"Oh, would some power the giftic gie is
70 see ourselves as others see lis.
Thus sang d poet long ago.
But sang with thoughtlessness we know;
Else he'd not wished for gifts that day,
Which Ill onr joys would drive away.
And hold before our troubled gaze
The hideousness Of all our ways,
Robbed Of the cloak scll-love doth give,
WHO then ON earth could bear to lives
And with Ills faults stampel on the eye,
Who could lie calmly down and diea
Filled with disgust, and spite, and hate
We would our wOrthiness berate,
OR trembling, hide ourselves away,
And wait in awe the Judgment Day.

New York, Aug l9.-The eX
ccution BY electricity Of the MUIR
derer Kcmmler III Auburn, has
been the chef topic Of discussion
all the week. Notwithstanding
the fact ;tat the law folblds the
publication Of the details Of such
executions, the newspapers issued
on that day devoted the principal
part Of their space 70 the subject
and flooded the streets with "EX,
tras" all day long. One pupor
ISSUED so many Of these extras
that it HAD to pumbor them, The
last of which | noticed beng
styled .'Kemmler Extra No. g.
1t goes without saying that the
details Of this "secret execution
were as fully set forth as il it had
taken place on the steps Of the
City Hall. In their comments
thenewspapers almost unanimous
" declare that the execution wqs
brutal and that the new method
should be Immediately abolished.
AS all the experts agree that the
condemned man felt no pam, and
as everything was quiet and or
derby, am unable to see where
the brutality came 10. The exc
cution was certainly not as smooth
a. it might have been, but who or
what was at fault no one seems to
know. The experts blame each
other and the newspapers blame
the method. When doctors dlsn-
gr, who shall decide?
