Judge Lynch's First aaliows.

''Lynch law" is a synonym for tho
prompt and effectual infiction of the
popular will without due recourse to the
legal tribunals of justice. Out West
"Judge Lynch" is supposed by grim,
popular fiction to be the presiding Off
Ger, but who he originally was history
says not. Theories are ''as thick as the
leaves of Vallsmbrosa." That, however,
which bears upon its face the expression
of greatest credibility is one which goes
back to the colonial times.
On the lawn before the old family
mansion in LYnchburg, Va, still stands
the famous walnut tree under which
Tories and other miscreants were pun,
ished. Death was never inflicted.
"Thirty-nine strips on the bare back was
the usual penalty fer giving information
to the British or for minor crimes, the
culprit being tied to the tree" Part Of
it is dead, as it is at least $50 years old,
but the rest bears an annual crop of nuts.
After receiving punishment the victim
had to shout .'Liberty forever" Such Is
the Virglnian account of the origin Of
the phase "lynch law" and it is more

Onward TO the North Pole.

DR.. Trityof Nansen, who is known
from having traversed Greenland from
east to west. is of the opinion that all
the expeditions which have hitherto gone
out to find the north pole have gone the
wrong way. The pole can only be ap-
preached from Asia, he thinks. Some
objects found on the coast of Greenland
cannot have come from parts south af
that country, but only from the north.
It is concluded that they have most
likely been carried there by current
running from the northern coasts of ST.
IBERIA across, or around the pole toward
Greenland. DR.. Nansen proposes to go
to the mouths of the river Yenisei either
around the North Cape of Norway and
the coast of Russia or through Behring'S
Strait all along the northern coast of 81
IBERIA. Should he find the current which
he expects to discover he will steam
along it toward the pole. His steamer
holds about two hundred and fifty tons
and is built so that pressure from the
bottom must lift it out of the water be-
fore 1t can be crushed by ice. He will
take crew of twelve men and provisions
for six years. The engine also produces
electric light. A balloon and gas to
6ll it will be taken. Tents will be taken
for expeditions that may become neces-
sary, also sleighs and boats.-Chicago

It was an interesting occasion. The
Secretary of the Navy sent orders to the
New York Navy Yard to supply all the
National colors for trimming the the
atre. Mr.. Lewis F. Gottschalk, the
composer, wrote gavstte, which was
danced by young ladies and gentlemen
in colonial costumes, aud some Of the
best known amateurs in New York ap-
peared.
The entertainment was given under
the patronage of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution and was brought
about, says the New York World, by the
indefatigable labors Of Mrs. Roger A.
Pryor, who is absorbed in the praise
worthy work of raising funds to build e
suitable monument to the mother of
George Washington, monument which,
with the grounds and lodge, shall cost
not less than $50, 900, and which will be
the first monument ever erected to a
woman by women.
1t is to te erected on the spot near
Fredericksburg, Va, where Mary Wash
ington was wont to spend her hours in
meditation and prayer during the dark
days of the Revolution, where she de-
sired to be buried and where her lonely,
neglected grave is now marked only by
a tumbledoWn, uncompleted monument,
blackened and riddled by the scot and
shell from both Confederate and Federal
armies.

The Century Plant Is Valuable.

The century plant is q species of cac-
tus, which natures at different ages IN
different climates. In tropical countries
it attains its perfect state in about ten
wears, while in colder climates it often
requires from seventy years to full CEN
tury to reach its maturity. When the
plant has matured it sends up stem
which grows to the height of from
tweny.four to thirty-six feet, out OF
which grows numerous branches, form
ing a perfect cylindrical pyramid, and
each is crowded with cluster OF green
ish, yellow flowers, which continues IN
perfect bloom for several months. After
lowering the plant always dies to the
ground, but the rort continues to live
and send up new shots. The century
plant, or Agave Americana, its botanical
name, grows through all the central part
of the American Continent, from Mexico
to Chile. It is called the maguey in
South America and the mezcal in Mexico.
From the leaf fibres of the plant coarse
fax is made. The dried flower stems
make a thatch which is perfectly i'm
nervous to rain. From its sap is OBJ.
tanned a fermented liquor known as
puloue. From the centre OF the stem,

