The Lehigh's Lumber Traffic.

George leighton, of Glenburn, who is at
present engaged in some surveys for the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company near
White Haven, writes thus of the lumber
business at that place; "The season for
active work in the sawmills has fairly
opened. All Of them are working during
ihe daytime, and one OF them at least
through the night. ! visited one of them
Tor an hoar about a week ago. This mill
though much smaller than some others here
will saw 100000 feet this season. The
White Haven mills, all told, will saw 40,
600 900 feet before next winter closes up t b,
river. There are switches running along
side of these mills, aud large share Of th,
sawed lumber is loaded direct from th,
mills to the cars. The logs are brougb

Il ERErTY STORY OF OLE BULL.

Christine, Swedish servant in a we'll
nkown family, narrates the following in
cident in the life of Ole Bull, told her
by the parties interested, who were of
her friends: On revisiting his native
land, the great violinist met in large
city young peasant woman bathed in
tears. His tender heart sought the
cause of her grief and learned that her
husband had been aided in emigrating
to America, the land of promise, while
she must await the hour when his earn
ings could bring her also across the ocean.
His open hand and heart were not ap-
pealed to in vain. "Give me your
SHOE" said he softly. Taking from this
the sinew used in its lacing, with it he
replaced the four strings of the viol, and
placing himself at the cathedral doors
he drew from this one chord, consecrat-
ed to pity and charity, such charming,
touching and piteous strains as only the
large heart and mastery hand of Ole
Bull could improvise and execute. Hi
extended hat was filed. Pouring the
treasure into the woman's lap, he only
asked to see the sacred string (swan-ike
in fate) reduced to ashes. Is it strange
that we loved his noble and poetic na-
| ture ?-BOSt0aa transcript.

AW4Ir1NG THE GUI1LoTIyE.

So soon as the sentence of death is
passed the criminal is placed on double
allowance. the ordinary prisoners
have rations of meat and Of wine only
on Sundays and Thursdays; but the
convict set apart for the guillotine has
roast beef every day, and a "cin-
quieme" of wine hot at breakfast and
dinner. He may read, write and smoke
as much as he likes. He has two ward
ers constantly in attendance upon him.
and their orders are never to contradict
him and not to abstain from entering
into cheerful conversation with him.
The assassin Troppmann used to play
cards with his jailers. Finally the con-
demned man has an hours exercise
every day in the "promenoir" attached
to the prison infrmary. There are, it
is true, few drawbacks to his physical
enioyments. Directly sentence is
passed the prisoner is made to don the
"camisole de force"-the straight jacket,
and that dismal garment-if he be not
respited-he never doffs until he makes
his toilet for the scaffold. The CANT
sole is sack-like canvas vest, with the
ends of the sleeves tied together to
prevent the protrusion of the hands.
Cords passing round the thighs and
fastening at the shoulders attach closely
to his body the arms of the prisoner.
At meal times one sleeve of the cami-
sole is loosened to allow the prisoner to
eat with wooden spoon thefood which
has been cut up for him. Again his
hand is set free when he wishes to
write. The murderer never knows
when his day Of doom is to come. Be
hind his meat, wine, tobacco and other
comforts rises the great red specter of
the guillotine The cords which bind
his arms to his sides are as the hand of
death, premonitorily clutching; and at
any moment the Governor of the prison,
the almoner and the "grefier" may en-
ter his cell and tell him that his execu-
tion is fixed to take place, not a week
or month hence, but that very day
and within an hour OF two
