The Mobile Register thinks that if the negro who was lynched in Urtana, O., had been a white man he would have es- capped mob violence. This is not a cor rect diagnosis of the case. as the readi g of Macauley and the history of our own times proves. White men are Iynched for this crime as well as negroes. Nor was the lynching due to the delay of the law Instances have been known in which criminal on the way to the gallows has been taln-n from the officers and lynched. The fact is, there is such hatred against the perpetrator of this crime that even ,aw-abidiug citizens find it hard to re- strain themselves from taking v=ng e me :.

Good Words: A rich American pre-
sented himself one day at the studio of
Sir John Millais, and without preamble
began at once to speak.
''Sir,'' he said. Il wish to take present
back to my wife. She says she would
like to have my portrait painted by the
very best artist in the country. l have
been told that you are the man. When
II am at present very busy" said
Millais.

But l am very expensive artist.
How much do you charges"
A large price was named.

Not at ALL" said Millais; Il merely
mentioned it TO prevent misunderstood
f'How many sittings do you require?"
'.F:ye or six, at the least"
IF you can do it in fewer, so much the
better. for l am very busy man and
my time is valuable"
Millais enjoyed the manner in which
MS own plea of being busy was met and
agreed to paint him.

A look of recognition came.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
TT is extraordinary that a facetious
paragraph. written by some far west
ern humorist, should have been taken
up in New York and tortured into a
report of the death of Ellen Beach
Yaw, the soprano. The western hui
morist wrote something about the ia
tai straining of her throat while she
was taking one of her Eiffel-tower
notes. This fell into the hands of
New York man, who is destitute of a
a fact and printed it as news So the
thing spread and Miss Yaw will be
obliged to deny her death when she
appears again in public"
The paragraph to which the Chron-
icle refers was sent from Waterloo,
Iowa, to the Chicago Record as a tele-
gram. January II, and was as follows:
County Clerk H. D. Williams yester-
day received notice of the tragic death
of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw at Bingham
ton, N Y. She was singing before an
audience, and, in reaching the high
notes for which her voice was famous.
the jugular vein in her throat burst,
and she bled to death on the stage
before her hearers. Miss Yaw was
able to reach the highest note of any
cantatrice in the world, which was due
10 a peculiar formation of her throat.

gain both in the amount of deposits and
the number of depositors. His statement
furnishes the strongest kind of an argu-
ment for the introduction of the postal
savings system into the United States.

is the table showing the various classes
of the population who patronize the postal
savings banks. More than half. or I0.4

shipping employees: Isl per cent are en-
ployes of the civil service of the govern
ment: 1.s2 per cent are farmers; 155 per
cent are professional men, and 1.01 per
cent are school teachers.

Slst of December. 1886. was 6,ss2 035. out of "a
population of about 100000 souls. This
