through the French tieur de Louis-tradi-
tion asserting that this plant was worn as a
device by King Louis VII. of France. Buck
wheat is derived from the Dutch word book
welt, and addcr's tongue from word in the
same language adderstong. In like manner
the name tulip is traceable to the word
thonlyban in the Persian language-signify-
ing turban. So, too, our English word
lilac is nothing more than an Anglicized
form Of another word in the Persian tongue,
viz, lilag. A large number Of plants owe
their names to those by whom they were
first discovered and introduced into other
climes. The fuchsia stands indebted for its
name to Leonard Fuchs, an eminent Ger
man botanist, and the dahlia was so named
in honor Of Swedish boeanist named Dahl.
A long list Of plant names might be formed
which might be termed animal and bird pre-
tixes-as, for example, horse beans, horse
chestnuts, dog violets and dog roses; CATS
faces, name applied to the plant known to
botanical students as the viola trio olor;
CATS eyes, veronica cham3drys; cats tails,
and catkins. The goose-grass IS known TO
the country people in Northamptonshlre as
pig tail, and in Yorkshire name given to
the fruit of the Cratrgus oxyacantha IS
bull horns. Many plant names have been
suggested by the feathered race, particu-
larly goose tongue, cuckoo buds (mentioned
by Shakespeare), cuckoo flowers, stork's
bill and cranes bill One of the popular
names of the arum is ''parson in the pulpit"
and Devonshire term for the sweet Scab-
riosis is ''mournful widow" The campion

CHARLOTTE, n. c., October 10 lSpe-
cial to The Register. Robert Berrier, a
young white uaa who last week muir
dered his mother in-law at Lexington,
was taken from Jail there by a masked
mob and lynched
Berrier was captured Sunday near
Lexington, but was carried to Green's
boro for safety. He was brought back
to Lexington yesterday for prelimi-
nary hearing. He waived examination
and was placed in Jail. Early last night
mob, said to have been composed of
country people entirely, numbering
about 1875, came quietly into Lexington
and, marching to the jail, demanded of
the jailer and guards the prisoner.
Berrier heard the mob from the inside
and pitifully called out: For God sake,
don't let mob get mel" The jaller re-
fusing to give up the keys, the Jail door
was soon battered down and Berrier
bound and taken out. His cries were
pitiful in the extreme. The mob placed
him in buggy and slowly the march
was begun. Just by the roadside, at
the outskirts of town, stands massive
oak tree. To Il limb of this tree rope
was adjusted, Berrier placed on horse,
and the rope tied about his neck. He
was then asked if he bad anything to say,
and is reported to have said the only
request he had to make was that his
child be raised properly and never be
told of his terrible deed. He then offered
a prayer. and the horse was snatched
from under him and his body hung be-
tween heaven and earth. Some shots
were fired at the dangling form and then
the lynchers dispersed.
Robert Berrier had been married
about one year. His welded life did not
prove to be a happy one, and one day
last week he separated from his wife,
she going to her mothers, Mrs. Herbert
Walser. who lives near Lexington, IN
Davidson County. Berrler's wife carried
with her their only child-a small babe.
Berrier swore she should not raise it,
and the next day after the separation be
went to the home of his mother-in-law
and demanded the child. 1t being re-
fused him, he took It by main force and
was leaving when Mrs. WalSer followed
him and tried to take the child from
him. She continued to follow him, and
the indignant son-in-law drew from his
pocket pistol aud shot her to death.
He thea fled with the child. The babe
was, however, found the next day in an
old hollow log safe and sound. AS has
been stated, Berrier was not captured
until Sunday.

Care of the Finger Nails.

The half moon, which is esteemed so great
a beauty, if carefully attended to will in
crease in time, and even where it has been
almost obliterated will grow to be very
beautiful. Many people think that pushing
the skin back from the nail will show it
more; but by this practice the delicate hem,
as we call it. which holds the upper and
under skins together, is totally destroyed
and the ends of the fingers have an ugly
yellow growth encircling the nail, in
stead of the delicate framework which
nature intended. Then the way in
which the nail is cut can totally
change the shape Of the fingers. BY cut
ting the nails close at the sides and keeping
the corners from adhering to the skin, hang
nails can be avoided. When the nails are
thin and inclined to break, frequent oiling is
necessary, and the nail should never be
polished except when some oily substance
is used beside the powder. This keeps the
nails more pliable, and no matter how thin
they are, if properly treated they are no
more liable to break than thicker ones.
Another thing that is bad for the nails IS
polishing them too roughly. They should
be lightly touched, and not rubbed until
they become heated. This is one cause OF
white spots coming on the nail and marring
it's beauty.-Medical Classics.

