How tO stop Capital Punishment
From the New York Post.

A few more such executions as that of
Bonner and Bodenberg, at Huntingdon,
Penn, last Wednesday, will speedily put
an end to capital punishment, for the rea
son that thev are not so much summary
executions as they are shameful public ex-
hibitions To be sure, as the law directs
in Pennsylvania, as well as in most of the
other states, this execution was private
that is, it was show only for the sheriff
and his forty or more willing deputies,
for sensational newspaper reporters far
and near, and for q 'few friends" of the
officials, meaning all who could get a
ticket admitting them to the crowded
enclosure.
Practically, the execution was as public
as if it had been in the centre of indie
pendence Square, in Philadelphia. Du-
ring two or three days before the hang
ing, thrifty citizens were busy putting up
platforms which overlooked the enclose
ure, and sold standing places on them at
high prices All the roofs and windows
in view were similarly and proftably let.
The owner of barn close by bored nu-
merous auger-holes through the boards,
and each hole was temporarily rented for
a handsome fee to eager eyes.
The gallOws made gala day for the
W hole region roundabout. Every train
dropped carloads of spectators. Early
In the morning wagons from the surround
ing viii lges brought in not only men, but
their wives and daughters these last in
overwhelming numbers and dressed in
their best, as for festival or fair. OF
curse, the citizens of Huntingdon shut
up their shops and houses, and filled the
streets; the hanging and gossip about it
were the sole business of the day.
We do not care TO dwell Upon the de-
tails OF the hanging itself-more than to
mention that, according to the reports,
one of the clergymen displayed fussy
anxiety, which was almost levity, in an
nouncing the programme Of the process
sion, and telling who was to sing, who
was to pray in English who was to pray
i'll German Showing that the prayers
were to be addressed mainly to the audi
tors), and generally acting as master of
ceremonies, or manager of the show It
is painfully noteworthy that one of the
victims, who is descibed as most prepo-
sessing young man,of excellent education,
persisted to the last in protesting his
Innocence. This cannot but excite pity
pity if he told the truth, and tar more
pity If he died with a lie on his lips
The death of these two men concerned
themselves mainly; the manner of it con-
Germs the whole community, the whole
country; and the fact that this, like most
executions-for the private ones seem to
be the most public-was only shocking
show to crafty curiosity which, to US
seems criminal, will be telt as an argu-
ment against capital punishment more
powerful than many pages Of essays. In
fact the best way to stop capital punish
ment would seem to be to let it go on
little longer.

Two Royal BlunderIleads.

The pistol-shot, in duel, of the Duke
de Montpensier, which put an end at
once to the life of Prince de Bourbon
and to his own hopes of succession to
the Spanish throne, has been heard
through the telegraph all round the
world, and has excited ma uraI desire
to know all about these "men of the
time"
The Duke de Montpensier was the
fifth son of Louis Philippe and Marie
Amelie. AT the age Of twenty he was
sent as lieutenant Of artillery to Africa,
where he took part in the Algerine cam
paigns which Vernet has made so mag
nlficent on canvas. He received slight
wound in the face, and promotion with
the cross OF the Legion of Honor, and
afterwards made a tour of the East, on
his return from which he was married
in 1916 to the infant Marie Louise Fer
dinande de Bourbon, the sister Of Queen
Isabella and first cousin of Prince Henri,
whom he has just killed This marriage
was regarded as master stroke of policy
by Louis Philippe, and the excitement
and irritation it caused, it having very
nearly involved France and England in
war, will be long remembered The
Duke accompanied his father and the
rest of the family in their flight tc
England, upon the breaking out of the
revolution of 1848, but shortly afterwards
went to Seville, where he has lived ever
since He received the title of Infant of
Spain, was made Captain General of the
Spanish army October TO- 1859 His
eldest daughter, the Princess Marie
Isabella, was married in 1864 to the
Comte de Paris who. it will be recollecred,
served for time in the staff of General
Mcclellan before Richmond. Since
Queen Isabella was dethroned, the Duke
has been engaged in intrigues for the
crown, though he earnestly protests thai
he has never had an idea of the succe seion.
Not long ago, he was nominated for the
Cortes and sustained by powerful body
Of friends, but did not gain his election.
Prince Henri de Bourbon was the
second son of Francis, brother of Ferdinand
VII, King Of Spain, and was therefore
the brother of Francis d'Assis, the con-
sort of Isabella He held the titles of
Duke of Seville and Infant of Spain. He
was for several years most influential in
the politics of Spain, having been in all
respects the superior of his brother, who
distrusted him, but quarrelled with the
Queen in the matter of her partiality for
Mafori, and in 1867 royal decree de-
priyed him of his rank as Infant and of
his position as Vice-Admiral of the Span
ish fleet.
For some months past bitter feud has
existed between the Duke de Montpen-
sier and himself, and recent insulting
letters of the Prince led to the fatal duel.
The Duke was in the 47th year of his
age, and the Prince in the forty-eighth.

