The Gallows.

lHls type Ol DarDarlsm ~ now nL-
fully displayed at the head of some
column in every newspaper in our land
Notwithstanding this fact, the very
next column contains catalogue of
crimes, consisting of cold blooded muir
ders, and minor offences, showing con-
clusively that crime is on the increase
everywhere.
Twelve victims have swung from the
same arm where Fosters neck was
scientifically and legally broken, one
week ago to-day, and this little innocent
diversion has become a sort of pastime
with the sheriffs and under sheriffs of
New York.
Great God. What a reproach upon
so-called christian land! What a re-
buke to the great champions of reform!
Reforml In the name of high heaven,
what is this reform of which we boast?
All. indeed! 1t is but an improve
ment in the art or science of neck
breaking! Yea, in this boosted land
Of christian and political reformation
we find relic of barbarism that would
disgrace the name of barbarism itself.
But we are told that the hand of the
executioDer must not be stayed-that it
must still be often dipped in human
blood to terrify the evil doors. Then
why not make bloody sacrifice? Why
not revive the axe and the execution
block? Why not let the crimson gore
squirt upon the vesture of the execution
er, never TO be washed or cleansed?
Why not keep the smell of blood fresh
upon his garments? And why not let
the same mantle fall upon his success
sors in office as well as usefulness? ,
IT'S time to let this shrine of Moloch
sink-'tis time to fell the scaffold to
the ground, and no longer offend high
heaven aud the throne of God,
by pointing it heaven-ward. Reason
teaches a better philosophy, and hui
manity cries out against it. 1t hath
been said that
''No rogue e'er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion of the law"
This may be true, but we venture the
opinion that no man or woman whose
heart is not callous-yea, impervious to
every feeling of human justice,
''--e'er saw the halter draw,
With good opinion of the law"
or of Its influence upon society. In
stead of preventing crime, it hardens
the criminals heart -cultivates a thirst
for blood, debases man below the level
of the brute, converts saint into
demon. None but heart already fit
for crime can behold such spectacle
with good opinion of the law"
Though the statutes Of Wisconsin
are no longer disgraced by this God
dishonoring, man inhumanizing code,
we are not free from its demoralizing
effects. Every execution in our land
debases society at large. Though the
gallows will never again rear its hydra
head within the limits Of our own fair
state, we must, nevertheless, suffer the
evil consequences Of executions with
out.
We wonder not that convictions for
murder are race, and that hundreds 90
"unwhipt Of justice" The only won.
der is, how any can be convicted. We
wondered not that Daniel Mcfarland
was set free, nor shall we wonder much
to see the bloody hand of Edward
Stokes once more upon pistols hilt.

An Industrious Preacher.

Father Taylor, the great pioneer
Methodist preacher of California, is
notable parsonage. Coming here in
1849, says California letter, he served
seven years as missionary in churches,
meeting the strangest experiences ever
encountered by any herald of the Cos
pei. In 1855 he was burdened with a
church debt of over $50, 200, occasioned
by fire and depreciation of property,
for which he was personally responsible.
He gave up every dollar of his own
estate, and the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company prese nted him tickets for a
passage for himself and family to the
Eastern States. He reached New York
with less than 500 in his pocket, to be-
gin the task of paying that debt, by
writing and publishing books.
In 1869 he paid the uttermost dollar
of it, through his agents, of San Fran
cisco. During that period of thirteen
years, he wrote nearly dozen books,
gave an occasional lecture, preached
twelve or fourteen sermons week, sup
ported his family, and travelled con-
stantly, in our own and foreign lands
No collections are ever taken up fol
him, or donations made-a rule which
he rigidly enforces hence the debt
was paid, and all his own and his fami,
ly's expenses met, from the proceeds OF
the books and lectures alone.
To-day, and for several years, many
men in California have been asking
"Where is Father Taylor ?" He il
now in India, doing missionary work.

Those Empty ings.

