Mill connects the idea of death on the scaffold with that of the honorable holding of life cheap when duty calls upon us to peril it. Men will not be more or less ready to sacrifice their lives in a good cause, because they shrink from sending murderers who have been convicted by fallible human process to an irrevocable doom, the infliction of which is a Divine prerogative. The "Daily News" allows that it might be unfair to urge that the secondary position which Mr Mill assigns to death among human evils reduces murder to a comparatively low rank in the scale of human offences;, but his estimate of the superior importance of the things which make life valuable over mere existence deprived of these things, would certainly justify the infliction of death for certain classes of offences now punished more miidlj. His argument goes beyond his conclusion. There is j ! little room for doubt that the feeling j I which refuses to tolerate public execu- j ' tions will soon prohibit any executions at j all. What the eye cannot endure the mind will not long bear with. Auction Sales and Notices. FIRST-CLASS HACKS.
