LYNCH LAWN IowA-SHocKINe
CASE OF BRUTALITY.-The Des Moines
Register of the oath October says: A
young man who had been living in this
town in the employ of a liveryman on
Walnut street, and whose mother lives in
Eddyville, got on the eastern bound
coach at Rising Sun on Monday evening
last. When the coach reached Pella,
one of the passengers discovered that his
pocket had been picked, and that he had
lost all his money, amounting to $500.
From some cause or other suspicion was
fastened on the young man from Des
Moines. lie was arrested and searched,
but as no money was found on his per-
son, except the pitiful sum of four dollars
and five cents, he was dismissed, and
went on his way to Eddyville. Shortly
after bis departure several persons in
Pella expressed their conviction that be
was a thief, notwithstanding his apparent
innocence. He was sent for, and brought
back 10 Pella. He was perfectly submis-
sive, and seemed TO manifest no great
indignation at the violence with which he
was treated. 1t was determined to lynch
him. Men, TO the number of forty, sur
rounded him, seized him, encircled his
neck with a rope, suspended him. and
kept him hanging for much longer time
than the purposes even of ordinary lyech-
ing required. He was at length taken
down, and fell limp and lifeless to the
floor. 1t was believed that he was as
suming, and he was questioned, and
even kicked, but he showed no signs of
life. A bystander finally placed finger
IN his wrist, and no pulse was percep,i-
)le. Then there was a general scare. |
A doctor was summoned, who announced
us opinion that the mans spine was
eriously injured. The nextTmornirg at
o'clock, when we last heard from him
lie was lying in the same insensible con-
iition in which he was found when the
ope was taken from bis neck.

POETRY IN UNDREss.-An English
paper, which rejoices in the name of
Ladies' Own" thus plays tricks with
rhyme and reason -" 1t is many years
since ! fell in love with Jane Jerusha
Skeggs, the handsomest country girl by
far that ever went on legs. By meadow,
creek, and wood, and dell, so often did
we walk, and the moonlight smiled on
her melting lips, and the night winds
learned our talk. Jane Jerusha was all
TO me, for my heart was young and true,
and loved with a double ard twisted
love, and love that was honest too. /
roamed all over the neighbor's farms,
and ! robbed the wildwood bowers, and
tore my trowsers and scratched my
hands 10 search Of choicest flowers. In
my joyous love brought all these to my
Jerusha Jane but | wouldn't be so
foolish now, if l were a boy again. A
city chap then came along, all dressed
up in fine clothes, with shiny hnt and
shiny vest, and a mustache under his
nose. lie talked to her of singing
schools (for her father owned farm,)
and she left me, the country love, and
took the new chaps arm. And all that
night never slept, nor could I eat next
day, for | loved that girl with fervent
love that nought could drive away. |
strove to win her back to me, but it was
all in vain; the city chap with the hairy
lip married Jerusha Jane. And my
poor heart was sick and sore until the
thought struck me, that just as good fsh
still remained as ever was caught in ihe
yea. So | went to the Methodist
Church one night, and saw dark brown
,url peeping from under gypsy hat, and
married that very girl. And many
'ears have passed and gone, and think
ny loss my gain; and I often bless that
lairy chap that stole Jerusha jane"

SALT MINEs.-The salt mines of Ca
COW were discovered IN 1851. The
length of the mines from east to west is
above six thousand feet; the breadth
from north TO south above two thousand,
and they are eight hundred feet in depth.
When stranger wishes to visit these
mines he is habited in a suit of Miners
clothes and let down by machinery a
perpendicular descent of six hundred
feet. The place is very dark, and the
miner, who descends as a guide, strikes
light and conducts the stranger forward
through several gloomy winding pas
sages, at the end of which they descend
by ladders two hundred feet lower into
large cavern; through this cavern they
enter upon an open plain, peopled by
the miners and their families, together
with their horses, dogs, and other
domestic animals. Nothing can exceed
the brilliancy Of this place illuminated
by thousands of lamps refecting their
light upon the beautiful and transparent
surface of the salt in every varied color.

Boatman boatman my brain is wild
As wild as the rainy seas
My poor little child, my sweet little child,
Is a corpse upon my knees.
No holy choir to sing so low
No priest TO kneel in prayer,
No tire-woman to help me sew
A cap for his golden hair.
Dropping his oars in the rainy sea,
The pious boatman cried,
Not without Him who is life to thee,
Could the little child have died.
His grace the same, and the same His power
Demanding our love and trust,
Whether He makes of the dust a flower,
Or changes a flower to dust
On the land and the water, all in all
The strength to be still or pray.
To blight the leaves in their time to fall.
Or light up the hills in May.

A friend just returned from New York
tells US the following pretty good story
OF an Illinoisan who was stopping at the
same hotel. On Sunday the Western
man, being desirous Of hearing several of
the more famous pulpit orators of the
metropolis, went in the morning TO Dr.
Chapin's church, but heard stranger
preach from the text: "But Simon's
wife's mother lay sick of a fever" In
the afternoon he went TO Beecher's Plym.
outh Church, and heard the same dis
course from the same preacher. Going
in the evening to DIR. Osgood's church,
he found the same preacher and the
same theme "Simon's wife's mother
lay sick of fever" The next day the
patient hearer of the thrice told discourse
was crossing to Brooklyn in a ferry boat,
when the alarm bell in the Park agitated
the air with its great shocks of sound,
a rnan behind him inquired why that bell
was tolling. Looking up, he saw the now
familiar face of the preacher, and was
prompt to reply, 81 think Simon's wife's
mother must be dead 1 heard three
times yesterday that she was sick of fe-
ver."
