a New Way To PAY OLD DEBTS A
proposition has recently been made that the
national debt can row be paid off by the
imposition ofan annual tax $50 on generals "
$40 ON ''colonels," and S5 on "majors."
There is no doubt of this. Tho enormous
revenue that would accrue from such q
source would in 4 very short time wipe out
tho entire debt. After this it could be aps
piled to tho settlement of the labor problem,
rs the fund would be sufficient to mako
hand dsome distribution per capita for the
whole country. 1t is wonder that General
Butler and Mr.. Kearney have not thought
of this before. 1t would be no use to i'm
pose tax on any title below the rank of
major, for Captain Vance, the appoint.
ment clerk of the Treasury Department.,
says that so far as he can discover he is tho
only "captain" left, either of the Union or
Confederate armies This is sad, but in lieu
OF captains" tax might be paid on
Judges" Even in the present dull times
there are not less than 1000 "judses" in
Washington alone, and the "gcncrals" and
"colonels" are simply countless. Many Of

LAPS AT PIC-NICs.-The lap is unqucs-
tionably most useful and admirable organ.
When expanded, the lap will admirably
hold fifteen quarts of chestnuts, peaches, ap-
pies or other desirable fruit, and there have
been women whose laps would hold the en-
tire supply of hair pins required for their
back hair-though, of course, laps of these
enormous dimensions are somewhat rare. 1t
is, however, at picnics and tea parties that
the splendid capabilities of the female lap
are especially displayed. 1t is an easy mat.
ter for a lady, while engaged on picnic
to hold plate of salad, another of picked
oysters, third Of ice cream and fourth of
cake, together with cup of coffee, ON hnr
lap at one and tho same time. In fcats Of
this kind the female lap is unique. The
young man who tries to hold food on his
knees invariably CONES to grief. The ut
most he can hope 10 do is to balance for q
brief period plate of salad on the ridge of
his legs, from which it sooner or later slips,
with the most painful consequences. AS
for holding a tea-cup or coffee-cup on his
knees, he recognizes the impossiblity of the
thing. His only resource is to deposit it on
the floor, or on the grass close by his side, af-
ter which he usually steps on it, or at least
kicks it over. This indicates in the clear
est manner that man is not pic-nickirg an
imal. Without laps, pic-nics are danger
there is no way in which art can remedy
the masculine deficiency of lap. Let wo-
men go to pic MICS ic they choose. They can
do SO without violence to their clothing;
but man is trying in the face of nature
when he undertakes to sit on the grass and
to manage six different kinds of food. 1t
is true, that pic-nics consisting of women
alone would not be popular. Young men
are needed both to eat the legs of chickens
and to go mile and half in the sun to
bring water for tho lemonade.-M. y

RIDDLEp WITH BULLETS IN HIS CELL ,

~
A vigilance committee, composed offron,
sixty to 100 men, each armed to the teeth,
took possession of Versailles, Iud,,sn Mon.
day night, and compelled all the inkabi-
tants to keep off tho streets whres ith
Jail in which Tom Boyd who assaulted Miss |
Stevens last spring, was c.nhned.
The Jail room occupied by him and by |
two other prisoners committed Tor iarceny
Is about sixteen feet square. 1t is low and
dingy, and is enclosed by stone wall eigh-
teen inches or two feet thick. As Boyd
was aroused, he sprang to the middle OF the
room entirely naked. Wien the first blow
was struck on the door, ho exclaimed,
"What do you want ?"
'We want Tom Boyd" was the response.
Then said Boyd, pretending to recognize
a mans voice from Moore's Hill: :;s.ss.s
"Stone King, what do you wantof me!
Thereby was: "We will show you In
minute" =.
Boyd then tried to stop their entrance with
piece of timber braced against the door,
but, frightened away or thinking himself
unequal to the task, he again went to the
middle of the room, and there he squared
himself for n 6uht~wth his fists II Utqfft1
not go TOR naught, even in an unequal con-
test with powder and ball
While this scene was in PROCESS some
one from the outside was heard to say,
"Shoot." The answer from the man at the
door was. II can't yet" Then in an in
slant latter they were inside. "Put down your
hands" muttcred one of the blackentd d Wig
ilants. Boyd complied with the order, and
then the fusilade was begun. The first shot
took effect under his right arm and whirled
his form slightly, offering his left breast as
a better target. A revolver was put SO near
to this mark that in the discharge the skin of
the victim was badly powder marked Two
shots followed the first in quick succession,
and two more balls entered Boyd, one im-
low the left nipple. lie still continued to
whirl, finally bringing up against the stone
wall, his blood squirting from every wound.
Here he gradually sank upon his hands and
knees, and here his maddend assailants fol-
lowed, continuing to fire. On his hands
and knees, with two balls through his heart
and unable to gasp cry for mercy, he was
still target for tho avengers. Two moro
balls lodged in his head, and still another
and another entered his body, until fifteen
bullet holes told of the uncrrng aim of the
marksmcn, who stood only an arms length
away.
Five minutes were, perhaps, consumed
in gaining an entrance to the Jail in five
minutes more the object of the vigilants'
mission was accomplished. Boyd was
dead. In thirty minutes. after entering
Versailles all the visilants wero gone
