a powder magazine.
The penalty for the offense is death, but there
was no proper tribunal at Pondicherry, and SO
the criminal had to be taken to the Island of Re-
union many hundred miles distant. After q
long voyage he arrived, was tried and sentenced
to death.
Horrible to relate his sentence could not be
carried out at Reunion, and he had to be 'taken
to the place whence he came to be executed.
He was put ON board war ship, and the long,
miserable voyage back commenced. There was
a general outburst of sympathy in Reunion. The
process of carrying n criminal this immense dis
tance to be put to death appeared much more
like inhumanity than justice. Public opinion
was so strong that the sentence was speedily COM
muted, and then the race for life commenced.
The fastest vessel in Reunion was selected and
sent after the war ship, in the hope of overtaking
it and saving the life of the wretched man. This
sensational ocean race has been going on for
weeks, but it is not yet known which vessel
won. Happily, it does not matter. The tele-
graph. swifter than steam, has carried the re-
prievc from Paris to Pondicherry An answer
has been received that neither vessel has arrived
and thus, if the convict escapes the ocean, he
will escape death.
