ever IL was known. Many attempts were
made on his life, but he outlived the rebellion
some years. and died at last in his bed. But
what death was that T. It seemed as II the
pent-up wrath OF Heaven was destined to fall
upon him at that awful moment, and he was
doomed to feel the tortures of the damned
even before leaving the earth. 6lat
He died in his brothers house, in Dublin, in
the year 1904, of the most shocking distem per-
His body was literally ievoured by vermin
and the agonies of his sufferings were aggra-
waited by the most awful expressions, declar-
ing the fortunes OF O soul apparently sur
rounded with all the impatient messengers OF
hell, from whose embraces he attempted to
exhausted the struggling materials OF mortal
ity. The last words uttered by him were the
name Of his friend, Capt. Swayne, and the
terrible one, "Damnationp And thus he died
His remains were conveyed, under the care
OF few watchmen to st. Andrews burying
ground, at o'clock In the morning, and there
deposited; but go secretly was the spot con
cealed for years, lest some disLoya hands
should violate the valuable shrine, that no
inquirer, however ingenious, could accurately
say. Here lies the Walking Gallows"
At dength the exact spot was discovered
One morning, as the citizens Of Dublin were
peacefully pursuing their several avocations

large wooden sign board conspicuously ele-
waited over a grave, on which was printed in
large characters: go e''-i'''

the grave and scattered broadcast over the

Talked to Death.

man has nearly talked himself to death
in Kern county, Cal. A loquacious loafer
known as Murphue offered to wager $50 that
he could keep on talking for twenty-four con-
secutive hours without interruption, and with
no other stimulant than Delano whisky, which
was to be furnished in unstinted quantity at
the losers expense. The wager was taken by
another loafer, and the orator, mounting the
stump, began harangue on the subject of
kearney and the sons of toll. The start was
made at 8 30 a. M. By 10 80 p. m. the demi-
john had gone down cellar three times to
catch breath, with no visible decrease in Muir
phue's stock Of words. At $50 the next morn
ing Kearney had been disposed OF. together
with the contents of another demijohn An
argument in favor of the Chinese was then
taken up. Murphue's articulation at Z a. m.
became rather husky and the thread of his
argument rather difficult to follow but he
kept at 1t. One bet OF $40 was offered and ac-
cepted that he would not hold out, as he had
swallowed, during the time Of delivery, four
gallons of whisky. When time was at last
called, and the wager declared fairly won.
Murphue's powers Of endurance were ex
hausted. He fell from his cramped position
on the chair and rolled over under the billiard
table, spongy mass of flesh and whisky
but, strange to say, his lips in this eomatose
condition still moved.

sensa lions During Hanging.
fAllth Year Round

question has arisen which very few living
persons are In a position to answer, viz: What
are the sensations experienced during hang
ing? Some of the few who have been able to
give any account Of their consciousness at SO
critical a moment say that, after one instant
of pain, the chief sensation is that Of mass
of brilliant coors filling the eyeballs. The
Quarterly Reuiew (vol. lxxxv.) treating on this
matter says: can acquaintance Of Lord
Bacon, who meant to hang himself partially,
lost his footing and was cut down at the
last extremity, having nearly paid for his
curiosity with his life. He declared that he
felt no pain, and his only sensations were Of fire
before his eyes, which changed first black and
then to sky blue. These colors are even a
source OF pleasure. Capt. Montagnac who
was executed in France during the religious
wars, but was rescued from the gibbet at the
intercession of Marshal Turenne, complained
that, having lost all pain in an instant, he
had been taken from a light OF which the
charm defied description. Another criminal,
who escaped through the breaking of the
halter, said that, after a second or two OF
suffering, light appeared, and across it a
most beautiful avenue OF trees" All agree
that the uneasiness is quite momentary, that
q pleasurable feeling Immediately succeeds,
that colors of various hues start up before
the eyes, and that these having been gazed at
for limited space, the rest is oblivion. The
mind averted from reality OF the situation, is
engaged in scenes the most remote from that
which fills the eye Of the spectator.

Tell Tale Murder.

Mr. Martin, receiver OF taxes at Bilgny, in
France. havklg, in the year 1848, been out col
lecting the taxes, was returning home along
the high road, when he was shot through the
heart, at O'Clock in the afternoon. He had
only 100 francs about hin,, of which he was
robbed, as well rs of his watch and ring.
The manner in which The murderer was dis
covered was extremely singular. The charge
of the gun had been rammed down with a
written paper and part OF this Wadding had
been found and carefully carried away with
the body, the writing being etili legible. On
this piece OF paper there were phrases which
are used In glass manufactures, and a date OF
fifteen years previous. Upon this single ind-
eatiea the judge vent +, e the owner Of the
books and succeeded in finding ain entry rea-
tive to the delivery of some glass, Of which
the paper In question was the invoice. The
suspicion Immediately fell on the son-in-law
Of this individual; the latter had been out Of
the country for ten years. Orders were given
to arrest the person suspected. When the or
ders came to him he was on his knees, pray
ing. In his fright he confessed the deed, and
even showed where the watch and ring were
concealed under the house.

A Kentucky preacher rose to speak, and
opened his Bible. The first verse that met
his eye happened to be: "The, voice of the
ing" said he, "at first sight one would not
think there was much in this text; but on a
little consideration, you will see there is a
great deal in it. Now you all know what a
turtle is? II you We been along by a pond you
have seen them on q log summing themselves.
Now it is said the voice of the turtle shall