A Singular Optical Illusion.

Passengers vino arrived last Tuesday
at Denver from Northern Wyoming re-
port singular optical illusion. The
conductor Of the train says: 1T was
about an hour before sunset, and, look
ing out of the car window, we saw
about a mile away a beautiful lake. 1t
was in slight depression among the
bills, and seemed to be about two miles
long by a mile wide. Never having
noticed lake al this place on the road,
was considerably astonished, as were
passengers familiar with the road. As
the tram advanced the lake appeared to
enlarge and rise, but in spite of ShisSt
was difficult to believe the appearance
was simply mirage and that what az
peared to be lake was level plain"

SHEARS.
sDocn HUGHEs's TWO WIDOWS.
Each Claiming to Have Been His Lawful
Wife and Demanding Damages.


Wife and Demanding Damages.
The Hughes-Jacobs murder case and
the damage suit by the widow of doc"
Hughes against Jacobs were revived yes
terday, says the Greenville Nens Of the
18th, in the trial Of a case before the
Judge of Probate, in which Amanda
Melvina Hughes of Georgia, who
claimed to be the lawful wife OF Doc
Hughes instead of Sallie Hughes, with
whom the murdered man was living at
the time of his death, petitions that the
letters Of administration granted to
Sallie Hughes be revoked and granted
to her.
1t will be remembered that after
Hughes was killed woman by the
name of Amanda Hughes, living near
Clarksville, Georgia, appeared and
claimed to be his Lawful. wife. Her claim
was relied upon to degree by the de-
fense when Mr.. Jacobs was on trial. to
show that Hughes was a man of bad
character and was guilty of bigamy.
The alleged wife No. l did not again
appear upon the scene until her petition
wss brought before the Probate Judge,
In the meantime Sallie Hughes, the
South Carolina wife of Doc Hughes,
brought suit against Richard H. Jacobs
for $4,000 damages for the killing of
her husband. The case was tried twice,
the first time resulting in mistria! and
the second time Sallie Hughes Was
awarded a verdict of $3.50 damages.
Letters of administration were granted
to her as the lawful wife of Doc Hughes.
The history of Doc Hughes was well
ventilated in the damage suit, the coun-
sci for Jacobs making the point that be
had two living wives and Sallie Hughes
ought not to be awarded damages unless
it was proven that she was the real and
lawful wife. The trial of the case was
sensational, but the jury at last found
for the plaintiff in the sum named.
A few days ago the damages were paid
by Mr. Jacobs, and now comes Amanda
Melvina Hughes, who claims to be widow
IF >Dec Hughes and claims that under the
Statutes eesaSauth Carolina the letters of
administration sGou1d be given to--her
and those given to Saille Hughes re-
voked. The claim of widow No. is
evidently made for the purpose of get
ting control of the money awarded to
widow No. 2.
Judge Freeman heard both sides and
revoked the letters granted to Sallie
Hughes, but refused to grant new ones
to Amanda Hughes. An outside person
will now be appointed administrator,
and the next step will be for one or
both parties to bring suit against the
administrator for the recovery of the
money, and the lawful widow Of Doc
Hughes will then be finally and firmly
established. G. L. Galloway represented
the petitioner and J. I. Earle the de-
fendant.

A Clersyman's Reasons for Readi ng
Newspapers.
(From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.

FTOW We utSOTyL D[IittCL]
TO the Editor Of the Dispacth: I see
that Bishop Foss, in his address to the
class seeking admission to conference,
advised the young ministers to give
scanty attention to the daily newspa-
pers.
But I must certainly disagree witt
this Episcopal dictum, for I think wise
reading OF the daily newspaper is a sym
metrical education. While things slip
in sometimes which ought to be passed
by, the editors Of great paper have a
trde Midas touch, and know the gold of
promise from the brass of profession.
There is no noble sentiment, no true
strain of poetry, no sonorouS word fit to
roll round the world, no gem of thought
but finds its way at last into the columns
of the daily press. The newspaper is a
fresh photograph of human life-oh! has
it not depth of meaning for the noblest
sermon? | read often even the adver-
tisements of the paper, and find in them
the wit, power, and also the pathos Of
life. l thank the daily press for the
living sermons it has given me. As on
an autumn's day the wind shakes the
tree and the leaves fail down aud make
an amethystine and golden floor, so this
great tree, the press, shaken every day,
sheds down its white leaves upon the
wolld-leaves of knowledge, leaves Of
healing.
When I see young minister who
wisely reads the daily paper I am sure
he is growing in grace, at least on that
spot where it is thought the average
minister is sadly deficient.

