The execution of John Waisenen, at
Duluth, last Friday,is the first instance
in this State since 1858 where q con.
victed murderer has paid the penalty of
his crime on the gallows. Previous to
this but two legal executions have &C.
CURED in this State, the last being that
of Aug. Roesch of Lafayette, Nicollet
county, who was hanged in St. Peter,
March 6, 1868. Had our present laws
been in force in 1876 there would most
assuredly have been hanging bee
about the time the Younger gang was
convicted. The execution of Waisenen
attracted much attention and a number
of Sherids from various parts of the
State went up to Duluth to see for
themselves how it is done.

accounts correct to cent. Mr.. Bickel
was one of the most faithful and con-
scientous officials the government has
ever had, and he has just reason to feel
proud of his record.

Union soldier of the late war pension

long as the Brigadiers hold the balance
OF power in Congress. 1t is a waste OF
time and paper to circulate petitions OF
such nature at this time.

AN EMBALNfER,s EXPERIMENT.
1t Led to the Identification of Defaulter
Who had Killed Himself.

CHICAGO, Jan. Post office Inspector J.
d. King has told reporter of the singular
sequel to a defalcation about a year ago.
Frank 6. Martin, about . years of age, was
Assistant Postmaster at Pierre, Oak. He
obtained leave of absence for month and
never returned. 1t was not discovered until
long after his departure that he was an en-
bezzler to the amount of $1,000 in money or
ders. These he had taken from the back part
of the book, filed them out to suit himself
and had cashed them at several places where
he stopped in his flight.
DESCRIPTIONS of him were sent to the inspec-
tors and police all over the country, but his
whereabouts remained a mystery. a few days
ago Inspector King paid a flying visit to
Kansas City, aud accidentally learned that
dead man was lylRg at an undertaking estab-
lshment. He had been dead five weeks, and the
body had been preserved at the solicitation of
an ambitious embalmer who had recently
commenced business, and who desired to use
IL as subject for advertising his process. The
body had been found between two haystacks
short distance out of town, and it was evil
dent that the man had committed suicide.
The stranger wore the regulation cap of a
brakeman on the Santa Fe Railroad. On his
person were found a small account book and
TWO photographs Of lady. When they were
shown TO Mr.. King he remembered that Mar
TIN had formerly carried the photograph of an
estlmable young lady of Reedsburg, Wis. A
complete Identification of the dead man
quickly followed 1t was Frank g. Martin.
inspector King telegraphed the news to the
young mans father, Rev. John Martin, St.
Helena, Neb. But for the brilliant idea Of
the enterprlslng embalmer the suicide would
have found an unknown grave. He was at
one time assistant cashier of the First Ma

DIR. TALMAGHs BIRTHDAY.
A Unique Volume of Letters from Dis
tingnished Men Given Him.

DR.. T. Dewitt Talmage was SO years old TO-
day, says a Washington special of Jan. 7.
When he awoke, to his complete surprise, his
wife presented him with a nicely bound COPY
of letters and poems from distinguished men
in token of the day. DR.. Hall SAYS that DIR.
Talmage does a work which no one else could
do. Beecher hopes that, like Moses, Talmage
will look over into fifty more years, but, un-
like Moses, be spared to go over and possess
them. DR.. StOrrs says that DR.. Talmage has
now got within decade of that age which
he found last summer to be the only age of
true wisdOm-the age of 63.
Paul II. Hayne sends poetic greeting from
the "new born South in this fair morning of
her happier fate" Whittier found him a
genial companion in the New Hampshire
mountains, but says: II have never heard
him preach and am not acquainted with his
writings and probably we should not agree in
doctrine or method" John Sherman writes:
''He is a man of remarkable powers and is
worthy of any mark OF respect that his friends
can show" SpurgeOn says: II am aston
ished when God blesses me, but somehow
] should not be so much surprised if he
blessed this man." Martin Farquhar Tupper
considers him a "SOn of Thunder" p. T.
Barnum says: "Dr. Talmage is an original
genius, and possesses several rare functions
which tend to make him powerful, and lend
power to his preaching" one of these being
his preaching of "The TerrOrs of the Law,

BATEMAN's CLERK.
The Witness Examined as to His Ideas
of an Oath,s Responsibility.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-In the Swain court
martial to-day a decision was rendered to
adhere to the previous rule concerning the
testimony Of Mr.. Bateman's clerk, and only
admit as evidence knowledge gained by Gen.
Swain previous to the suit on the due bill.
The question of the advisability of the testi-
mOny of witness Deaker was taken up and
argued at length. At the conclusion of the
argument, witness Deaker was called and in
terTOgated. He was asked:
"W nat is your understanding of the Obiga-
tion of an oath?" and replied: II understand
that the court represents the majesty
of the republic, and any oath il
may choose to prescribe for me l recognize
whether it be by the Supreme Being or by any
one else. ! do not know that I can answer
the question any more intelhgentlY."
In reply to further inquiries he said: Il
understand that l am here to tell the truth"
and when asked what penalty he would incur
by disregard of the truth said: 81 am here to
discharge my duty" Having given these
answers to the courts questions, the witness
was allowed to retire, and without consulta-
tion the court decided that his testimony was
lnaQmisSiblp.
