Taylor was electrocuted at 1_, 45 p.m. for the murder of his shopmate, Solomon Johnson, on September 20, 1S0's. Taylor confessed his crime to a priest, and said that he repented. The electrocution of Taylor was not a sac - cess. The foot rest of the chair broke and the dynamo gave out, so that a second cur- rent could not be applied. He was not dead from the first contact, and soon began breathing heavily. He was placed on a cot and conveyed back to his corridor where he. continued breathing and groaning, with his pulse growing stronger. The armature has burned out. It could be used no more that day, The victim, who gasped and groaned aloud, was unbound and placed upon a cot and carried into the adjoining room, His pulse grew stronger and he endeavored several times to rise from the cot, Physicians said be was un conscious, precisely in the condition of a man stricken with apoplexy. He ,could re- cover, they thought. and the only way to carry out the sentence of the law was to again place him in the chair. Linemen quickly connected the prison apparatus with the electric light plant, and in an hour all was ready for the second electrocution. Taylor continued to grow stronger, and was given an injection of morphine, A small dose of ehloroform was also administered. He was then carried bodily to the chair, which had been repaired, and was strapped into a sitting position. The current was then turned on ; the body straightened up, and for half a minute 1,240 volts coursed through Taylor's unconscious form and ho was pronounced dead. The stethoscope was applied to the heart to make sure, and Dr. Jenkins and others declared there Was no pulsation. The first electrocution took place at 12.40, and the second at 1.a.3. more, Linemen wore already at work stringing wires from the pity's electric light plant through the grated windows of the death ohamber, uteking connections with the switchboard for the second attempt at Taylor's extinction. In one hour all was ready, and the limp form of Taylor was parried to the death eheir by three peepers. The broken foot tett had been repaired. He was held he position by straps and the entreat was turned on. The body stiffened up,but not with half the force as upon the first attempt, and for half a minute 1,240 volts coursed through his system. . The current was theu turned, off, the stethoscope applied, and he was officially pronounced dead. The witnesses then signed the death certificate and were excused from further attendance.

In public places he is the equal of the millionaire. Hemet be a poor man indeed if, in dirty weather, he canuot ride in carriages. For a few coppers he can rifle anywhere and every- where. He is as well off, as regards means. of locomotion, as the man who spends a thousand pounds a year upon his stables. The pleasures of the palate are not cut off from him. He is not restricted in his choice of foods. All the produce of all the seas and countries of the earth is offered in the London streets, in good condition, and at prices which bring it within the reach of all but the pauper. The artisan has the choice of innumerable diningrooms, iu which a constant variety of well -cooked meats and vegetables may be obtained Jot' sums which are well within his means. There is, in London, no hour of the day or night in which he cannot obtain something to eat or drink, and something which is justthe thing he wants. As for the poor man who, in social position, is supposed to be just above the artisan, for a shilling ire can have a sumptuous hot dinner every day of his life ; and he has his choice of ten or a dozen dishes every time he sits at table, He is always welcome, every whit as web, come as the millionaire, aud he receives ex• wetly the sante treatment which would be meted out to Sir Aaron Rosea, if fir Aaron Mases were to take it into hie head to dine for a shilling. Palaces are kept up in London, not owe" especially for the rich man but for the poor man first of all. To how many places of freeuhlleresort isheinvited—au invitation of witieh he very rightly does not scruple to avail himself whenever be is in the mood. Think of the constantly increasing numbers of free libraries, of art• galleries, of museums, of recreation grounds, in which he is solicit• odto make himself at home. Ho gets there for nothing, what he could lint get in the conntryin exchange for the whole earnings of his life. It is getting to be more and more understood that a great city is practi- cally, an aggregation of poor men, and that, therefore, it behooves a great city, before all the other portions of the world, to be the poor min's paradise. A poor man need know no monotony in London, and to realize what that means it is necessary to know something of that out- er his imbrutes which ovoY darkness t erdai.