THE SENSATION OF HANGING.

A man by the name of McGee,
down in old Kentucky, lately came
near being hanged by vigilance
committee for murder which he did
not commit, the actual murderer be>
ing a member Of the extra judicial
body. He has given an elaborate
account of the sensation which at.
tend that method Of dying,
Being jorked up by the rope,
there was no pain while he was as
cending He then could feel bis
eyes suddenly turn into balls of fire
and protrude from their sockets
hi. muscles refused to respond to
his will, his joints felt as if pierced
by red hot needles; his knees twitch
ed and jerked convulsiveIy. Then
came a delicious sensation of cool
numbness which began at the ex
tremities and gradually stole over
him
He lost all desire to save himself /;
in fact, preferred to die then and
there. Almost every act of his life
required to his memory.
He heard a distant roar, as Of
farsway cataract it became louder
and finally almost deafening, then it
changed into the most delicious mus
sic everything was as light as mid
day; then followed Inconsistencies;
no was himself and not himself ; he
seemed to be sailing through space
as a bird seems to float without nov
ing a wing.
The silence was terrible. Great
bodily pain then ensued, and when
he came to himself he found the rope
broken and his executioners disput
ing as to whether he should be strung
up againor carried to jail.
The mercitul plan prevailed lie
was locked up for three days Their
he was released, and the real MUIR
derer took his place.

talk about extra work, have heard

such men ought not to attempt to be

uous work, work, work, while it is
day, that success is attained in any

TACT.

People cannot help having been
born without tact any more than
they can help having no ear for mu-
sic ; but there are occasions when 1t
is impossible to be quite charitable
to a tactless person. Yet people
who have no tact deserve pity. They
ero almost always doing or saying
something to get themselves into
disgrace, or which does them an in
jury. They make enemies where
they desire friends, and get repu-
tation Cor il,na,ure which they do
not deserve They are also coutin~
ually doing other people harm,
trcading on metaphorical corns,
opening the capboards where family
skeletons are kept, angering people,
shamiug people, saving aud doing
the most awkward things, and apollo
giving for them with as'ill more ter-
rible bluntness. there is one soci-
al boon more to DO desired than an~
other, it is tact; for, without tact,
the career of the richest and most
beautiful is often utterly ruined.

another Confidence Operation.

An elderly gentleman, Sanders, from Iowa,
on the road to the Sunday school assembly at
the Lake park, was taken in and done for by a
sleek-lookin g young man on the II :s5 morning
Eas ern train on the Chicago, Milwaukee & 81.
Paul road. The young man approached the
Iowa gentleman and observed: 'Sir, excuse
me, but your face is quite familiar, although
can't recall your name just now" The gentle
man thereupon informed the 8. Y. M. what his
cognomen was, whereupon the young man sud-
denly remembered him, but could not recollect
where he came from. Being enlightened upon
that point. the men gradually began to grow in
terested in each other, and as the young man
seemed to know every body the Iowa gentleman
named. they we're soon excellent friends. At
ter leaving Minnehaha the young man stated
that he must pay out some money to parties on
board the train, but unfortunately his trunks
were locked up and being slowed away with
30 much other baggage 1T would be impossible
to get at his money, which was in one of the
trunks. If Mr.. - would kincly loan him
$50 till they reached Minneapolis. he would
then make it all right. Mr.. - replied that
he only had $15 upon his person, but if that
amount would be of any use he might have it
for the desired length of time. The young
man thought he might be able to make
that amount do until they should reach town.
The old bond dodge was worked but the Iowa
gentleman being SO credulous did not ask to
take this security. As the South Minneapolis
station was approached the 8. y. m. went int,
the front car to find his creditor. The train
came into town, and Mr.. -- from Iowa began
looking for his young friend. but
could find no trace of him. and is
now SIS poorer, and it is hoped wiser
in greater proportion. The sleek young mar
probably skipped out at South Minneapolis.
This was doubtless judment upon the lows
man for thinking of attending the Sunday
school assembly at Minnetonka.
