Judge 1ynch's Work.

The two negro assassins, Ben
Evans and Eph. Hall, who waylaid
and murdered Mr.. George Sheen
berger, a butcher OF Huntsville,
Ala, together with one Mike White,
a mean white rival of Mr.. S., who
instigated and hired the negroes to
do the deed, were taken from the
Huntsville Jail last Wednesday about
2 o'clock and all hung to the same
tree. The negroes confessed the
crime from first to last, and charged
White with having persuaded them
to do 1t. The reason tor killing
Shoenberger was that White and
these negroes had been stealing cat
tie, and Shoenberger had collected
the proof of their guilt. There
were many of the most respectable
citizens standing in the crowd of
thousands who witnessed the lynch
ing. Life is getting to be so cheap
with assassins and murderers that
public opinion sanctions and sus
tains the lynchers in such cases as
this. 1t is a sad commentary upon
our civilization, but it is true. There
is no doubt but that the assassins
richly deserved the fate which befel
them, but we still maintain that
lynch law is no remedy for any
evil" 1t is the COLOSSUS, the very
giant of public calamitles, and is
growing more defiant and powerful
and tyranical every day. 1t stalks
abroad in open day with uncovered
front and performs the most hide
Gus crimes in the name of justice,
for which there is no restraint save
public opinion, and alas, public
opinion is itself demoralized, and
winks at crime. Unquestionably
there ARE needed reforms in our
criminal laws, but there is not a de
ficiency in them which justifies red
handed outlawry in defiance of all
law, as well as of morals, and reli-
gion, and refinement and civilization.

PerilOuS Adventure.

The captain y. a whaler gives the fol-
lowing account of an adventure which
came very near being his last. In giving
an account of the accident and singular
escape, he said that as soon as he dis
covered that the line had caught in the
bow of the boat, stopped to clear it, anu
attempted to throw it out from the chock
so that it might run free. In doing this,
ne was eau 5ht by a turn round his left
wrist, and himself dragged overboardss lie
VS. perfectly conscious while be was rush
ing down with unknown force and swift
ness, and it appeared to him that his arm
would be- torG from his body, so great was
the resistance of the water. He was wei
aware of his perilous condition, and that
as onIy chance OF lie was to cut the line.
But he could not remove his right arnl
from his side, to which it was pressed by
The force Of the element through which II

yes, it appeared as though a stream Of
fire was passing before them, but as he
descended il grew dark, and lie felt a ter
rible pressure on his brain, and a roaring
of thunder in his ears. Yet he was con
scious of his situation, and made sever
efforts to reach his knife that was in his
belt. At last he felt his strength filling
and his brain reeling; the line for an in
stant slackene6; he reached his knife, and
instantly that the line became again taut
It's edge was upon it, AID, by desperate
effort Of his exhausted energies, he freed
himself After this he only remembered
a feeling Of sufocation, a gursling spasm,
and all was over, until he awoke to an ago

Prairie. We followed the stream leading
out of this valley until we discovered some
wagon tracks which appeared to Cross 70"
stream, and we then telt even more salts
fed than we were on the Bitter Root.
This stream was very high and Jack Men
denhall loaned his roam horse to one q
the party to swim the stream and search
for the wagon tracks on the other side.
The tracks were found leading towards
another stream, now called the Big Hole.
We should probably have attempted to
cross the stream at once had not the man
who swan over to find the road come yer,
near drowning on his return, owing o-the
! sw;ftness of the current. We then con
cluded to 60 further down until we
had either found a safer place fot crossing
or timber to make raft. On the fourth
day we camped near point OF rocks on
the Jefferson river and our provisions
having run low we killed one Of Aenden-
halls oxen and RECALLED ourselves with
baked OK head, cooked in hole filled with
hot boulders and covered with earth. Al
this place we discovered that we were on
+ba head waters Of the Missouri. The river
was not taking the right course to SUIT US
and we concluded to cross, which we did
after considerable trouble but without
serious mishap. From the point OF cross
ing we travelled up Whitehall Deer creek
and over to the Boulder. At the latter
nlace we found large herds Of Elk, and
Bostwick's unerring rife soon brought
down q fine fat buck which we drieI upon
the granite rocks within mile of what is
now called the town of Boulder.
There was apparently good trail lead
inc IN on the north side of the Boulder
which we had almost decided upon fol,
lowing, but were deferred by the rough
anpearance Of the mountains IN the DIS
tance and we followed an Indian tr il
instead which led US to the valley after
wards named Prickley Pear. Before
reaching this point we discovered, one
afternoon, mounted Indian who was
as fast as the nature of the conn-
try would permit and evidently trying to
conceal himself by falling on his horses
neck. This made us more cautious than
usual but the next day, while Bostwick
and I 1ore travelling alone, but within
sight Of rest of the party, we were sud
lenly startled BY Indian yells and the re-
ports Of fire arms.

