Death by Electricity.
WHAT THE JUDGE WILL HAVE TO SAY WHEN Pl

WHAT THE JUDGE WILL HAVE TO SAY WHEN PRO-
NoUNCING SENTENCE.
The change in the mode of punishment by
death for murder committed in New York after
the first of January will necessitate change in
the wording of the death sentence, saws the
st. Louis G'obe-Lenocrat At present the Judge.
after commenting on the character of the
crime, generally addresses the condemned man
in words like these:
"The sentence of the court is that YOU be
taken hence to the county jail, and there con-
fined until the - day of - and that on
that day you be taken thence to the place of ex-
ecution and hanged by the neck until YOU are
ead-dead-dead. And may the Lord have
mercy on your SOUL
Under the new dispensation the Judge. after
gancing at the latest book on electricity, will
we presume, say something like this:
The sentence of the court is that YOU be
taken hence to the county Jail and there con-
fined until the - day of - and that on
that day you be taken thence to the place of
execution and laid upon table suitably pre-
pared for the purpose; that an electrode con-
nected with the positive pole of the electric
current be put on your head, and an electrode
connected with the negative pole be placed
against your back between the shoulders: that
a dynamo generating an electromotive force
OF sufficient number of volts to extinpuish
life be employed to send current of electricity
through these electrodes. and that this current
shall be kept in action until YOU are dead
dead-dead. And may the Lord have mercy on
your SOUL"

The Pretty Girls of Ireland.

Correspondence of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Irish ladies are perhaps the prettiest in
the wide world, always excepting our fair cous-
inr, the Yankee bellies. Their features, il is
true. are less regular than those of English
women, but they triumph over them with their
soft. creamy compilations, their large, appeal
ing gray-blue eyes and long lashes, and a sort
of indefnable charm and demure CO luetry, yet
thoroughly modest manners. Every third Irish
woman" wrote the queen in her diary when
last visiting the country, lis beautiful, and
some Of them remarkably so. Their hair and
eyes are simply lovely" Apart from personal
charms, it is impossible not to admire the gen.
tie grace and dignity Of the wives and daugh-
tiers Of the Emerald Isle Go where you will.
l defy you to find an Irish woman who is other
wise than naturally distinguished-the very
barmaids being superior in bearing and speech
to many English duchesses. The list Of beau
ties is a long one, and looking back we can re-
call histories of the extraordinary loneliness of
the three Miss Cummings. who. when they came
up to London, had actually to be escorted in
Hyde park by guard of soldiers sent by the
order of the secretary of state, so overwhelm-
ingly was the crowd pressing upon them.
Then, there was Lady Denny. Lady Cahir,
Lady Clare, and many others, to say nothing
of the present young duchess Of Leinster. one

kissing in England.


Nicolaus de Bethlen, pupil of DIR. Basire at
Alba Julia, visited England during the winter
of 1864. and relates the following in his "Au-
photography: being unaware Of the fact that
it was customary in England to kiss the cor
ner of the mouth of ladies by way of saluta-
ton, instead of shaking hands as we do in
Hungary, my younger brother and behaved
very rudely on one occasion. We were invited
to dinner to the house of a gentleman of high
rank and found his wife and three daughters,
one of them married standing in array ready
to receive us. We kissed the girls. but not the
married ladies, and thereby greatly offended
the latter, but Duval Ga French Protestant
clergyman apologized for our blunder, and
explained to us that when saluting we must
always kiss the senior lady first and leave the
girls and children to the last; after dinner il
was considered sufficient to kiss the hostess
only in recognition of the hospitality received
Thereafter, he adds, he and all his travelling
companions, with the exceptions of one who
could not be prevailed upon, complied most
scrupulCusly with the rules of etiquette. Beth
len moved in the best society in London. He
was received by Charles II. lin publica solemn
audientia' surrounded by throng of noble
men, he called on the Dux Eboracensis Ruper-
tus Palatinus Rheni, and many noblemen of
high rank. At Oxford he was entertained and
made very much Of by the professors, who, he
informs us, spoke Latin with difficulty. In fact
everybody in England, he tells us. considered
it great torture to be obliged to speak Latin,
and he therefore compelled to air his
broken English, which he had picked up at
Leyden under the tuition Of poor Englishman.

