What Bcfcll French Butcher Boy
Extraordinary Experience.

The eXI cricnCeS of Il pork butcher
shop.hoy, named BroChe, who has ust
been tried by court martial at ersailles,
are well worth a passing record. On
the outbreak of the Communal insur-
rcction. he was taken-much against
his will-from the sale OF sausagcs to
serve in Federal battalion of National
Guards at Neuilly. Here he incurred
the i'll will of his comrades by his re.
tusal to accept the rank of Captain. He
was accor iingly tried and sentenced to
ice shot. The men intrustcd with his
execution decided, 10y way of change,
perhaps. 10 hang the unfortunate
Brochc, instead of shooting him, and
he was accordingly launched into space
from first floor window. He contrIvcd,
however, to cling to the wall. and so to
avoid total strangulation, until cut down
10y some men OF another battalion, who
took pity on him and disapproved of
the unmilitary mode of execution
adopted. Broche. however, only re
manned two days with his new friends.
AT the end Of that time he attempted
to escape, but was SO closely pursued
that he jumped into the Seine and
swami to the bank occupied 10y the Yer
saillea troops, who Hospitality received
him with IL hailatorm OF balls, one OF
winch struck him in the leg. Being
taken before a coult-martial OF officers
OF the regular army, his protes tation@ OF
innocence were disbelieved, and lie was
condemned for II second time to be shot.
The eXecutioners OF NJ. Timers. how ever,
did not ito their work any better than
those of the Commune, for though duly

with two flesh wounds and hrok en-
arm. He was hidden and nursed by an
inhabitant of PutcauX, where he had
been shot, and when the Commune fell
was again arrested and taken to Yer
sailles, where he appears to have passed
the last eight months in prison. Being
tried short time since for the thilo

Capt Black then went, and in half an

of the town, named Turner, stepped up
to Black to proven: blood-shed, ana
Black shot him dead on the spot. Black
then prepared for another shot, and the
son of the intended victim stepped be

prepared for the father, but before ne
could shoot was knocked down with a

The Doctrine of Signatures,

During the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries the belief in the doctrine of
signatures was nj its zenith 1t rested
on the idea that plants possessed some
visible trait, mark or signature which in
Dictated their fitness to be used for the
cure of diseases i'll certain parts of the
body. The walnut, for example, was re.
garded as presenting a perfect signature
OF the head, the outer musk or green
covering representing the pcricranium
or outer skin of the skull; therefore
preparations of this were used in treat
ing wounds of the scalp. The inner
hard she'll its thin yellow skin, and the
kernel, in their turn representing the
bones of the skull, the dura mater, and
the substance of the brain, were highly
esteemed in the treatment of diseases of
each OF these parts.
In like manner plth OF elder, since it
pits when pressed on, as do the legs of e
dropslcal person, was used in treating
dropsy. And to illustrate by a few quo
trtlons from "A work on this curious
subject" I.ady's thistle has many
pricklcs, hence it is used in stitches of
the side. The scales of pine cones re
sembe the front teeth, hence when
boiled in vinegar they make garglc
which soothes the toothache. White

The Journalistic Ouartatte,

1t is but a few years since Clay, Cal
houn, Webster and Benton were looked
upon as the four great national states
men. They are gone. Since then, Ben
nett, Bryant, Greeley and Raymond
were the four acknowledged journalists
OF the Republic. And now this quar-
tette has been sadly broken in upon by
the sudden death of Raymond, some
time since, his career half finished, and
Bennett, of the Hcrold, whose remains
lie in Greenwood Cemetery. Greeley,
too, is temporarily out of journalism, 10y
what may be termed the eXigency of
politics. The poet Of Roslyn, William
Cullen Bryant, alone remains at the
Post. Rich i'll years, experience, poetry,
and politics, he still trequents his old
haunts, the only remaining one of the
four whose ready pens daily shook the
world of thought, and made and UNI
