faith. F ON the hour of his arrest
to the moment of his death, period
OF two months and twenty three
days, he was in torture whenever he
was awake, so cruelty was he bound,
chained and confined. When at last
the day of execution came he was
taken to the torture chamber and
subjected to the greatest amount Of
anguish which the human frame is
capable of enduring. surgeons stand
ing by to give timely notice of in.
sensibility.
Then he was driven by circuit
Gus route through the streets ofParis
to the place of execution. This took
an hour and a half. Another half
hour he was kent waiting in full
view of the preparations. the appa.
ratus not being ready. Then, in
view of the assembled multitude,
many of whom were women, he was
placed on lofty platform. and the
helliSh work began. First. his right
hand was burned of; next, masses
of hesh were torn from him by red.
hot pinchers and melted lead and
rosin poured into the wounds lastly
a strong horse was attached to each
of his four limbs and an attempt was
made TO tear him to pieces.
After a considerable period it was
found impossible to do this, and 9
message was sent for permission tc
cut the muscles of the joints. 1t wa.
refused. and again an attempt was
made to tear the limbs apart, bu
without success. A second time wort
was sent that the horses could moi
tear the dying wretch asunder. Per.
mission was then given, and the
muscles were severed, but not until
both legs and one arm had been torn
off did the prisoner expire.

The Yorktown Centennial.

In October there will be celebrated
at Yorktown, Virginia, the surrender
Of Lord Corvallis army to General
Washington and of Admiral Graves
feet to the French Commander,
which surrender practically closed
the revolutionary struggle. The de-
cendants of the French officers and
representatives of the French Repub-
lie have been invited by the Ma
ton to be present and to be the recip-
tents of its hospitality during their
visit. The Secretary of the Navy
has ordered the war-ship Trenton, to
bring over some of the invited guests
and others will be provided for on a
French steamer. A very large de-
monstration of our Regular and Vol
unteer soldiers will be made, and adj
dresses will be delivered by distin-
guished speakers from the North and
South. The command of the mill.
tary has been rendered by the Presi.
dent, through the Secretary Of War
to Maj. Gen. Hancock. The occasion
is to be made national in every par
ticular, so that the foreign guests
may receive the assurance of the
grateful recollection of the United
States, for the excellent assistance
offered by their ancestors in the
struggle for liberty and national ex
istence.
This celebration should command
the hearty assistance of everyone. L
will serve to unity our people, to bio
out some of the unpleasantness still
surviving, and to increase the bono

The Country is Secretary Blaine's
Debtor.

A heavy burden of responsibility
has rested upon the shoulders of
Secretary Blaine since the attempt
was made upon the life of President
Garfield. and the burden has been
admirably borne. In his relations
to the wounded President and his
family, to the Vice President, Ar
thur, and the other members of the
government, and the world at large,
Mr., Blaine has displayed excellent
judgment and keen sense of what
was best to be done under the many
and varying circumstances of the
tine. A central figure in the strange
and terrible history of the past four
weeks. he has betrayed nothing of
assumption, but has discharged every
duly falling to him with dignity
marked by that modesty which is
shining characteristic when found in
high places. Mr.. Blaine has sunk
his own personality, SD far as the
public has been able to see, in the re-
sponsihilities surrounding him as an
officer of the government, and his
duties have been attended to in such
manner that it would be impossible,
for an enemy, to point to single act
in which there is trace of self asser-
ton. Mr.. Blaine's dispatches to
ministers and others abroad have
been admirable in their character;
his attitude toward Vice President
Arthur has been that of man who,
called to the service of the country,
is quick to recognize the authority
conferred by the country upon others
than himself, and his administration
of the affairs of state has been char
acterized by a conservatism which
allows no opportunity for any marked
change in public matters whether the
President RECEIVERS or Vice President
Arthur is called upon to take upon
himself the further administration of
affairs. Whatever may be the out
come of the present situation, Mr..
Blaine has made the country his
debtor, Boston Journal.

Confession Good for the Soul.

According to the statement of the
clerk of the Superior Court, made
Just before the last election, there are
about eighty thousand voters upon
the lists. There cannot be, in view
OF the population of the city and OF
the actual vote cast, that number of
legal voters. Taking our population
as correctly given by the census Of
1880. eighty thousand voters would
give us one voter to about four of the
population, a proportion which ex-
perience has shown does not exist.
At the late election--a Presidential
one, which always brings out a full
vote-there was total of about &c.
600. While all legal voters whose
names appeared upon the registra-
ton books did not, of course, vote.
it is not conceivable that so great q
proportion as three-tenths of the
whole failed to exercise the right of
suffrage. The conclusion is irresist-
ible that there must be upon the
books many names which do not
now, whatever may have been the
case when placed there, represent
duly qualified voters. When the
wards are examined in detail still
greater discrepancies are shown, In
the Ninth ward the number of names
upon the lists is 1906, while the To.
tai male population, according to the
census, is only 3,471. There cannot
possibly be more than one. half of the
mNe population, including, as II
does, all male children and unnatur-
allied foreigners, entitled 10 vote So
that the books in this ward contain
about twice as many names as there
are legal voters. 1t is true that the
proportion in this ward of voters To

