Two more condemned fe'ons have expiated a torrlhlecrttne
on the hungiuati'a scaffold, and have
awinlly verified the truth of the Sonpturtrl injunction
"Veujeauce is miue. anil 1 will repay, sal'h

nrely the criminal who Is guilty of ahetdlu^ tne
b'.ood or a lellow man, and though rnoutln, souiettmea
years may elapse, Justice invariably overuses
the murderer and the scaffold ciairus us vicilru.
There are icw if any in Hie blackened list of murders
where such coo.ueii and ue iberatiou of purpose
were evinced, or wnere>uch a barbarous refinemeni
of cruelly and atrocity was practised, as in the
murder of Martm V. Blaloolc, a young vrUito oian,
by two iiejroc, named To-u Vouug and Bon Cuun.

abstain from the commission of evil deeds,

CBOWD3 TO WITNESS THE KXEOITTION.
Though tt was publicly known tiiut the execution
would take place in the jail, bidden from view, y c
I a la rye crowd assembled to wi uess it. At one P. M.
too j til door was besieged by trie mass, eager to
gam admission; but mis tne Hucnff sternly refused,

to obtain a look through the bars ensued. Those
whose professional business required their presence
In tne lull were excluded by the mob, which kept up
a deateuing roaring and yelling and hooting that
were disgraceful.
THK CUI.rniTS ON THE SCAFl'OT.D.
About flair-past one o'clock P. M. the condemned
were conducted Irciin their dungeon, with ropes and
mack caps attached to their necks. Young walked
firmly down trie flight of steps, but Guuu. who was
exceedingly feeble, had to be assisted by two negro
attendants. Tuey both ascended the scaffold and
took seats In chairs, wneu a very Impressive prayer
was ma le by a clergyman, both the condemned men
joining with him. i his being ended, a scries of
cross-examinations as to the murder was commenced
by parties around tne trapdoor. Young, whose eyes
were half closed seemed to be engaged la prayer, aua
Judging irom the evasive replies he made to questions
propounded, b.s mind was evidently waudcring.
As the fatal hour n uied bo.n the wretched men bes.m

to negroes, and they steadily kept this up to the
latest moment, relimug to be Interrupted by Mr.

A Han Reamed from Drowning ot tic ,lcr*

lhwagcsi
On the evening of the 3d of January la-t, about
two minutes post rcvi u o'clock, wiion the lerr.v boat
hail moved away from the bridge at tfio Coriiaudt
Biieet terry, a man named Lyons, residing in
Washington street, Now York, deliberate! v walked
overboard from the brlugo ifml would have
been drowned had not the bridge-tender, Thomas
i'oblu, and another or the employes rescued
Mm. tie was very thankful to the ir.ca for saving
1119 life, but when he returned home and ruminated
on the mailer for a row weeks a bright thought
struck bun. Ho caught cold from the bath, as wa9
<t?ute natural, considering the severe weather just
then, and was confined to the house for some weeks,
us uo alleges. Jto then employed a lawyer, who instituted
proceedings against the ferry company tor
flii,000 damages. In hn affidavit ho makes tho extraordinary
siateinc it tun* there were no lights on
the bridge ami mat one ot the employes pushed luni
in. The case is under investigation ny me lorry
company, and the evidence tuus fur reflects great
credit on Tooin, the bridge tender, wno has been instrumental
in saving six Uvea within as many
months at the ferry, and in some ca ea he receives
only armse tor iih reward. m no nibiuucu uiu me
rescued party offer lUua even one dollar.
Tne lesson to he derived from the preRcnt ease,
pliould a jury award damages, la tliat it is mac.'i
better lor ilio ferry company tiiat a man would be
aiiowed to drown, putting aside the question of huinanity
or tne priceless gilt of human lite. There
would, in sue'u n case, be no suit brought, and. as
uead men tell no tales, the cinuloyOs would not ho
accused of throwing a man In lor mere diversion.
Tins Is certainty a carious sample of gratitude. It
is analagoiis to the case of tne man mentioned tu
"Uurran's Recollections" who liad his eve hooked
out bv a man who was in tne act oi saving htm from
drowning, but who was rewarded with a prosecution
for the loss of tao eye.

the good time coming, 1 worked for It; while others
argued the equality .or woman wlth'man, I proved

woman should be treated socially and politically us
a being inferior to man, I boldly enierod the arena