Renaissance of Thackeray.

his spectacles and his picturesque white hair.

to the genius of Dickens at its close and I can

Strangely enough, the exposure comes from
Boston. The subject of the adulteration of
food products is trite but never threadbare
one, but heretofore certain high class goods
nave been free from any suspicion as to their
integrity. Massachusetts has passed very
stringent law upon this subject and DIR. Abbott.

the rigid enforcement of it. The penalty of
discovery is the exclusion of the aduiter-
ated article from the Bay state. Particular
attention has been directed toward the
examination of goods shipped from this city.

Starting the New Year Sober.
FEWER DRUNKEN PEOPLE ON THE STREETS YES

FEWER DRUNKEN PEOPLE ON THE STREETS YES
TERDAY THAN USUAL ON SUCH OCCASIONS.
Yesterday was an unusually quiet day for
holiday. While some of the saloons kept "open
house" the custom seemed to have, in most
cases, fallen into state of inocuous desuetude,
and free egg-nog was not so plentiful as on
former New Year days. That may account for
the fact that there was not the usual number
OF DRINKS locked up last night. During the
day there were very few intoxicated persons on
the streets, but after shutdown the number in
creased, but even then there were not so many
seen as is usual on holidays. During the twen-
tv-four hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning
there were only sixty-two arrests made in the
entire District; of this number sixteen were
''drunks." The largest number of arrests made
IN any precinct was in the first, where sixteen
were reglstered five of them were .'drunks."
In the sixth precinct dozen arrests were
made, seven of them ''drunks" In George
town there were but two arrest. one of them
being for intoxication. This morning there
were thirty-tive prisoners in the dock of the
Police Court, only seven of them being females.

FEMALE FACES.

FEMALE PAGES.
From the January Forum.
That which struck me most in America, from
first to last is the total absence of stupid-look-
ing faces. All are not handsome, but all are
intelligent and beaming with activity. In my
| opinion, 1t is in this that American beauty
mainly consists. In the large cities of the east,
the first thing which caught my attention was
the thinness of the men and the plumpness of
the women. This seemed to hint that the
former lived in furnace of activity and the
latter in cotton wool This impression soon
deepened into a conviction. II seemed to me
that her lot was near to being perfection as
| and earthly lot could be. A respect amount
| ing to reverence is shown for her, and it ap-
| pears to be the chief aim of her protectors to
surround her with luxury and make her path
through life a sunny one.
| So far as adding to her mental and physical
| grace goes, this plan of making every woman
| an uncrowned queen has answered completely.
Seeing her high position, she has set herself to
work to I'LL it becomingly, and it is the cultiva-
! ton OF Americas daughters, it is their charm
ing independence and a consciousness Of their
| power, that make them so attractive and rem
| der American society so delightful to the
stranger. In their treatment Of women, the
Americans might give more than one lesson to
the men OF the old world, even to the French
men, who in the matter of politeness, lives a
good deal. am afraid, on the reputation of
his ancestors. The respect for women in
America seemed to me to be perfectly disn-
terested, purely platonic. In France, this
respect almost borders on gallantry. A French
man will always stand back to let woman
pass, but he will generally profit by the occa-
| sion to take good look at her.
II an outsider be competent to form an opin-
| ion, venture to say that the American woman
| does not render to man a 1.-THE of the devotion
she receives from him. The French wife re-
| pays husbands devotion by protecting his in
| terest-an American too often repays it by
| breaking into his capital

Officer Lane, as the supposed murderer Of

his good character and that he could not by
any possibility have been at Charlottesville al
the time of the murder.

who murdered Policeman Seal yesterday was

She passed down TIN street all the while look
ing for aP officer. and near street she met Off
cerW. J.Kenney and called his attention to the
man who was at that crossing the street
as If with the intent to head her off. When he
saw the officer he took the opposite direction
The officer pursued and captured him finding
that his clothing disarranged He became
very indignant, saying he only wanted to have
some fun with the girl The officer took him
to the patrol box and called the police wagon
While waiting for it quite a crowd gathered
some of whom wanted to punish the prisoner.
The officer, for some reason, put O charge of
drunk and disorderly against him for the time
being. The prisoner gave the name of w. d.
Stewart, and his occupation as that of clerk,
and left $40 collateral for his appearance
He forfeited that amount in the Police Court
