EXECUTION BY KNouT.
The Most Horrible Instrument OF Torture

The Most Horrible Instrument OF Torture
Ever Devised by Man.
With this horrible instrument an ex
perisnced executioner could insure the
death Of the victim in very few strokes.
and when sentence was passed order
ing the infiiction Of large number 1t
was 30 perfectly understood what was
intended that In such cases the execu-
TONER was frequently bribed by the cul-
pritor his friends 10 exert his whole art 80
as the more quickly TO release him from
the torture. So, again, when the Emperor
Nicholas, anxious TO clear his country
from the reproach OF being the Gland Of
the knout" to Western eyes, pompously
proclaimed Its abolition, he was careful
to retain the power Of infioting corporal
punishment in manner compared with
which the knout itself was merciful
The knout could compass the
death Of Its victim with some half
dozen strokes, but before the same
end could be attained by its substi-
tute, the stick, 1t was impossible
to say how many blows might not be re-
quired. An eyewitness Of one Of these
executions has described 1t as being
more hideous than any thing that could
be conceived. The criminal, having
been convicted Of the deliberate murder
Of one of the Emperor's Ministers, he
well deserved to die, and 1t was de-
termined that die he should; but capital
punishment and the knout had both
been abolished; so, in order to attain
the end in view, the wretched man was
sentenced to 5000 blows OF the stick,
which no human being could receive
and live. The execution took place in
the public hay market; and when, after
bearing 1,400 or 1900 blows, the victim
ell, an unconscious mass of bleeding
iesh, he was bundled into an ordinary
hay cart, and, with pieces Of
iay sticking into his gaping wounds,
covered over with some rough sacks, he
vas jolted off to the hospital and never
leard Of again. The surgeons were not
likely to be anxious to cure man
whose death they knew to be intended,
md even a feeling OF humanity may
AVE prevented them from wishing to
ecall poor wretch to life only to en-
bile him to undergo further torture, till
10 should be released by death.-Edin-

He Couldn't Eraetlr Tell.

A late respected general manager Of

peared at the repair shops Of the com.

the work Of one Of the mechanics, re-
marked; "Young man, It seems TO me
you are not doing that correctly" The
workman looked up with supreme con-
tempt at the stranger and replied
promptly: "It's none of your business,
you blamed IDIOT" This nettled the
old man, and in voice trembling with
rage he paralyzed the mechanic with
Eyes, sir, 1t is my business. I'm the
manager Of this road" EXCUSE me,

not aware Of the fact; but you see when
a darned fool comes around here we
can't tell whether he Is the manager or
nobody" The old gentleman saw the
point and passed on.

and he was gone.
"Mad," said my father, with a heavy
sigh. Ellis trouble has turned his
brain. But he will think better of it."
At that moment the nurse came hurry

ear. My fathers face turned deadly
pale. He clutched at the table to sup
port himself, then staggered from the
room. My mother was dying!

OBITUARY.

Died, from consumption, at Potts Station, June 30th, 1890, Mrs. Arka- delphia. coasort of MT. H. D. Brown, and daughter of the late Darling, and Mrs. c. l.. Love, aged 36 years and l3 days.
 She was prostrated with relapse from humps more than 16 months past, and has never been we'll since. For the last three or four months her friends would not have been surprised at her death at any time. Although her sufferings were severe and pro- tracted she bore them cheerfully with out murmuring. She embraced the Savior and united with the Presby- terian church at Mt. Zion in 1871. and lived consistent life till her death. Alter enjoying such advantages as the common schools of the country afford- ed, her parents sent her one year to a High school at Searcy. In 1873 she was happily united in marriage to Mir. II. D. Brown.
 By her death her husband is left in charge of a family of interesting children, six girls and two sons. The burden of her thoughts, the chief anxiety of her mind in her last sick ness was abo ut her children. She was loving and sympathetic wife, ten der and affectionate mother, yet obedi- ence to parental authority was the order of the house. While then her husband, children. aged mother and many friends feel an irreparable loss In her removal, they have the great com- fort to believe their loss is her gain. She was not only submissive to the will of God, but expressed desire to depart, and be with Christ which is far better. ''Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord" NJ. OATES.

 U. R. Stanley, a nice appearing young man, arrived in town last week and began to make arrangements for the delivery of lecture on his travels in Africa. A few days before his ar- rival MT. J. H. Gamer received let ter from A. s. Caldwell of Eureka warning him of an imposter delivering lectures on Africa. MT. Stanley proved to be the man referred to and when confronted with the Caldwell letter weakened and attempted to leave town without paying his board bill. MT. Hall was on the eiert however and se- cured a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles in lieu of the money. Stanley was at one time general secretary of the Young Mems Christian Association at Eureka, but gave up his job to enter the lecture field. His testimonials are forgeries and he has never been in Africa. He some- times travels under the alias 'sJ. 5. Rudolph" A sharp lookout should be kept for him.

Keep Your Lamps Burning.

For the benefit of persons doubt ing the efficacy of lamps as a pro- tecton against the rayages of the boil worm we reproduce the follow ing communication on the subject from Texas farmer to the Louis vile Home and Farm.
 "I had some large lamps made and some small ones; in fact l tried four slzes of lamps and pans after the first year and abandoned the large lamp and pan and used the small brass or tin lamp with a pan two and half inches deep and fifteen inches in diameter. In 1882 l made bale of cotton to the acre. each year I increased the acreage planted in cotton and kept the lamps burning. In 1887 1 had 160 acres in cotton and I made 1S0 bales. In 1888 made l42 very heavy bales on about the same acreage. After the persistent use of the lamps for some years, and having averaged at least one good bale per acre, l can say positively that 1 have not been in jured by either worm in that time. I find the small brass lamp, or tn lamp, will attract the miller as af- fectually as torch, any dark night. when the moon is shining brightly nothing will attract them. fill the lamps half full of oil, as that will usually burn ten hours. If they are filled full it is necessary to pass around in the morning to extinguish them. I use 100 lamps to l60 acres, and am governed by the signs of the worms about the time to begin the use of them, but at any time after the fifteenth ofJune will pay to put them out. When l catch only two or three flies at night, stop few days or light up every other night, Some dry seasons I have extermina- ted them with ssventy-fiye gallons of oil, but when 1 notice the army worm fly, the lamps are used every ul2uk duu SOubihuS bO ehN hASs VI October, or late enough that they cannot increase in force enough to to eat the crop before frest. Such seasons as have been threatened with the army worm, l have used 150 gallons of oil. It is cheaper to take the barrel to where the oil com pany has tank, and have the bar rel filled; it has cost me seven dol lars per barrel in that way. In new barrels delivered at depots, it is generally worth eighteen cents gallon. The lamp to attract and the oil to Kill them, is quite an eflctual way to destroy them. The pan fiil- ed half full of water, gives room for flies to sink to the bottom of the pan, and the oil on top continues to kill the flies all night. When my lamps were first used, l sometimes caught 200 to the lamp, each night, and the number has diminished each year since they were first used, and think in a few more years they will be entirely exterminated from my fields.
