TORN TO PIECES BY HORSES.
A Ghastly Tragedy in the Paris Bas-
tile Less Than a Century and
q Half Ago.

One Of the most CHASTITY scenes which
was ever witnessed in this house Of hor-
rors occurred in January. 1867, when
poor. mad Damieps attempted to stab
Louis XIV with a very small penknife.
IN. de Machault had him seized and
Immediately tortured. His legs, we're
burned with,a very red-hot iron.' Still
Damiens would not confess to. an at
tempted murder. He had only intended
giving the king a salutary lesson. The
fearful question Of the boot was applied
to the miserable man, and ''thsre were
twenty other executioners, present from
various places in tue provinces" The
ghastly finale of the tale is told at great
length, and a horrible picttife it is
which Colonel Bingham gives Of the
execution Of less than century and a
half ago at the metropolis of culture.
The "leering twenty executioners, the
silent priests, the heartless brutes who
applied the question" the spell-bound
multitude, and the center Of interest,
the victim, with agony and undaunted
courage mingled in his drawn features.
The boiling fluid has been poured
into. the wounds, which a strong, stout
executioner 'has had great difficulty in
inflicting by tearing away with his pin
GERS pieces. of flesh, and then
The Horses, each held by. an execu-
TONER. now gave a pull. and the same
ceremony was repeated a quarter of
an hour afterward, then again and
again without success. Damiens raised
his head and looked around. 1t was
found necessary to add two more horses
TO those harnessed to the thighs, which
made six horses, but this did not sue
ceed. at last Samson, the executioner,
seeing there was no hope Of making a
finish Of it, sent to ask the gentlemen
Of the Parli liament if they would not
like him to cut Damiens to pieces. Or
ders, however, were given to make
fresh efforts; but the horses turned res
tive, and one of those harnessed to the
thighs fell. After several more attempts
and an application. Of the knife-the
details are too CHASTITY for translation
the terrible tragedy was brought to a
close by the trunk of the victim being
burned. The hideous spectacle lasted
sixteen hours.

LINCoLN's MILITARY INSTINCT.
What Gen. sherman says.--NIilitary
SCience in UntechnicaI Tcrms.

science in UntechniCal Terms.
He never professed any knowledge Of
the laws and science Of war. yet in his
joyous moments he would relate his
large experience as q soldier in the
Black Hawk war of 1882, and as an Of
ficer in the Mormon war. at lNauvoo,
in 1846. Nevertheless, during tile pro-
gress Of the civil war he'evinced quick
comprehension Of the principles Of the
'art, ,'' though never using military
phraseology. Thus his letter. Of April
10. 1862, toi Gen. Mcclellan, then be-
sieging Yorktown. exhibits a precise
knowledge Of the strength. and purpose
of each of the many armies in the field,
and Of the importance of ''concentric
action In his letter of June s, 1868,
to Gen. Hooker, he wrote:'
''In one word, would not take any
risk Of being entangled upon the river
(Rappahannock), like an OK jumped
half way'eYer q fence, and liable to be
torn'by dogs front and rear; without
fair chance to gore one way, OF to kick
the other.''
Agan, June 10. 1863, writing. to
Gen. Hooker: 81
"If left to mo, / wSiaditi not go south
of the Rappahannock upon Lees NOV
ing north oft. If you had Richmond
invested today, you, would not be able
to take it in twenty days. Meanwhile
your communications, and with them
your army, would be'ruined. I think
Lees army, and not Richmond, is your
objective point. If he comes toward
the Upper Potomac, follow him on his
flank and on the inside track, shorten
ing your lines while he lengthens his.
If he stop, fret him and fret him.
This is pure science, tho gh the lang
guage is not technial.
1t Is related by Gen. Grant in his
memoirs that when he was explaining
how he proposed to use the several
scuttered armies so as to accomplish
the best results, referring to the forces
in western Virginia, and saying that
he had ordered Sigel to move up the
valley of Virginia from Winchester,
make junction with Crook and Averell
from Kanawha, and go toward Salt
vile or Lynchburg- Mr.. Lincoln said,
"Oh, yesl see that. AS we say out
west, If man can't skin, he must hold
leg while somebody else does"
In his. personal interview with Gen.
Grant about March s, 1864, Mr.. Lin
coin recounted truly and .manfully that
''he had never professed to be mill
tary man, or to know how. campaigns
should be conducted, and never wanted
to interfere in them; but the procras-
tination Of commanders. and the pres
sure from the people at the north and
congress, Which was always with him,
forced him to issuing his series Of mill
tary orders, one, two, three. etc. lie
did not know but all we're wrong, and
did know that some we're. AL he
wanted or ever had wanted, was some
one who would take the responsibility
and act, and call on him for all the as
sistance needed, pledging himself to use
all the power Of the government in rem
dering such assistance"
at last he had found that man.

Origin OF "Fake."

The word stake" has been used for
fifty years at least in the theatrical pro-
fession to express the idea of make
shift. Thus, to- flake a dress" is to
get up y costume which is not correct,
but which can be made to serve its
purpose on a pinch. Costumes Of this
kind are called "fakements. TO stake
part" ID to play it imperfectly, with
out proper knowledge of it's lines. In
the old days Of stock companies COM
mon expression among actors who knew
they were imperfect in the text or dress
Of their characters was: &c Well, 12
O'Clock has got to come, ana T will fake
through it somehow" Men much
given to this sort Of thing were known
in the profession as fakirs, and regret
to say there are good many of them.

of our friends in Sacramento feel a
deep interest in the meetings being now
held in Marysville, and will be glad to
know that their prayers for this place are
being answered. One of the ministers
said last evening that he believed nearly
all the young people in the children's meet.
ing yesterday afternoon, who were not
Christians before, were converted, with
perhaps one or two exceptions. 1t was
certainly most impressive service.
In the evening the Presbyterian Church
was crowded in every part. l was told
that many who were not in the habit of
going to church were present. Most of the
audience remained until ten minutes to 10
o'clock. The pastors feel much encouraged
found one man in the meeting last even
ing who said he was converted in Union
Hall, San Francisco, when / was there
Before that he was a very wicked man.
Since then he has lived a Christian life.
l hope we shall see some of the Sacra-
mento ministers and friends up here.

Surgical instruments Recovered.

Officer Sullivan went down to Port Costa
yesterday morning, and returned with
William Lysle, whom he arrested at that
place on the charge of having stolen set
of surgical instruments from the Office of
DR.. G. l.. Simmons, Jr., about ten DAYS ago.
After committing the theft Lyse went to
Port Costa, where he was arrested on a
charge of stealing valise belonging to
man named Price. The instruments were
found in his possession, and Chief Dillman
received a communication from the officers
at Port Costa, asking if he knew ANYTHING
about them. 1t was then arranged that. if
the man was not convicted there, the au-
thorities were to notify Chief Dillman. and
he would send for Lysle. Price
recovered his valise and dis
appeared, so that the Port Costa officials
could not prosecute. Yesterday morning
Lysle was discharged, but was Immediately
arrested by officer Sullivan and brought to
this city. While at Port Costa be claimed
that the instruments belonged to him, and
that he was physician. AS be once
and of good personal appearance, the off,
GERS did not know but his statement was
true. On the way to this city, however.
Lysle confessed to the officer that he had
stolen the instruments from DR.. Simmons
office. He said be had been at work at the
railroad shops, got out of job and went
up to the doctors office to borrow dollar.
Finding no on there and seeing the case of
instruments on the table he took them and
disappeared.
