A PENNSYLVANIANS OPINION OF
OUR SECTION.
An Extract from a Recent Letter from
Hon. W. I>. Kelley, in the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record on the
South—A Tribute to Gen.
Wofford, Etc., Etc.
In all ages and countries nations whose
people have 'devoted themselves exclu
sively to agriculture have been liable to
the horrors of famine. This proposition
is one of universal application, and is as
demonstrably true of our country, in the
closing years of the nineteenth century,
as it was in Egypt in the days of thePha
roahs.
Among the brave and determined lead
ers whom Grant paroled at Appomattox
was Gen. Wm. T. Wofford, of Georgia,
llis home was at Uartersville, in the fer
tile and everywhere beautiful valley of
the Etowah, to which, when the terms of
liis parole relieved him from duty on the
staff of Gen. Lee, he immediately return
ed. The valley, clad as it was in the ver
dure of spring, seemed to him more beau-,
tiful than ever; but it was with the charm
of outline and of verdure mingled with
Flora’s daintiest and most brilliant col
oring, and not the beauty which springs
from the promise of future plenty and
comfort. Ilroad acres that would re
ward labor an hundred fold, the condi
tions of nature which promote abundant
crops and thousands of willing laborers
were there, but the conjunction of happy
circumstances was not complete; indeed it
was fatally defective, for, though the sea
son for planting had come, seeds from
which food might be grown were wanting
by the people, ami their fields were their
onl.i resource. A day at home served to
show the great-hearted and keen-eyed
soldier the path of duty; it was to has
ten to the country's capital, and with the
courage ot one who had never faltered on
the field, present to the representatives
of the people, who had approved the
terms of parole which left him in posses
sion of his horse and sword. the necessi
tous condition of the millions whom they
had been unable to subdue until ther last
resource had been exhausted.
As soon as he had adopted this resolu
tion Gen. Wofford hastened Washington,
where it was my privilege to meet him
immediately after his arrival and to co
operate with him in the noble work to
which lie had devoted himself. Happily
my annual quota of seeds had not yet
been drawn upon, and to order it from
the Agricultural Department to iny rooms
and invite the General to avail himself of
the premises for his workshop or head
quarters was the work of but a moment.
During the next day a paper assigning
the quota of seeds belonging to the sign
ers was circulated among the members,
and before the adjournment of the House
the Vegetable seeds to which many North
ern constituencies were entitled, had been
transferred to the order of Gen. Wofford,
who undertook to broaden the range of
his military connections and personal
sympathies.
Upon the suggestion of friends lie also
saw the President, the Secretary of War,
the Secretary of the Interior and the
Commissioner of Agriculture. His pre
seututiou of the condition of the Doople
whom he assumed to -represent made it
apparent that the necessity for immedi
ate relief was too urgent and general to
be met by individual action.
Accounts forwarded to the War De
partment by district commanders con
tinned Gen. Wofford's most deplorable
statements, and invited the immediate
action of Congress in behalf of our suffer
ing countrymen. Unwarranted responsi
bilities were assumed by the chief of the
War and Interior Departments and the
Commissioner of Agriculture while appro
priate legislation was being matured and
enacted. Among the agencies tor system
atic relief that were provided was that of
the Bureau of Refugees and Freedmen,
the law establishing which ignored dis
tinctions of race or color, and provided
for the distribution among the necessi
tous not only of seeds, but of the means
of current subsistence.
My intercourse with Gen. Wofford dur
ing the weeks lie remained in W ashingtou
was as frank and as cordial as mutual re
spect and common endeavor in a cause in
which both were heartily interested could
make it. 1 was conscious of a keen de
sire for information as to the industrial
condition of the South, and especially as
to its agriculture; and well do I remem
ber the surprise with which I learned that
its farmers never availed themselves ol
the invigorating and otherwise profitable
practice of rotating crops, but devoted
themselves to cotton growing, and re
sorted to imported or manufactured fer
tilizers when able to pay for them. It was
while portraying the fatal influence of the
one-crop system that 1 alluded to the
great value of clover in promoting a sup
ply of barn-yard manure and in the ele
ments which the plant itself gives to the
soil when, after having yielded crops of
hay, it is ploughed under. The response
to these suggestions was that clover had
not been believed to be among the possi
ble crops of Georgia. 1 recur at this time
to the conversation of that evening be
cause of the intense surprise with which 1
listened to Gen. Wofford’s statement,and
because he then expressed the hope that
the discovery of a small bag of clover
seed among the effects of a fugitive from
Northeastern Virginia might lead to the
general cultivation in his part of the State
of that benoficient grass though the be
lief that it could not be grown in Georgia
had been universal.
Under the influence of a series of exper
mental plantings of seed from his acci
dental sack by the Virginia farmer this
talse belief was, he said, yielding to the
power of demonstration, as every such
experimental planting had been followed
by an abundant crop. Though I had
heard much of the artless and exhausting
culture of the cotton lands of the Gulf
States and of the low-lands generally of
the South, I would not have believed on
testimony that could be questioned that
the same fatal improvidence had charac
terized the recent methods of the farmers
of the once famous wheat-growing val
leys of upper Georgia. I could not, how
ever, question the statements of my in
formant; and rapidly accumulating evi
dence forced upon me the conviction that,
though the people of the South were so
devoted to planting interests as to beun
willing to permit the establishment among
them of work-shops, foundries, mining
camps, furnaces, forges, factories, and
the commercial, professional and social
accessories of such establishments, they
were in no just sense of the word agricul
turists, and each day furnished abound
ing proof that they knew nothing of “the
art or science of cultivating the earth;”
that they were not cultivators of the
fields, and did not practice “husbandry
| with frugality and thrift.” They grew
) cotton in some sections, sugar in others,
tobacco, rice and hemp each in other sec
tions, but they did not raise their own
household supplies, or make and gather
domestic fertilizers with which to invig
orate their famished fields. Since the
war cotton seed has by various processes
of manufacture become almost an profit
able as the crop of lint, one of its prod
ucts being an absolute refutation of the
theory that successful cotton growing
must impoverish the soil. 1 allude to
cotton seed cake, the residum from which
the oil has been pressed, which is a nutri
tious food for cattle and horses, and an
element of inestimable value in barn-yard
manure. But in the days of which 1
write the cotton seed not required for
j diluting was loosely scatteie i over the
fields as a cheap fertilizer. In no part of
the South in which I have traveled have
I been able to discover evidence that
fields from which crops were expected ha 1
received from their husbandmen the sus
tenance and care that a wife might ex
pect from even a shiftless husband, or the
provident care that the.law exacts from
a ship’s husband. Some of the impress
ions on this phint made upon me by the
terrible effects of the destructive methods
of the so-called agriculturists of the South
during my trip in the spring of 1887,
just twenty years before my recent visit,
were happily recorded by a reporter of
the Phila lelphia Inquirer, and may lie
found in a volume published by Henry
Carey Baird in 1872.

