Exooutlon Of French Women.

The Paris correspondent OF q leading
Journal, in recent communication.
writes tho following:
Sophie Gauthior had beon found
guilty of horrible crime; she had kill
ed all her children by means Of pins,
which she stuck into their brain. Tho
death OF this revolving criminal recalls .
few interesting facts connected with the
execution of women In France. Since
1910 nine women have been executed,
and they all met their death with great
trmness. Ten years ago man and
woman were executed at Chartres tor
having murdered their parents. In
those days the guillotine was not tho
horrible neat and compact little instru-
ment that IL Is now; there were stops
to ascend before coming into contact
with the cxecutioner. When the crimi-
nal couple reached the foot Of the
scaffold the woman said: 81 should
like To embrace my husband before
dying. Pray unite my hands; you can
tic them again Immediately afterward."
This supreme wish was reluctantly gram
ted, for 1t was contrary to the regula-
tons Her hanhs were no sooner free
than she gathered up all her strength,
and gave her husband a ringing box on
the ear. According to custom, she was
the first to suffer the extreme penalty of
the law. Before the man had recovered
from the stunning blow she had dealt
him, her head had fallen into the saw
dust.
Another woman, who created great
sensation at the time, was Virginie
Dezon, who had murdered her husband

and belonged to one OF the best fami-
lies in France, She had not the slight
est fear of death, and the moment the
sentence was passed she sent letter to
the Emperor, begging there might be-
no delay in carrying 1t out. + Prison life
and the loss of her long black hair pro-
duced n much more disagreeable inn
preston upon this de licate woman than
the sight OF the hideous choppiDg block
and knife. Many summary executions
OF women took place when the regular
troops entered Paris during the insur-
rection. remember seeing one of the
advanced Republican ladies' placed
against the wall behind the Great Nor
thern Railway station. She had jest
| been taken with a recently fred rifle in
her hand and standing by the side Of u
dying sentry. "Did you shoot this
MANI" inquired the officer, pointing
TO the writhing sentry. ~ did," was
the reply, "aud am only sorry that I
did not see you before, as you were
better worth the trouble" Two m,n-
utes aiterward she was dying on her
face with twelve ballets in her body.
Death had been instantaneous; her
victim, the soldier, lived two hours af.
ter aud expired in horrible pain.

THE METHODISTS.
A Convention Looking to q Reun-

ern Churches.

Louisville. Ky. Oct. 25.--A large
number of Methodist ministers and lay
men, representing both the southern and
northern branches of the church. held
three meetings here to-day, looking to-
ward the promotion and establishment
of feelings more iratcrnal between the
two sections of their denomination than
have prevailed since 1874. So far as the
union in sentiment and brotherly love is
concerned, the two churches are now
united. Representatives from the nor
thern divisions, incluing Bishop Fos-
ter, of Massachusetts, and Bishop kav-
anaush, OF Kentucky, delivered address
cs, thanking God that tho aforesaid un-
ion has been brought about after thirty
two years Of separation of the largest
ecclesiastical denomination in the Uni

Mr.. 7. VI. Brown, formerly well
known citizen of Rochester township,
and whose mother and, we believe
other relatives, still live there, was
from reports received, deliberately
murdered in Monument, Colorado,
October llth, by Daniel Davidson.
He had accused Davidson Of stealing
cattle, and when they met in Monu-
mcnt, with few words and without cor
omony, Davidson drew his pistol and
shot Brown twice. Davidson was
arrested and placed III Jail.

characterized the filty-eight contests of
the grand joint campaign. They then
shook hands amid loud applause, All
honor say we to both Of them.

The opinion of the New York
Times, the leading Republican journ-
al in the United States, in 1874 of
Kellogg and his Returning Board
is of interest just now. The Times,
though under the same maLage-
ment to-day, supports Kellogg, and
uphOlds and sustains the infamous
condition of affairs which it so justly
denounced on the 10Th of Septem-
Der two years ago. 1t said:
s'The Goyernm mt OF William
Pitt Kellogg in Louisiana is one
which we have never been able TO
defend. Durell's decision, which
aided in establishing it, was an out
rage. The conduct of the Returning
Board which declared it elected was
dishonest. The taxation since 1872
has been arbitrary and oppressive.
Legislation has in hundreds of cases
been shameful farce. Districts
have been represented 10y men who
never saw them. The small reve-
nue. cleaned from the impoverished
people has been diverted to improp-
er uses.n
The same Board holds in it's pos
session the ballot boxes to day. We
may as well accept the inevitable.

CHRISTMAS Is COMING, no, for
Christmas! the season of joy
and rejoicing-the intervening
space between the dying out old
year and the incoming New
Year. With those of us who can
count back to more Of them than
we may ever hope to see in the
future, thoughts come crowding
upon us of many happy ones
gone and buried with many of
their memories, and in the at
tempt to grasp the dim vision Of
the coming future, we are filled
with dark forebodings. But, to
those in the Spring-time of life,
the present is theirs to seize and
enjoy, and they may clothe the
future in bright glowing dreams
of future happiness and enjoy
ment. We would not cast a
shadow over any vision now
spreading out before them in the
years to come. Yet they, with
all of the human race, will as
suredly learn in time "that all is
vanity and vexation of spirit; :"
that even as they "seize the
flower the bloom is she'd" Yet,
amid all the cares and trials and
perplexities oflife, there is much
of pleasure in store for those
who know how to use them wise
ly and we'll. We hope all the
readers of the Banner will en-
gage in the coming festivities in
such a way as they will leave no
sting behind. To one and all,
we wish a happy, very happy.
Christmas. And they will as
suredly be most happy who full
ly realize what Christmas signi-
fies.

The Waterman now makes the
prediction that the Republican par
ty has fought its last battle under
the name Republican, It has
been the history of the opposition
to the Democracy that whenever it
has been beaten it has. changed its
name. First it was the Federalist
party; then it was the Wing party;
then the KnowNothing or Native
American party; and lastly the
Abolition or Republican party. 1t
has again been beaten in a mighty
struggle, and the inference is that it
will next come into the political
field under a new name and new
banners. Four years from now the
Democratic party will not be array.
ed against the Republican party,
but against some other organization,
the name of which is just now en-
wrapped in the mystery of the future.
But although the skin will be that
of some new lion, the same old ass
will be under it, and we shall be
able to tell it by its bray. But the
Democratic party's principles are
Interchangeable, because they under
lie the prosperity of the country
and are the foundation of the hap
piness of the people. Change as
our opponents may, the edifice o.
the Democracy is built upon rock
and the winds and storms of adver
sity, faction and hatred beat upor
it in vain. 1t falls not, but stand.
