Breaking Criminals on the Wheel.

The good old times must, in very many
respects, have been very bad old times,
Read, for instance, the following extracts
from the instructions given in l746 by the
Paris Parliament to Monsieur de Paris"
that is to say the Partisan executioner, in
regard to the course he was to pursue in
breaking criminals
After undressing the prisoner, no mat
ter whether male or female, until nothing
but short shirt covers them, he will tie
Them to the st. Andrews cross on the scaf-
fold stretching their limbs out as far as
possible, and turning their elbows outside.
After giving the chaplain notice to leave
the scatfold, he will take the bar Gan iron
bar four feet long, and very heavy and
commence striking on the prisoners limbs.
He will commence at the left shoulder,
crushing the bones by two deliberate blows.
One blow will be sufficient for the upper
arm, two for the left elbow, two for the
wrist and hand. Two heavy blows will be
on the left hip bone, three on the left knee
joint two, well laid on, on the left leg,
and one on the left foot q Monsieur de
Paris will then wait minute or two, and
commence " working " on the right side of
the culprit, commencing at the foot and
finishing at the shoulder The greffier of
the court vii. see to it that these instruc
tions are strictly carried out. The screams
Of the culpr;t must not be hseded by "Mon-
sieur," nor must he give him the coup de
grace before finishing on the right
shoulder. The coup de grace is to consist
of three heavy blows, to be delivered On
the breast OF the prisoner if the prisoner
is woman, the coup de grace will be de-
livcred under her ribs, lest her bosom
should break the force of the blows. The
body of the culprt will be delivered to
the medical faculty Of Paris, which will
give report on the condition of the
corpse to the greffire of the Parliament.
This horrible mode of punishment was
witnessed on an average once week by
the Parisians. One OF the last victims Of
this atrocious cruelty was a poor servant
girl, who had been convicted OF stealing
two or three dresses OF her mistress. She
was broken on the wheel because larcenies
by domeSties had become very numerous in
Paris. Her agony lasted seven minutes
and stream of blood, spouting from her
mouth after her knee joint had been
crushed, drowned her heartrending cries.
Queen Maria Antoinette had been appealed
to to save the girl and hanghtily refused
This was afterward remembered against her,
During the reign of Louis XVI, about
three thousand persons were actually broken
on the wheel. Such we're the "good old
times in France.

FRANCE.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE budget of M.
Mague, the Minister of Finances has been
made public. 1t shows that the floating
debt has been re duced two millions francs
during the past year. The estimates of
the minister for the fiscal year 1870
promises an excess of S6,000,00O francs in
receipts over expenditures, which surplus
is to be devoted to reducing the extraordi.
nary budget, and 100000 francs are to
be made applicable to the redemption Of
rentes.
NJ. Mague congratulates the country on
the return of public confidence and the re.
sumption cf industrial pursuits, and con-
cudes by declaring that the gratitude of
the nation is due to the Emperor for re-
moving the only cause of rupture between
European powers, and Of international and
domestic distrust.

AGRIcULIURAL.

SAVE THE EMANURE.-Farmers are moi
aware how much is wasted on their farms
that with little care and trouble might be
made into valuable manure. Everything
can be decomposed, either in process Of
time, with the assistance of the elements
or by the aid of chemical agents, should be
saved for the compost heap. Select some
place in the barn yard, or adjacent lot
where it will be convenient of access, and
there gather your compost, adding from
time to time such solvents as may be neces>
sary. Here bring all the weeds, sods,
briars, thistles, &c, that you are compelled
to dig and cut up through the summer and
add to this from time to time whatever you
have of waste material. muck from the
swamp, decayed fruits, potato vines, leaves,
the deposit from the sink, &C., and at the
close of the year you will be surprised at
the size of your heap, and be able to see
for yourself how much is really wasted on
your farms, that might be turned to valua-
BILE account. Rural American.
OATs.-Oats are, of course, a most i'm
portant article in stable management and
these, as everything horse eats, ought to
be of the finest quality. 1t may be thought
that the weight of oats is not matter of
great consequence, nor, in fact, is it to cart
or common horses; but it is quite the re-.
verse to such as we are particular about as
to stamina, wind and condition. Horses
are generally fed by measure, not by
weight, consequently in giving light oats,
we actuall rob the horse of his proper
quantum of meal, giving him husks in.
stead and if we feed him by weight, going
on the principal that a pound of feathers
and a pound of lead are both a pound
the principal would be very bad one as
regards oats for in that case, though the
horse gets his pound weight, if he gets an
undue portion of it in husks he is only
filled with that which is no use to him so
in every way light oats are bad for choice
horses.
USEFUL REcIpE.-At this season of the
year, when arrangements are to be made
for winter fires, this recipe is well worth

