when one of the party, turning to an
old mountaineer, said:

this country, don’t it?”
“ Wal, I don’t know about that.”
44 Do you mean to say that you have
caught more Bad larger fish ?”
“ No; but I have caught some party
big fellers.”
“Come, now, tell us the weight of
the largest trout you ever caught.”
44 Wal, I can’t exactly tell aa to the
weight, but you folks can figger on it
Now, you know it is over 200 miles
around this yer lake. Put that down. Aa
I said before, I don’t know the weight of
the biggeat flah I ever yanked out, but I

From the hour of his errual to the mo-
aasut of his death, a period of t
'mouths end tweoty-three days, he waa
in torture whenever he waa aWakc, an
cruelly Waa he bound, chained and con
fined. When at last the day of execu

chamber and subjected to the grenteet
amount of anguish which tho human
frame is capable of enduring, aorgoons
standing by to give timely notice of in
sensibility.
Then ha was driven by a circuitous
ronte through the streets of Paris to
the place of execution. This took an
hour and a hall Another half hour he
waa kept waiting in full view of tho
preparations, the apparatus not being
ready. Then, in view of the assembled
multitude, many of whom were women,
he was placed on a lofty platform and
the hellish work began. First, bis
right hand was burned off; next, masses
of flesh Were torn from him by red-hot
pincers, and melted lead and resin
poured into the Wounds; lastly, a strong
horse was attached to each of his four
limbs, and an attempt was made to tear
him to pieces.
After a considerable period it was
found impossible to do this, and a mes
sage was sent for permission to cut the
muscles of the joints. It was refused,
and again an attempt was mads to tear
the limbs apart, but without success.
A second time word was sent that the
'nonce could not tear the dying wretch
