Historical Record of l'hraoasraa Cos nrctrd with the Ifanenan'a Hootm Pchrmv of CalprlU to Kave Their Keck. There aro many Instances on record in which the punishment of hanpring by the neck, lias failed, either through nome peculiarity in the neck of the in dividual, or a want of tact in the hang man. More than six centuries ago if old records aro truthful Juetta de Ualsham, convicted of harboring thieves, was sentenced to lie executed. She hunjj for three days, revived, and was pardoned, as a phenomenon who had somehow or other overmastered the gallows. There is the authority of Obadiah Walkcr,M.aster of New College, Oxford, for ' story that a Swiss was hanged thirteen limes over, every at tempt being frustrated by a peculiarity Jn the wind-pipe which prevented strangulation. Wo arc not told whether the thirteenth experiment was success ful, or whether justice was merciful at last. Ann Green wai hanged at Oxford for infanticide in 1650; nay, her Jegs were pulled, and her. body struck with soldiers' muskets, in accordance with a barbahms custom sometimes adopted of making assurance double Hiirc Nevertheless she survived, after hnngiagsomo considerable timo. Her body was given up for dissection. The surgeon observed faint signs of animation, tended her instead of an atomizing her, and in thirteen hours t-ho was able to speak. She remembered nothing distinctly of what had occurred, but seemed to herself to havo been in a deep sleep. Tho Crown pardoned her. Other examples of a more or less analogous kind arc tho following: A woman name unrecorded was hanged in 1808. Shu came to herself after a suspension for tho prescribed period, not by slow degrees, but suddenly. John (.Jreen experienced au ordeal some thing like that of Ann Green. After ueing nangeu at lyuurn ins uouy was taken to Sir Willia'm Wizard, the cele brated surgeon; and while laid out on a table in tho dissecting-room he dis played signs of life, and eventually re covered. A female servant of airs. Cope, of Oxford, convicted of somo e nal offense, was executed in 1650. After hnnging an unusual long" time she was cut down and fell heavily to thoground. The chock revivoil her, but the unfort unate wretch was effectually hanged tho next day. Margaret Dickson, a century and a half ago, was convicted of concealment of birth, and was sub- 1'ectcd to the last penalty of the law. ler body, after hanging on the gibbet at Edinburg, was cut down and given to her friends. They put it into a cof fin, and drove oft with it in a cart six miles to Musselburg. Some apprentices rudclv stopped the cart and loosened the lid of the cofiin. This let in the air, and tho air and tho jolting together re vived her. Sho was carried indoors alive, but faint and barely conscious; a minister camo to pray with her,, and she effectually recovered. No mention of collusion occurs in this narrative, al though somo of the incidents would seem to point that way. Instances aro known in which a re bound after the fall has enabled the feet of the victim to touch the platform, and with what ultimate result has to bo de termined by ft conflict between mercy and sternness on the part of tho authori ties. A disgraceful tcene took place at Edinburgh iu 1818. The ropo with which a man was hanged being too loose, his toes touched the platform; the assembled mob got up a riot on some pretext, tho half-hanged m.iu was carried off, recaptured, and finally hanged on the following day. A seeue of a similar deplorable nature had been witnessed at Jersey a few years pre viously. A whimsical legend, made the subject of one of Southcy's ballads, relates to a man who was resuscitated after hanging, and disappeared from the gibbet in ft mysterious manner.. In ninety-one stanzas Southev tells the storv of Ro prccht, the robber, believed in Germany to have had some foundation in fact. Koprecht, who Lad long been ft terror to the inhabitants of Cologne, was at length caught, tried, sentenced and executed. On the next morning, to the surprise of tho early passers-by, the gibbet was found to be empty. One week later Koprecht was seen, hanging there again, but wearing, boots ana spurs instead -of shoe. What this could all nean waa left to Peter Saoye to tell. He and his son. Piet were driving home late oa the night after the execution. Passing Bear the gibbet they heard a low moaa.

