How They Punish Rebels in
aNanam.

A letter from Yokohama, Japan, states:-
On the 9th of September nine Japanese
rebels were executed, eight of them by being
beheaded with the sword, and the leader by
crucifxion. This last was tall man, exceed
ingly pallid, looking more like ghost than
living man. He was bound to cross, with
his legs spread far apart and between them
was placed stick of wood, on which the
body had torturing support. A cord round
the neck tied the body to the cross, and the
upper and forearms were also bound tightly
to it. This being done, he remained hanging
for half an hour, during which he was
obliged to witness the beheading of his eight
companions, one after the other.
After beholding the scene, and the washing
and combing of the heads which were struck
upon poles, he was pierced in the side with
spear, so that large stream of blood flowed
from the wound. His countenance became
horribly distorted, and shortly after he re-
ceived another thrust in the other side. He
bit into the rope around his neck in the agony
of his suffering, and died in this position at
last. just before he drew his last breath he
was pierced again in the bowels with hook
lance, and the intestines drawn out. You
cannot imagine the horrible spectacle and the
fearful contortions of the whole body. 1t
seemed as if 1 received the thrust myself
He was left hanging there the whole day, as
warning example to everybody. The Japa-
nese look upon all this with the greatest in
difference.

ssHEorribIe! Most Horrible -,

The following strange story about Boston
comes to us from the other side of the Allan
tic. We never heard it before, but then
many queer things happen in Boston that we
never hear of, and we give this curious affair
as we find it narrated in the Pal Mall Gazette
without vouching for its correctness. The
Gazette says -
One of our contemporaries has been made
very, and we think unnecessarily, uncom-
Portable by strange story, which, it says,
has come to it from Boston, Massachusetts.
A young lady in that town, being refused by
her parents permission to go 10 a ball with
her lover, was ill-advised enough to say
that she would ego with the Devil
himself" Unfortunately she was
taken at her word. Some one,
supposed to be the Devil, but disguised as
her lover, accompanied her to the entertain
ment, danced with her, took her to supper,
escorted her home, and gave her a small
pearl-handled penknife, telling her whenever
she used it to think of him. All this time
her real lover was fast asleep in bed and this
fact, when brought to her knowledge, affected
her so profoundly that she destroyed herself
with the little knife which had come from the
Devils waistcoat pocket Our contemporary
says it can hardly tell what to make of the
story, but it has mo reason to believe it is q
pure fiction" Whether it is true or not, it
will or ought to make young ladies in future
more cautious in their languages nor is it half
so strange or horrible as an event which is
stated to have occurred at a country ball in
England few years ago, which we have ''no
reason to believe" is pure fiction. young
lady being blamed by her mother for refusing
to dance with a gentleman possessing vast
wealth, but who was personally disagreeable
to her, remarked that ''she would as soon
dance with the Devil" She had hardly uttered
the words when a gentleman clothed in
black stood before her and offered her his
arm. With a reproachful glance at her
mother, which the latter never forgot, she
accepted the invitation of the stranger, with
whom she commenced to waltz. The other
couples, by some strange instinct, ceased
dancing, and all eyes in the room were turned
ON the younglady and dhermysterious partner as
faster and faster they whirled to the sound OF
the music-still faster-until they almost be.
came invisible in their unnatural activity.
Then came noise like q clap of thunder, then
a sulphureous smell; the gentleman in black
was missing, and the young lady lay dead on
the floor. What to make of this story we can
hardly tell; indeed, we have some scruple
about telling it at all, for fear it should make
our contemporary even more nervous thar

half deep and yard wide is dug in the
ground. The hole is lined with stones, and
then in the midst of them great fire is lit.
When the wood is burned down little and
glows with heat it is covered with more
stones. The man is then cleaned ont and
divided into pieces about foot long, the
less. The pieces of the man are placed on
the leaves of a large rose tree peculiar to the
tropics. The meat is surrounded with cocoa
nut, banana, and some other plants noted for
their delicious flavor. The whole is tied
together firmly; the fire is then removed from
the pit, the meat is placed among the hot
stones, and thus, carefully covered, is left to
cook for an hour. Women don't partake of
the warriors feast. Men alone are permitted
to enjoy so great an honor and so rare deli

CoIGax and Nurs. Mcfarland.

The first man that Mcfarland became
jealous of was not Albert d. Richardson.
Richardson was, undoubtedly, an after appre-
hension to him. The first was one who be-
came an object of suspicion to the husband
in this wise Mrs. Sinclair playfully told
Mcfarland one spring evening in 1866 that
Abby had run round to her house, and had
bade long goodby at the door to
gentleman, and that Abby had told her
that she wouldn't have Dan know it
for the world, because that gentleman
was very fond of her. Mrs. Sinclair
told Mr.. Mcfarland to look out--told him so
in play. He did look out in earnest, and
found that gentleman to be Speaker Colfax,
now Vice-President of the United States, in
whose Indiana home last year Mrs. McFar-
land remained while she was prosecuting her
Western wildcat divorce. 1t is not believed,
however, by any one properly acquainted
with Mr. Colfax, that there ever was anything
between him ard Mrs Mcfarland. Such sins
ore not Colfax's sins. By coldness, if not by
character he is continent, and he was merely
made much of by woman who was rapidly
expanding to the powers of admiration from
distinguished men. That was all there was of
it.-Br0Oklg7l EagLe.

