The Place of Death.

The New York correspondent of the Rochester Democrat writes Thirty seven years ago public executions were prohibited by law, but prior to that time tine gallows was erected in the va cant field adjacent to the city. It would at present be difficult to find spot large enough for public execution, and hence the private method is here a matter of necessity. The gallows used in the Tombs is built of light timber and is easily taken apart. Rather strange, one carpenter has had this j,b ever since the first occupation of the prison. He built the gallows for John O. Colt, and he is ready to perform the same service for the murderer of Mrs. Hull. He was q young man when he was first called to the service, but is still able to attend to the work. He insists on keeping his name out of print, and may only be mentioned as a reputable builder, who enjoys the city patronage. No blunder has ever occurred in the executions con- ducted under his care. He has always used the weight and pulley method, and the old-fashioned drop has not been em- ployed for forty years. The rope select ed for the urpose is generally Italian hemp, but of late years shoe thread has been used as the material. This prob ably makes the strongest cord, for the size, ever known.

Free Speech.

The Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle says:- The following item appeared in the Silver City Times of Saturday morning "Silver City will not be hurt by the new railroad :; nor will it be benefited. A graveyard cannot be affected by a railway two miles away"
 Shortly before noon it was evident to the most casual observer that some un- usual excitement was afoot among the citizens of Silver. At 12:20 a deputa- tion of the leading men of the town were seen to enter the front door of the Times office. A moment later MT. Picotte, the editor, was observed to climb out of the back window, bare- headed and in his shirtsleeves. He turned his steps towards Gold Hill and progressed at the rate of ten miles per hour. The entire population, accom- panied by all the dogs, followed MT. Picotte. It took him but few minutes to pass through Gold Hill and reach Virginia. He was last seen flashing through Sixmile Canon. To-day a flag of truce is flying from the apex of Suga! . loaf Mountain. A strong glass discloses @ man without shirt, sitting at the foot of temporary flagstaff, with a pile of rocks of convenient size within hand reach and preparing a series of ques- lions for submission to the Supreme
 Judicial Court of Nevada. A peaceable
 solution of the difficulty is hoped for.

Antiquity of Man.

Professor Nudge makes some inter- esting statements relating to the au- tiquity of man in the Kansas City ReView of Science. He assumes the correct ness of the opinion among geologists that man was on the earth at the close of the Glacial epoch, and offers evidence to prove that the antiquity of the race cannot be taken at less than 200,0 ,000 years. After the Glacial epoch, geolo- gists have recogniz ed, by their effects, three others, namely the Champlain, the Terrace and the Delta, all supposed to be of nearly equal length. He takes the case Of the Delta of Mississippi, and notes the fact that, for @ distance of about 200 miles of this deposit, there are to be observed buried forests of large trees, one over the other with inter- spaces of sand. Ten distinct forest growths of this nature have been ob- served, which must have succeeded one another. "These trees are the bald cypress of the Southern States. Some have been observed over twenty-five feet in diameter, and one con tained 5,700 annual rings. In some instances these huge trees have grown over the stumps of others equally large, and such in- stances occur in all, or nearly all, the ten forest beds." From these facts 1t is not assumming too much to estimate the antiquity of each of these forest growths at 10, GOO years, or 100, ,000 years for the 10 forests. This estimate would not take into account the interval of time-which doubtless was considerable that elapsed between the ending of one forest and the beginning of another. "Suoh evidence," concludes Professor Nudge, "would be received in any court of law as sound and satisfactory. We do not see how such proof is to be discarded when applied to the antiquity of our race. There is satisfactory evil dence that man lived in the Champlain epoch. But the Terrace epoch, or tho greater part of it, intervenes between the Ohamplain and Delta epochs, thus adding to my 100,00 years. If only as much time is given to both these epochs as to the Delta epochs, 200, 900 is the total result"

The Western Bandit.

The three bandits who have been rob- ping on the highways west of Waco, Tex. were last heard of in Coryell county, in that State. They had at that time gathered in $3. 200. The leader of the trio is 0 man of 2s years, sandy com. plexion, with 6 heavy mustache. par tially dyed black and twisted at the ends; full six feet in height and weigh ing about one hundred and sixty pounds. He rides large ball.faoed sorrel horse, of which so much has been said. His comrades are described as beardless boys under twenty years of age, and small of stature, one riding bay and the other dark brown horse. The leader, who is spoken of as man of great coolness, is said to have rebuked his comrades on two or three occasions while in the act of robbery for exhibit ing nervousness, telling them that there was "not the least danger" At Haley's store, while the young men were doing the robbing, he stood in the doorway with pistol drawn and gave expression to the cynical remark that he "hated all mankind"

" Vaseline."

