The Last Moments of M.

Gamtoetita,

notable Episodes of an Exciting

Career.

(From our London Coeubspondent.)

As you and other colonial newspapers arc sure to have published long and interesting biographical sketches of the late Leon Gambetta at the time the news of his death was cabled out to .New Zealand, it ODly remains for mo to li'l in the blanks by telling you of the treat man's last momenta and relating one or two of the most in terestirg and characteristic anecdotes current about him. The announcement of Gambetta's unexpected decease was made in London early upon New Year's morning, and created a profound £enEation. Most people Know he was ill, but even in Paris, no danger seems to have been apprehended up to the evening of the 29th Decem her. The mysterious revolver accident which caused this famous statesman's fatal illness, took placo on November 27th at Villc D'Avray, near Sevres, where he sorce years a^o bought a villa, At first neither the patient nor his friends thought much of the catastrophe, and it was (as I have said) only on the morning of the 30th danger set in. The Final Scene. As to the linal scene, which only few wit nessed, iepoit3 do not concur. According to one account, M. Oambetta, who had felt free from pain pil day, was allowed about six o'clock to paitake of a boiled egg. Ho said he felt hungry, and enjoyed it. Two hours later ho complained of excruciating pain, and piteously asked for water. His breathing became stertorous, but he re tained his consciousness, and asked : " Can nothing bo done to relievo me? C'est Irop souffrir (it is too much suffer inn)." lie then fell into a coma tose state, from which he afterwards rallied slightly. When Dr. Lannelonguo cime up, he recognisfd him, and said, "C'cstfuii, docteur, masoijc voiis bieii re connaissant." ("It is all over, doator, but lam well able to recognise you.") Then the clouds of death gathered round him, his breath grew* heavy and labouied, but breath and pulse grow weaker and weaker, and ho passed imperceptibly away at exactly five minutes before midnight. On the morning of New Year's uay, the " Times" correspondent paid a vivit to the Villc D'Avray, and thus desciibes The Death Chamber. M. Gambetta's friends were standing at the d00r.3, preventing too great a pressure inside thedwelling. People were admitted by groups of live aud (en into the passage, whenco they mounted into the bedroom on the first floor, wliers M, Gambetta's body is lying. Ministers, Deputies, Senators, and functionaries who were personally known to him were among the visitors, and with the aid of friends in the house, succeeded in reaching M. Gambetta'a bed. The uspent oftheroomwasstrangeandtouching. Truly it was by the curious irony of fate that .so many official personages should come to pay their visit at tbis place, so little designed for such a purpose, to one who had been Dictator ot the Country, President of the Chamber, Prime Minister - duiing long and momentous years arbiter of the destinies of France. Tbe room is small, some 15 feet. or 16 feet broad, aud scarce y 9 feet high. The ceilings are as low ai ou the ground iloor. It is lighted by two windows looking out on the fields forming the property. Two small white curtains are the ouly covering of the windows. It is likewise but half furnished. On the door side a small iron beditead, a mahogany chest of drawers, a few chairs and a small table alongside the bed. The bed on which the bjdy is lying ia narrow and without any kind of ornament. At the head of this bed is a barometer. The white sheeti covered the whole body except the head, which rests on the pillows, slightly raised at the neck. The tace is thin, and pale with the livid pallor of death, The hair, thrown back, is greyer thin it used to be, and the beard ia entirely grey. The head thus seen, appears 15 years older than M Gam betta really was. Suffering, agitation, and conflict have evidently aged it. The "Daily Telegraph's" correspondent gives a still more graphic Picture of the Corpse. Upon high pillows, says the writer, rests tho head thrown back, and so affording a full view of the flue head with its delicately chiselled features. The hair is brushed back from the brow, and the eyes are opeD. An expies3ton of trauquility v boroe on every feature, and uroundthe mouth is the beginning of a happy smile. The grey hair and whiskers give at firat the impression of the corpse being that of a man at ieait ten years older than M. Gamb'etta was, but on a closer examination, traces are still to bs seen of the fiery vehemence of youth. The coverlet of the bed ia completely hidden by beauti ful wreaths and bouquets, placed during this morning by bereaved friends. On either side is a guardian attendant, and at the foot is an artist making a drawing of the face. On leaving the room by a second door a book was presented to each visitor to sign. The entries duiing to-day num bered some iifteen hundred, Gambetta's Career. The "Times" obituary notice of the late M. Gambetta occupied no less than five full columns, aud the-same journal pub lished a leading article (supposed to be written by Mr T. 11, Escott), and a long but rather depreciatory telegram from its Paris correspondent, M. »-lowitz. The "Daily News"description of the President of the French Republic, when (and not many years ago either) he was a com paratively insignificant nobody is Interest" ing :—" He frequented, with many other Republican students, the Cafd Procope, where the wits and cucyclopediaas of tbe eighteenth century drank mulled claret and talked treason. He waa an almost briefless barrister then, a dark, Italian-blooded young Frenchman, blind with one eye and not over well-dressed, but with a Voice sounding as brass, it was tho magic of the man, this voice. When silent, he looked insignificant enough, but once he began to speak, the rather Bohemian crew of frienda around him awoke to admira tion. The desultory customers scattered about the other tables would prick their ears, aud tho landlord would hurry up in a scared fai-hiou to beg the impetuoua orator to speak lower, because . . . and hero a whisper. But he with tlia ringing voico would shrug Irs shoulders at the "Because," even when there was the Head of the Police's name tacked ou to it. He held the evening uowspaper iv his hands with the report of a speech delivered by 1 some one of that twenty-three -say Jults Favro, or Ernest Picard—who breasted iv tho Corps Lej-islatif the mob of M. Rouher's l blatant henchmen, aud until the speech t had been read through iiom end to end, 5 with sonorous biavos~at the telling points, tho-e was no stoppiug him with dread of eavesdroppers. Then, when tho paper was 1 laid down, : more drinking of beer would j ensue than perhaps the matter strictly re- J quired, and the young barrister would blaze out into flashing comments of what he had read, adding what ho would do and , say if the chance were afforded him. Nor j did his Bohemian friends smile at this i Each man among them felt in him • self that limitless confidence which impecuniosity begets, and they were also firmly persuaded that if their companion could find the opportunity bo would set men's tongues rattling about him, Their J companion did find the opportunity; and [ next day the name of Gambetta was famous ; from one end of Francs to the other. [At the Siege of Pans. > The siege of Paris brought M. Gambetta to the most romantic part of his career, ihe National .Defence Government had , delegated two of their members, M. M. I Cremieux and Glaiz-BizoiD, to go to Tours and govern the provinces; but being both elderly men ot weak health they were ' hardly up to their work, and early in , October M. Gambetta was ordered by his [ colleagues to join thorn. He had to leave Paris in a balloon, and in goiDg over the : German lines nearly met with misadven t turo thiough the balloon sinking till it came within range of some marksmen's rifles. jHe reached Tours in safety, however, and set to work at once with marvellous I activity to organise resistance against the invasion. He was ably seconded by M de Freycinet, and bitween them these two did all that it was humanly possible to per fotra; but from the iitst their task was one ot tormldable difficulty, and all chances of repelling the Germans from French soil vanished after tbe shameful capitulation of Bazaine at Melz. Nevertheless, all who saw M. Gambetta during his proconsulate at Tours will remember with wbat a eplendid energy he woikod, how Bincerely hopeful bo was, and this must not bo for gotten, how uniformly generous and genial. Invested with despotic power?, he never once used them to molest an opponent. Many Bonapartists trembled lest he should have them arrested, or, by quartering battalions of Mobiles on them, cat up their

