Three Expressive Words,

It is curious thing remarks the Pail
Mall Gazette, that three of the most ex-
pressive words in the English language
should have been added to it, if not by
Irishmen, at least by men belonging by
residence or descent to the west of of Ire
land. "To Burke" "to Lynch, " and
" to Boycott have all taken their places,
if not exactly in classical literature, at
least in the vernacular of English speak
ing races all over the world. There is
little dispute as to the identity of the
Mr.. Burke whose name became syno-
nym for murder as to that of Capt. Boy
colt, but there lis some doubt as to who
was the original Mr.. Lynch. There have
been several Lynches remarkable for
taking the law into their own hands. A
Virginian farmer of that name who
hogged thief with his own hands has
probably no claim to the honor ascribed
to him by doubtful tradition. The
claims of Judge Lynch, who was sent
out to suppress piracy in America in
1878, are more substantial; but the
genuine aboriginal Lynch is said to
have been mayor of Galway at the close
of the fifteenth century, and to have
made his name famous by hanging his
son with his own hands out of an upper
window, in execution of death sentence
passed upon him for robbery and muir

A Brave Girl,

Simon Girty was the wickedest white
man of the early period of the history
of the Ohio valley. In 1777 Fort Henry,
which was situated on the Ohio river,
near Wheeling, and garrisoned by forty
two men, was suddenly attacked by
Girty with force of 500 Indians. He
succeeded in ambuscading and slaugh-
tering thirty of the garrisons leaving but
twelve to defend the fort. Among the
women was young Elizabeth Zane,
beautiful girl of seventeen. The twelve
soldiers, commanded by Col. Shepherd.
were good marksmen, and, knowing that
surrender meant death for their wives
and children, as well as for themselves,
they resolved to fight to the last. It was
not long before the small stock of pow
der in the fort was almost exhausted.
In despair the colonel called his brave
little band together, and told them that
at a house some sixty yards outside the
to approach, there was key of gunpow-
der. Whoever should try to bring it
into the fort would be in peril of his
life from the Indians. He called for
volunteers, and three or four men re-
sponded, but only one could be spared.
While they were generously disputing
among themselves for the perilous er-
rand, Elizabeth Zane approached the
colonel and beggedthat she might be al
lowed to go for the powder Her re-
quest was promptly refused, but she
persisted, and it was finally agreed that
she should make the first trial. When
all was ready the gate opened and Eliza
beth walked rapidly across the open
space toward the house where the pow
der was stored. Those in the fort could
plainly see that the eyes of the Indians
were upon her, but either from curlos-
ity or mercy they allowed her to pass
safely and to enter the house. Her
friends drew breath of relief, and
watching even more anxiously for her
appearance, saw her come out soon,
bearing the powder in tablecloth, tied
around her waist. By this time the In
dams suspected her burden, and in
moment more, as she was Fastening to-
ward the fort, they sent after her a
shower of bullets and arrows. They all,
however. whistled by her harmless. and
she sped ON with her treasure, through
the deadly missiles, until at last she
bore it in triumph inside the gate. By
The aid of the powder and enthusiastic
courage which Elizabeth's self-sacrifce
inspired, the little garrison was enabled
to hold out until relief came to them.
And SO the noble act of young girl
saved the lives OF all within the fort, and
vanqulshed it's 200 dusky assailants.
The Zane family became well known in
so11thern Ohio and gave their name tn
the beautiful city of GAINESVILLE.
