Apply thu oftce The Law Tindrriucd. From tho Dailv Statesman of March 15lli, we clip the description of llio execution cf Johnson and Brown, at Portia ml, on tho 1 4 th inst. : The execution of Avery alias Ar chio Brown, and James Johnson, took place yenlcrriny afternoon at half past two, in the enclosure ot the ):nl vara built for that purpose. At about half past ten o'clock an immense con course of citizens began to colleot around the court house, but of course could witness nothing. Three com- r . p . i i . paniei of btato infatitry and one liat tery eft wo guns marched up to the court house yard and surrounded tho entire premises. A cannon was planted at the southeast comer com manding the front entrance, and one was placed at tho northeast corner to command the back entrance to the courthouse. The infantry consisted of Co. A, Washington Guards, dipt. Cook; Co. B, Emmet Guards, Capt. Cox; City Rifles, Capt. W. A. Hart, First Hegimeut, and Battery B, Capt. Mountain. It was thought that an attempt would be made to rescuo the doomed men and that tome trouble might be created. But there was no sign ot disturbance and everything passed off quietly. James Johnson was taktn with vomiting in tho mornins and it was thought that he would have to be carried to his death, but he recovered so as to be able to walk unassisted: The sheriff read the death warrants and also the reprieves end then asked them what they had to say. Johnson at first said ho had noth ing to say. The death pallor had already besrun to show in his counte nance, but Brown lookol as fresh as he ever did. Brown took a stand on tho trap and began a hall hour'i harangue, startinsr in to recount all the inci dents of his lifo. Theshenft warned him that bo could not wait very long but would allow him a half hour. The prisoner's speeeh was full f dime novel sentiment ana snowed mm 10 lio a hardened criminal. He said substantially : lie had been the bead chief of a noted y;ang of highway rob bers in Caliternia for sis years, ana had eome up hero to see what he could spot. His uan'jr was to nave robbed McLaughlin's mnK, oan j osc, California, sometime since, but his plans were nevr carried out. His word with his gang was hw, and when he said e, they would go -'you bet." He had planned several rob beries in San Francisco. He was an otised of highway robbery onco and came near boing caught, lie took a seeming pleasure in saying that he had been a most noted highwayman, but he hoped that all young men aid women would turn frm their bad ways, and listen to the advico of pa rents. Via then sang a sons, "John Rogers," a character like himself, and then anothrr song, Jim Fisk, or Don't go Back on the IW. He said he believed he was reconciled to bis fate, but did not know. He said that he fired at Sp'-aiiue with the in tnrir.n nf kill'insr him. and that he was not one of the kind who "takes water." He did not fear knite, pis nl nr the trallows. He called on sympathy for his parents and those nf .I.linann. w hen the latter broke in and said, "You hold me in terrible suspense. Either talk to the point or auit." The sheriff told Johnson to keen oniet as n woum nvu . i j i - ohnnrn after awhile. Brown went on and refurred to the O'Shea matter and .h.nrail .Tahnsnn with bcinz the oansa of their detection, wmcu enuseu ami e. Brown spoke ot Johnson's infidelitr and upbraided him for his unbelief, to whit h the latter made no renlv. Johnson then tuok the floor and merely said that he had never been a noted highway man, and stood there a victim of ju dicial murder. Brown denied '.h;s and the sheriff then shut them both off. They were then handcuffed and strapped, the blacic cap puneu on and while a minister wasprayinir, the trap was sprung. Their necks were not broken but were dead in twenty minutes, after ver lit lo struggling. The bodies were buried at Lono Fir cemetery. "What a great thing the invention of the steam engine is," exclaimed a Frenchman sipping Lis coffee in one of ihe Paris restaurants. " hy so, innnired a friend setting next to him. "Because it is to that great invention that I owe my fortune. My aunt, who was killed last month by a rail road accident, hat left mo $20,000. A month ago to day I was hard at work trying to earn a living; to day I am a gentleman. What a great iuvenlion lit steam engine is."