An examination wat made, the apparatus discovered, aad the maa was eflectually and tiaaUy haaged oa the following day. Whether aay tube was inserted we are not told, but there was evident collusion ia the case of the maa heaped at Cork in 1767. His hody wat carried by bis friends to a predetermined spot, where a surgeon made aa incision in the windpipe, and resuscitated the man ia six hours. Let as hope that the rest of the story is not quite true, to the efiect that the fellow weat to the theater the same evening. The William Duell who was hanged in 1740, and who came to himself again wbea just about to be dissected at bur geon's Hall, may, like Ann Green, have survived through some peculiarity in the seek or some clumsiness on the part of the executioner, without any collu sion or cunning among his friends. In 1787 a man named Kelly was sentenced to execution at Trim," in Ireland. On the early morning of tho day intended to be his last he contrived to cut his blanket into strips about four inches wide, join them together with strong woolen threads, and form a double sling. This he passed under his arms, fastened tho ends at his neck, and there provided an iron hook to receivo the halter. Thus accoutercd, he pro cceded to the place of execution. It is supposed that he had found means to bribe the hangman, to whom he made a request to draw up cloe to the pulley, and lower him gently when dead. But the crafty maneuver did not succeed. Kelley had not allowed for the stretch ing of the strips of blanket bv his own weight, the point of the hook fastened into his windpipe, and iravo him so much pain that he struggled violently. He was, however, allowed to hang until he was really dead, when the sling ap paratus was discovered. A successful attempt to cheat the gallows once brought an Under Sheritiinto trouble. William Barrett, executed in Tyrone in 1759. contrived to wear somo kind of concealed collar, which prevented stran- Sulation; he was cut down, apparently ead, but afterward recovered. Mr. Annsley, Under Sheriff, as a punish ment for allowing Barrett thus to evade tho law, was fined 100 aud imprison ment for two years. Iu former times tho mode in which tho disnril operations of tho gallows were conducted led occasionally to a frustration of the law's intention. Tho unhappy culprit, after the halter was adjusted round his neck was pushed so as to slip or slide from a ladder. As phyxia was sometimes produced with out any dislocation. Under the modern arrangement a trap-door opens in a platform on which the culprit stands, occasioning a sudden and considerable fall, from which rccoverv is much less probable. This change led to the frus tration of a plan that m'ght possibly have been successful under the old sys tem. William Brodie was cxec..od at Edinburg in 1798. His friends had pre arranged for his resuscitation, but tho fall or drop was greater than had been expected, and he was quite dead when taken down, lhere is an old Scotch saying: " Iirodic's drap was too much for Brodie," which, wo believe, jefera to tho case of this samo William Brodie, for tho 'drap" or drop was too great for tho vital organism to resist. A reprieve has sometimes arrived too late to save tho poor wretch in whoo behalf it had been obtained. More fort unate was a burglar who was hanged in 1705, for the reprieve arrived when life was only half extinct He was quickly cut down, placed under medical care, and rostorcd. A reprieve of an other kind from the effects of a fool hardy trick camo a little too late. In 1806 a youth, aged seventeen, and named Matthew Watson, resolved to make a small attempt at hanging him self "to seo how it felt." He went into a cellar and succeeded more completely than he had intended, for ho was found hanging with life quite extinct. A strange mania this, but the examples to illustrato it arc more numerous than most of us would supposo. A question arises which very few liv ing persons are in a position to answer, viz: What are tho sensations experienced miring uangingr oome oi mo iew wno have been able to give any account of their consciousness at so critical a mo ment say that, after one instant of pain, the chief sensation is that of a mass of brilliant colors filling tho eyeballs. Tho Quarterly llevicw, volume 85, treating on this matter, says: "An acquaintance of Lord Bacon, who meant to hang him self partially, lost his footing, and was cut down at the last oxtrcmity, having nearly paid for his curiositv with his life. He declared that he felt no pain. and his only sensations were of tire be fore his eyes, which changed first to black and then to sky blue." These col ors are even a source' of pleasure. A Captain Montagnac, who was exe cuted in Franco during the religious wars, but was rescued from tho gibbet at the intercession of Marshall Torrene, complained that, having lost all pain in an instant, he had been taken from a light of which the charm defied descrip tion. Another criminal, who escaped through the breaking of the halter, said after a second or two of suffering alight appeared, and across it a most beautifu avenue of trees. All agree that the un easiness is quite momentary, that a pleasurable feeling immediately suc ceeds, that colors of various hinrs start up before the eyes, and that these hav ing been gared at for a limited space the rest is oblivion. The mind, averted from the reality of the situation, is en gaged in scenes the most remote from that which fills the eye of the spectator. Medical men have paid much atten tion to the anatomy of the neck and throat in regard to the circumstances which bring about asphyxia, sufibcatjoa or chokinir, and they say that some Checks possess a power of resisting these envois io a very Femarsaoie aegrae.

One man cannot digest eggs miles ther are hard-loiIed; another dare not touch cheese, so that the only standard for safe eating is to take that which agree with the stomach and produces no bad enccts. Common cense must enter largely Intc all contracts with the stomach, for tho fact that a coniurer can swallow a sharp sword once led a young man to experi ment with his forlc, which he swallowed and then died.

