Capital Punishment by ELECTRICITY.

The Electrician
Ihere is now being exhibited at Leipsic
an apparatus for puttidg criminals to death
by electricity So long as it is found
necessary to retain capital punishment on
our statute books, it may well be that the
electric method is the most merciful and
least repulsiye process that could be de-
Vlsed for carrying the sentence into effect
lut II such means are ever adopted in this
country the details will certainly not be
carried out in the theatrical manner which
commends itself to the Leipsic amateur.
In this apparatus, behind the chair in
which the condemned man is to take his
seat-and by means of which, as we need
not explain in detail, his body is placed in
circuit with a powerful coil-there stands
conventional figure of Justice with
bandaged eyes, holding the balance in her
left hand and the sword in her right. The
criminal having taken his seat. the proper
functlonary is supposed to read over the
record OF his crimes and the sentence of
the law. This ceremony completed, he
folds up the document and places it in the
scale pan, the arm of the balance descends,
closes the circuit, and all is over.

An old gentleman at Tewkesbury for
many years rode blind horse. Though
slghtless, the steed, which had probably
been good fencer once, had learned to
jump whenever he received a hint that he
was desired to do So One day, after run
with the hounds, some hunting men were
talking in the bar of the hotel about
Jumps, and the owner OF the blind horse
stoutly maintained that that animal would
Jump over single obstacle which none of
their hunters would leap. He was ready
to back his words with money, and as the
result of the conversation he made four
bets OF 60 each on the subject Very soon
soon the four sportsmen repented of risk
ing their money SO rashly. The owner of
the blind horse put down Straw in the
street, and this constituted the ssobstacla.
He rode up to it, and the blind steed, re-
spending to his call, rose at the rasper,n
clearing it with bound four feet in the
air, and covering - feet of ground at
least None of the other four horses
would rise at a straw. and the owner of
the blind horse was e20 the richer.
