Spanish ExecutlOners.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

When the cougt-martial that Don Ales-
sandro O'Reiuy, the second Spanish COVER
nor of Louisiana in 1863, had organized ID
convict. brought in verdict of death
against Lafreniere and six of his complu-
ions as the leaders of the Louisiana revO-
lutionists against the authority of Spain.
to which country Louis XIV, of France
had coded the colony O'Reilly sought IN
vain among whites and blacks in Lousi-
ana for man who would perform the abb
hOrrent work OF serving as hangman at
the execution of the patriots. Not a man
of the colony would answer the call. In
this emergency O'Reilly was compelled 10
assign the cougenial task of slaughteTing
the helpless CreOles and Frenchmen 70
regular Spanish soldiers whom he had
brought with him from Spain, and, instead
Of being hanged, Lafreniere and the 9TH
ers were shot to death by a platoon OF
5renadiers in q space of ground near the
site of the present United States mint, in
New Orleans. which a that time was in
the rear of the military garrison of the
post. The failure Of OReilly to secure u
hanSman in the case of these unfortunate
men recalled 10 old French residents of
New Orleans Of that day the interesting
story of Jeannot, an African slave of tho
Mississippi company, or company Of the
West, which fifty years previously had
control of the colony of Louisiana, under
a charter granted by the regent of Or
leans The company offered Jeannot his
freedom on condition that he would serve
as public hangman of the colony. JeannoC
appeared to agree TO the proposition, but
he afterward repaired 30 a secluded place
and cut off his lighl arm with a Ratchet.
BY this self-intiicted 1nut3lation Jeannot
avoided the repuisve duties of hangman
for the colony, but he also lost his oppOr-
tunlty for freedom However, the agents Of
the company, not knowing in what way %
utilize Jeaunot as a laborer, appointed him
overseer of all the slaves belonging to It.
Poor Jeannot was rewarded for his sense
of humanity aud conscientiousness by re-
ceivlng the respect and esteem of all the
inhabitants of The colony during the rest
of his life

Tortoises for RothsehiId.


From the San Francisco Chronicle
A curious spectacle is afforded in San
Francisco, where sixty-five large tortoisss
winch c. N. Harris brought recently from
the Galapagos Islands, are fed The tor
toises We're procured for Walter Rotbs-
child of London, and viii be shipped Ia
England when the weather becomes
warmer. Their diet now consists of an
pies, cabbage and grass Mr. Harris
every morning, puts two large boxes Of
thoroughly ripe apples. half a dozen biz
cabbages and sack of freshly cut grass
in the yard for them 10 feed upon. Wheo
satisfied they crawl into the conservatory
TO rest and digest their food.
They are kept in a florists hot house as
high temperature is needed to keen them
alive. The Galapagos Islands are on t7a
equator, where the temperature is seldom
under seventy degrees, and these tortoisss
would die If kept in less than fifCy-five de
grees Fahrenheit. They were desired b,-
Mr.. Rothschild who IS son of Baron
Rothschld, for his private museum, which
is said to be one of the most intereslip-
in the word. The expedition to the Gala
pages cost him $4,000.
The tortoises are unusually large, some
being six feet long in their shells and five
feet in girth. Twenty-nine of them are
the testuGo ephipDium species. Il was
supposed this species was extinct, and Che
specimens that Harris caught are the onlv-
ones known to exist anywhere in tha
world. The species belong to the mas
toaOnic age. Their hind legs are like the
limbs of an elephant in form and cover
ing The twenty-nine named were found
in the crater of one of the dead volcanoes
of the islands. They were restricted in
their travels 20 this crater and to a pll-
teau connected with It. The nightly Peru
Wan rains as the heavy mists there are
called, gave them in the hottest season
the water they required Some Of the
tortoiseS are supposed TO be centuries Old.
Coming hitler they langushed in the
darkness Of The ships hold, and on reach
ing latitude % degrees began to feel cold;
but they are growing lusty again, and one
day last week two of the largest had a
bate in the yard. The majority OF the
tortoises which Harris has are of the tes-
tudO nigra species. Both kinds captured
by him are found only in the Galapagos
Islands, he says. Re VIII so East with
them about the end of this month.
He also brought several thousands Of
specimens Of birds from the Galapagos,
and these have already been sent TO Lon

No man in these days could help know
ing the kind of petbcoat a woman
wears, specially if he lived in one of the
large cities where new styles are in full
vogue.
In a cable car the other day, on one
of the most luxurious pubic car lines of
New York city, woman deliberately
gathered up her silk skirt around her
knees and seated herself, with her petit
coat alone touching the car floor When
she arose TO leave the car she gathered up
the skirt of her dress high all around
her, while The petticoat was in full dis
play
The drop skirt is largely responsible for
this. Among all of Mrs. Mackay's dresses
there is not one in her trousseau that has
not a drop skirt. The drop skirt" as
you know, is the lining of the overskirt.
1t is silk and Is very beautifully trimmed.
The skirt proper hangs over il. Drop
skirts are worn with wool, challle cash
mere and in fact every material of which
dresses are made. 1t makes no difference
what the dress may be il must have a
drop skirt just the same
Women who can not afford to have
these drop skirts wear a silk skirt, which
takes the place of a drop skirt The great
est extravaganza is seen In these drop
skirts. They are objects of art, of course
and no ordinary seamstress can make
them.
/ saw one the other day which was in n
beautiful shade of magenta Eight inches
from the foot it was trimmed with a puff
fling of sky blue silk and with little knots
of ribbon. Another putting extended
around the skirt three inches below the
first one and between the puffings, there
was friil of black lace heavy black
lace rufile hung to the floor The rufIle
was trimmed with blue silk ribbon ana
was underlaid with a lace tlounce of its
own.
Let no one suppose that these skirts
are cheap. On the contrary they are ex-
trcmely expensive. You can scarcely get
one for less than SIS and you can easily
so up to $50 No expense is spared on
them and l saw one the other day with
mine own eyes on which the little tag was
marked $3.50. Skirts that run up into very
eXtravagant figures are made up of fine
SILK, heavy satin and real lace. They are
elaDorately trimmed and when completed
are the most elegant articles that can be
imagined.
