THE OLD TENOR.
nY RICHARD BURTON.

Did you say the singing was only fair7
Sir, IL the chance was given me
To change from him on the stage up there
Straight TO an angels SYMPHONY
We'll, it might stagger my poor old brain,
But think, on the whole, back should come
To hear these worn, sweet notes again,
And SEQ yon form that is cumbersome.
The why Of it ALP 1t fell, my friend,
matter of fifteen years ago.
A certain man was nigh his end,
Lying rackcd in a fever glow,
And n fine yosng star, in his flush of fame,
Slept to his bedside, took his hand,
And tried to waken lfo's spent flame
BY singing songs Of the lovely land.
God, how he sang! till tho sick man turned
His face from the wall and took deep breath.
And said, as his eyes with new light ycarned,
That life ran sweeter far than death
If one might hearken to strains like this,
And he swore he would live in deaths de-
spite.
Then sleep dropped down on him like kiss,
And he woke with his blood all cool and
right.
Perhaps you can fancy who was the man,
And who is the singer there on the stage,
And why listen and sob and can
But love his faults and his hints of age.
Some folks will say, when they pay their coin.
The pcrfectest singer is their choice,
Where youth and art and genius join,
But like man behind the voice!

are allowed to starve. If they have
not sufficient blankets they are
to freeze to death. There are differ
ent methods of execution. One is
what would correspond with our
hanging, but it is different. The
victim is put against post and a
rope is thrown around his neck.
Then it is pulled until the breath
of life departs.
"Another form of execution is
that of cutting to pieces by inches
which is done when the sentence OF
death is for the murder Of father or
mother or some other near relative.
First one ear is taken off, then the
other, next the tongue is taken out,
and so on. A third is death by
starvation. I have seen a man
Gagged in the public streets and
allowed to end his life, not being
permitted to touch either food or
water. Sometimes a small boy
will bring him little opium, which
helps to lessen the suffering and
brings about more speedy death.
1.-THE most common form is TAX
ing off the head by a sword, and
the extraordinary nerve of these
Chinese is shown in this more than
any other. l have seen two men
beheaded, one placed before the
other. It took three strokes of the
sword to kill the first, and while
the operation was going on the
second knelt down with his neck
outstretched waiting his turn.
Thinking the process was slow he
turned to the executioner and
asked if he were going to be mnch
longer with the first. Then when
the executioner came to him he
stretched out his neck again and
waited for the blow, which COM
pletely severed his head from his
body.

ANDERSON, Ind. Dec. 11.-But one
small dog has been eaten by Sam
uel Burnett, consumptive who
was at deaths door, and now he is
getting fat and healthy. Young Bur-
nett is but 20 years old, and is a
son of James Burnett, a blacksmith
of this city. Samuel has been for
years prsdisposed to pulmonary
diseases, and during the last year
has rapidly declined. He has
been for several weeks very low
with consumption. Having read
in the papers of a Columbus girl
who was about to die of consump-
ton being restored to health by
eating a dog, the young man had
letters addressed to her inquiring
as to the truth Of the published
statement. She replied that she
had adopted dog meat diet for
some weeks, and that she was
about cured. With this assurance
Burnett resolved to try the remedy
as last resort.
The parents procured healthy,
fat dog and had it killed and
dressed. The meat was then pre-.
pared, and the boy commenced
eating it short time ago. He has
partaken of it regularly three times
a day since, with wonderful results.
His appetite is being restored, his
respiration is stronger, and there is
a stonger tone to his whole system.
The young man says that the taste
of the meat pleasant and resembles
in flavor the flesh Of sheep. The
meat is boiled as beef would be,
ant, he eats both flesh and broth.
The dog meat cure is not looked
upon with favor by the medical
profession, but the family physi.
clan undertook to administer it at
the request of the patient and
family. He is much impressed
with the improved condition of
the patient and is growing enthusi-
astic as well as hopeful. The
young man is now able to get
out of his bed and walk across the
room.

concessions made in June and July,
the whole 'Itata' affair, the action
of the San Francisco in Quinteros
BAY and the matter of the cable
company are proofs of it.
"It has been
PURPosELY MIssTATED
that the American sailors were
attacked in various localities at the
same time. No final summing up
having been concluded, it remains
unknown who and how many are
the guilty parties.
"Your excellency should take
the note of Neva in answer to
Minister Egan, as we'll as the other
note, asking for the evidence which
he did not like to give, although he
had said that he had proofs to
show the murderers and other
guilty parties of October 10th, and
also all the other notes. Your
excellency should have them trans
lated and published. In the mean
time please deny all that appears
to the contrary. We are sure Of
your punctuality, as we are of the
right and propriety of Chile's acts,
and of the final result in spite of
intrigues that descend so low and
threats that come from so high"
IN THIS CONTINGENCY
Senator Condorillas asked last
nigh: for an explanation from
Malta of his letter to the American
government, referred to by Prcsi-
dent Harrison in his message as
an insulting reply.
Malta replied that there was not
the least truth in the characterize
ton. He never penned an insult
ing reply to the United States ad-
ministration. On the other hand,
Egan's letters to the Chilean for
eign office were insulting to a
marked degree. Malta then went
on to maintain the truth of the
data contained in the circular let
ter to the Chilean legations in En-
rope and America. He added,
with vehemence, that Chile would
act in every way with strict justice,
and scored Egan and Consul Nc
Creery for alleged Withholding of
the evidence necessary to arrive at
q clear understanding of the "Balti-
more" case. He said that nothing
would prevent Chile from fully in
vestigating the affair or Furnishing
those found guilty in accordance
with the law of the land.
Herr Guttschmidt, the German
minister, is doing all in his power
TO STIR UP ILL FEELING
against the United States govern
ment. 1t is said that he promised
the Chilean administration the
support of the German fleet in the
event of war between Chile and the
United States.
The entire correspondence be-
tween the United States and Chile,
on the political refugee and Balti-
more outrage questions, is published
today in the official organ.
