A REMARKABLE EXECUTION.
Particulars 0/ thc Hanging of James
Wilson-His DesjMfmU?**Attempt io
Commit Stride.
The foUc*iog lsclbped'fYom the re?
port of the hanging i of. David / Ken i;ly
alias James Wilsen, at Haft-ford, Con?
necticut, 00 Friday last, for the morder
. of a prison officer :
He retired to rest on the night pre?
vious with the eyes of bis keepers,
Deputy Sheriffs Finch aod Lord, upon
him. The former of these remained on
guard until 2 o'clock, when he was re?
lieved by Lord. Up to this time thc
condemned man had lain quietly on his
bed, and was believed to be asleep.
A short time after this the deputy on
guaid thought he heard au unusual
breathing inside the cell. Wilson
seemed restless, and gc-,vc other evidence
of pain. The watcher at once called Mr.
Fenn. Together they entered the celt,
and found Wilson Jj tog on his back,
his right hand clasped over his breast,
the forefinger pressing Itard against his
heart. On examining him they found
a small wound over the heart. From
this hole, no larger than a shirt button. 1
had oozed three or four drops cf blood.
Pressure 00 this spot seemed to cause 1
pain, and the body shook convulsively. 1
Dr. George F. Hawley, the jail physi?
cian, was at once summoned, and found I
the pulse very weak, so low, in fact,
that it could hardly.bc felt. Ile could s
decide upon nothing to relieve Wilson '
until a further examination was made 1
Latex another physician visited the cell, '
and it was decided to hold a medical t
con.-ultation at 9 o'clock.
During all this finie Wilson was lying 1
perfectly quiet, and-to ali appearances ^
perfectly insensible. He breathed regu- ^
lady and strong. His eyes and mouth
remained closed, the eyelids siightiy J
twitching. If a fiy lit upon his face F
the muscles would twitch, but this was c
the only sign of consciousness he showed 8
from the time he wa* discovered up to f
the examination of the physicians, at a
' quarter to 10 o'clock. a
Thc physicians decided not to perform c
any operation, and stated it is evident
that thc unconsciouses is only 9 dodge 1
of Wilson's ; he feigns it. The wound, h
however, is mortal, and he would die 8
from it if he had time.
Soon after the physicians -left him, 8
however, Wilson showed signs of con- ?
sciousucss. He opened his eyes, and ?
after a few minutes motioned with his f
hand for water. It was given him ; but 1n
the drinking of it seemed to cause great -N
pain. He then nodded to his keepers, 1
who were now watching him with the
intensity of cats, and pointed to his u
breast. He measured on his finger tl
about three or four inches, as if to say tl
that the weapon used was that length, h
Ile then pointed under bia pillow, a
and on looking there lu* keepers found fi
a letter addressed to Sheriff Russell. It u
was as foilows :
To Sheriff Russell: I never intended to b
be hanged For fear that you may blame 0
some of my friends, I will say that the p
wire used to interfere with your arrange- ?
meats was procured by me in the State ii
Prison two months ago.- I took it from h
my ration pau and sharpened it on thc o
stone floor. I then wrapped it in a
piece of leather torn from the Bible and
bid it, where. I have carried it ever
since, taking it out at night only. It is
proper to die in the cause of humanity, j
but it is exceedingly improper to be ?
hanged in any cause.
WILSON. :
* * a # J
Ic a few minutes Wilson spoke. Ile
said : n
"Man is a strange being."
After this he made some other re- (j
mai ks, and finally explained how he got
the wire and how he used it. He said
he did not push it all the way in at first, .
but felt around with it for his heart.
He finally touched the heart, but as he (j
supposed a little too low down He .
then depressed thc wire on the outside ?(
so as to bring thc point higher up ; took j
the Testament in bis hand and with the
book drove it clear io till tbc skin ^
closed over it. He thought he woold
be dead io two minutes, and as be said '
this he remarked with a sigh :
"It is too bad ; I didn't finish the job." ^
Wilson remained in bedail the morn j
ing. He refused to eat anything, but a
from time to time took a drink of weak
brandy and water. He would not turn
poverie bed, but groaned and writhed ^
with the paio, and would grind bis teeth.
He insisted that he should say a few
words upon, the scaffold.- At half patt y
12 o'clock bis pulse had increased to ^
98. ---.jr?. , ~ j
"Wonderfully strong puls?," said le
"for a .mao with three inches of steel tn t
his heart."
Dr. Farrar remained with bim, and ^
with Deputy Finch frequently and j
earnestly besought Wilson to turn to
God for comfort, but their prayers and j
entreaties availed naught.
The good Chaplain Wooding re- ?
mained by his side, repeatedly asking if j
he should pray for him. fVilson said: ?
.MP finished- my prayers before I
plunged the iron in my breast, but you j
may pray if ytfu want to. Do not
mwunder?Und,me.. I do not need v<?ur <
prayers, but you may pray if you wish."
