The GuillOtine.

This morning, just at daybreak, the
murderer, Menesclon, was executed.
According to custom he was kept in jig.
norance Of the time fixed for his death
until within few moments Of his exc.
cution. He had passed the evening in
company with two jailors, who had for
some days been his constant compan-
ions, in playing cards, and an unusually
bountiful supper which was supplied
to him might have aroused his suspi-
cions, but it did not, and at midnight he
went to sleep. Shortly before day
break the governor of the prison, with
the priest and executioner and his as
sistants, entered the corridor leading
to the cell of the condemned. The
jailers, at a signal, opened the door of
the cell, and on first awakening Menes-
clon, informed him that his last hour
had come, and admitted the priest.
The latter remained with Menesclon
for ten minutes. The governor, the
executioner and assistants then entered.
Menesclon was in an agony of fear,
and it was with difficulty that the exc
cutioner made what is called "the tot
let" cutting the hair of the prisoner
short, cutting off the collar of his shirt,
and binding his hands behind him.
This being done, the convict was hur-
ried through the corridor to the door,
which opened upon the square, where
the guillotine was ready to receive him.
The scene at this moment was terribly
somber. The sun was just rising, but
its light was .obscured by dense clouds,
and at the moment the prison door
opened a violent storm of thunder and
lightning broke forth. The condemned
at this instant was overcome with ter.
ror and sank almost to the ground.
The assistants of the executioner had
to drag him to the guillotine, which
had been erected only few PAGES from
the portal of the prison. In a moment
afterward the knife had fallen and all
was over.-PariS Telegram.

One Of the greatest nuisances caused
BY the New York elevated railroads, is
the almost incessant shower of heads,
hands, feet, limbs and various other
parts OF the human body, which drop
upon the passengers below. These in.
nocent people are exposed at any time
to b. rudely greeted with the detached
and sectional acquaintance of some
person to whom they have not had the
honor OF an intro duction, and the air
is filled more or less with that peculiar
meteoric fight of fractional humanity
which is said to characterize the at
musphere of the diss Getting room when
the medical students feel particularly
larkish." The latest incident oc-

A SHARP REroRT.-Many years ago
an anti-slavery meeting was held in a
log church at Michigan village on
Sunday, and clergyman who did not
sympathize with abelitionism in any
form had gone there from mere curiosity.
A thunder storm gathered; the rain fell
in torrents; the lightning flashed fierce
ly; it grew so very dark that the in.
mates of the church could scarcely
see. The clergyman suddenly leaped
up and said that be regarded the ter
rifle storm as manifestation of God s
wrath for desecrating his holy day by
such meeting. He admitted that he
had done wrong in coming, and said
that he was afraid to speak. Sojourner
Truth, who was present, rose slowly
and pointing her long thin hand at him
shouted: Don't be afeerd, honey;
don't be afeerd. You won't be hurt,
shuah. I kind oreckon, honey, that

that q fish does not suffer much pain

The QUESTION SETTLED AT LAST.

The last town in Maine has been
heard from, and its vote is recorded as
solid for Piaisted. The Democratic
plurality in the State is 234, a Republi-
can loss of over $1,000 since the guber-
Material election of 1876. We presume
the fact that the Democratic triumph is
complete and overwhelming will gradu-
ally dawn upon the brains OF those
misguided Radicals who have been all
all alOrg consoling themselves with the
thought that Jim Blaine and his gang
would, somehow or other, manage TO
swiudle the people out OF their chosen
executive, aud that 1t would turn out
all right in the end" 1t has turned out
"all right and their corrupt political
organization and disgraced Presiden-
tial candidate have been repudiated and
rejected by the voters OF State which
was one OF the original corner-stones OF
the Republican party. Indiana will
follow next with a rousing majority for
Landers that will scare our political enc
mics out OF their boots, and practically
end the Presidential contest in favor OF
Hancock and the Democracy.

GAMBErTA'S COUP.

TIE French Ambassador at Berlin Rises
to Explain-Unsn:mity Of the Partisan
Press as to the Cause Of the Crisis
LONDON, September Pa correspon-
dent OF the Tincs at Paris says; The
Count De st. Waller has presented HIM
self at Paris to declare that he had re-
signed the Berlin embassy, but VI. De
Freycinet strongly urged him to recon
slider his decision so that their stimuli
taneous retirement might not excite ap-
prehensiOn. In regard To external re-
iations, VI. De Freycinet has urged the
same thing on all the French represen.
tatives abroad, in the event OF any Of
them retiring. 1t is probable, there
fore. that NJ. De st. Vallier's resignation
will be deferred, but it may be looked
for soon.
Tho President of the Chamber the Man.
LONDON, September pa Paris dis
patch says:
Nothing is more striking than the
almost perfect unanimity, with which
the French press accuses Ganbetta OF
having caused the present crisis, and
having thus disturbed the national tran
guilty, solely because De Freycinet in
his Montauban speech ventured to ex-
hibit himself as far sighted man. With
the exception OF two or three papers the
whole press protests vehemently against
the imperative interference OF an lrre-
sponsible person, and comes to the con-
ciusion that the real and only possible
solution is, that Gambetta should take
the Premiership 1t would be great
mistake to attribute this view only 10

friends regard it as a necessity.
