A Strange Reunion.

The following episode occurred Mt
Massillon on Thursday OF last week. On
n street near the spot where the tent of
Barnum's show was pitched, two men
approached each other, and when about
ten feet apart, both stopped and stood
for a moment gazing mt each other IN
mute establishment, when they rushed
each into the others arms, and like two
maniacs Rugged and kissed each other;
then separating, they took another look
and went through the same unrestrained
operation; and while they stood hand in
hand third man approached, and on
seeing them, he came up, stared at them
moment when they noticed him, and
the trio went through the same frantic
and loving motions, shaking hands,
laying on and hugging each other i'll
turn. At first we thought the men were
drunk, but upon further observation,
and on approaching the group, we
learned the facts were these. The two
who first met were DR.. j. II. Gardner,
of Brookiield, i'll this county, and John
Shang, boss canvasman with the Bar
mum show; both had been for three
years inmates of the Ohio Penitentiary,
where from day to day they had marched
side by side, without daring to speak
word to each other. Shang had been
sent from Carrollton for killing man in
general fight, and the people of Car
rollton regarded him as innocent, but
circumstantial evidence led the Judge to
send him up. Gardner will be remem-
bered as having been sentenced from
Canton nearly four years ago. Shang
was released several months before
Gardner, and they had never met to
speak, from the time they first saw each
other i'll the prison until last Thursday.
The third man, now travelling for some
Columbus establishment, was for long
time guard in the penitentiary, and both
Shang and Gardner had been under his
they hung about his neck
and called him their dearest friend, and
said he was the kindest and best guard
that ever stood in the walls of the Ohio
The whole transaction
was very touching, and we can confident
~ assert that not one of the men was
under the influence of liquor in the
slightest degree, nor were their actions
prompted by any but earnest emotions,
natural under the circumstances. STARK

Extraordinary Suicide.

Rome correspondent describes n re-
markable suicide of recent occurrence
there, which has caused much sadness
and horror among the professional and
artistic Romans. The victim was the
distinguished Juvara, an engraver of the
highest reputation and pupil of the
celebrated Parma engraver, Toschi. He
was 81 years old, easy in means, married
to good wife, and lived in quiet, or
derby, old-fashioned way. On the morn
ing of the Hateful day he shut himself up
III his private studio, and proceeded in n
lelsurely and systematic manner to kill
himself. He was over six hours in per-
forming the horrible act, and has left q
written record of his sensations during
that time. at s o'clock he cut vein in
his foot and collected the blood in a
dish; then with abrush painted with it on
the wall, on great cartoon, various SEN
fences at different hours. For instance,
one of these sentences said /: 81 o'clock.
With serene and cheerful conscience, I
am awaiting my DEATH" Another is
10 o'clock. Death has notyet arrived.
| now cut the vein in my arm" At 10:30
he wrote How strange The blood
mounts to my head. God pardon me,
for pardon my enemies" The saddest
sentence is this: 90 o'clock. / have
recovered my reason. My God, what
have l done What a rash act II is
too late, however, to repair the evil. 1
will now put an end to myself at once. "
Whereupon it seems that he took re-
volver and shot himself in his mouth,
which killed him instantly. Upon en-
tering the studio an hour afterward they
found the poor old man dead, sitting in
an armchair, holding the revolver in one
hand The bloody writing on the wall
told the sad story.

Twenty LaSI,eS.

On June /, James Warren was SEN
fenced to three months imprisonment
and forty lashes, to be delivered in two
patches of twenty each, for the crime of
rape upon a little girl. Yesterday morn
ing the prisoner received the first twenty
lashes. A little after o'clock, the pris-
oner, James Warren, was brought from
his cell. He walked into the hall with
, a firm step and removed his coat, waist
coat, and shirt, and stepped to the tri-
angle, to which he was hung strapped, so
that 1T was impossible for him to move Il
limb. The prisoners were then called in
and ranged round three sides of the hall.
There were present the Sheriff, Deputy
Sheriff, DIR. Richardson, the Jail surgeon,
and the reporters of the morning papers.
AT $50 the Sheriff took the cat, which
consisted of nine lashes of whip cord,
each having n knot on the end, and
handed it to the executioner, who was
one OF the prisoners of the Jail. Time
was given by the Sheriff, and Mr.. Ewing,
turnkey, was stationed as counter. The
executioner showed some nervousness,
but on receiving encouragement struck
the first blow upon the prisoners
shoulders, high up and close to the
leather collar which was placed round
his neck. The second blow, which was
delivered with the full strength of the
executioners arm, fell in the same place,
and the executioner, who now appeared
to have full command of his powers, de-
livered the third blow in the same To-
cality. The Sheriff whispered to him to
strike lower, and the next blow was
given below the former ones. The fifth
was given still lower, and the sixth was
struck III the same place. Up to this
the prisoner remained silent, but his
heavy painting showed that he was suffer
ing severely. On receiving the seventh
stroke the prisoner moaned, and he con-
tinued moaning during the rest of the
punishment, and kept moving his head
from side to side with quick mechan-
ical motion. His sutferings were intense,
his muscles We're distended, and he
struggled to free himself from the iron
grip that held him to the triangle, as
stripe after stripe of the cat descended
upon his back. No cry escaped his lips,
but his agonizing moan showed that he
was suffering, and when the turnkey an
nounced twenty his back, from the neck
to the waist, was one livid mass, red,
swollen and bleeding. Every knot on
the lash had cut into the prisoners back,
producing a wound about an eighth of
an inch in length. AS soon as the pun
ishment was over the prisoner was re-
leased, and trembling in every limb, he
was led back to his cell.-ToronatO

