About daylight of a pleasant summor morning in 1808, a party of oflieers woro B?ont aslioro in tho dlnghoy of a nian-of. war lying in tho harbor of Yokohama, Japan. Notico had boon posted in town a few days previous that threo men woro to suITer death on that morning for tho orimo of robbery, and while hoping that Bomo time during the criiiso wo should have a ohanco to witness a "hari-kari" or "happy dispatch," wo made up a party to seo a decapitation. Wo landod just above the French ha toba, and a short walk brought us to the execution ground, a sloping hillside be? yond tho town limits, but not tnclosod. A small tent hail been put up and threo holes dug to a depth of a couple of foot and in line. In front of oacb bolo was planted a stout post with an iron spike oti top. A few spectators, mainly foreigners, were assembled, and soon a procession was seen coining up tho lane to tho ground; a bouzo or priest led, an I be? hind him marched in single lib) the criminals, flanked by a dozen sainourai or soldiers in charge of an olllcor. Tho men who woro to suffer death woro largo and flno looking, dressed in the ordinary middle-class costumes, and had their hands tied behind their hacks, bnt were otherwise unfettered. Bach had pinned to his breast a white pla? card Inscribed with characters which I was told gave the name, crlmo and son tencc. As they passod within a tew feet of mo I noticed that, each man was re? citing in a low lone, but their bear? ings and features woro impassive and their stop firm. They were halted a few paces in tho rear of tho freshly-dug holes, and the of? ficer stopping in front, read what I sup? pose was a warrant, for the execution. I had placed myself by one of the posts facing Ilia men, and as tho reading fin? ished ti heavily-built, man, bearing a two-handed Japanese sword, stopped from tho tent with two assistants. Tho sw?rd was nakod, and such as in thoso days every yakoniu or feu lal retainer habitually carried, and the cutlorythen was equal to any Toledo work. Tho executioner stopped by the first hole, while tho attendants led forward tho nearest, man, who quickly knelt down and, bending forward his body, stretched out his neck' till his head looked down into its grave. The as? sistants also knelt, ono on each side, and supported the criminal in his constrained position by hold? ing his shoulders. One of them also pushed back tho irown from the back of the neck and wet tbo nape from a tub of water. Tho execu? tioner, who had been standing by with tho sword resting on his .shoulder, then advanced his left foot, lowered Iiis weapon to a levol with, his thigh and, with a second's pause, as if to take aim, gave a quick, downward, slicing cut. The head, completely severed, disap? peared in tho hole and tho trunk, re? leased by tho assistants, straightened out with hardly a quiver, but streams of blood gushed from tho sovurod arteri?s. Tho other two criminals stood behind with bent heads, but so far as I could soo or judgo gave no sign of emotion, and, in a shorter time than it takes in tolling, each had in his turn knelt and received the fatal stroke. When all was over tho executionor affixed each head on the spiked posts and tho bodios wero taken oil for burial. ?Washington Star. THE CAPTAIN'S REVENGE. Mojjjjod for llrpiiUliic tlio Sllhbath Knien, He Whips the Magistrates. Tbo following anecdote, says ("asset's Magazino, gives an interesting insight t'nto tho prejudices common among cer? tain people in America in connection with tho Sunday question many years E.go. Tho story is told as follows in I tho Universal Magazino for 1775: "Some I years ago acommandor of one of His Ma? jesty's ships of war stationed at Boston had orders to cruise from time to timo in ordor to protect our trade and dis? tress tho enomy. It happened, unluck? ily, that lie returned from ono of his cruises on a Sunday, and as ho had loft his lady at Koston, tho moment sho hoard of tho ship's arrival sho hastened down to tho water's sido in ordor to ro i coivo him. Tho Captain on landing j embraced her with tenderness and af ; foction. This, as thore woro many I spectators by, gave great offonso, and i was considered as an act of indecency and flagrant profanation of tho Sab* ' bath. The next day, therefore, ho was sum? moned before tbo magistrate, who, with many sovoro rebukes and pious exhorta? tions, ordered hitn to bo publicly whipped. Tho Captain stifled his in? dignation and resentment as much as possible, and as tho punishment, from tbo frequency of it, was not attended with any great degree of ignominy 'vr disgraco, ho mixed with tbo host com? pany, was well recoived by thorn, and they woro apparently good friends. At longth his timo at the station oxpirod and ho was recallod. lie went, there? fore, with sooming concern to tak? leavo of his worthy friends, and that I they might spend ono happy day to? gether boforo their final separation he invited tho principal inagistratos and Boloctmen to dine with him on board his Bhip upon tho day of his doparture. They accepted his invitation, and noth? ing could bo more joyous and convivial than tho entertainment which ho gavo them. "At longth the fatal moment arrived tbat was to soparate them; tho anchor was apeak, thn sails wero unfurled, and nothing moro was wanting than tho signal to got under way. Tho Captain, after taking an affectionato leavo of his worthy friends, accompanied them upon deck, whore tho boatswain and I crow wero in readiness to rocoivo thorn. Ho thero thanked thorn afresh for tho oivilit.es