It is made of strong canvass, in the shape of a club about twenty inches long, and from six to eight inches in circumference.: This bag or club is filled with closely-packed, fine sand, and weighs from five to ten pounds, and has great advantage over thd ordinary club or bludgeon, brass knuckles' or slunjr-sbot. It will not rebound after a blow is struck, and it leaves no mark or bruise. .Whence victim is struck on the top of the nead, and there is where the sand-club is. directed, ho instantly sinks to tho pavement, without atrugglo, the re sult of concussion to the brain,, and not even a bruise,' which any ordinary blunt instrument makes, is tb bo discovered on the scalp of the vicljm, aftor tho sand club has performed its fearful mission.
