was in favor went through.


The witness spoke Of the corruption evil

the blame of a great deal of it on few Of
those who were regarded as reputable
and respectable citizens" He declined to
answer the question, which of the parties
were most corrupt, Democrat or Repub-

the passage of laws he only knew OF when
he had been told by those who had received
the money paid for the passage of bills with
money in them. He said there were cor
rupt Democrats as we'll as corrupt Repub-
licans; that corruption was not confined to
any party or color, but that there were
men who would sell themselves belonging
to either party or color.


The remainder of the testimony was
merely story of old and well known events
told over again, the witness setting his own
actions in the hest light and giving his opin-
ion whenever solicited by the committee.

vicinity, held at that place last Monday to
take into consideration the recent outrages
that have been committed in that part OF
the parish. and to devise some plan to pre-
vent their repetition by bringing the law

in the outer vault of the bank. During the fire

only clog. Great attention is also to be paid

New Years Day., and there will be total
eclipse at that hour. A total eclipse of all
former law visible throughout the entire State

except the Code. 1t is neither common or civil
law; it is kind Of salma gundi; a mixture
Of everything American, English, French and
Spanish. 1t is Numbered up with useless
definitions Of the most common and well un-
derstood words. These new Codes are foul
IN number; the Civil, Political, Penal and
tho Code of Civil Procedure. They have
not simplified the law but have made it worse.
They are like decision Of Chief justice

A DARING FEAT.-A very daring feat
was performed few days since on Look
out Mountain, by young lady from
Nashville. 1t is customary for all stran-
ers visiting the height to have their
photographs taken at the gallery situated
on the "point," or extreme verge of the
mountain, overlooking the Tennessee
River. Timid persons are generally con-
tent with position ranging at from three
to four feet from the edge of the preci-
pice, which juts out above the trees
several hundred feet below. The young
lady in question was not satisfied with
the common custom, but with the assis-
tance of the photographer and friend,
climbed over the verge and stood on the
projecting fragment Of rock only six
inches square, within a few feet of the
top of the bluff, and looked calmy down
from the giddy height until her picture
was taken. One jestle or misstep, and
she would have gone down through the
tree tops and into the valley below. No
other lady has ever attempted the feat,
and we suppose never will.

lnere is no SCaCe IN Europe III WHICH
the barbarous punishment of breaking on
the wheel is inflicted any longer on GRIM
inals of the worst description except in
Serva, one of the semi dependencies Of
Turkey, on the lower Danube. Not long
since whole family was murdered by two
menjwho were arrested by the authorities
Under the torture of the lash one of the
murderers confessed his guilt and i'm
mediately detailed the horrible circum-
stances attending the crime. Both men
were found guilty and sentenced to be
broken by blows from club, which was
done in the presence of an immence con-
course of people. When the two GRIM
inals had been brought on the platform
every stitch of clothing left upon Alexiry
was torn of, and he was firmly tied to
the st. Andrews cross. Until this fatal
moment he had preserved his equanimity
to a most remarkable degree. But now
the executioner drew from green bag a
sort of an iron club. with an iron knob at
its head. The fastened criminal looked
wistfully at the man who was to torture
him, and then put him to death. The
executioner raised the iron club and crash
ed Alexiry's right shoulder. The muir
derer gave shrek, and made desperate
effort to free himself of his fetters. He
struggled desperately in his agony, but
the next blow which the executioner gave
him-on the knee pan-elcited from the
culprit scream of pain that caused the
blood Of the spectators of the dismal scene
to freeze. After the infiction he seemed
insensible, and the other blows that crush
ed his joints, and the finishing strokes on
his belly, were given as to dead man.


Meanwhile, Werthstein, in his chains,
had to look on. He rent the air with his
lamentations, and came near fainting
away when the executioner dealt Alexiry
the first blow, he flung himself to the
floor and begged piteously for his life; but
after the lifeless and mutilated corpse of
Alexiry had been detached from the fatal
St. Andrews cross, he was dragged to it,
and, in spite of his invocation of the Holy
Moses, fastened to it like his accomplice.
He yelled even before he received the
first stroke with the iron club but when
that instrument of torture descended up
on his shoulderjoint he gave an unearthly
scream, and the executioner's blow upon
his knee pan made him howl still worse


For five minutes-an eternity under the
circumstances-he continued his yells,
and it was not until the executioner gave
him three heavy blows on the abdomen
that all was quiet, and Servian justice
was satisfied.

ASK THE PRioE.-A Salem lady says it
is always safe, when travelling, to inquire
the price of an article before deciding to
purchase. She bases this opinion on the
tact of railroad restaurant taking fifteen
cents for cup of tea from all who didn't
ask the price, and only ten cents from
those who did.
