At half past 9 o'clock last night, when the store closed, the clerks in N. B. Falconer’s store presented Mr. J. D. Cowie, managing and general buyer, who is leaving to go business for himself at Grand Island, a handsome gold watch, Mr. Falconer made the presentation in the following speech : Ladies and Gentlemen: A pleasant duty devolved on me to-night, and that is to make resentation to one of our number, who has en associated with us so many years, and ‘who is n about to commence an entarprise of his o 1t is needless to say that 1 al- lude to Mr. John D. Cowie. This valuable present, the finest gold watch and chamn that could be found in Omaha, I am sure must_be much enhanced iu value' in your eyes, Mr. Cowie, from the fact that it comes from your friends here with whom you have so long associated. Itis given as an evidence of their good will, and accompanied with ah ear- nest wish for your success in_your new en- teprise in Grand Island, in which you are about to embark, As to your success I have not a shadow of doubt if you carry out the principles of the establishment” in which you have been so long: that our customers are our friends and that our duty to them is not how much profit we can get out of them, but how cheaply we can sell them, and never to foist old or undesirable goods on them, but rather to make the loss ourselves b, such goods only at what they are worth, you follow out these principles, as I am sure ou will, you are certain of success, and the t of all success, because obtained in the right way. And now, sir, in handing you this watch, T have only to add that it carries with it our esteem and respect and the best of good wishes for your future happiness and prosperity. Mr. Cowie's ready wit rarely fails him, but in this instance he was so overcome with emotion that he could do no more than utter his heartfelt thunks, at the conclusion of which tears glistened in the eyes of many old associates. Mr. Cowie has been with Mr, Falconer nearly eight years, and during that time he has endeared himself to all with whom he bas become associated. Like his late em- loyer he is a firm believer in printers’ ink judiciously used, and he will prove a good patron of the Grand Island papers. The Reovlu of that city will find Mr. Cowie and is family a valuable acquisition to both so- cial and business circles.

JEWISH EXECUTIONS. Four Modes of Capital Punish- nent Under the Code of Moses, “The general impression that hang- ing is a barbarous method of shuflling criminals off the earth,” said a local at- torney to a St. Louis Republican corre- sponaent, *‘has caused the New York legislature to create an enactment sub- stituting electricity for the rope, but a glance at punishments invented and practiced at the beginning of the Chris- tian era shows that hanging is *‘not so bad after all.” The rabbis were the first among ancient legists to render the infliction of the death pen as painless as possible. The mann in which the sentence of the law in capi- tal cases was carried iuto effect was regulated by a series of enactments. lvery d i "he place of execution was ond the limits of the to distan sen prononnced. There were two for this. irst, that a certain al of time should elapse b the sentence and execution, so as to permit the court to examine sy evi- dence that might yet be forthcoming: and, secondly, that the sanhedrim should not witness the execution. As soon as the punishment of death was decreed the criminal was conducted from the court, two elders, the wit- nesses, and the officers of the tribunal accom ing him. In advance of the cortege walked an attendant, proclaim- ing aloud: **So and so is to be executed for such and such an offense: so and so are the witnesses; the crime was com- mitted at suck a place, on such a day, and at such an hour; if any person can urge anything against the " inflic the punishment let him go the drim, now sitting, and state hi ments.” Then the party proceeded through the town. “‘Arriving within six yards of the place of execution the sages who were with the culprit pressed him to confess the crime. They told him that whoso- ever makes confession i it leged to shave in the olam haba—future exist- ence—since death was an expiation of all iniquities. If he refused to acknow edge his guilt he was asked to say ‘Muy my death prove an atonement for all ‘my transgressions.” He was then conducted to within four yards of the place where sentence was to be carvied into effect. The death draught was i Tha here administered. This beverage was composed of myrrh and frankine (lebana) in a cup of vinegar or wine. It produced in the con kind of stupefaction, a semi condition u? mind and body, r him indifferent to his fate und sca ensible to pain. The drink was— Jerusalem—provided by women, who considered this one of the greatest met- zvoth—meritorious deeds. In provin- cial towus the local communal: authori- ties were requived to furnish the crim- inal with the draught. As soon as the culprit had drank of the stupefying draught the execution took place. “In accordance with the Mosaic code four kinds of death were inflicted, ench appropriate to a distinet series of crimes —starving, strangling, burning, and decapitation. Nothing can be more ab- surd than the notions generally current respecting the manner in which these punishments were carried out among the Jews. The stoning of the bible and of the Talmud, was not, as vulgularly supposed, a pell-mell casting of stones ata criminal; the burning had nothing whatever in common with the process of consuming by fire a living person as practiced by the churchmen of middle ages. Nor did the strangling bear any resemblance to the English method of putting prisoners to deuth. The ston- ng to death of the Talmud was per- formed The erimin was conduct ated space, divested of his attire, if a man, and then hurled to the ground below. The height of the eminence from which he was thrown was always more than fifteen feet—the higher, within certain limits, the better. It was not, however, to be %0 high as to smash or greatly distigure the bod, This was a tender point with the Jews. Man was created in God’s image, and it was not permitted to dese- crate the temple shaped by heaven’s own hand. The first of the witnesses who had testified against the con- demned man acted as executioner, in accordance with Deut. x 1f the convict fell face downward he was turned on his back. 1f he was not quite dead a stone, 50 heavy as to require two persons to carcy it,'was taken to the top of the eminence whence he had been thrown; the second of the witness then hurled the stone so as to fall upon the culprit below. The process, however, was seldom necessary, the semi-stupe- fied condition of the convict and the height from which he was cast ensuri instant death. The hodies of tho: demned for blasphemy or idolatry were sabsequently hung upon a gallows until dusk; in other cases immediately after execution the corpse was interred. Outside of every town were two comes teries for criminals—one for those sen- tenced to be stoned or burned, and one for those decapited or hanged. As soon as the flesh had disappeared the skele- ton could be removed to the family -place. few days after an execution the friends and relatives of the dead man—he was no longer re- garded as an offender—called upon all the judges who had tried him. This was a tacit acknowledgment that the punishment had been justly awarded, and that those charged with the admin- istration of the law were regarded with no revengeful feelings by the family and connections of the unfortunate man. “A criminal sentenced to death by burning was executed in the following manner: A shallow pit,some two feet deep, was dug in the ground. In this the culprit was Ylm'ml, standing up- right. Around his legs earth was shoveled and battered firmly down until he was filled up to.the knees in the soil. A strong cord was now brought and a soft cord wrapped around it. Thig was passed once around the offender’s neck. Then two men came forward, each grasped one end of the rope and pulled hard. Suffocation was immedis ate. As the condemned man felt the strain of the cord and insensibility supervened the lower jaw dropped. In the mouth thus opened a lighted wick was thrown. This constituted burning, Jecapitation was performed by the Jews after the fashion of the surround- ing nations. It was considered the most humiliating, the most ignominious and degrading death that any man couls suffer. It was the penalty in cases of assassination and deliberate murder. It was incurred by those who wilfull and wantonly slew a fellow-mun with stone or with an implement of stone or ivon. It was likewise the punishment meted out to all ons guilty of pas ganism and living in a town, “Strangulation was a form of .death by suffocation. It was effected as in burning. The culprit stood up to hig knees 1n loose earth. A soft cloth, cons taining a cord, was wound around the neck. The ends being tightly pulled in opposite directions, life was soon exe tinet.” e, s Drink Malto itis pleasant. .
