John Is AZ ela! EAecUt,da Column
bus TO the Murder OF Charles


YrCoLUMBUs. Oct. 4.-John Barclay
was hauge at noon TO-DAY, in the
County Jail, for tile murder of Char
les F, Garner last October Barclay
when on the scaffold, declared that
he was guilty ofthe horrible crime Of
murder, and was prepared to die, He
warned all to beware of Intoxicating
liquors, and said they had placed
him on murderer's scaffold. After
bidding good-by to all spectators,
his arms and legs were pinioned, the
black cap placed on his head, and in
a second he was swinging in the air.
The body was almost still for sec
ond after the fall of the trap. but
soon vihraled slowly backward and
forward. On being touched by the
surgeon in attends nee, his whole
body shook as If with violent cold.
After ha gihg nearly twelve min ties,
be was declared dead, and was de-
livered To the surgeons.
In.twenty three and a half minutes
after the trap on which John Barclay
stood had fallen, to day, his body
was on the demonstrator's table at
the Startling Medical College, in the
presence OF anumber of physicians
and spectators. The galvanic bat
terry was applied. An application to
the spine caused the subjects eyes 10
open and shut, and the. left arm TO
raise to its lull height and the fing-
ers' TO open and shut rapidly. An
application Of the wire to the face
and neck caused the various muscles
to relax and contract very naturally,
and to the horror of some present,
who really feared the subject was
aboutto be filed with new breath,
and 60 live acain. Several other
equally interesting tests were made,
The surgeons examination after
ward fully proved that Barclays
neck was not broken by the taFl of
the trap, andthat, 5is death was, ,caus-t
ell from aspbyxia, The neck. was
neither frsctured nor distorted
There was a rupture osthe ligameuts
between the first and second civical
vertebfa, with. iaceration, of the yer
| tehral vein. But this did not cause
! death ia this case. There was proba
ably nd respiration after the body
fell flbm the trap The right an'
leftyentricles of the heart were filled
with fluid blood, while ahere was
mirh less than the usual quantity of
blsod in the brain and lungs Five
hours after death the hands were
made to contract by the use of elec-

tend tie cordial invitation to return

been on. very unuise and mistaken
expedition. Yonr snip is thoroughly
played out; the sails are blown to
rags; the masts are broken to stlin-
ters, and the bottom of the darned
OLD thing will soon tall out of it;
wisdom and prudence therefore die
tate that you had better strike for
shore before the whole concern goes
to the bottom of thesea where politi
cal dispalr is eternal.
Instead of entertaining any spirit
of persecution, they freely extend 10
you universal amnesty. There IS no
| bloody chasm between you and the
Republican party, and after all the
| hard things that have been said
on both sides nov that the
smoke of battle IS over, we sec il
plainly that yonr eon.se has beer
such that instead Of injuring the Re
publican cause, you inspired your old
comrades with renewed energy and

we are convinced that for this Hyor
are entitled To debt of lasting graf
itndt, instead of eternal banlsli-
ment. Tie bridge which .sas burn

kWashingtOn's Dog.

Washington, it is stated, was out hunt ing in the Virginia forests, accompanied by his favorite hound Governor. A heavy storm of rain and mist coming up, he lost his way, his powder was rendered useless, and, to add to the perils and in convenience of his situation. he found that he had not his pocket compass with him. In this sorry plight he wandered in circles, as people do who are lost in the bush wet, weary, hungry, for he had no food save wild berries. He was al- most exhausted, when a happy thought occurred to him. Tying his pocket flask and his powder-fask to his dogs tail, he fastened his long sash around the ami malls neck, holding one end in his hand. Then he gave the dog tremendous kick. The animal was so completely surprised at this treatment that he stood for mo- ment paralyzed, then wheeling about he struck bee-line for home. It is curi- ous but un&oubted fact that any sudden alarm or attack will quicken 8 dog's per captive faculties, render more subtle his scent and powerful his memory, and in duce him, like Marco Bozzaris, to strike for his home. So the dog fled, and
 Washington followed desperately, over stumps, through bogs, into briars, until finally the sash gave way. With one tre- mendous yell Washington scared still further the frantic animal, the terrible banging and clattering of the fiasks at his heels added to his speed, and in a moment he was out sight. After ahearty laugh at the incident, Washington leis- urely marched in the direction the dog had taken, It was easy to do so by ob- serving the messy side of the trees, the direction of the longer branches, and the other signs with which an experienced hunter is acquainted. It was not long, therefore, before he reached a clearing and was once more in safety. But, he adds, the dog, once faithfully attached tc him, could not to the day of its death endure his presence or even hear his voice without relapsing into an agony o1 terror.-Parton's Lye of Washington.

How to Speak to Children.