LAWTON IN AUSTRIA.
Why His Reception by the Emperor
was Delayed—'The Cordial Greet
ing Given Him.
From tho Atlanta Constitution.
This beautiful Austrian capital has
been described so often that it is unneces
sary for me to say a word concerning its
stately palaces, its magnificent streets,its
parks and gardens and the characteris
tics of its people.
Doubtless your readers have seen vari
ous telegrams and editorials in the Amer
ican newspapers touching the dely in the
presentation of General Lawton, the new
American minister, to theemperor. Some
affect to believe that this dely had some
connection with the recent “stranded re
lations” existing between the two gov
ernments, but in point of fact there is
nothing peculiar or mysterious about it,
and two other foreign ministers have
kept General Lawton company, awaiting
the proper or convenient time for their
presentation.
Tlie matter will be better understood
when I state that at the time of Minister
Lawton’s arrival the Emperor had gone
to the mountains (Isch) for his usual
summer vacation, and nearly all the di
plomatic corps had gone into the coun
try. The miniser’s “letter of credence”
could only be presented to the Emperor
in “private audience,” and according to
court customs this could only take place
at his palace in Vienna, the capital of the
empire. Count Kalnoky, the minister of
foreign affairs, received our minister cor
dially on his arrival, and expressed his
regret that he should be subjected to the
unavoidable delay in meeting the Em
peror, who was not expected to visit the
capital before the 20th of August, thus
delaying an “audience” until that time.
Everything turned out just as Count
Kalnoky had explained it. The Emperor
returned in the latter part of August,and
on the 25th Minister Lawton was receiv
ed and presented his letter from the Pres
ident. A pleasant and cordial interview,
entirely free from embarrassment, took
dlgdw 4xwl I uii’inii
duly authorized to enter tiprm "The dis
charge of his duties as “minister plenipo
tentiary,” etc., etc.
While the General was waiting for the
imperial recognition he was bv no means
idle. He availed himself of the opportu
nity to visit numerous places of interest
in Austria, traveling rather “incog,” as
it were, and the time was by no means
thrown away. No doubt his travels
through the empire will better qualify
him for the discharge of his duties at this,
the most formal court in Europe, and on
that account it is perhaps fortunate that
he was not presented when he arrived
early in July.
In democratic America it is impossible
to understand how intense the etiquette
is here, and yet a minister must conform
to it in a great measure or be quite una
ble to discharge his functions fully. The
truth is, European diplomacy is very
much the same as successful social life in
high circles. The friend of General Law
ton will feel assured that his modest dig
nity will be all that could be desired in
the representative of the world’s foremost
republic. Traveler.

