William III. Is generally supposed to
have invented, or rather TO have intro
duced into England, to modern "cat Be
fore his time the whips used on the backs
of sailors only had three thongs, The
Romans had three whips with which to
punish their slaves-the ferula, a fiat strap
of leather the scutina, an instrument made
Of parchment, and the fagellum, which
was made of plated thongs of OK leather.
The Russians have or had the stick, the
knout. The plet is a whip made of strips
of raw hide, with three lashes tipped with
small leaden balls. The knout is heavy
leather thong, about eight feet in length,
attached to a handle two feet long, the
lash being about the breadth of broad
tape, and curved so as to give two. sharp
edges along its entire length. 1t is bound
with wire thread, the end terminating in
alittle hook. 80
In China the instrument Of torture is
the bamboo, and as the following is one of
the laws of that country, few escape its
application: @Whoever shall observe a
line of conduct that offends propriety, and
that is contrary to the spirit of the laws,
even without any special infraction OF
their enactmeAts, shall be punished by 4O
blows, or 80 if the impropriety be very
great" .as..'s :.
The bastinado, which is SO common in
the east, Is thus inflicted: Two men sup
port between them strong pole, which is
kept in a horizontal position; about the
middle of the pole are some cords, with two
running nOoses; through these the max
ed feet of the sufferer are forced, and then
made tight in such a manner that the soles
of the culprit are fairly exposed; the pa
tient is then thrown on his back with his
feet inverted, which are forthwith beaten
by third man with heavy stick.-[Lon

The Trenton papers are again agitating
the damming of the Delaware. It is to be
hoped that the question will not end in talk,
but that organized and persistent efforts will
be made for the purpose. Nothing else could
be desired that would SO greatly benefit the
people along the river, on both sides, not only
at Trenton, but all along this section of the
country The Trenton Emporium says
ain an article recently written, we urged
the Importance of giving some attention to
this matter, and endeavored to show that the
expenditure of money required, by the city OF
Trenton, would be the best and most profit
able investment that could be made, as it
would add immensely to the growth and
worth of the city. A communication from
prominent citizen of Bucks county, published
Yesterday, takes exception to our remarks as
written too strongly in favor of Trenton, to
the exclusion of Morrisvile and the Pennsyl-
vania interest. The drift and tenor of our
article has been misunderstood. Trenton
cannot hold any franchise or have any direct
pecuniary interest in any enterprise except
for the benefit of its own citizens, cannot act
or legisate for the benefit or advantage OF
any but her own people, but when the work Is
done and the water power created the adVah-
tage must inure to Morrisville and Bucks Co.
equally with Trenton. The aqueduct spoken
of would have to be built by Trenton, ex-
clusively, but Bucks county could build a
similar one on their side of the river. The
work of damming the river is of equal i'm
portance to both States, and of necessity must
be carried on by both, conformity and coop
eratively, but any subsequent improvement
will be for the citizens Of each State respect
lively, unless the work is done by joint stock
company Trenton cannot reap advantage
from this work alone, both sides of the river
will profit alike and both must work harmo-
niously and together. As respects utilizing
the water power above Trenton and Norris
vile, once getting the river damned here,
and all along the river from Easton down, the
people seeing the benefit arising from the
proper use of the waters, will erect dams at
every available place, and in process of time
the banks of the Delaware will be studded
with thriving towns"

ending in fight one night last week. 1t
appears that one Of them got fifty dollars, the
second fifteen, and the third only ten, for fur

senatorial candidates and the two who receiv-

cause the third had been considered so much
higher priced. They made no secret of the
matter in dispute, we are told.

-On Monday evening last, Robert Naylor,
of Solebury, while driving along Bridge
street, in this city, drove into an excavation
made by the Gas Company in which to lay
their pipes and made narrow escape from
serious consequences. 1t appears that no
protection had been put up by The workmen
to ward off such accidents, and, of course, the
driver knowing nothing of the danger, had
his horses precipitated into the trench. The
two or three occupants of the wagon were
thrown out, but, fortunately sustained olly
slight bruises. The horses were somewhat
injured. The accident only shows that too
much care cannot be exercised to thoroughly
guard such places when that kind of work is
being done.
