Young Ruffin's mother -in-law was sick,
Her health had struck flaw
And with the kind concern that moves
The average son-in-law
He stra1ghtway to the settlement
On double-quick did chase,
And brought doctor back with him
To diagnose the case.
With anxious mien he waited then
Until the doctor grave
Had seen the patient, and in turn
This honest verdict gave:
She needs no medicine, young man,
Therell be no help for her,
Unless you forthwith send her to
A warmer climate, sir"
No word young Ruffin spoke, but to
The woodshed he made tracks,
And straightway coming back did brin,
A newlyssharpened axe,
This handing to the man who did.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

The first of the treasury De-
partment documents of Series 1898
"a is the Summary Statement Of
the Imports and Exports of the
United States for July, 1898, cor
rected to Aug. 80, 1S93," and a
very edify,ng document it lie. and a
pleasing view it gives of the ways
by which the apparent prosperity
of this country was effected under
Republican administ ration.
In January, 1892, the State De-
partment decided that Collectors
might waive the formality of res
quiring a currency certificate to ac-
company invoices in all cases where
the articles imported were admitted
free of duty or under a specific
duty.
In three months Mr.. Charles
Heath, United States Consul at
Catania, warned the Department
OF the inevitable effect upon statis~
tical returns, but of course the
country must prosper in an election
year, and the Department was con-
veniently deaf, and prosperity set
in with violence.
The millreis of Brazil skips like
kid from value to value, and
seldom remains in one place, even
in the interval between the weekly
and semi>weekly revolutions, but
it's average value for the year is
forty-five per cent, of its face
value, and every pound of Rio
coffee and Para rubber was in.
voiced as if the millreis were al
par. In short the coffee and
rubber imports from Brazil, dur'
, ing the fiscal year 1898, should be
J reduced by about $75, 100000.
The silver rouble of Russia is al
yivacious as the miilreis but with
in smaller limits; and at its best i
is worth but fve~sevenths as muci
as the gold rouble; the premium OF
god at Buenos Ayres fuctuatee
from 1913 to 215 during the las
week of January, 1898; the Chiliar
peso, nominally ninety>two cents
was worth thirty in 1892 ant
is now worth twentyrnine; th'
paper sucre OF Ecuador was no
quite worth two-thirds its fac
value in June, and as for Italy ant
r Turkey, their currency is no NOR
q stable than Russia's.
Wherefore, when any persol
9 talks about the enormous increas'
in the value of imports in 1892, i
q is well to recommend him to rea'
r the letter of the Chief of Bureau t
l the Secretary of State, dated Aua
e Is. 1898.
e Also, If any importer be incline

e olive oil, or any article importe
:, from country having depre
e ciated currency free of duty c
n under specific duty, his customer

Lynch Law in the South .

The Mayor of Roanke failed,
after all, to keep his town free from
the reproach of lynch law. He
meant we'll, but he did not go
about it in the right way, Lynch.
ing is generally done under excite
ment and the effect Of musketry in
cooling the excitement of mob is
always doubtful, The resolute
courage of few men will often
accomplish more than a batta ion
Of militia can DO.
The loss of life at Roanoke is
thus all the more to be lamented
because of its f:uit 'cssnees. 1T the
civil authorizes in the Ssuthern
States would always resointely en-
force their civil powers and see
that Justice was administered
quickly. bnt in an orderly way,
they could make the resort to lynch
ing m1ch lees frtquent. For a
Mayor to call out the militia it
itself departure from law that in-
cites to lawiessness. It might be
justified by success, but it is cons
demned by failure.
In the Louisiana case it does not
appear that thecivil authorities are
exerting themselves at all to secure
an orderly administration of JUS
tice. Here, however, the desperate
character of the fugitive criminal,
who murdered the Judge OF the
district in cold blood. affords some
pretext to the populace for taking
the law into their own hands, and
if the officials are not strong
enough to enforce their authority
they perhaps do wisely in abstain
ing from the attempt.
1t is easy at our safe distance te
moraljze on the state of society
which these events illustrate, but
we should probably view them in
different light if We were exposed
to similar conditions. While it i,

sad and sorrowful tldlngs. They told
Of trials and perplexities which encom.

down by the weight Of their woes, or
perhaps they were messengers sent to
tell us that the dark winged angel OF
death, In his journey over the earth, had
hidden one near and dear to Us to leave
all below aud Join the great assembly
gathering In that far distant land,
whence no traveller e'er returns; and
though long years have passed since we
first received that sad intelligence, our
eyes grow dim and tears will fall on the
timc-worn pages as we read them over
and over again, while the mystic wing.
Of memory bring before US the pain aud
anguish OF our heart as that page was
first opened to our view.

After the remains had been carefully

to SEQ her lot in the possession Of big,
rough looking fellow named Jim Dunn,
whose reputation was not OF the best.
Dunn had torn down Miss Blake's hand

She did not give up, however, but pa.

Finally she enlisted the sympathy Of

The men waited to hear no more. The
little mob marched to Jim Dunn's place