The pin is of great antiquity, is oval

Fallen in the Race.
From the Anniston Hot Mast.]
Ah exchange ways: “The oldest prin
ter in Georgia is C. W. Hancock. For
more than half a century he has stood
at the case and at the desk. Half the
time as editor and proprietor of the
Sumter Republican, he has made his in
fluence felt in his section of the state.
Now, in his old age, his friends have de
serted him and withdrawn their patron
age from him, and the old man is com
pelled to severe his connection with the
paper. This is too bad; but our best
wishes follow our old journalistic friend
wherever he may go.”
This is a sad recital. It illustrates the
necessity of keeping up with the proces
sion. Once you dropout, as an old man,
the stirring, pushing, eager throng rush
es by indifferent or heartless. Savage
tribes permit their aged to perish by the
wayside. Once an explorer in the Rocky
mountains found an old man thus aban
doned. He made no complaint. “I left
my father in the same way,” he said.
Cliristain people, as a rule, succor their
heljtless brethren. Doubtless Mr. Han
cock lost his hold on affairs and had
survived what was called usefulness.
The world had pushed ahead and for
saken him. Thereshould be some friends
left, among his own - professsion, either
to give the old editor and printer a
chance for work or some substantial
recognition.
There are men in the profession of
journalism who have made millions of
dollars. They cannot carry them to the
other world. They can consecrate their
wealth by a noble stewardship. Is it
strange that none of the opulent news
paper men ever thought, so far as we
know, to provide a home for editors and
printers, who, after long years of toil,
cannot any more support themselves.
We take it, meanwhile, that Mr. Han
cock will not be wholly deserted, and
that God will raise up some provision
for the few days remaining to this faith
ful brother who has been conquered in
the fierce battle of life and has the melan
choly fate of seeing to live too long. Out
of our own small resources we will con
tribute to any fund the brethren of the
press may see lit to inuauguate.

