An Old Man.

One OF the ulOsb TeHidrkhDie eases
Of longevity is that of Henry Jen-
kins. the fisherman, of Yorkshire,
England, who died in December,
1870, at the age of 1850. The best
known and best authenticated case
is that Of Thomas Parr, "Old Parr,"
as he was Familiarity known. He was
first married when so years old
and took his second wife at the age
of 122. He died in 1885 at the age
Of 1852. He was a farmer and was
able to dig, plough and thrash I'M
til he was 1870 years old. Had he
continued his simple habits he
might have lived even longer than
he did, but the luxurious living at
the Court of Charles l., at which his
latter years were spent, led to~dis-
orders which hastened his end. Ex-
amples of great longevity are fire.

the age of 1873 years. The United

Lynch Law.

No words are sufficiently condem-
natory of "lynch law" Consider
ed in the abstract, the taking of a
prisoner from the officers of the law
and anticipating the laws Judgment
by executing him cannot be sufi-
GENTLY apologized for.
1t is unfortunate, however, that,
while lynch law a only be spoken
of to condemn it, sometimes--and,
indeed, often-it happens that the
administration of summary justice
in given cases on known criminals
cannot be condemned with that
heartiness that may be visited on
lynch law in the abstract.
1t too often happens that lynch
law is administered not so much as
a vengeful punishment of crime and
criminals. but because of a desire to
express a condemnation of the laws
inadequacy and delays. 1t is not
infrequent that lynch law is evoked
not because of a desire to override
and defy the law of the land, but
because the people desire a better
and more rigid enforcement of the
law.
Thus it appears, that while in the
abstract lynch law is to be condemn
ed without stint, it must be looked
upon very often not as the result
Of the lawlessness Of the people of a
community, but rather as a result
of the lawlessness of the law of
that same community.
