I be New v ork State authorities made experiments roceatly to sat iil’y themselves as the best means of excouiin:.*;criminals by electrici ty. The first experiment was made upon a while cur, weighing about twenty-on® pounds, one wire was f and to his right- fore log and the other to hi left hind leg. The application was m.de for ten sec onds and theaeim&l died painless ly, wit rent noise or struggle. The next trial was made upon a black t; mgrel Newft midland, weighing S7| pounds, connections were at tached to the middle of his fo:c head with a metal plate covered with felt, and with his right hind leg, the current was turned on tor fifteen seconds and it killed him. It was tried successfully upon lour calves. The last experiment was tried upon a horse weighing bSO pounds with equally satisfactory results. In every case death was ins: ancons and without a struggle. Vi'x* hsisgf f. a 2 e tei°. f Frors Ibo Jocum;l t Co-:t* • ndent. j ! Washington, March 25, 1889, — Bops:, which ia said to be the most persistent thing in politics, again springs in tho breast of the patient and lowly office seeker, and at night when ha sits by his virtuous couch and counts the money ia his inside pocket, he begins to feel mildly encouraged. Ho is not, of ceurso elated ©r hilarious, but he is nearly as happy as he over ex pects to be in this cruel civil service world, Ke of the rank and file of c.ffic; seekers has already discover ed that ho would be satisfied with a smaller seclion of the earth than he first requested, and has chang ed his application to a lesser posi tion. The present crowd ef office seek ers is not, however, as easily satis fied as wer® lheplace hunters who came here whan Mr. Cleveland was elected. Many cf fhe latter were willing 1 1 accept anything at all, from secretary of a department to the laborer who pushes ©ut its dirt. They were essentially homeo pathic in their school, believing that a very little office was a good thing and practically as efficacious as agr ;:l c.-rfi of po.fit.WuS. Is tire tinny exhibited more courage than Sec so, ns m my afterwards discovered to their eternal sorrow, as it is shown by tho really remarkable list <>! ra> gn lions of I'erarora!>i during the Clave ml administration.
