Judge Lynch in Texas.

A correspondent, writing from
Georgetown, Texas, May p, to the
Austin Statesman, gives the following:
Yesterday morning at half-past l
O'Clock, au armed force Of men, num-
boring lo3, entered the town from tile
east of Bolton, Bell County, in dis
guise, and proceeded at once to the
County Jail. They were halted by
the Deputy Sheriff, Maj. S. E. Wilker-
son, and guard of five citizens, who
were informed that it was useless fer
them TO resist, as they were determined
in their designs. After a little par
leying, the guard surrendered, and was
placed under sentinels. The Deputy
Sheriff was permitted to remove his
wife and child from the upper story,
when they proceeded to break open the
Jail, and shot down and killed nine
prisoners. The Jail contained eleven
prisoners two OF them were confined
il separate cell from the murdered
men, and one of them was designedly
LETT, and the presence OF the other un
known. The reason assigned for this
act was the superstition that the friends
of the prisoners contemplated Jail
delivery. Below | give the names of
the murdered prisoners W. L. Cole

TWO
AMERICAN MAGAZINES

The excel lence of American Magazines
one Of the leading English Papers, the Lon
don Weekly Register, in a recent issue,
thus speaks of Scrbners Monthly.
1--WE are constrained two own that Serb
ners Monthly carries off the prize against
all our shilling monthly serials for brillancy
of illustrations and variety of contents.
1t is simply a wonderful shilling's work b.
Nothing can be more charming than the
cuts-full Of force and vgor; the light and
shade are managed with a truly artsric
power. Out of its one and twenty original
articles we really do not know which to
choose as best, for each and all are excel
lent"
Not only is it true that Scribner's Month
ly excels the English Magazines, but it is
"The best of the American Monthiies."
In the extent, variety ard artistic excel
lence of its illustration of American themes
it.has pever been even approached much
less excelled. 1t has larger page and gives
greater variety in its contents than any
other of the standard American Monthlies.
In literary character, and in the brilIian-
cy and ability of its Editorial Departments
it enjoys an equal pre-eminence
Its conductors started with the definite
aim Of making it the best magazine in the
world, OF which they have never for mo-
plent lost sight, and they point with pride
and pleasure to the May and June numbers
recently issued and ask for them candid
examination and careful comparison of
their merits with those of other magazines
and they renew their pledge to the public to
strive for still highe: excellence in the future
considerable demand has|recently arisen
in England for ST. Nicholas, Scribners new
magazine for boys and girls, one publisher
desiring to secure an edition of three thous-
and of the first bound volume when COM
pleteI) with his imprint.
The success of St. Nicholas in this country
has been even more more remarkable than
that of Scribner's Monthly. Ii is pronouuc-
ed to be ian ideally perfect magazine for
children and, as is the case with all the
best literature for children, it has been found
to possess surprising interest for grown up
readers, as well.
The influence Of the periodicals of the
day can scarcely be estimated especially
upon the rising generation. Parents and
teachers cannot afford to be Indifferent to
this influence, or careless in relation to the
character Of the literature furnished to the
children outside of their school lessons. In
ST. Nicholas not only are History, Natural
Philosopher, Literature, Fine arts and man.
ufactures presented IAN attractive way to
young readers, but the children are stimu-
lated to seek information for themselves.
The publishers will send to any address a
specimen number of ST. Nicholas, postage
prepaid, on receipt of yten cents, the bare
cost of paper and printing. Tie magazines
are sold by all first class booksellers and
newsdealels everywhere.
