supposing the Az Had rallenl

Some years ago an inquisitive med
zeal student, while examining the gull
lotine in q big waxworks exhibition in
London. took it into his head that the
sort of yoke which fits down on the
shoulders Of the criminal to hold him
in his place would not be sufficient to
contine a person who struggled.
His curiosity ON that point led him
to watch till the place was empty,
when he actually put himself in. let
ting down the yoke. He soon found,
however, that he was quite unable to
lift it. and it at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp AK suspended over
his neck might not be firmly fixed. or 1t
would fall, as it should. with a touch.
He was afraid to struggle lest the
shaking should bring it down and at
once deposit his head in the basket Of
sawdust below him. into which his
eyes We're Of necessity steadily look
ing.
Having Staid some time in this
plight. he was overjoyed to hear the
approach Of a visitor, whom he i'm
plored to release him. It was in vain.
I'm thinking" said the gentleman.
n Scottish visitor to the metropolis.
to his wife, that he must be hired to
show how the thing acts. anu l think
we'd better not interfere"
So the luckless student was left till
one Of the attendants came in and
made fast the ak before releasing him
from his predicament. The AK was
afterward removed and laid by the
side Of the structure to prevent future

The South Before the War.

The Sout Before the War Co.,which
appeared before a crowded house at
the Auditorium last evening made a
splendid sensation.
Their production of typical planta-
tlon scenes, with their old time songs,
enllvened by negro antics and Incl
dents of negro life as it was lived in
the South before the great rebellion,
took the house by storm.
The introduction of many pleasing
Innovations in the musical and comic

The cake walk given by genuine col

Where the Ships Pass By.

Down along the battery sea wall Is
1-e place to watch the ships go by.
Coastwise schooners, lumber-laden,
which can get far up the river under
their own sail; big full-rigged clipper
ships that have TO be towed from the
lower bay, their topmasts down in or
der to scrape under the Brooklyn
Bridge; barques, brlgs, brlgantines-
all sorts OF sailing craft, with cargoes
from all seas, and flying the flags of
al. nations.
White-painted river steamers that
seem all the more flimsy and riverish if
they happen to churn out past the dark
compactly built ocean liners who come
SO deliberately and arrogantly up past
the Statue of Liberty to dock after the
long hard job of crossing, the home
comers on the decks already waving
ham Plucky little tugs (that
whistle on the slightest provocation)
pushing queer bulky floats, which
bear wi,h ease whole trains of freight
cars, dirty cars, looking frightened
and out of place, which the choppy
seas try to reach up and wash. And
still queerer, old slop scows, with soil
ed, awkward canvas and no shape to
speak of, bound for no one seems to
know where and carrying you seldom
see what. And always, everywhere,
all day and night, whistllng and push
ing i'm and out between everybody, the
ubiquitous, faithful, narrow minded
old ferryboats with their wonderful
helmsmen in the pilot-house, turning
the wheel and looking unexcitable.
That is the way 1t is down around
Pier A, where the Tammany Dock
Commission meets and the Police Pa
!rol boat lies, and by Castle Garden,
where the river craft pass so close to
you you can almost reach out and
toudh them with your hand.-October