The reverend gentfeoan then offered j
a solemn prayer, committing the dy;og 1
man to the care of his Saviour. Every ii J
one present knelt devoutTy, and during ,
the prayer Wilson wept audibly..
? * * On the scaffold, the Sheriff
asked Wilsen if he had any thing to
n&rM <
^^Hjt^..q4:11? an off bani j
manner said ; i<
"I don't ?oppose it will do me ra j ?
good to mtf ita)**tog That question is \
but a silly matter of form. If I thought] 1
it would prevent yon. from perforai ag <
an illegal tacit I would have a good deal ]
to say.8 "'i
? -IT----r---ip
Then tbe Sheriff spoke of his pail
Juty. Wilson arose from bis chaii
As he.did 80 bis head struck the re
??e did Dot notice it, bat advanced
the railing, and in a clear, finn, geo
niaplrTOii?$.8ai<K,
"I suppose moat of you know Hw

He then paused.
"Are you ready," said the Sheriff,
"No sir;" and he stepped back a
irised the rope, advancing to the: i
t?aio with the noose, in his band, i
ijntinued :
"When a man pats this over ]
tead. in the cause of humanity, it
tot a disgrace ! In that cause I put
irer mine. .Mr. Sheriff,you may tight
t op, if you please."
Ile then bowed to the crowd, a
ralked around the platform with
tately air, bidding every one good-bj
Soon he stepped under the pulley ai
ooked at the Sheriff Captain Woodii
ii?ked if he should offer prayer.
"Ob, yes, I don't mind/* was the n
''y. . . . ri.. ?
The chaplain kneeled* down, bat W
aa evidently did not bear a word. E
ooked at the crowd and ap on the gall
ies , where ..the reporters were. I
cerned mach' i unrested in their no
looks, and watched them closely.
The prayer fi.jisbed, the piniooit
?egan, under this ordeal he nevi
inched. He quietly took the chapla
ty the hand, and said :
"I hope, if you have the opportuott
ou will tell the wardens of Wethersfie
irisoD, that they may profit by ttl
rumple they have had, not to oblis
ny other convict to murder a warde
jr humanity's sake."
Thc gentlemen .theo left the platforn
nd the Sheriff advanced with the blac
ap. As he adjusted it, Wilson said t
"Doo't delay any longer. I am suffei
ng so terribly [and he put bis hand 0
lis wound] that I won't bo able t
tand much longer." ' ' ; H
The Sheriff pulled over the ca]
tepped down the stairs, and as he too
>is foot off the last step the platfort
ave way. Wilson fell at least seve
cet, aud b?ing a very heavy mao, hi
eek was instantly broken by the fal
lot a muscle moved after the droj
'he man died instantly.
The pulse and heart beat very rapidl
jr several minutes. In five minute
he heart ceased to beat, and in a momen
he pulse stopped. Ia fourteen minute
c was pronounced dead. Five minute
fterward be was taken dowo, and ti
ve minutes more the doctors bad bil
? der their knives.
The post mortem, which was mad
y Dre. Jarvis, Crary, Jr., Hawley am
tilers, revealed thc fact that the sharj
ointcd wire, had penetrated the lei
entricle of the heart, where it wa
rmly embedded. It was three and 1
alf inches lon;;, and about the sixteen tl
f aa inch in diameter.
TUE DEW.D?OP.
I went out one morning early to eec
he dew drops ; there was one on ever
Jade of grass. I stooped ( down ao<
joked at them, and the grass said, "Art
ou come out to see me ?"
"No, to see the dew drops."
A: little sparkling drop shook himsel
ip, "What," said he, "what was that V
"Come oat to tee you, beautiful dew
rope," I said.
"What for?"
"I love to see the blue sky reflected
a your bosom."
"That is because I am pure," sard th?
ew drop ; "heaven is always reflected
D a pure bosom. You can not see heaven
n thc bo*om of muddy water, nor io thi
icart of a wicked chi?d. Tell the child
cn who love Jesus to be pare, even ai
ie is pure."
I picked up the blade of grass to look
loser at him Just then the sun began
a rise, and thc dew-drop changed from
lue-heav?n color to growing sunlight,
t shone Hke a Hule ian at I held it,
nd looked lovelier than ever.
"Beautiful ?" I ?aid.
The little drop smiled. "The day is
rea king, and the good san is changing
ic into the Hkeoess of himself. Tell
our little Christians, wheo Jesus "shall
ppm they shall be like bim. "But the
lay is breaking the sonja drawing me
'?a going, going-"
"Don't go yet," I said ; "stay and Ulk
0 me."
"He is sending down his long aun*
team fingers. I feet them dsawiarg me.
'rn going."
"Stay, little dew-drop," I said; "stay

HOW BETTIE SOT, BID OF HES
.5: :* CASH, g 'gW
Little Betti? felt vrery rieb, onq taara
iqg, when she set out with tw? whole
dollars io her pocket, and permission to
spend them-sa.;*** ;Ktod._ ^rtol?f?d
earned the money picking strawberries,
and bad counted over, the many things
it would buy. Bat she had made no
. note of.the articles she rahed to get,
: and ber, mied waa much ??lte?t sieve.
