Inquiries from many persons as to whether they could be compelled to pay for newspapers sent to their address without authority have received the following ruling from the PostofHce Department: "The liability of a party to pay for a newspaper must be determined by the rules applicable to other contracts. When a publisher without request from a party, either express or implied, sends a paper, the mere fact that the party addressed takes the paper from the postoffice does not of itself create a liability to pay' for' it It takes two to make a contract, and one party without the consent of the other cannot make -him his debtor.

JEEAJS iSMAK MAUWOOD.

I Man Who Abandon the Ministry to Adopt ait Infamous Vallin'j. Lrom the Chicago Tribune. William Marwood, tle EjiglisL. cxesutioner, who died not long ago, wasbora in Ganleeby, England, a 'few miles from Horn Castle. Prom his jrouth he was an ardent reader, and some years ago was a Wesleyan preacher. He was looked up to by tha lower classes as a man of learning ; they called him the "Counsel." He started a small shoe-shop in Horn Castle, Lincolnshire, England, adjoining the churchyard. His neighborhood was known as the "hangman's corner." He was soon placed in effigy in Mme. Tussaud's wax exhibition, owing to the notoriety he had gained. His appearance was quite at variance with his profession. He was in stature about five feet eight inches, always dressed well, and looked to be a well-to-do tradesman. He had dark, restless eyes and a beetling brow, a high and expansive forehead. It was Marwood's custom to always carry a supply of cards, on which, was neatly printed: "William Marwood, Public Executioner, Horn Castle." In this way he advertised himself and his cheerful occupation. For many years Marwood was the assistant to Calcraft, public executioner, and succeeded that individual some twenty years ago. When not engaged hanging her Majesty's criminals, he worked at the shoemaking trade att Horn Castle. He did a dashing business in selling "leather l.ces" to people who had a morbid curiosity to see the hungman, and who visited his shoe-shop for that purpose. Marwood thought he was a great man and was proud of the fact that he hung all the criminals. He was always willing that the public should know who he was, and he joked and laughed with Btrangers about the different executions. Once he met a fellow with a bad cold, who asked him if he knew of anything that would cure it. "Yes," said Marwood, "one of my drops is a sure" cure. " He was devoted to his profession and loved to talk of the artistic manner in which he shuffled off his victims. He has frequently been heard to say: "Hi never makes' a botch of my work; when Hi lets the chap drop 'e's done for, and don't make no fuss by kickin' and struggling I's always civil with the poor devils as can't help themselves, and the neater the job the better he's satisfied. " When on his way to hang anyone Marwood always carried a little leather handbag, .in which were the rope, black cap, and other paraphernalia of an exe cution. Many stories are told about Mar wood in the North of England, and so great was the dread of him that he was often refused permission to hotels by superstitious proprietors. When hang ings are numerous Che professional hangman makes a good deal of money. He gets $50 for every man and $75 foi every woman he swings into eternity. It is estimated that Marwood had stretched between 3S0 and 400 persons since he took charge of this depart ment of her Majesty's service. The way m which Marwood became hangman, is interesting. Twelve years ago, when Calfraft was retired, Mar wood went before the Government Medical Department and asked for the position, saying" that he had a svstcm by which he eould cause instantaneous death to the condemned, and being quite an anatomical student he con vmced the department that his system was superior to Calcrai't's, and he was given the place. When Calcraft was public executioner he used a rope but three feet long, and when he had drawn the bolt it was his custom io seize the hanging man's legs and swing- on them until certain that death had ensued. "That," said Marwood on one occasion, "led me to increase the length of the rope to nine feet, which length secures a much better result. The way I do it, the neck is quickly dislocated, the spinal cord bi'oken, and the air-pipes closed. Thus, the lungs cease to perform their functions and artificial apoplexy is produced, so that death is in stantaneous. In 1880 Marwood visited America, and while in New York visited the Tombs. There he held a short conversation with Christine Cof and Pietro Balbo, who were then under senteuce of death, and looked them over closely from a "professional stand-point. He also inspected the gallows in the yard and its appliances. He pronounced them semi-barbarous, aiid explained that the system in vogue in America caused a man needless pain. A statistical comparison, showing the relative extent to which various na tions are addicted to the use of tobacco, gives proportions as follows: For England, France and Bussia, 5; fox Italy, 7; for Cuba, 11; for Austria, 14; for Germany and North America, 15; for Belgium, 24; and for Holland, 28. No matter what his rank or position may be the lover of books is the richest and the happiest of the children of men. Lanoford-.
