The execution on the 30th of last month
of a man for murder in Andalusia, in
Spain, twenty-four hours after it reprieve
had been actually signed by the Queen and
forwarded, has occasioned so much excite-

drawn up a Bill to give a telegraph mes-

written. order. In this case the authorities
charged with the execution were notified
by telegraph that the reprieve had been
signed and was then on its way, but they
insisted they were powerless to delay the
exOntion in the absence of the forneal
document.

comes from Berlin that it le quite a for.
midable undertakingto despatth one of the
monsters, with all t130 resonroo of civiliza-
tion at am:emend. 44 Blab= " is one of
the two Indian elephants presented in 1881
by the Prince of Wales to the Zoological
Gardena et Berlin. The animal some few
years ago ran his warder through the body
with one of hie Ulrike. The poor keeper
died from the effecte of hie wound. Sen-
tence of death was not at the time passed
on the culprit ; it was deferred, end only
quite recently solemnly proclaimed. Rus-
t= " was, however, not condemned to the
scaffold for thia crime alone; be is said to
have learned nothing from the clemency
shown to him after the above mentioned
outrage, and to have displayed on divers
occasione sines that time evident symp-
toms of a wicked and depraved nature.
Moreover, hie external appearance,
as compared with that of hie col-
leagues in another part of the elephant
house, is declared to be anything but
attractive, and to have brought discredit on
the estabishment. Some gossips attri-
buted this to the want of food—if being
affirmed that he has had to live on almost
starvation rations, besides having had his
feet in irons since the commission of his
font crime. Be that as itmay, the direotor
of the Zoological Gardens, after long and
deliberate consideration, and after having
consulted all the experts!, sentenced
" Ittetum " to die by strangulation. The
mode of hia death had eke been previously
carefully considered. Some proposed that
he should be shot; but this method wee
considered dangerous, lest the bullet should
not take immediate effect, or lest the sports
man's band should tremble and miss the
mark. Others preferredpoisoning, and
some suggested the electric) current. All
these propositions were rejected in favor of
a process of strangulation by it three-
quarter inch steel wire. Every precaution
having been taken, the noose was let fall
over the monster's heed at what was sup-
posed to be a favorable redone Thiswas
when he passed out of his half -opened cage
in order to sniff the morning air. No fewer
than forty-two men were stationed' in the
vicinity to draw the' noose tight. Whether
it was that the dumb creature had a pre-
sentiment that these were his executioners,
ruthlessly bent 'on depriving him of light
and life, or whether it was that theerrange-
meets were clumsily made, the main point
is certain—namely, that e Rusturor as
soon as he felt the pressure of the wire,
quietly made a slight movement in the
opposite direction and snapped the sub-
etande that was to strangle him as 11 1*. lead
