ers Of the south. Lynch law is not the

OF the south. That it has been frequently
resorted %, TO the yorrow and hurt Of the
south, Is lamsltabiy true; but it has
never beeC upheld by anybody or any
agency except the mobs. The press. the
pulpit, the mass Of the people and the state
governments have always opposed punish
ment for crime in any other way than
through the regularly constituted and legal
channel, no matter how horrId the crime
and how clear the proof against the culprit.
IL the sentiment Of Paris has been correctly
reported, Paris should be held 10 contempt
by the whole south until she has purged
herself thereof. And it is to be hoped that
the inquiry into tae lynching will 60 on to
its logical conclusion, even though the whole

were in sore straits, surrounded upon all sides

tust after the battle of Gettysburg Within
their lines was an orderly who had been raised
at a ford surrounded by perpendicular cliffs
near the Pennsylvania border. He told the
confederate general that II they could strike
that particular place there would be a fair
chance OF escape, providing there were none Of
the enemy near by. A accommodating party
returned with the report that the coast was
clear, but that the men would have to pass

march AS they reached the ford they were
6stonished to see on the cliffs above them the

VIII There Pc an Extra Sess On ?
TIE talk Of an extra session has been re-
vived by the refusal Of congress 10 repeal
the silver purchase act. 1t is known that
Mr. Cleveland regards the financial situa-
ton as critical, and a condition Of affairs
may arise that will make an extra session
unavoidable. He is against an extra session
to consider the tariff matter, because be

In our dispatches yesterday It was stated
that the amount OF free gold In the treas
ury was so small that the secretary had IN
der consideration the advisability Of issuing
bonds for gold. 1t seems that he has
already received considerable assistance
from some Of the New York banks.
When it was suggested some time ago
that he was preparing to sell bonds to get
gold the point was raised that be has no

that point against those raising the objec-

There is great deal Of gold in the coun-

idea how much more Europe will take from
US, nor how great drain of gold we can
stand without serious financial distur bances.
Those are questions that will claim the i'm

TO say, however, that there will be no extra
session unless one is imperatively demanded

The Marseilles Epidem,c.

The disease which is prevailing in Mar
settles is not called cholera. but it is 80 like
cholera that it will probably be called by
that name IL it continues 30 spread through
the city. Already a great many people
have been attacked by it, and the death rate
is exceedingly high. Doubtless the effort to
create the impression that it is not cholera
will be continued as long as it is possible to
do so. In our dispatches yesterday it
was stated that six deaths had
occurred from the disease Thursday and
a Paris paper stated recently that fifty per-
sons had died from it IN two days. An ex-
pert has been sent from Paris to determine
its exact nature, and his report is waited
for with considerable anxiety in nearly all
parts Of the world.
Ii it should be determined that the disease
is the genuine Asiatic cholera all seaports
would quarantine against Marseilles, be-
cause that city has close communication by
steam with nearly all seaports
The very general impression is that Mar
settles is not in a good sanitary condition,
aud that if the cholera should get firm
foothold there it would stay for long
time and would assume very virulent
character. According to the reports the
conditions for its spread there are extremely
favorable.
The steamers from Marsellles arrive at
New York every few days, and the health
authorities Of the latter city are anxious
that the question of the nature of the dis
ease shall be determined as soon as possible.
The impression seems to he that the disease
is cholera. If it is there ought not to be
any unnecessary delay in declaring it to be

WHY Lamar Wore Long Hair.

The late Justice Lamar did not often boast Of
his prowess. There is, however, young lady
now prominent in Washington society to whom
as little girl he revealed one blood curdlinR
"Reminiscences, says Kate Fields Washington
He was accustomed TO visit her fathers house,
and had often noticed her gazing curiously at
his hair, which he wore very long and fat to the
sides of his head. One day he said to her.

me something. What is it,"
IF you please, Mr.. Lamar" she answered,
why do you wear your hair that way at the

Lamar drew on his most serious expression.
and, in a low. hoarse whisper. between his
lifted palms, hs replied:
because. my dear, I-once-had-a-ffRht

For long time afterward the little girl was
struck with a chill of horror every time she
looked at him, until one day, in the midst OF a
gesture, he swung his hair back far enough to
assure her that his head was supplied with its
normal complement of members. But she
never, to the day of his death, entirely got over
the effect made upon her by the pretended
dread secret.
