gray headed, dased and shaky old man
of dxty.
II was In the year 1885, when Frank
lin Pierce was president, that he was
90 unfortunate az TO kill two men In q
drunken brawl, not knowing what he
did. For this crime he was sentenced
to death, but the penalty was COM
muted to imprisonment for life. A
pardon now restores him to O world
In which he finds himselfa stranger.
He has had the strange experience
of taking In thirty three years of the
worlds history all at once. Ever
since his release he has been walking
about New York and Brooklyn, gaz-
Ing, listening, wondering. When he
put on the prison uniform thirty
three years ago, the newspapers were
full of the trouble in Kansas, and soon
after occurred the assault upon Charles
Sumner In the senate chamber and the
raid into Virginia by John Brown,
followed by the election of Lincoln
and the four years of war.
OF some OF these events he had
heard mention In the prison, but he
knew nothing concerning the details
Of the great struggle, and scarcely
anything at all Of such world noted
affairs a. the French and German war.
The cities he once knew on the
shores of the Hudson and the East
river, the old New York and the old
Brooklyn, where are they? They are
gonel New cities have arisen In their
stead, connected by cable, telephone
and bridge, lighted by electricity,
pervaded by elevated railroads, extin-
guished by the steam fire engine,
raised into the air, story above story,
through the invention of the steam
elevator, and clad in cheaper clothes
by the universal sewing machine. The
bridge over the East river astonished
him most, Is well Ii may, for II aston
ishes every one who crosses lit he
has time to bestow q thought upon 1t.
AS this man walks about the con-
gregation Of cities that make up what
the outside world thinks OF as New
York, he sees many improvements,
and perhaps, upon the whole, he sees
general improvement. lie sees a
country in which there is not a slave
Possibly life Is q little easier, a little
pleasanter and little safer in New
York than 1t was in the year 1855.

Polite Ministrants Of Death.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
There were formerly as many exc
cutioners in France as there were
courts of appeal, and each one was
called after the name of the city where
his court was located-"M. de Paris, .
IN. de Lyon" etc. writes q Paris
correspondent Since 1872 there has
been only one chief headsman. The
license OF the last of the tour genera
tiOns OF Samsons was revoked In lS47
for putting the guillotine in pawn one
day when he was short. His successor
was Heindereich, who was transferred
from Amiens. While Samson was q
slovenly man, Heindereich looked like
gentleman. He was six feet tall,
with cold, calm air, a clear eye, and
wore his white hair, whiskers and
mOustache cut close. When he "oper-
ated" he always had on dress suit
and white necktie. After each
execution he went to ST. Ambrose
church and had mass said for the man
whom he had just launched into eter-
nifty. Heindereich had strong hand
and an imperative voice, and when he
laid his hand on the patients shoulder
there was no possible chance OF resist
ance. Ileindereich perfected the gull
lotine in several points and abolished
the high platforms. He died In 1872,
after fifty years. service.
Roch, the next headsman, was
iovial man. He was the son of an ex-
ecutioner, and aided his father and
uncle, who was also dc Ia pdrtie, for
all the executioners belong more or
less intimately TO the same family,
marrying and intermarrying among
themselves. Roch was of average
height, thick set, had gray side whis-
kers and wore little gold rings in his
ears. When he performed his official
duties he wore frock coat and looked
like a workingman dressed out In
Sunday clothes. 1t was Roch who
discovered the present plan of binding
the criminals. at Is for my personal
convenience that l invented that
fashion, and no one ever complained, !"
he used to say. Roch was very proud
of the guillotine, and called 1t his
"jewel." When his duties summoned
him away from Paris the first thing
he did after the guillotine had been
dismantled was to send telegram to
his wife, telling her how the affair had
passed OFF, whether there was a large
crowd, and the hour she might expect
his return. Nine. Roch had q high
idea of her h nsband's professional skill.
When he died, she exclaimed: "For
work quickly and properly done, they
will never replace my poor dead hus-
band" Roch died in 1879.
Deibler, the present executioner, is
a dark-complexioned man of about
fitty, very gentle in his manners and
very uncommunicative. His greatest
dread Is the journalist. This Is prob
ably because he has been frequently
criticised for want of cleverness In his
work. Although he has been execu-
tioner or assistant since 1858, he has
never acquired the skill of his prede-
cessors. Deibler married the daughter
of the Algerian headsman, and has two
children. He lives In q modest apart
ment near the st. Louis hospital, in q
house adjoining the police headquar-
tiers of the Tenth ward. The execu-
TONER receives yearly salary of
OIL 200 and travelling expenses, and, as
q perquisite, his eldest son is exempt
from military service.

Mrs. SwintOu and Joshua Mann on the
charge of conspiracy in palming of on
Hamilton, as his own offspring. a baby
that had been purchased for the purpose,
she iercely declaimed against Hamilton's
friends, and asserted that they have con-
cOcted the story to ALLEVIATE her husband
from her. Subsequently she calmed down,
and upon Learning that her confederates
had made a confession she broke down
completely and throwing herself on the
bed mOaned and sObbed for two hours
Then the suddenly started up and de-

Women who wish 70 preserve the slfu-
ness and contour Of their figure must begin
by learning 10 stand well, says Dress.
This Is explained to mean the throwing
forward and upward Of the chest, the fat
tening of the back, with the shoulder blade
held in their proper places, and the definite
curviDg in the small OF the back. thus
throwing the whule weight Of the body
upon the hips. No other women hold
themselves 50 well as the aristocratie
English women. Much Of their beauty lies
in their proud carriage. the delicate erect
nees Of their figures, and the fine poise OF
their heads.
The same aristocratic carriage Is within
the reecn OF any American girl who takes
the pains 20 have IL: il is only the question
OF few years OF eternal vigilance, never

Report OF the Progress Of the Work by the
Acting Director.
WASHINGTON, Sept 4-J. c. PiIling,
acting director OF the geological survey,
has made q report TO the secretary OF the
interior OF the progress made during the
month OF July in the survey for the irrigA-
ton and reclamation Of arid lands in the
west The total area surveyed was $50
square miles, the operations being contin-
ued in California, Colorado, Idaho, Mon
tAna, New Mexico and Nevada. In the
hydraulic division one field party In Cali
fOrnia commenced the survey OF Clear lake
with q view TO ascertain its capabilities
as a reservoir site, and ascertain
the best means of storing the water
and applying il 70 the lands below
IT'S outlet. Bonner lake, near Truckes in
Western Nevada, Is being surveyed. Ii is
thought by the construction of reservoir
two miles below the lakes outlet q large
body of water can be stored at very moder-
ate cost. The work on Rio Grande section
section was confined 10 the careful survey
of very large reservoir site which seems
practicable by the construction of a dam
on the Rio Grande river near FL Paso. This
project, the report says, Is one of profound
interest and perhaps Will involve interna-
tiOnal questions Care has been taken 10
avoid any action which would complicate
such questions II they should arise.
