C Great Britain at 8 3J o'clock this morn
lg (mountain tlrao).
Tho scaffold (or tho execution ot Kiel
ad been erected within a contracted in-
loturo ltnmccllatclylntho rcarol tho guard-
ouse, and tho only view ot It was through
window Immediately under a ratter. Tho
ist sacrament was administered to tho

ho scaffold. Ho responded to tho Latin
ravers wltli a lull nnd clear volco whllo on

Inloncdlio looked up, slowly repeating It's
rajers. Ho then walked through; tho
menlne and down tho narrow sralrwar.
villi his faco turned away from tho few
iviuans and soldiers who stoou aootu 1110
veiling. When ho was about to toko lus
mi tho tran tho denutv sheriff asked
f ho had an) thing to say. Ho turned to

'Shall I not say n few words I" "No,"
ulel.lv replied tho rrlcst In French: "mako

fbero was somo delay In adjusting tho noose,
ui itici (liu nor, rcmarK upon it, ami its uto
vltlto cap closed over him no vyastobo heard
llstlnctly repealing his prajers. During tho
light Pcio Andro urged upon ltlcl not
o attempt nu ninircss tipun tuo scunuiu,
md mirrcated that n ronrlcvo might still bo
in Its way, but this Idea ltlcl strenuously
epencu. 110 said uo Know ma uouruni
onic, and that ho was not only prepared,
mt that bo vv ould not havo It nnv other
way, as nothing but tho alternative of
irison lor nio nwnucu mm, nnu co uim
Icath was profcrablo to that.
During tho night ho addressed a letter to
lis mother and to his sister which touched
limn the affection bo boro them. Hoaddcd
i codicil to bis will specifying that ho do
sired bis bodv to bo laid bv tlio side ot his
lather's In fct. llonlfaco Cemetery at Winni
peg, which request win uo carried out.
I'tre Andro w ill co thcro with Kiel's remains
within a fovv days. His body was Interred
to-day underneath tho scaffold. Ho prajod
almost continuously during tho night,
using tho pro) eis of tho church, nnd
then again praying ex tcraporo In both
t'rench and English. Ho directed n prayer
for bis friends In tho United States, whoro
ho declared most of them wero and niraln
for bis friends In Quebec. Ho prnv ed for
his lawjers, epcnklngof their efforts In his
behalf, and of their going to England for
him. The attending priest told hliu It was
his duty to pray for bis enemies. Ho ro
pllcd : "Tl at Is so," and at onco began to
n
ray in .cngnsu lor mo premier oi uinaua,
but tu bis supplication no asked that tho
gov eminent might soon bo relieved from his
n
line.
Hill partook of a light repast at 11
o'clock last night. Ho ato uo breakfast
this morning, which caused blm to show at
ono tlmo sumo signs of falntncss, but ho
nflcrwnrd completely recovered from this
weakness, and It appeared to lequlro no ef
fort In mounting tho ladder which led to
tho attic of tho guardhouse on his way to
tho scuftold.
Tbcro was barely a quiver as tho drop
fell, and Kiel's death was pronounced nu
cosy ono.
iWlug tho early hours of tho morning ho
gathered up nil bis papers which covered

government would not hesitate to adopt
f i esh measures of taxation, it It w cio neces
sary to lover deficits in tho llnanco depart
mint arising from tonimcrcltil depression
and military nxpendltures. Ho hoped tho
Trench piotntuiuto over Annum would
ehortiy show trood results, and permit tho
lccallof u portion of tho French troops In
that country In tho coming spring, Aicsl
dcucy general will be established at Hue,
tho capital city, and nu administration
adopted for tho government of thu country
similar to that of Tunis. Iho cabinet
will slioitly nsk tho chamber to voto
fresh credits on account of Madagas

fuithcr details tjicrcon. Regarding tho re
ligious question, M, Brlsson said: "It ap
pears certain that dcsplto tlio attltudo ot
iho clergy a majority of Frenchmen do not
fnv or tho separation of cbunli and state It
is necessary that tho wholo question should
bo thoroughly discussed at tho next sesslou
of tho chamber. Meanwhile tho govern
ment will Insist on tho clergy respecting
tho law and will support obligatory mili
tary ecrvico for all." Hoconcliidid as fol
lows: "Appearances Indicate, that nil polit
ical parties uphold Traneo ns n republic."
M. Brlsson said that tho cost of tho ex
pedition to Tonqulu and .Madagascar has
I orno too onerously upon tho finances ot
tho government, nud It behooved Traneo to
abandon her former pollcj , hav ing, how
ever, duo lcgaul to tho national Interests

Admirers of lhlzaowlllbo clad to hear
Hint live unpublished letters of the groat
novelist have Just been brought to light by
M Dupontavlie do llcusso), who has
written n very Interesting account ot u visit
nicdo by Balzac to tbo Brittany town of
'luugcns In lb33. Tho previous year ho
had embarked upon nn cutcrpriso that had
uearl) ruined hi in nud all his family. Ho
had nailed outiu Ufa with the Idea that ho

obliged to liquidate lu order to avoid fail
ure n t cry ft I toils thing In this country.
Btfore undertaking this pi luting scheme,
Balzac had alriadj written at least twenty
romances, all signed b) fictitious namej,
and when he fouud himself overwhelmed
by ids first flnjiiclal catastrophe ho had
several uthiro biforo his death ho set res
olutel) to work again with his pen to repay
tlio money loaned hlni b) his father nuil
niolhir. 'llio llrst novel of that tnirv clous
monument mlltd thu "Comedlo Hiimaluo"
signed by Ids name was tho Cliouan", which
Is tlicriihnirrinciitcit u dramatic nuecdotu
told hlni about the wnr of the Brittany roy
alists against the llrst republic. To vvrlto
bin novel Bilzue desired to visit tho
spot where tho scene of his romance
wns laid, und to do so ho asked tho hos

of dajn visiting tho country and githerlng

do Pommcreul, who Is still llvlug, says that
thcro then was so much kindness, artless

thies, he was ulwnjs in such sad humor
