I glene across a trio of reminiscent
enana;;ers the other night just in time to
hear the following, which the narrator,
i3trn Stern, of the Carleton company, says
he has never seen in print:
"Andy McKay(' was managing 'The
Bever Ravens' when they got stranded
in Chicago. He didn't lose his appetite
over tho event, however, and he sat in a
restaurant eating one night when Wain-
ratta, the rope walker, who was one of
the company, cani.e in in great distress
rind asked McKaye how an earth he wan
to get balk to New York. It was the
first time he was ever stuck in this way
and he couldn't stay in Chicago and
starve.
'Well, there's nothing to keep you
from going back to New York,' staid Mc -
Kaye; 'the company's broken up and the
way is open.'
"'But, great heavens, I haven't a cent!'
” 'Naw, look here,' said McKaye;
'.aren't you the greatest wire walker in
America?'
"'Of course,' Wainratta said.
"'Well, there are wires all the way
from hero to New York. I'd advise you.
by the way, to travel at night; the tele-
graph company charges only half raters
then.' "—Philadelphia Press.

Origin of the "fortes: "'Anna taw,"
It is not generally known that then ,,
tterin "lynch law" originated fn Camp-
bell county, Va., before the Rsvolutaoti-
Ivry war. M Hutt period the country
was thinly settled and was infested with
Tories and desperadoes—too many of
them,apparently., for the :local authori-
ties, to adequately punish. Cot, Charles
Lynch, a distinguished officer of the
Revolutionary army, undertook to aid
his country of the outlaws. He organ-
ized a force, arrested the outlaws, and
having satisfied himself and a mrades of
the guilt of the accused, executed them
without reference to theconstituted au-
thorities, While not altogether approv-
ing of the desperate remedy for des-
perate cause, the beneficial effect of Col.
Lynch's action wan recognized and hart
since been known as "Lynotee law" or
"lynch law."
Lynch's pr000esa of meting out speedy
justice extended to other parts of the
country, and is a well recognized form
of redress of grievances today, particle
larly for that class of offenses that are
popularly believed not to be adequately
punished by the statutes and courts of
the state. Col. Lynch's brother gave his
name to Lynchburg, and left a on who
was subsequently governor of Louisiana.

A Compound Fracture Cured.
In 1844 a milk dealer was thrown from
his wagon in New York city, sustaining
a compound fracture of the neck, leaf•
ing the spinal cord uninjured, however,
ese.ept a pressure, which caused paraly-
sis until the difficulty was removed.
The patient was only unconscious for a
short tiine, forty-eight hours :according
to one account and eighteen according
to another, At that time Dr. Watts was
the head and shouldered the College of
Physicians and Surgeons. The case be-
ing considered one,of unusual interest
Watts was called to make an examina-
tion. Although' the plaster bandages
were known to the surgeons at that time
by some oversight they wore not used,
For ninety days the hapless milkman
lay fiat on his back., and for sixty days
more he did not attempt to rise except
by the aid of bandages under his chin
and the back of his head, which were at-
tached to pulley ropes fastened in the
ceiling. Within a year from the clay the
accident occurred the milk cart made its
regular rounds, having for a driver the
man who had survived a supposed fatal
accident.—John W. Wright in St. Louis
Republic.
Irvine's yinoerity.
Washington Irving was good natured
and delighted to do little deeds of kind-
ness; but he was also a sincere man, and
would not pay even conventional com-
pliments unless they were merited.
Once, while fn London, he and a lit=
erary friend were invited by a merchant
to drive to his country house and spend
a day or two there. The carriage stop-
ped at the gate of the merchant's park.
The host alighted, and asked his 'guests
if they would walk through the grounds
to the house. The friend started to get
out, but Irving held him down by the
coat, and they both drove en to the house:
the merchant followed on foot.
"I make it a principle," said Irving,
when they were out of hearing, "never
to walk with a man through his own
grounds. 1 have no idea of praising a
thing whether I like it or not. You and
.1* will do them to -morrow by ourselves."
—Youth's Companion.
*Outrageous.
The unknown or unusual has always
great weight. and the Billingsgate fish-
wife who was reduced to silence by
hearing herself called a "parallelo-
gram," showed a shrinking common to
humanity.
"Jim Farley's been callin' me names!"
sobbed a little colored boy, coining home
from school one day.
"What did he call you—nigger?" asked
the sylnpathizing mother.
"No: wuss'n that."
"Blackie?"
"N e.
"Soot bag? Ink bottle?'
"No, nor""
""What wins it, then?'
"He called me," sobbed the wretched
• boy, "he called me Ethiopian!"—Youth's
Companion.
The grizzly bear is following in the
footsteps of the buffalo and gradually