•tis n the countryman. A bewildering variety of entertainment is offered to him en every hand. For nothing at all, or in exchange for the most trivial auras, be can become acquainted with all art, and science, and literature. He ran listen to the best of mueie—and the worst. But his perennial, and his cheapest, and perhaps his best entertainment may be de- rived from the mere presence of the great city itself. Few of the wise men seem to realize—is it because they themselves have none of them ever been poor 1— what a happy hunting -ground to the poor man are the London streets, They are always with him, and though he may not put his thanks into concrete form, he still is thankful that they are. They are all in all to him ; they are much more to him, for instance, than the countryside is to the countryman. And there is a reason why this should be so. That reasonis that not only the proper, 'nit the most engrossing, study of mankir 1 is not inanimate nature, but man. Rich folks meet each other in each other's drawing - rooms. Society is all the world to them, and society is a good part of the world to the poor man, too ; only his drawing -room is the London streets, and I am not sere that his drawing -room is not almost as good a one as the rich man's. At any rate, it serves his purpose quite as well.—[All the Year Round. .i,\aTTTTAR ACCOUNT. Not since the electrocution of Kemmler, three years ago, has an execution of the death penalty caused such a widespread sensation as the double electrocution of Wm G. Taylor in the death chamber of Auburn prison to -day, When the witness- es had been liberated after two hours en- forced confinement, they begaurelating the harrowing scenes they had observed, and soon the eutire city was dis.iussing thafatlure of the state's executioner, The scene at the first attempt to electrocute the victim was something indescril+ab'e. The moment the. full voltage was switched into bis body the rigidity of the muscles became so great that the frontsupports to the chair to which his legs were strapped were torn from their fastenings and fell upon the floor with tin ominous slattt'r. lint TUE rOVERiTT, CURRENT still held the body and the Chair to which it was strapped in a fin* embrace. The spectators were not Need' much startled at this uncooked for 0M"iirranee. The victim • c11hzir noteven twitch- satmotionless a G , ing hand or,;(4.r, but when the current was turited`the body sank back from its rlgid,J sitiou, and the chair without its r,,mslegs tipped forward, the body slipped vafceptibly, and if the stout straps had not field it it would have pitched prone upon the floor. There was. A ttMTOT]TERED 'rOle' from the spectators, but not a man moved. Nobody had as yet realized that anything particularly horrible had taken place, as it was taken for granted the victim had died at the first contact. But in a moment more a shudder passed over the little throng. Froth and saliva had appeared at the mouth of the victim, which was left ex - peed by a narrow leather mask. A strange noise was then heard. It was repeated, and was then recognized as a gasp for breath. " 1Tt's atm" was the awful thought that oppressed every spectator. Spasmodic gasping con- tinued, but was soon succeeded by stertor- ous breathing, and some of the more nervous speetators were afraid he would come to life. The warden ordered the electrician to renew the contact, and the switch was again turned, but much to ')avis' surprise no current came. He announced in a low tone that a belt was of or the dynamo had broken down. Here was a dilemma. The labored breathing of the victim continued and his chest rose and fell convulsively. What was to be done? was the question that forced itself home to every spectator. It. seemed as though Taylor might revive at any moment. The body had assumed a re- clining posture in the chair, with legs stretched well out on the floor. Mr. Davis tried his lever again, but still no response. Taylor was NOW.BREAT11TNG REGULARLY but stertorously and thosewho did not know that he was unconscious expected to hear him cry out. It seemed as though the at- tendants, who had gone to tell the engineer of the failure of the dynamo, would never return. Warden Stout paced the floor visibly nervous." go myself and see what's the matter, said Davis, and he has- tened out to the power house. Everybody remained quiet and the painful stillness was only broken by the gasping of the victim, while the fluid from his mouth had now saturated the strap across his chin. Mr. Davis returned with the information that the armature had been burned out. It could be used no more that day. The spectators still wondered what was to be done with the rapidly reviving victim. 'Finally; the straps were removed, a cot was brought in, and, he was lifted upon it and carried into the next room. EX WAS NOW GROANL•ZG ALOUD re a new ,.„711+cth Worst cascot' iNernn Debility.

