A Priest Hurled alive.

New York Mercury.I
One Segoudo, a~gardener, has confess
ed to having murdered NJ, BlaIque, the
Provost Of a religious college at Prades,
France, his object in perpetratiDg this
crime being to obtain from the successor
of the murdered man the sum of fifty
francs, which be says he had intrusted
to NJ. Blanque. He relates that he com
mitted the crime in the following man
ner: On April 9th, about seven o'clock
in the morning, he led NJ. Blanque into
the garden under the p:etext OF pointing
out some repairs, aud On reaching the
door Of a cellar, seized a gun which he
had concealed three days before, and
fred at the old man. As NJ. Blanque
fell his head struck against the corner Of
the wall, and he cried out, looking in
tently at his murderer, All, Segondol
poor Segoudol" The victim was not
dead, but the Spaniard took out his poe
ket-handkerchief, wound it around the
neck of M. Blanque, and drew it 30
tightly that the unfortunate man was
unable to cry out for assistance. He then
dragged him down the steps Of the eel.
lar, and left him there while he went to
fetch a spade and pickax wherewith to
dig the grave. The Provost, wounded
and gagged, could neither defend him
self nor call fer help, and was obliged 10
look on in silence while the hole was be-
ing made. Tears ran down the poor
mans eyes, he crossed his hands over
his chest and muttered a hoarse a Y
When a sufficient depth had been reach
ed, Segondo seized the body Of the priest
in bis arms and cast him into the sandy
hollow. NJ. Blanque fell into the pit
headforemost, and still living. he strug-
gled hard to rise, and this gave the MUIR
derer considerable trouble, so that in
order to effect his purpose he was obliged
to hit his victim on the head with a spade.
The blow was so violent that the iron
made a wound cutting through the eye
and opening the skull. SegOndo then
threw a quantity of earth over the feet
and chest of the Provost, whose arm
made one last desperate attempt to clear
away the soil and raise the body, but the
gardener kicked it down, and shoveled
about two feet of sand into the grave.
He then stamped upon it, and, after
watching the spot for about a quarter of
an hour, went back into the college
kitchen, where he breakfasted heartily.
The rufisn was taken into the college
on account Of his being a Carlist refugee,
destitute of all means of earning his
livelihood.

THE PHENOMENA OF DEATH.


Under what circumstances the
Final Dissolution Nav bo q
Pleasure.
New York SUM-
DR.. Frederick r Marvin ave to the
Liberal Club last evening a physicians
view Of death, his subject being THE
Physiology of Death +" The history of
death embraces three periods, the fabu-
lous, the tuperstiiious, and the philo-
sophiesl. The fabulous period was in
nythologicsl times, IN which death was
p%srsoniied a. goddess Mors, the glance
OF whose eye was fatal; the superstihous
era was that long period in which death
Wasregarded as an instantaneous change,
a stroke that came aud cut off life from
the whole body at once. Ours is the
philosophical age.
The lecturer had experimental on
dogs, to discover the order of time in
which the senses die. To one dog he
gave enc acid. The second died
instantly upon his introducing a needle
into the medulla oblungats; and the
third he bled to death. In the last, the
order OF death was sight, taste, smell,
hearing, touch; which established the
tact that the senses disappeared in the
same order as they do in sleep.
The human body is an aggregation of
cells. Lifeis the augmentation Of these
cells; death their disiutegration. Each
cell dies for itself. Every moment cells
are springing into life. Every moment
cells are dying. Our bodies are com.
posed Of these little points. Take them
away and there is nothing left OF US but
the connecting shreds. There are dead
cells in your body, and when you are
dead there will for some time continue to
be living ones. We shall all at some
time be resolved into carbonic acid,
water, aud the mineral elements.
The whole surface of our globe, said
the speaker, has been dug over l2S times
to bury its dead, ever not reckoning the
long age of the world which is given it
by modern science, and we inhale, we
feed upon elements, the very atoms, that
have been living human beings before.
The dead, he continued, live again, and
we greet them in the perfume of the city,
10 the light fakes of the snow, in the
thousand leaves Of the forest.
Death, the Doctor says, is painless.
There is no moment in our lives in which
molecular death is not going on in us.
The last words of a multitude of persons
indicate that mere d~isintegratiou is pain
less. To die Of cold, after the first
agony is over, is luxury. So in drown
ing, The smile of death, the placidity
Of death, comes to all features after the
rigor mortis. This is over in three days.

a door Immediately opposite to it flew
open, q lady dressed like T%lburiaa's

out of it and fell upon my fathers breast,

W%ooDvILLE, MISS, May l6.-After the
punishment of the blacks engaged in the
cruel murder of last week, Sheriff Noble,
hearing the negroes were srming in other
parts of the county, issued q proclams-
ton to them to dispense, offering them
his official protection and that of all good
citizens. He then went with q posse to-
wards the insurrectioDary district, about
twelve miles from here. He found they
riAed a store Of ammunition, shoes, sad.
dies, etc. Soon after, the blacks, about
$50 strong were overtaken. They at once
assumed a warlike manner, refused to
dispense, cursed the Sheriff 's'posss, and
fred on them. A sharp fight then en-.
sued; the blacks fed, still shooting as
they ran. 1t is thought some twenty.
five blacks were killed, and several cap
tured. The rest Of the country is quiet,
ana the trouble is over. G. y.