The Power of Words.
From the Western Menthly


The knowledge of words is not an
elegant accomplishment only not a luxury,
but necessity, OF the cultivated man.
1t is necessary not only to him who would
express himself, but to him who would
think, with precision and effect. There
is, indeed, no higher proof of thorough
and accurate culture than the fact that
writer, instead OF employing words loose
ly and at hap-hazard, chooses only those
which are the exact vesture of his thought
AS he only can be called well-dressed
man whose clothes just fit him, being
neither small and shrunken, nor loose and
baggy-so it is the first characteristic of
good style that the words fit close to the
ideas. They will be either too big here
hanging like giants robe on the limbs
OF dwarf,nor too small there, like boys
garments into which man has painful
ly squeezed himself; but will be the exact
correspondents and perfect exponents of
his thought. Between the most synony
nous words careful writer will have
choice for, strictly speaking there are no
synonymous In language, the most close
ly resembling and apparently equivalent
terms having some nice shade of distinc-
tion-a fine illustration of which is found
in Ben Johnson's line, "Men may securely
sin, but safely never;" and again, in The
reply with which Sydney Smith used to
mete the can't about popular education
IN England Pooh, pooh it is the worst
educated country in the worldI grant you;
but it is the best instructed" William
Pitt was remarkable example of this
precision of style. Fox said of him:
Though am myself never at loss for a
word, Pitt has not only word, but the
word-the very word-to express his
meaning" It is related of Robert Hall
that, when he was correcting the proofs
of his sermon on Modern Infidelity'' on
coming to the famous passage, Eternal
God, ON what are thine enemies intent !?
what are those enterprises of guilt and
horror, that, for the safety of their per-
formers, require to be enveloped in a
darkness which the eye of Heaven must
not penetrate?" he exclaimed to his friend
DIR. Gregory: "Penetrate! did say penetrate,
sir when preached it," eyes" "Do YOU
think, sir, l may venture to alter it? for

English language would use word of

"At the close OF the1ast fiscal year, the amouns
OF subscription to the stock Of the Southern Pa.
cifc Railroad was s1soo,ooo, actually paid In
$28o,000. 1t has contracted for the purchase Of
the San Francisco and San Jnan Railroad for the.

next. The Union Pacific Railroad Company's
southern branch, now the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad Company; the Kansas and Ne
osho Valley Railroad Company, and the Leaven-
worth, Lawrence and Port Gibson Railroad Conn
pany, were fully heard in the right Of their re-
spective companies to construct railroads from
the Southern boundary OF Xsnsas through the
Indian Territory.
81 also considered the objections Of the repre-
sentstives Of certain Indian tribes, through
whose lands the projected lines Of road would
pass. After most careful examination,
reached the conclusion that the existing laws
and treaties authorized the construction Of ono
railroad on certain conditions, with which neither
company had then complied. On further hear
ing, it was shown that the first named company
had completed its road to designated point on Z.
that boundary, and hold that 1t. was entitled to
extend Its line through said territory"
