Instead of complying with the reyuest, they sturted on the double quick for as many dif- ferent points of the compass as couid be con- veniently covered by three young men.

DELAWARE PLAN. THE Criminals Receive Doses of the Cat and Pillory. The regular fall whipping in Dela- ware took place at Newcastle on the 25th. The unique old jail yard was thrown open to the public ahout 10 o’clock and there entered # motley crowd of men, women and children. It had been announced thatabout twenty per- sons were to be whipped and thut two of these were to receive the full penalty of the law. The extra’ attraction drew a big crowd to the jail, and when the sheriff started in to'do his work he had an audience of several hundred persons. The crowd entered with particular zestinto what they apparently considered the “sport” and “‘guyed” at the unfor- tunates who were compelled to hug this Delaware relic of barbarism, mes Carr was the most unfortunate man of tho day. He and Joseph L. Townsend had been convicted of highway robbery and the sentence of the court was that they were to receive forty lashes, the highest under tho 1 one hour in the pillory and a year in jail. Townsend’s lashes were remitted by the governor, but Carr had to stand everything. When he went to the torture of the pillary today his face wore a smile and he persisted that he was innocent of the crime charged against him. When he descended the ladder he was scarcely able to straighten himself out. The locks of the pillory had stiffcned him so that any movement suused puin, Sheriff Simmons at once took him to the postand locked his arms to either side. Never a muscle moved us the forty lashes descended upon his bare back. Sheriff Simmons felt kindly toward him, and in view of the fact that his companion in crime had got off, he was disposed to construe liberally lhc law’s requirement of “well laid on.” Carr’s back was like fresh beefl when the sheriffi was through. Although the blood was not drawn, the marks of the lashes were plainly visible. Two white men, Charles McGlunnand John Teek, were whipped, Heck has been to the pos veral times before, and is one of the few men that each sherifl, as he takes offico, is supposed to have a chance at. e views each whip- ping us a sort of amusement. and will discuss with any one that will listen to him the respective merits as whippors of the sheriffs he has met Heck does not steul for tho sole purpose of gain. His only object is to get money to buy liquor, and when he has accomplished that he caves but little what follows, The court knows this, and when Heck is brought before it there is always a disposition to be lib- eral, Four colored men were whippedffor stealing chickens, and, strange to say, nearly one-half the people who hug the post do it fov stealing chickens, Among the criminal colored population this is re- garded as more of & disease than a crime, and sheriffs have always been lenient with the victims. The whipping post in Delaware is an institution that dates back to the settle- ment by the Swedes before Penn had come up the Delaware river. Up to within a few yeurs ago every kind of of- fense was met with the lash, About 1850 a number of the laws imposing corporal punishment were repealed, and with a steunge anomaly the law whipping women was allowed, to remain. Re- peated efforts have failed to repeal this portion of the law.

Curious Inscriptions Copied From the Metal in ngland, Tn the current number of the New- berg Magazine there is an interesting article on **Bell Inscriptions.” A bell at Bentley, N. H., is inscribed: Jobn Eyre gave twenty pound To meck me a losty sonnd. Sev nscriptions on bolls are of an amatory character. A very common in- seripuion is the following, found in Cov- entry, Kraresborough, ~ Northampton, and other places: In wedlock s bands all ve who join With hands your hearts unito. So shall our tuneful tongues combine To laud the nuptial rive. On a couple of Lincolnshire bells—one of 1807 and the other of 1808—we have the following: When female virtue weds with manly worth We cateh the rapture and we spread it forth. Very often the happy pair is reminded of the transitoriness of human existence and of the end of all things. Here is a specimen of this kind of inscription from Balkowell (1798): When men in Hymen's bands unite, Our merry peals produce delizht; But when death goos his dreary sounds We send forth sad and solemn rounds. Av inscription is that suggesti no the bell at Hough-on-the-Hill, Lin- colnshire, It is duted 1638, and runs as follos When you do hear this mourn ful souna, Prepare yourself for underground. Bach bell ina peal at St. Michael’s Coy- entry,if we ere to judge from the mottoes, had a speeial use of its own, Thus No. 4 1s evidently the workmen’s bell: I rine at 6 to let mon know When to and from their worl to go. No. 7 was the bell for summoning worshippers to chureh: 1 ring to sermon with a lusty bombe, That all may come, aud none may home. 0. 8 was the firo bell, of which, too, we have a specimen in the church at Sherborne: Lord! auench this furious flame, e, run, put out the sume. One bell in All Saints’, Northampton, suys: I mean to make it understood, That though I'm Little, yet 1'm good, Whilst another at St. Ives says: Arise and go about your business, Punning inscriptions are not often to be met with. The following, found at Towchester, North Hunts, may be held s belonging to this class Pull on, brave bovs I'm metal to the back, But will be hangea before I crack, B —— Horaswoggled. \. Y. Tribune: **Somo folks,’ ay at ? gaid a hotel clerk, ‘“tare so easily ‘Horn- swoggled? Oh, that's Greek I guess, and means that you ure fooled, Now for instance, o mun in a restaurant the other duy ordered broiled mackerel, and he ato it with great rolish, loudly declaving that broiling is the only way to cook mackerel. But was his mack- erel broiled? Not much. It istoo much trouble to broil a fish; so the cook put it in u pan and fried it, and then made burnt lines neross it with a redhot poker kept in readiness for such emergencies. So the man was ‘hornswoggled,’ but as he didn’t know it, he wis us happy as though he hud really on brol mackerel, 1 tell you imagination is three-fourths of life mdd LR e Climate in Brazil in character between various sections of The differance the people of the Brazil, a country about us big as the United States, nre very marked, The states south of the equator are indus- trious and enterprising, butthe northern states, in which the heat is oppressive d the meuns of lite can easily bo got, languid and indolent.
