The True Version Of Lynch Law.

James Fitzstephen Lynch was war
der of Galway, in 1893. and is said
to have hanged his son from the win
dows OF Lynch castle. At that time
a considerable trade was done be
tween Spain and Galway. which dis
trict still bears marks Of this connec-
ton in its architecture which some
what resembles that Of Cadiz and
Malaga. Lynch sent his son to
Spain for n cargo Of wine, aud to
bring back a Spanish friend on a
visit. Young Lynch squandered the
money intrusted to him, obtained the
wine on credit and murdered his
guest on his passage home. The
truth, however, came out owing TO the
confession of a dying sailor, and the
father, acting the part Of Brutus,
condemned his son TO death. Owing
10 the strong muster Of his wifes rel
atives outside the castle on the day
Of execution, the father feared a res
cue. 50 be determined to take the
law into his own hands, and hanged
the youth from an arcbed window

Carlyle's Biography.

LONDON, Oct lo.-Ihe tniru hno
concluding volume Of Mr. James A
Froude's biography Of Thoma.
Carlyle" has just been published, and
is likely TO prove the literary sensa'
ton of the present season. 1t embra
ces the period from 1884 to tho death
of Carlyle in February, 1881, and ID
accompanied by a preface, in which
Mr.. Froude elaborately vindicates his
conduct as Carlyle's literary executor
The volume is crammed with hitherto
unpublished criticisms OF public men,
many Of whom are still living.
The Tories are gloating over Gar.
lyle's description of Gladstone az
zone of the contemptiblest men he
ever saw. "We is," said Carlyle,
"but poor ntualist. He is almost
spectral kind of phantasm of
man. There is nothing in him but
forms and ceremonies and outside
wrappages."
On the other hand. the Liberals
say that Mr.. Froude's work presents
the character Of his revered master
in On even less enviable light than
before, and that Mr.. Froude should
be called hereafter, not Mr.. Carlyle's
literary executor, but his literary
executioner.
In the preface to this volume
Froude defends the revelations OF
the inner life of Carlyle con-
tanned therein, and says that
reticence upon that subject would
have implied that there was some
thing to hide from the public. Mr..
Froade says: "Taking Carlyle
altogether, there never was man
whose conduct throughout his life
could better fearthe fercest light. He
had no sins Of youth to apologize for,
and in the grave matters pertaining
to the law he walked for eighty-five
years unblemished by single spot,
never deviating from the strictest
line of integrity. Although more
than once he was within sight OF
starvation, he never did less than the
best. He never wrote an idle word,
nor a sentence that he did not believe
was true. He had frailties and
impatiences, but he had no dishonest
or impure thoughts. He lived life
of single-minded effort to do right
The diary Of Carlyle, which is prin-
ted with this volume, narrates an
interview he had with Queen Victoria,
saying that the Queen was very
gracious, pretty in her demeanor
throughout, rose greatlyin his esteem,
and she did not fail in any point.
At the end of his memories there
is letter from Disraeli in which the
latter offers to Carlyle baronetcy
and the Grand Cross of Bath, and
mentions that Tennyson had been
offered baronetcy. Carlyle refused
both of the honors in o courteous
reply.

Wendell Phillips on Temperance.