Canada's island province, though gener al ly very little known, is one of the most peculiar and interesting parts of the domin- ion, says the New York Sun ; and as with Canada it is' likely at any time to beeome ta, State of our Union, a few facts about it may be of interest to Americans, Prince Edward island lies in the Gulf of, St, Lawrence, separated from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick by Northumberland Strait, It is the smallest of the Canadian provinces, with an area of 2,173square miles, and is in shape an irregular crescent, 105 miles in length. The shore is indented by numerous har- bors, those on opposite eoasta twice ap- preaching so close to one another that only narrow isthmuses connect the three penin- sulas that form the island. Many of the bays terminate in tidal rivers thatrun far into the interior. The coasts are bold in mast places high cliffs of red saudstone rising up from the sea between twenty and. one hundred feet. Part of the eastern shore, however, is low, and bordered by long, carving lines of sand dunes. in places brok- en through by winding channels leading back to shallow, sandy bays. The island is generally flat, and nowhere too rough for cultivation, The vegetation is very green and luxuriant, thick tied growing in every vacant place, Nearly all the trees native in the North- ern States and Canada are to be found in its dark moss -carpeted forests. There are large reed -bordered marshes and ponds o£ fresh water separated from the sea by only a barrier of drifting sand, strewn with the wrecks of many vessels dashed up and lost in the stories of spring and antnnin. Ther. are large mossy peet bogs, whose products give off sweet smells in burning,: and it is said that hidden away far under the island lie seams of coal, too deep, however, foe profitable workin The soil is usually a layer of decayed vege- table matter over a strata of bright red loam. It is very fertile and yields abund- antly to the rather primitive farming meth- ods of the natives. Oats, wheat, and barley are grown in large quantities, and almost everything does well except Indian corn, which needs warmer weather than is fur- nished by this north,irn`olimate, The sutn- mers aro not cold, but rather cool. The weather is usually clear and sunny, and peculiarly free from the fogs whiehare a prominent feature in the climates of Nova. 'Scotia and New Brunswick; The island winter is milder than further south on the mainland, though to as, who consider zero cold, the long months of icy weather and short days would in no way suggest mild- ness. /Northumberland Strait freezes over solidly,waso eastern,if i it is not now, and tla ferry passengers and mails from the mainlands to the 'tabula on iceboats. Prince Edward Island is more densely populated than any other part of the Cana- dian Dominion. It has about 110,000 in- habitants, or 54 to a square mile. Of these the greater part are of Scotch and English descent, but about 10,000 are Trench Acadians coin over long ago from Nova Scotia. They live apart, speak French, marry among themselves, and mix little with races. On the northern coast still lives a remaut of the once powerful tribe of Micmac Indians, dwiudled now in num- bers to about 300. They are conservative and keep up old oilstones, gliding softly up the streams in birch -bark canoes or prow- ling through the forests, wearing moccasins as did their ancestors of long ago. Most of the people are farmers, and live in the country. There is but one town of much importance. Charlottetown, the capital. The Government of the island has been guilty of a very common fault. It has stent more than its income, and isin conse- quence in rather an embarrassed financial condition. AU this notwtthstauding a large yearly subsidy from the Canadian Government. Though there le no large four -footed game left, wild birds arestill aboutin plenty and the forest streams hide thousands of speckl- ed trout, while a few salmon still remain In some of the large rivers. The fresh water lagoons by the coast are the summer resorts of enormous eels and countless herring and smelt. There are the sea fish which swarm all summer along the coast, mackerel the moat plentiful, then conte halibut and cod. Of the half dozen ways of reaching the island, all are part rail and part water. One of the most interesting passes lengthwise through Nova Scotia, affording a good look at that interesting old peninsula. Like everyone else, the Prince Edward Islanders have half -chimerical schemes for improvement. Their particular one is to build a. great railroad tunnel under the Straits of Northumberland to connect Nova Scotia roads with those on the island. The island has much railroad for so small a ter- ritory, and is also traversed in all directions by tolerable country roads. and moving his head from side to side. ilia eyes were closed, but his features were not distorted with pain. Tho witnesses were instructed not to leave. Taylor's pulse grew stronger, and Ms breathing