Special to the Herald
Fort Worth, Feb. 2S.-In response to a
call in the city papers over the signature of
"Many Citizens" about three hundred men
met in the courthouse tonight at o'clock,
for the purpose of ending the earthly exist
ence of Isham Capps. No one could be
found to assume the responsibility of the
call, or explain the object of the meeting, and
confusion prevailed for while, when Mayor
Beckham came forward and made concili-
atory speech, advising against violence and
for due course of law. After few extra
VACANT speeches, the Mayors advice was
needed, and the meeting adjourned. Th
lynch law feeling, however, is very strong,
and many predict that it will DO resorted to
in the case of the negro ravishers when they
are brought out of Jail for preliminary ex-
animation.

or a clod of earth disable it, but such is
its maligniiy that it will invite attack
by every device at its command, stalk
ing its own life on the mere chance of
its advasary coming within the little
circle of its power. At most the radius
of this circle Is 10 inches, but within it,
at any point lies certain death, aud on
the bare hope of hand or foot trespas-
sing within its reach, the echis throws
its body into a figure of eight coil, and
attracting attention by rubbing its
loops together, which from the rough
ness of the scales-hence the epithet
odriRdtG-makes rustling, kissing
sound, erects its head and awaits at
tack. No one having once encountered
this terrible worm can ever forget its
trEculent aspect when th1s aroused, its
eager aggressive air, its restless coils,
which are in constant motion one over
the other, and are rustling omniously
all the while, stealthily but surely
bringing it nearer aud nearer To the
object of its fury the eye malignant
even beyond those Of ether vipers, and
then the incOnteivgble Tapidity Of its
stroke. For the echis does not want to
strike until within striking distance,
but vents its malice in repeatedly dart
ing mt nothing, hoping perhaps to ag-
grayate its antagonist into coming To
closer quarters, uI .aOre probably as "a
mere expression Of its own uncontrolla-
ble viciousness.

A Suggestive Legend.

There is terrible legend of Grim
Tartary, concerning a very massive
and imposing edifce, which is also
very ancient. 1t is so vast and i'm
pressive that travellers are profoundly
affected, especially those who come
from countries where certain num-
Der of persons are annually DESTROYED
by burning theatres and falling build
Ings. One such traveller was gazing
with admiration upon the edifice, in
company with his Majesty the King of
the country, and he could not restrain
himself from saying:
SO King, what is the secret of the
wonderful strength of this building,
that it has neither tumbled down nor
been burned up?"
But his Majesty the King of the
country was very coy, and forbore to
answer. Being pressed more closely.
however, at length he answered. so

after much entreaty, his pertinacitv

An 18 Inch Death.
THE MOST MALIGNANT AND DEADLY
CREATURE IN THE WORLD.
[London Telegraph !

lLOnuOu 1elegfapnl
A recent arrival at the geological So
ciety's gardens in Regents park de-
serves special notice, apart from the
fact that it is the first of its species
known to have been brought to Eng
land. 1t is snake called the echis car
inatd, about foot and half long, and
dingy gray. Yet, although in appear
ance neither interesting nor formidable
it is the deadliest of created things.
This detestable little worm, which
looking at it the spectator might make
bold to say he could initiate very pas
SADLY in cork and putty, is nevertheless
one OF the miracles and masterpieces of
nature, for it is death itself, and carries
in its tiny head the secret of DESTROYING
life with the sudden rapidity of light
ming and the concentrated agony of all
poisons. The echis comes to us from
India, where it is tolerably common,
being found in nearly every part of the
peninsula and feared wherever found
as the incarnation of instant and terri
BILE destruction. Fortunately however
for man it is not like the cobra and the
korait, house frequenting snake; for
its tiny size would give it a terrible ad-
vantage over human beings who live
crowded together, as the natives of In
dia do, in small darkened rooms, while
its aggressive habits would make it in
finitely more fatal to life than its dread
ed relatives. For this king of the asps.
this modern basilisk, is not only venom,
Gus beyond conception, but is actively
offensive. 1t does not turn to escape
from man as the cobra will, or fash

conscious perhaps of its deadiness, de-

CosT OF DRNKING.-Three drinks a
day are S109.50per annum. Three cigars
day are S109.50 more, and yet we
hear of many poor woman complain
ing that she cannot afford to take ice
during the hot season whose husbands
indulge regularly in their liquors and
cigars. The $2l9 expended in this way
would pay the ice, gas and fuel bills
for the whole family, and allow mar
gin for shoes and bonnets or hats be-
sides. Would it it not be well to make
the exchange for year, and see which
affords the most happiness d? Try it, old
fellow.

LOOK OUT FOR THE ELECToRs.-The
Democratic Congress will count the
Electoral vote, and will count it in ac-
cordance with some rule like that in
troduced by Senator Morgan. They
will throw out Republican Electors
upon the slightest preteXt. is, there
fore, the duty of Republicans to make
sure that no valid objection can be
raised against any candidate whom
they select for that position. The dis
qualifications set forth by the Consti-
tuition of the United States are plain.
1t provides that "nO Senator or Repre-
sentative, or persons holding an Office
of trust or profit under the United
States, shall be appointed an Elector."

STARVING OUT TIE MARsHALs.
fay rELKonApn TO THE rnIBUSE.l

TRLEGRAPH THE ihibOhb.l
WAsuIxGToN. March 1.-The House Committee
ON Appropriations agreed this morning to add the
appropriation for marshals fees to the Immediate
Deficiency bill.
The section making the appropriation contains
the words "ior fees Of marshals and their general
deputies" This is intended 10 and will exclude
special deputy marshals from receiving any foes for
their services. This cuts OFF all election marshals
who served in California at the September cleo
tions.
The Republican members Of the Appropriations
Committee unanimously voted against the section
on account Of the clause above quoted. MI His
cock 1t is understood, moved to insert the word
"specialr but that was voted down. He then
moved 10 strike out the word general" SO that the
ciause would read " marshals aud their deputies"
THIS was also voted down.
II appears. therefore, that the Democratic men,
bers Of the Appropriations Committee have deter
niped to adhere to their policy Of starving out the
