Amusing and Instructive Novelty.

OF such character is the sterling novel
ty. in the shape OF a Counter Wrapper Pad,
(12xSh inches) for the counter use OF drug
gists and dealers in medicine They com
prise humorous sketches from the rich and
racy pens OF "Bill Nye'' and other talent
ed and wellknown funny men, finely il.
Illustrated in the broadcast style OF the comic
art. At once the design is manifest and
most pleasing.
AS q wrapper to a parcel each bears in
graceful lettering his name and place OF
business. It is gotten out by The Charles
A. Vogeler Company. Baltimore, Md, and
is being distributed freely to their patrons
in trade. It is another proof OF the we'll
earned reputation OF the remedies manu-
factured by that house and another of it's
ingenious methods OF spreading the story
OF the wonderful cures wrought by St. Ja-
cobs Oil. In verse and alliterated lines an
other story is told OF an equally famous
and efficacious remedy-Red Star Cough
Cure-which has been shown by the analy-
ses OF the most distinguished chemists to
be free from opiates and poisons; the cost
OF which is only twenty-five cents.

When Clark Mills was casting his
statue of Gen. Jackson on a balancing
horse, now in Lafayette square, Ed
win Forrest, then playing an engage
ment at Washington, asked permits
sion to witness the casting OF large
part OF it. On the day appointed for
casting the statue Mills notified For
rest, who, with other ladies and gentle
men assembled within the Enclosure.
The party gathered around the pit,
while Forrest placed himself on a
plank laid directly across the pit.
At a given signal Mills removed the
plugs from the furnace, and the molten
bronze began to pour out from the
furnace to the mold below. Unfortun-
ately some water had got into the
mold and q terrible explosion took
place; the earth, sand, and molten
metal flew in all directions. Mills was
knocked heels over head; one OF the
sides OF the inclosure was blown out;
half the guests were knocked down or
covered with earth; some were scorch-
ed, the others fled in dismay. When
the smoke and steam had cleared
away Mills rose from the earth and
discovered Forrest still standing on
the plank across the pit. "Great
heavens!' exclaimed Mills as soon as
he could get his breath. "NIr. Forrest,
hope you are not hurt" Hurt"
replied Forrest, whats here to ART
anybody" ''Thank God" cried Mills.
"But amt you frightened?" "Fright-
ened," replied Forrest, "why should l
be frightened? l thought this was a
part OF the performance"

JUDGE LYNCH.
An Ohio Man Hanged to an Electric Pole.

At Eaton. Ohio, William Mussel was
Jailed on the 21st. His crime was the
killing OF Daniel Christman, an aged an re-
spected farmer living near Eaton, and the
ATTEMPTED killing OF Mrs. Christman, on the
night OF Dec. T. Mussel had been employ
ed that day by Chrstman to do some
work, and alter going to bed at night got
up and went out. Christman becoming
anxious went out after him. Mrs. Christ
man then saw Mussel strike her husband
dead with ar ak. He came to the house
and beating her to insensibility, robbed
the house of q few dollars set the bed
on fire and fled. Mrs. Christman recover.
ed and put out the fire.
On arriving at the Jail in Eaton, there
was " crowd OF 500 men yelling kill
him. Shoot him." rush was made for
the prisoner, but the officers drew revolv-
ers and kept the mob back, but at night
citizens gathered in a body in the court
house, and assaulting the jail broke in and
took out Mussel, and at Sis had his dead
body dangling from an electric light pole
in front OF the court house. There was an
uncomfortable spirit in the crowd that
overwhelmed entirely the efforts OF the Off.
GERS to protect the prisoner. A plan had
been made to remove Mussel to some 9th
er jail, but the mob gathered and acted be.
fore it could be carried out.
The jail doors were broken and the leaders
were quickly in Mussels cell. He answered
to his name, but when asked if he had
killed Christman denied it. He refused to
say anything further, but said, IF you are
going to hang me be quick about it," The
men sent for some one to identity him and
this being done, a rope was put on his
neck, and he was led to the electric light
tower in the principal part OF the town,
where he was given an opportunity to con.
Tess. He declared his innocence, and asked
that his body be buried and that his coat
and letters be given to his wife. The lead
CT then gave the order to pull the rope, one
end OF which had been thrown over a beam
and was in the hands OF several stalwart
men. Mussel again said he was innocent.
"Pull the ropeH' was the order, and in an
instant his body was dangling in the air.

Would Not Say 'Damn.o

From the Boston Record.
There was established not very long
ago in a Maine town weekly news
paper which was intended by the pro-
prletor, a very pious man. to growup
and wax rich on the basis OF publica-
ton and editing in the utmost fear OF
the Lord. No advertisements OF any
plays, dances, lotteries, patent bitters
with alcohol in them, improved cor
sets, or anything doubtful whatever.
were to be admitted Nothing that
was criminal, irreverent, Or even a
little bit risky was admitted to the
news columns. Above all the words
"damn," which the proprietor found
was creeping into the press altogether
too markedly, was never to be printed.
Naturally the proprietor couldn't see
everything that went into the paper,
but the boys followed his orders very
strictly. One day he had occasion,
in an editorial which he himself wrote,
to use y classical reference, which
came out in the paper as follows:
'The President may, in tact, feel that
the sword Of D-ocles is now hang
ing over him.
This startled the proprietor
little, but he reflected that the
boys had only followed his orders,
and that it might break them all up
to find fault with them, and SO he 81
nothing about it.
But a few weeks aiterwardn
that the thing was really being
too far when the text OF a di,

eyes on the manly bearded faces

eyes, then with the old frank smile OF
appreciation. he muttered: "Dying

The river rushed and sang, the wind
sighed airily through the sorrowful
pines, but distinct and clear rose the
voice ofOrphee, that sweet, high tenor,
thrilling with tears and pathos. It

poor, cold hands close to his breast.
