Narrow Escape from Lynching

The three men charged with terribly out
raging Miss Bond at Taylorsville, ILL.,, hay
ing on their preliminary examination been
held for trial a mob broke into the Jail Fri
day night and took the prisoners out for the
purpose of hanging them. A few of the mob
got into the Jail once, but were faint hearted
and retreated Again they started, and the
mob found Montgomery and Pettis crouch
ing in a corner at the north end of the hall.
Montgomery was first seized by two big men,
who shook their fists in his face, as they
dragged him by the coat collar from his hid
ing place. The poor fellows face was white
with fear and his eyes were red and fearful.
He did not beg for his life, but said: "Gen-
tlemen, you are going to punish an inno-
cent man. SCOTS and oaths were his only
answer. They said: John Montgomery,
you are going to die, and ifyou've got any
thing to say, say it mighty quick Put
this rope around his neck" was suggested;
but the rope was not yet ready. Pettis was
dragged out into the open space as rudely as
Montgomery had been. He cried some and
repeated almost the same words made use
fly Montgomery in asserting that he was
innocent. Ropes were put about their
necks and they were hauled up and soon
lowered, both asscrvating their innocence.
The crowd became about equally divided
regarding the guilt or innocence Of the men,
and they were returned to the jail

HOW HE MADE 1T.

One sweltering day in hot July
A beer saloon he wandered by;
And finding that he was not seen,
He entered at the swinging screen;
And to rebuke the drinking men,
Whom he observed around him then,
He ordered as he knew he'd oughter
A glass ofpure, clear crystal water.
He set it down. "Ah, ha!' said he,
'Cold water is the drink for me!!'
And so, to make it cold and nice,
He pounded in little ice.
Healthful and good, sliced very thin,
He dropped = little lemon in.
And then he said 'Sweets to the sweet!'
And stirred some sugar in the treat.
To kind of brace the mixture up
He dashed some bitters in the cup;
Then just lee-tle whiskey-well,
Say twenty lines of nonpareil;"
And while he stirred it with spoon,
He sang, in gleeful tones, the tune:
"Water, cold water, pure and free
Water is the drink for mel"
He raised his head; loud, loud he laughed
And to the dregs the goblet quatted.

New Public Buildings

Representative Shallenberger of Pennsyl-
vania, chairman of the house committee on
public buildings and grounds, has furnished
congress and the country with a very in
teresting statement as to the extent and char
acter of legislation during the late session.
He says the passage of the Fort Wayne bill
during the closing hours of the session is
probably the end of legislation Of this char
acter for this congress. Provision was made
for the construction Of thirty-tkree public
buildings in different parts of the country.
When completed These buildings will cost
the government s., 775,O 600 The immediate
appropriations made for the purchase OF
sites and beginning the work of building
amount in the aggregate to s2,732Ooo. In
addition to this, $3,624, 600 were appropri-
ated for continuing work on buildings al
ready begun. The construction of thirty
six buildings was authorized by previous
congresses and is in progress.

FOSTERING THE PASTOR.

One of the Martyrdoms Of Popular
Metropolitan Clergymen.
From the New York Sun.
"Pious bores are an insuterable nui-
sance," said the sexton of all uptown
fashionable church. "There is one fel-
low who has been boring this church for
a year until at last l was compelled to
threaten him with arrest. He would
come at the busiest time on Sunday
morning and insist upon being shown
to the best seat. could not put him OF.
If I did not give. him the seat he would
follow me up the aisle and cody walk in
after another party.
1T was not 50 much the seat as his
conduct in it that made him objection
able. He would be ofticiously polite to
the occupants, in handing books, or find
ing hymns. lie would find
out the names of the pewholders and
bore them with conversation. He would
there under pretence of interest in the
church work. He would way]ay the
minister and monopolize his time after
service, to the exclusion of members Of
the church whose only opportunity to
see the pastor might be in those few
moments.
zone day our pastor, who is an ex-
ceedingly courteous man, was vexed.
The bore darted at him after morning
service and insisted upon a talk.
"'Excuse me-" saidithe pastor, II am
not now at leisure"
"'But have some important thoughts
to talk over with you," continued the
bore.
"I beg your pardon, but you must
come some other time"
"My thoughts are very pressing"
persisted the bore, as he was again re-
bufed in the pastors blandest style.
But still he persevered, until even that
amiabie clergyman calculated, eff you
do not get out l will call for the police.
Clergymen are very often martyrs to
this sort of persecution. Being nom
combatants, they are expected to sub
NIT without resistance. There is
hardly "a a clergyman oa IN New New
has not some special bore in his congre-
cation who almost worries his life out
him. rockingham had one who used to
get chair and sit agape close to the
plaCIOT1n, anu a1tef SERVICE rush " pun
Frothing hams hand out of his pocket to
shake it, Deems had one who came so
often that the minister was convinced
that the man wanted to steal his books.
tsBut it is old ladies who distress pop
ular young ministers most in this way.
frequently they have little else to do.
They poster the pastor in his study, in
the church, the Yestry, the doorway and
the street. until life becomes a burden
to him, and yet he dares not protect
himself lest he should be accused of lack
of interest in his work. The poor par
so IS cannot, like ordinary folk, say they
are not at home when they are. They
cannot be harsh or abrupt, but have
simply to bear it as best they can. OF
all the Affections of clergyman the most
offensive is the pious bore.

The Work of an Earthquake.
From Galegnani's.

On the 18th and 18th of last month,
siena, Italy, was visite by series of
alarming earthquake shocks. The SOL
diers were all turned out of the barracks,
and the people rushed out of the houses
on to the Liza for safety. The houses
rocked; the plaster came tumbling down
the chimneys. The shocks were repeat
ed, some strong, some weak, throughout
the day at intervals of a quarter to half
an hour. The bells were rung; the
thrice-holy Madonna del Vuoto was un-
covered &C Some of the nobility, afraid of
their own houses, had their carriages
dragged on to the Liza and slept there
in the open air. Att in the morning
there came shock as strong and terri
tying as if mine had been sprung I'M
der the city: After that the force Of the
conclusion decreased. As to the causes
OF the phenomenon. there can be no
doubt, q correspondent asserts, that it
was owing to the municipality having
just put up two tablets to Garabaldi.
