The Guillotine.

The first cart contains the bots de
Justice, the apparatus of death; the
| other, q rough RECEPTACLE which comes
empty but will 90 away full. The red
timbers of the guillotine are raised some
fifteen PAGES IN front of the prison gate
raised almost noiselessly, no ham
mers being used, but every part being
screwed into its place. BY the light of
lanterns the knife of the guillotine is
fixed into the grooves, and the eNecu-
toner makes his experiment to ascer-
tain that it runs smoothly. By-and-by
the spectators increase. The riffratf
are there, the amateurs of the scnsa-
tiOnal. some journalists, and-shame
to relate-a party OF youthful dandies
with the berouged accomplices in their
debauches. Order is kept by the po-
lice, but later march up the municipal
guards and trot up the splendid gem
darmes of the Seine, massive troopers
in bearskins, like the Scots Greys, and
hey form an inelosme round the ma
hine of reprisal.
The eXecutioner on this occasion was
Hendreich. He did not prepare him
self for this work on beer and boar
hound; his peculiarly was to make
meal OF rusks aud new milk before APP
preaching his dreadful task. The Pc
culiarity of his successor. Roch, was TO
supervise the proceedings without re-
moving his tall, shiny silk hat. M. do
Paris. rs he is called, has higher cmolu-
ments than his English colleagues He
receives 9.000f. yea from the state
for expenses and 4,000E for salary.
As the dawn approaches and the gas
over the Jail gate wakes yellow in the
advance shafts of day, the chaplain
drives up in n cab and enters, and such
sinister adjuncts of the function as
buckets OF water, bran, and the zinc
bath-like ease TO receive the head be-
comes visible. Hendreich enters after
the chaplain. the hour is ut hand.
The gates fly open, and the procession
appears. The felon, with hair cropped
and naked to below the neck. still in
the strait waistcoat, hobbies along; at
the foot of the ascent to the guillotine
the chaplain kisses him on the left
cheek. Hendreich supports him under
the right armpit, an assistant under
the left, another presses from behind.
A fourth stands by an upright plank
which rises to the level of the felon's
breastbone. As he reaches it he is
pushed and falls on his stomach to the
plank, which is shot rapidly forward
until his neck falls into semicircle
hollow under the knife; the upper part
which completes the circle is dropped.
Hendrech touches lever. the blade
flashes downward, the head jumps into
the zinc case, the body is turned over
into the tumbril, the head being shaken
from its couch of blood-dabbled brain
alongside it.
All is over. There is no senseless for
mality of inquest. The severed remains
are galloped off to the Turnip Field,
there TO be buried, the head between
the legs, beside the paupers from the
hospitals and the unclaimed unfortu-
mates from the morgue.

Ting for the hottest right, and now
when all has possibly been done to

American citizens and institutions

place, dignity in Cabinet and Con

other respects Madison people will
exert themselves to display to the
best advantage their charming lit
tie city.
Indications are that the Sunday
School Assembly on the shore of
Lake Monona, will this year excel
any of the past. People from all
points of the compass are filing APP
plications for tents and lots. The
assembly falling so soon after the
educational convention, will leave
but little breathing spell between.
Next, it is said, the Knight Tenn
plars of the state are preparing for
an encampment here for week in
August.
A circus is advertised for July 3D.
aud 4th and another later in the
season.
No summer visitors are reported
yet, but an usual number are expect
ed. The Tonyawatha Summer Hotel
has been enlarged and improved, in
anticipation of an increased number
of guests.
But little political talk is heard.
Blaine and Logan will poll all re.
publican votes in this county, and
some heretofore democrats. Those
who ought to be good judges say
that Dane county will return an un-
usually small if any democratic ma
jority this fall.
The republican state central com
mittee evidently did not consult, or
consider the third congressional dis
trict, when the Sd of September was
determined upon as the day for
holding the state convention. That
being the day fixed for the congress
sional convention of this district, to
be held at Dodgeville, parties who
might like to attend both will be
disappointed. But, no serious OBJ
lection can be urged. In each coun-
ty will no doubt be found republi-
cans enough to form delegations to
two conventions on the same day.
No public celebration of the 4th
will be had here, but Madison is to
furnish several orators for that day.

CAPITAL NOTES.

