A Sentimental Hangman.—The Universal, a weekly illustrated journal, says:—The first pfttbe Sansons, the grandfather of that dynasty ofexeeutioners ■which has reigned for so many years in Pins, •was really a man of good birth; his name was Sanson de Longal, and he was an officer in tlie army. ..He one day fell in love with a young girl, the daughter of the executioner of Buen, married her, and.succeeded to his father-in-law. What a subject for a drama that incident would furnish, with such a title as " The Young Nobleman, or t^e Executioner through JLove." -..-■■