THE ANARCHISTS DOOMED
Judgment Affirmed by the Su
preme Court of Illinois.
The Seven Haymarket Murderers to l>e Ex
ecuted November 11—Intense Excite
ment at Chicago—An Impres
sive Scene in Court.
Ottawa, 111., Slept. Id.—The Supreme
Court this morning delivered an opinion
in the anarchist case, affirming the judg
inent of the court below, the execution to
take place November 11, between 9 and
4 o’clock.
Just before the opening of court, every
one seemed to have a feeling that some
thing was going to happen. Before the
hour for convening court, lawyers and re
porters seemed to have that, feeiiug, and
conversed with each other in subdued
tones, v Even Barker, the janitor, who lias
waited upon every Justice of the Supreme
Court that has sat upon the bench in Ot
tawa, tip-toed around in opening and
dusting the court room, as if he was
afraid of breaking the deathly stillness
that pervaded the entire building. Dep
uty Smith faltered and his voice trem
bled as he pronounced the “Hear ye.” As
the Justices filed into the court room,
headed bp Chief Justice Sheldon, they ap
peared more dignified than ever. The
Chief Justice waived his associates to
their seats even more stately than his
wont. His nod to the sheriff was more
stiff, and his “open court” less audible
than on previous days of the term. Jus
tice Magruder appeared flushed and nerv
ous as he entered the court room, the
cause of which was evidenced a few mo
ments later when Chief Justice Sheldon
turned to him, and and in a voice which
would have been inaudible save for the
deathly stillness which pervaded the
room, said:
“Justice Magruder, have you any an
nouncement to make?”
The flushed appearance of the Justice
changed to that of palor, and his voice
was husky as he responded:
“In August Spies and others against
the people of the State of Illinois, No. 59,
advisement of docket.”
The Chief Justice nervously turned the
leaves of the court docket to the case in
dicated, when the Justice read the decis
ion of the court in the “anarchist case.”
As he commenced reading he regained
his composure. His vaice was clear and
distinct until the order fixing-the death
penalty and date of execution was
reached, when his reading liecame labor
ed, his voice husky, and his manner
showed it was with the greatest emotion
that he performed the duty he had been
delegated by his associates to perform.
Having voiced the decision of the court
in the most celebrated case it has ever
been called upon to decide, the Justice
who made the announcement at once left
the bench and retired to his room.
INDIVIDUAL, OPINION OF THE JUDGES.
Opinion by Magruder: “In this case
t.he iii-Li'iui;ii r tif t.hp<tfurt lwdnw is affirm
ed as to all, and as to each and every one
of the defendants. An opinion has been
prepared setting forth the reasons of the
affirmation of the judgment. The opin
ion is now handed to theclerktobefiled.”'
Judge Sheldon announced that he con
curred in the opinion.
Judge Mulkey,in his announcement,said:
“It is not my intention to offer a oper
ate opinion, us I should have done. I
desire to avail myself of this occasion to
say that, while I concur in the conclu
sions reached, and also in the general
views as entered in the opinion filed, I do
not wish to be understood as holding
that the record is free from error, for I
do not think it is. I am, nevertheless, of
the opinion that none of the errors com
plained of are of such serious character
as to require a reversal of the judgment.
In view of the number of defendants on
trial, the great length of time consumed
in the trial, the vast amount of testi
mony offered and passed upon by the
Court, and the almost numberless rulings
the Court was required to make, the
wonderment is that the errors were not |
more numerous and of a more serious
character than they are. In short, after
having fully examined the record and
giving the questions arising on it my
very best thought, with an earnest and
conscientious desire to faithfully dis
charge my whole duty, I am fully satis
fied that the opinion reached vindicates
the law and does complete justice be
tween the people of the State and the
defendants, fully warranted by the law
and the evidence.”
Judge" Sheldon. In this case the Court
orders that the sentence of the Superior
Court of Cooke County of the defendants
in the indictment—August Spies, Samuel
Fielden, R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer,
Engel, Michael Schwab and Louis Lingg,
be carried into effect by the Sheriff of
Cooke County, on the 11th day of No
vember next, on Friday, between the
hours of 10 o'clock in the forenoon and
4 o’clock in the afternoon on that day.
The judgment of the Court was unani
mous.
The opinion was written by Judge Ma
gruder, of the Chicago District, and is an
ample exposition of the law and pre
vious interpretation thereof by eminent
jurists in this country, as well as the
courts, bearing upon the alleged and
perhaps real errors in this record. In
this work he was ably helped by each of
the other six distinguished Judges, who
made him their spokesman, and through
him expressed their unanimons decision.
The opinion covers 225 pages of closely
written manuscript, and contains about
55,000 words.
The anarchists had no counsel here to
represent them before the court as the
decision was announced, and no steps
were taken in their behalf. They have
fifteen days in which to file a motion for
a rehearing, and thirty days from the
close of the term to file a petition in sup
port thereof. This will not act as a stay
of sentence, and they will have to show
very strong grounds before the court
would consent to the issue of a stay of
execution until a rehearing could be had
next term.
HOW THE ANARCHISTS RECEIVED THE NEWS.
Chicago, 111., September 14.— The first
official information that reached this
city was a telegram from the court clerk
at" Ottawa to the State's Attorney's of
fice here, saying:
“Anarchist cases affirmed; execution
November 11.”
Mr. Purcell, of the State's Attorney's
office, ran at once to the jail with the
dispatch. Following on his heels was a
messenger carrying a telegram for
August Spies that had been sent from
Ottawa by the agent of the anarchists.
The turnkey, who took the dispatch to
cell 25 and shoved it through the bars,
lingered a moment to watch the effect it
would have on Spies. The anarchist
took the message, glanced firmly at the
turnkey, and then withdrew to the darker
end of the cell. In two minutes or so he
called gently to the old man who sits as
death-watch outside the barred door
and asked him to hand the yellow tele
graph sheets to Parsons. From him it
went to all the others, and last reached
Neebe, who is ouly under sentence of im
prisonment.
Newspaper men had been rigorously
shut out, from the condemned men and
all observations had to be taken from
the outside of the cage, about ten yards
from the <*ell door. It could lie dimly
seen that each of the condemned men
made ostentatious efforts at coolness
and bravado. They took seats at their
cell doors and read newspapers and
books, smoked cigars, and once Lingg.
the bombmaker, whistled. Their wives
and friends had been with them for an
hour during the morning, but about
thirty minutes before the news came
they were all excluded and the prisoners
locked up, each alone by himself.

