LYNCH LAW.
Its Origin and It's First Instru-
ment.

menu.
On the lawn of the most
charming home in South Virginia,
in a beautiful valley of Campbell
county, stands the old walnut tree
on which Lynch law was first
administered. "Avoca" is tile
name bestowed on the old Lynch
place, in memory of Tom Moore's
aAvoca,n by a granddaughter
of the Colonel Charles Lynch of
the, Revolution.
cit is not generally known that
the original lynch law never
sentenced an offender to death,
but only to be whipped, The
term has been ascribed to mora
than one source. Modern
dictionaries and some Of the ency-
clopadias have treated it as
worthy of notice. Webster,
Worcester and other lexicograph-
ers ascribe the origin of lynch law
to Virginia farmer named Lynch,
and the traditions and records OF
the Lynch family agree with the
more formal references found in
historical works. There is no
room for doubt that the term "now
become a part of the English
language and accepted of all men" "
was derived from that fearless
and honored soldier of the
Revolution, Colonel Charles Lynch,
whose sword hangs on the wall of
the lofty hall at Avoca. But that
Colonel Lynch should be reputed
the farther of lynch law in the
modern acception of the term is
quite another matter, and would
be utterly unjust to him. In the
year I7S0, when the fortunes of the
patriots were at low ebb, the Scotch
settlers and Tories of Piedmont,
Virginia, conspired to crush THERE
bellion." Their efforts were
thwarted by the courage, vigilance
and energy of Colonel Charles
Lynch. Captain Robert Adams and
Captain Thomas Galloway, aided
by Colonel William Preston, all
Virginians of wealth and influence.
Colonel Lynch being Chief
Magistrate had the powers of a
Judge. He was a man of striking
individuality, and "vividly i'm
pressed the popular imagination.
So eminently a leader that he
naturally and easily took his place
at the head of the Whig party in
his section of the country"
"These gentlemen, ardent
patriots, kept a sharp watch upon
the loyalists, and when one was
discovered playing into the hands
of the enemies of Washington he
was seized, taken to the residence
of Col. Lynch, examined by a
court composed of the gentlemen
above named and others, and if
found guilty tied to the walnut
trees, given thirty-nine lashes and
made oshout "Liberty foreverl"
After this he was set free, with
words of counsel and admonition
that left him a wiser if not a better
man. One of the Tories arrested
was found to have papers of
Importance to the royalists
concealed in the hollow of a square
bedpost. He received the usual
castigation, was given house to
reside in on the premises and for
bidden to leave them on pain of
severe punishment. These orders
he strictly obeyed. The refrain
of popular song of that section
was:

Experiments with Bearings.

Experiments have been made in England
to determine definitely the friction of lubri-
Gated bearings, and with the special appa-
ratus employed in this inquiry, the result
showed that with careful fabrication steel
shafts running in gun metal bearings at
from fifty to 800 revolutions per minute
would seize with the following loads: Col
lar bearings, 100 pounds per square inch;
footstep bearings, 200 pounds per square
inch; cylindrical bearings, 600 pounds per
square inch, while a pin working inter
mittently will stand about ten times the
above pressure without selling In all the
experiments the surface was taken as be-
ing the diameter by the length. 1t appears
that in the friction of solids it is directly
proportionate to the load, while with liquid
friction-that is, with perfect fabrication
where film of liquid intervenes between
the metallic surfaces-the friction is indie
pendent of load.
Again, these experiments showed that
in bearing with the load applied above, as
in rolling stock, there was an upward
pressure of more than 500 pounds, a hole
being bored in the crown of the journal
and pressure gauge inserted showing as
much as GOO pounds pressure per square
inch in bearing four inches in diameter
by six inches long, total pressure of up
ward of six tons being thus supported by
fluid pressure of the lubricant

The Penalty of Greatness.

It is from his work that a great man de
rives his satisfaction. A great man desires
to do great work. 1t is natural that he
should like his work to receive the appro-
baton of those whose appreciation is worth
having. The mass of the people of this
world are eternally playing the game of
follow my leader. 1t is not unlikely that
he will receive the at least simulated ap-
probation of number of people whose ap-
probation Is not worth having, and these
are the people who will extort from him
the penalties of greatness-yes, to the ut
most farthing! People of this sort seem to
feel a species of proprietorship in the man
whom they profess to admire; they crack
the whip and they expect him instantly to
dance. II he is dramatic author, these
are the sort of people who call him before
the curtain-and won't they hiss him if he
declines to come? If he is politician, these
are the sort of people who want him to ex
press his opinion on the condition of MAZDA
gascar-at any rate upon post Garland
don't they vote against him if he WON'T
If he is an author they want his auto
graph, his photograph, presentation copy
of his works, his verdict upon their hand
writing, upon things in general and upon
1900 pages of their MS.-and won't they
worry him till they attain the object Of
their hearts desire' If he is painter
just a sketch. An actor-an order now and
then. A singer-a free song at their ''at

in their album. An inventor-the secret
Orwell, at least one of his inventions. A
general-a leg up for Harry. A bishop
oh, won't he offer prayer. There is only
one thing which these people do not want
in connection with the great men whom
they profess to admire-they don't want to
let them alone.-All the Year Round.

Drinking from the Loving Cup.

Every prosperous club has its loving
cup, but how many of the guests who
see it grazing the banquet know its
origin or the graceful ceremonial which
should be observed in drinking from it,
The cup should have two handles and
cover, and is handed to the principal
guest as the toasts begin. The guest
takes it by both handles, and standing
turns to the person nearest, who also
stands, and both bow. Then, while the
second guest removes the lid, the first
one drinks, and with another bow passes
the cup to his neighbor, who replaces
the lid and presents it in turn to the
next guest, and so the ceremony is re-
peated.
In the old days of chivalry and of
treachery, as a man while drinking
from the two handled cup was prac-
tically defenseless, his companion was
required to remove the cover with his
sword hand that he might not take ad-
vantage of the other. 1t is very pretty
ceremony when gracefully performed

Instead Of brown locks waving wild and free,
Close TO her head coil round the golden hair;
And may she tower stately, grand and tail;
l shall not mind that / was frail and small
When / am deadl
So that she come not nesting to thy side,
Nor climb up to the level of thy heart,
And lavish kisses without stint or pride,
Or beg sweep pity for some pain or smart,
AS was wont-nor Loves expression crave
To be, as l, Loves gladly fettered slave
When am deadl
Nay, love her as thou wilt, and as she viii,
With fullest need, and with a conscience

Fen though thy memory hold my memory

In quiet corner garnered, close and dear
II true heart should give thee of its best,
