Information eerfully given. CARTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY. SEPT. 22, 1887. 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. A Lock of Washington’s Hair. From the Dalton, Ga., Citizen. A Dalton lady is the owner of a breast pin which curiosity collectors would no doubt give a good round sum to possess. The pin is of great antiquity, is oval shaped and made of the purest yellow gold, and within a circle of diamonds of the brightest lustre is a lpck of General George Washington’s hair. It is said a most tempting sum was once offered lor this pin. 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 Five Boys. T. I).

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. A JAW'S TRAVEL. Curious Statistics Gathered by au Katiug House Friend. From the Philadelphia News.] The noon-day customers were drop ping out one by one from a Kansom street restaurant, when a dyspeptic look ing man who sat at the next table star tled me by saying: “Have you any idea 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! is frequently the exclamation of one lady 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. Pallor is almost always attendant upon the first stages of consumption. The system is enfeebled, and the blood is im poverished. Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” will act as a tonic upon the system, will enrich the impoverished blood, uud restore ryse-s to the cheek. Pull Together. With the exception of the line of steam e.-s to New York, the following good ad vice from the Brunswick Journal, will ap ply to the citizens of Cartersville with 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.’ Do you suffer from scrofnla, salt rheum or other humors?

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.” “I Love Her Better Than Life.” Well, then, why don’t you do some thing to bring back the roses to her cheeks and the light to her eyes?

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. ‘‘Know sometkimr suilorimr?” mA** l tut* won. i “Guess I does, l'se been running on a steamboat in de l ibber fer two months,” answered the lamb. “How would yoq like to go to Hol land?” continued the purveyor of tars. “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 down on a raft in de mornin’ ax him to tell Eliza dat l’se going to Holland and won’t be back for two or three days.

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 berry Cordial, and I used' one bottle and at once felt theimprovement. The second made a final cure. 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.