substance.; but-he let them alone"" ami' ' would not Buffer them to bo bullied lt placeman under his orders. ;*» «>y ■ Gambetta's Mode with Adventurers, One of his greatest worries came frorath- • horde of adventurers who besieged hi, bow, # night and day begring for contracts, official 8 posts, and commiuioiu, or saggestiig 2S of campaign for the rout of the e\X' I Gambetta at last found out a way of dcS i • with these cormorants. He wed to n c v? H them in a large room full of clerks *n* officers, he the while sitting in his S sleeves,smoking "Speakup,sir,»heaied T to cay, speaking sometimes with a voW : like a gong; at other times laughing vrith • - : Rabelaisian joviality; and byaSch mean, he roadily put out oi countenance men wW: ' * had only come on foolish business I n hi public harangues, both at Touts and Bor deaux (whither the Provisional Govern ment repaired iv December, being driven southward by the German advance) he somehow always managed to electrify hWi i' hearers. He spoka from balconies, railwtv > carriages, kerbstones ; wherever he wentthe people demanded a speech of him, and his V j words never failed to cbeer, while they conquered for him a wide popularity. In,' deed, Gambetta so deluded himself with in! fusing hope arid combativeness into others" that when, after a five months' seige Paris' capitulated, he still persisted in thinkina that resistance was possible, and rather than take any part in the national sur render, he gave in his resignation. He was : by that time fairly worn out, and had to': go to at. Sebastian to recruit his health It was alleged tint he went there so as to avoid taking any side in tbe civil war be. " tween the Parliament of Versailles' and '■"' the Commune, but after the Commnnist Government had been at work a fortnight U'i and when the impractibility of its aims was fully disclosed, he took care to let it ba known that he was on the side of the Na tional A ssembly. Cause of Death, The doctors who attended the late M, Gambetta state that death was due to blood poisoain° caused by suppresses in, sipslas. A clot of blood formed ia tha heart and suffocated the deceased.

