THE AGE OF FRAUD.

1.-THE age of fraud is upon us"
says the New York Post. This Is the
age of fraud, or false pretenses, of
cheating and lying and stealing.
This is the real golden age, and the
age Of iron is apparently destined to
give place to it, as that of bronze
gave place to iron, and flint to bronze.
The old-fashioned methods by means
of which men raised families in
honor and content, are out of date.
A new method has been inaugurated
with "the shout Of a host" as it
were. Here and there are drop
pings of the coming shower, by
means of which fraud shall saturate
the parched fields of industry,
and reap a golden harvest of grain
without the risk of toll. Ohio has
been, perhaps, the most signally
favored section of the country in
this respect. 1t is in the track of
the deluge Of fraud, and can boast
of seventeen County Clerks at the
same time each one Of whom is a
heavy defaulter. Other States have
had single defaulters; or perhaps
q trio or quarter would give prom
ise of better times to come; but
Ohio, with its President and patron
age, with its interest in the visiting
statesmen and the McVeigh commits
sion, has been the most distinctly
favored section of all. Seventeen
County Clerks are heavy defaulters.
The ingenuity which distinguishes
the dishonest pursuit of gain is only
equaled by the applause which mark
ed success obtains. Society receives
as special pets those whose bank ac-
count is swollen by "clever opera
tons" and "smart transactions" and
turns up it's nose in disgust at the
man who is 60 vulgar as to be
truthful and honest. Only let the
steal be big enough and society re-
ceives the thief with open arms.
The petty thief is low rascal, but
even he is tolerated, for somebody
must be found to black the boots.
The lower rails on the social ladder
must be occupied, and, in an age Of
fraud, of course the more despicable
rascals are to be found there. Here,
on this coast, fraud has entered, and,
continues to enter, into almost every
transaction and undertaking. 1t is
rampant in public Office, and struts
about in fine raiment among the po-
tentialities of the day. And, worst
features of all, rs we have already
intimated, it is condoned by society,
aud in measure, also, by the courts.
Compromising felony is the rule of
action in such cases. The one crime
is condoned by the commission of
another; but what cognizance do
criminal courts take of these mat
ters2 None. Crime is triumphant.
This 10 the age of fraud and men APP.
pear determined 10 live up to its
ethical condition.

Like Cures Like.

The late Alexandra Grailhe, whose
remairs were brought to New Orleans
from Europe on the steamship Nurem
berg, had a singular and rather unplea-
SAINT experience on the field of honor in
his younger days. Like all adventu-
rous young Frenchmen, forty years ago
he could not avoid involvement in some
of those numerous personal Affairs
which were then so frequent between
Frenchmen and fiery young CreOles.
With two very prominent and gallant
gentlemen of the latter race, Mr..
Grailhe became engaged in controver-
sizes which led to meetings on the field
of honor.
In the first instance the duel was
fought with swords, and the unfor-
tunate Frenchman was run through the
body, and not only suffered greatly
from his wound, but exhibited for
years afterward the effect of the injury
in certain inclination OF his body,
which was not natural, owing to an
dbcSCSo ACSdithhS hiOhA bhS
wound. Some time after he engaged
in his second rencontre, in which he
received the bullet of his adversary
right through the body. Strange to
say, the beneficent missile passed
through the former wound, opening the
abscess which threatened the estimable
gentleman's life, and By inflicting a
new, severe and painful wound, not
only cured him, but had the effect of
Strengthening his person to a rigid and
exact perpendicularity, so that his car
riage appeared unnaturally stiff and
naughty.
Quite simila- experience of the ef-
fects of wounds is related by DIR. Guth-
rie in his celebrated work on gunshOt
wounds, of that distinguished British
chieftsin who received his death wound
on the plains of Chalmette ia the memo
rable battle of the Sth of January, 1915.
We refer to Lieutenant-Gene Sir Ed
ward Packenham. In the attack by
the British at the close of the last GEN.
tury on the French Notifications on the
island Of Martinique, Colonel Packen-
lam, who led the storming party, re-
ceived a musket ball which passed
through his neck. He recovered from
the wound, but was for some years
afterwards very marked by it, bearing
his head with a strong inclination to
one side of his body.
Seven or eight years subsequently,
Packenham was the second man to as
cend the ladders which had been estab-
lished against the walls os Badajos, in
Spain, in the brilliant assault of the
British on that fortified town, and was
again shot in the neck. the ball entering
on the opposite side to that of his old
wound, and passed apparently through
the same track. On recovering, his
neck was brought into its original erect
and natural position.