A new product made from petroleum is @ jelly called "Vaseline," {" which is of the greatest utility in medicine, phar- macy and for toilet use. Physicians all over the world have discovered it's great value in the treatment of wounds, burns, skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh @and every ailment where iniment is need ed, and in almost every hospital in America and Europe this substance is now in constant use, and is acknowl- edged not only to be the best treatment, but also one of the most important re- cent additions to medicine. 1t is put up in bottles by the Ohesebrough Manu- featuring Co.,, of New York, and as family remedy, it is without doubt the best in use. Its healing and pain allay- ing qualities being superior to those of any known substance, while the speedy relief it affordssfor piles and chilblains is almost magical. As an emollient, Vaseine is way ahead of anything else, as it renders the skin smooth, soft and clear, and our lady friends will find it not only the best, but perhaps the sole substance which will really preserve and restore to the complexion the hues of youth, making the cheek like velvet and the skin like satin. The complex ion powders in common use, are, as rule, injurious to the skin and destruc- tive of any complexion, while Vaseline is entirely healthful and beneficial. There is also made @ "Pomade Vase line," which is said to be of great bene- fit to the hair, keeping it soft and glos- sy, preventing and curing dandruff, and keeping the scalp healthful and free from disease, and from those objection able creatures which sometimes find a dwelling there. Numberless instances are cited of how by the use of this po- made thin and failing hair has resumed @ vigorous growth. Both the pure Vaseline and the pomade are put up in twenty five cent bottles and are to be found at all first-class druggists, and we advise our readers to make trial of this wonderful substance, and we think they will find it's claims to merit not in the least exsggerated.-S~aday ISnses.

were introduced the great majority of them, however were private bills. By MT. Coffroth (Dem., Pa. a.)-Granting pensions to soldiers and sailors of tho late war who were disabled while Tn the military service.e Also, increasing the pensions for loss of leg or arm.
 The House passed the bill providing that no petit juror shall serve more than three weeks in one year in any United States court and adopted an amendment to the rules giving to the Committee on Agriculture the preparation of the ap- propriation bills for the Agricultural Bureau. A similar proposition in favor of the Military Committee was rejected after spirited debate over the rules re- lating to the appropriation bills, during which Messrs. Garfield, Randall and Blackburn threatened to vote against the report on the revision of the rules if the appropriation bills were to be dis tributed among the committees.
 The House discussed the bill re0u1 lating the removal of causes from State to Federal courts. MT. Morton made very interesting speech upon fish culture in support of the resolution appropri- atinR $20,000 for the representation of the United States at the Berlin Fishery Exhibition in April, and it was adopted by 165 to 69. The rest of the days ses- sion was spent over the report upon tho revision of the rules, and proposition to give the preparation of the Post-office Appropriation bill to the Committee on Post.offices and Post-roads was rejected by 90 to 97. The Speaker laid before the House a memorial of the employees of the Government Printing Office, pro- testing against the action of the Govern ment Printer in withholding their pay on legal holidays.
 The House passed the bill for the conversion of national gold banks, and discussed with good deal of spirit the question of the distribution of the appropriation bulls among the com- mittees. The charge of the appropria- tions for public buildings was given to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds by 100 to S5. A vote was not reached on somewhat similar propoCi- tion regarding the Committee on Levees and the I'm mprovements of the Mississippi.

A California Gold Story.

The Sonora (Oal.) Independent says The most singular manner of being struck with fortune in prospecting, that we ever heard of, occurred above Spring Gulch, on Sunday. MT. Snow, late of San Francisco, now prospecting in this vicinity for other parties, was out on quartz hunt with Dr. Drake, of San Francisco. They were returning home, it being stormy, when Snow, (who was riding horse belonging to John Neale, of the Spring Gulch Mine along the trail, was suddenly missed by his companion. Shows horse d slipped off the bluff, and down he went at an angle of forty-fve degrees, horse, rider, and rife, (which he gripped finn ly ln his hand, rolling over and ov>r in the snow, until he brought up against mass of stone standing out of the snow, it's top covored with moss. He was not hurt, es the, cold, soft cushion had saved his bones from the hard ground beneath. Scrambling up against the rock, he noticed that 1t was quartz lode, and that where the horse had &C., cidentally kicked off the moss something glittered. His eyes plugged" out, but he did not stop to brush them off, his hands were too busy clawing off the moss. Darkness coming on, he had only time to break off q few specimens, which are filled with pure ore. One small piece, exhibited in town, was es- timated to be three-quarters gold. Tons of it are, apparently, still awaiting it's owner. Snow says the vein is about thirty feet thick, and in his impulsive generosity he gave away several shares of his vein soon after. He told us that he "would not look at $25, 1000 for his interest" It is, without doubt, the richest mass of quartz ever discovered in this county, except the Divoh bonan- za, recently opened. here in Sonora. Of course, he told us to keep it out of the paper but that caution we find to bs getting monotonous. Mir. Snow is very we'll known in San Francisco as an actor of merit, and gentleman we'll deserv- ing the good fortune he has tumbled to-" Some men are born rich, others have riches thrust upon them, but MT. Snow has drifted, through mir and snow, right slap up against pils of richness that would make old Rothschild's keen eyes turn green with envy.

The following did not occur in Hart ford, says the Post, but just near enough to make it interesting At the funeral of very rich but unpSincipled man, recently, the relatives and friends were anxious to have some euloeistic remarks made on the merits of the deceased by the minister officiating. In view of the utter wickedness of the mans life it was hard to think of anything that could be adduced to gratify this natural desire on the part of the bereaved ones, but finally a friend present suggested that they could at least say that "the deceased was considerably better than b;a fakhar !"
