LADY SNOUTED.
The G Acini Whipping in Public of Al.
esasdrian Knooowits—The Penalty
af Sympathy with Itehcls.
At a gathering of Poles in the
little vill tge of Kernst on the South
ern Nnieman, on the 29th of July
laaU tri>en all thought themselves
secure from the intrusion of any of
the numerous spies who keep the
Knnian officials informed of the
malcontents among them. Alex«-
andrina Kossowitz, a young lady
whose father, the younger son of a
formerly noble Polish family, was
killed in the recent troubles at
Wuaaw, expressed her sympathy
with the nnforttinates whom Rush
sian severity had murdered or sent
into exile. The meeting was a
purely social one, and none dreamed
that anything said there would
reach the ears of spies, for all pre
sent were known to be Poles, and
firm haters of the harsh rule under
which they then lived. Still, as the
jam* girl^ in her passionate res
membrances of a father’s love, de*.
plored bis death, expressed her
sympathy with rebellion and her
detestation of her oppressors, she
was cautioned lest her load tone
would enable people at the window
to hfTt her. WUh a hasty glance
as though to read in the* faces of
thpae about her who should betray
bar, the young lady relapsed into
silence: When ten o’clock arrived,
the latest hour of Polish gatherings,
the company separated, and the
young lady, accompanied by her
affianced, 'Julian Temensky, went
to her home.
If, in passing from the house of
the gathering she had been more
observant, Alexandrina would have
seed <bb' toidiriously triumphant
S aiMMUfftafter her by Catherine
erkofT, a woman of about thirty
five, a Pole by birth, and a sym
pathizer with ner unhappy country
women whenever her own passion
was not concerned, and, from the
rufbfry^fct^ Jrh|idMh| it seems
that in tliis case she nod been suV
peneded in the affections of the
young Dr. Temensky by the more
beautiful and younger Alexandrina
Kossowitz.
On the following day, shortly
after rising, Alexandrina was seized
in her own home, a short distance
from Kernst, by two Cossacks of
the guard at the garrison, and taken
bofiwetfcepetty judge.

stick or. hao|)S, two feet long, with
a lash four feet long of soft leather,
to the end of which" W attached, by
a loop, a piece of flat raw hide two
inches wide and two feet Ions. In
the hands of an experienced nlan
the piece of raw hide Can be,made
to cut like a knife.
As the executioner stood feeing
the scaffold Alexandrina KossowitsS
was brought to him by her guard,
and in a fer moments*her clothing
was removed to the waist, despite
her almost mute appeals to be spared
the shame. As she pleaded she
was bent on the plane, her hands
strapped to the two upper corners,
and her ankles secured at the feet
of the structure. One of the exe*
cutioner’s assistants held her head,
and the petty judge gave the order
for whipping to commence. Twirl
ing the long lash in the air the exe
cutioner stepped suddenly back
wards, and with sharp crack the
thong fell on the back of the sob*
bing girl, catting a livid streak from
her nght shoulder to he* waist A
terrible tremor passed over her, and
a low cry escaped her lips, but it
was the only sound she uttered,
and were it not -for the blood which
commenced to flow,- might
have seemed that the whipping was
being done on the naked back of a
corpse. When the lash had been
given, the young lady was unfasten
ed, and, with her clothing rudely
thrown over her, she was taken to
prison, and there, after thanking
the judge for bis mercy, according
to the necessary formula, she was
delivered over to her friends.
Five days afterwards, the Gazette
of Wilna contained this announce*
ment: “The Polish criminal, Al>
exandrina Kossowitz (daughter of
the rebel, Peter Kossowitz), who
was knouted for seditious utterance
on the 29tb of July at Kernst,
while submitting her lacerations to
medical treatment, in the house of
the physician, Kemensky, stole a
vial of prussic acid, with which she
ended her days.”
TiieLong Branch.—The Long
Brancbers are doubtful of Grant’s
reflection, and in order that the
place may not lose the prestige of
the Presidential presence, they pro
pose to buv a good-sized plot of
ground, erect upon it a magnificent
cottage, furnish it from top to bot
tom in the highest style, and then
cede land and establinsment to the
United States, as a summer resi
dence for the Chief Magistrate.
Tbe Long Branchers may as well
defer the execution of this little
project for fouryearaUt least Presi

The Paris Rag-pickers.—Many
Paris rag pickers make six francs
a day, or rather per night Their
headquarters are fixed at the Pot-
d’Etain public house, where there
are three large rooms, called respect

Chamber of Deputies, and the Pro

dependent on the fatness of the

uman misery, customers i have ta

between client and shopkeeper as
to the largeness of neck and length

tossed over the screen, and '• the

departs in due course, leaving his
soiled garment behind.
Hard on Editors.—An editor
relates how a colored barber made
a dead-head of him. He offered
him the usual dime for shaving,
wheh the fellow drew himself up
with uoftaderable promposity. and
said: “ I understand dat you is an

say we. “ We nebercharge editors

we continued, “there are a good

and such liberality on your part
