Swiss SUPERsTITOE.-An extraordinary
instance of superstition is reported from
the Swiss village of st. Fiden, in the can
ton of St. Gall. The keeper OF the GENE.
terv remarked that one particular tomb
stone was thrown TO the ground every
night, though he put it back in the perpen'
dicular position every morning. The IN
habltants of the village, who are very cred.
ulous, believed that it must be the work OF
"spirits," but the solu.ioo OF the mystery
was. as may be imagined, q natural one
It appears that three men living IN the vii
LACE had formed an association Tor the pur-
nose of "raising" money after recipe
which they had disooveied IL work on
sorcery by Alber.gs Maguus. They be-
lieved that by throwing down tombstone
at midnight several times IN succession,
depositing under it thirty Two 5-tranc
pieces, and reci.ing certain nominations,
tie thirtY-two pieces would be converted
into 5 OOO0O0 francs After hiding the
money they retired to INIT away from the
village. and remained there for wet

A New WATCH.-A Russian Jew, Solo,
mon Schisgal by name, and only l9 years
OF age, the son of matchmaker in Ber-
ditschen, has invented watch which goes
by electricity, and which is declared by
Herr Chwolson, Professor of Physic at the
University of st. Petersburg, to be an in
strument of wonderful simplicity and
value. In an article in the No,ooSto, de-
scribing the invention, which he believes
will revolutionize the manufacture of
watches, Professor Chwolson says: The
watches are without any springs snd con-
sist solely of two wheels. Besides being
true, they have the advantage OF the Sec
ond hand moving in. single momentary
leaps, as is usually the case only in very
costly watches, and which is of the utmost
utility for astronomical observations.
These watches can also set in motion q GER
tain number of watches of the same con-
struction, so that they all keep exact time.
The invention has convinced me that
watches can be used for the purposes of
telegraphy.

In this paper l have just given a
rapid glance at pioneer journals and
journalists. | have been as exact as
memory Will permit, for there is no re-
liable data here available to enable one
to do full and accurate justice to this
subject. Yet, it Is one well worthy of
serious consideration by some capable
writer who has the time and the oppor-
tunity to deliberately treat it. | have
probably preserved some facts in this
article which would be of assistance in
such n work. The time is quickly pass
ing away when those who took active
part in early California journalism will
be able to contribute personal reminis-
cences of that remarkable era. IL all
the pioneer newspaper men, still to the
fore, would give their early experiences
and contribute the facts, touching the
press of that period, with which they
are familiar, a very valuable and read
able volume might be compiled I
trust that such a work may yet make its
appearance. 1t would be a very useful
and valuable piece of California history.
The man who accomplishes this task
Will enter upon a field OF wide POSSIBLE
tiles. He VIII be able to show that Cal
ifornia was well served in her infantile
years by the men who directed and
moulded public opinion through the
pioneer journals. In doing Justice to
those men, he viii be compelled to say
that they performed their difficult and
hazardous duties with ability, honesty
and courage. Nor Will it be alone sufH-

SHRIEKS ON THE SCAFFOLD.

On Monday, at Lincoln, England
handsome Mrs. Leffley, who poi
soned her husband last fall, wa.
hanged under sensatio aal circum.
stances. She had acquired som.
money by her husband death, arc
spent it literally In pressing an an,
peal to the Home Score airy for g
Communication of sentence to i'm
pris onment for life, or reprieve O.
Few weeks. TO the very last she
believed that reprieve would be
granted and chung to life wit a
desperate tenacity, which was in
tentely painful.
When she first saw the nanpman
in the pinioning room, Mrs. Lefty
shrieked with terror and tainted.
She W soon restored to conscious.
nese, however, and Binns began
pinioning her elbows aud fixing q
strap loosely around her skirts to be
frightened about her ankles after she
had walked to the scafold. She
fought desperately and gave utter.
ance to frightful yells, 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 reciting the prayers for the
dying. When che was placed upon
the trap she continued to scream,
and incoherently avowed her limo.
cence until the white cap was pulled
down over her mouth and stifed
her voice. Then the trap fell, he
woman was dropped into the we'll
and in a few minutes was BRO,
nounced dead. The corpse was
buried in the Jail yard and covered
with quicklime.
Contrary to the usual custom. no
representatives of the press were ad.
mitted to the Jail yard, and very
contradictory stories are told by the
medical men and official witnesses
of the execution. Some of them
state that Hangman Binns was
unnecessarily brutal in his treat
ment of the woman: that he
knocKed her down in the pinioning
room and checked her until her face
was livid in order to stop her agoa-
lied screaming. The London papers
generally condemn the exclusion
OF the press, and say that this dis.
graceful scene furnished another
and quite sufficient reason for the
dismissal of the drunken brute
Binns from his office Of official
hangman.
