A Horrible Scene at a Gutllotining.

BERLIN March "A horrible story was re-
ceived here today from Slade, small village
in Hanover A murderer was to be guillotined
there to-day. He was placed in position, but
when the knife fell, to the horror of the specta-
tors II failed TO sever the head from the trunk,
leaving the neck in terribly mutilated condi-
ton The horror of the scene was increased
when the eXecutioner raised the knife and made
an attempt to wrench on the head of the unfor-
tunate man with his hands, while the blood
gushed in torrents from the gaping wounds. In
spite OF all his tuggng and twisting he JAILED to
guillotine. Again the blade rallied to perform
Its work, only leaving the remains more mutt
lated than before. The brutal executioner then
took knife and hacked and slashed at the back

head away,

bag, made her way up to the gallery to see
the excitement. Arriving there, she coolly
opened her bag and produced a vicious
looking carving knife, which she stuck in
her belt OF course, all eyes were upon
her in moment. A messenger was sent
to ask her to leave the gallery. why,
certainly" she said in the most nonchalant
way. Then she put her knife in the bag
and proceeded down the stairs. When she
reached the storm door one of the door

coed e5 in addition to the cost of the coffin
and transport of the body to Knebworth,
desiring, to use his words, mo conventional
symbols of Affection to be furnished
for his funeral. After disposing of his
money and estate, the will continued:
"And whereas there now exist in the
hands of persons unrestrained by any
sense of honor or decency certain letters
which l believe to be garbled and certain
written statements which | know to be
wicked and cruel falsehoods relative to the
domestic life of my father and mother
Whereas there is no statement however
impudent and no imputation however base
less which biographers are incapable of
adopting in their pursuit of sensational
novelties about the lives OF eminent per-
sons, therefore it is my wish and request
that Immediately after my death all the
letters and papers bequeathed to me by my
father shall be collected by my wife and
placed under lock and seal in a box, which
box shall be kept in the monument room at
Knebworth and transmitted to my tesla
tors, eldest son or whatsoever shall succeed
me. l earnestly request and bequeath said
papers on the same conditions to my sue
oessor in order that the heirs and repre-
sentatives of the name rendered illustrious
by my dear and honored father may never
be without the means of refutinR, if neces-
sary, the calumnies instituted by Rosina,
Lady Lytton, for which reason and with
which object hereby exhort my wife aud
executors not to destroy the aoovemen-
toned letters and papers which contain a
complete refutation of said Calumnies.''

RAILROAD LANDS.

Editor CLARToN-In the Courier of
9th inst. there appeared an article rel
ative to a decision by the Assistant
Secretary (not the Secretary Of the In
terior) in the matter of the claim of
the New Orleans Pacific Railway Co. to
grant of land as the assignees of the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicks-
burg Railroad.
The writer evidently not well in
formed in regard to this matter) says !:
"The effect of this decision is to trans
fer the title to the lands involved to
the n. 0. Pac. Railway Co. under the
Act of March Sd, 1871" etc.
This is very strong presentation OF
the case in behalf OF the (so-called) n.
@. Pac. Railway Co. and if borne out
by the facts is certainly very diseour-
aging to the real owners of the land in
this parish-the settlers. The facts
are that the Secretary of the Interior
(Mr Noble) has repeatedly and contin-
uously decided in favor of the set
tiers in this matter, and Numerically
opposite to the reported decision of Mr.
Bussey, the Assistant Secretary.
Mr.. Bussey can give no land Except
his own) to this Railway Co. Congress
has the power under certain restric-
tions OF giving lands, at least such pow
ers have been exercised by Congress ;
but Congress cannot and has not given
anv of these lands to this Railway Co.,
and it is certain that it never WILL
The grant to the n. O., B. r. 4 Y. R.
r. Co. of March Sd, 1871, was entirely
