Hugo's Account of an English Lady's
Visit to the Paris Executioner.
M. Samson lived in the Rue du Marais
du Temple, in an isolated house, of which
the jalousies were always closed. He re-
ceived many visits. Numbers of English
people went to see him. When visitors
presented themselves at M. Sanson's they
were introduced into an elegant reception
room on the ground floor, furnished en-
tirely with mahogany, in the midst Of
which there was an excellent piano, al
ways open and provided with pieces of
music. Shortly afterward M. Samson ar
rived and asked his visitors to be seated.
The conversation turned upon one subject
and another. Generally the English peo-
pie asked to see the guillotine. NJ. San.
son complied with this request, no doubt
for some consideration, and conducted
the ladies and gentlemen to the adjoining
street, (the Ru Albony, think), to the
house Of the scaffold manufacturer.
There was shed at this place, where the
the guillotine was permanently erected.
The strangers grouped themselves around
1t and 1t was made to work. Trusses of
hay were guillotined.
One day an English family, consisting
of the father, the mother and three pretty
daughters, fair and with rosy cheeks, pre-
scented themselves at Sanson's residence.
1t was in order to see the guillotine. San
son took them to the carpenters and set
the instrument at work. The knife fell
and rose again several times at the re-
quest OF the young ladies. One of them,
however, the youngest, was not satisfied
with this. She made the executioner ex-
plain to her in the minutest details what
is called the toilet of the condemned.
Still she was not satisfied. At length she
turned hesitatingly toward the execu-
TONER. Monsieur Samson" she said.
"Mademoiselle. said the executioner.
"What is done when the man is on the
scafold' How is he tied down'' The
executioner explained the dreadf-i .--.
ter to her and said, "We call that put
ting him III GlIe oven.'' "Wel, Monsieur
Samson" said the young lady, II want
you to put me in the oven"
The executioner started. He made an
exclamation of surprise. The young lady
insisted. 81 fancy" she said, ''that I
should like to be able to say have been
tied down on it," Samson spoke to the
father and mother. They replied, GAS
she has taken q fancy to have it done do
It," The executioner had to give in. He
made the young miss sit down, tied her
legs with a piece of string and her arms
behind her back with rope, fastened her
to the swinging plank and strapped her on
with the leather strap. Here he wanted
to stop. 'No, no, that is not yet all, {" she
said. Samson then swung the plank
down, placed the head of the young lady
In the dreadful neck piece and closed it
upon her neck. Then she declared she
was satisfied. When he afterward told
the story Samson said, 81 quite thought
she was going to say at last, That is not
all Make the knife fall, "~-Thtngs seen
