The distress in Montenegro is likely
to cause important changes In Russian

Milan was very kindly received by

might always reckon on his sympa-
thies, No opportunity seems to have
been given Prince Milan to ex-
press himself directly, much less
to receive any instructions, but
according to information the 0pin-
ion of the ear and his government
still Is, that Servia should not stir, and,
as for any positive prohibition, there
can be no question by 10 doing Russia
would take upon herself responsible

Capital Punishment-Anc and Mod.

Crucifxion was very ancient punish
ment. The Syrian, Jews, Egyptians,
Persians, and especially the Carthage
mans, used it,. But in no part of. the
ancient world was this punishment so
generally resorted to as in the Roman
Empire, where it was regarded as the
most infamous of deaths. By the Ro-
man law the .culprit was scourged pre-
viously to the crucifxion, either in the
pretorian or on the way to the place Of
execution. On his arrival there he was
stripped of his garments, and then either
nailed or tied by, the hands and feet to
the cross. or. as sometimes happened,
only fastened to it, by ropes. In order to
hasten death, it was the practice to break
the legs, or to pierce the body of the suf-
ferer with q spear, By the Jewish law
it was ordained that the body Of the cul-
prit. Should be removed from the cross on
the day Of his execution; but the Romans
frequently allowed it to hang until it
dropped 'piece.meal to the ground.
Among the Greeks capital punishment
was Inflicted by the regular killing, or as
in the case Of Socrates, by ordering that
the victim should drink a bowl of hem
lock, which is poisonous. The ancient
Isrealites stoned their .culprits to death,
and in Rome certain criminals were de-
stroyed by throwing them from the. Tar
peian Rock.
In England, during the middle ages,
death was the ordinary punishment for
ali felonies but if the culprit could read,
he escaped with life on a first conviction.
In the British army and navy, within
the present century, soldiers and sailors
have been literally aogged to death with
d 1cat-o'-nine-tails.. Sometimes 1000
lashes were ordered. The inAiction,
thols 81 much mitigated, is still continued
in the British military and naval service.
In tile American it has been ihumanely
abolished within the last thirty years. -,
During the first French revolution

Formerly, in Scotland, culprits' heads
were chopped off by the maiden. : It was

its name was manaaja, and 'chlprit-nobles
