1ApAnEsE EXECUTION.

The London Times has received from
a correspondent the following account
of a japanese execution: 81 went to
see an execution at Yeddo out of vile
curiosity. 1 repented of it, but still it
was most extraordinary spectacle, and
impressed me very much. The eulprits
were eight in number, one being wo-
man. They were all beheaded with q
sword. The operation was performed
with wonderful dexterity and GOODNESS,
and not one OF them, even the woman,
showed the slightest symptom of fear.
There was space of ground roped off ;
inside were three holes dug in the
ground, with little mound behind
each, ON which was spread mat for the
criminal to kneel on. On one side of
the enclosure were two Japanese Off
cials in chairs, to see the thing properly
conducted, I had place directly in
front of the mounds, at about six feet
distance.
The criminals were placed row on
one side of the enclosure, blindfolded
with pieces of paper, they use paper tor
everything. What struck me was the
horrid GOODNESS of the executioner's as
sistant, a good looking lad of about
eighteen. He went up to each poor
wretch in his turn gave him tap on
the shoulder, led him to the mound,
and made him kneel on the mat, he
then stripped his shoulders, made him
stretch out his neck, said, THAT will
do" and in flash the mans head was
in the hole in front of him, and his
bleeding neck was, as it were, staring
me in the face. The assistant, still with
the same pleasant smile, picked the
head up, threw some water over the
face to wash of the blood and mud, and
presented it to Japanese officials, who
nodded and signed to go ON with the
next the assistant then gave the corpse
a blow between the shoulders to expel
the blood, and finally threw the carcass
like log of wood.
He then repeated the same pleasant
programme with the next. | never
thought mans head could come off SO
