A HUNDRED LAsHEs is a forfeiture
which can be taken with more pre-
cision than Shylock's pound of flesh.
A negro living near Warrenton, Ga,
recently asked white neighbor to
lend him some money The capital
ist declined, on the ground that there
was no chance of his getting it back.
The applicant voluntarily offered to
pay the penalty of hundred lashes
if he failed to meet his obligation at
the appointed time. The money was
not repaid, and on Monday a week
the creditor proceeded to take the
debt out of the negro's hide. When
he had got fifty dollars worth, White
told Black that he could go on the
farm and work out the remainder,
but the latter insisted that the debt
should be cancelled with the lash,
according to the bond, and it was
done"

Three or four citizens of st. Elmo,
ILL.,, have visited Rande, the St. Louis
desperate, but did not wholly identify
bin as the man who killed two citizens OF
that place last summer. There is plen-
ty Of evidence, however, to prove that
he is the right man. In an interview
he told reporter be believed in the
equal distribution of property, and had
attempted to do some Of the distributing
himself; that he had robbed fifty seven
houses during the past summer and had
collected together about a thousand
dollars worth Of the property, which he
intended to take to a town on the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad
where he expected to spend the winter
luxuriou,ly.

How to Throw Ten Cents Away.

1t is surprising how few people there
are who ear throw with accuracy at a
mark, even at close range, and it is
more surprising how few people there
are who know this fact. The average
man or boy will laugh at you If you
tell him he cannot stand thirty feet
off and hit an object presenting a sur
face of a foot square, and will be will
ing to bet his boots that he can do it
nearly every time; but he would lose
the boots. In recognition of this pre-
valent over-confidence, some %enterpris-
ing sharp has set up a catch-penny
affair on the street which is yielding
him a handsome profit. A board screen
has a place about a foot square cut in
its centre, which is illuminated a a
target, and the %conceited public are
permitted to stand thirty feet off and
whack away at the centre piece with q
base ball at the rate Of ten cents for
three throws. To hit the centre piece
once in three times is to win a cigar.
To hit it twice in three times is to win
a cigar and q chrome of the gaudiest
pattern. To hit it three times in sue
cession is to win a cigar, a chrome and
fifty cents. 1t was good as a play yes
terday to watch the passers-by taking
in their ten-cent surprises. [St. Louis

our day such barbarous cruelty can beper-

poor student vas guilty of, and which
he so magnanimously owned? The
writer says: The victim was thrown
fat on his face and his legs bent up, so
that the soles of his feet were horizon

by a long staff and chain. At first the
blows were moderately dealt, then they
were laid on more roughly, and every
stroke felt like the application of a red.
