The Russian KnOut.

There is probably no more terrible
instrument of punishment, or it may
perhaps be more properly called tor.
ture, than the knout in the hands of
Russian executioner. To give the
reader some idea of it's form, the
mode of administering it, and its hor.
rible effects, we quote the following
from recently published work, enti-
tied "The Knout and the Russians ~
"Conceive robust man, full of life
and health. This man is condemned
to receive fifty or hundred blows
of the knout. He is conducted half
naked, to the place chosen for this
kind of execution. All that he has
on, is a pair of linen drawers round
his extremities. His hands are bound
together, with the palms laid fat
against one another, and the cords
breaking his wrists; but no one pays
the slightest attention to that. He
is. laid flat on his belly, on a frame
inclined diagonally, and at the ex-
tremities OF, which are fixed iron
rings; his hands are fastened to one
end Of the frame, and his feet to the
other he is then stretched in such a
manner that he cannot make a single
movement, just as an cells skin is
stretched in order to dry. This act
Of stretching the victim, causes the
bones to crack, and dislocates them
but what does that matter. At the
distance of 6ve-and-twenty PAGES
stands another man; it is the public
executioner, He is dressed in black
velvet trowsers, tucked in his boots,
and colored shirt, buttoning at the
side. His sleeves are rolled up, so
that nothing may thwart or embarrass
him in his movements. With both
hands he grasps the instrument Of
punishment-the knout. This knout
consists of thong of thick leather,
cut in triangular form, from four to
five yards long, and an inch wide, ia
pering off at one end and broad at
the other; the small end of which is
fastened to little wooden handle,
about two feet long. The signal is
given no. one ever takes the trouble
TO read the sentence. The execution

japanese Money.

One Of the greatest curiosities in
Japan to the stranger, is the wonder.
full variety of coins that are used daily.
In some instances it takes 1000 pieces
to make 81. These are called ..scash,"
and are seldom received by foreign
ers, who as general rule, refuse to
take them in change. Imagine
making a trade of FIVE cents, and
giving a man ffty.cent piece, then
receiving in change $50 of these cop
pers. This coin is peculiarly made,
having a square hole in tie center.
They are about the size of our dime
pieces, and nearly two-thirds the
thickness. Next to this comes the
quarter of cent, then the half cent,
eight-tenths OF a cent, and one, and
two-cent pieces. In silver coins, they
have the five, ten, twenty, ifty-cent
and one dollar pieces, In gold, the
one, two, five, ten, and twenty-dol-
lars, which are very pretty coinages
indeed. Next to this comes the gov.
eminent series of paper money, in
various denominations, ranging from

er advancesa few.steps, EithHis body
bent, holding The knout in both hands,
while the long thong drags along the
ground between his legs. On COM
ing to about three or four. PAGES
from the prisoner, he raises by Wig
orous movement, the knout towards
the top of his head, and then instant
ly draws it down with rapidity
towards his knees. The thong flies,
and whistles through the air, and de-
scending on the body of the victim,
twines around it like a hoop of iron.
In spite OF his state of tension, the
poor wretch bounds as if he were
submitted to the powerful grasp of
galvanism. The executioner retraces
bis steps, and repeats the same opera
ton as many times as there are blows
to be inflicted. Where the thong en-
velopes the body with its edges, the
flesh and muscles are literally cut
into stripes, as if with a razor; but
when it falls fat, then the bones
crack. The flesh, in that case, is not
cut, but crushed and ground, and the
blood spurts out in all directions.
The sufferer becomes green and blue,
like body in a state of decompo-
sitlon. He is removed to the hospi-
tai, where every care is taken of him
and he is afterward sent to Siberia,
where he disappears forever in the
bowels of the EARTH" He
