[Special to New York World.]
Psais, March 13.-The tragic death of
M. Sivel and Croce-Spinelli, the aero
mauts, in April, 1875, was one of the f
great events of tne day. There were
tree persons in the car at the time, and
thebaloon ascended to the extraordinary
height of 26,000 feet, when Sivel and t
Qroce-Spinelli were suffocated in the i
rare atmosphere, and the other barely 1
escaped with his life. A monument to
their memory has been erected by sub- e
.eription on ground ceded by the Mu
alcipal Council for the purpose, and in E
a few days their remains will be brought
fom their resting place in Pere La
chaise and placed by the monument,
which will be inaugurated on the 15th
of next month.
Apropos of Paul de Musset's bio
graphy of his brother Alfred, they are
teling a very pretty story of the poet
and Mille. Rachel, who, thirty years ago,
was the great actress of Paris, and per- I
hape of the world. One day she invited
Alfred de Musset to dine with her, and I
the rest of the guests were all notably I
wealthy men. Rachel wore a very beau
tiful and valuable ring which was no- 1
tioed and vastly admired. "Gentlemen,"
maid she suddenly, "seeing that you ad
mire the ring so much, I shall now offer
it for sale by auction. What will you (
give for it?" In a moment the bids ran I
up as high as 3,003 francs. But DeMus
get was silent.
"And you, my poet." said the actress,
"what will you give?"
"I give you my heart," was the reply.
"The ring is yours," was the reply;
nor could she afterward, when the jest
psemed to have gone far enough, be
persuaded to take it back again. tShe
"By Jove, but it iS no jest. You have
given me your heart, and I would not
return it for a hundred thousand
"4eowns. You cannot take it back."

While everything else is early, almost
premature, and cotton planted fully
three weeks before the usual time, the

owing to the severe cold of the last win

IN. Y. Herald.]
Before 9 o'clock the soldiers, under
the command of Lieut. Paterson, had
been placed in wagons and driven to the
scene of the emigrant camp, where the
criminal was to expatiate his crime.
Some of the soldiers were posted on the
adjoining hills to guard against sur
prise. The wagons were meanwhile
placed in line near the monument and
army blankets fastened over the wheels.
Behind this screen the squad of men
who had been appointed to shoot Lee
were to be stationed. The purpose of
this concealment of the firing party was
to prevent the men composing it from
being seen by any one, there being a
fear that some of the numerous rela
tives of Lee might wreak vengeance on
the heads of his executioners.
The boards of which the coffin was to
be formed were next unloaded from a
wagon and the carpenters began to nail
them together. It was a rough pine
box. While it was being made Lee sat
at some distance away with Marshal
Nelson intently watching the scene
around him.
The civilians began to arrive just
then, and those specially invited as wit
nesses were allowed to come within the
military enclosure. All of the others
were allowed to witness the proceedings
from a considerable distance east of the
ravine. Lee sat like an Indian chief
near the spot where he was to die, as
cool and collected as ever. He began
writing an autograph note in the Dis
trict Attorney's memorandum book.
Then he exchanged a few words with
the Rev. Mr. Stokes.
At 10:30 o'clock the military were
drawn up in line and closer up to the
scene of execution. Then the photo
grapher made his appearance on the
scene. Soon after this the prisoner 1
arose, and holding the arm of Mr.
Stokes and preceded by the Marshal
and District Attorney, advanced I
toward the little corral of wagons. The
coffin had been in the meantime placed
about twenty-five feet from the wagons.
Lee was dressed in a gray coat and
light brown overcoat. lIe seated him
self on the coffin as soon as he arrived
at it. As soon as he seated himself he
looked around hurriedly, though coolly.
A few minutes were then occupied by
the photographer, who took a picture of
the condemned man and the grouped
line of spectators. Then the reporters
were invited to approach, and Marshal t
Nelson read the death warrant. Dur
ing the reading of the document the
prisoner manifested no emotion, and on t
its conclusion he was informed that he
could then speak if he desired.
He proceeded to deliver his random
speech. His voice was very clear and
his manner self-possessed, but he talked
sometimes with remarkable precision,
and then rushed off into a humid style.
When he spoke of Brigham Young's
treatment of him he exhibited feeling.
The speech ended, Lee requested the
Rev. Mr. Stokes to offer a prayer. and
both knelt beside the coffin. The
minister prayed with fervency for the
prisoner and his family, and asked that
if he was an innocent man, as he pro
fessed to be, his innocence might be es
tablished hereafter. Then the reporters
withdrew, Lee took off his overcoat
without assistance and shook hands
with Mr. Stokes, Marshal Nelson, Dis
trict Attorney Howard, and a few
others. The handkerchief was tied
over his eyes, and as it was being done
he asked the Marshal not to tie his
hands. The favor being granted, Lee
clasps his hands over his head, bracing
himself up at the same moment, ex
claiming, ' Enter my heart !"
All near the prisoner stepped aside,
and Marshal Nelson, at a little distance u
to the southwest, pronounced the words,
"Ready--aim-fire I" A flash was can,
nnti T,'.U toll o~ur witn a unll tnut upon
his coffin, his arms falling on both sides
of the box then there came three or
four slightly disconnected reports.
Lee's pulse ceased to beat probably at
the moment his heart was penetrated.
Several of the five balls with which he a
was shot passed entirely through his
body, and cut ridges in the ground in C
the rear. Nine guns were fired in all, R
four of them containing blank cartridg
es. Three of the balls penetrated the
heart, making but one hole on the body.
A few minutes after the shooting a
coraoral fainted in the ranks. The
body was placed in the coffin and a 1
photographic negative was obtained of
t, and the spectators were allowed to
view it. The color had entirely left the -
ace, the mouth had fallen open. The I
Doflln was nailed up at once, to be taken
by the soldiers to Cedar City, and thence
Lo Lee's wife Rachel in Pangwitch.
Before execution Lee gave what

is scarf to Howard.

PACKARD'S LAST TRUMP.
Which Has Been Badly Played and
Euehres Him.
[Special to N, Y. Trbune.]
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Some Wash
ington lawyers think that Packard has
injured his own case by demanding
Federal interference under the provis
ions of the constitution and the law of
1792. His application will be considered
at an early Cabinet meeting this week,
and will introduce an entirely new
question into the Louisiana case-one
that has not yet been considered by the
President or his Cabinet. That ques
tion is whether or not the case as pre
sented by Packard is one of those con
templated by the constitution and the
laws in which military interference by
the general government is warranted.
During more than eighty years the
government of the United States has
interfered in purely State affairs only
twice-once in Rhode Island and once
in Pennsylvania. During the eight
years of President Grant's administra
tion six such instances of interference
occurred-two in Louisiana, two in
South Carolina, one in Arkansas, and
one in Texas. It is no secret that many
very able Republican lawyers are of
opinion that in several if not in most of
these cases interference was unconstitu
tional and illegal; and it is believed
that the sentiment in the Cabinet
is almost unanimous against any
intervention in State affairs which
can possibly be avoided. On the
vital question of the continuance
of this system of * interference the
Cabinet is an entire unit. Intervention,
if it should take place under the present
Administration, must be temporary, and
under circumstances which place its
necessity beyond question. There may
have been some difference of opinion as
to the details of the management of the
question in the two disturbed States so
far as it relates to the particular time
when the troops already supporting
Packard and Chamberlain shall be with
drawn, or as to the conditions which
shall precede their withdrawal; but