THIPLE EXECUTION IN LEELAND.

■ ■■;' ■ f Scene on the Scaffold, When Winiata was executed in Auckland about six months ago, our morning contem.' porary indulged ia some ratlier cevere ctitl. cism of the manner in which the amateur hangman employed on the occasion pet. formed his disagreeable duties. In this L course of its remarks, the ''Herald"held ; up for admiration the professional aud ' polished style in which Marwood. "executed1' his duties, and generally it posed as a connoisseur of hangingmethods. Bnt it would seem that even the able and ■ efficient Marwood is uot immacalate as a " haDgist," as is evident from an account just to hand of the execatioa of Patrick Joyce, Patrick Casey, and Myles Joyce,' for the Maantrasna murder at Galway, Ireland. It appears that the. three men were hung tn one scaffold. Fat Joyce, the tallest of the three men, was placed in the centre, whilst Myles Joyce was on the side iKarjst ta the en-, trance. Their faces were turned towaids.". the wall, and atter Maiwood had put na the long straps be at once proceeded to ' draw over the faces the white crapes, Bev|l next proceeded to adjust the fatal noose, ODd as lie tighlcncd tue rope around Myles- / Joyce's neck he momentarily interrupted the protestations of the dying man; but. Joyce at once renewed his declaration of ,;*"? innocence. Immediately afterwards Mat wood pulled the lever, and the thfeeii lrdies were dangling in the air. , It jasi J^ soon ob*eivable, however, that there"'!; was something wroDg with the rop^sp from whioh Myles Joyce was' su^gf pended. It was not so straight asihs'lg others, and it svrung to and frc The : moment Marwood looked into the cv. ,^i pit into which the three men had dropped, he sat down upon the scaffold, and with or» ', foot and one arm tugged several times, evidently adjusting something that hai|| gone wroDg. Subsequently it transpircdj that when Myles Joyce fell, the rope hadss become entangle I under his left arm.',?. While the hitch was being set right thoji hangmoA was heard to mutter between hia:| teeth w'Jother the fellow!" That cxl presdon caused a cold shudder to pa;s over: many of thespectators of the sickening sight,' All that was alleged against the Auckland hangman, and which made our contempo." j rary go into humanitarian fits, was that he hung on the legs of the hanging criminal" to expedite the work of suffocation; bnt;e such was a mild procedure compared'with:1! the reaching down of a foot and an 'i arm; ''tugging" and kicking at the snsft pended wretch in order to undo the tangle- 4 ment resulting from a prior bungle in the)S work of pinioniug. The exclamatipDjS " Bother the fellow 1" leaves room for,tlie;« horrible suggestion that, Joyce's arm being ■' free, he had clutched deßperately ifi Marwood's leg or arm, and that the latter.' $ had to maka a strong " tug " to effect his liberation. ... "

EXCELSIOR LODGE OF GOOD TEMPLANS.

