His step was linn nnd steady, and upon arriving at tho edge oflho seal- fold, ho gazed at tile dread Instrument of death without the least exhibition of fear, no matter wluit wild thoughts may have made a theatre of his breast. It was a beautiful day. The ground upon which ho stood, and thu island surrounding it, were fresh and green with tho kiss of early spring; Manhattan Island, with ilsstee- jlcB and towers, gleamed in the distance, and the bright blue waters of the hay wero leaping in the glad morning sunlight. “livery object invited the privileges of existence, mul rebuked the very idea of death. “But by no expression of tho doomed mail’s lace could lie detected tho slightest emoliun. lie submitted tS llio long and tedious reading of his sentence without impatience, mid made the few remarks in palliation of ids crime which have been recorded in our daily press', hut just bo- foro tlio lilnek cap was drawn over ids face—heaven! what tin inflnltudo of love and homily it shut out at suelt an hour. I Wlio stood nenrest to him, with tlio ex ception of tlio hangman—I, alone, heard .tillered these words: ‘I am coming luyun quickly, Alice—do lint think Imnnfrnlu.’ “Tlio-tone of his voice was low and steady, and I he next instant lie was launch ed into eternity, but there, was something brave nnd simple in those last words, the memory of which has never ceased lo haunt iile.” Perils of Pcarl-lUvIng. * Tlio chief dangers tlio dlvorshavb toon- counter, nilor Hie preliminary physical dlf- IlcuHlcs attendant upon diving nnd work ing at so great a depthlinvo been got over, Is froth ground sliarks.

Tho Nation (Radical) one of the most candid and thoughtful journals of the par ty in poAver, in its lust issue uses the fol- loA^ing language: It seems not at all likely that ant shall witness something of the same kind dur ing tho coming fall. It is easting no ex traordinary discredit on the Republican party to say that ever since 1805 it has been losing its hold on thu popular allee- tlon. It had a very dillleitlL Avork to do in reconstruction, and one for Avhieh the experience of the Avar bail hardly lilted its leaders, and which, from its very nature, Avus sure to damage the reputation of any party Avhich undertook it. It wns enabled to carry it out successfully solely owing to Andrew Johnson’s folly and the .Sotilh’s obstinacy and stupidity, lldw deeply tlio leaders felt the importance of Johnson’s folly to the party avus well shown by thu frantic ellbrts made by them and by the party papers to liiagnily his “crimes” nnd tlio gravity of tho impeachment trial. In addition to this, the party has had the spending for eight years of enormous sums of money, mul has been forced to collect and disburse it Avithout .anv adequate udiuinislmtivu machinery. The conse quence, anft the inevitable consequence, lias Iteeii not only that the party lias had to shoulder thu responsibility of great abuses, hut has had to witness the acces sion to its ranks of a prodigious number of knaves anil adventurers, and to hear thu burden of their “loyally” and “sound ness,” while, entirely unable to put a stop to their plundering mul peculating. 8oine allowance, too, in investigating the cause of tlu? doclinuof the party in popular esti mation must, of course, he miule lor the weariness of any parly which has been long in power which inevitably comes over the public before many years. Many peo ple forget llu? misdeeds of the opposition, are constantly fretted by the faults of the administration, and gradually Avorkcd themselves first into a belief that any change Avould be for the l>etter, and then into a determination to have a change of some kind at any cost. The parly was, therefore, in a somewhat sorry plight at tho approach of tlu? Presi dential election; and if it had made up its mind to discard (5 rant, and democrats had made up their minds to lake Uhase, there is, avc believe, little doubt in the minds of careful observers that it Avould have gone to pieces. Here the folly of the opposi tion, combined Avilh tlu; energetic action of the sensible men at Llu? Chicago Coiiatu- tion, postponed the evil day. As it aviis, Grant may be said to have achieved a res pectable victory only by the peculiarities of tlie elective machinery. Had lie been dependent on a direct popular vote, he Avould barely have escaped defeat. Not ii He|iroiti*ittntlvo Man.