An old Colorado miner says: "While 1 was yet at Leadville a man came there from Denver named Dexter .Jim Dot ter they called him and he was full of life and hone and had some money. Dexter looked about him for a while and finally bought a claim on Carbonate Hill, which had at that time not been prospected very well. He paid. I think, about $15,000 "for it, and set to work putting in machinery and sinking the shaft, which was already down some hundred feet or more. Ho worked away on the mine, people laughing at him a good deal, but he never once lost heart. The mine had not shown up a single thing in the way of mineral, and the shaft had been sunk by that time several hundred feet. Dexter did not know whit to do. He had now spent nearly all the money he had and noth ing was coming in! Ono day in tho early part of the year 187!) a party camo to him and asked" him what he "would take for his mine. Dexter told him, and a bargain was made between them. The price paid was, I think, $30,000. some $5,000 more than Dexter had spent on it altogether. He was mighty glad to get the $30,000, and thought himself well out of a bad bargain. He rushed out onto Carbonate Hill and ordered the miners to drop their tools and quit work. This was about three o'clock in tho afternoon. He said: 'Boys, I havo sold this hole, and I don't want you to work another minute in it for me. I will pay vou o3 right now, and you can quit. WelUthe miners had just finished a drill and were going to place a blast aad uncover some rock, and they asked to be allowed to finish it before they quit work. 'No' said Dexter, corao out; I don't want vou to work any more; there's nothing in the old hole.' The men reluctantlr anil emd reported. Dexter got his money and was happy. WelL the mine had been bought by a stock company, and in a short time theybegau work on it Now, young man, what I am going to tell yon is the solemn truth," said the miner. Those fellows went ap there to that mine and laid a fuse to the blast left by Dextcr's men and touched it off. After the smoke cleared away they irent in to see how much rock had been loos ened, when what do you think? There before their eyes they saw the richest body of silver ore which has ever beeB seen since the world began. At that time hundreds of thousands of dollars met the gaze of the delighted owners of thejicheet kind of ore. Well, yoaa; fellow,' continued Mr- Kaawles. " that miae was the celebrated Robert E.

As a description of the appears aee and habits of this -corm, at well as the methods of dwtroyinjr it. will uadoaet cdly be interesting to maay reader, we make a few extracts from a letter writ tea by a eorreipondent la Tcunetaee fur the Cultivator and Cburtfry Ucmticmmn. He bogias the letter by taring that the Erospect for good corn" and wheat crops r very fine, but that farmers are aot content, saying: The army-worm has come, aad we will be ruined. -The array-worm origi aates in old meadow land more particu larly, and where there arc no meadows iu a ccighborbood I hear of no worm.. They travel from the meadows to the wheat, oats. rye. barley and corn. If tho wheat, rye" and barley aro pat the bloom, and making the grain when at tacked by the worm, the grain ia oft ener benefited by being stnpjied of the blades than injured. Oats, il attacked, are generally ruined so I the corn; both being very tender plants, the worms go tor them heavily. I will de scribe the worm for the beuufit of those who are unacquainted with htm: He is bald-headed, well-formed, black body, uith two rather yellow than white stripes from head to laiL When full grown it Is a fourth leis in size than a common pencil, and when ready to de posit his cotton is rather yellow," and is very clumsy or slow, but In almost con stant motion and very hungry, eating rapidly until he disappear. here he goes I do not know; he simply goes out of dtght. I find no holes that he go into, and I do not find him dead on the ground. Where does he go to? 1 waived the d ten two hours this evening aud the foregoing is the best descrip tion 1 can give ou. "He is. i might say, rather an innocent-looking worm, and has not the hideous look of-thu cut and measuring worms. The workmen upon my farm have been giving him battle for four or live days. First between my wheat field anil meadows, and corn field and meadows, we ditched, throwing the earth out on the meadow hide, and making the side next to the wheat or com hlauting under, so that when the worms conn; iuto the ditch, which they do by the thouauds and millions, they attempt to crawl out on the corn and wheat side, and fall back, and when collected in the ditch we hitch a mule or horse to a .Miiall log of wood and draw it up and dowu the ditch and mash the army to death. With a little care they never pass the ditch. As I before -tated, they never originate in the wheat or corn field, uule?s the wheat has been sown on an old meadow. Bi't if they do get into the wheat, then there is only one mode of fighting them, and that is I) the old Virginia mode. Tho worms crawl up the talk and strip the blades off up to the head, if you will stand idly by and permit them to do .so. To prevent this is almost tod'eheap and simple to relate. Thewprm is very clumsy, and the least shock precipitates him to the ground, ami while there ho does little or no damage. "Take a rope from fifty to 100 feet in length aud weight in the middlc.'and fun ct ut a man or boy at eaeli end ot it and m oasis the rope over the field once a day so long as the worm lives, which is usually ten days, and you will save the field from injury, llio lat fel lows are never to make a second trip up the .stalk; one trip with the rope is sufficient