Death Penalty In France.

The public execution of matrlcide
In Paris few days ago marked the
restoration of the death penalty in
France. 1t has been fifteen years
since the guillotlne was used in that
country, and dispatches say that the
execution on the boulevard in front OF
the Santo prison attracted big
crowd. Capital punishment was
abandoned in France because OF the
belief that It did not prevent murder
but 1t has been learned that the abol
itlon of the death penalty does not les
sen the number of so-called capital
crimes either.

A REMARKABLE WAR SCARE.

A scene perhaps unique in warfare
is described by Lew Wallace, in his
recently published Autobiography.
He tells of the approach of a Federal
regiment at Shiloh, and of how their
commander stopped them from panic
when they were under heavy fire.
"An officer rode swiftly round
their left flank, and stopped when in
front of them, his back to the enemy.
What he said l cound not hear, but
from the motions of the men he was
putting them through the manual Of
arms-this Notwithstanding some Of
them were dropping in the ranks.
Taken all in all, that think was the
most audacious thing that came un-
der my observation during the war.
The effect was magical. The colonel
returned to his post in the rear, and
the regiment, steadied as II on pa
rade, advanced in face of the fire
pouring upon them, and actually en-
tered the wood"

Flowers Without FOLIAGE.

One of the most extraordinary flow
ers in cultivation is Halls amaryllis
which reverses the order of nature by
blooming in midsummer without any
foliage. Ordinary bulbs bloom in
spring and rest in summer, but Halls
amaryllis suddenly appears out of the
bare ground during the dry season.
The extraordinary plant has fra
grant, rosy lilac flowers which are
banded with yellow. In the spring
the leaves make their growth, die
down, and after long interval of rest
the flower stalks appear with the
strange effect here described Garden

CAPTURED BY BRIGANDs.

Reuters correspondent at Uskub
gives some additional particulars
with reference to the recent kidnap-
Ing of Mr.. Robert Abbott, a British
subject, In Snlonika. When return
Ing home at about 10 o'clock In the
evening of March 81 he had Just en-
tered the garden and was within a
few steps of his fathers door when
he was attacked by FIVE or six men,
One of these he partially stunned
with a blow on the side of the head;
another he put "hors du combat" by
kick In the stomach; while third
OF the assailants had one of his fin
ers severely bitten while trying to
force a gag into Mr.. Abbott's mouth.
But the victim was speedily over
powered; one of the brlgands sat
upon his head, and at this moment
they seem to have administered chic
roform, as Mr. Abbott lost conscious
ness, and continued in half-dazed
condition, suffering from nausea for
two days afterward.
He recollects being half carried
and half walking gagged and blind
folded, for some distance, two men
supporting him under the armpits,
after which he was thrown into
house, where he Immediately fell
into deep sleep. The following
night he was removed to another
house. Here the bandage was re-
moved from his eyes, and lie could
see that he was in room the floor
and walls of which were concealed
by rush mating, as IL to render iden-
tification difficult, while the windows
were hermetically closed, the only
light coming from lamp which was
kept burning day and night. In this
room he remained for thirty-six days
and nights, constantly watched b.;
two of the band. His guards were
quite kind to him, and, except for
retaining him as their prisoner, did
all they could to meet his wishes.
Immediately after the capture Mr..
Alfred Abbott. the father of the vic
tim, sent trusty servant to scour all
the villages in the neighborhood of
Salonika; the Vail of Saionika also
sent out four secret agents to try to
get on the track OF the brigands. But
these measures were without effect,
and communication with the band was
at last opened by letter found on
April 6 in Mr.. Abbotts garden at Sa-
lonika. In this letter Mr.. Robert
Abbott informed his father that he
was in the hands of n brigand band.
who demanded for him a ransom of
f15, 900 Turkish. A postscript,
which the brigand chief added in
pencil and in an evidently disguised
handwriting, threatened that the
death or mutilation of the prisoner
would be the consequence of any re-
fusal to pay or Of any attempt to
play false with the band by putting
the authorities on their track. The
letter also named a rendezvous where
an agent of Mr.. Abbott's might meet
with representatives of the band to
arrange details.
The money was sent from Salonika
on the evening of April 25 under an
escort of four armed men, and was
handed over to the brigands at
point among the hills four or five
miles from Salonlka. More than
twenty brigands were seen on this oc-
casion. In conversation with Mr..
Abbott's messenger, the brigand chief
said that the money would in no
sense be thrown away, as 1t would in
sure lifelong happiness to score of
honest families! es!-London Standard.