how many miles a man’s jaw will travpl
in the course of his life, assuming that
he lives to be 70 years of age?”
“Well, I never thought of it,” answered
a young man, who halted in his wild
career of lieefsteak. The dyspeptic man
changed his seat and exposed a much
soiled piece of pajier with some figures
on it, which he proceeded to explain:
“For the first ten years a child’s jaw
will go about 55 inches daily or 200,750
inc hes altogether in a decade. From his
tenth to his twentieth year, what with
chewing gum, food and tobacco, he will
work his jaw for say four hours a day, at
an average of %of an inch per minute;
that would make in a day 120 inches, or
in the ten years 438,000 inches. During
this time he will talk about five hours a
day, traversing about % of an inch a
minute with his jaw; that would give in
ten years 822,250 incites to be added to
our former figures.
“For the next forty-five years he will
spend say 60 minutes a day in eating
when he will open his mouth % an inch a
minute and seven hours in talking, when
lie will average % of an inch ; that is when
you figure it out, 5,008,625 inches.
“We now have our man 65 years old.
For the last five years his a rest. He
will eat no more than 30 minutes a day
at % inch a minute, or 27,345 inches, and
in talking the distance traveled wiil not
amount to more than 338,500 inches.
Now for the total, if we add the various
sums together, wo get 6,835,470 inches,
and dividing by 63,360, the number of
inches in a mile, you find that the max
illary journey is a distance of 107 miles
and a fraction.”
“That is certainly interesting,” said
the young man. “Have you ever calcu
lated the same lip-trip for a woman?”
“My dear boy,” came the slow, sad re
ply, “life is short.”
How Pale You Are!

to another. The fact is not a pleasant
one to have to mention, but still the act
may be a kindly one, for it sets the one
addressed to thinking, apprises her of
the fact that she is i.ot in good health,
and leads her to seek a reason therefor.

With the exception of the line of steam

vice from the Brunswick Journal, will ap

much force:
Every great result which the history of
our country is the result of combined
effort. The adage “In union there is
strength,” is older than the memory of
man, and as true as any words ever
written. Combined effort accomplishes
in a comparatively brief period, that
which individual effort has worn itself
out in the vain endeavor to attain. The
question is a serious one for the citizens
of Brunswick to consider, now, whether
the advance of this point to the position
of a prominent port shall be made the
aim of united effort or not. It is un
doubtedly true that some day it will be
come a prominent port; that it will
steadily move forward, its “natural ad
vantages” gradually pressing it on, but
in the interval the children of the present
generation will pass away as have the
children of past generations who were as
familiar with these “natural advan
tages” as we are.
This is an age of progress, and the
city or the people wffiich rely upon “natu
ral advantages” for their prosperity and
advancement, and make no effort for
themselves, will invariably “get left.”
Brunswick has grown wonderfully in the
past three years. Buildings have sprung
up in every direction, new enterprises
and new jieople have come in, and there
is every reason to believe in the great
ness of future possibilities. But it is
beyond question that it would have ad
vanced trebly as rapidly had there been
unanimity of action heretofore. While a
few men have worked and struggled, and
given of their time, their talent and their
means for the advancement of the city’s
interest, many have held aloof, refusing
to aid the work in any way, but perfectly
ready to come in for their share of the
benefits. Some have comprehended the
good results to be attained, and have
fallen into line and it is now high time
that every man understood that the
common good means individual good,
that corporate gains represent jiersonal
dividends of profit. There is no reason
why the assessed valuation of our prop
erty should not be multiplied by three
within that time. There is no reason
why we should not have a dozen manu
factories of articles we now import, giv
ing employment to hundreds of men,
and circulating the money at home that
now goes away. There is no reason why
we should not have a direct line of steam
ers to New York and Boston, instead of
being made a haphazard way station;
no reason why roads centering here
should not be improved and direct lines
of sleepers and parlor cars bring the
guests to fill our new hotel; no reason
why the Brunswick Journal, which
will be the Brunswick Daily after Octo
ber Ist, should not be made a grand suc
cess, and the principal lever for pushing
the city and its advantages to the front;
we say that that there is no reason why
all these things and more should not be,
if our people will one and all, rich and
poor alike say: “We will pull together,
and each do all in our power to attain
these results.’