Free Press. There m a day in the year but what one can see just such a parting as yesterday morning took laco at tho union depot. Man and wife had come down to the train which was to bear her to her mother. The hus band had fully persuaded her that her health was failing, and she oujht to go homo on a six weeks' visit. She thought she felt even better than usual, but husbands know best about thesj things, of course. Tho wife seemed to have made her prepara tions quickly and had not yet said what, was on her mind to say. It lacked thirty five miniiles'of train time, and as they sat down ia the waiting room she sad: "Now, Henry, the last timo I wont away " 'Just wait I want to see if that's our train," interrupted the husband as he rose up. Going out, he was absent seven minutes. Whtn he ro turned she was ready to say: '1 wanted to say to you that the neighbors " ''I.d I give you tho check for your trunk?" he suddenly inquired. She found it m her pookat, restored it, and began again: "Ot course I have confidence in you, but " "lou remember that you must not change cars at the Junction," he said as he looked at his watch. "When yon reach there you will hear men yelling change cars for this and that plaoe, but you sit right still." "Haven t I been over thp road four different times, and don't I know all the stations ? Now Henry, although there will bo no one in this house but yon, I have" "Did you forget that lunch basket?" he excitedly asked as he looked around and under the seat. She, had it on her lap all the timo. As soon as the had assurod him of its safety, she said: ''You now come 'rotn the office every evening at six, Itnd of course I shall expect ' Thai's our tram 1 he excitedly exclaims 1 as ho leaped up and grab- bod for the saahel. "Dear me,l wanted to say to you she replied as she followed him out. He rushed down the nopot and put aboard the coach as fast as possi ble, but while arranging the teat he said: "Now, Henry, I nin going away for six weeks, but I want to say that" "There goes the bell I'll be loft- let mo kiss you good bye, dear ! d ho was out of sight in au in stant. A man across the aisle who seemed to know how matters stood, looked at his watch and then called out: "It lacks just twci.ty two minutes of train time!" The wife rose up and walked to thu door, but Henry was cleir to tho depot, and all she could do was to give ono ot her baud boxes a kicx ana mutter: "I'll pay him for this 1 11 return unexpectedly." Slurrying the Wrong Woman. John Tarry, incomparably the most humorous coinio singer England ever bad. used to sinir u sons; about a shortsighted man who, when the marriage ceremony was concluded, found to his herror that he had mar ried his intended wife's wailing maid. A few weeks ago a similar sort ol bluudcr leally nearly happened. A couple residing at Devon, England, went to the parish church to be mar ried. Tho bride groom, Instead of taking his iutendel bride at the church door and accompanying her to I he altar, walked thither wilh the bride's sisL-r, who was one of the .bridemaids. The bride appeared to have thought that her intended bus band had changed Ins mind at me hut moment, and sheretiiid into a new in a very delected state of mind. The eeremony proceeded, and it was not uniil the tlerv'Mnan eame to me important question: "Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife ?" Hint the bridegroom was conscious oi his mistake. He then looked round the church with astonishment, and exclaimed: "This is the wrong maid, sir!" The right - maid was soon found, and the right maid was married to the right man. They begged him to play a little. He teemed io feel bashful at firtt, hut alter a while began to paw the ivory vigorously. "What power!" said a listener to tho ownor of the piano. "Yes," exclaimed the Utter in alarm, ne seems io chiv-. Lie muscle; but he ought to know that this isn't a gymnasium." An drews' Jldzar.

In the year 1840, when Polk was governor of Tennessee, there occured a vacancy in the United States sen ate, caused by tho death of a mem her from that state. The senator's term had nearly expire 1, and before a now member coui I be chosen the session would be nearly ovor; yet tho governor was importuned to call an extra session of the legislature to elect a senator to fill tho vacancy, but would not for the reasons above given. Excitement ran high, and there was considerable talk, even in the neighboring states; but li e gov ernor was fiiTTT, aifd"alteiitreatles and talk, proved unvailing. About this timo l'olk started for New Orleans, and, arriving at Smitlilaiid, Kentucky, on his way there-, slopped 1 1 the Gower house, kept by an old friend of his, Maj. Gower, who did his ut most to show his distinguished guest all the attention he could. Smithlaud is situated at tho mouth of the Cumberland river, and, boats stopping there on their way down the Ohio, their officers would make their headquarters at tho Gower house. At the time l'olk was there several boats were lying at the wharf, and, ot course, tho Uowcr house had its iisualnumber. Several persons were in the bar room, and one, a vocilerous fellow from one of the boats, was going on about the governor's recent action, and finally wound up his tirade by saving: "When I get back from New Orleans I am going to Nash villa to givs the