It is obvious that we do not hang enough people in thia country. As a missionary work alone, banging should become more common and popular. Nothing has ever been devised that can be compared to it for efficacy in promoting pietv on the part of tbe subjects. There was Buckhout, the perpetrator of the murdera at Sleepy Hollow, New York, and about as unconscionable a brute and malefactor as the criminal annals of the country can produc . If he had been simply reutenced to im prisonment for life there is reason to apprehend that he would not have been brought to any saving sense of the error of his ways ; but just before be was hunt, the other dav. ha save the amilv " w ' m ing assurance that he had repented and secured forgiveness. If juiies, and courts, and governors will not be moved to the infliction of hempen punishment by the demands of justice or the safety of society, let them take into the ao count the spiritual welfare of the culprit, and hang him forwitb. Chican Tim ft,

A Trunk Horror la

MarMillM (Jan. Ti) Curreapondsiic N. T. Herald. Every one was beginning to breathe more freely, when we were shocked by the news of a tu1 murder in our mid-1 The victim ia u merchant of Tunis, or ru? her the continental agent of a mercantile house in that city. Atout ten iuya ago thia person, whose nuu was Grego, was inviifd bf a couple of intimate friends to visit them in a Htore they had jut hired. They were fellow countrymen, und profetsed the same need, possibly sat in the came Eew in the Synagogue of tbe Hue reteull. So he went, nothing suspecting, to the Hue de Tonneliers. There he found his two friends, and a third friend and a countrymen, who had, as it were, just dropped in. The chief criminal, named Sidebon, who had planned the murder, knew that Grego liaü received, or was about to receive, 250,000f., in drafts, from Tunis. No sooner had the victim reached the middle of the store, than the accomplice, Niscime, struck him down with a leaded cane. Sidebon immediately strangled him. The third party, Toludano, a young mtn of 21, and who now appears in the character of informer, says he did nothing. The three murderers proceeded to the victim' lodgings at 47 Hue Montgrand, where they found, the informer says, from fifty to sixty thousand francs, which they carried off and divided among them at Sidebon'o lodging in the Rue Fongate. Tbe next move was to dispose of the body. For this purpose they bought a saw and an axe, chopped and sawed tbe body up, procured a trunk and packed up the pieces. Sidebon and Toludano then went on board a Tunisian vessel in the port, asked the Captain to take a trunk to Tunis, and to send a boat for it to the foot of the Cannebiere The boat was sent in charge of a boy, who was sent off by them to get cigars, and they then rowed the boat containing the trunk outside the docks. When they thought themselves at a safe distance, Hu y threw tbe thing overboard, but, not being heavy enough to sink, it floated. They left it to float away, but it did not go far, for next morning a fisherman lound it stranded at the Chateau d'If. This man reported his trouvaille, and Toludano was soon found. Upon his testimony N'scime was immediately arrested, but Sidebon has not yet been found. Toludano gave up 15,000f., which he says watt all he got, and 25,000f. more were found at the bottom of the cistern. The victim was buried on Sunday in the Israelit? Cemetery. TsM unhappy uian was weir known at the bouise, and the affair has caused a great dea' of painful excitement. 'I he murderers belonged during the war to the legion raised here, called " Egalite," a legion of known Communis and ruffians. It is almo.t enough to say that it was commanded by Delpooh. Improvement In Trotting Time. Fi m Wilkes' Spirit. In Goldsmith Maid we have seen displayed such a capacity for repeating fast feats as no other trotter exhibited. At least three times she has trotted three heats, inside of 2m. 2Us., and at each of these trots lias reduced the best aggregate time of the three fastest heats in harness. Ten years ago the 2ni. 19?. in harness ol Flora Temple was unrivaled. George M. Fatchen had been close up with her in fast beats, but in none of them as good as 2m. 20., nnd it was set down that he was as good as people might reasonably look for. Yet, in 1S64. when Dexter's best time waa in 2m. ?.0f. to harness, Hiram Woodruff took his friend, C. J. Foster, to Pexter's tible. and said : " Here is the king of the woild.'' He was right, too, but it was not given to any king to reign all the time, and in the natural course of events Goldsmith Maid has entered into the throne by legitimate succession. When it was seen that live public horses had beaten 2m. 20s, and all cotemporaries for Dexter, Lady Thorn. Goldsmith Maid, George Palmer and American giridiffered but littlein age -it ahowed that the natural course of events favored speed. When to this it was added that Goldsmith Maid had twice trotted three heats all inside of - . . at . 1 2m. 2Us., it seemea pretty piain mat suecould get below Dexter's best time. It is our firm belief that he would have got below it before now if he had remained on the public turf. For the development of speed, bottom, and other elements required to make up the racehorse, there is nothing so good as racing itself, and when he was taken from the turf there was an end to his main ehance to improve his time, for no horse can really have any time except that which is given him by the turf authorities for a performance in a public race, but to improve in those elements of speed, admirable notion, gameness and stoutness, for which he was once so remarkable. In the natural course of events his time has naw been beaten by Goldsmith Maid, and inasmuch as Jay Gould, a green hon, came out last year and trotted in 2 minutes 22 seconds with Judge Fullerben also in hia first season, and younger than he close to him, we may very likely see her time beaten in the same natural course of events, without living to be very old men. Simple Cure ftor Kbeumatiam. An exchange furnishes tbe following as a sure cur for this painful disease i "Boil a small potful of potatoes, and bathe the part affected with the wnter in which the potatoes were boiled, as hot as can be applied, immediately before going to bed. The paina will be removed, or at least alleviated, by tbe next morning. Some of the most obatinatc lheumatio paina have lately been cured by one application of this novel remedy."
