obtained my first view of the great Mis-
sissippi and Of the practical working of Lynch
law at the same time. The night of our adj
vent at Cairo was Lit up by the fires OF an ex-
eeution. A negro, it seems, was the owner
or lessee of an old wharf boat, which had
been moored to the levee of that town, and
which he had turned to the uses of gam
bling saloon. People who had been entic ed
INTO 1t had never been seen or heard of alter
wards. The vigilance committee, then gov
ernng Cairo, had frequently endeavored to
lay hold OF the negro and bring him TO trial:
put ne had secret passages from one end OF
the wharf boat to the other, by which he all
ways eluded his pursuers. Having no doubt
that he was guilty of several murders, the
uagstdntes, on the night of our arrival, had
come down to the leyee, two or three hun
dred strong, armed, equipped and determined
10 make the wretch surrender. In answer to
their summons they received nothing but in
suits from the negro, still out of sight and Sc
cure in one of his hiding places At given
signal the wharf boat was set afire and cut
adrlft, and as 1t fioated out into the current.
the uigttGntes surrounded it in small boats.
with their rifles ready and pointed to prevent
the escape of their victim. When the
wharf-boat was well into the stream
the negro appeared boldly at the place
which, in the middle of all river craft
VI o1dt hluu, lS leIt open for the
reception and discharge of freight. And now
scene occurred, so sensationallv dramatic.
SO easily adaptable to the stage of these lat.
ter days, that would not dare to relate it for
truth If had not witnessed it with INV own
eyes. The negro was not discovered till he
had rolled a large keg of powder into the mid
ole oftbe open space Just mentioned. AS he
STOOD IN the light of his burning craft, it could
pc seen by the people in the small boats In
the river that he had cooked musket with
the muzzle plunged into the keg of powder.
Then the negro dared them to come on and
take him, pouring upon them at the same
time such horrible oaths and curses as hs-,a
rarely come from the lips OF man. The s,, .sT
boats kept proper distance now, tbe; Sa, n.'
pants caring only to prevent his sor . 49, 80

around him, there .sshe nero steod fioat;n eo
uo%n into the darkness. that enyeloped the
the river, with tlis cooked musket still in
keg OF powder, and cursing and defying
MS executioners. He was game to the last.
we heard the, explosion down the stream,
ana saw the wharf boat sink. The next day
SPOKE with the leader of the band in the
small Doats-a short, wiry little man, with a
piercing eye. He said that he had net the
heart 70 shoot the "nigger,n because he show
ed such pluck. He even confessed that for
the same reason, he felt almost sorry for the
victim, after the explosion had blown him in
to eternity.-Atlantic for july. -
