Neatness and Despatch.

The execution of criminals in Japan
is performed with neatness and des-
patch in remarkable contrast to the
bungIing scaffold work so often per-
formed in this country. An official asks
the culprit if he is ready, and he calmly
replies. One of the assistants slits the
dress at the back of the neck and turn
it back over the shoulders, leaving the
neck and upper portion of the back
bare. He then pours little water on
the neck, and the eXecutioner takes the
dipper and pours water along the blade
of the sword, also wetting the linen
wrapped around the handle, so as to SO.

moves to the left of the prisoner, who

CurIosities of American History.

American political history is full Of
curious and singular incidents. For in
stance: Three Of our Presidents, all Of
whom participated in the revolution,
died on its great anniversary, the
Fourth of July--namely John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe.
or the first six Presidents, four of
them were taken from the Office of Sec.
retary of State, and the other two, be-
ing first elected, could not perform its
duties. From this fact arose the pre-.
cedent that makes the 5 Secretary Of
State the first officer in the Cabinet In.
stead of the Secretary of the Treasury,
which is the case in Great Britain.
No less than five of the greatest
American statesmen were born In the
same year-l7l2: Daniel Webster, John
G. Calhoun, Thomas II. Benton, Martin
VanBuren and Lewis CasS. FROM 1900
to 1865 only two persons filled the Office
of Chief Justice of the United States
john Marshall and r ger b. Taney.
The capitol of the United States was
located at Washington, in pursuance Of
ii corrupt bargain, by which two or
three members Of Congress, who lived
adjacent to it, and whose districts
would be greatly benefited by it, voted
TOR the funding of the national debt for
that purpose.
But two men in the United States
have, as they say in Odd Fellowship,
gone through the "chairs," been Gov.
ernOr of State, held first class foreign
mission, been the head of the Cabinet,
the Vice President, and President.
Their names are Thomas Jefferson and
Martin VanBuren.
Three Presidents died in otiice-Har-
rison, Taylor and Lincoln.
Three persons were elected Vice Pros.
idant before they came to be President
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and
Martin VauBurcn.
Three Vice Presidents died in Office
George Clinton, Elbridge Gerry and
Wm. r. King.
Three Vice Presidents became Presi-
dents by the death of their chiefs john
Tyler, Millard Fillmore and Andrew
JOhnson-and every one of them pur-
sued policy adverse to that of the
party by which they were elected

EsOsitenesE.

Somebody says, and says truly, that
there are few families anywhere in
which love is not abused as furnishing
the license for impoliteness. \ husband,
father or brother will speak harsh words
to those he love. best, simply because
the secrecy Of love and family pride
keep him from getting his head broken.
1t is a shame that man will speak
more impoliteiy at times 10 his wife or
sister than he would to any other wo-
man. 1t is thus that the honest afiiec
tiOns Of mans nature prove to be a
weaker protection 10 a woman in fam
ily circle than the restraints of society,
and that a woman is usually indebted
for the kindest politeness oflife to those
belonging to her own household. These
things ought not to be 50. The man
who, because it will not be resented,
inflicts his spleen and bad temper upon
those of his hearthstOne, is a small
coward and very mean man. Kind
words are circulating mediums between
true gentlemen and ladies at home, and
no polish exhibited in society can atone
for the harsh language aud disrespect-
ful treatment too often INDUCED in be.
tween those bound together by Gods
own ties of blood and the most sacred
bonds of conjugal love.-H0me Guard,

The Equipment Of tho Prussian

In everything the equipment of the

tally of the Prussian portion, is super

well planned knapsack in undressed
calfskin. His fatigue cap is fiat, border
ed with red. He has an undreSs uni

white pants. The pockets and folds of
his clothing are so managed that he can
carry numberless little things for camp
use. When he bivouacS, he plants his
gun against his bayonets, put his side

with his helmet. l have seen ten thous-

had made his influence so magical with
all who came In contact with him, and
had even caused every private in the
ranks to feel himself the friend and
comrade of the little corporal. His
whole life was now occupied In militia
ry studies; when not occupied In field
manoeuvering he was poring over vol.
ume after volume of instructions in
the art of war.
AT this time exhibited no signs of
disease, though doubtless the germs of
his fatal malady had already taken root
Soon they began to develop, but he
studiously concealed all signs of distress
or suffering, and peremptorily rejected
all medical advice when his weakness
was at last discovered. His physician
says: "In the spring of 1881 the Prince
entered on his military career. From
that time he rejected all my advice; 1
was only the spectator ofan unmeasur.
ell zeal and unlimited eagerness for his
new pursuits. From that time he
thought he was only to listen to the
passion which dragged on his feeble
body through privations and labors en-
tirely beyond his strength. He would
have thought it disgraceful and cow
ardly to complain when under arms. I
could not induce him TO try again the
muriatic baths and mineral waters that
had been SO useful TO him the year be-
fore. He had not time, he said. Sew
eral times l found him in his barracks
overcome with fatigue. His life was
then wasting away. He slept scarcely
four hours he ate hardly anything ;
his whole existence was centered in
riding and military exercises. He re.
fused all rest, and to my questions al
ways answered, I am perfectly well.'"
1t is needless to say more ; his death
now became only question of very
short time. On the 22d of July, 1882,
he expired without a struggle, in the
same chamber formerly occupied by
his great father, in the same place
where, for the last time debating peace
as q victor, Napoleon had slept amid
dreams of further glory, promising
himself glorious marriage and the
perpetuity of his dynasty.
One solemn reflection follows on this
premature death. What We're the Sc
cret and hidden thoughts of this young
prince, to what end this mad pursuit
after military knowledge, that were
his hopes in the future? Did his soul
burn for his own personal glory and
grasp of empire, or had he consecrated
his life to signal and fearful revenge
| on those who had cast such deep and
bitter indignitieS on the last years OF
his illustrious father? Death gives no
answer to these pregnant questions,
but we'll may it be further asked, was
the sorrowful and early fate of the Duke
de Reichstadt all a misfortune? Was il
not rather a great mercy vouchsafed
from on high not only to humanity ,bu
even to the restless and craving spiri,
Of the youthful prince himself?
