About eight o'olock on Saturday evening, whilst a train Ilona New GAAS to Richmond was entering Baker-street Station, on the Metropolitan Railway. a possi.oger, reepeetably dressed, either fell or threw himself directly in. front of the engine. and was cut to pieces. His remains were collected inn, sack. The .officials have not been able to find any papers.which would aiford them a clue to the unfortunate victim's identity. He was apparently about .36 years of age. Mousse Boy, the notorious Kurdish Thief, so. well-known in connection with the atrocities in Armenia, is to be tried before the Turkish courts in Constantinople. It is at his own request that he is so to be tried. He complains of tile unjust accusations brought against him, and seeks this trial that he may be cleared from reproach. Very probably the Turkish Judges will oblige him. If he Lad not been pretty sure of aoquittal, Mousse Bey would not have found his way to Corcsentieopie. When one reflects on the amount of and suffering which the inaocent viotims of murderers go through, the anxiety displayed by certain persons to spare the eriminalon whom sentence of death Mei been passed, by devising all kinds of systems for depriving death of its terrors, really appears excessive. We read, for instance, that some one who has thought este the matter in New York considers that Amestion by electricity is a crude and bungling way of depriving a murderer of life, the read Painless and humane:mathod being to cease death by carbonic mid gas. The only apparatus needed, it is explained, woukl be one air-tiefit cell built above another, with a ocinnectsair tube and stop-cock between them. The gas, which has the advantage of being very would be put in the upper chamber, and with a good cigar, if he dosiroiltz a lounge or sofa in the lower." On tur the cook the gas would demend, and atomiser would ensue. The peacefully elnapingarindnal would then be latmulied into , death, ' the penalty of his crime, coming upen wiry quickly, and absolutely without pain. No humane person wishes to see a murderer teetered in any way; but such extreme oonsisiniation for his feelings really appears misplaced.  tortaxe I  I gpolial_