Energetic as Mr. Phillips was in
the abolition cause, he found time
to strike heavy blows for temperance.
His Grafton on the metropolitan Po
lice is powerful argument in favor
of Legislative prevention of intemper
ance. An extract is appended
"Some men look upon this temper
ance cause as whining bigotry, mar
row asceticism, or a vulgar senti-
mentality, fit for little minds. On
the contrary, I regard it as second
only to one OF to others of the prim-
ary reforms of the age, and for this
important reason: Every race has
it's peculiar temptation, every cline
has it's specific sin. The tropics and
tropical races are tempted to to one
form of sensuality, the colder and
temperate region and our Saxon
blood, find their peculiar temptation
in the stimulus of drink and food
In old times our heaven was drunk
en- revel We relieve ourselves from
the WEAKNESS of constant and exhaus
tive toll by intoxication. Science has
broughta cheap means of drunkenness
within the reach of every individual
National prosperity and free institu-
tions have put into the hands of al
most every workman the means oil
being drunk for week on the labor
of two or three hours. With that
blood and that temptation. we have
adopted democratic institutions
where the law has no sanction but the
purpose and virtue of the masses.
The statute book rests not on bayo
nets as in Europe, but on the hearts
of the people. A drunken people car
never be the basis of free govern
ment. 1t is the cornerstone neither
of virtue, prosperity and progress
To us, therefore, the title-deeds oi
whose estates and safety of whose
lives depend upon the tranquility o.
of the streets, upon the virtue of the
masses, the presence of any wee
which brutahzes the mass of mankind
and tends to make it more readily
the tool of intriguing and corrupt
leaders, is necessarily stab at the
+. very life of the nation
To prevent the open sale of intoxica
ting liquor has been the method
selected by the State to help its citi-
zens to be virtuous: in other words
the State has enacted what is called
the Maine liquor law. You may
drink in your own parlor. YOu mal
make what indulgence you pleas
your daily rule-the state does moi
touch you there; there you only IN
ljure yourself and those you directly
linhuence-that the state canno'

The Fort Worth Democrat does
not appear to admire the lawless
proceedings in that city, which result
ted in the escape Of prisoner held
under a requisition TO answer the
charge Of murder in New Mexico. 1t
prints the statement Of Mr. Klein

represents the act Of Courtright as a
deliberate and cOld-blooded murder.
An excited mob is q dangerous tribu-
nal in murder cases, whether it fsvors

HOW A lawyer Earns hIs LlvIng.

A current item states that the in
come Of Senator Edmunds from his
law practice is 1856, 900 q year. When
it is considered that there are in
every State many large incomes and
o host OF moderate ones made by the
practice OF law, there Is ground for
some reflection. The lawyer is .
necessity but whyf Because peo-
pie wrong each other, and it is so
difficult to obtain individual protec-
ton and Justice The law produces
nothing, transports nothing for dis
tribution; but, at the best, only pre-
vents wrong and outrage. The
$4,000 earned by Senator Edmunds
does not come from the amount of
work he does, but from It's import
ance. Who pays? Somebody pays
$4,000 to be defended from wrong,
or else to be helped to corral the
results OF other mems industry. In
either case that is terrible tax on
Industry. Then the talents OF the
great lawyer are given TO these defen-
sive or predatory efforts, and no
constructive benefit to society is the
result. The mass of the profession is
on the same line, and all that cost
and effort really go TO show how far
society is from q rule or science OF
justice, and explain in part how the
producer is kept poor. Besides, the
laws are most made by those Of that
profession the income Of which de-
pends upon the laws being broken.

Mr.. Gould and the Live Stock.

Third Vice President Hoxie, OF the
Gould lines, was in excellent humor
yesterday when Globe Democrat
representative entered his Office, over
the daily report of live stock ship
ments on the Missouri Pacific lines
which had just been laid on his desk.
In commenting on the remarkable
growth of this business during the
past two years, he told the following
anecdote of Mr., Jay Gould, which is
thoroughly characteristic and shows
the kind of man the President of the
great Southwestern system is:
"About two years ago" Col. Hoxie
said, ''Mr. Gould, Capt. Hayes, Mr..
Talmage and myself were coming up
over the international and Great
Northern in a special car. We were
passing through one of those enor-
nous herds of cattle which are
annually driven up the trail, as it is
termed from Texas. There were
probably $4,000 head in the drove.
You know these trails are not
regular roads, but may be five. miles
wide, and the cattle, under the guild
ance of the COW boys, move slowly
along, grazing all the time and
advancing six or eight miles a day.
In this way they are driven north
through the Indian Territory and
Kansas, where they are scattered in
all directions to the different markets.
Well Mr.. Gould had been watching
them some time from the car window,
when he suddenly turned around and
said TO me:
Hoxie, why don't you carry those
cattlef
"For two reasons, / answered.
In the first place, it costs so little to
drive them that the rates for trans
portation must necessarily be low,
and, in the second place, We haven't
cars enough TO handle them.
"sWell, I'd try it, anyway, be said,
and commenced 10 talk about some
thing else.
"Just q year after that time the
same party was going over the same
road In the interval / had not
heard word from Mr.. GOuld about
the cattle. but a. we neared the spot
where be bad spoken about the mat
Ter on former occasions he again
turned 20 me and said;

Value Of A scrap.Book.

