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

lent Nor Moblike.
Lynch law had its origin in Virginia,
according to tho conclusions of a 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 its
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 bis residence in
Pittsylvania county. The region in
which he lived became at one period of
the 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 ap-
peared the terror stricken inhabitants
were plundered, 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 miscreants as
would relieve a community already suf-
fering from the effects of hostile inva-
sion. Colonel Lynch was the man to
take the lead in such an emergency.
He succeeded in organizing body of
patriotic citizens, men of known char
acter and standing.
Having laid his plans before them
and securing their approval, he at once
proceeded to put them into execution.
At the head of his followers he prompt
ly got upon the track of the unsuspect-
ing enemy, captured many and caused
the 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 a stake
and shot, as is now done under the 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 were tried separately, the ac-
cused 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

Tho oldest Trees In the world.

The bo tree of Anuradapura was
planted 2sS should be 245, Davids)
years before Christ. Its age is matter
of record, its conservancy has been an
object of solicitude to several dynasties,
and the story of its vicissitudes has
been preserved in series of continuous
chronicles among the most authentic
that have been handed down by man
kind. The yew trees of Fountains alb
bey are believed to have fourished there
1900 years ago. The olives in the
garden of Gethsemane were full grown
when the Saracens were expelled from
Jerusalem, and the cypress of Sorna, in
Lombardy, is said to have been tree
in the time of Julius Cesar, yet the
DO tree is older than the Oldest of these by
a century, and would almost seem to
verify the prophecy pronounced when
it was planted that it would flourish
and be green forever. .'-Rhys Davis

A Curious Procession.

A curious procession once took place
at Brussels. One part of the display
consisted of car containing an organ
played by bear. There were no pipes
to the instrument, but number of cats,
each inclosed IN a 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 the poor ami
mails. Brussels Correspondent.

HOW AN ENcLlsHMAN LIVES.
The whole Globe Plays Him Serving Man
TO Spread His Table.

Without being luxurious, the whole
siooe has played him serving man to
spread his table. Russia gave the hemp,
o. India or South Carolina the cotton.
for that cloth which his wife lays upon
it. The eastern islands placed there
those condiments and spices which were
once the secret relishes of the wealthy.
Australian downs send him frozen NUT
ton or canned beef, the prairies of
America meal for his biscuit and pud-
ding, and if he will eat fruit the or
chards of Tasmania and the palm
woods of the West Indies proffer de-
licious gifts, while the orange groves of
Florida and of the Hesperides cheaper
for his use those golden apples" which
dragons used to guard.
His coffee comes from where jew
eled humming birds hang in the bow
ers of Brazil or purple butterflies fiut-
ter amid the Javan mangroves. Great
clipper ships, racing by night and day
under clouds of canvas, convey to him
the tea from China or Assam, or from
the green Singhalese hills. The sugar
which sweetens it was crushed from
canes that waved by the Nile or the
Orinoco, and the plating of the spoon
with which he stirs it was dug for
him from Mexican or Nevadan mines.
The currants in his dumping are
tribute from classic Greece, and his
timed salmon or kippered herring to-
ken from the seas and rivers of Canada
or Norway. He may partake, if he
will, of rice that ripened under the hot
skies of Patna or Rangoon, of cocoa,
that food of the gods, "plucked under
the burning blue Of the equator. For
his rasher of bacon the hog express runs
daily with 10, 900 grunting victims into
Chicago. Dutch or Brittany hens have
laid him eggs, and Danish cows grazed
the daisies of Elsinore to produce his
cheese and butter.
If he drinks beer, it is odds that Bel
gium and Bavaria have contributed to
it the barley and the hops, and when he
has finished eating it will be the Mis-
sissippi fats or the gardens of the An
titles that fill for him his pipe with the
comforting tobacco Sir Edwin Arnold

the creases have been made until they
disappear, and then submit the draw

We Like oil, -.

This country has become within three
decades one of the most important olive
consuming countries of the world. When
olives were first imported into the Unit
ed States, they were luxury of the
rich. They are still consumed in cities
rather than in the country districts,
and New York, with its great popula-
tion of people from the Mediterranean
regions, is of all American cities by far
the greatest consumer of olives.
