STARTLING OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES IN A La
DY's DREss.-The London Court Journal
says:
"a. lady who had returned from India
three years ago, was the other day opening q
drawer in what is termed bullock trunk.
To her amazement and horror snake rear
ed up its head; her first impulse was to push
the drawer to, but it was stiff and heavy
She ran screaming. down stairs for help
Her brother, who was In the drawing-room,
went to her assistance aud preceded her
again up stairs. The snake was not to be
seen, and the gentleman thought it must
have been his sisters imagination; so, after
some little time, the search was given up
The following morning, canary that al
ways hung in the lady's room was missing,
and in looking into the cage, the snake lay
curled up at the bottom of it, and all that
remained of the bird by his side. There
was no difficulty in destroying the snake,
and it was discovered to be what is termed a
green snake whose nature it is to make a
spring at the eye, when death Immediately
ensues The marvel is how the reptile lived
so long and the lady escaped"

was sitting by her side at the family tea ia
BILE on late evening, when. during the
course of rather jovial conversation, the
mother of the lady turned upon him with the
smiling question. "When are you and NJ
going to get married." The gentleman
responded, with an appearance of great AS
tonishment, that he had never entertained
any such intention, and proceeded to joke
upon the idea. The young lady immediate
ly arose without word, and went into a
room adjoining. from whence she shortly
returned, with bottle ofyitriol in her hand,
and without syllable or gesture OF warn,

her lover, shockingly dis6guring its features,
instantly destroying the sight of one eye, and
injuring its fellow hopelessly.

ORIGIN OFLYNCu LAW.


All of our readers have heard OF Lynch
Law, but all of them may not be acquainted
with the origin of the term. The following
account of il is taken from the "Hlstoricai
Collections of Virginia" by Henry Hone:
Col Charles Lynch, a brother Of the iSun-
der of Lynehburg, Va, was an oincer OF the
American Revolution. His residence was
ON the Staupton, in the southwestern part
of this tCampbell) county, now the seat OF
his grandson, Charles Henry Lynch, esq
Atthat time this country was very thlnly
settled. and infested by a lawless band OF
territorial desperadoes. The necessity OF the
case involved desperate measures, aad Col.
Lynch, then u leading Wing, appzehended
and had them punished without anyyIperfu-
Gus legal ceremony. Hence the oris n OF the
term Lynch Law" This practice of lynch
ing, continued for years alter the war, andwas
applied to many cases of mere suspicion OF
guilt, which could not be regularly proven.
I'm 1892" says Wirt's Life of Henry, there
were many suits on the South side Of James
River, for inficting Lynch Law"
At the battle of Guilford Court House, a
regiment of rifemen, raised in this part OF
the State, under the command of Col. Lynch,
behaved with much gallantry. The Colo
mel died soon after the close OF the war
Charles Lynch, Governor Of Mississippi,
was his son.

nouucement that he would not live twenty
four hours under Lincolu's administration, he
has remained quiet a fact that has caused a
report to be circulated that he is insane
Now, however he appears again in a long
list of grievances whicl be calls "The

to have gathered up all the individual cases

and charge each upon Gov, Wise, we should
have a list as long as his term Of Office.