seemed less labored. Ete might recover.' He was even now attemptingto rise from his cot. It was necessary for the keepers to pinion hie arms and legs. Dr. Conway gave him a hypoder- mic injection of "morphine to quiet his struggles. He was asked if the patient would recover with sufficient time and he replied, "most assuredly. The three physicians present coincided in the opinion that Taylor was absolutely unconscious from the first contact, and they did not think he suffered for a moment, He was now in the. same condition precisely as a man stricken with apoplexy, His symptoms were the same. There was certainly no burning of flesh. In fifteen minutes more a SMALL DOSE on c gr oltonORM was administered. There was only one way to carry out the sentence of the law, and, inhuman as it seemed, the unconscious form must be strapped into the chair once ANarrow Escape. The tall, aged, sad -looking man ate a bountiful dinner at the reataurant, and then with'a cheek calling for 71 cents made his way to the cashier's desk. He banged down the check with a battered silver dol- lar, and looked sadder than ever. The cashier picked up the dollar and ex- amined it suspiciously. It h ad a deep dent on one side, and looked as though it had been plugged. At that moment the cus- tomer spoke t "It is very painful for ins to part with that dollar. 1t saved my life once, however, and must do so again. At the siege of Vicksburg I carried it in my vest pooket, and the dent you see there was made by a bullet, which otherwise would have killed me. I have kept it since as a memorial, and it wellnigh breaks my heart to let it go; but I must --I have noth- ing else." The cashier was plainly interested, "In what year was the siege of Vicksburg 1" 3m asked. "Sixty-three," said the sad man prompt- ly. this dollar, " returned the cashier, , " is dated 1877, and is a counterfeit." The sad man looked. annoyed. " Of course itis," he replied. "How could I have an 1877 dollar in '63 if it wasn't a counterfeit?" And the cashier was so dumfounded that he passed out a quarter in change, and allowed the sad man to escape. -[From the " Edi'or's Drawer," in Harper's Magazine for August. ,: brei s� ,ra4..tto for Infants and Children.

Look Out for the Sheep. Costiveness in sheep is to bo carefully looked atter at this season of the year, when the food is dry. It is sure to produce inflammatory symptoms and disorder of the a d skin. This is immediately followed by. loosening of the wool, and the fleece drops off in "patches where the skin is rad and in- flamed. The remedy is to give the sheep a small ration of flax seed twice a week, one or two ounces IS sufficient if given regularly, as should always be the case in all the man- agement of a flock. The oil -meal now .ir. the market is not as suitable for this use as the seed, on account of the absence of oiI in the meal, and the oil is the useful part of the seed,, being laxative and cooling.

A highly respectable Indian gentleman,a member of the Bombay Anthropological Society—Mr. Sarat ChandreMitra-has come forward with an apparently well authenti- cated story of a girl who has been discover- ed in Jaipaiguri in the den of a bear. The young person's habits were decidedly bear- ish, for she tried to bite and scratch those who came near her, went down "on all fours" for locomotion, and "growled at meals." The orphanage of the new Dispen- sation Church in Calcutta could make noth- ing of the ferocious foundling, who bas consequently been removed to Bas Aram, a refuge founded and supported by Brahmo gentlemen in that pity. Nor is this all: A Bhagal Zemindar has captured in the jungle a wild.boy, whose only approach to speech is the utterance of chattering' sounds like those of a monkey. Col. Sleeman and the Rev. Mr. Lewis, of the Secundra Church Mission, have vouched for similar stories. Mr. Mitra is of opinion that when, as some- times happens, an infant child is abandoned in the bush, these is nothing absurd in the idea that it might be adopted by a female wfld aninial that had lost her young.

A SHIP CANAL. 78rouiLatce 5t, Ulair to Lake Erie—Will it Pay When Built. If the statements which are going the rounds of the press are reliable, the cutoff canal from Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie will soon be under construction. It is said by promoters of the scheme that the money re- quired hasbeen subscribed and the neces- sary legislation promised by the Dominion Government, and that the work will be ' completed inside of two years. A little analysis of the scheme is therefore not un- interesting. The distance by the river route from the St. Clair Flats Canal to the junction with the proposed cut-off in Lake Erie is 105 miles, and by th e proposedcanals b0 miles, making asaving in distance of 55 miles. The question whether or not the enterprise will pay depends on whether the time saved by a vessels going by the short- er route will be worth the interest on the investment required to construct the can- Haaesty Rewards al.
