bootA Repeating the AofU EAayeT'
The Lords Prayer contains sixty-five
simple words. and no other three score

many human lips For a thousand years
they have been the household. the cradle
words of Christendom Children innu-
mcrable, IN both hemispheres, have been
taught to say them in their first lesson in
ariculate speech They have been the
prayer OF al ages and conditions; uttered
by mitred bishops i'll great cathedrals,
and liSped by poor mems children, with
closed eyes, in cots Of straw at night. The
feet OF forty generations, as it We're, have
passed over them. until, to some indit1er-
ent minds, their life may seem to have
been trodden out of them. Indeed one
often hears them from the pulpit as if they
We're Worn out by repetition A few pre-
tentouslv educated minds may even ask
their secret thoughts, Can these dry
words live ," Yes, they have been made
to live with overpowering vitality.
Jlnus Brutus Booth, the celebrated
tragedian, was a man who threw into his
impersonations an amount of heart and
soul which lii originals could scarcely
have cqualed He did Richard LII to the
life and more He had made human pas
sions. emotions and experiences his LIES
study, He could not only act but feel
rage, love, despair. hate, ambition, fury,
hope and revenge, with a despair and
force that half amazed his auditors. He
could transmute himself into the hero of
his impersonahon. and he could breath
a power into other mems written words
which perhaps WAS never surpassed. And,
what is rather remarkable, when he was
inclined to give illustrations OF this tacul-
ty to private circles of friends, he nearly
| always selected some passages from Job,
| David. or Isaiah on other holy men Of
old. When an aspiring young professor
OF liar} ard University went to him by
night to ask a little advice or instruction
in qualifying himself for an orator, the
veteran tragedian opened The Bible and
read few verses from Isaiah in a way that
made the Cambridge scholar tremble with
awe. As If the prophet had risen from the

Who Put Dat Money on Dat Acct"

The recent plan of our enlightened Sec
retary OF the Treasury for resuming spe-
Gle payments with Il teapottul OF silver
halves and quarters, to be paid out in
sums not exceeding five dallars to each
bill-hoder as long as they lasted, reminds
us Of an incident said to have occurred IN
Il small faro bank, kept by Il colored gen
tleman in st. Louis at the beginning of
the war. The proprietor, a naughty old
house servant from Virginia, who had
somehow GOT his freedom and had strayed
Westward although his capital was small
and his banking house Il humble shanty
in the suburbs, inspired immense awe in
the crowd OF blacks who came to WOO
chance under his roof by wearing a terri
bic trown, a suit OF seedy black, a vast
shirt collar, and 4 ruflied shirt, to which
last garment the boldest Africa mind
surrendered at discretion. The stakes, as
maybe imagined. We're exceedingly small,
being nicely proportioned to the meager
capital Of the bank, and angling from
half-dimes to quarter dollars, the last be
ing the highest that was ever permitted
The SON Of the proprietor acted as deal
er, while the dignified sire paced the
room during the evening sessions and
kept general oversight Of the gamesters.
One evening couple of of army officers
induced their black servant by the present
of small fee 10 smuggle them into this
bank, where whites were not commonly
tolerated, and providing that facile meni-
al with ten silver dollars, instructed him
to put them on the ace The proprietor.

spied the fabulous pile Of specie glitter

ment he was struck dumb, but recovering
his voice he cried out, in a voice of thun-
der: ''Who put dat money on dat ace?"
There was dead silence. The trembling
darkies were all afraid to answer. s'Who
put dat money on dat ace?" repeated the
outraged son of Guinea. There was still
no answer, and he went on: 'Whoever
put dat money on dat ace, had better take
dat money off dat ace and be dam quick

With that they stretch wire across. Then

Execution of Kanaka Joe.
PoRr TOWNSEND, March 6.-Joseph
Nehana, alias Kanaka Joe," convict
ed at the last term of the District
Court for the murder of Dwyer, on San
Juan Island, suffered the death penalty
between 10 and IL A. NJ. to-day. A
scaffold was erected yesterday on the
beach below Point Hudson, near the
brewery, and quite large crowd had
gathered around it by 8 o'clock. A
few minutes before 10 the prisoner was
brought out of Jail by Sheriff Boyese,
of San Juan, and Major Van Bokkelen,
Sheriff of Jefferson county, and walked
fearlessly, with his hanus in his coat
pockets, accompanied by Rev. Father
Mans, to the place of Execution. Some
200 spectators followed. At the gal
lows Joe walked briskly up the steps
and stood on the platform in confer
ence with Father Mans for several
minutes, then took off his hat and said,
Il am very sorry for what have done.
All hands, good bye" He then waved
.. his cap to the crowd. For moment
he showed signs of weakening, as his
arms were being pinioned, but soon re-
covered his composure. He had re-
quested that his hands should not be
tied, and promised lie would not move
them if left unbound. The drop fell at
five minutes past 10. The rope being
large new one. the knot did not slip
easily, but shifted under the chin,
leaving the strain on the back of the
neck; consequently the neck was not
broken, and for few moments he
clenched his hands, and the convul-
sions of the body showed that he suff-
cred terribly. Thirteen minutes after
the drop fell, DR.. Bingham found the
heart beating at sixty, but it soon stop
ped, and i'll twenty minutes the doctor
pronounced him dead. Joe made a
full confession last night, detailed all
the circumstances of the Dwyer MUIR
der, and confessed to killing Fuller in