Position il Sleeping.

1t is better to 60 to sleep on the
right side, for then the stomach is very
much IN the position of bottle turned
upside down, and the contents of it are
aided in passing out by gravitation. If
one goes to sleep on the left side, the
operation of emptying the stomach of
its contents is more like drawing water
from well. After going to sleep, let
the body take its own position. If you
sleep on your back, especially soon
after hearty meal, the weight of the
digestive organs and of the food resting
on the great vein of the bedy, near the
backbone, congresses it and arrests the
flow of the blood more OF less. If the
arrest is partial, the sleep is disturbed
and there are unpleasant dreams. If
the meal has been recent and heavy,
the arrest is more decided, and the
various sensations, such as falling over
a precipice, or the pursuit Of a wild
beast, or other impending dangers, and
the desperate effort to get rid Of it,
arouse US, and send on the stagnating
blood, and we wake in fright, or
trembling, or in a perspiration, or
feeling exhausted, according to the
the degree Of stagnation aud the length
and strength of the efforts made TO
escape the danger.
But when we are unable to escape
the dang er-when we do fall over the
precipice; when the tnmbling building
brushes US what then? That is death!
That is the death of those of whom it
is said, when found lifeless in the
morning: "That they were as well as
ever they were the day before;" and
often it is added, ''and ate heartier
than common!" This last, as frequent
cause Of death to those who have gone
to bed to wake no more, the writer
gives merely as private opinion. The
possibility Of its truth is enough to
deter any rational man from late and
hearty meal. This we do know with
certainty, and waking up in the night
with painful diarrhea, or cholera, OF
bilious collie, ending in death in short
time, is probably traceable to a late
large meal. The truly wise will take
the safe side. For persons to eat three
time day, it is amply sufficient to
make the last meal of cold bread and
batter, aud cup of some warm drink.
No one can starve Ola it; while
perseverance soon begets a vigorous
appetite to breakfast, so promising of a
days comfort.

BEAUTY OF JETEssEs.

1t is related that Chateaubriand, on
returning from his eastern travels, was
asked if he could assign a reason why
the women of the Jewish race were so
much handsomer than the mer, when
he gave the following one:
"Jewesses," he said, ''have escaped
the curse which alighted upon their
husbands, fathers and sons. Not a
Jewess was to be seen among the
crowd Of priests and rabble who in
suited the Son Of God; scourged him,
crowned him with thorns, and sub
jected him to the infamy and the agony
oe the cross. The women of Judea
believed in the Savior, and assisted and
soothed him under affection. A woman
of Bethany poured on his head precious
ointment, which she kept in alabaster
vases. The sinner anointed his feet
with perfumed oil, and wiped them
with her hair Christ. on his part, ex-
tended mercy to the Jewesses. He
raised from the dead the son of the
widow Of Main, and Marthas brother
Lazarus. He cured Simon's mother
in law, and the woman who touched
the hem of his garment. To the
Samaritan woman he was a spring of
living water, and compassionate
judge to the woman of adultery, The
daughters of Jerusalem wept over him;
the holy women accompanied him to
Cavalry, brought HIM balm and spices ;
weeping, sought him at the sepulchre.
"Woman, why weepest thou?" His
first appearance after the resurrection
was to Mary Magdalene. He said to
her, MARY 2" At the sound of his
voice Mary Magdalene's eyes were
opened, and she answered "Master.''
The re ELECTION of some beautiful ray
must have rested on the brow of
Jewesses."
