LYNCH LAW.
II May Have Taken It's Name From a
Mayor OF Galway,

II May Have Taken It's Name From a
Mayor of Galway,
About the year 1900 one James Fitz-
stephens Lynch was mayor of the town
of Galway, in Ireland. He had sent his
son on trading expedition to Spain
with good cargo and large sum of
money. The young man returned with
ship load of valuable commodities,
which he reported as having been pur-
chased with the money and with the
proceeds of the outgoing cargo. After
some time Spaniard came along, de-
handing payment from the mayor for
the goods he alleged had been bought
on credit by his son. The mayor de
clined payment, as his son averred he
had paid in cash for the goods. Unfor-
tunately for the latter, sailor who
had been one Of the crew on eXamina-
ton by Mayor Lynch declared that his
unworthy son had spent in reckless
debauchery not only the money intrust
ed to him, but the proceeds of the
cargo as well; that he1Rad then bought
goods from large firm on credit, and
that when one of the partners of the
firm came down to the ship before sail
ing to receive the money young Lynch
murdered the man and had him thrown
overheard to conceal the facts from
his father.
The young man was Immediately ar
rested and brought before his father,
who, Notwithstanding the fearful en-
treaties Of his wife and daughters, SEN
fenced him to death. He took him up
stairs in his warehouse, adjusted a
rope around his neck, having first Sc
young man out of the window. where
his dying struggles were witnessed by
the inhabitants of the town of Galway.
In the town records this entry is yet
to be seen:

The Point of View.

Two window washers were at worB
on the lodges of the sixteenth story
windows of a downtown office building
about ten feet from each other. AS they
hung to their straps and washed and
polished the glass they could look into
the offices, where a number Of clerks
were bending over ledgers and books.
For a half hour they worked and
watched the clerks, who did not move
from their confined position over their
books. Finally one big window washer
leaned back as far as his strap would
permit and called to his fellow:

General Grants Supreme Courage

NChCEhA supreme
General Grants courage was su
preme. No man could face danger witt
greater composure. He did not seen
to know the meaning of peril wher
duty called him to risk his life. At ont
time saw the general escape death by
a very slight margin. We were break
ing camp at Spottsylvania Court House
and under the fire of a Confederate
battery. All of the headquarters equi
page had been removed except camT
stool, and on this the general was sit
ting, while the shells of the enemy't
guns shrieked over our heads. A shell
passed just over the general, not miss
ing him apparently by more than few
inches, and struck the ground about
thirty feet away. Without showing
the slightest nervousness he called tc
me to get the shell, saying, Lets
see what kind Of ammunition that bat
terry is using" went and picked up
the shell. which was six pound spher'
ical case, and the general examined il
as coolly as If there was not an enemy's
gun within 100 miles of him.-National

FLORAHOME LETTER.


Editor OF the News:-
With a plentiful supply of rain
and the usual hot sun, all crops on
our hammock lands show won
derful growth. M. NJ. Robinson
has ears of corn II to IA inches in
length and ~ to 3l4 inches in diam
eter. While Florida is not consider
ed a corn state my experience north
as compared with Mr.. Robinsons re-
suits here would indicate it to be
equally as good. With corn ranging
from 20 to 80 cents per bushel it is
sure that acre for acre the results in
cash value will exceed that of Hi
nois or other so-called corn states.
