A Curious Procession.

A curious procession once took place
at Brussels. One part Of the display
consisted of a car containing an organ
played by bear. There were no pipes
to the instrument, but number of cats,
each inclosed in narrow cage, an
swered the purpose. They were so ar
ranged that when the bear touched the
keys of the organ the cats tails were
pulled, and the result was anything but
choice music, to say nothing of the cru
city thus practiced on tho poor ami
mails. Brussels Correspondent.

FLAIN SPEAKING.
Ten Cents Load Wasn't So Very Bad For
Him.

Aeh GENTS II LonU wasn't SO Very Bad For
Him.
The amount of plain speaking that peo-
pie will bear from one of whose good will
they are assured is sometimes Il surprise to
others. In "Recollections of My Mother"
Susan Lesley says that her mother had the
greatest affection for both David Lee Child
and his wife, the gifted Lydia Maria, but
was often much tried with the amount of
Ilme, hard labor and money which Mr..
Child expended on scheme after scheme,
none of which ever succeeded.
One day Mrs. Child came in to spend n
quiet afternoon with my mother. They sat
with their sewing and knitting ut the west
window, while sat with one or two friends
in the hall near the open door. There had
been long silence, when we heard nv
mother say:
Mrs. Child, can you tell me what is the
last thing that your husband is engaged IMP"
An amused smile played over Mrs. Child's
face.
Yes, Mrs. Lyman; he is carting stone for
the new railroad.''
Ooh" said my mother Another pause;
then Mrs. Child, how much do YOU sup
pose your husband loses on every load of
stone he carts to the railroadP"
Another amused look on the dear lydia
Maria's face, and she answered cheerily,
We'll, Mrs. Lyman. rs near as l can com
pute it, he must lose about 10 cents on every
load"
"Oh-well-now-Mr Child" said nv
mother, in the bravest and most cheerful
tone, IF your husband has got hold of any
innocent occupation by which he only loses
III cents on load, for heavens sake en-
courage him i'll it."-Youths Companion.

ORIGIN OF LYNCH LAW.
1t Began In Virginia and Was Neither vio-
lent Nor Mobilize.

1t Began In Virginia and Was Neither vio-
lent Nor Mobilize.
Lynch law had its origin in Virginia.
according to tho conclusions of gen
tleman who has been investigating the
early history of that state. 1t was not
mob law, as it is now understood. 1t
was orderly, methodical and fair in it's
processes and was strongly opposed to
violence or mob rule. Its distinctive
feature was simply that its DEGREES and
findings were executed sternly and
swiftly upon the spot of their delivery.
Charles Lynch, whose name is asso-
ciated with the summary proceedings
now known as acts of Lynch law, ;"
was Revolutionary soldier and after
the war ended took up his residence in
Pittsylvania county. The region in
which he lived became at one period of
tho Revolution infested by bands of
Tories and outlaws, whose depredations
upon the defenseless people extended
from the lower parts of North Carolina
and Virginia to the passes of the Blue
Ridge and the headwaters of the
James and other mountain streams.
Deserters from both armies added
strength and semblance of organization
to their operations. Wherever they APP
pearcd the terror stricken inhabitants
were plundcred, harassed and merci-
lessly subjected to every variety Of in
suit and outrage. A remedy was need
ed for this insufferable state of things,
remedy that should at once strike
such terror to these niscreunts as
would relieve Il community already suf-
fering from the effects of hostile inva-
sion. Colonel Lynch was tho man to
take tho lead in such an emergency
He succeeded in organizing a body of
patriotic citizens, men of known char
acter and standing.
Having laid his plans before them
and securing their approval, he ut once
proceeded to put them into execution.
AT the head of his followers he prompt
~ got upon the track of the unsuspect-
ing enemy, captured many and caused
tho others to flee from the country
When any of these outlaws fell into
his hands, they were not taken at once
to tree and hanged or tied to stake
and shot, as is now done under tho per-
verted system of the present day This
was not according to the code of Colo
mel Lynch and his followers.
So far from such lawless procedure
jury was selected from Lynch's men,
over which he presided as judge. The
captives wcro tried separately, the ac-
cuscd allowed to make his own defense
and to show cause, if he could, why he
should not be punished. If found
guilty, the punishment was inflicted on
the spot. The general impression has
been that in all cases of lynch law the
penalty was death. This is mistake.
A writer who knew Colonel Lynch we'll
was assured by him that he never will
ingly condemned q criminal to capital
punishment; that prisoners were fire.