\ great deal of superstition prevails,
even at the present day, in connection
with dreams, and we cannot hope to re-
move it until 4 scientific explanation is
forthcoming. Whole volumes might be
written descriptive of the phenomena
of dreaming, and the facts would be so
varied and OF so contradictory charac-
ter that we should be no nearer con-
clusion.
The accepted hypothesis is that sleep
is simply condition of unconscious
ness in which there are zones of oblivi-
business ranging from simple drowsi-
ness to complete abstraction. There is
no proof that dreams occur during
sound sleep, but, on the contrary, there
are many reasons for concluding that
they begin in the state of slight slum-
Der, when some of the faculties are, IL
may be, in full work. At the same
time, there are many indications dream
ing is not impossible in the soundest
sleep; but possibly the most startling
phenomenon is the fact that dreams are
generally retrospective.
The popular explanation of dream
is that the sleeper has been reused TO a
state of semi-consciousnessb by some ex-
ternal impression, such as noise. Thus
one may experience a vivid conception
of series of events leading up to the
report of pistol, and yet, so far as we
know, the report of the pistol may be
the last link of the chain-the exciting
cause of the dream. If this be so, we
are compelled to believe that dreams are
either retrospective or instantaneous
we must assume that the ''sleeper" has
apprehended scenes antecedent TO the
report of the pistol, which, indeed,
forms the last link in connected chain
of events, or we must conclude that the
dream has passed through the mind as
a picture or panorama before the eyes
at the same time as the report aroused
he dreamer.
1t is probably unusual for all the per-
ceptive faculties to lie dormant at the
same time, and there is little doubt that
the majority of dreams that haunt Our
semi conscious moments are produced
by external causes. The sensory
nerves, for instance, are generally re-
sponsive to excitations from without
and the pictures viewed by the mind
as it were in a flash, may have been es-
tablished in moments of consciousness
The study of the phenomena, how.
ever, shows that dreams are based eth.
er on thoughts that have occurred in
moments of consciousness, arranged, II
may be, in very unexpected manner
or are the products of morbid menta
or nervous state, and in the latter cast
are symptoms which should not be neg
lected by the physician. Dreams, o
course, sometimes "come true" and il
those cases it is very difficult to shak'
the belief of the subject; but it is obvi
Gus that if a man dreams frequently
, and sees in mental vision those scene
he has previously depicted when awake
some of them will in all probability
} occur. 1t would, therefore, be absur'
to be alarmed, or regard with supersti
tious dread the possible occurrence o
events that may never happen, or tina
/ may have been clearly foreseen in mo
ments of consciousness.

Origin ofLynch Law

In Campbell county, Va, on the
Roanoke River (then called Staunton
River, during the Revolutionary War,
when there were some Tories of obnoX-
ious character still remaining in the
country not reachable by any statutory
law, Col. Charles Lynch, supported by
Capt. Robert Adams, his brother-in-
law, both farming on adjoining planta-
tions, and - Galloway, determin-
ing to rid the country of such danger
Gus enemies, seized on different occa-
sions three of the worst men, tied them
to tree and flogged them so severely
as to prompt an unceremonious depart
IRE from the State, as they were order
ed. This sort of procedure on the part
of Lynch and his friends, proving so ac-
ceptable in Campbell county, was quick
ly followed in other counties, where
loyalty to King George sometimes pro-
voked summary punishment. and it
was called Lynch law and has been
to this day.
lut sndbCli VI SUI vi
is still repeated in that neighborhood ::
.'Hzzah for Capt. Bob. Col Lynch and Galloway.
Never let Tory res. I'LL he cries cut Liberty"
John Lynch, the brother of Charles
Lynch, was the founder of Lynchburg
only few of their descendants are now
living-none in Notwithstanding the
family name, so far as is known, the
last of the males, Charles Henry Lynch,
and his brother, John Pleasant, having
died in Campbell county since the war
of secession; their sister, Mrs. Dearing,
and her daughter, Mrs. Faunt lie Roy,
now occupy the old homestead, where
still remains the stump of the walnut
tree to which three tories were tied and
whipped-life was never taken.
Webster, in his unabridged Diction-
ary, says of "Lynch law" that it was
the .'practice of Furnishing men for
crimes or ofIenses by private, unauthor-
lied persons, without legal trial. The
term is said to be derived from Vir-
ginia farmer named Lynch who thus
ook the law into his own hands,"

Auction sale of Collins.

Auctioneer Dixon, Of Milwaukee,
was happy mortal when an under
takers stock was sold on execution and
he was engaged as auctioneer.
The stock was large, but his wealth
of resources was larger, and the long
faced, solemn-limned countenances of
the handlers of coffins and pals were
soon as radiant with smiles as five
year-old in his first pair of boots.
"How much am | bid for these name
plates? Can be sold for double the price
to serve as insignia of office And these
silvered nail-heads could be converted
into buttons. How much am bid for
the lOt?"
"Now here's fine rosewood case,
medallion cover, swell top, ample
enough for any man or woman in the
county. An ornament to any ones
store, gentlemen, and when you die you
will find that a plain pine case will cost
you more,"

self last week and was asked s120 for

self and family, is more than l can com
prehend."
An hours talk in this vein ended In
"goue to Mr.. lander for So"
A fine black cloth casket with silver
holdings was knocked down TO the same
bidder for SIS.
Tne silent agents of the city of the
dead were as yociferous as a crowd at
mock-auction, and Dixon secured fair
prices.
The creditors were joyful that they
were so wei rid of the lot. Twas old
stock, surely, but the purchasers deemed
it the best of merchandise. They would
never be bored for donations to fairs,
since no one could be persuaded to pur-
chase a ticket, no matter how attractive
the post-mortem furniture may be. The
cut aud fit of the overcOat wonld never
be criticized by the wearers, and there
were other features that commended
themselves to the sad-eyed buyers.

Camp Life of Russian Army Officers


The life of the Russ.an officer, as
ave been able to observe here, away
from the glitter of parades and the ex-
citement of battles; is occupied chiefly
by routine duty, tea drinking, smoking
and card and billiard playing, proper
tionately in the order named. The
duty seems hard and tedious, but to
some Americans it would seem harder
to drink five or six large tumblers of
tea three or four times day. The
dentchiks'' (officials) do nothing but
attend to the making Of tea and their
masters pipes all day. Every tine the
officer returns to his quarters tea must
be prepared and the long-stemmed pipes
ready TO light, not only for himself, but
for any number of guests he may bring
with him. The tobacco used is always
CT Turkish brands, or at least sold as
such. The Ukraine is tobacco
producing province, but the leaf
cannot be enjoyed by anybody be-
side the Ukraine people, with their
horse-constitutions. 1t would be the
height of imprudence for any body with
weak lungs to ride in a smoking car in
this region, even for half day, for fear
Of sutfocation, and corpse exposed to
the action of the smoke of Ukraine
tobacco would be converted into a
mummy in twenty-four hours.
