Tho ORIGINATOR of Lynch Law.

Andrew Ellicott, who was LEnfantS sub
ordinate in LAYING out Washington city, and
who managed to supplant him, afterwards
surveyed the line between the United States
and the Spanish colonies in Florida While
there he met Capt Lynch, the originator OF
lynch law, of whom he gives in his manu-
script journal the following account:
Capt Lynch wrote Mr.. Elhcott, was
the author of the lynch laws SO well known
and so frequently carried into effect some
years ago in some of the states, in defiance OF
every principle of Justice and Jurisprudence.
! had the following details of procedure from
his own lips: The lynch men associated for
the purpose of Furnishing crimes in summary
way. without the technical and tedious forms
of our courts of justice. Upon report be
ing made by any member OF the ASSOCIATION
of a crime being committed in the vicinity OF
their jurisdiction, the person SO compialned
of was Immediately pursued and taken, II
possible If apprehended, he was carried be-
fore some member of the ASSOCIATION ana ex-
amined. Ii his answers were not satisfactory
he was whipped until they were so. These
extorted answers usually involved others IN
the supposed crime, who in turn were pun
ished in like manner. These punishments
were sometimes severe in consequence OF the
answers extorted under the influence of the
smarting whip to interrogatories put by mem
bers of the association.
s'Mr Lynch informed me that he had never
in any case given a vote for the punishment
of death. Some, however he acknowledged,
had been hanged, but not in the common
way. 4 horse became their executioner.
The manner was thus: The person to be
hanged was placed on horse, with his hands
tied behind him. A rope was tied about his
neck, and its other end, not too long, was
fastened to the limb of tree over his head.
In this situation the person was left. When
the horse in pursuit of food or for any other
cause, moved, the criminal was left suspended
by his neck This was called aiding the civil
authority. 1t seems almost incredible" con-
tinues Mr. Ellicott, that such proceedings
should be had governed by known laws. It
may, nevertheless, be relied on. should not
have asserted it as fact had it not been re-
lated to me by Mr. Lynch himself and by
his neighbors. Ben: Perley Poore In Boston

TO DRY DEAD BODIES.
ing Dut'' Cemeteries and Crematories.

A Young Inventors Scheme fer KNOCK
ing Out" Cemeteries and Crematories.
Another answer to the question of how best
to dispose of the dead has been given by j.
G. Meyers, of Washington He has invented
a plan which he believes to be superior to
cremation, burial, or any other ancient or
modern method of treating dead bodies The
new Mausoleum and Safe Deposit for the
Dead is the name Of this new contrivance.
Mr.. Meyers plan may be regarded as a
compromise between the two extremes of
interment and cremation. In fireproof
building spaces viii be provided just large
enough to hold single coffin. When a coffin
with dead body is placed in one of these the
door Of the apartment is Theoretically sealed.
Running from these apartments are tubes
which bring air into the deadrooms and also
carry it downward by a forced draft TO a
central furnace below, where are consumed
all gases and fluids escaping from the bodies.
Dead bodies treated in this manner viii, in
short time, it is claimed, become naturally
preserved or dried, and so remain.
Ample provision VIII be made TO prevent
the entombing Of persons really dead \ re-
ceiving room will be provided with an cleo
trical apparatus so arranged that the slight
est movement in the coffin will set off an
alarm. This VIII continue for hours, if need
be, and will also prove an indicator which
will draw attention TO the place where the
movement occurred If, again. for any rea-
son the removal Of the dead should be de-
sired, the bodies in the mausoleum, unlike
those in gloomy pyramids of Gizeh. are a.
ways accessible and II such a state Of preser-
walton as to make transfer practicable and
comparatively easy. Arrangements viii
also be made for ernbalming bodies and for
entombing those treated in this way that
they may oe seen at any time by friends.
BY the adoption of this system. Mr.. Meyers
maintains, body snatching viii be made i'm
possible There viii be but single entrance
TO the building, guarded day and night Yet
notwithstanding all these appointments the
cost OF entomblng in the nausoleum VIII not
exceed that of a respectable interment in any
well known cemetery. Families could be ac-
commodated with sections, including as
many single apartments as desired The
fronts OF these apartments can be adorned
es deliberately as a tombstone. and
with fully as great variety CT ornanen-
tation- An ordinary mausoleum could be
placed within the limits of a city as well as
on the cemetery grounds, and be far less OBJ
fashionable if built and managed as proposed,
than the average brewery or sugar refinery.

ART OF SELF DEFENSE.
Julian Hawthorne's Ideas Concerning the
Use Of Fists-Instinct.

It is difficult to understand how there could
ever have been a period in the worlds history
when what has been called the noble art OF
self-defenss with the fists UNDERSTOOD was
an art impractical OF unknown. How could
any boy conduct any manner Of relations
with other boys without giving and receiving
an incidental bloody nose or black eyer 1t
may be true, as the divine Watts maintains,
that our little hands were never made to tear
each others eyes; but there was never a
doubt in the mind of any healthy and whole
some youth as to what his little fists were
made for The new born babe comes into
the world with clinched fists, in token, doubt
less, of his purpose to take his own Fart in
that world later on; and it IS loSg before he
outgrows the influence of that ea4ly instinct:
if not, SO much the worse for him.
When boy is insulted, when his rights are
invaded, when he feels himself in danger Of
feeling frightened, what is the natural and
proper thing for him to do! To cryf To run
away and tell mammal To call namesl To
smile sweetly and make polite remark? l
trow noti l admit that there may be boys
and boys; but the boy who is boy, in any
decent and tolerable sense of the word, that
bow sets his teeth, doubles up his fists, the

and he pitches in 1t is fine thing to do,
and to see; it is as natural as eating apples;
and the effect upon the digestion, circulation,
and higher moral qualities generally, Is
vastly better.
OF course in an artificial age, and among
effete nations, there may be boys who are
corrupt and inhuman from their birth; and
such boys may, for aught l can tell, act,
under provocation, in either one or the OBJ
jectionabe ways enumerated above; or they
may scratch, or bite, or pull hair, or KICK
shins. Indeed, now that l consult my men,
ory. and am by it transported to far dis
tant epoch, when l had my abode in the land
of Dante, Raphael Numa Pompilius and the
pope-in short, when was in Italy, recol-
lect finding the Italian boys singularly and
revoltingly deficient in the knowledge and
practice Of those rules and traditions that are
the birthright of the Anglo-Saxon. They
never used their fists; they used to stand OIL
at a distance and throw stones; they were
wont to express hope that their enemies
might die of stroke Of apoplexy, and If
forced to close quarters they even scrupled
not to draw their wretched little pocket
knives. That was in the evil days OF the
French and Austrian occupation, when the
spirit of the people was broken. Let us hope
that the children of this age are children OF
more light.-Julian Hawthorne IN The Cos
