JUDGE LYHCH.-At wedding in Sa-
mel Valley, Mendocino county, William
Grangrene was standing on box by a
window, calling for the dancers. A pis-
tol was fred from the outside through the
glass, and the unfortunate man fell dead,
shot through the brain. Suspicion fell
on native Californian named Ygarra,
who was arrested, and while the exam
ination was being conducted before JUS
tice of the peace, a band of armed men
took forcible possession of the accused
and hanged him on an oal, tree. Gran
creme had recently given evidence a
gainst several parties who had been in
dicted, Ygarra being one of these. A
tragedy almost exactly similar to this
Mendocino one, was chronicled about the
same time, (Dec. 2Oth), in Arizona.

VICE PRESIDENT WILSON OF Gypsy
BLOOD. There is a romance connected
with the ancestry of Henry Wilson
which Las not yet been given to the pub-
lic, but which would be interesting read
ing were all the facts told. 1t is stated
by those who know best that the Col
baths were gipsies, two tribes of which
remarkable people settled in Shafford,
New Hampshire, early in the century.
From these gipses have descended few
of the best and many Of the worst people
known in the annals of the Eastern States.
The facts are known to many New Eng
landers, but it is probable that the ro-
nance has not been given in at all its
details because of the pain that would
be caused to many families. But it is no
dis, redit to the late Vice President that
he came from such humble stock; indeed
IL is greatly TO his credit that, d. spite the
iron fortune which envel ped him in
early life, he should have achieved such
n high position, and finally passed away
amid general regret.-Grolohfc.

TRANSFER PICTURES. - The decorations on
carriages, buggies, sleighs, furniture, boxes
etc., and other painted surfaces, often show
the most delicate artistic skill, and the ques-
tion arises, how are such views and ornaments
placed there without great expense? Inc
cheapest articles are frequently covered with
bits of landscape or floral decorations that
could not be painted by hand without increas-
ing the value of the articles. The secret ls'
these paintings are transferred to the articles
adorned by a process called " Decalcomanie." |"
When the method was first discovered hlgh
prices were charged for the transfer pictures,
and also for teaching the art so that few could
afford to purchase. Hecently, however deal
ers have reduced the rates so that now these
pictures can be obtained at comparatively low
cost j. l.. Patten * Co., 1872 William street,
New York, are large dealers in these goods
For the small sum OF ten cents they will send
complete instructions with catalogue and ten
specimen pictures, to any one who wishes to
learn this beautiful art.

PACIFIC whalemen have made an inter
esting discovery this season. A few years
ago they reached the whaling ground in
August only to be obliged to leave in
September. The past year they tarried
until October, and might have delayed
longer, SO far as peril from the ice pack
was concerned. They went to within so
miles of the mouth of Mckenzie river,
where sailing vessels have never been
before, and say that steamer, aided by
the currents, might have gone through to
Baffin's Bay without difficulty, and thus
solve the mystery of the Northwest pas
sage. This remarkable atmospheric
change is unaccountable.
