R,rcution by EIeclricily.

The prisons at Auburn, Clinton and Sing
Sing, n. Y, have each received the neces-
sary machinery for the execution of con
demmed criminals by electricity. Three
dynamos are used with each machine, Civ
ing IA current seven times stronger than is
needed To produce death, A great deal of
is necessary for the criminal
who is to he executed by this process, so
that the long preliminary agony so much
objected to in executions by hanging does
not seem to be avoided. The murderer is
to be seated in large oaken chair and fit
ted with a metal cap covered with sponge
saturated with salt water on his head ; he
will also wear a heavy pair of shoes, in
which are sponges saturated with the saline
solution. Head aud feet thus equipped with
electrodes, To which wires are attached, the
prisoner is strapped to the chair Then the
executioner turns ON the current, and in a
quarter of minute all is over. But it is
easy To see that during the performance of
all these mechanical details there is ample
time for the dreadful scenes which some
times occur at hangings before a culprit
takes "the fatal drop"
The one important point in this new re
form is that the law allows no one but GER
tain officials TO he present, and forbids the
publication of details in the newspapers.

value apart from its ostentatiousness
From its highest balcony there is visible a
beautiful panorama Of 20 miles Of hills,
rivers lakes, towns and hamlets, which no
painter can place on canvas, no poet tran
scribe in verse. The summit, at a total
height of nearly 1000 feet, or nearly double
that of the Washington monument, aud
nearly 600 feet higher than st. Peters in
Rome, will he utilized for scientific pur
poses, the public being permitted to ascend
only about o-thrds of the way in ele-
vators, which can provide transportation
for %, 600 persons daily. The prices vary
according to the height chosen. There are
stairways for those who prefer the older
mode Of ascension, and restaurants and sa
looms will enable pleasure parties to spend
days in the air. The observatory will be
employed for experiments touching spec
troscopic and telluric rays for vegetable
chemistry, meteorology, atmospheric elec
trcty and optical telegraphy. 1t is hoped
that the lights Of the sun and stars can be
analysed, and that solar and lunar pho
tographing apparatus can also be used with
novelty and advantage, especially when
eclipSes take place near the horizon The
total weight Of the tower is $500 tons and
its cost 81 900 900 -Prris letter.

Walked at my side and talked, aud oft did I'LL
The gracious hours that friendly twilight bring
With toll, naught questioning If gOodo iil
We're hers soft lullabirs she cruOned at eve.
Like pOppies breath failing down teudcrly
On Infant ryelids that gay sports would leave
To nestle close and sleep upon my knee
Her life was colurless and commonplace,
Devoid of poetry | thought It 50.

That grew through common duties; now know
Since she is gone from me aud all my cares,

The case of Bonner and Eddy VS.. Hearne,
from Anderson county, involving the con-
fl OF as to the receivership of the later
national and Great Northern Railway
company, was decided yesterday in the
supreme court. The court held that the
district court of Smith county had juris-
dictlon to appoint the receivers, and, hav-
ing done SO before the appointment was
made by the district court of Anderson
county, the first receivership of Bonner
and Eddy holds good The proposition
commended for was that the district court
of Smith county was without jurisdiction,
and, therefore, the appointment was void.
The supreme court holds, nevertheless,
that however irregular the appointment
may have been, it was not made by q
court without competent authority, and
therefore is not void. The Smith county
court having jurisdiction, another district
court could not set the ppointment aside.
There was really no issue as to the regu-
larity or irregularity of the appointment
properly presented before the supreme
pOurt