You have probably noticed, says the
Danbury Ne,Us, what q thoughtful
woman your wife is. She never forgets
anything, and when she goes down Gel
lar after an article she is sure to bring
up something beside that she may need.
She calls that making her head save
her heels" Once in while she may
neglect something, but that is because
she has so much on her mind she can't
think of everything at once, and if some
people had as much to do and keep
track of as she has, there would be
nothing done at all. After she says
this, it is time you either left or busted
yourself with something else. We
never knew man who continued the
conversation to appear satisfied after
wards. She exhibits this thoughtfulness
in many ways, but more particularly
some night when you have just got to
bed, and neglected to leave match
near the lamp. Then she starts up
with the exclamation "I declare, [
forgot to set emptings tonight, and
there isn't only bread enough for break
fast" So you get up, and skim around
for match, and after securing q light
accompany her to the kitchen, where
you hold the light while she goes through
with the operations required in setting
emptyings." And after you have stood
around in your bare legs for ten min
utes, holding the lamp in one hand and
frequently slapping yourself with the
other, you go back to bed oppressed by
the consciousness that in some way you
are responsible for the whole trouble.

Coal and Iron,

The following statistics of the iron
production of the United States will be
particularly interesting at this time,
when the growth of this business in this
country and the decay of it in England
are attracting so much attention. The
figures are furnished by the American
Iron and Steel Association, and convey
the latest information on the subject.
First, for some deductions from the
tables
According to Henry G. Carey, the
whole number of blast furnaces in the
Union in 1910 was 153, yielding $4,000
tons of metal, equal to 16 pounds per
head of the population.
The estimated production of pig
metal in 1872, by all the furnaces in the
Union, is estimated by this Office at
100000 gross tons, equal to about
110 pounds per head of the population.
In 1854 the total production of anth-
racite pig-iron was 339, ,435 net tons, OF
which Pennsylvania made 267, ,747 tons,
or II per cent. In 1871 the total pro.
duction of anthracite was 956,60 tons,
an increase of nearly 300 per cent. ovel
the production of 1854, of which Penn,
SyIVanla produced ia, iUu tons, OF
about rs per cent.
In 1S49 there were manufactured il
the United States 24,310 tons net Of
rails. In 1872 there were manufactured
GAL 1892 net tons of which Pennsylvania
made 419, ,529 tons, or more than A pei
cent.
Bessemer rails were first made in the
United States in 1867 to fill contracts
In 1871 this branch of the iron industry
had been SO well developed that 60,04.
net tons OF steel and steel-headed rails
were made in that year. In 1876, "a,
070 net tons of Bessemer rails alone
were made-an increase in one year O.
Sc % per cent.
The blast-furnaces in the United
States now number about 600, of which
about 100 were built in 1872 and 1873

An Old, Old Story.

The following tale of terror, which
has been told at different times of every
country on the globe, now finds its
American adaptation in the Opelousas
0a.) Journal, in these terms "Down
in the parish of st. Martin an old widow
lady, whose children had all married off
and left her alone, had been persuaded
to sell her little place and live with
them. She sold her land, buildings,
and improvements one day for $4,000,
and received the money in cash on the
spot, in her own house, where the act
of sale was passed before two witnesses,
the number required by law, and who
witnessed also the paying of the money.
In short time she was to give posses
sion, but she remained in the house the
night following the sale, all alone, or
with no masculine adult inmates, as
was her custom. That night two negro
burglars broke into the house and de-
manded her money or her life. She
gave it to them, but begged them to let
her have 800 of it, as she owed that
amount, and wanted to pay the debt,
when she would be satisfied. They final
ly consented to let her keep the hundred
dollars. They then ordered her to
make some coffee for them to drink. In
doing so, she bethought herself of some
strychnine she had in the house, and
quietly dropped it in the pot of steam
ing coffee, and placed it on the table
with cups, spoons, and sugar for them
to pour out and swceten to their taste.
This they did, and drank in jolly
mood, each one having nine hundred
and fifty dollars in his pocket. But in
few minutes the tables were turned.
One gave up the ghost where he sat at
the table in his chair, and the other got
up, staggered off a few feet, and tum-
bled into eternity. The good old lady
recovered her money, and on examining
the persons of the black, burg glarious
robbers, they turned out to be the two
witnesses to the act of sale, both white
men blackened for the occasion-both
her neighbors, and one was her
cousin"
