tul OF his profession III existence. He
has been more than il quarter Of 4 cen
turN In the business, and is very proud
of his skill. He may claim, indeed that
no failure or difficulty has occurred i'm
any case that came under his hands
This man is Deputy Sheriff George W.
lsaacs. 1t Is said that the name is as
sumed in order to protect the family
from notoriety, but 1 rlo not believe the
statement. He was Deputy Isaacs be-
fore he became the hangman, and the
last mentioned service came to him in
IN direct connection with his official
duty. He did it so we'll that he was en-
ployed on the next painful occasion. and
IN this manner he has been retained
until the present day. Isaac's first ex-
ecution indeed gave him 4 reputation.
Two river pirates Howlet and Saul
were to suffer, and the case was one of
great importance The prisoners were
well-known desperadoes, and had while
attempting to rob Il vessel at midnight,
murdered tho Waterman They had
also been political bullics, and at the
scene of execution shook hands with
Tom Hyer, Bill Poole and other assoc
ateS.
4 FEARFUL LIST.
Beginning with Howlet and Saul in
1903, lsaaes has assisted IN executing
the following murders: James L. Hoar.
John Dorsey, James Rogers, James
stephens, John Crummins, Nathaniel
Gordon, William Hawkins, john
Reynolds, Bernard Fricry, George Wag-
ncr. Jerry O'Bricn, John Real. John
Thomas, William Foster. Michael Nix.
on, John Dolan, and recently Cox and
Balbo. All of these suffered in the
Tombs except Gordon, who was taken
to Bedloe'S Island, rs his crime was
punished under Federal law Isaacs
has also been called to superintend
executions in other places and ore
of his most important jobs was the
Otero murderers. He has told me
some of the facts connected with these
painful scenes. each of which is deeply
impressed on his memory, His fee is
from $l50 to $3.50, which may seem
large, but when the sheriff receives
81 800 the chief fmctionary may claim
Il handsome fee He adopts the method
practiced by Marwood, the famous
London hangman, of placing the knot
under the chin instead Of at the ear,
since (as he claims) it ismoSt effective.

A POPULAR HUMBuG.-The greatest hum
bug of the age is the idea that good value
can be found in auction goods. Any house
that considers its trade worth holding, but
gets stuck with poor goods through an error,
sends such goods TO auction and in the auc-
ton room they are purchased by those whose
claim to popularity rests upon the fact that
they are skilled in presenting auction trash

The change in the editorial man
agement of the Pail Mall Gazette is so
interesting an event in journalism
that the following paragraph, written
by the new editor, is worth quoting /:
"Egotism is defined by DR.. johnson
to be too frequent mention of mans
self in writing or conversation. We
all know the egotist his wonderful
sell -suf6ciency, his supreme self.con-
6dence, his fervent faith in his own
Importance, and in the impossibility
for anything in which he has been
concerned to prosper or even to exist
without him. Like the tabled
bantam cock, he implicitly believes
that the sun rises in
order to hear him crow. Such is the
individual egotist, and so much are
newspapers liable to the same fault
that the word 'nostism, which is not
found in DIR. johnson, has had to be
coined to express in their case the
same quality. 0fsuch weakness this
Journal has at no period of its career
been greatly guilty. Itis a significant
fact that our first number, which APP
peared on the 18th of February, 1865,
this %reticent was carried so far that,
except for the No. /, Vol. L., at the
head of the first page, there was no
indication whatever that a new social
and political power had leapt into be-
ing, or of the Tenderness of the
influence which it hoped to WELD.
The same line of policy has been con-
tinued, and it is with reluctance that
we transgress our usual rule, and for
a moment speak of ourselves. 1t is
now known to all our readers that the
able and accomplished gentleman who
has from the commencement been
editor of this journal, no longer re-
tains that position; and in bidding
him farewell, we feel bound to say
how much the Pail Mall Gazette has
owed to his untiring assiduity and
unhinching independence. 1t is by
the latter quality that this
journal has been distinguished
In the past and will
be characterized in the future. The
Pail Mall Gazette in the livery of a
party, or in the train of a minister
might still retain its name, but it
would be the mere shadow of its
former self. We know not how to
account for the curious rumor which,
after a tour in the provinces, made
its appearances yesterday in a Sunday
journal, and which told the world
that this is to become a ministerial