George sand ON Eurente.

George Sands new romance, 'Malgretout,"
now running in Paris journal, has one
character whom all Paris declares to be
Eugene. 1t is on this account, the picture
being somewhat fattering, that the Empress
proposes Nine. Dudevant for the vacant
Academy chair. Here is the autobiographic
soliloquy of the character
81 mean to marry man rich young, and
handsome, who shall be madly in love with
me. He must ever remain subject to my in
fluences, and he must bear with honor an
illustrious name. He must, moreover, pos
sess power he must be king, an emperor.
or at least an heir presumptive or reigning
prince. All my care will be directed hence
forward to find him out, and when have
discovered him l am sure to take possession
of him, for my education is now complete. 1
have no fear of being captivated myself, for
have now acquired all that was wanting in
my early teaching. 1 have studied; pos
sess erudition and political science; / know
the histories of dynasties and peoples. L
know the secrets of diplomacy and all the
naivetes of every sort of ambition. know
all the men of note, all the women of power
in the past and in the present. 1 have taken
the exact measure of all of them, and fear
none. The day will come when 1 can be as
useful to q sovereign as / could be to-day to a
woman who might ask my advice about her
dress. / seem to attach great importance to
trifes but people little guess what serious
thoughts occupy my mind; they will know it
later, when am queen, czarina, grand
duchess. Lastly, I intend, after
having played brilliant part in the world, to
shine forever in history. Twill not disappear,
like any common actress, at the same time
as my youth and my beauty; I will wear a
crown on my white hair. A woman is always
beautiful who can dazzle men with the
splendor of a crown. l am eager for great
struggles or great perils; even the scaffold has
a strange fascination for me. l will never
accept exile; will never resort to fight;
will never be caught or brought back on the
road of Varennes; will not lose my senses in
the midst of disasters; 1 will have the most
tragic destiny, and fight face to face with the
popular lion; I will not quail before him,
and more than once will chain him at my
feet. If, after all, the populace grows
angry, if it wearies, it may carry my head
on pike. SO be it! That it will be the day
of supreme splendor, and my pale head,
doubly crowned by martyrdom, will remain
forever stamped in the memory of mankind.

SENATOR MOTION, of Indiana. made a
very radical speech on the Georgia bill in
the Senate Thursday, the tenor of which
was that Georgia not alone needed recon
structiAn, but that the condition of af-
fairs in the South generally was such as
TO warrant Congress taking hold of most
of the other States with strong hand.
he favored giving the President the pow
er to send troops to any portion of the
South to suppress disorders and preserve
the peace without waiting for the Cover
nor or the Legislature to call, according to
the present procedure in force, on the Ex-
ecutive for military power to suppress
instruction. A Washington dispatch says
1t is pretty well understood that this extra
ordinary speech reflects the views
of the President, who has within a
few days declared that the Rebels had
deceived him, and that he should not
carry out his recently expressed intention
of sending special message to Congress
recommending genera. amnesty. At the
same time, however, the President is rep
resented by his friends to be opposed to
delaying further the admission of Georgia,

struction should be closed up. lie is
willing to keep the DISTINGUISHED on pro-
baton, but opposed to keeping the whole

Infection in the Air.

Experimental chemists have repeatedly analysed
tecting the invisible virus which produces cpl
demic disease. They have not yet discovered it,
and scarcely any two Of them agree as to its ma
ture. This is of little conseq uence. 1t is sufficient
to know that this poisonous principle exists, and
that safeguard against its insidious influence has
been provided. In the spring and early summer,
when fever and ague, remittent fever, and other
periodical diseases Of that class are prevalent it is
only necessary to fortify the system with course
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to escape them. II
this precaution has been neglected which i. never
ought to be in any district liable to such vistations
and if the paroxysms of malarious fever have ac-
tualy commenced, they may always be checked
and broken up by course of that powerful Yege-
table tonic and Alternative. Quinine was once con-
sidered the only specific for chills and fevers but
it is now generally admitted that this nauseous al
kaloid is dangerous medicine, and that its secon
dairy effects are more to be dreaded than any form
of intermittent fever. 1t is simply tremendous
astringent. 1t does not touch the dsordered liver
or regulate the bowels, or in any way improve the
condition of the animal fluids. Hostetter's Bitters
on the other hand in addition to being better and
safer tonic than any preparation of quinine, has
balssmlc effect upon the whole system. 1t is
aperient and ambitious, well as directly invigo-
rating, and purites the secretions as well as regu-
lates the secretive organs 1t stimulates the ape
tite, strengthens the stomach, soothes the nerves
promotes heathful perspiration, and induces quiet
sleep. AS a stOmachic it has no rival Cases of in

waiting, cured in few weeks by its regular use
