Correspondence of TIE LEADER.
WENDovER, Wyo., Aug. 14.-Your
correspondent was much surprised about
bed time last night to hear the rumble of
a train coming into Wendover. Coniec.
ture as | would | could not under
stand what was up. This morning by
making several well directed inquiries
ascertained that the aforesaid train was Q
special bearing Vice President Holcomb
of the Union Pacific. He got her,
quite late last night and this morning he
went up the Platte river canyon above
Wendover and after looking about he
started back for Cheyenne.
Sam Powell's bridge crew arrived here
to-day. From all reports his men must
be kept rather busy lately. They will
while here, repair the bridge across the
Platte.
People hcreabouts are entertaining great
hopes that the Cheyenne & Northern will
soon go to work on the extension.
During the past week several localities
about Wendovcr have been visited with
heavy showers and as a consequence the
depth of the North Plate river has been
very uncertain, it being affected by the
rains.
There are at the present time three in
habitants of Hartville all old timers
who still believe, or try to make them
selves think that they believe that Hart
vile will at some future date be a lively
and prosperous mining camp. In the
past expectations we're based upon copper
but at present the expectations of these
faithful few are based upon iron. There
is 10 doubt that there is a first-cl class quail.
ity of iron to be found there. Should it
so happen that the camp should ever
have railroad facilities it is possible that
the Platte would see iron works upon her
banks and many happy and prosperous
homes of iron workers.

Origin of the Term Lynch Law"

1t is not generally known that tho
term lynch law" originated in Camp
bell county, Va, before the Revolution
airy war. At that period the country
was thinly settled and was infested with
Tories and desperadoes-too many of
them, apparently, for the local authori-
ties to adequately punish. Col. Charles
Lynch, n distinguished officer of the
Revolutionary army, undertook to rid
his country of the outlaws. He organ
lied n force, arrested the outlaws, and
having satisfied himself and comrades of
the guilt of the accused, executed them
without reference to the constituted au-
thorities. While not altogether approx
ing of the desperate remedy for a des-
perate cause, the beneficial effect of Col.
Lynch's action was recognized and has
since been known as "Lynch's law" or
lynch law"
Lynch's process of melting out speedy
justice extended to other parts of the
country, and is a well recognized form
of redress of grievances today, particu-
larly for that class of offenses that are
popularity believed not to be adequately
punished by the statutes and courts of
the state. Col. Lynch's brother gave his
name to Lynchburg, and left a son who
was subsequently governor of Louisiana.

The Cabmen,s Shelters.

In the little pocket book which the late Emperor Frederick, then crown prince of Germany, carried on the day of the queens jubilee is the following entry: ''The ambulance arrangements on the day of the jubilee, the drinking troughs for dogs and horses and the ca5men's shelters in the streets of London" 1t was his habit to jot down whatever be saw in foreign countries which he thought might be advantageously in troduced into Germany
 All over rainy, foggy London at con venient distances are cab stands where hansoms and four wheelers wait in a row for patrons. Until the erection of the ''shelters" the cabman had no place of refuge from cold and damp except behind the apron of his cab. These shelters" stand directly in the middle of the streets, and with their rows of little windows all around look more like playhouses for children than establish ments for the comfort of cabmen. They are picturesque little wooden buildings, all over gables and miniature balconies from which are suspended hanging plants Plants also blossom in pots in the windows. Here the cabman cannot only warm his benumbed fingers, but can get hot steak and steaming cup of tea; so policeman told me one morning on the top of the omnibus as we trundled along by the cabmen's shelter on Regent street.-April Wide Awake.

Tasting Without a Tongue.

There exists a mistaken notion that the tongue is the sole organ of taste, just as the idea, natural but erroneous. is ex- tant that it is necessary for purposes of speech As a matter of fact. taste is as largely resident in the palate as in the tongue, while numerous cases are on record in which persons who have suf fered the loss of the tongue have been able to speak with clearness. Recently proof was given of the widespread nature of the taste sense in the mouth In patient from whom the tongue had been very completely removed. it was found that sensations of sweet, sour and bitter nature were still present. Curious ly. too, no sense of salt taste remained. These facts would almost seem to prove that various parts of tongue and pal ate are set apart for the appreciation of different tastes" This idea supports the fact that the tongue possesses on it's surface papill@ or taste organs of differ ent shapes and sizes. It is consistent to assume that such variations in the ends of the nerves of taste imply variations iIi their functions.-NewY York Telegram.

Caught by an Engine.

As a southern railroad train was sweep ing round a curve near Chattanooga, the fireman espied an enormous bald eagle on the track, and before the bird could fly the engine was upon him. He was struck and lifted upon the COW catcher, where he clutched beam with his great big claws, and held fast Be- fore he had time to recover from his fright and the shock of the collision. the fireman had climbed along the footway and attacked him. The man was deter mined to take him prisoner and the eagle was equally determined not to be captured.
 The struggle was something unique and terrible. The train was going at the rate of forty-five miles an hour. The man had to hold by one hand with all his power to one of the iron guards be- low the headlight to keep his footing, as the engine swayed from side to side and bounded over the inequalities of the track, while he managed the eagle with the other hand.
 But his, birdship was finally secured after he h4h nearly torn the mans over alls to shr9ds with his powerful talons, which a,sj fully four inches long. He was carried back over the footway, fight ing like demon.
