Death Sentence in Servia.

lnere is no SCaCe IN Europe III WHICH
the barbarous punishment of breaking on
the wheel is inflicted any longer on GRIM
inals of the worst description except in
Serva, one of the semi dependencies Of
Turkey, on the lower Danube. Not long
since whole family was murdered by two
menjwho were arrested by the authorities
Under the torture of the lash one of the
murderers confessed his guilt and i'm
mediately detailed the horrible circum-
stances attending the crime. Both men
were found guilty and sentenced to be
broken by blows from club, which was
done in the presence of an immence con-
course of people. When the two GRIM
inals had been brought on the platform
every stitch of clothing left upon Alexiry
was torn of, and he was firmly tied to
the st. Andrews cross. Until this fatal
moment he had preserved his equanimity
to a most remarkable degree. But now
the executioner drew from green bag a
sort of an iron club. with an iron knob at
its head. The fastened criminal looked
wistfully at the man who was to torture
him, and then put him to death. The
executioner raised the iron club and crash
ed Alexiry's right shoulder. The muir
derer gave shrek, and made desperate
effort to free himself of his fetters. He
struggled desperately in his agony, but
the next blow which the executioner gave
him-on the knee pan-elcited from the
culprit scream of pain that caused the
blood Of the spectators of the dismal scene
to freeze. After the infiction he seemed
insensible, and the other blows that crush
ed his joints, and the finishing strokes on
his belly, were given as to dead man.
Meanwhile, Werthstein, in his chains,
had to look on. He rent the air with his
lamentations, and came near fainting
away when the executioner dealt Alexiry
the first blow, he flung himself to the
floor and begged piteously for his life; but
after the lifeless and mutilated corpse of
Alexiry had been detached from the fatal
St. Andrews cross, he was dragged to it,
and, in spite of his invocation of the Holy
Moses, fastened to it like his accomplice.
He yelled even before he received the
first stroke with the iron club but when
that instrument of torture descended up
on his shoulderjoint he gave an unearthly
scream, and the executioner's blow upon
his knee pan made him howl still worse
For five minutes-an eternity under the
circumstances-he continued his yells,
and it was not until the executioner gave
him three heavy blows on the abdomen
that all was quiet, and Servian justice
was satisfied.

ASK THE PRioE.-A Salem lady says it
is always safe, when travelling, to inquire
the price of an article before deciding to
purchase. She bases this opinion on the
tact of railroad restaurant taking fifteen
cents for cup of tea from all who didn't
ask the price, and only ten cents from
those who did.

There is so much of weeping and then
forgetting, that use may be made of

other the moon. Around these devices
is a wreath, one side composed Of chrysan-
themum leaves and the other "kiri'' leaves.
The diverse or face of the coin has IN the

Drnmntfcs at the Sensible.

We are net certain that it would not
prove profitable speculation for some en-
terprising theatrical manager to procure a
trst-class company, improvise a theatrical
edifce, and, during the summer season,
give a series of dramatic entertainments
at Mississippi City, and depend upon the
guests at Barnes Hotel for patronage to
sustain the drama.
Such might have been the idea Of a volun-
teer corps from the Shakespeare Club,
when they determined on bringing out to-
morrow evening at this popular seaside no.
tel the comedy of the Laughing Hyena,"
with Miss Blanche DeBar ami Mrs. G. G.
Pearce in the cast. We are not advised as
to the shakespeare" whose names will
appear in the bill, but we have the assur-
ance of the past that the distribution of
characters has been selected with great
care, and that they will bring out this com
edy in a highly satisfactory manner.
A grand ball will be given after the per-
formance, and the guests of Barnes Hotel
will be sure to enjoy themselves. Passen-
gers may leave on the train that departs
from the Canal street depot Of the New Or
leans, Mobile and Texas railroad al twenty
minutes past five o'clock Monday evening;
ask the conductor to let them off at the
hotel station, and be there in season tor the
dramatic entertainment as well as the ball,
bat if they go earlier they will get still
greater enjoyment.
Barnes Hotel is the most perfect estab-
HshmeDt of its nature in the South, as the
rooms are spacious, airy and comfortable,
the table is abundantly supplied with sub
stantials and delicacies, and the advantages
for sea bathing are superior. Fish dinners,
fish suppers and fish breakfasts, and oys-
tiers fresh from the sea.

A Grateful Shower.

The heat was intense yesterday. In,
women and children were seeking cool
places to escape from lis oppressiveness.
Poultry yards presented an aspect of weari-
ness and dizziness. The mules and horses
on the street cars and attached to vehicles
of pleasure and transportation looked as
though the heat had stricken through them.
Threatening clouds betokened rain, but
hour after hour it did not come, till at
length, shortly before six o'clock, all nature,
animate and inanimate, was refreshed by a
most grateful shower. Ducklings il the
poultry yards and chickens as well stood
quietly to let the ran descend upon them,
and they seemed to enjoy the novelty of a
shower after hours of uncomfortable heat

Another Greeley and Brown Club.

