A GhaSflY Execution.

One Of the most bungling and revolving
executions on record was that of the hanging
of the two negroes Jarvis and Jackson, at
Hampstead near New York city, on Friday of
last week. The account of the sickening
affair, as reported by telegraph, relates that
at 1925 the weight was released, and both
bodies spraEg up into the air, but only for an
instant was one suspended, and in the next
moment was witnessed an inexpressibly hor-
rible sight. The body of Jackson was drawn
up quickly, and his struggles of agony be-
gan, but jarvis body had risen perhaps
foot when the rope broke, and he struck
the platform squarely on his feet, COM
pletely paralyzed by terror and undoubtedly
terribly hurt by the jerk of the moose on his
neck There was pause of shuddering 81
lence all over the yard, and the half-lifeless
form swayed forward and would have fallen
but for the intervention Of the Sheriff's arm.
For three minutes, while the rope was being
repaired, Jarvis hung limp and motionless
upon the arms Of the officers. Sheriff Sammis
says that he did not utter word, but others
say that he begged in a broken voice. "For
Gods sake, don't murder me" The knot was
loosened around his neck, but the black cap
was not drawn up lest he should be convulsed
by the sight of his companion, who was
struggling with his legs drawn up and his
hands clenched by his SIDE Then young
man on ladder ran the cord
down, audit was about to be refastened when
it slipped and with grating, rasping noise
slipped over the joists. Another minute of
frightful suspense interviewed, during which
officers and citizens we're muttering Horri-
BILE Horrible" and the rope was again slid
down through the beam. This time it was
fastened, pulled taut against the wretch's
neck, who was still able to keep his feet and
then he was slowly pulled up, hand over
hand, the requisite distance, and allowed to
strangle to death. His second hanging oc-
Cured at 1880, and his pulse ceased to beat
at 11:42, after writings sckening to behold,
the body swinging round and round, and
shivering and trembling as if touched by a
galvanic battery.

THE SUMS DISTANCE.

Startling Results Obtained by the Re-
cent Transit ObservatiOns-Tn Less
than ,44O Years the Earth VIII Fall
Plump into the Sum.
The New York World publishes cable dis
patch from London, saying:
" The first tentative computations made at
Greenwich Of data obtained from observations
of the recent transit of Venus have Welded
results somewhat different from what were ex-
pected. Four calculations made independ-
emily give the suns para)lax as being re-
spectively 9O6 seconds, 945 seconds, 925
seconds, and 900 seconds, the mean being 924
seconds. The computations were made by
Prof. 0. Heinrich, Phi. D.. of the University
College; Mr.. Frederick Guthrie, of the Royal
School of Mines and Arts, and Messrs. Dun
kin and Ellis, assistants at thelRoyal Observ-
atory, Greenwich. No calculations have yet
been made completed at Kew Observatory.
The computations as given we're made only upon
the basis of moments Of external and internal
contact as reported from different points Of
observation, and may be considerably modi-
fed when Photographic and micrometic meas
urements are taken into account"
Based on this dispatch, the World remarks,
on the authority of an American astronomer,
as follows:
ITO say that the suns parallax has been
ascertained to be 924 seconds, is to say that
the sun is distant from us about %, 1913 semi
diameters of the earth, or 88,443, 726 miles
This is 1926 274 miles less than the distance
made out by Encke from observations of the
last transit, and 5000 900 or 1000, 900 less
than the results obtained by more recent
measurements. If this ratio were constant
we should require LAO years to overcome
the entire distance and fall into the sun. But
as it is certain that our centripetal motion
would be vastly accelerated continually as we
got closer within the sphere of the SUMS at.

is also probable that we should consume very
much less time than is above given in making

The movement in the grain markets has in
creased somewhat during the past week, but
still there was no special activity shown, and
the amount OF business transacted was rela-
lively light. This inactivity on the part of
the speculative interest is accounted for by
the unfavorabe circumstances surrounding
the trade aud affecting the movements of
spectators. The reports received from Llv-
erpool and New York were of diecOuraging
tenor, quoting declining tendency in values
and general weakness. The local speculative
movement here during the fall Was such that
prices for all grains were forced to a higher
range than to allow any shipping movement,
and the result has been steady and quite
rapid accumulation of the stock in store. the
bears > have had the entire control of the
trade aud forced d general and steady decline
in prices. At the present writing and during
the week under review, the condition Of
affairs has been improving. The low prices are
beginning to attract the attention of parties
having money to invest, and there is also q
better demand from shorts, who are
covering their contracts at the profit
offered by the liberal reduction in values.
Eastern advices were again unfavorable, but
the receipts are decreasing, and spectators
seem to have more confidence in the future.
Farmers are holding back grain and the cur
rent prices especially Of wheat, are certainly
very low. Spring wheat ruled fairly active,
and corn was also selling more readily. Oats
were regular and firm. Rye scarce and firm.
Barley strong under light receipts. The
markets closed steady and firm, with
@ more favorable outlook for the future.

Whales as a Motive Power.

It could hardly be otherwise, and the
" divine fitness of things" still exists.
1t was all well enough when whales were
necessary to the light of the world that
they should be killed for their blubber;
but now, in the days of coal oil and gas,
when the incentive to whaling is nearly
gone, it seems all right that new utili-
ty should be found for those monsters
OF the deep. To the philosophers who
have been racking their brain and pom
dering on this great waste Of power, a
little paragraph published in a Halifax
newspaper must open world of light.
This luminous statement is to the effect
that on the 23d of November the Ameri-
can fishing schooner Sultan, while
riding at anchor on the Grand Banks.
with $50 fathoms of cable out, was
taken in tow at the rate of twelve knots
an hour by whale which had become
entangled in the cable. After an hour
and half the monster was cut loose,
and got his harness for his pains. This
might be the germ of great discovery.
Why should not whales do service in
the sea in the same way as horses on
the land? We can fancy some New
Bedford mariner, who has made the
habits Of the whale the study of his
life, training school of young mon
sters. First, to test their utility, he
might try them with small boat; but
to find out their power he must ship
aboard fishing schooner and hitch one
of his immense steeds to the anchor.
All that is necessary is to form a stock
