JUDGE LYNCH OPERATES Says the
Kansas City Bulletin of the I'd: We
learn from Marshal Speors that the
citizens of Kansas have taken mp the
matter Of clearing the country Of the
numerous gangs IF horse thieves infest-
ing the border towns and counties. Their
first haul was made few miles south
west of Westport, on Tuesday night. Two
notorious outlaws whose presence had
been forbidden this city by the enforce
ment of the vagrant law, were caught
near shawneetown, and in a few minutes
were hanging dangling in the air, with
this significant legend pinned upon their
breasts: g Horse thieves" Their names
are given as Kennedy and Morton. The
former has been boarded by the city for
some time as vagrant. They belonged
to regular organized gang infesting
this vicinity, and whose headquarters is
said to be at Shawnee and Wyandotte.
They seal horses here and sell them at
Leavenworth and Atchison, and bring
stolen property from those counties down
here. A few such cases as this will have
good effect upon the border. 1t soon
makes peace"

"UNDIsPRlyACIED."- -" Undisprivacied"
What word! It's the newest thing out,
IN Boston. Mr. Lowell has, with great
labor and sweat, with the atlantic Month
" for fulcrum, and a very long poem,
entitled "The Cathedral"-lucuso non
for lever, pried it off from the banks of
the Charles River, and dropped it, with a
polysyllable crash, into the tide of the
language. Undisprivacied?' It means
easy enough-the opposite of undis-
DUPLICATED, and it is made by process of
accretion, simple as congelation. The
foundation of the word-the basis Of this
four-story pollyable with French roof
is privacy" You take that word to
start with-go at it with club and knock
off the end ofit-punch it into the shape
of an active verb-freeze on the PRIMITIVE
prefix DIS, and upon that tack the mega
tive uaa-see ?-just as easy as falling off
log. After all, what's the use of having
all these component constituents and sim
pie words, unless once in while you can
put them together, Boston fashion-and
make regular old parallelopiped of a
word, that you can't take to pieces with
out nitro glycerine Here's this I'm
disprvacied," for instance What tri-
umph of verbal architecture that isl The
only objection to it is that if it should
happen to drop down into the tropics it's
liable to thaw and break ali 10 pieces.

An amusing story is told by a sailor
who, in recent combat, had the luck to
capture q Prussian subaltern. On the
road to Paris the latter asked his captor,
who had been eating him numerically
on the length of time the Prussians took
to reduce the city. How do you fare
in your capital 2" How do we fare
why, first.rate' was the reply. Then
your oxen are not yet exhausted, as we
imagined they were ?" "Oxen T! oh they
have been eaten long since y You have
large flocks of sheep, them" " No indeed
they disappeared simultaneously with the
bullocks" "Ah! understand; you
have still your horses to fall back on?'
/" wish we had; we devoured them long
since" "What the devil do you eat,
then?" was the astonished inquiry.
:, What do we eat?" replie6tthe sailor,
with the greatest gravity in the world !;
+" have you not heard in your camp?'
]" Mo- Why, we eat our prisoners, of
course, and find them delicious. The
young Prussian turned pale at the thought
and did not venture another remark till
his arrival at his destination. s

SLEEP AS A MEDIcINE.-The cry for
rest has always been louder than the crv
for food not that it is more important
but it is often harder to get. The best
rest comes from sound Sleep. O: two
men or women, otherwise equal, the one
who sleeps the best will be the most NOR
al, healthy and efficient. Sleep will do
much to cure iIritabllity OF. temper, peev-
lshness, and uneasiness. 1t will restore
to Vlgor the oVer-worked brain; it will
build up and make strong a weary body;
it VIII relieve the languor and prostra-
ton felt by comsumptives; it will cure
hYpochondrla; it will cure the headache
it will cure the heartache; it will cure
neuralgia it will cure broken spirit;
it will cure sorrow Indeed, we might
make long list Of nervous maladies that
sleep will cure. The cure of sleepIess-
ness requires clean, good bed, sufficient
exercise to produce weariness, pleasant
occupation, good air, and not too warm
room, freedom from too much care,a clean
stomach, clear consience, and avoidance
of stimulants and narcotics. For those
who are overworked, haggard and ner.
yous, who pass sleepless nights, we COM
mend the adoption Of sue habits as shall
secure sleep; otherwise lite will be short,
and what there is Of it sadly imperfect.

THE LOWEST TYPE OF HUMANITY
The following extract is from an article
on "Barbarism and Civilization" In the
14ttnntic Monthly:
On the Island Of Borneo there has been
found certain race of wild creatures, oil
which kindred varieties have been dis
covered in the Philippine Islands, in Terra
del Fuego, and in South America. They
walk usually, almost erect on two legs
and In that attitude measure about four
feet in hight. They are dark, wrinkled
and hairy They construct no habitation,
form no families, scarcely associate to-
gether, sleep in caves or trees, feed on
snakes and vermln, on ants eggs, on mice
and on each other They cannot be tam.
ed or forced to any labor, and are hunted
and shot among the trees like the great
gorilla, of which they are stunted copy.
When they arc captured alive, one finds
with surprise that their uncouth iabber-
ing sounds like articulate language.
They turn up human faces to gaze at
their captor, and females show instints of
modesty; and in fine, these wretched
beings are men. 48sl aa