The ball still rolls, aud, contrary to the
old adage, it gathers moss every day. Last
night spirited meeting was held at No. 93
St. Charles street, and new Greeley and
Brown club organized for the third ward.'
Some difficulty occurred in the choice Of
a title for the club, as the members present
represented every political party in tie
State, but all was finally settled by a com
promise which is worthy of imitation by
those who hold higher rank in the political
destinies of the State. The name adopted
covered the whole ground: Regular
Democratic, Republican, Radical Reform
and Liberal Auxiliary Independent Greeley
and Brown Club of the third ward
The following officers were elected: Pres
ident, A. S. Beck; first wee president,
Thomas North; second vice president, Sam
uel King; third vice president Robert
COusley; secretary. A 7. Turner; treasurer,
William Mclaughlin; grand marshal J..
BoutOn; sergeant-at-arms, }. CAMS.
1t was resolved that the grand marshal
should appoint his own assistants, and that
they should be furnished with mules at the
expense of the club.
A general invitation to all members of
clubs in the city OF CarrolItonOr right bank
favorable to the cause, was unanimously
extended to attend the next meeting, on
Thursday evening next, at No. 50 St. Charles
street, the press gang" being particularly
requested to be on hand.
Some humorous resolutions followed,
when the club adjourned after most har-
mOniOus meeting.

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.

People of New Orleans who pay FIVE
eighths Of the State taxes, see to it. Im-
poverished people of the country parishes,
see to it. The holders of State bonds,
at home and abroad, see TO it..
It might be suggestively added see
to what? See that the rotten hulks
Of a past political power don't cum
Der the way; see that the voice of the
people, chained down by those who do
none of the voting and all of the grOwl
ing. and who are in the first rank to get
fat office. TO which their interest does not
entitle them, see to it that these public de-
mOralizers have no chance at the bellows,
no finger in the pie again. The State IN
debtedness has not been increased one cent
by II. C. WarmOth. On the contrary, vii
lainy in the Legislature, by which the debt
could be increased, was killed off by the
$4,000. 900 amendment, suggested by Gov
eruor WarmOth, who has destroyed by his
veto more jobs than ever have passed. The
State debt is but $4,000 900, all told. See
70 it. The State taxes are levied to pay the
interest of the bonded debt, and we say.

NV Orl, ans July u, 1872. :
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
In the issue Of the Picayiile of the TWEEN
ty-ffth instant, it reports the meeting OF
the Greeley Guards Liberal Club, the pre-
viOus evening, to have been packed by
WarmOth emfssaries, banquette inspec tors,
rowdies, policemen in disguise, etc. The
PicGyVne does our club a great injustice to
attribute its change of name from an indie
pendent to a Liberal club to such an ele-
ment in the meeting. To show that the
result can be attributed to no such cause,
but to the strong tendencies Of IS members
to favor the Liberal cause, we have but to
refer to the original call for the formation of
the club as a Liberal one, and its actual
organization as such, that call having been
signed by John H. CastellanDs, who now
figures so cOnspicuously as a Last Dtcher.
We, the undersigned, can truly certify
that in our club of l2J men, and its mum
beers still increasing, there is not single
Oftice-holder of any description, and we are
well aware that there is no member who
belongs to any Of the classes named in the
Picayune article. With one or two excep-
tons, we have failed to observe any but
members of the club present at its meet
iDgs. Very respectfully, Z. J. Dupaq uier,
chairman; H. r. Mcdonnell, +. Otto, j.

at work in this city since his return from
Baton Rouge in an honest and honorable
employment, and that he has not organized
and is not organizing a mob of garotters,
but is endeavoring to lead an honest life,
earning his daily support by honorable in
dustry, which be is confident he can con-
time to do if he is Hotpersecuted for what
he has done in the past. We give him the
benefit of his statement, and if it is correct
will most eheerfully aid to sustain him in
the paths Of industry, honesty aud virtue.

THE FIRST WARD IMBRoGLIO.-Yesterday
an affidavit was made before Recorder
Houston against the following named pO-
lice officers for the stabbing of Anderson
and Strouder: D. Shannon, H. Campbell, R.
Cheevers, E. Sherman, L. Herman, H. Con
nors and j. Moore. This is pronounced
to be a very singular proceeding on the part
of the friends of the wounded men, since
most of these officers were on duty on their
beats far away from the scene of the dis
turbance, and only came on the ground in
response to a police call for assistance.
Superintendent Badger is giving the whole
affair his careful attention. and it is said
that, while these patrolmen will be entirely
exonerated, others, higher up in police
rank, may be involved.

A gentleman reports to the police that on
Friday night he was, III the concert saloon
of Julias Socha, corner Of Chartres and
Cont streets, robbed Of a gold chain, fer
which he offers fifty dollars reward. Items
of this nature are frequent on the police
record, since establishments of this kind
are running in violation of all law, under
the protection OF the Administrator Of
police, and this in such a manner as to pre-
vent the Metropolitan Police from mterfer-
ing with them. Captain Malone, of the
