maker OF six acres OF his land In 1877. and
that the defendants by assignment held this

OF this lease the stone. coal. and gas

PRADO PAYS THE PENALTY.

The Murderer of Marie Aguetant Meets
His Death In Paris with BravadO.
Prado. the mysterious Mexican who MUIR
dcred Marie Aguetant January IA. 1886. was
guillotined at Paris. France, in the Place de
Ia Roquette. He protested his innocence OF
the murder to the last and decIArAA asainSt
tho injustice Of this world. He refused to
disclose his real name. and the mystery
which surrounded his life is probably
buried forever. A Paris special says:
About two hundred prominent journalists,
politicians, and others witnessed the execution,
which was mpleted in fifty seconds without
the slightest mishap. Prado, in walking from the
prison to the guillotine showed no signs Of fear.
His arms were pinioned tightly behind his back,
beyond the perpendicular. His apparel con-
sisted OF a heavy wooden undershirt and dark
trousers. The shirt had been roughly cut away
from about the neck and shoulders. In front
OF the guillotine a board stood upright to a
he light OF i've feet. As Prado neared this four
bury men, dressed in blouses OF blue and
white striped ticking, sprung forward, seized
against the upright board, flung themselves
upon him, and by their weight bore the
struggling victim, face downward, to the top
Of the low platform. The board worked on a
swivel and ran on rollers. In an instant IL had
DO N wheeled forward until the neck OF the man
was under the glistening knife. M. Deibler, who
had stood like man OF stone ut the right Of the
guillotine during this scene now reached for
ward and fixed a wooden collar over the back of

There is much obscurity as to the
circumstances under which the thistle
was adopted as its emblem by the
Scottish nation, but the following is q
tradition: Queen Scotia had led her
troops In well-fonght field. and when
the day was won retired to the rear to
rest from her tolls. She threw herself
upon the ground, when, as ill-luck
would have it, an envious thistle had
elected to grow at the very spot select
ed for her repose. Whether the fair
Amazon foughtin the national costume
know not, but the spineI Of the
offending herb were sufficiently power
full to penetrate the skin in very
painful manner. A proyerbial philoso-
pher mot Mr.. Upper, / think has
declared that "He that stitch on net
ties riseth up quickly" and the same
remark holds good of thistles. Queen
Scotia sprang up and tore the thistle
up by the roots. She was aboutto cast il
from her with military but unladylike
expression, when it struck her that the
prickly plsnt would henceforth be ever
associated in her mind with the glori-
Gus victory which she had just gained.
Her intention was changed. She placed
the thistle in her casque, and it became
the badge Of her dynasty. Notes and

AN HISTORICAL STUDY.
The Inaugural Address OF President Elect
Harrison.

Inc inaugural u
Harrison.
An indianapolis, Ind. special says that
Gen. Harrison is getting up an historical
inaugural. He has given the Cabinet less
thought than is generally believed, but has
decided the attitude he will assume upon
the great issues. He has heard the presen-
tation of all sides of the Southern question.
Upon Territorial admission his record is
we'll known. Regarding tariff revision he is
rooted and grounded in protection and is
quoted as not fully satisfied even with the
Senate bill In reality he is probably not
in favor OF thrift bill at all. as an eco
nomical measure. but rather is apt to come
out tiat-footed for the expenditure Of the
surplus in internal improvements. which
would go further than any other step
toward smashing the solid South. The
inaugu al address will. as Secretary
Halford's scant talk indicates. be an his
torical study written from the centennial
standpoint. 1t will be n careful review of
tho nations development since the in
auguratlon Of Washington. marking the
birth and growth Of great movements and
great issues. 1t will trace the influences
contributing to bring about the present,
and set forth the conditions that confront
u.s." thus leaving the field ready for the
President elects solutions in his message
to Congress In its extra session.
