seeker for knowledge from his box,

desirable that a broad line of de-

A correspondent of the Edinburgh
Couraat, writing from Toxic. japan,
thus describes an execution Of which he
was witness:
The prisoners we're seated in baskets
made of bamboo, each borne on the
shoulders of two strong men, The
place of execution was raised Ugh above
the road, and seemed to be Il At cut out
from the hill, the high bank os the other
side of the road alfording the spectators
good view of the proceedings. The
prisoners we're blindfolded ou the road
in front of the hill, and were then
brought up to the raised ground and the
kagos placed down. Refreshments, in
the shape Of fish, omelets, cake and
vine, were then handed by the attend.
ants to the prisoners, who all seemed to
partake quite freely The prisoaers
commenced to converse freely among
Ihemselves, calling EACH other by name,
and e4horting one another to behave
firmly at the last moment At the cen
ter OF the ground was o hole about one
foot deep and about one loot in diane

mat and made to kneel The execu.
toner prepared his sword by pouring
water down the edge. The prisoner 8
body was barred down TO the waist, and his
arms we're held behind his back by a
strong young fellow, who gained more
command over the prisoners body by
kueeling also and pressing his right foot
against the feet Of the prisoner An
other man settled the bandage Afresh
over the eyes and ears, while another
drew his neck out to the utmost, holding
the head over the hole until all was
ready, when be Withdrew, A. slap On
the back, Just below the neck, intended
to give rigidity to the muscles, was also
the signal ior the executioner to perform
bio task. He made bis bow to the eli
cials, and gave the comp De grace with
an ease and certainty that would have
excited the euYy OF any swordsman.
The instant the sword had passed
through, the man behind the body
pressed the trunk forward into the hole,
The executioner retired with a bow, aud
in an instant after the trunk and head
streaming with blood, we're conveyed "a
side place to await their removal by