A eocial gathering of the membeis and , friends of the Excelsior JLodge, N.Z.0.G.T,, was held last evening in the Franklin Road School-room, and was numerously attended,' . nearly two hundred persons being present." ". Mr Btack occupied the chair, and iM-M meeting was opened by singing a popular temperance ode and the chairman's ad' 9 dress, which, if it possessed no other merit, >■ | was not too loup, and was rather oaf f o£ the ordinary style. He expressed Ms pleasuie on teeing such a large end respect", table audienco present, which seemed to | indicate that the lodge was true to Its;"" title—Fxcelsior, onward and upward; in fact the lodge was regaining somewhat of its pristine character. In the course cf i his remarks he referred to some of fluf"|s old wri'ers of past centuries, neglected' T mostly by the young men of the pte'ent, a«e; such as Browne, Miltoß, Evelyn, ' and numerous others, who had wrilfeii|| directly or indirectly against the prevairn? ; cirse of the people. It was seldom,' hon> ever, that temperance speakers quoted from those noble authors, possibly because ■tbcjrjj had not the necessary time for research;".; and on the other hand," the golden pearls of.. literature were disiegardcd by other.*, pat-, " ticularlyby young men of the day, whcKJB paid more attention to capering about ay room than in the education of the mini aud heart. Solomon and Shakspeare, re-, pnted wise men, have told as that wfa*|*[i is a mocker, and that men committed V" grave error in putting a bottle to thewj,:^ mouths ti> steal away their brains. Jeremy ,' I Taylor, the fchakc peare of theology, had shewn the evils of sinful indulgence, and- - Milton, in his " Samson Agonistes," W°^|;| a powerful protest against intemperance—.'. "Oh, madness, to think uso of strongest.;^ wines and strongest drinks, onr chief ' support in health"—have spoken upon/ the several evils associated with the I unhallowed cup. 'Ihe Chairmanintrsduced.^ the programme^ which was as follows '''~'-~ Songs: Mr Salt, "Jackets of Blue" ana.:* " The Dtlicate Flower " ; Mra Bogers.;;}?] " Merry Parting "; Mr Mulltdine, "Seek.f ; not to Know her Name"; Mrs.' Davy» ; |* " Truth in Absence", Misses Matthew* • and Evans, vocal duet; Mr Towfisenu) '• Farewell, FaLe Girl" ; Mr Bunw, "Tfce 8 Wheel of Ufa ; " Miss Battersby, "Baoks | of Allan Water"; Mr Clark, "Wake up, | Johnny, my hoy." .Recitations; Chairman, |; "The Girl who could not make*-,;-; Pie" ; Mr Mackie, W.C.J., "The Cnr^.^ Bell;" Mr Chester, "Alodzo the Brave; a Miss Rogers, " The Drunkard's Pjiß|, Wife;" Mrs Anderson, " Bule Britannia,.. with chorus by the company. Kefreih- ~ ments were then handed round, after which I the young people indulged in a number of parlour games. Thanks were given to.the £& friends who assisted, and to BrotLnra • 1 Anderson and Mackie for their trouble in getting up ihe entertainment, which. W«?..i, ---most satisfactory in its issues.

