Dlffemt Views of a Hangman.
There to no lack of competitors for the
office of executioner when the operation
has to be performed In England, but in
Ireland there to a great prejudice against
undertaking It and there have been diffi
culties sometimes in the colonies in flnd
ini an operator. Marwood used to say he
never experienced any unpopularity in
England and accounted for Calcraft being
sometimes, badly received by saying that
“Mr. Calcraft never made himself agree
able. ” Going to Wales on one occasion to
fulfill his office in the case of a foreigner
wbo had committed several brutal mur
ders, he found himself quite popular and.
was received at the station when about to
depart with a sort of ovation, to which he
responded affably, saying be hoped he
might “before long have occasion to visit
them again. ”
On the other hand, on coming back
from Cork, where be had been to carry
out the duties of his profession because no
native could tfe found to do the job, he
had rather a rough experience, for on
board the steamer he overheard a conver
sation between two Irishmen, one of whom
related that he heard the hangman was on
board, to which the other replied that
could be find him he would throw Mm
overboard during tbe night. Marwood on
this thought it well to retire to hto bed in
a dark corner and did not make hto ap
pearance any more until the steamer was
well in tbe dock in England.—Chambers’
Journal.

Lemons for Insomnia.
From the Ashville Chronicle.
The Rev. T. 8. Brown, the pastor of the
Lutheran church of this city, is running
opposition to Bishop Lyman on insomnia
cures. Mr. Brown yesterday told a Chron
icle reporter that lemon juice, diluted and
taken just before retiring, will almost cer
tainly produce sound and refreehingsleep.
Mr. Brown also said that he had learned
from an eminent physician that if diluted
lemon juice were drunk after a heavy dose
of quinine, it would prevent latter’s caus
ing buzzing in the head.