A LUCKY DATE.-The number q
seems to be fortunate one for the Ger
man armies On the 9th of September
Strasburg capitulated. On the 9th OF
November the Germans achieved i'm
portant victories over the army OF the
Lore and the Caribaldian forces in the
Department of the Vdsges On the 9th
of December commenced the lombard
ment of Mont Akron, the first of the
Partisan forts assailed, and which soon
yielded to the enemy. And now comes
the Intelligence that on the 9th OF
January the terms of the capitalization OF
Paris were agreed upon. Ii, now after
three weeks armistice which have been
arranged, the treaty Of pace should be
concluded on the 9th of FEBRUARY, as if
not improbable, the chain would be com
plete. Verify, if this was a superstitious
age, the Germans might be expected to
commence all their important enterprises
on the 9th of the month The concid-
eitce is, to say the least, remarkable and
noteworthy. Jeai - t7ia

Brayely as they have borne up against
il, the siege of Paris must have carried a
deal Of suffering to the plucky citizens.
During the period that the Pruss iaI s
were firing there -shellsinto the beleaglel-
ed town, 189 people fell victims to the
attack. OF these there were 81 killed,
l9we.e children and II wonlen. OF the
1873 wounded, 81 are children and ~ are
women. One of the saddest features oft
all is, that it would appear that the
Prussian fire has been almost invariable
directed towards those buildings. over
which floats the white fiag with the red
cross such as hospitals, schoo's,c hurchesr
and public buildings. For the sake of
hum4nity If. is to be hoped that this has
been accidental but the French insist

A SCENE NOT ON THE BILLs.-W Vile
one of the closing scenes of the opera OF
The Huguenots was enacting at the
Boston Theatre the other night and
while the mpurnful trio,in which Valen
tin, Raoul and Marcel take part, was
sung, cat appeared and ran across in
front of the stage. This so frightened a
lady in one of the private boxes that she
.drrpped her opera glass out upon the
back of one Of the members of the or
.chestra, who was in turn equally aston
ished and confused, but happily not in
jurcd. This unlocked for incident
turned the scene on the stage to anything
except what Mayerbeer intended, and
the audience laughed Heartily, the
wounded and dying Marcel joining in
the demonstration Poor Grimaikin
disappeared somewhere in the orchestra.

ONIONS. MANY complain that Onions
do not keep. The trouble is in keeping
them too warm. The onion is bulb, a
plant at rest, and the least warmth starts
1T into activity. 1t is much better that
onions should remain frozen through the
winter, pro,i ted they can thaw gradua1ly,
than TO put them in cellar or other
warm place where their vegetative pew
ers Will be aroused If put in large
piles onions will be sure to spoil; but il
spread In thin layers and covered with
hay and straw, SO that if frozen the
thawlng may be gradual, they will keep
well through the winter. 1t is the Gus
tom with onion-growers to get their crop
to market as soon as possible IF they
were to- provide proper storage, they
would realize much more for them wien

MEDICINES AND DRUGS There is thune
der all around the sky against the mis-
use of drugs. In several States, the Leg
islatures are considering bills for the
regulation of druggists, and providing
for the examination of those who set up
to dispense medicines in a pharmacy.
There is room for reformation here, and
need of restriction that will tend to en-
sure greater care and SAFETY Life is oft
en- periled by mistakes or carelessness,
and the error is so liable to be fatal that
the importance of guarding against it
cannot be too deeply impressed on the
mind. But while the druggists are look
ed after, another bill proposes to look
after the patent medicines that are 50
largely delt in. The bill,requires that
all packages shall bear the names of the
ingredients of which they are composed,
and the diseases which they offer to cure,
Commissioners are to disappointed to cx-
anime and analyze all patent medicines,
and the certificate given by them is to
-be placed on each package. The Com
.missioners have authority, also, to pro
.hibit the sale of medicines which they
deem deleterious to the consumer. This
bill has already brought down an ava
lanch of letters from the makers Of pa
tent medicines, much to the consterna-
ton Of the committee charged with its
consideration. Any measure of security
will be welcome to the people, and the
bursting of the bubble of many of these
remedies, and the exposure OF the hum
bug on which their pretentious claims
are based, will save multitude of throats
and stomachs from unnecessary or harm

Mr.. I'll. s. Osgood publishes in the Kennebec
Journal she following statement respecting the
note alleged to have been negotiated at the
First National Bank of Augusta in 1868 by
Mr.. Blaine for political purposes:
Owing to the very large number of meetings
that were held in this city in 1868, the can.
palgn was an expensive one. The large mass
convention that was held here Sept 3D. of that
year entailed very heavy cost; particularly in
connection with extra railroad trains, parade
of Tanner clubs, torch light professions, trans
parencies, banners, &c. Other meetings also
involved considerable expense of the same
character.
1t was several weeks after the election was
over before the bills were all collected and as
the money had OF course to be paid a note was
made, signed by myself and endorsed by the
following gentlemen, viz James G. Blaine.
Lot M. Morrill,, John L. Stevens, James A
Blcknell, and A. b. Farwell The note was
for S1360 80, and carried it myself to the First
National bank and procured its discount there
on the 18th of November, 1868. and 1 attended
to the subsequent renew walls OF the same.
There was not dollar of the money used to
buy votes, or for any other purpose than the.
usual and legitimate expenses OF a political
campaign. attended with mass meetings and
demonstrations. Having dsbursed every do
