BAR5ARIC VENGEANCE.
A Instance orthe Horrors Of an Execu
 tion in Tononfn.

bfon m LonQufn.
 1t would be hard to exceed in the way
 of horrors the account given in the
 Tonqufn papers of the execution of the
 notorious ipsurgent Van by the French
 authorities The condemned was pa-
 raded through the streets of Hanoi in a
 wooden cage like a wild beast, save that
 his neck was bent with a huge bamboo
 over the inscription upon his breast:
 "Vou Van Van, Traitor and Perjurer"
 Mul.-tudes of people thronged the
 streets and gathered round the scaffold,
 which the condemned man mounted
 with manly step. Here his sentence
 Tn French was read aloud, and then in
 terpreted to him. It is curious detail
 in the scene that the official intrusted
 with this duty actually carried in his
 body at that moment an unextracted
 bullet received from the pistol of the terrible Van in an encounter Icng ago. The twain recoc- fized each ether. The eulprIt's turban and upper clothing were then pulled off, leaving his breast naked and revealing scars inflicted both
 by ball and saber. A compassionate as- sistant cut of his long hair and stroked nam as he bent his head to the block, and Van lay motionless. The execu- tioner stood on the left, gong rang out thrice, and before the echoes died away, the ssber flashed through the air and the elnsurgent's head rolled away to the edge Of the platform It was picked up and thfOwn to the mob almost before the glaze of death had come over the eyes, and barely escaped the disgrace oi being. seized by parish dog. The crowd, hitherto silent. invaded the scaf- fold with shouts, the only motionless objects being the executioner, who wiped his sword on the trunk of the redoubtable Van. NJ. Sombsthay, the Minister un- der whose supervision the execution was carried out is, it is said, to have the Legion of Ronor for his work, and the executioner's sword has already been presented to him with great pomp.- Boston Herald

THE SAW-OUST SPINDLE
It's Old as the Hills, But stin Pays Hand
 some Profits.

It's Old as the Hills, But still Pays Hand. some Profits.
 Every community has percentage of people who are on the alert for some dishonest method of making money. To such every rascally device that promises quick return and large profits Is more fascinating than the most legit- innate enterprise that calls for honest endeavor. The so-called saw-dust Swindle has been worked for years on those who prefer to direct their talents to rascality. The swindlers send out circulars to persons who are expected to be influenced thereby, stating in most mysterious terms that counterfeit green backs which can not be detected by the most experienced cashier may be pur- chased at very low price. The cir cular pledges the recipient in the most solemn manner not to divulgc the se- cret, and calls on the Almighty in every line to witness the sincerity of the offer and the truth of the statement that the spurious notes are as sure tc pass current as the standard coin of the Nation. If the recipient of the circular be up to the required .grade of dishonesty and credulity he opens nego- riations for the purchase of the spuriou, greenbacks and gets robbed. The ad- dress of the swindlers is always faise. and they obtain their mail in < rounda- bout way through accomplices who warn them of danger. Of course no counterfeit money is returned the dis honest negotiator for his remittances. and having made himself criminis by trying to perpetrate felony, he is deterred from lodging a complaint against the swindlers. The term saw dust swindler originated in the fact that the early perpetrators of the scheme. who practiced their wiles di- reetly on their victims and not througt the mails, handed them carefully-sealeJ boxes in return for the money paid for the spurious notes. The victim was not allowed to open the box until out side the swindler's office, and then it was too late to obtain revenge, for the thieves had fown.-San Francisco ChrOnicle

 The ship had to put in at the Cape of Good Hope, and we arrived of Table Bay toward evening. As we rounded Green Point dense fog suddenly came on. and we could not see fifty yards from the ship.
 The cable had been got up, ranged along the deck, and bent on to an anchor; the courses were clewed up, sail shortened, and under the three topsails the captain, keeping the lead going, steered as near as he could guess for the center of the hay, intending to drop anchor when we'll in

The anchor was instantly let go. the ship swung round head to wind. and i'm mediateiy we heard the roar of heavy surf breaking on the shore. how far off we could not tell, but it seemed terribly near. The water shOaled rapidly. to- ward the stern, and all passed an un- comfortable night, for if the wind should get up, our fate would be sealed.
 The early morning light showed us our perilous positions instead of steering for the center of the bay, we had been standing over to the low. sandy shore opposite Cape Town. alI but for the lowing of the COW, accidentally heard by passenger, in less than two minutes we should have been on shore.

In this performance the sympathetic voice and the