with that crop. A repetition of this operation once a day for ten days will .save the crop; aud it is easier anil cheaper than ditching. I have succeeded in keeping them .so far out of my wheat; so I havo no occasiou to use the ront uractice. but others aro usimr fit every day, including Sunday, and re port success." Mid-Bsy Revelations of the New Comet. Tho observations made on Wells' comet at the Dudley Observatory during its meridian passage are exceedingly valuable. The character of the nucleus of great comets hits long been a matter of controversy. Iist summer Prof. Draper concluded, from observations on the great comet of 1881. that the nucleus was "either a ?ohd or a liquid. Long ago Prof. Pierce, of Harvard, concluded from his observations that the nucleus of a comet is a solid body of metallic density. The observations made at Al bany tend to support the theory of Prof. Pierce. Wells' comet at noonday on the 11th showed a well-defined disc like a planet or asteroid. The best theory of the con stitution of the tails of comets is that they are of electric origin, being the re sults of excitation as the nucleus ap proaches the sun. The nucleus is un doubtedly opaque, being in reality an unfortunate world compelled by an ac cident of birth to wander in the celes tial spaces in a manner that forbids tho development of animal life on its sur face. The near approach of many com ets, among them Wells', to the sun, undoubtedly causes rapid disintegra tion. One has been known to split in pieces. Prof. Stone, of Cincinnati, thought he saw the nucleus of the great comet of lat summer divide, and then come together again. Prof. Boss finds from his mid-day ob servations with the transit instrument that the orbit is very nearly a parabola, and there is little prospect that the com et will ever return to the sun. A dis atch to Prof. Boss from Lord Craw ord. at DunEcht, Scotland, helps some what to explain the failure of the comet to fulfill expectations as to brightness. Spectroscopic examinations by Dr. Lohse revealed a sharp bright line, co incident with the sodium in the solar ppectrum, also strong indications of oth er bright lines. This, with the actual observation of a disc sixteen hours after perihelion passage, when the vapors were hot and transparent, indicates a solid body. As soon as the comet be gan to leave the sun the vapors began to condenso so the disc was not agaia visible. Prof. Ttoss thinks the presence of sodium accounts for the failure to throw off a tail of great length. Other comets have shown the spectrum of hydro-carbon, but this one is of a differ ent composition. KocMcttcr (X. JT.) Democrat. A Ceaslderate Hashaad.

They will be the mui's bright harbingers during the whole Milliliter. and will amply repav. by their Ito.tutiful appearance, the earfy rier who watches for their ail vent iu the small hours be fore the dawn. Tho same planets were evening stars during the winter and spring until they reached conjunction with the sun, Saturn on the fit h. ami Jupiter on tho 30th, of May. They were then eloc to the sun, or .seemed .so as viewed in the heavens, for when we speak of tho josi tion of tho heavenly bodies we mean their position as Mien from the earth. Thus we say that the sun rises and sets, when it is the movement of the earth on her axis that produces this result, and that the planets are in conjunction with each other when in reality they are mil lions of miles apart. In describing the planet, we always refer to their position in the heavens as seen from tho earth. Saturn and Jupi ter were close to the Min in the month of May. passed from his eastern to his western side, and wore then too near him to be seen. They have since moved far enough away to be visible in tho morning sky before sunrise, and will continue to increase their distance from the sun, and to approach the earth until tliev reach opposition. Saturn in No vember and Jupiter iu December. They will then in like manner pas to tho sun's eastern side, becoming evening stars and repeat the same process in re versed order until they reach conjunc tion airain. It will be easy to follow tho track ot tho outer planets when this simple law of their movements is once impressed Upon the memory. Saturn and Jupiter are now brilliant illustrations as they rise earlier and increase in siai and brightness while drawing nearer to the earth. Saturn, during tho last week in June, will rise about two o'clock. He must be looked for seven degrees s-outh of tho IKint where the sun rises, and will be mown by his pale, steady light as well as by forming a triangle with the Tlci ades and Aldebarnn. being a few degrees west of them. Jupiter will rise soon after three o'clock, one degree south of the sunrise point and a few degrees eat of Aldebaran. Ho is much the larger of the two planets and will le recog nized at a glance. They will be so far from the sun by the last of July, that Saturn will rise at midnight and Jupiter an hour after. Those who watch the starlit sky during the silent hours when darkness "shrouds the earth will find that these beaming planets are the fairest gems in Night's starry crown. Youths' Companion. Malllran Sails. A large schooner lsj at the foot of East Twenty-eighth street on Sunday evening. Just ocfore nightfall a bare headed man rushed down Twenty eighth street, closely pursued by two policemen, and sprang on board and climbed the mainmast with the agility of a monkey. The policemen watched him, evidently puzzled at the situation. "We sail in half an hour," said the Captain. The elder policeman a gray-haired man of fifty years, hesitated for a mo ment, and then proceeded to climb the mast. The man in the rigging smiled.