they had shown him, of'which he said ho should retain an otornal re? membrance, and to which ho wished it had been in his power to have irado a moro adequate return. Ono poin* of oivility only remained to bo adjusted oDipftnn thorn". TT? thon reminded them of what had passed, and ordering the crow tc pinion them had thorn brought ono by ono to tho (fangway, whoro tho boatswain, with a eat-o'-nlne tails, laid on tho bad: of each forty stripes save one. They wore then, amid the shouts and acclamations of tho crow, shoved into their boats, and tho Captain Immediately getting under way they sailed for England." NEVER KNEW HIM. Tlio Touching st my of do, Daughter of a Fr?lich ruin: it. A touching story is told of ihn child of a woll-knowtt French painter. Tho little girl lost her sight in infancy, and her blindness was supposed to bo in? curable. Three years ago, however, a famous oculist in Paris performed an operation on her eyes, and restored her sight. Her mother had long been dead, and hor father had been her only friend an l companion. When she was told that her blindness could be cured, her ono j thought was that she could seo him, and when the cure was complete and tho bandages woro rr-umved, she ran to him, and trembling, pored over bis features, shutting hor eyes now and then, and passing her lingers over his laco as if to make sum that it was ho. The father had a noble head and pres? ence, and his every look and motion were watched by hisdaiighter with tin? keen? est delight For tho first timo his con- j stant tenderness and caro seemed real to | hor. If ho carossod her, or oven lookod upon her kindly, it brought the tears to | her oyos. '?To think," sbo erteil, holding his band elo-.e in hers, "that I had this father so many year-and never knew him!" How many of us are like the Iitllo i blind girl? " How many young men just, enter? ing life have male no closo friendship* 1 at school or elsewhere, because some ho lily defect or poverty has soured their tempers, and mado them cynical and suspicious, it is tho!r lot thoy think, to go alone through tho world, to llnd women shallow and men shams.

Women who know themselves to ho ! plain and unattractive often feel this morbid jealousy and bitterness; they \ ease themselves in a pride add rosorvo ! that keep their live; more solitary than any prison walls. Tho oyos of thoso souls are shut. If J they would open them, they would seo i that the worhl is full of true an l help* fill friends waiting to work and bo . happy with them. They would seo unnumbered cbnncos in their own lives, however poor or sor? rowful they may bo, for healthy and cheerful work, for hearty good-will and love and comradoshlp. And under and above and around their ungrateful, discontented lives, ' thoy would be conscious of an Almighty love and tenderness, holding them as tho sunshino holds tho floating moto of dust Tho oldest and wisest of us?scholars, mon of business, women of tho world? go through lifo like tho blind child, never seeing the hand of llim who sots tlio sun to light our steps, who feeds us day by day, wdio makes ready a homo for us hereafter. ?

A Proposition to Sulistlluto Thorn For Cnrrtor I'Irohim. For somo timo past a great deal has been said about the wonderful progress made in continental countries with car? rier pigeons, and of tho large numbers that aro ready for immediate service In caso war should break out. Military men acknowledge that they will form a very important adjunct to the signal Corps, and have encouraged their breeding. Thon? is a rival to the pigeon looming up in tho shape of the swal? low, and application has recently been inado to the Fr?lich Ministsr of War to substitute them for pigeons. The idea is now started for the first time, although it is a most, excelont one. Pliny relates that a Uoman noblo named Ctoclna, who had .? racing stable, employed swallows to lake to Uemo tho news of the result of the chariot races. In those ti mos things were conduct od in moro or less style. Four horses from the same Stablo were harnessed to a car, and the swallows returned to theso nests bearing tho colors of tho winners. Pliny also tells of a garrison that was cut off by enemies from all communica? tion with tho outor world and whoso hopes were only kept up by tho arrival of a swallow fiom friendly allies. A thread was fastened to the leg of a swallow and a number of knots wero lied In it Those indicated tho days that would elapse before tho arrival of succor, so that when the day arrived tho garrison salliod out, and tho besiegers, being unable to stand tho combined at? tack, were forced to withdraw. It has boon satisfactorily proved that tho training of tho birds roquirosonly a few woeks. A farmer trained a lot of swallows in throo weeks so that they woro perfectly tractable. At a puhlio exhibition recently given, ho had a dif? ferent-colored ribbon tied to ono of tho feet of each of tho birds, and thou opened tho door of tho cago. Aw?y flew the birds to tho four winds and tho spectators thought that they had soon the last of them, but after awhilo first ono and then another returnod with tho same rapidity with which they bud do partod and perched on tho linger of tho lamer, who returned thotn to their cage. Tho swallow is, as a mossnngor, con? sidered by those who havo had am pio opportunity for comparison, superior to tho pigeon. His llight is higher, moro rapid, and ho is more faithful, moro in? telligent, and easier to tako caro of. In long (lights ho does not havo to stop so NEW CASTLE.
