Never, in al! his recollection of his

"It is all my own fault." Mr. Hilton
continued, -that I am a lonely, miserable

It seemed as if. in the excitement of his
recital, Mr Hilton had forgotten the con-versation,
that had immediately suggested
it.
He ro-c from his seat, and njM'uiug a
cabinet in the r.s.in. brought hack a small
box. It contained a bracelet of beir wiih
an inexpensive clasp and a locket,
"When we were in Paris.'1 he said.

''and yet I dare not tell you whal I hope.

"Hilly one hour—I will la. hack then!"
"Slop!" Mr. Hilton cried, shaking with
excitement.

SENSATIONS IN HANGINB.

however, that this r.ilclj occurs, and

Tombs, and observed the victim care-fully,

perfectly iiiotioiilcss.su far as

end of u minute anil ten seconds there
were three very alight diawings-up of
the bet. und a peculiar quivering of I
the hands. Then all was Still and re-mained
so until the body was taken
down. Iu this case the ueck wa 11 >t
broken, and dcaih took place from
asphyxia.
Chancellor llacon has reported the ,
case of a gentleman WHO put a cord
around Ins ueck and hung himself,
stepping off trom a small bench on
which he had been standing, and ex-pecting
lo I* able to mount it again
when he wished. This was impossible
on account of the l«s- of conscious-ness,
which supervened immediately.
ami the experiment would have had a
tragic ending if a friend had not by
chance entered ami released him.
Keruarkable examples art on record
of persons who allowed themselves to
l«* hung lor the entertainment ol an
audience. An account of on.- of them
; is given in the Launt of April 17.
i 187-1. The man's real name was John
i llarnshaw. Ile was an athlete, and
I among other feats it was customary
wilh him t" exhibit the process ot
hanging. In this performance he ro-licd
for security on tin strength ot tne
muscles ol the neck and throat. He
had a rope wilh a fixed knot which
could not slip, and passed both eodsof
1 the loop up behind oue ear. The
whole act was so adroitly managed
that he prevented any pressure of the
r..|ieon the windpipe "r ihe jugular
veins, and could etui sustain a weight
ol one hundred and lifiy pounds >'■
addition to that ot his own body.
tin three separate occasions Hi.™-
shaw mismanaged the rope, and be-came
unconscious, being inckilj res-cued
each tune. Now. this "1.111
stand, md wiih particuhu rele/eneetp
either accident, hut as common l" all,
that "he could hardly recollect an>-
thing that happened to him in the
rope;" that "lul lost hi- sense- all at
once; the instant the rope got ill the
wrong place In- lelt as ii In- could not
' g.t his breath—as il some great
w.iubt wereal biefeet; couhi not move
only to draw himself up; bit as it he
wanted to loosen hnuseli. hut never
thought of his hands." And he
added: "You cannot move tour arms
or legs to save yourself; you cannot
raise your arms; vou cannot think,
lie did U"l see -parks ol light,-
'but had in his ears, a ratthn. Bound.
Iii the second instance, winch "as
been fully recorded, the -bowman was
not so fortunate. He was known as
Scott, the American diver, and he. like
llarnshaw, had many times hung him-self
before an audience with safety.
The last time, however, the rope
■lipped in such a way as to compress
the throat and hrtng on asphyxia, lie
bum: thirteen minutes, ihe spectators
thinking that he was prolonging the
experiment for their eruliticatioii.
When he was taken down he was dead.
It is jusj to those who were looking on
[0 -tat. that they thought be wa- safe,
because he was slill. mid did not raise
his lect and siand U|KIII the scaffold,
which his leg, actual! touched. This
ease -hows with peculiar lore ihe in-
•tdious manner in which death comes
on 111 a-phyxia.
I'u i-chmauii sais: "If a |M-r»on puts
a cord aruuml his neck, between the
ll}Old bone and the clnn. he can draw-it
tight at ihe hack or side, without
the respiration being visibly inter-fered
with, and can 1 or a long time
continue to inspire and expire natu-rally
enough, because in this situation

dizziness, a sort of distress, and th 11.
all in an instant, a hissing and n.ai-ing
iu the ears. This last symptom
should lie especially noticed, fur it is
time then to stop tlie experiment."
Devergie states plainly, alter con-sidering
all the facts, that hanging is a
pleasant way of dving. Hi- words
arc: "In suicide, at the moment of the
application of the cord. ..r a few mo-ments
after, a feeling of pleasure niaui-k'-
is its it; then supervenes disordered
vision; bluish tl 1111. s app. ar I. for.- the
eyes, ami ihe loss of coosclousneaa
soon follows."
All the evidence goes to show that
death by hanging is painless, aud there
is positively no fact or well louuded
opiuioii to the contrary. If this l.c
ihe (-as", then, what is Ihe explanation
of it? Simply this: That 111 every
form oi strangulation the Wood-ves-sels
of the ueck are compr. ftsed, as
well as the air-passagi s. A large part
of the blood is returned from the head
by tlie external jugu ar veins, which
are very near the surface, and HI which
Ihe current can Is- checked by slight
pressure. Most of the blood from the
brain itsell comes Lack through tic
internal jugulars, which lie near, but
a little outside of. the carotid art Til s
The wall- of v. ins are lax and yield-ing,
so as to I* easily compressed,
while those oi il,,. arteries are firm and
elastic, ami it requires considerable
force to approximate them. Pn ssure,
then, which i- sufficient to close tlie
jugular veins only crowds the carotids
a little lartlier inward, ami the blood
is still poured through them into the
brain, whence it cannot escape. Wh 11
this pumping process is going on at the
rale 01 seventy strokes a minute, it is
easy to understand how the engorge-ment
01 Hi. vessels of the brain, in a I
very brief time, reaches a degree which
causes insensibility.
Itoth drowning and hanging an-paiuless
modes of dying, because the
asphyxia which causes death is com-plicated
by other circuinstunces which