bond purchases.
The President Replies to the Criticism of
the Rejection of Recent Offers.
\\ ASHiXGTox, Sept. 12.—1n regard to
the purehase of bonds by the Govern
ment the President said to-day to a rep
sentative of the Associated Press: “The
criticism upon the action of the Treasury
Department for refusal to accept any of
the offers of bonds last Wednesday, it
seems to me, is inconsistently made. In
the first place, the offers are higher, con
sidering the lapse of time they had to
run, than they had heretofore been, and
did not present terms as favorable to the
Government. In the next place the num
ber offered was much less than on former
occasions. These facts may well give rise
to the inference that the [icople holding
these bonds preferred them to money.
The Government wants to buy bonds to
answer the requirements of the law re
lating to the sinking fund, and it is will
ing to advance the interest on such
bonds as are not bought and thus sup
ply any immediate demand there may 1 e
lor the money. These two movements of
the Treasury Department are calculated
to release a good deal of money, and
turn it into business channels, if n
-but they are are both executive
acts, and must lie performed with due
regard to the interests of the Govern
ment as one of the parties to these trans
actions. There is no disposition to drive
sharp bargains with holders of bonds,
but it will not do to say that then* is no
side to the bargain except that of the
seller and holder, and that these bonds
must lie bought and interest advanced
on such terms ns their interest alone die
tap's. The competition offered in the
sale of bonds is a just way to fix their
price and will Im* fairly pursued !is long as
if seems to protect against an undue ad
vantage on the part of sellers anti results
in offers which, upon business considera
tions, ought to regulate their value as
between private parties. The Govern
ment ought not to be exjteeted, regard
less of any public purpose, to identify
itself with private business or sp*eula
tion.”

He Was Going to Holland.
[Darien, Ga. Gazette.)
Sailors are scarce in this section at
present and this gives rise to many amus
ing attempts on the part of our “ship
ping masters’’ to enlist “greenhorns.”
Georgians generally are not of a roving
disposition, and Georgia negroes are
particularly averse to being carried on
going to foreign parts. Occasionally, a
“cullud”'man takes it into his head that
there are other places as good as home,
and into him the “shipping master”
plunges his talons with rare relish. There
is money in a sailor who is not familiar
with the ropes, and money is the ship
ping master’s deity.
Forester Maxwell, colored, came down
on a raft of timtier the other day. Inad
vertently he exercised his vocal powers
on a veritable sailor song. The shipping
master pricked up his ears and chuckled
inwardly.

“How would yoq like to go to Hol

“Fust rate, only l’se got only one shirt
wid me,” said the innocent darkey.
“Well I'll buy another, and when you
get to Holland you can buy as many as
you want.
“How fur to Holland?”
“A little bit further than from Lumber
City to Darien.”
“All right,” said the guileless up-coun
try darkey. “If Jim Pearson comes

Forester Maxwell is now, much to his
discomfiture, we imagine, sailing the
ocean blue on the British bark Perpefua,
while the wily shipping master, with a
swelled purse, is on the lookout for new
victims:
A Railroad Man Testifies.
Mr. Ransom Montgomery states the
following: For twelve long weary months
I was afflicted with diarrheea. I tried
several physicians and various remedies
all to no effect. I was reduced to a mere
skeleton and gradually sinking every
day; indeed I was upon the brink of the
grave. I heard of Dr. Riggers’ Huckle

THE PLEASURES OF HANGING.
Death on the Callow* Relieved to beFuin
le* and Enjoyable.
If those are to be believed who, having
been more or less hanged, have been re
suscitated and have narrated their ex
periences, the much commiserated victim
of the law’s extreme penalty is not
wholly miserable. It would seem that
even death “sus per coll.” has its ameli
orating conditions of circumstances.
One sufferer in the religious cause in
France is said to have “complained” be
cause he was called back to consciousness
from an experience of surpassing de
lights, in which he enjoyed the pleasure
of gazing upon the most beautiful scen
ery. The immediate sensation of pain is
momentary; and it would apj>ear not
unlikely that, in our anxiety for the
avoideuce of needless annoyance to
those we put to death judicially, we may
be actually increasing their sufferings
and diminishing their pleasure.
The instantaneous deaths have all the
pain and little or none of the pleasure.
Slowly induced congestion of the brain
may be least painful, and if only the
blood pressure be effectually raised at
the centre that sees, the beautiful light
and charming scenery are enjoyed in the
highest perfection. The subject is a
grim one, and we are not sure that the
new view of hanging experience tends to
make the death penalty increasingly
deterrent; but it is right that both sides
of a question, which the late Mr. W hal
ley once excited the merriment of the
whole House of Commons by describing
as “poor man’s question," should be
carefully considered at all costs.