extract of the leaves is made into soap

Colonel Custis, DR.. Losing and other
writers have emphasized the transmitted
accounts of her death, telling how
"clergymen throughout the land spoke
eloquently from their pulpits of the
honored dead, while members of Con-
gress and many private citizens wore the
usual badge of mourning in respect of
her memory" In long letter to his
sister-receutly given in Ford's publica-
tion-Washington speaks religiously and
tendcrly of their mothers death and her
Christian character.
For many years her grave remained
unmarked. About the year 1880 there
was plan proposed to remove the re-
mains, and to place them in a vault
under the Presbyterian Church; but to
this the Washington family positively re-
fused to consent. Many other sugges-
tions and proposals were made, but moth
ing was done till at last, in 1888, the
Hon. Silas E. Burrows, of New York,
offered to raise a monument at his
private expense. The cornerstone was
laid with imposing ceremonies BY the
President of the United States, Geberal
Andrew Jackson, in the presence of the
relatives, many distinguished guests and
large concourse of people.

Remarkable Case Of Longevity.

Gases OF longevity always have a pc.
culiar interest for the public apart alto
Aether from :helr scientific value as
showing the possible extent to which
the human life may be prolonged. News
received from Drezaica in the district
Mostar, in Hertzegovinia tells of apeasant
named Anton Jurictch who, If the docu-
ments he has made are to be credited, and
there seems to be no reasonable grounds
for disbelief, is 13O years old. One would
think that at such patriarchal age lie
had been exempted from all the tolls of
life, yet such is by no means the case,
for this old man still works in the vine-
yard as he has been accustomed to do
for generations past, and he goes to
church every Sunday, although it takes
him two hours to walk the distance
which separates it from his home. His
eyes are still bright and he can see at a
considerable distance. His eyebrows,
however, in all these years have become
long and very bushy, and they meet
over his nose and hang down so far that
they have had to be cut 80 as not to OBJ

sit and talk with the young people, to
whom he tells interesting anecdotes of
his young days, and the incidents he
remembers. His mother died good

was almost completed. the generous
donor, meeting with sudden and severe
reverse of fortune, was unable to finish
the work of placing the obelisk upon its
handsome base. Hoping to rally from
his financial prostration, MIR. Burrows re.
quested the committee to wait awhile
until he could have the work finished,
but not long afterward he died before
recovering anything of his fortune.
Then disagreements arose regarding the
matter, and the shaft lay prone upon the
ground, slowly disintegrating for nearly
sixty years, until the women of the coun.
try rallied to the rescue, as they did for
Mount Vernon, and the Mary Washing
ton Monument Association, organized a
few years ago and now successfully
working, will before long complete their
patriotic plan, and perfectly restore the
now mutilated monument.

A hand wheel with worm aud gear

also rotated in complete circle. A

LOOKING UNTO JESUS.

LOOKING UNTO JESUS.
A lady had dream, in which she fancied
herself &C the bottom of deep pit. She
looked around 10 see if there were any way
of getting out; but in vain. Presently, look
ing upward, she saw in that part Of the
heavens Immediately above the mouth of the
pit beautiful, bright star. Steadily gazing
at it, she felt herself to be gradually lifted
upward. She looked down to ascertain how
it was, and Immediately found herself at the
bottom of the pit. Again her eye caught
sight of the star, and again shc felt herself
ascending. She had reached considerable
height. Still deslrous Of an explanation OF
80 strange a phenomenon, she turned her
eye downward, and fell to the bottom with
fearful violence. On recovering from the effect
OF the shock, she bethought herself as to the
meaning of it all, and once again turned her
eye to the star, still shining 80 brightly
above, and yet once again she felt herself
borne upward. Steadily did she keep her
eve upon It's light, until at length she found
herself out of the horrible pit, and her feet
safely planted on the solid ground above. It
taught her the lesson that, in the hour OF
danger aad trouble, deliverance Is to be
found, and found only in looking to Jesus
