 For second it is poised in the air. as the executioner takes aim. Then it falls There Is no great apparent effort. It sim ply falls, and, moreover, seems to fall slow ly. But when it comes to tho mans neck. it does not stop. It keeps on falling With ghastly slowness it passes right through the flesh, and you are only re- called from your momentary stupor when the head springs forward and rolls over and over, while for fraction of a second two dazzling jets of scarlet blood burst out and fall in graceful curve to the ground Then the great rush of blood comes and floods the spot. As soon as the blow has fallen the second executioner pitches the body forward with loud "Hough." It tumbles in a shapeless heap, and from every throat goes up loud ''Ho," expressive of pleasure and approval of the stroke.
 But there is no pause, the exccutioner steps over the corpse to the front man in the second rank, tho knife is raised again, 1t falls, another head rolls away, another double burst of blood follows it, the head less body Is showed forward, the assistant B0OuUS duu bllS CIOW0 EnOutS "Ho." Two men are dead. Then the headsman steps back to the second man of the front row and the operation is re- peated.
 Two things strike you. Tho brutal mat ter of factness of the whole performance and the extraordinary ease with which human head can bo chopped off. As a whole, it is precisely like drove of pigs driven into the shambles and stuck, and in detail it is or seems no more difficult than splitting turnip with carving knife or looping off a thistle with cane. Chop, chop, chop, the heads roll off one after the other in as many seconds.
 had few minutes conversation with the executioner afterward. Decapitation, he told me, was not tho occupation of his family. It is only a perquisite. But the business is not what it was Formerly he used to get $2 head for all he cut off. Now he only gets 50 cents. It is hardly worth while ohopping mems heads off ct that rate.

 A RevoIting Scene at Canton.
 am inclined to think that nobody can claim to have an adequate and accurate appreciation of Chinese character who has not witnessed Chinese execution, writes a Canton correspondent This is not diff cult to do at Canton, for the river swarms with pirates and when these gentry are caught they generally get short shrift A few foggings to begin with, then sev- eral months in pHson, and it is not neoes- sary to explain what Chinese prison is, with little to eat and a stiff course of tor ture, and then one fine morning short, sharp shock" at the execution ground.
 The execution is fixed for 4:30, so at the guide comes for us at Shameen, the foreign quarter of Canton, and our chairs carry us rapidly through the noisy alleys of the native city. The execution ground is a bare space, 30 yards long by dozen wide, between two houses, whose blank walls hem it in on three sides. There is no platform, no roped off space nothing but this bare bit of dirty ground, so crowd cd with Chinese that we are forced into the middle, not moro than four feet from whatever is to take place. It is no use to try to get farther off-here we are, and here we must stop.
 Suddenly the gates are thrown open, and, welcomed by howl of delight from the crowd, @ strange and ghastly proces sion comes tu1nbling. First few raga- muffin soldiers, making fine pretense of clearing tho way. Then a file of coolies carrying the victims in small, shallow baskets slung to bamboo poles. As soon ns each pair reaches the middle of the space

 they stoop and pitch their living burden out and run off The prisoners are chained hand and foot and are perfectly helpless The executioner stands by and points out where each load is to be dumped He is dressed exactly like any other cooly pres cnt, without any badge of office whatever
 One after another tho condemned men arrive and are slung out. Will the pro cession never endS How many can there be? This is more than we bargained for At last over the heads of the crowds we see the hats of two petty mandarins, and behind them the gates are shut. The tale of men is Is, and the exeoutioner has ar- ranged them in two rows about two yards apart and all facing one way. They seem perfectly callous. They exchange remarks some of them evi2Sntly chaff, with the spectators, and one man was car ried in singing and kept up his strain al- most to the last.
 The executioners--thcro are now two of them-step forward. The younger tucks up his trousers and sleeves and dcliber- ately selects a sword from several lying close by, while the other, all old man, places himself behind the front man of the nearest TOW and takes him by the shoul- dors. The younger man walks forward and stands at the left of the knecling man.
 The fatal moment has come. There is an instant hush, and every one of the two rows of condemned men behind twists his head round and cranes his neck to sec I will not attempt to describe tho emotions of such a moment-the horror, tho awful repulsion. the wish that you had never come, the sickening fear that you will be snlashed with the blood and vet tho help- less fascination that keeps your eyes glued