A Springfield (Ill.l correspondent

Mrs. Abraham Lincoln is not sick,

is peculiar, mentally a little off !;
mysteries other old ladies call her

piness is hardly more eccentric now
than much of the time during her
entire widOwhOod. She took a car
riage ride of several miles the other
day, returning to her home with a
healthful glow upon her cheek. In
fact, her general health is good for
one of her age, and she promises
fairly to reach threescOre and ten.
But her mental strangeness will also
probably last as long as her body,

ever assuming violent form, and

The preliminary report of the CEN
sus bureau on the public schools and
illiteracy in Maryland shows that the
total number Of persons, ten years
old and over, in the Slate who cannot
read is Ill 1887, or 2,713 less than in
1870, a fair decrease in face ofthe fact
that during these ten years there was
a steady increase of population. The
number of whites who cannot write
is 44,316; of colered 9O.l72 against
1872 whites and Ss,7O3 colored in
1870. The total number of whites q
years old and over who could not
write in 1880 was "a, l55, against 81
766 in 1870; colored, over q years
old, who could not write in 1880. &C.,
357. against 59,7O5 in 1870. The fig
urss show that neither the white or
colered people of the State are as dill
igent as they ought to be in the mat
ter of education, and that there is vet
very much for the State to do in the
great work of educating her people.

An Atlanta correspondent of the

the fact that various Northern and
foreign syndicates have determined
to invest hundred million dollars
in Improvements that will develop
immensely the natural resources OF
the Southern States east of the Mis-
sissippi river. One of these, having
its central point of observation at
Chattanooga, will build and maintain
roads into FIVE of the richest districts
of the South. A second will build
from Atlanta, Ga, railroads through
the iron and coal fields of Alabama.

lion five hundred thousand dollars
in the extension of roads from Nor.
folk westward. A fourth will open
up the rich country in almost a direct

Another Incision Made.

w &101 oOe Os @AAA tilC
physicians were at the White House
before 8 o'clock this morning, some
what earlier than usual. The morn
ing bulletin was about the same as
that of yesterday. The figures show
a slight improvement and the general
tone cheerful, but it was not entirely
satisfactory to the public. Yester-
days preparations are thought to be
about to be made use of soon. The
doctors remained in close consulta-
ton until about 10 o'clock, at which
hourne news had been received from
the sick room except the bulletin.
There was received at the White
House this morning, through the
Postmaster General, an elegant East
lake chair, made expressly for the
President. 1t is nicely upholstered
in velvet, and is fitted with extra
cushions. 1t has also square aper-
ture in the back, SO that when the
President may be able to sit up his
wound can sometimes be attended
to without his leaving the chair.
The use to which yesterdays prep
arations had been put was apparent
soon after ten o'clock. When Secre-
tary Blaine came from the DOCTORS
room he was asked what was going
on inside, and replied that an extra
bulletin was soon to be issued with
full particulars. Il was at once
thought that the hall bad been cut
out. but such proved not to be the
case. Before the bnlletin was issued,
however, it was discovered that an
operation had been performed. 1t
seems that the physicians agreed that
the increased temperature was due
to a tardy flow of pus. OF course,
when the wound was dressed. the
flow appeared to be all right, but the
indications were that the flow was not
steady, as shown by the improved
temperature each night after the tube
had been thoroughly cleaned hence
the suspicion that an improved aper-
ture was needed. To this end such
aperture was made this morning.
The President was informed that an
operation was necessary, and that it
was deemed best to place him under
the influence of ether. He made no
objection. DR.. Bliss used the knife,
while DIR. AgneW assisted in holding
open the wound and directing the in
cision. A start was made at the
mouth of the incision of two weeks
ago, and the new incision was made
larger and in a downward direction ;
so that the channel is now below the
twelfth rIbe, instead of above it. By
this means the old wound channel
and the region above the shattered
rib has a free chance to heal up, being
now entirely separated from the pus
channel. The President speedily re-
covered from the effect of the opera
ton, and asked DIR. Bliss what had
been done. The doctor told him, and
heexpressed himself as we'll satisfied.
He remained comfortable after the
operation, and at 11.30 was doing
nicely. The physicians expect this
operation will have met the recent
trouble, but close watch will be
kept on its issue. DR.. Hamilton will
probably return to New York this
morning. Prof. Taintor was on hand
with bettery for testing the electric
probes, this morning. but it was
deemed unnecessary to the expert
ment.