old governor a regu lar 'blowing up.'" Folk stood quietly by and listened to hear him through, then sail: "Are you ac quainted withtho governor 1" "Oh yes," said the boatman, "well ac quainted; in fact we aro near rela tive." "Oh indeed I" suid l'olk, thsn turning to the others who knew him, with a wink, he ordered glasses and lit nor. and invited all up to drink. All accoptod his invitation, and just Iter all had totiuhud glasses in the old fashioned way. Major Gower, who understood the silua ion, sain: "Stranger, allow mo to nmko you ac quainted wilh Governor l'olk, of Ten nessee" J he boatman dropped Ins glass, and raising both hands, wilh a look of the most intense astonishment putted out: "My God I Is that Governor Folk ? I never saw a gov ernor before!" And Icaiing his liquor untasted, ho rushed out of the room amid tho laughtor of the rest, who keenly enjoyed the discomfiture and the governor's gvnorosily. WIih! a Button Did. Some years ago a button found on the scene of a murder led lo the de tection of a murderer, and a pin has been of similar service lately in l aris. A laundress, having received a hand smut legacy, was tooiish enough to mention to an acquaintance ia the saino house where she had placed the money. A few days later the other announced that she, too, had quite unexpectedly como into samo money, and invHed the Muihlrcss to oreaK fast. The latter emne, and tho enter lainmcut pasted off charmingly, but, strnnze lo sav, kiiu got dreadiuiiy sleepy after it, and only really woke up when Iter n isiess nan maae ner so exlia strong cup oil toffue. Upoo returning to her room she discovered that she nad been robbed, ihe po lice eamu and s .'arched her bureau, when there tumbled out of some linen a pin which she immediately rcc.ig nied as ono the had seen in her hos toss' fichu on the day of the break fast. A searoh in the hitter's room revealed the thief, who had drugged the hiundress ut break last, slipped out of the room wilh her keys, rob bed her and put the koys back in har pocket. No Old Milldt.

Etiquette forbids any allusion to a lady's dead husband in her pretence, and this is, perhaps, sometimes convenient. Those Bogus Ega. The San Francisoo Jost gives an' account of a new industry that hat arisen in that city namely, tho man- ' ufacturo of hens' eggs from inexpen sive materials. The albumen is irai- fv tated by a mixture nf sulphur, carbon and fatly matter, obtained from the slaughter houses and rendered sticky with mucilage. Tho yolk . is made of blood, phosphato of lime, magnesia, muriate of ammonia, oleic and mar gario aoids, and covered with chromo yellow. The shells are shaped by a blowpipe from a mass ot gypsum (plaster of Paris), carbonate of lime oxido of iron. After the sheila aro blown, the albnmen is forced in the small end, and sticks to the sides; then tho yolk is added, and after be ing covered with more of the albu men mixture the holo is sealed with cement. Ihe complete egg is then "rubbed pretty smooth and laid asido for packing." It is asserted that many barren ot thvse ezs navo been at- read idy shipped eastward for oonsump- c? rt tion, n, and, as a pleasing adjunct to meat from the "slink butcher," they will, no doubt, bo gratefully wel comed by British housekeepers in searoU of "cheap and nutritious" food. Provoking I'liirogrnpliy. Professor S , whose loss is ueply lamented in the scholastic cir cles of Now York, was at one lime highly valued contributor to the journal of which he afterward took large, and being ono day intro luc od to its editor, was greetod with eycry expression of cordiality and re- peot. It was a great pleasuro to meet one whose learning and services had been, etc., etc. "But, professor," added the editor, turning to him and seizing his had wilh sudden earnest ness, and wilh solemnity in his face, I hope you will pray for my prmtem" The protestor replied that no waa very happy to ofl'or his prayeis in be- lialt of nnv who were in need or them; but what was the spceU urgency iu this case ?

D. D. W. Fiich, who repre sents the Jilack J 111 Is district in tno Lower House, now silting at Yank ton, evinced a decided preference for billiards to law making, and became great annoyance to the Sergeant at- Vims. Tho latter always got his ... i ,,r , man, however, until last veane: av. On the afternoon of Wednes day the Sergeant sent the e'erks and messenger atler l'licti soon titer roll call He was found by tho posse :.ii a saloon. Taking to his heels the legislator escaped at a back window and ran across into Ne braska, theelorks giving chase, Flieh wheeled and ran back into Dakota, and before the pursuers could catch him gained his room in Yankton hotel, barred the door and covered the window with a shot-gun. At last accounts he was still in a state of siege. She was a lady passenger in ono of the transfer coaches which runs from the Sho Fly depot, and after becom ing tired of keeping still she turned to the driver and asked, "how much further does this horrid lull run?' Jehu replied: "Cloar to the bottom, madarue. "Sound," said the schoolmaster, "ia what you hear. Kr instance, yon cannot feel a sound." "Oh, yes, you can !" said a smart boy. "John Wil kin," retorted the pedagogu, "how do you mako that out? What SDiind can you feel?" "A sound thrashing," quickly replied tho smart boy.