and stoves, the insertion Of stove pipes.

Trubner & Con pany, says the Phila.
Press, of London, are about issuing COM
prehensive and valuable work by Edward
Edwards on free town libraries, explaining
their formation according to the best and
most economical plaus---thei methods of
working and their results. This work pro.
poses, in addition, to sct forth succinctly the
history of this class of institutions in Great
Britain, France, Germany, and America.
Golng beyond this specially in the way of
Libraries, large chapter, or part of the
volume, will be devoted to the relative

TO think iD the country, at least, apart from
the great current of thought and action, he
must read.
In every large city there are always
certain recognized centres of literary ac-
tivity, to some of which all have access
according as their tastes, social relations,
or as other circumstances may control.
These, the clubs, special libraries, acade>
mics, bookstores, publishing houses, and
so on, become headquarters for the exs'
change of information and opinion. In
village or country town such facilities CAM
not be looked for There are M special
interests large enough to create them.
One good, free library, we'll established
and under judicious regulations, would
seem TO DC the plan by which the popla"
tions of the smaller or inferior towns could
best supply their literary wants and ap-
proximate to the advantages of the more
favored dwellers in the cities. Such an
institution, at least, would organize and
economize their resources, besides creating
a taste for study and the enjoyment of
literature.

peoples libraries of Germany, present ad.
mirable samples from which to start An
active spirit, the freedom of our laws and

people would soon advance our libraries

GRANTS polio Y.

There seems TO be disposition upon the
part of very many Of our public journals to
predict that there will be lack of harmony
between Gen. Grant and Congress, and
some of them go SO far as to assert that the
incoming President has some very pro-
nounced ideas Of policy, which he is dis
posed to press upon Congress. We hope
so, certainly, but we do not think SO poorly
of General Grant, as to suppose that he
will go beyond his constitutional peroga-
tivesof recommending Congress to do Ger.
tain things, or that he will attempt to con.
troll or dictate the legislation of Congress.
The following noble utterance from him,
made in May last, ought to silence all ap.
prehension and all question of his future
official action. Our readers will readily re
call the circumstances under which they
were written
If elected to the office of President
of the United States, it will be my en-.
deavor to administer all the laws in good

giving peace, quiet and protection every

possible, or at least eminently improper, to
lay down policy to be adhered to, right or
wrong through an administration of four
years. New political issues, not foreseen.

years, with frequent bleedings Of the lungs,
cured himself with medicine unknown to
the profession, when his case appeared hope
less. He is the only physician who has used
it in his own person. or who has any knowledge
of its virtues and he can ascribe the degree
of health he now enjoys to nothing but tn
use Of his medicine; and nothing but utter
despair and entire extinction Of all hope Of
recovery, together with want Of confidence
in all others induced him to hazard the exper-

TURKEY AND GREECE.

Lond on, Jan. 1.-THE indications Of
the first days session Of the Conference on
the Eastern question leave little if any
doubt of ultimate success. The Turkish
government, through its representative,
consented to maintain the present status
until the close Of the Conference. 1t is
the general impression that but one more
session will be held, and that war between
Turkey and Greece will be obviated.
Constantinople, Jan. 1.-The Sublime
Porte has officially congratulated the peo.

loyalty during the recent crisis.
