DEATHS.
How the Slysterlea of
Toilet were Explained to
Kepolltr.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
In this modern and artificial age, when
ladies so love to stuff, pad, lace and twist
the human form divine as to make it
graceful, despite any little shortcomings
of nature in the way of an imperfect fig
ure, we are not astonished to hear daily
of new patents and inventions for aiding
the dressmaker iu her landable eflorts to
improve nature’s handiwork.
Believing that something new was
needed to give additional prominence—
contour, development, embonpoint, or
what yon will—to the female form, a
modiste in this city has lately invented
and patented a tin bust. A Chronicle re
porter yesterday sought the inventress at
tier manufacturing rooms. ClimbiDg a
flight of stairs, he rapped timidly at her
doof—for what man does not feel a little
shaky when abont to explore the mys
teries of a feminine toilet? A plump,
bright-looking little woman, with rosy
cheeks, and a smile that bespoke good-
humored cuteness, opened the door and
said, “Well, sir ?”
Reporter—Madam, I am a—I heard—
excuse me—1 understand that you are
the inventress of a tin—a tin—b-b-fc—
that is, a tin model for ladies, madam.
Modiste—Yes, sir; patent tin basts.

We are in a position, says
Paris Temps, to complete the
formation in relation to the
construction of the Palace of
Tuileries. The plans drawn up duriug
the Empire will be carried out for that
part which skirts the Rue de Rivoli, and
thus the Pa million de Marsan will be re
built on the model of the Pavillion de
Flore at the other angle; while as to the Pa
vilion de l’Horloge, it will he erected in
conformity with the design of Philibert
Delorme, and be surmounted with a wide
passage, as in the time of Marie de Med-
icis; the wings which unite it to the pa
vilions at the corners o£ the Rue de Riv
oli and tho quay will be replaced by gal
leries with arcades, which the public
may pass through to go from the Place
du Carrousel to the garden. We
may add, that if the principle
this restoration is decided on,
the mind of M. Thiers, with the reserve
of the assent to be given by the Assem
bly, tho works will not be undertaken
before the-complete reconstruction
the Hotel de Ville and the Council
State. To explain the interest taken by
the President of tho Republic in the
former of those edifices, the charge of
which belongs to the Municipal Council,
the fact must be borne in mind
that M. Thiers anticipated the forma
tion of a Second Chamber, the seat oi
which would naturally be at the Luxem
bourg, and this could not be before the
Prefecture of the Seine, and the Munici
pal and General Councils have resumed
possession of their offices in the Hotel de
Ville. b s will be seen, M. Thiers, after
having remedied the moral decay of
Franco, is actively engaged in repairing
its material ruins.

The reporter explained his occupation,
The Cathedral of Slrusburg.
The complete restoration of the cathe
dral of Strasburg to it3 pristine perfec
tion is a matter of general interest. Herr
Klotz, the architect in charge of tbe
work, has just published his report, from
which it appears that the expense of re
storing the masonry will amount to 240,
000 fraacs, and the repairs of the roof to
187,000 francs. The replacing of the
glass and inside fittings wiil cost 143.000
francs, and the other accessory repairs
will come to 28,000 francs. The total
expense will amount to 598,000 francs.
The cross, which threatened to fall
into rains, has again been raised, and
the damage done to its apex is now being
repaired—an operation of great difficulty
and danger. 1,221 paaes of gla$s had
been irjnred. Three painting and glazing
firms in Strausburg are putting these m