MADISON, Wis, June Goth, 1884.
The attempt of Reyes to have Dir.
Bascom deposed from the Presiden-
cy, has met such a storm Of opposi-
ton throughout the state, that the
so-called "charges" will probably
never be discussed by the Board of
Regents. The press of the state is
practically unit in condemning the
movement, and not n few suggest
that it so clearly shows Reyes to be
unfit for the position Of regent as to
warrant his summary removal from
the Board In Madison even there
is a strong and growing element of
this class. The city papers are mum
as oysters of late on the subject. 1t
is said that Villas was one of the re-
gents expected to sustain Reyes eff
fort. If such was the Colonel's dis
position he was fortunate in not ad-
vertising it, if he has any ambition
to be L. 5. Senator, or Governor,
or Vice President, for all which po-
sitions his name is mentioned.
For the present the question of
closing saloons on Sunday is settled.
On Friday, n number of cases against
saloon-keepers for having their
places open on Sunday, were called
for trial, when a compromise was
effected. BY the terms of the com
promise, the saloon men pay all costs
and fines accrued and stipulate to
keep their places closed on Sunday,
and not to sell to minors, in future.
In consideration Of which the Law
and Order League consented to the
entering of nolle in each case pen
ding. The settlement is a signal
victory for the Law and Order Lea
que, everything being accomplished
that was sought for, which is, sim
ply, obedience to the laws as they
exist. President Bascom, for hay
ing been active in this League,
keyes would remove. Now, the
League being shown by the measure
Of its success, to be right, Bascom's
enemies should surrender gracefully
as the saloon men have done, and
withdraw the Charges"
Dr. Kempster is kicking vjciously
against his removal from the Super
intendency of the Northern Insane
Hospital. He assaults the Board Of
Supervision in a letter to the Gov
ernor, to which the Board respond
vigorously, and to good advantage.
Both letters appeared in the Nilwau.

ing from those letters only, We

IL an interview published in a
morning newspaper, Ex-Governor ST.
John, of Kansas says:
The liquor vote is naturally Dem
cratic, and very properly so. Their
interest lies in that direction.
Yet Mr.. st. John and his associ-
ates insist upon voting separate
prohibition ticket, the inevitable and
necessary effect of which will be to
help to elevate into power the Dem
ocratic party, which as he says, is
largely constituted of "the liquor
vote" The interest of the liquor
sellers, according to Mr.. st. John,
Giles in that direction" 1t lies in
Democratic supremacy, which Mr..
St. John and his Prohibition party
are doing their utmost to secure.
According to Mr.. St John, then, the
Prohibitionists are at work in the
interest of the liquor-sellers.

Good Advice to Young Men,

Gov. Fairchild gave some good
advice in his ratification speech in
Milwaukee on the night of 21st ult.,
to young men who are to cast their
first vote next fall. He told them
that if any of them felt disposed to
join "the organized appetite" known
as the Democratic party, before de-
ing so they had better look into its
history little and examine its rec
ord and antecedents. There are
hundreds of thousands of young
men in the United States who are
now voters who have been born
since Mr.. Lincoln was first elected
in 1860, and there are thousands of
others who were children during
the period Of the rebellion, and who
know next to nothing of the excit-
ing events growing out of the ques-
ton of slavery, and which culmin-
ated at last in secession and civil
war. Gov. Fairchild advised them
to thoroughly examine the history of
the two parties for the last quarter
of century, and look closely into
the two policies advocated by each
before casting vote for the repre-
sentatives of either. A mans pre-
vious good conduct goes a great way
in establishing a good reputation
and encouraging high hopes for the
future. 1t is the same way with
political party. If an ex-state prison
convict applies to respectable bus
mess firm for position of trust and
pecuniary responsibility, the firm
would naturally want to know what
the fellow had been about in previ-
Gus years, and when the manager
found out that the applicant had
been a law-breaker and a criminal,
he would give him the grand bounce.
Now, if the young voter ascertains
by an examination of the Demo
cratic party's record for the last
twenty five years, that it has been,
for the most part, essentially vicious,
disloyal, reactionary, rebellious and
OpPOobh W VIC oCnb lhbCiCSOS VI buC
people, he will naturally not join an
organization whose history is so
black and damning. 1t does not
avail the ex-state's prison convict to
make fair promises when he wants TO
be trusted, and to assert that his
punishment has worked in him a
thorough reform. His crookedness
in the past is fatal to his future sue
cess. The Democratic party has
been out in the cold for TWEEN y-fve
years, and it it is very cold, ragged
and hungry. 1t is full of fair prom
Uses now and claims that the chas-
tening rod of affection and defeat
has purified it and made it fit to as
sumo the reigns of government
again. But the intelligent and pa
triotic young men Of this great and
glorious country whose destiny will
soon be committed to their hands,
must not only examine carefully into
the records of the two parties in the
past, but they must compare the two
policies and determine which is best
calculated to promote the general
welfare "Keep the rascals OUT
