IL was broad daylight when We reached

the prison we're impatiently awaiting US

than tho CORPORAL in charge of the escort,

toward me with al sorts OF apologies and
take off the handouts.
What! Is i your" exclaimed the
public prosecutor. "llave these idiots
really arrested you? But how did it come
about-what ia the meaning of it?"
Explanations followed. On the previous
dsv the public prosecutor had received
a telegram from Porto Vecchio informing
him OF the presence OF Quastana in the
locality, and giving precise details as to
where and when he could be found.
The name of Porto Neccbio opened nv

Then, turning to the corporal, aud point
ing TO Matteo, he said: Take this fellow

laughing-stock OF the place. Matteo was
acquitted, but he could no longer be OF
use to us, because Quastsna was fore
warned. He had TO quit The country.
AS for Qusstsna he was never caught.
He knew the country. and every peasant
was secretly ready to assist him; and. al.

was still at liberty, and have never heard
anything about his capture since.

We went outside. Il was very dark and
windy; We stumbled along a stony path
for about three miles-a narrow path, full
of small stones and overgrown with lux

from going quickly.
That's my house." said Matteo, point

illuminated Typewriting in London.

A device for producing illuminated
tyDewriting by one and the same machine
has been invented by Mr.. Lea. 1t con-
sists in having two linking tapes. which
are placed side by side parallel with each
other and so mounted in a movable frame
that by pressing q small lever above the
key-b board either of them can be brought
ilto use Assuming black to be the dom
inant color and red TO be used for capital
letters. then one linking tape would be
black and the other red. When a capital
letter, a numeral or a prominent character
occurred, by shifting the lever the red
tape would be brought over the types in
place OF the black one, which would be
simultaneously retired beyond the reach
OF the types. Surprising several colOrs TO
be required for producing varied illumin-
ated effects, then the two tapes would
carry these colOrs between them, a given
length of each tape being charged with
ink of a different color. To bring the re-
CURED color over the types the tapes are
shifted laterally-that is, they are wound
from right TO left or from left to right as
may be necessary, until the proper color
comes into position. The invention is
useful where multicolor typewriting is re-
Quired, and many attractive effects can be
produced. 1t is stated that the device can
be applied to all the leading typewriting
machines.

The governor OF Texas has promised
to bring to justice the leaders OF the
mob that burned and tortured to death
Henry Smith. at Paris, last week, but it
ia not likely that anything will ever
come Of the matter. II is matter in
which the whole country is concerned,
and public sentiment throughout the
union is indignant over the outrage,
whatever the people Of Texas may think
Oft. n
Newspapers, north and south, have
united in announcing the affair rs a
national disgrace, and tho governor OF
Texas owes it not alone to Texas, but to
the country, to yindicate the dignity Of
the law. The New York Herald, in a
lengthy editorial, denounces the outrage
committed by the mob in u way which
will find endorsement in the minds OF
all good citizens, when it says: "rhat
it should be possible in America, within
sight OF free schools and churches, is
something so abhorrent 10 every sense
OF deccncy, to every sentiment OF man
hood, that we shudder at the thought
and turn sick at the recital. +" o
1t ia seam OF lead in our block Of gold,
q satire on our civilization, an act so
base and unworthy that it can DO APP
plauded only by the denizens OF the in
fernal regions"
The deed committed by the negro
was one OF the most horrible and brutal
in the history OF crime, but the laws OF
the country provided for its punish
ment Thepunishment adopted by the
citizens OF Paris was atrocious in its
nature, and disgraceful and demoraliz-
ing in its effect.
An act, even when the result of
popular uprising in acommunity, which
horrihes allthe world and is denounced
by respecters OF law and order every
where, is disgrace to the people
permittingit and q shame to ctviliza-
ton. No matter what provocation the
mob had for its barbarous conduct the
governor Of Texas should do his duty.
Mob law is becoming too popularin this
country, and it is time for something to
be dono looking to a restoration OF civ
ilized methods OF dealing with offenders.
