EsarfuI Eat. q RavaiIIac.

In these days when executions, II
held at all. are mostly carried out in
private, it is difficult for us to under
stand the feelings of savagery with
which an old time mob witnessed a
popular execution. Here is BlOundelle
Burtons account--from The Fate of
Henry OF Navarre'--of the scene when
Ravaillac. the assassin Of the king.
had, after shocking tortures, been torn
asunder by wild horses: THE execu-
toner had begun to dismember him
and was about to cast his remains into
the second caldron when the vast
crowd prevented him from doing so.
They each required a portion Of the
body OF the kings assassin, and most
of them obtained one. That night
many bonfres blazed in and around
Paris, and in their midst were con
sumed pieces Of Ravaillac's frame; on
barn doors in other places were nailed
similar scraps of his body. as hawks
and owls and carrion crows were nail
ed as a warning to others of their
breed"
