Governor Groswell, of Michigan,
in his Fourth Of July oration, spoke
as follows of his experience at
Adrian in his early days:
"The men Of years who are here
will bear me witness that the strin.

panics Of 1887 and 1857 was greater

member in those days money was so
scarce that it was difficult to get
twenty-five cents in silver to pay
the postage then required on an
ordinary letter. Our circulating
medium consisted mainly of wildcat
bank nots, individual shinplasters,
and orders on stores. All was barter
and dioker. When ! worked at my
trade, fellow-workman wanted to
consummate an engagement with a
fair friend of the opposite sex. He
called on our boss for money to pay
the clerical fee usual on such ooca-
sions, but he could not getit Our
employer told him he had not taken
ten dollars in a month. But being
a man fertile in expedients, he sug-
gested to the workman that he
would give him an order for the
amount Of the marriage fee on a
minister for whom he was soon to
build q house. This was finally ao-
repted and used, although it liked
to have broken the match, as the

aarrelInE a woman in spaip.


Prudencia Saint Vera, a woman
of Sacedon, Spain, was lately gar
roted in Barcelona for numbering
her child. On the day previous to
her execution she was singing joy
ously in her cell at an early hour,
when the sheriff entered. She lis
tened with tranquility to the read
ing of the first part of her sentence,
but trembled nervously as he pro-
ceeded, and as he closed she tainted.
Sisters of Charity restored her, and
she was conducted to the chapel OF
the prison. She struggled violently,
protested her innocence, screamed,
and rolled upon the ground in con-
vulsions. The night was passed it
the chapel with similar manifesto
tions, but toward morning she slept
through exhaustion. On waking
she listened to the mass with hag-
gard eyes, confessed Internationally
to a priest, and mechanically took
the communion. Prudencia was
then tied in a wagon, and, followed
by a gloomy procession ofpenitents
and monks, she reached the scaffold.
Being lifted into the fatal chair by
the executioner's assistants, a few
seconds suficed for the fatal collar
to choke her. For the rest of the
day, according to law, the corpse,
with the tongue blackened and pro.
iecting, sat exposed in its black robe
of execution.

LhO ONlhl NoACGtV, VI ]1plh 90,
says: captain L. Bolden met his
death at Mandulgurh. 1t is a vii
lage about forty or fifty miles from
Shapoora, and about sixty miles
from Nusseerabad, where the head
quarters of the Sixty-eighth are.
1t was the middle of the day on
Wednesday, the 18th, that a large
male tiger showed himself to the
beaters fearlessly. One he seized,
indeed, by the shoulder, and he is
not expected to live. He was close
to another, who, however, being
shouted to, bolted out of his way.
The hunting party consisted Of
Captain Bolden and Mr.. Bayers,
from Neemuch, and Lieutenant
Goad, from Nueseerabad. The two
former were on elephants after the
tiger; Mr.. Bayer, in a howdah, the
other driving his animal seated on
a sort of extemporized cloth saddle
only. The tiger appears to have
displayed great cunning and fear
lessness, and escaping the bal
aimed at it, suddenly, by a flank
maneuyer, jumped on Captain Bol.
den's elephant from behind. Both
elephants rushed away, and very
soon Mr.. Bayers found himself,
still in his howdah, a couple Of
miles from the scene. Had Captain
Bolden's elephant been as fearless
as himself, the tragic story had
ended differently. AS it was
when his terror-stricken elephant
rushed madly from his assailant
the rider was thrown backward, and
must have fallen into the very jaws
Of the infuristed lord of the forest
who forsook the elephant to execute
his will with teeth and claws on
his newly-acquired prey. His OBJ
iect seems to have been merely to
disable, for having fearfully lacer.
ated the lower limbs, it is said he
galloped after the elephant again
ALI this was the work Of an instant,
and ere the terrified onlookers (of
whom Mr.. Bayers was not one)
could draw their breath the tiger
was out Of sight. The wounded
man was carried somehow to his tent
too far away, and letters were hur-
ried off to Deolce and Nusseerabad
for help. The cavalry surgeon
from the former station was the
first to reach. The news did not
reach NusSeerabad till Friday morn
ing, and DR.. Henry Waghorn, HIM
self an eminent shikaree, started of
at once on a camel to the obscure
spot where the wounded man was
lying. He reached there the next
day, with his apothecary, and am
putation ofthe thigh was performed
at once. He sat up with him all
night, but with Sundays dawn it
was evident the poor fellow would
not see another. His intellect was
unclouded, but the shock to his
powerful frame, and possibly poison
from the tigers teeth or claws, were
too much. lie sent last greeting
to his colonel in reply to a letter
that had just come in from Nussee-
rabad, moved his pain-stricken
frame a little, as he turned his
weary head, and died.
