Ir, these rushing time. we might take
for otlr motto "Something New, Al
waysSSomethtngNew." Consequently,
1 imagine that the tmprePaions of a
woman at the foot of the guillotine
would not be oommouplaoa. 1 was prom-
ote at one performance iu the Plum ale

aseistauta officiated in the tame of s)
called 'astir*. The horrible spectacle
haunts and rack. the mtud and tends
rather to re-entoroe the partisan. of the
abolition of capital punishment. The
horror of the punishment imposed ren-
ders • guilty man almost worthy of
pity. The right of • human being,
dragged like • beast to the daughter
hoarse, °p even to the sinister seesaw,
is terrible.
1 know many people may be astonish-
ed that anybody could be moved to pity
for the ferocious brute, Carrara, who
transformed his mushroom establish-
ment into a crematory mid had no mer-
ry for the uufortunate young man, La-
ntern', whom be threw auto the fire
after baviug murdered him for the pur-
pose of robbery, I know alj_ that, afld 1
do not dispute the fact that the I1.1t.n
was a monster, but that la no reason
why we should not be disgusted at the
spectacle which was prevented to our
eyes and which 1 will now endeavor to
describe with the Impartiality am sim-
ple spectator, without rtweotnient or
prejudice, bat with a heart that revolts
against a scene that has neither the
graudoor nor the majesty of a punish -
meat inflicted. but rather exhibits the
cowardice and baseness of a vengeance
which hides itself from the light of day.
The execution was fixed for 4 o'clock
in the morning, but from the hour of
midnight the neighborhood of the
Geode Roquette was swanning with
an undulating and mocking crowd.
Jailbirds, murderers, footpad. and wom-
en of the etreete eseembled there to see,

tell her abruptly: ••Carrara luta suffered

But the day was dawning, and the
lampe were going out At the windows
and even on the roofs number. of epee
talc*'. were gathered as if to witoees
some carnival. Tbe eight was heart-
rending. Mounted gendarmes and mol-
dier. gradually came oat of the dark
nem, and one might be inclined to nil
at such a display of force at the exec°
tion of a wretch paralyzed by tear, who
in a few moments would appear upon
the same tied band and foot.
There was NOlne little commotion
among the crowd wbeu people began to
point at a thin, old man who bobbled
about with the greturea of a dancing
jack to see if the knife in the braes run-
ner. was in good working order. This
was Deibler, the executioner, • ghost
with a white beard, who adjusted the
inetroment with the indifference of •
grocer weighing his goals. Suddenly
there was profound allence; the rain
was . over, heads were uncovered anti
motionless. Breathless anti almost in

eyes the movement of the doors of We
