FLoGGlNG FOR MURDER.

Flogging by the knout has been prohib.

island of Sakhalin, and for murder. No
Russian civilian is allowed to witness an
execution of that sort; certainly no tray

so intimate, I noticed for the first time one
day a little constraint in him. I met the
doctor and said, you do not look very

happy. There is a case which has come
into court for hogging for murder, and !
don't like it,"
1t was not a thing that ! would like to
see, but l thought that somebody who was
competent should know what this tlogging
by the knout was, and however painful it
might be to myself, l had better see it for
the purpose of truth. l saw very well that
the governor was keeping something from
me. Here comes the advantage of being
a doctor The prison doctor went to the
governor and said that the prisoners case
was so critical that he could not take the
responsibility Of deciding whether he was
fitted for the punishment at the eXamina-
ton which must take place four hours be-
fore, and he asked that l might come in

ward went and saw the nogging. 1t took
place in the great yard Of the prison in the
presence of the governor, the surgeon and
myself. The criminal was stretched out
on n table in the middle of the yard, and
behind him stood the eXecutioner. To the
right of the table and at a good distance
was the man who Kept the tally, and
counted aloud each blow as it fcll-ono,
two, three, and so on TO the end.
1 have never seen anything which was
so painful to witness. The knout has a
large, thick handle, the strands of the whip
are divided into three by knots, and with
a hard end, and the scourge descends Ikea
bird OF prey and picks out the piece.
The only pleasant thing about it is tho
end. As soon as it was over and the man
was not dead he was taken TO the hospital,
and the doctor, who Was one of the best Of
men, cared for him just as much as if he

THE JENKINS eARu ISSUE.
u Resulted In a New Era Of Activity In
England.

Spain claimed to be mistress by decree
Of the pope Of all the seas and continents

main, " and so for two centuries, whatever
was the case in Europe, perpetual war
ragged in the tropics.
BY the Assipnto treaty tho British were
allowed TO dispatch one ship, not exceed
ing 800 tons, TO the Spanish main each
year, but what parchment skin of treaties
could keep the volume of the worlds trade
flowing through such % petty squirt IL
legal traders i'm the Spanish main abound
ed, and Spanish guarda costas were not
gentle in thcir methods of supprossing
them. Captain jenkins, with his vessel,
the Rcbccca, sailing from Jamaicn to Lon
don, was stopped and searched off the
coast of Havana by q Spanish revenue cut
ter. jenkins was slashcd over the head
with a cutlass and his left ear was chopped
off. A Spanish officer then tore off the
bleeding ear, flung it in its owners face
and babe him carry it home to his king
and tell him what had been done" The
story Of how that little morsel Of brown,
withercd flesh turned out a spark which
kindlcd the inarticulate slow burning
wrath Of the English nation into a flame
and swept England itself into wal Carlyle
tells:
1.-THE Jenkins ear question, which
once looked so mad, was sane enough and
covered tremendous issues. Half the world
lay hidden in embryo under it. Colonial

world be England's for industrial purposes,
which is Innocent, laudable, conform
able to the multiplication table at least
and other plain laws, or shall it be SPANS

poses, contradictory to every law? The

call immensel Among the then extant
sons of Adam whore was he who could in
the faintest degree surnise what issues lay
in the jenkins ear question? And is 1t
curious to consider now with what fierce,

nation, drawn by their instincts, held fast
upon it, and would take no denial, as il
they had surmiscd and seen? For the in

issued were 1872, which was ~ more than the

THE MAN.

The man who speaks
A kindly word to soothe an aching heart
Or light some tear dimmed eye,
TIC break or turn the point Of sorrows dart
Aimed at a weary wanderer passing by
The man who lends
A helping hand to raise whom cares bow
down,
Needless of friend or foe,
To boldly aid, though worldlings soon OF
frown;
The hand that strikes at tyranny a blow
The man who loves
All natures gifts, mightiest or most minute
The bird, the brute, the flower,
The tempest blast, the air that tunes the Lutte,
The rays that brighten and the clouds that
over
He who thus speaks, thus lends a hand, thus
loves,
Confding in the genius Of the Giver
C"Unknowable," maybeh
Glides to his rest, his record safe forever
In the great archives of eternity.