It is usual to attempt the management of children either by corporeal punish
 ment, or by rewards addressed to the senses, and by words alone. There is one other means of government, the power and importance of which are seldom re- garded-I refer to the human voice. A blow may be inflicted on child, accom- panied with words so uttered as to coun- teract entirely its intended effect or the parent may use language quite objection able in itself, yet spoken in tone which more than defeats its influence. What is it that lulls the infant to repose It is an array of mere words. There is no charm to the untaught one, in letters, syllables and sentences. It is the sound which strikes it's little ear that sooths and composes it to sleep. A few notes, however unskillfully arranged, if but read in soft tone, are found to possess a magic influence. Think we that this in- fuence, is confined to the cradle No it is diffused over age, and ceases not while the child remains under the paren. tai roof. Is the boy growing rude in manner, and boisterous in speech ] know no instrument so sure to control these tendencies as the gentle tones o1 a mother. She who speaks to her son harshly does but give to his conduct the sanction of her own example. She pours oil on the already raging flame. In the presence of duty we are liable to utter ourselves harshly to children. Perhaps threat is expressed in a loud and irritating tone instead of allayine the passions of the child, it serves directly to increase them. Every fretful expres
 sion awakens in him the same spirit which produced it. So does pleasant voice call up agreeable feelings. Whateve, disposition, therefore, we would encour
 age in Q child, the same we should man, ifest in the tone in which we address it.

SCHOOL TEACHING. item is going the rounds of the exchanges, stating that a woman school teacher in Utica, Wisconsin, allows the pupils five minutes to go out and see the railway train when it passes. This is sensible teacher. In old times the windows of school houses were built so high as to prevent the little prisoners from looking out, and an ele- phant might pass by and the little urchins be compelled to keep their eyes on their books, lest they might, through the open door, catch glimpse of the animal. No wonder boys and girls came to hate school hours, and to look upon them as the darkest of the twenty-four. That woman teacher in Wisconsin is sound in her head she favors object
 teaching" she would give a recess were a menagerie to pass or circus band to go by, and the children would study all the harder for the indulgence.

DIscHARaINa DUTY.-A story IS told of the Grand Duke Alexis, who is in the na- val service. A year or two ago, when holding the rank of midshipman, the flagship in which he was serving was wrecked on the coast of Denmark. The admiral ordered the life boats to be low cred, and directed Alexis to take charge of the first boat. The royal midshipman declined to obey the order. It was per emptorily repeated "I, your command ing officer, order you into the boat"
 Admiral, can not obey you" said the young prince. "It would not become the son of the emperor to be the first to leave the ship. shall remain'with you to the last. ' E.. 5..G7 :, asa su ..
 "But I shall put. you under arrest for disooedience of orders as soon as circum- stances will allow me to do so."
 "I mean no .disobedience, but I can not obey" was the reply. .'" e~'''-
 Four or five of the crew perished in the transit from the ship to shore, and the admiral and Alexis were the last to land. In hastily constructed tents the rigid discipline of ship life was promptly resumed. The young prince was placed under arrest for disobedience of orders. The Russian minister at Copenhagen was informed of the facts, and telegraph ed then to the emperor, from whom he received the following reply, 1T approve the act of the admiral in placing the midshiprnan under arrest for disobedi- ence of orders and I bless and kiss my son for disobeying them." bi'.. ..eY..a

 But dropping bend of the neck instead; No ringing laugh, and no dancing feet, No subtle wiles, and abandon sweet,
 jewels costly, no garments fine She is Nobodys Darlng-but minel
 No " Dolly Warden coquettish airs; Nohigh-heeled boots to throw her down stairs; No yachting jacket and nautical style, With sailors hat that she calls her "tile. But Lady is stamped on her quiot brow; And she crept in my heart can't tell how; Not made to dazzle-not born to shine Nobody's-Nobody's Darling-but minel No saucy, ravishing, girlish grace,
 But settled calm on the sweet pale face; No sparkling chatter and repartee;
 Very silent and still is she. White and still is my pearl of pearls, Yet to me she seemeth the queen of girls; Why love her can't define, For she's nobody's-Nobody'a Darling but
 miuel
 Were riches hers, or beauty rare, --- .s She wouldlo lose her charm and become less fair: Were rings to shine on those fingers small, They could not add to their grace at all ~' She would learn to smile and speak by rule, In the foolish book of Dame Fashions school And the world to spoil her would soon combine Now she's Nobody's Darling mine | The day has come when the cooing dove Groons to his mate song of love,
 When nature stirs, and the copses ring, . In all the joyance of dawning Spring. The day has come when dare to speak, To watch the blush on the once pale check. To whisper low cn Saint Valentine, "Darlingl Nobody's Darling but mine!"
