The Lash i'm Canada.

The Toronto Telegraph gives de-
scription Of the fogging, in the prison
ward, of man named Charles John>
son, recently convicted of an attempt
to commit rape The young man was
pinioned IN post in one part of the
yard, aud aud the flogger, dark, sinister
looking man, took his position, and at
the orders given by the sheriff, he
brought the lash down upon the bare
back of the prisoner, each stroke being
followed by quick jerk, and it vas
piled with considerable vigor. At the
fifth lash the blood began TO swell up,
the skin to blister and the sufferer to
writhe. At the twelfth stroke the
sheriff paused, apparently regarding
the punishment as severe, but resumed
in moment; and the remainder of the
strokes were delivered with less force
and precision. Their effect, however
was sufficiently painful, as was testified
by the writings and contortions OF the
sufferer, aud tear or two which welled
up despite his desperate efforts to re-
strain them. The means which seemed
tc be starting to his lips as each success.
siye lash fayed his back into a dark
hue, were stifed to the end with dog
.ed courage, and there seems TO be an
iron obs,iuscy 10 the lad, which, If not
properly directed in the future. will
probably lead him to a punishment
more ignobie and fatal.
The lash was welded by the fogger
with rare skill, Tor though the strokes
were powerful enough under the cir
| cnmstances, they were given with an
in ensity of will which was to consid

them were little better than tieklers

From q correspondence in the London Times.
1t may interest your readers to know
that the Americans have commenced
the reconstruction of their navy, IN
doing which they seem TO be fully alive to
the fact that torpedoes will in all prob
ability become the principal and main
naval weapon of the future, whether
used offensively or defensiveIy, whether
by vessels designed for cruising or for
liarhor defense. This fact Cannot be
too forcibly borne in mind by US, who
confidently rely on heavy guns and
armored vessels designed for an artil>
lery encounter, and not constructed so
as best to manipulate and fight the tor>
pedo. Naval authorities In the United
States appeai unanimously to bold the
opinioo that the torpedo will be the
chief naval weapon of the future. Not
only Ia it an opinion, but it is being
acted upon with greet energy.
A "school of torpedoing" has
been formed at Newport, Rhode Island,

of torpedoes 10 suitable and purpose,

through the class at once, when they
enter into all the details of tcrpedoing
theoretically and practically, just as the
advanced class of artillery officers at
Shoeburyness enter into the details
appertaining to gunnery. The course
lasts several months, and the officers
have the great advantage of seeing and
taking part 10 the numerous torpedo
experiments which are constantly going
on there during the mild weather. Sc
much for education.

navy now carries, besides a number oi
towing torpedoes, an arrangement
whereby torpedo containing LITTLE
over one hundred pounds of powder can
be doomed out some twenty.four feet ia

The Perils OF shaving.

A worthy citizen undertook to trim
his whiskers, a short time since, and by
slip of the scissors spoiled the cut.
He trimmed little more, and still it
would look lopsiied; so he went to the
barber and nt.shaYed, for the frst time
for twelve years. He was very busy
and business detained him in his Office
until a late hour of the night, and
when he went home be found that his
family bad retired. This was not an
unusual occurrence, so he silently en-
tered by means of q pass key, sought
his own room, and undrcssed without
lighting tho gas He got partly into
bed, when his wife astouished him by
uttering a loud and prolonged scream
He was very much alarmed for her,
and feared she had lost her reason. He
implored her to tell him what was the
matter.
At the sound of bis voice she
screamed ; 'Oh Edward, come quick
and save me.

only screamed the louder at the words.

has just come to light in the French
papers Pending the first siege of
Paris, two French officers had quarrel,
aud duel was decided upon. The
conditions were left to the colonel. He
ordered both to march right to the
encmy's outpost, killing as many Prus.
SLAMS as they could the survivor OF
the two was to return. Soon one OF
the antagonists was shot, and the other
carried the boay back to camp.

another and longer cast iron tube. car
rying the torpedo, which can pass thro'
the first tube on to its outer extremity.
The whole apparatus is entirely hidden
from the view of the enemy, who can>
not, therefore, from the appearance of
the vessel, divine her dangerous charac-
ter. A minute description of these
tubular out>riggers will be sent to the
proper authorities. 1t is asserted that
four torpedoes can be thrust out and
fired per minute. These tugs are only
intended for use during the night, as
their engines and boilers are much ex-
posed, and single shot would be al
most certain to disable them. These,
as well as the other out.rigger torpe-
does, are fred by an electrical fuse and
small frictioual machine
The United States Government are
SO well satisfied with the torpedo ex-
periments and their results that three
special torpedo vessels have quite re-
Gently been commenced-one at the
Boston navy yard, one at New York,
and one in Southern navy yard. The
Boston torpedo vessel is to have a
length of IT'S feet; beam 35, and free
board eight or nine feet; she is to be
protected to a certain extent with iron,
and great stress is laid on her speed,
which it is hoped will exceed sixteen
knots. l will not apologize for tres

there is the making of dwarfs and beg

is taken, aud then heavy porcelain
vase is put over him 30 that the head
alone is free. With On unexpected
consideration for the prospective dwarf's
feelings, ths vase is remosnd at night
SO that lie may sleep (the child, not the
vqse). but both are restored to their
former relationship 10 the morning The
child thus advances in age in his infiex-
ible mould until he can no longer grow

of making the beggars is more compli-
