The Mexican Congress.

A letter from Mexico, describing a
sitting of congress, says; The members
wear iaultless suits of black. Many of
them, perhaps a majority, have white
neckties, and white gloves. 1t is almost
full-dress affair. They are Il fine
looking body of men. Some of them
have faces to be remembered. There is
an astonishing uniformity of complexion.
Black eyes, black hair, in whatever di-
rection the observer turns. There is
not one blonde in the building, except
among the handful of foreigners, who
are attentive spectators. Most of the
members, too, are of only middle age,
or younger. Three gray and as many
bald heads exhaust the list of eXcep-
tons to this rule. One instinctively falls
20 specializing why there are no old men
for council here. The most natural con-
clusion is that the men of the last gen
Grafton either failed to reach middle
life, because of the frequent bloody polit-
ical revolutions of their times, or else
continue to be so far behind the hour
that the present progressive age has no
use for them. Modern ideas arc certain
ly gaining ground in Mexico. And it is
fitting, if not inevitable, that modern men,
and they only, should expound them.
There ought to be large attendance of
fair women to greet these brave men and
Jealous Legislators. But there are not
two dozen women in the audience.

When the convention assembled the next
morning, the committee on resolutions was
not yet ready to report, and the time was oc-
cupied in making speeches.
A majority and two minority reports We're
finally made by the committee ON res, ltions
The minority reports, made by Jones, OF New
York and Blanchard, of Michigan, were read
first, the report of Blanchard meeting with
enthusiastic approval for the stand he took
i'll favor of temperance and woman suffrage.
Jones report differed from the majority re
port in demanding that while Congress shall
issue full legal tender notes, they shall he US "a
in payment of government debts, construct
ing public improvements, TO reduce tranSpor-
tation charges, conn ting pu' lie buildings
building n navy and for such other purposes
rs Congress is now asked toappropriate money
for until the surplus labor of tn. country is
employed, profitable home market for pro-
ducts of American farms and workshops
created, and business done on cash basis -
Mr.. Jones did not insist on his views, and
there was no split ON the platform.
The majority report contained a lengthy
preamble setting forth the objects of the
Greenback party and what it had accom-
plished, saying that Congress has repealed
over Sl2, 000,0 annual taxes for banks
throwing this burden upon the people to pay
the interest thereon.
The substance of the platform adopted is as
follows: 1t denOu.ices US dangerous to our in

A WOMAN HANGED.
Execution of a Husband POisOner
in England.
Sbrieking With Terror as She is
Dragged to Her Doom.

A horrible hanging occurred few days
since at Lincoln, England The victim was
Mrs. Lefley, who poisoned her husband last
fall, and was duly convicted and sen
fenced at Lincolnshire Sessions She
had, however, acquired some money
by her husbands death, and she spent
it literally in pressing an appeal to the home
secretary for Communication of sentence to
Imprisonment for life, or if that were refused,
for a reprievc of few weeks. To the very
lost moment Mrs. Lcfiley believed that re
prieve would be granted and she was not by
any means reconcled to her fate.
When she first saw the hangman in the pin
ioning room she shrieked with terror and
tainted. She was restored to consciousness
and the hangman began to prepare her for the
gallows by piniOning her elbows and fixing
a strap loosely around her skirts to be
frightened about her ankles after she
had walked to the scaiTold. Mrs. Leffley
fought desperately to prevent these re
straints and gave utterance to frightful yels,
which were heard even outside the massive
walls of the Jail. On the way to the scaffold
the screams of the condemned woman were
almost maniacal, and drowned the voice of
the prison chaplain who was rcciting the
prayers for the dying.
When she was placed upon the trap she
continued to scream and incoherently avow
her innocence until the white cap was pulled
down over her mouth and stifled her voice.
Then the trap fell, the woman was dropped
into the well, and in n few minutes was pro
nounced dead The usual inquest was held.
and the corpse was buried in the Jail yard and
covered with quiclllime.
Contrary to the usual custom, no represen.
tatives of the press were admitted
20 the Jail yard, and very contra
dictory stories are told by the medi
cal men and other official witnesses of
the execution. All the facts as stated above
are admitted by all the witnesses, but some of
them state in addition that Hang
man Binns was unnecessarily and barbar
ously brutal in his treatment of the
unhappy woman. According to Their
statements he knocked her down in the
pinionng-room and choked her until her face
was livid in order to stop her screaming. Tho
London papers generally condemn the cxclu
sion of the press, and say that this dis
graceful scene furnishes another and quite
sufficient reason for the dismissal of the
drunken brute, Binns, from his office of Off
cial hangman.

Market Prices.

Dogs bring all kinds of prices, accord
ing to the fancy, but there is a general
rate which may be given as follows:
Black, andtan terriers range from $50
to $50, and Scotch terriers are little
lower. Skye terriers average $25. Italian
terriers range from 500 to 500. Spitz are
Sl5 to $50. English pointers are S2j to
$40, and water spaniels are the same,
while King Charles spanicls are some
higher. Siberian bloodhounds are $2j to
500, and English mastitfs are $40 to 500.
\ friend of mine paid $25 for pup of
this breed few weeks ago, and is pleased
with his purchase. ST. Bernard 5 are $50
to SO. Fox hounds average $40. Shep-
herd dogs are about the same. These
pric eS however, gives one no idea of the
fanciful value of the show animals. Here
are five dogs, which are rated at the
modest sum of $40, 900 each-(whv do
they not make it Il million 0-while a
score Of Others are valued at s.. 600.
One tiny pet wears Il gold collar enriched
with precious stones, and there is Mr..
Gilbert's pet Blenheim, which. weighs
four pounds, and 81 600 a pound would
not buy him. President Arthurs mastitf
attracts much attention, and so do the
champion coolies, near whose bench one
sees the prizes they have taken at other
exhibitions. Jay Gould's settlers are also
an interesting feature. Gould never hunts,
but being now the possessor of a grand
estate he finds such animals necessary to
its completeness The entries at this
show are 1, 40, and as this is an increase
of 200 since last year, it is evident that
the dog fever is on the advance.