Every one who takes a paper viii
find something both interesting and
important that is worth preserving,
and we know OF no better way than
TO cut the articles out and paste them
in an old book. And those that wish
something handler, I know OF no
better way than to buy scrap-book,
and would recammend 'Mark Twains
Scrap-book," which has gummed
lines. / use them, and they are
handy and always ready for uso.
They can be bought at any good
bookstore. / arrange and assort
the articles and put each under its
own head, and in that way I can turn
to the subject and read all that has
been written and printed in the
papers have taken for thirty years.
In this way have preserved thous-
ands Of valuable items which would
have gone to oblivion many years
ago. When recipe is wanted, or
different mode of cultivation, / expert
ment, and If found superior 10 my
own after two or three trials, ! make
note of it and mark the item super
ior, good, or worthless, as the. case
may be. And one who never has
been accustomed to preserve such
articles can hardly estimate the value
or pleasure it affords to sit down and
turn over the familiar pages, all OF
which you were glad to see in the
paper, but which you would long
since have lost had it not been for
your scrap-book. Here is recipe
you had almost forgotten, and which
you found just in time to save much
perplexity; and here are articles on
the cultivation OF fruits and vegeta-
bles, all of which you have pro6ted
by following the directions. There
is a sweet little story the memory OF
which has cheered and encouraged
you many time when almost ready
despair under the pressure Of life's
cares and. trials there is witty
anecdote it does you good to langn
over it yet, though for the twentieth
time Now, just take up your paper
and glance over il, and see how many
valuable items it contains that would
be Of service to you hundred times
in life. A choice thought is far more
precious than bit Of glittering gold.
Hoard with care the precious gems,
and see at the end of the year what
rich treasure you have accumulated
without much time or expense.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
American Beer.
EDITED BY MRS. A. O. MosHKR.


For some years decided inclina
ton has been apparent all over the
country TO give up the use Of whis
key and strong alcohols, using as {
substitute beer and other compounds
This is evidently founded on the idei
that beer is not harmful, and con
tains large amount OF nutriment
also, that bitters may have some
medical duality which will neutral
ize the alcohol which it conceals, etc
These theories are without confirma.
ton in the observation Of physi
clans. The use Of beer is. found to
produce q species of degeneration
of all the organism profound and
deceptive, fatty deposits, diminished
circulation, conditions of congestion
and perversion of functional activi
ties, local infiammations Of both the
liver and kidneys are constantly
present. Intellectually, a stupol
amounting almost to paralysis ar
rests the reason, changing all higher
faculties into a mere animalism, SEN
sual, selfish, sluggish, varied only
with paroxysms of anger that are
senseless and brutal. In appearance
the beer drinker may be the picture
of health, but in reality he is the
most incapable of resisting disease
A slight injury, a severe cold, or a
shock to the body or mind, will com
monty produce acute disease ending
fatally. Compared with inebriates
who use different kinds of alcohol, he
is more generally diseased. The
constant use of beer every day gives
the system no recuperation, but
steadily lowers the vital forces. 1t is
our observation that beer drinking in
this country produces the very low.
est kind of inebriety, closely allied to
criminal insanity. The most dan
gerous clas of ruffians in our large
cities are beer drinkers. Recource
to beer as q substitute for Other
forms of alcohol merely increases the
danger and fatality. In bitters we
have a drink which can never become
general. It's chief darger will be il
strengthening the hsordered craving
which latter will develop the posi-
tive disease. Public sentiment and
Legislation should comprehend that
all forms of alcohol are dangerous
when used.-Scientifc American.
