In the latter part Of 1888 John Bunch, .
prospsfous farmer near Shoals, Indiana,
dtsappeated mysteriously. On Dec. 9Th,
1885, the superintsndsnt Of the Martin
county poorhouse was sent for by ono OF
the inmates, Mrs. Archer, who informed
him that Bunch was murdered by her hus-
band, his brothers. Thomas and Martin and
John Lynch, and George Colt. She said the
were engaged In horse stealing and other
lawless acts. They had frequently endeav-
ored to induce Bunch to Join them but to
NO avail, and finally determined to get rid
oi him.. The sequel 10 told In the following

Archers, who have been confined in the
county jail for several weeks, charged with
murder. expiated their horrible crime at
the hands OF mob recently. The
jail, situated in West Shoals. When the jail
was reached the keys were demanded, which
were refused, when the spokesman ordered
them to 90 in. The door was battered
down, and the iron coll doors treated like
wire. After gaining entrance and spending
. short time with the doomed men, they
were then led out and taken to the court
yard adjoining tho Jail But few words
were exchanged. They selected the trees
on which they were to be hanged, when
The moose was placed on their respective
words concerning their crimes, az to
which no answer was received, the word
was given to haul up and in a very few
moments the dead bodies OF John Martin
and Thomas Archer could be seen suspend
cd in mid air. Tho mob then quietly dis.
persed, leaving their victims In the position
which they met their doom.

had no pretension to humor, though
having the kcenest sense of it, but ho
had conspicuous indetiniteness and flu
ency of speech. He, however, cared
little to display either, being apparent
ly more desirous to learn than to teach.
The famous writer of "The Rise of tho
Dutch Republic" now rests with his
wife in foreign land, among the silent
host of the huge cemetery of Kcnsal
Green, ON the outskirts of London.
The spot is secluded. The stranger
wandering through the long walks
would never notice it and stop. We
were but few around his grave when
he was buried, on the sunniest day of
June of 1877, but there were not many
faces dry. Quite near were deposited
last year the remains of Mrs. Lowell.
NJ. Van de Weycr had had to fight his
way up to his position in this country,
and though he liked the English very
much. was never much liked by them,
ut first because they fancied him too lit
tie, and later because they considered
him too big.
"Well. how is Leopold" had in tho
early days disdainfully queried from
him the celebrated Lady Holland.
Leopold. Lady Holland was the
reply, "You do not mean the king of
the Belgians?"
"rhc King of the Bclgians?" she SUI
pcrciliously replied. II have heard of
Germans, French. and Italians, never
of Belgians."
"Your l~iyship," coily said Mr.. Van
dc Weyer, ''has perhaps heard of cer-
toin individual called Julius C,rsar?"
"Yes. Well what?"
"Well. it would appear that the Bel
gians were already known at this time,
and not unfavorably. cithor, us lie de-
scribcs them rs the bravest among tho
Gauls."
Thus began the friendship of one of
the greatest and most influential Eng
lish ladies of these last years and tho
cool-hcadcd foreigner. Subsequently
the English ruling classes suspected
the Belgian to be second Baron Stock
mar, and as they had had plenty of the
first one, they did not like it. Their
suspicion was ill-founded.

A Profitable Pass

Three or four years ago a Michigan

man and both horses. The old woman
was found pretty easy customer to
settle with. She took $500 for the
horses, $1,000 for the old man and a
life-pass in payment of her own shaking
up. Within six weeks after getting the
pass she went down to visit her daugh-
ter near Chicago. and two days after
ward returned to her sons near Detroit.
Since that date she has used the pass

Literary Mutual Admiration.

The true reason, we suspect, why no
one who can be spoken of as success
or, Mt however long an interval, to
Dickens, Thackery. or Macaulay, has
yet appeared, is to be found in tho
broad fact that, whereas turing the first
fivc-and-twcnty years of the century,
novelists, historians, and pamphleteers
wrote before all things for the general
public, and with a habitual eye to the
effects of humor and humanity, which
arrest and delight the attention of man
kind en- masse, those who have come af-
ter them are animated rather by re-
gard for the traditions of particular
school or fear of the criticisms of the
special coterie to which they are effect
ed. Mutual admiration societies are
fatal to the development of English
novelists built on the lines of Thackery
and Dickens. The awe of cliqucs, and
the slavish anticipations of the verdict
which may be pronounced by the shall
low aristarchi of . little knot of prigs
and pcdants are Inconsistent with the
free play of thought and the catholic en-
ercise of fancy which give the world
books that it would not willingly let die.
Our hcrateurs appeal primarily not
orbi but urbi, and even so, less to the
general public as the great city itself
than to an insignificant and opinionatcd
subsection of that public. When Lord
Houghton died, last autumn, some of
the newspapers dismissed him disparag-
ingly as second-ratc poet, as if poets,
like school-boys or cheap London houses,
must be arranged in classes. But the
fact remained that so long as Lord
Houghton was with us English litera-
turc possessed one figure who most
agreeably and not unworthily repre-
sented it on all public occasions, and
who could be trusted to maintain its
interests and reputation in any assem-
bly,, whether of Englismen or foreign
ers. Does there exist to- day within the
four seas any substitute for Lord
Houghton of whom the same can be
said? Houghton was not Dickens,
Thackeray, a Macaulay, or Tcnnyson;
but he was the best known and most
popular symbol of the literary craft;
and if he was only second rate is not
the mediocrity of the professors Of that
craft whom he has left behind him rem
dered the more patent-a mcdiocrity
explicablc, as it would seem, only by
reference to the considerations which
have just been urged? In literature and
art. as in craftsmanship. the public
looks for leaders who can form its taste,
and round whom it can rally. 1t is
destined apparently so to look for some
time i'll vain. The retrospect, at any
rate, Of the death roll of 1885 goes far to
justify the statement that we can reac:,
the land Of Lilliput without shaking tn
dust of Westminster Oh the Strand, ol
Pail Mall or Paxrnostcr row, of our

His death was the result OF u complication

rendered him an easy victim to disease

reached New York about week ago very
ill and went directly to his son.in-law's

The Danbury Fair.

We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Dan- bury agricultural society in another col umn, the success of which has become proverbial.
 The attendance at the yearly exhibi- tions of this society has within ten years more than quadrupled itself, and the concourse of people one meets there is really startling, but is easily accounted for when one considers the variety and size of its departments and the choice display of each and every exhibit.
 The fair has developed into the larg- est and best in the New England states and it's almost phenominal success is due mainly to It's just and generous arrangements, the officers having always endeavored to carry out their pro. gramme in every particular, sparing nc time, effort, or expense in catering te the wants of it's patrons.
