The telegraphic announcement 81
Henry Ward Beecher's death was o o
contradicted, but there is no doubt
that the great orator thinks he is near
his end. He expects to die of an
apoplectic stroke before long. That
has been his conviction for a year.
and he has talked it to his intimate
friends repeatedly. In SO thinking he
has been influenced by his physical
temperament. his failing health, his
old age and his family tendencies. In
conversation on the subject he has
been cool, calma and cheerful, but utter
" hopeless Of surviving theyear. The
trustees OF Plymouth church haveper-
suaded him to begin a vacation at
once, and MI. Beecher has decided to
90 to Europeo on June IL, accompanied
by his wife. His advisers adjure him
TO do no speaking abroad, but to rest
entirely, but he says that political
soratory in England would be recre-
alton, and he has already written to
Glaastone-with whom he has for
twenty years been in occasionalcorre.

At tho graduating exercises at West

the seat of honor, with Generals Sheridan
and Merritt on either side. Gen. Merritt
introduced Brig. Gen. Gibbon. who made
the principal address:
1t abounded in recollections OF his cadet
life and the pranls no used to play. He
never considered harmless professional
''deyeling'' injurious. He referred to his
classmates as he knew them here and again
IN after life. Fancy, if you can the scene.
Ii q sorcerer had suddenly appeared and
announced his intention OF distributing be-
forehand the prizes OF the future to the
then cadets. fancy him placing his
hand on the shoulder OF Fitz
John Porter and saying, you will be
the great military martyr OF your age.
After rising to the highest rank in the army
by distinguished gallantry, you will be
stricken down by a heartless calumny, dis
missed in disgrace from the service and
made to suffer years OF agony and shame.
But don't hang your head. Remember
that truth is mighty and will prevail; that
you live in free, just country and whenth
light OF truth shall illuminate the page Of
history and show the true character OF your
actions and the vile means used to destroy
you, your countrymen will do you justice;
and remember, above all things, that one
who is acquitted by the deliberate judg.
ment OF a Grant, a Schotield. II Terry ana

the charges OF any accuser. One cannot but
be struck with the way in which the dice

The recent death of Major General
George H. Stannard Of Vermont,
brings prominently before the public a
splendid military record that had been
almost forgotten outside of New Eng
land. When the presidents procla-
nation was issued in April, 1861,
General Stannard was the first Yer.
monter to volunteer for war duty, he
immediately telegraphing Gov. Fair
banks the offer Of his services. OF the
second Vermont regiment organized
in May, 1881, he was the Colonel; also
of the ninth, and then brigadier general.
He participated in nearly all the bat
Ties Of the Army OF the Potomac, re.
,eiving dangerous wounds and losing
anarm. HI was adoor-keeper at the
national capitol at the time of his
Heath. The house of representatives
voted his family, who did not reach
Washington before his death, six
months pay and funeral expenses.

RELICS OF BARBARIsM.
Good Friday Repentance IN Next
oo-Punishing the Wicked
est Man.

Mexican Letter in Kansas City Times
Once a year, on Good Friday, the
Mexicans select victim for the
whipping, and sometimes more than
one. The selection is made by taking
the worst one of the lot. This is de-
termined by all making a confession
before a priest ofthe years misdeeds,
and the one decided to be the worst
sinner is selected as sort of Escape
goat" to bear the torture.
The martyr is prepared at the
church by being stripped nearly
naked and by being prayed for. Then
he is made to carry a heavy cross
full ten feet high, with the cross
arm of five or six feet in length, and
made of wood six to eight inches IN
diameter. He carries this cross for
considerable distance TO place Sc
lecled for the purpose, where there is
a larger cross erected. Arriving at
the upright cross, he carries his cross
around it and is then permitted to
lay il down. Here the business takes
turn not so agreeable TO the candi-
date, for he finds crowd of worship
pers surrounding him. Two of these
worshippers are armed with large
cactus bushes of what is commonly
called stree cactus" or "cane cactus"
OIL account of its being used to make
walking sticks of. This cactus grows
to the height of three or four feet and
is armed with thousands of needle
like spines fully all inch long. The
main stalk is as large as a mans
wrist at the ground, branching off
as it rises, and each branch having
many ateral branches from three to
five inches in length, all fully armed
with needle-like thorns, which are
very poisonous, the prick causing
very painful, fostering wounds in a
short time.
Selling one of these cactus bushes
by the butt, and which has been trim
med for the purpose, two begin the
ceremony by striking the candidate
on the naked back and marching him
around the cross, the rest keeping up
continuous shouting and singing,
with music by a sort of wind instru-
ment. Having whipped him around
until their bushes are broken up,
they form a procession and march
him back to the church door, where
he is stopped. Here, with sticks like
laths, the adhering pieces of cactus
are scraped off of him and placed on
the ground in the door where he is
next to enter, walking barefocted OH
the pieces of cactus, After this the
victim is allowed to be taken to his
home to get we'll or die, as the case
may be. He is not allowed to pull
out the thorns until they come out b!
fostering, and it frequently occurs
that six or eight months elapse be-
fore he RECEIVERS.