A Complicated Case.

The interminable Princess de Beauffrc--
mont case IS up aga n before the Paris
courts. The Princess, Belgi.n, married
French officer, BY whom she had two
children. He and she quarreled; she sued
for separation, but failed to obtain it,
her pleas being dismissed as frivolous.
She had fallen in love with Prince George
Bibesco, a Roumanian, and 10 marry him
went to Germany, became naturalized,
got divorce under German law, and was
married. This made her a bigamist
uudpr French law, and her husband sued
to attach her property in France, SO as to
make her give up the children. The civil
courts ordered her to come into court with
her children, and as she couldn't without
being liable to arrest OH criminal process,
fined her 1000 francs day till she should
purge herself Of contempt. When the
Prince proceeded against the estate, be
found himself hampered by the f.ct that
she was Belgian by birth and German
by adoption, with German divorce from
her French husband; and when he tried
his luck in Germany she was discovered to
be in Roumania, where there is no earthly
way Of serving the process OF the French
court on her, AMI the local tribunals will
take no cognizance whatever Of this ex-
tremely interesting, but very complicated
case. And now even the lawyers are in
despair.

According to the British Journ u Of

which is not finely polished, unless it be
purposely painted before hand in q special
manner-that is, with turpertine 4atting
"a light color Of slate being the tone
most advisable, as its Photographic value
can be seen at a glance, without lie
chance Of miscalculation which green or
a brown, for instance, might offer. This,
says the journal, is matter whose useful
ness cannot be too highly appreciated
for the contrast between machine, no
matter how excellently photographed,

the same subject with coating OF the aat-
ting, will be 50 great that no one who has

1 German Iickyick.

Germany has Pickwick indeed, without
guile. The story is told by the Schweizer-
ische Dorfkalender. The antiquarian
stood betorea stable door in rapt delight,
contemplating stone fixed in the arch
way, which bore the inscri ption "l08l."
Calling the tenant farmer, he said "Am
not right, my friend, in supposing that
you procured this stone from the castle
ruin on the hill yonder?' ut may be-
replied the owner, 'that my grandfather
fetched it when he built the stable" The
professor asked what he would take for
the stone. Since you seem to have a
fancy tor it" said the farmer, ''pay mt
down forty guldens and | will leave 1t at
your house. That is rather large sum, Z
said the professor; never mind; bring it
10 me tomorrow morning, and you shall
nave the forty guldens.n
On the next morning, when the peasant
brought the stone upon the truck, the
Jealous antiquarian eagerly turned it over
to refresh his eyes with a sight OF its chro-
aologieal inscription. Why cried he,
"a anazement, what is this This is not
The right stone. Yesterday | read the
dute lO5l, while this bears the date 1901,
which proves that the other Was exactly

Professor must not trouble himself about
that small matter, replied the boor. You
see, sir, the masons turned the stone up
slde-doWn when they setit in the doorway,
because it fitted that way. You can turn
it whichever way you like now it is your