sightly expedient of closing tho apert

and informed the lady that he had merely
called, thinking thut some information
concerning the great invention would
prove of interest to the lady readers of
the Chronicle.
Oh, dear 1 so you are a reporter ?
Well, I declare I don’t know whether I
ought to show you my patent bust or not,
Yon newspaper men—and especially the
Chronicle men—are so saucy; and then
you are so cruelly sarcastic sometimes
that really I am afraid of the Chronicle,
though I would not do without it for the
world. Now, I know you came up here
to make fun of this bust of mine, didn’t
you ?”
Reporter—No, madam; I assure you I
came to write something in the cause of
science and improvement.
Modiste—Well, then, I supposolmust
show it to you; so walk right in.
The reporter turned as red as a beet as
he entered a room where several comely
girls were busy catting and sewing some
thing. He took a sea*, nearly missing
the chair, and remained very ill at ease
while the inventress retired into another
room to get the wonderful bust. The
girls cast mischievous glances at him that
made him feel like a cat in a strange gar
ret. Presently tbe inventress returned;
bearing in her hands a tin thing that re
sembled John McCullough’s breast-plate
when he does Richard HI. She placed
it in the reporter’s lap, which started the
girls to gigging again, and made him
feel like two strange cats in a garret.-
Modiste—You see tlrs is just like the
body of a lady. It is made of tin, and
we mako them to any size.
Reporter—How in the world can
lady >vear one of these stiff, uncomfort
able things ?
Modiste—Why, dear me, they do not
wear them at all. They are dummies—
models on which to fit dresses.
At this point the girls screeched, and
the inventress had to quiet them by a
reprimand.
Reporter—Oh 1 I see; you only adjust
the pattern on this—this bust.
Modiste—Yes; it’s just like fitting a
dress on a live woman, you see, only it
doesn’t fidget like some of them. It’s
convenient. You can take it in your lap
while you are fitting on the dress, and
you can’t do that with a live woman,
you know.
The reporter blushed and said he rather
thought not.
Modiste—Of course not; and it’s not
a bit inconvenient to carry it around,
though it is so large. See here, I put
my hat in it. It makes a splendid hat-
box to put in your trank while you are
traveling—hat can’t get mashed a bit.—
We xntike them of all sizes, and famish
patterns, wire stand, and everything
complete, so that a lady can adjust her
bust to the height of her figure, and
make a dress fit exactly. Ob, it’s ex
tremely convenient I assure you. If you
are rich, and don’t want to bother with
ranniiifl; to your dress-maker so often to
get your new dress tried on to see how
it’s being made, why, all you need do is
to get a bust and leave it at tbe dress
maker’s with your older.
Reporter—I see, ma’am. Yery nice
arrangement.
Modiste—Yes, and if you are only re
spectable, and like to wear neat-fitting
dresses, but can!t afford to pay a dress
maker $25 for making one, why can’t
you get one of my patent tin bust£ and
cat and fit your own dresses? Then,
too, if you are a professional dress-maker,
and wish to make a favorable display of
your goods, these are the best things you
can get. See there ! (laying her hands
on two very visible protuberances on tbe
model), that jiist sets off a bodice dr a
sack charmingly.

indispensable adjunct to a fashionable
mourning toilette.
— The prettiest rpnnd hat of the sea
son is made on the model of the cliapean

Considerable improvement has
been made of late in Paris, Berlin and
other European cities, in apparatus for
tho heating of buildings by gas. The
most important results, perhaps, yet pro
duced, refer to the heating of churches,
which has been essayed on a large scale
in Berlin. The method generally adopted
is that of placing a horizontal gas pipe
with three jets within a stove made of
sheet-iron, and over the gas-jets a piece
of brass wire-work, of which the open
ings are not more than one twenty-fifth
of an inch in diameter.
The cathedral at Berlin. Las a cubical
contents of rising thirteen thousand
metres, and it is heated by means of
eight of these stoves, each of which has
twenty-two of the brass gratings, eleven
and one-half inches in length by one and
a half in width, making in all about half
an inch square of grating for each cubic
cnetie to be warmed. The consumption
of gasiu raising the air within the edifice
to the reqn red temn-ratnre—a three
hoars’ operation—is about five litres per
cubic metre; to maintain the same heat
requires but seven-tenths of a litre of gas
per cubic metre.

Reporter— If a young lady should pur
chase one of these, would she not out
grow it and the dresses fitted to itbe-
cjme too small ?
Modiste—All that they have to do is to
send it back and get it enlarged. If it’s
a very fat woman and she grows lean, we
can make her tin bast smaller.

