HALLOWEEN.

Yesterday evening was Halloween, - sacred to the church as the eve of All Saints' day, but which of late years is not much observed by the different churches.
 Ia olden times it was the custom for each household to light bonfire at night fall, which was supposed to drive away the witches and evil spirits.
 This custom probably grew out of the belief which then obtained that the begin- ming of the winter, as well as the summer festival, was season when the fairies were unusually active and unusually propitious. Some writers say there is no evidence to show that "a methods of divination at present resorted to, although of great antiquity: were origi- naIly regarded as limited In their efficacy to any one day.
 ltis~Ihe custom of late years for the Dyoung people to play the game or tableau of fortune, at which those present are sup posed to gain some foresight into their future.
 These games are played in various ways to suit the convenience of the crowd, and much amusement is afforded.

The Murderer Shook With Fear When rAnarchiei" He Walked to His Doom. A Big Crowd. but No Demonstration.
 LYONS, Aug. I6.-Cesario Santo, the as- sassin of President Carnot, was executed this morning.
 The execution took place at I:55 o clock.
 Santo trembled us he emerged from the prison and had to Do assisted to tho scaf fold His face was deadly pale.
 As he was being fastened down he cried "Vive Ianarchie''
 His death was instantaneous. There was no unusual demonstration.
 Scenes Near the Prison.
 The news of the decision to execute Santo in the carly morning spread rapid ly, notwithstanding the efforts of the ofli- cials to keep it secret. \ heavy fall of rain prevented tho gathering of a great crowd around the prison, but all the wine shops and restaurants in the vicinity wero crowded all tho evening with people who proposed to witness the execution. At midnight, however, thcso people were compelled to leave their places of shelter. as the tavern keepers had strict orders to close their doors at that hour.
 The streets leading to tho prison were occupied by troops At O clock all the houses on the streets were closed, and no person allowed to enter unless he could prove that it was his own place of resi- dence.
 This prccautiOn was intended to pre- vent any attempts at violence on the part of the anarchists.
 At | distance of 90 yards from Santo' : cell the scaffold was erected in tho squaro facing the prison.

The Supplemental T.rifr nlri..

wAsHINGToN. Aug. l1-Tbe events of the day did not make clearer the probable result of the efforts on the part of the sen ate to follow the lead of the house in try ing to secure the passage of the supple mental tariff bills.
 The first ~upposltion after Senator Harris offered his motion to p.fer tho bills tO the iinanCc committee was that he was acting for a united party, but it was prOv- cd that tho Democratic scnators werr very much divided upoOn this question. IL ap- pcars that the Republicans will also di- vide upon the motion. but n majority of them will oppose 1t. The situation may bc still further complicated today by the withdrawal of the Harris motion WhCth- CT the bills 70 to the committee or arc considered On their merits without rCf- crcncc they will he bitterly fought
 There is no purpose on the part of the a vote to be taken When the fight bcgins in earnest, sthc bills will lse resisted ny ev- cry means known to parliamentary the tics-by long spccrhcs. amendments and dilatory motions uf kinds.
