SHOCKING EXECUTION.
Two Desperate Murderers Gull
lOtined i'm Paris.
One Fights For His Life Under
the Knife.

The execution of young Beriand and Dore
two accomplices of the woman Berland in
what is known as the Courbevoie murder.
morning. The usual crowds of people had
gathered during the night and early that
morning on the famous Place de la Rouuette
where all Paris executions by the guillotine
take place. The officers managed to main
tain a praiseworthy degree of order, in view
of the mixed, rough, law-defying concourse
Of people they had to deal with
DOre, when he was aroused at an early
hour, rubbed his eyes, scOwled at his yisi-
tors, and then, guessing the object of their
coming, he relapsad into state Of sto1id in
difference, and seemed, to all outward ap-
pearances, to be utterly Indifferent as to
what was taking place. He dressed himself
calmly and, under the circumstances, quick
~, and thanked the prison officials in firm,
low voice Tor the kindness which they had
shown him. Dore however did not reply
to the words addressed to him by PAbbe
Faure, the welLknOwn prison chaplain.
Dore left his cell and the prison few min
utes later with extreme composure, but he
faltered and trembled as he reached
the shadow OF the red-paintel up
rights OF the guillotine and caught sight
OF the deadly shining knife. The execution
ers helped him up the steps to the platform
OF the gulllotne, and quickly threw him
upOA VIC OttScuIe, Strapped MIN down, SIQ
his head into the lunette and in second or
so the knife fell, and DoreS head rolled into
the sawdu5t-flled basket
Young Berland died in an entirely differ
ent manner. When he was awakened he
showed considerable amount of bravadO
and remarked, with a hideous smile. mo
more card-playing for me-" In conversation
with the prison officials and executioners
while his toilet was being made Berland
showed that he resented his mothers re-
prleve, and that he was much disappointed
that she was not to die with him. When all
the preparations for death were made Ber-
land walked jauntily across the prison yard,
and maintained his air of bravado and cool
impudence until he reached the platform of
the guillOtine. just as the executioners were
upon the point of throwing him upon the
bascule, or sliding plank, to which he was
to be strapped previous to being pushed
beneath the knife, Berland made a
desperate resistance, and a terrible
scene took place in full view of the thousands
OF eager spectators. In spite of his strug-
giles, however, the executioners and guards
held Bertrand upon the scaffold and eventually
threw him upon the fatal plank, slid him be-
meath the grim uprights, and as the young
criminal was writhing furiously, the knife
fell and Berlands head rolled into the
basket
No sooner had this occurred than the
crowds, with a great rush, broke through the
Gordon Of troops and police, and, rushing
up to the scatfold, gloated over the blood
stained apparatus, some of the most horrible
taxing handfuls of Sawdust away with them
as souvenirs of the executions.

Among the curiosities of history is tie
oft-recurring fact that many of the great
wars of the past have been indirectly
brought about by trifng circumstances.
One of the wars between the Turkish
Empire in the zenith of its splendor and
the Venetian Republic was brought about
by the desire of the Sultan's physician
to marry a rich Spanish heiress. The lady
aid her mother escaped to Venice, and
the Sultan sent an official after them 10
bring them back to Constantinople. The
Venetian Repul lie was at first willing to
comply with the Sultan's request, but
the ladies succeeded in making their es-
cape to Ferrara, and from thence to Ly-
ons, In France. The Porte complained
that the Venetian Republic had not used
due diligence, and ultimately a terrible
war broke out over this trivial circum-
stance. A contemporary historian says:
1.-The agent Of the Venetian Government
at Constantinople informed the council
that the reason of the dispatch of the
Turkish Envoy to Venice was, to require
on the part of the Grand Signeur, that a
Spanish lady, named Mendez, with her
daughters, should be delivered up to the
Envoy, and by him brought to Constan-
tinople. The common rumor was, that
the Lady Mendez had promised to marry
one of her daughters to the son of a man
named Rodriguez, doctor to the Grand
Signeur. The lady, however, changed
her mind, and fled with her daughters to
Ferrara, where they remained under the
protection of the Duke for some time. 1t
Is now said that they have gone from
Ferrara to Lyons in order to realize funds
invested there by the late husband OF the
Lady Mendz. The emissary Of the
Grand Signeur was by no means content
with the loss of his prey, and there was
trouble in consequence" This informa-
ton is contained in letter written from
Venice in July, 1549, by NJ. Morvillier
to Henry II. of France, the object being
to induce the King to use his authority
for the purpose Of sending the Lady
Mendez and her daughter to Constanti-
nop!e. The King sent to Lyons for this
purpose, but found that the ladies had
again taken flight, and were supposed to
be at Antwerp.-Americap Register.