street he felt something strike him on
the head, and heard a peal of silvery
laughter from the window above. He
picked up the, soft missile with which he
had been struck. It was a lot of cotton
rolled in paper. And this was the part

slowly from his wounds. The following
we hear from listeners, is his statement’
A warrant was placed in his hands fo*
the arrest of Dr. J. Carter Cook, son of
Mr. James Cook, one of the most prog,
perous and respectable citizens in (jT
lutnhus. The Doctor iz a young man
and is running a farm in Russell county
Alabama. The affidavit charged him
with an assault with attempt to kill an Q
tho burning of a negro’s house on his
(Cook’s) premises. Capt. Burch is l
quiet, cool, determined man, but likes
to do everything in a g mtlemunly man
ner. He rode to Cook’s p'ace i n his
buggy, reaching there Saturday at 1 p y
He inquired if the Doctor’s wife ^as
at home, not wishing to disturb her, and
received a negative answer. He then
met tho Doctor, showed him the warrant
and told him it was his duty to arrest
him, hut allowed him perfect liberty.—
Trie Doctor invited him to dinner. Burch
accepted, and unbuckling his pistol, laid
it on the table. The Doctor possessed
himself of the weapon and told Burch if
he did not leave, he would kill him in
five minutes. Burch left, saying he was

the advantage, but he would return with

LEVITIE<*.
[Correspondence N. Y. Herald.]
Hedersonville, N. C., Oct. 25,1872.
Over five thousand people were assem
bled here to-day for the purpose of wit
nessing the execution of Martin Bay-
nard, one of the murderers of Silas Wes
ton and his three children, but they were
doomed to he wolully disappointed. It
will be remembered that two criminals
have already been executed for this crime,
the details of which were fully reported
in the Herald, both at the time of the ex
ecution of Geo. Baynard and G. Adair.
Martin Baynard was also to have suffered
the extreme penalty of the law when the
other two were hanged, but he was re
spited Irom time to time, to be used as a
witness against the elder Baynard and
another, who were a’so implicated in this
horrible murder, under a statute of this
State which provides that a condemned
felon can testify as a wittess against
other parties to the same crime. All the
preparations were made, the scaFold was
in readiness and the crowd had b»en ar
riving from all quarters for several days
to witness the tragedy.
During his imprisonment the wife of
the condemned man was faithful, cii-
stant and devoted in her attendant
upon him. A day did not pass that sh
was not in his cell for several honrs, and
at the last moments with a heroism
worthy of a more noble cause, she saved
him from au ignominious death upon
the soaffold. The night that was to have
been tbe last of Baynard’s earthly exist
ence bad arrived, and upon tho earnest,
tearful and sorrowful entreaty of Ins wife
the jailer compassionately allowed her to
pass the few remaining hours of his life
with him in the cell.
Morning broke clear and bright, and
already the assembled multitude were
astir, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the
hour when the ext-cutioner and the scaf
fold would do t heir terrible work. About
six o’clock a. ii. , the woman came to the
jail door to be let out, with her bonnet
drawn down over her face and a hand
kerchief pressed over her month,through
which her heart-broken sobs burst as the
jailer passed her throngn the outer door
of the prison. She walked slowly off
with feeble gait, bowd figure, and wail
ing pitifully, giving vent to her great
grief, and she was soon lost to the sight
of the gapin guards and morbidly curi
ous snectators.
Breaufast time came at eight o’clock,
and the confident and compassionate
jailer, with a meal—the last the doomed
man was to have eaten—comprised en
tirely of tempting delicacies, repaired to
cell The bars were removed and the
heavy iron door was swung back, and the
jailor entered, when a sight that made
him shake like an aspen leaf met his as
tonished gaze. In the farther end of the
cell, instead of the condemned man,
crouched up in a corner, was a

The plates and dishes with the break
fast fell from the jailer’s hand to the
floor and were broken into fragments.—
He tried to speak, but could find no
words for utterance, and as he stood in
actual despair, the crouching fignre
arose, and, iu the tones of a woman who
thinks sue has done a praiseworthy ac
tion, said, “Well, as Martin is gone, I
reckon I had better eat tne breakfast,
and she forthwith began picking up tli®
scattered portions of the meal. Baynara
had escaped in his
and was doubtless by this time far be-
3 ond the reach of the county officers.
The Sheriff, as soon as apprised of tho
circumstances, set out in pursuit of the
criminal with a posse, but in vain; f° r >
after scouring the country for miles, they
returned without their prisoner.
The "assembled crowd gave ex
pression to their chagrin in va
rious ways, none the least of which was
an anxious desiie on their part to see the
woman hanged in the place of her hus
band, and, indeed, many of them were
firm m the impression that such would
be the case. Having come to see ‘ 8
hangin,” they were not particular as to
who the victim was, whether guilty °. r
innocent, as long as their morbid curi
osity was gratified. It is believed no*
that Baynard will never he recaptured.