BETRAYED AND BEATEN.
a Story Of Outrageous Treatment Told
by an Old Man from Pickens.

a rumor was current IN the city yes
terday, says the Greenville NeaGs of the
18th, that F. F. Nunally Of Pickens
County had been taken from his house
and whipped by regulators. A Neaos
reporter found Mr.. Nunally in West
End and elected the following statement
from him: Con last Friday afternoon"
said he, II was at my home in Pickens,
about eight miles from town, and haul
ing cotton from the field. 18th mar

Nix drove by, and stopping, asked me
if would be at home that nightp I
told him I would, and he said that she
woaSd come over and bring something
to drink At sundown I went home, ate
supper and SAT down. About 9 o'clock
jeff Nix and young man who lives with
him named Bub Brooks came in and sat
down. We talked awhile, and Nix asked
me if I would sell my pistolr Isaid yes
He then asked to seeit. I brought it out
and told him that I would take IS
for it. He answered: 4 will not take
it now, but will buy it soon.' Then he
asked to see my gun. I brought it out
also, and after he had looked at it, set it
over in the corner. We chatted for
few minutes, and directly Nix got up
and walked behind me, as I thought to
look at the pistol, which I had laid on
the table. paid no attention to him,
We always having been friends and never
dreaming of foul play. He had not
been behind me more than minute
before I was seized by him and forced to
the floor. Then Brooks jumped on me.
At this instant some one outside the
house halloed out: Tie him and bring
him out They pushed me out Of the
door, where was two or three men, do
not know which, and tied my hands to-
gether with rope, and then tied my
feet. I was thrown on the ground,
and JEFF Nix took big cart whip and
commenced to beat me. I asked him
what he meant by this kind of treat.
ment, and he said: You have been
talking about me and telling id
lies on me- denied doing
anything of the kind, and he said:
Shut up or I'll burst your brains out
with the butt of this whip He whipped
me until l was insensible, and then went
of. l finally extricated myself from
the bonds and getting up went into the
house for my pistol. 1t was gone. I
then went over to neighbor's house
but finding no one awake, and being
afraid of a second attack, went home and
went to bed.

This is the story, and if it be true, it
is likely no stone vii! be left unturned
to bring the perpetrators to justice. The
two men named have disappeared, and
Mr. Nunally did not recognize the others.
He is sixty years old, and his back is
black from the beating and bis wrists

very sore. He IS not seriously injured,
but will use every power to have his as

MALONE QUOTES SCRIPTURE.
He Finds Much Campaign Material in the
Book Of Joshua.

RICHMOND, October 19.-The negroes
are wildly excited ever Mahone's latest
secret campaign circular. Some weeks
ago he sent out private letters asking
for the names of colored ministers. To
their addresses he is sending a card and
circular. Upon the card are printed
Scriptural references, calling especial
attention to the 14th, 18th, 10th, 18th
and 18th chapters of Joshua. In the
18th chapter he calls attention to the
following passage:
"But the mountains shall be thine; for
it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down;
and the outgoings of it shall be thine;
for thou shalt drive the CanaaniteS,
though they have iron chariots and
though they be strong.''
IL the 18th chapter he calls attention
to the following passage:
"And there remained among the chill
dren of Israel. seven tribes which had
not received their inheritance. And
Joshua said unto the children of Israel:
How long are ye slack 10 60 to possess
the land which the Lord God of your
fathers hath given you? And Joshua
cast lots for them in Shiloh before the
Lord, and there Joshua divided the
land unto the children of Israel accord
ing to their divisions.
Malone simply asks the negroes to
read these extracts carefully. Joshua
is the favorite prophet of the negro
race, and these utterances of his are
now being read by thousands in connec-
ton with the election. They regard it
as promise of division of the land
of the whites among the negroes. In
deed, some of their ministers do not
hesitate to tell them that they are one
of the seven tribes which have not re-
ceived their inheritance. Malone also
offers large prizes to the colored man

around Mount Pilatus have under con-
sideration proposal for the construc-
ton of novel kind of road, which has
been submitted to them by NJ. Leonardo
Torres, of Santander, through the CEN
tral government of Berne. This road
would connect the so-called Oberhaupt,
or highest point of Pllatus, with the
Klimsenhorn. The object would be to
make the ascent of the mountain easier
on the Northern side and to shorten the
ascent for tourists coming from Hergls-
wyl. The difference in level between
the two points is set down at 1874
meters; the distance between them
at 465 meters The road appara-
