A Madrid letter to the Paris Figaro

for the murder of Juan Xinienes. ‘\ notary.
Says the writer: The Intrigue!" who this
morning saw the Puorto del Sor the first

gone wild with noisy merrimeut—just as
upon the occusiuu of some royal ceremony
at the ancient church of Antocha, or
of some great bull fight exhibition under
the management of Cartijo Mazzantini.

\vcre going to the Retire to wait for the
advent of the open carriage of some belle.
It was 9 o‘clock in the morning when I
left my house. Although the bcat was
already overwhelming. I resolved to go
on foot from the corner of tlic (‘alle de
Alcala to the place of execution. The
nearer I approached the square the more
compact became the. crowd. To proceed
at all soon became impomible. The
l crowding and pushing. however. only in-
creased the incrriment of the mischievous
girls of Madrid. ,
Suddenly the crowd halts and a great
silence falls. A close carriage. with
blinds down. escorted by a picket of civil
guards. slowly passes through the press.
We can follow it without hurrying our-
selves. ,
In a little while the place of execution
appears before me. thmnged with a mul-
titude swaying like a tide. and up from
the sea of heads emerges the white mast
of the scaffold.
I approach. .
Lying upon a stool. covered with a
Inow white cloth. is the gatote itself—
shimmcxing like a crown of steel. In :1
little while the executioner will attach it
to a post against which the ( rimiual is to
be fastened. The final preparations con-
sumed considerable time. so thnt I was
well able to make. a leisurely examination
of the sinister locality whither curiosity
had drawn me for the purpose of study-
ing the physiognomy of the great pushing
or squeezinu crowd. As always. and in
all places: t ie women were the most nu~
merous. The plua where the execution
took place is on very high ground; and
thepure air one breathes there must in-
crease the crilninal‘s regret for life at the
moment \\ hen his respiration is about to
be cut short forever. T be houses sur—
rounding it. mostly of humble aspect. are
widely interspaced. Between them a
stranger who loves: classic landscapes can
obtain a good View of the sunburned and
yellow plains of Xuevn Castillo and the
bluish mountains of Gusdatnara in the
horizon. ,
The deploy of military forces about the
scntIold was considerable. I counted no
less than six detachments of different
corps. There werc‘lanccrs with Prussian
shaped helmets of brass. gendarmes in
black with yellow straps and belts and
white trimmings. blue uniformed light.
cavalry. infnntry. provincial guards with
red cups. The martial deportmcnt of
men. nearly all young. strong and hand-
some. impressed me very much. ‘ ‘
Now there is a great movement around
the scaflold. The soldiers close their
ranks and three men approach the scaf~
fold. One of them ascends it. It is the
executioner. He is thin. low—sized and
looks about forty years old. \Vhile wait~
ing for his victim he keeps walking ner«

his back and his head down.

sion of countenance. Perhaps he is air-aid
of the power of resistance possessed by
the i‘t‘l‘Yl' il vertebne of Alvarez. and is
tliercfon afraid of losing his bounty.
Noisy as it was" a little while ago. the
crowd now suddenly becomes silent.
Sonic I. omen are turning pale; and one
can feel that a ner\ ous excitement weighs
upon the crowd. A; low rumbling is h ‘ard.
It is the black carriage tlint bcaistbc con-

Scaffold; and the criminal is soon paiu~
fully climbing the twelve high steps of
the dismal scaffold. leaning on the arm
of a priest. Another priest precedes him,

together with his vigorous youth. would
give him strength to face death. But
nothing,' of the kind is now shown by
him; and rcnlly it was too much to ex-
pect of a man who knew his fate forty-
eight. hours ago. and who. while listening
to the funeral chants in the union chapel,
must have beheld all kin s of hideous
visions passing before him.
Its I stood on an elevation overlooking
the scaffold. I was able to observe all the
details of the last scene of the tragedy.
The condemned mun mechanically
yielded himself up to the exu‘utioncr.
The latter sat him down at the foot. of
the post. with his back to it, and then
tied his hands and feet hard . and fast.
He did all this without hurrying himself
in the least. and with all that dignified
indill‘efince which characterizes the
Spanish finictionary in the discharge of
his duty. If the preparations had lasted
even a few seconds longer I believe I
should have lost all my own self-control.
I could hear my heart thumping in my
breast. and every moment or two some-
thing like'a veil came before my eyes.
You could not hear even a whisper in
the crowd. While one of the ricsts
pressed a crucifix to the colorless lips of
the sufi‘erer, another was min-muting
words of consolation and hope into his
ear. But the wretched man was not listen-
ing. IIis expressionless face had a waxen
pallor, and his eyes. as they wandered
over the ocean of faces before him, al.
ready seemed dim with the dimness of
death.
He started considerably when the exe-
cutioner laced the iron collar about his
neck, an I observed his month contract.
Then, however, a white covering thrown
over his features bid them from further
observation. The executioner then gave
two or three turns of the screws con-
nected with the instrument of death.
The bones of the neck cracked. a long
trembling ran through the whole body,
the arma‘twisted outward. Alvarez was

A quaint lesson in economy was given
by an English woman of wealth and
position to on American friend. It re~
latcd to the method of preserving a stair
carpet. To maintain the elegant carpet
in its entirety as lonyw as possible the
owner said that she an the lord of the
mansion had agreed to traverse certain
routes on the stnir carpet, the one to kee

the left hand side of the carpet. It was
expected that. company would . keep
exclusively to the centre of the stairway,
and that as a mull: of the arranvement.
the stair carpet would grow old with
equal rapidity in all its parts.
