Meanwhile, it? was 7.45 a.m., and off started Valentin with his body-guard to the scaffold, then followed the two priests, with the white man in the centre, who seemed" quite resigned, and walking with firm steps. It; was a mournful procession, and just before going out of the prison we joined it, walking until within fifteen yards of itue 6ca2old, and asi soon as we got there we were surrounded by Boldierß, bo that there, was no getting out of the square. The culprit coolly walked up the stairs, followed by the two priests, who had to sfcnd at his side, and sat down, smoking. all the while. The executioner fixed the .collar, while the priest spoke a fewworda to' him, and then kissed him on the fore* head and said " Good-bye," and the word being given the executioner gave THE FATAL TWIST, and with a spasmodic kick his legs went forward, his head gave a backward movement, and • then his eyes and tongue came falling out. The executioner pulled down the mask to .cover his face, and the doctors -went up to certify he was dead, bat there was a delay of eight minutes before they gave their decision, after which the executioner. undid the collar, and lifted him off his seat and placed him on the floor, and put a cover over the body.

He was&lEo BHOEINQ A CIGAR, and mounted the stairs, looking the while quite complacently on his dead companion, taking fcu ee^.with'amaziß^ C9oln.«s^ He

spoke two or three times to the priest, while the executioner stood aside and waited till they were finished, and on the conclusion he said, "Adios, cabal leros !" and within a jiffy he. had also paid the penalty of his crime. After this the body was left on the chair, as well as the other on the floor, for six hours, from 8 a.m. until twelve midday. Three or four sentries were left to guard the bodies.