She was not much used to shopping,
and the many teiapting trifles.sbegjaw
quite ralf awaySritb her jutigemVnClShe
bought one little thing after another,
thinking, "That is not much, I can cer?
tainly afford that/' But aH at once her
money seemed to be gone. She waa
thrown ioto quite aflutter, and search
ed nervously through her pocket, and
shook out" her handkerchief, but no
money appeared. She was sure she had
lost the most of it, and so went home in
a sorrowful mood., She told over her J
sad-tale to her mother, who listened]
quietly, though she shrewdly suspected
bow the money had been lost.'
"Letame see what you have bough'
with ?S? part ybu'di4'nfltlose," she sai
ai length. .
j Bather reluctantly Bettie drew forth
the bottle of cologne, the gay neck-rib- j
bon, pretty gbawl-piii, pearl sleeve-but?
tons ("so cheap, mother, only, thirty
cents,") paper of pins, flimsy handker?
chief with cheap lace edge, : "only fifty
cents;" and then that tea cent paper of
candies, was everything-was every?
thing abe bought. Where the rest of
the money went to she could not tell.
She had just seven cents left in her
pocket when she had decided to get
herself a pretty white apron, nut fouod
to her dismay that she bad "lost her
money."
"Just take your pencil, Bettie, and
set down the several articles you have
bought, with the prices, and add them
together j then you can see just how
much is missing. Add the seven cents
also,?- g?r>
Bettie figured ?way a few minute?,
and then looked up with much surprise.
"Why", mother, I have added it twice
'over, and it comes to just two dollars "
"t thought so," said her mother.
"Why, mother, it can't .be possible
that all these little things came to two
dollars ? I did not suppose I had- sp'eat
one."
"I am very glad of the lesson, my
dear, as nothing but experience would
ever convince you bow fast money runs
away in little sums.. Now, if you will
begin a system of ev?u penny accounts,
I will give you a neat littfe book in
which to set them down. Write down
the articles honestly for which you
spend your money, even if it is only a
stiek of candy. It may. often serra as
a check to wastefulness, aud it will cer?
tainly keep 70a from suspecting your
money is lost or stolen, when it is only
spent.'1
If all yoong people would keep an
accurate account of all the money they
spend, even to the pennies, they would
find it of great advantage ia after lite.
Just such habits io boyhood have made
millionaires of many who had only a
pair of bands for capital to start with.
The want of such habits have brocght
to bankruptcy aod poverty, if not to
dishonor, many who once seem cd special '
favorites of fortune. Remember poor
.Richard's maxim about "taking cars ot
the pence."
i en??
KEEP STRAIGHT AHEAD.
Pay no attention to slanderers or
gossip mongers. Keep straight on in
your conree,. and let their backbiting
die the death of neglect. What is the
use of ly'ng awake nights, brooding
over the remarks of some false friend,
that ron through your brain life forked
lightning ? What's the ase of getting
into worry and fret over gossip that has
been set afloat to your disadvantage, by
some meddlesome busybody, who has
more time than character? These
things can't possibly injure yeo, unless,
indeed, you take notice of them, and in
combating them give them character
and standing. If what is said about
you is true, set yourself right at once ;
if it is false, let it go for what it will
fetch. If a bee stings yon, would you
go to the hive sod destroy it ? Would
not a thousand come upon yon ? It is
wisdom iq say little jrespe?t?ng the
Injuries you nave recoivedr We are

A. TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE STJIf.
On the 12th of next December there
is to be a total eclipse of the sun. It
will be visible close by Arabia,- first io
the open sea. It will traverse the north?
ern part of the Indian peninsula. It
wi 1 then pass aceross tho northern ex?
tremity of Ceylon.' It will not touch
lac d again until it reaches the south of
Sumatra and the western extremity of
Jara. Thence it will cross the northern
parts of Australia, and, except io some
of the smaller islands of the Polynesian
group, it will not ba seen again on land.
We ?otic? that the'govcrnsn?nts of Eu
rope, particularly that of Great Britain,
are preparing to send out expeditions
to the available points of observation,
tod il is stated that g>me of the best
astronomers of Great Britain aod Fraoee
eacoariged by the results of the experi?
ments made on tba occasion ol the last
solar eclipse, are determined at all haz?
ards to find their way lo Java, and from
that point of observation to examine
once more, with all the aid that science
can give, the suit's corona. What that
corona is, ia as jet a puszle to the phil?
osophers. Theories are numerous. The
spectroscope ia again to be largely used,
and every-attempt will -be mad* to se?

of which one observer will be able to
study the aspect of tbe corona, while
another will study the spectrum <>f the
light from the same part This instru?
ment is, we understand, to be taken out
to some suitable point of observation.
?Austria and India are expected to do
their duty. Tbe British government is
likely to grant a large som of money in
