Grim Relics,

A curious but sinister little collection
of curiosities is shorty to be disposed
of at public sale in Paris. There recently
died in one of the narrow Courts run
ming from the Place St. Jacques a very
old man named Father Jaquet, who
was once one of the assistants of that
famous family of executioners, the Sam
sons. 1t used to be his duty to take
care of the woodwork of the guillotine,
the different beams, planks, &C., being
always lett in his charge. In 1882 he
retired from public life and when the
precious deposit was withdrawn from
him he retained various relics of his
old calling, with which he formed a
little museum. This, however, he was
very reluctant to show, and allowed but
few persons to visit it. The chief relics
it contained were the narrow, steep
staircase of eleven steps, by which
Louis XVI. assembled the scatfold;
patent pulley for raising the knife of the
guillotine on which was engraved the
name of Robespierre, and the garments
worn by various celebrated criminals.
This unpleasant museum is shortly to
be sold by Father Jaquet's heirs.
