 Hartford Times: Santo Caserio, the murderer of President Carnot, was be- headed, at o'clock Thursday morning, at Lyons. The two or three hundred spectators, when the assassin's head drop ped into the basket, gave hearty cheer. Caserio was pretty nearly broken down when he realized that he had reached his final hour. Yet he struggled fiercely with the guards when they took him to the guillotine. It was pitiful scene. The murderer had to be almost carried in get ting him to the fatal spot. He trembled, and was almost ready to sink, even while he struggled. He could with difficulty speak, in declining to have the services of a priest; and it was with a quaver- ing, pitiful voice that he shouted, or tried to shout, Courage, comrades i~-Long live anarchy!'' A more pitiable sight was never exhibited at the place of execu- tion. The young assassin Che was not quite 21) had boasted in 8 message to other anarchists that they would see him die firm. He made weak and wretched scene instead, even to the last miserable struggle with the headsman's aides. The head, after it had been cut off, presented a horrible appearance. It was thrust be- tween the legs of the corpse, in a cheap coffin, and the box was then hastily thrown into a hole in the guillotine cemetery and covered up. His crime was perpetrated on Sunday evening, June A. In one month and three weeks he has paid the penalty. In this country the time would have been far longer. But the French method is better, if there are to be execu- tions.
 M. Elem, the-~Paris painter, relates a story of the brother of the present presi- dent of the French republic, and Corot, the artist. M. Casimir- Perier, Jr., was an intimate friend of Corot. On Q visit which he made to the great artist in 1875, in his home at Verdizon, in the forest af Fontainebleau, he found Corot putting the last touches on his "Biblis" ("Nymphs in the Forest at Sundown"). The master piece filled Casimir-Perier with enthusi- asm, and he begged the artist to sell it to him.
 "I'll give you my canvas" replied Cor ot, Ion one condition-that you pay the butcher and baker bills of my friend Mill let"
 - Taken nansweredt the wealthy French man.
 In Chailly, where Millet lived, the butch CT and baker were asked to make out their bills and send them to M. Casimir-P -Perier The art-lover was somewhat surprised when he found that Millet had lived on credit for twelve years, and that the bills amounted respectively to 22,OOO and 24, 900 francs, over 5000. M. Perier paid the bills according to agreement and car ried home the Corot. The price at that time was considered enormous, as the purchaser could have bought the painting in the market for about 1 800 francs, less than Ss40O. The bargain, however, was a good one, as the picture to-day, it is esti- mated, is worth almost $30,000. It is still in the possession of the Casimir- Perrier family. THE REASONING OF DEBs. -"Here What are you trying to do?" exclaimed the stranger as he caught the firebug by the collar.
 "Why, man kicked me and I'm trying to get even by starting this fire," returned the firebug.
 Does he live here?" asked the stranger
 "Oh, mo-"
 "In the next house ?"
 "No. He lives clear over on the other side of town"
 "Then why are you trying to start a fire here p
 "Well, you see, reason that if I start a big fire here maybe I'll burn up the whole blamed city, and if I burn up the whole city it's likely that he'll suffer too. J
 "Bnt how about the rest of the peyple? ?''
 "Oh, hang them! Who cares for them. ''