Directors : Hon. Jas. Williamson, M.G.A. Thomas Russell, Esq., C.M.G. J. C. Firth, Esq. J. M. Clark, Esq. James Russell, Esq. Every Maclean, Esq. Joseph Bennett, Esq. Thomas Jlorrin, Esq. E. Mitchelaon, Esq., M.11.R. James Walmsley, Eaq. Bankers : Tho Bank of New Zealand. Solicitors : Messrs Jackson and Russell Acting Secretary : Mr Robt. Rose. Tho objects of tho Now Zealand Stud and Pedigree Stock Company (Limited) aro the breeding and rearing of puro Cattle, Clydes dale Horses and Shvep, and disposing of same by sale or othcrwiso in Now Zealand, tho Australian Colonies, San Francisco, and else where. In order to carry out these objects tho Company has purchased from the Auckland Agricultural Company (Limited), the following Properties now used by them for stock-breeding purposes, viz., (a) Cranston, Waikato, 8801! acres, (b) Tamaki, No, 1 Farm, The Chase, and Butlcy Manor, 752 acres, together with their celebrated Pure-bred Short horn and Hereford Herd, Clydesdale Horses, Lincoln and Leicester Sheep. 2. And from Messrs T. and S. Morrin their Stud Farm at Mcariowbank, Remnora, consist ing of 21!Hacre3, 2 roods, 5 perches, and tho Leasehold Estate of 91 acres adjoining, together with their valuable Pedigree Shorthorn Herd. 3. And from the Auckland Stud Company (Limited) thoir Stud Farm, known as Sylvia Park, containing 322 acres, together with their stock of Thoroughbred and Clydesdale Horses. i. And from Messrs. E. and R. Maclean their Farm, known as Greenhill, at tho Tamaki, con taining 140 acres. To farmers and dealers in cattle it is well known that Pure-bred stock aro moro easily fattened, come to maturity earlier, produce better beef, and realise higher prices than tho ordinary class of stock. This fact, which is so significant to breeders and dealers in cattle, has of late years induced a constant and activo de mand for pure-bred Btock In England, America, and the Australasian Colonies. In view of this demandforpure-bredcattle, and thelargo and in creasing area of land which is annually taken up for grazing purposss all over Now Zealand, and the vast quantity of cattle required to stock tho same, the Directors see at once a ready market at good prices for their stock, and they believe the Company will bo able to pay early and con tinuous dividends from their ordinary opera tions in tho Bale of stock, without relying upon any profit from the increased value of lanaed property, which is horeafter reforred to. The Directors confidently anticipato that tho Frozen Meat Trade cannot fail to open a prac tically unlimited market for New Zealand beef and mutton, and will give to Btock-grazino; interests in New Zealand an impetus wbicii must ultimately tend to the great advantage of this Company. The whole of the Pedigree Herds before men tioned, the Clydesdale Horses and Shoep aro well-known; and consist of first-class imported stock (judiciously solected by the best judges, without regard to cost), and their progeny. Wherever exhibited they have received tho highest prizes. The celebrated Shorthorn Bull " Duke of Newcastle," the property of the Auck land Agricultural Company, was awarded First and Champion Prize at the Intercolonial Exhibition at Sydney for the bost bull of any breed for which tho whole of tho Australasian Colonies competed with imported and Colonial bulls. This bull and many of his progeny aro among the herds proposed to be purchased. The Heref ords are deserving of special mention. Five hundred and forty-flvo in number, they form the largest herd of pnro Herefords in the world—their progeny have always met a, ready and remunerative sale. . The Thoroughbred Horses of the Auckland Stud Company (now forming part of this com pany's property) are well known throughout the colonies and in Great Britain. No such Btud exists in the Australasian colonies. Hitherto the Stud Company's operations have been highly successful and profitable. Under more favour able circumstances, and with more extended operations, even greater and better resulta may reasonably be anticipated. The land purchased by the Company for carry iDg on their operations consists of well-selected and suitable stations, where tho breeding of pure cattle has for many years past been suc cessfully conducted. These properties have also been selected with a view to their futura increase in value, and from this source alone the Directors anticipate the Company -will de rive considerable profit. Eleven hundred and forty acres of tho land acquired arc so near to the City of Auckland aa to entitlo them now to bo classed as Suburban Lands, and they must speedily advance in valuo with the rapid development of the city. The value of tho Freehold, Leasehold, and Stock has been fixed by Messrs Alfred Buckle ni and Wm. Aitken, at the sum of £223,453 4s 6d Tho Directors, attor the valuation was fixed, induced the Vendors to make tho important concession of leaving one half of the purchase money secured upon the property at five per cent. Being thoroughly satisfied with tho ob jects of the undertaking, the Vendors have re served, to themselves nearly one half of tho shares in the Company upon equal terms with the shareß now offered to the public. Forms of Application for Shares and further I particulars may be had on reference to tho Solicitors of the Company, or to. j ;,■ , ROBERT ROSE, .«_.-'■'«.. - i . ~ Acting Secretary.
