from the Newcastle Eng Chronicle:

during the time that Vebmgericht held it's

forming part of the apparatus, still remains in
the wall. In passage adjoining, there is a well
or pit in the floor. now boarded over, originally
covered with a trap-door. The prisoner upon
whom doom had been passed. was led into this
passage and desired to kiss an image of the Vir-
gin, placed at the opposite end: but sooner did
his feet rest on the lrap-door than it gave away
beneath his weight, and precipitated him
to great depth below, upon a machine
composed of wheels, armed with lancets by
which he was torn to pieces. This dreadful pun
ishment was called the "Baser de la VERGE"
and the fatal pit, with its trapdoor and gillette

There is an odd bunder in DIR. w. Russell's
article on Sandringham in Harper's Magazine.
He states that the Prince Consort bought the

advice of Lord Pamerston The Prince Consort
died in 1861, and had more to do with the
purchase of Sandringham than had George w.

of Lady Palmerston's sons and he was anxious
to sell it. so Lord Palmerston recommended the

affair was a rank job, for worse bargain

was in the most wretched order in
every respect, and the house inadequate to
the Princes requirements The income has

A Bridegroom of a Day.

The New York Herald relates dramatic Incl
dent In real life which is seldom exceeded in
tragic intensity by writer's of romance. Pau
Loeblen and Jennie Loux were married. The
following day. after Loeblen had been called tc
perform work of more laborious character
than usual, he retired to rest The bride made
inquiry concerning his whereabouts When
told he was up stairs sleeping she ran up gaily
and knocked at the door. There was no response
to her repeated rapping and she pushed the
door in
Paul! Paull' she cried, but there was no re-
spouse.
She entered the room and was surprised to
find herself in darkness and oppressed by a
strong odor of gas.
'lt is me, Paul, she cried stop your fool
ing"
Still there was no response The happy bride
ran over to the bed upon which her husband lay,
and, taking hold of him, shook him soundly.
Get up, you lazy fellow" she said, playfully
turning his face to her. She placed her lips to
his cheek, but drew back quickly with cry of
terror. His cheeks were cold as death. The
people in the house, alarmed at the wife's cries,
ran hastily upstairs with light. Loehlen was
found unconscious, but his body was still warm.
A physician was called in, and restoratives were
applied at once but all to no purpose. Ten
minutes after the wife's discovery her husband
of twenty-four hours was dead man. He had
died from the effects of gas which had escaped
in quantities from a defective gas-pipe in the
room.

A Matter of Choice.
Atlanta Constitution,


1t is a genuine pleasure to read an able Amer
lean editorial the Anglo Russian situation
The trouble is there are too many able editorials.
The fact that they differ widely is another slight
draw back. According to one view of the I'M
pleasantness, it is simply impossible for Russia
to begin and carry on war, because she has no
money and no credit. This view has impressed
MANY people very forcibly But it is completely
annihlated by the position taken by another
class of able editorial writer's, who hold that
Russia viii plunge into war for the very reason
that she is without money and credit 1t is urged
that Russia has reached such point of despera-
ton that peace is in.olerable and war without
terror. The Car thinks that foreign war may
induce the conspirators who seek his life to post
have nothing to lose and possibly something to
gain. Under these circumstances Russia will
force a loan or secure it upon even the hardest
terms in order to fight. These Numerically OPP
bosite views are expressed in leading editorials
of equal ability. 1t is case where the readers
pay their money and take their choice.

Why the Governor Did Not Accommodate
Him.
Greenfield Republican.

Greenfield Republican.
Mr.. Jno. j. Cooper, when he went to FIJI his
new bond as Treasurer of State in the sum of
$3.50 900, very foolishly promised some of his
bondsmen that their names should not be given
to the public. He even went SO far as to ask the
Governor to suppress Them as some of the gen.
tlemen were afraid that the fact of their sigma
lures to the bond would injure them in business.
And the Governor said, Now, John, would
like to do this for you, and will if can. Fill
your bond. and bring it in, and in the meantime
l will see what l can do about hiding it away"
And John went out to fill his bond, and the
Governor went hunting in the statutes of the
State to find pigeon-h0e IN law into which he
could cram Johns bond. where the public could
not see it. The very first section he struck was
section 1898, Revised Statutes Of Indiana which
reads as follows: Section 1898. Whoever, being
an officer or his deputy, having the custody of
any record books, document, paper or proceed
ing specified in the foregoing section, steals,
fraudulenty takes away secretes, withdraws or
destroys any such book document paper or
proceeding filed or deposited with him, upon
conviction thereof shall be imprisoned in the
State prison not more than fourteen years nor
less than two years, fined not exceeding 81. 900,
and disfranchised and rendered incapable of
holding any office of trust or profit for any de-
terminate period"
So when John come in to file his bond few
days after. he said well Governor, can you
suppress herr And the Governor said: 'Why,
yes, John, can do this to accommodate you;
but did it ever strike you what the penalty
would be for such action? And then the Gov
ernor showed him section 1888, and after John
had read it in great amazement, the Governor
said Now. john / can do this if you insist
upon it. and 1 won't mind the fourteen years
Imprisonment, nor the fine of $1,000, but I'll
just be double dinged if l want to be disfran-
chised or rendered incapable of holding Office"
So the bond was not suppressed, aud the pub
lie know who the bondsmen are.

Hon. will Cumback in Colorado.

Congregational Church, last evening, to listen to
Hon. Will Cumbacks popular lecture on 'The

indicates, is devoted to that al.too-nnmerous
horde designated by the various titles of 'They

scardal-mongers and backbite generally.
The eloquent gentleman handles these pests
without gloves. and if any of the ''1nvisibles'
present last evening, it is safe to guess that
they felt anything but comfortable under the
scathing rebukes administered to them and their
ilk.
