Nine men have been hanged in Arkansas 1y lynchers within a month. In no case did llie Sheri(T make any determined effort to protect his prisoner, nor have the authorities moved to punish the murderers. A well at Castle Rock, Wis , runs down fort)' feet through shale, and then through forty feet of solid rock. At the junction of the two substances a stream of air pours in ho cold that ice forms, and so strong that light things are blown out of the well. A French agency lias managed to throw a little gayety into a pretty melancholy subject by publishing the following telegram : “ The Czar has received a fresh manifesto from the Executive Committee conceived in very moderate terms, and announcing to him that he his condemned to death.” A pair of lovers at Brownstown, Ind., were ordered by their parents to give up their courting because they were only fifteen years old. '1 he girl dutifully obeyed, and forbade the boy to see her, telling him that in three years she would again receive his attentions ; but lie would not submit to such a delay, and committed suicide under her window. An old Kentucky law makes it possible to sentence a man to imprisonment for life on his third conviction of grand larceny. The first time that this extreme penalty was im posed in many years was in the case of Elijah Carter, who stole a dozen pigeons, and the Court of Appeals has just decided that the statute is unconstitutional, because the punishment is unusual. Gilbert and Sullivan seem to have con cluded that their new comic opera. ‘‘ Patience,” which is as great a success in London as “ Pinafore,” would not make a hit on the American stage, as they have abandoned their dramatic right here by publishing the music, with accompanying works. The theme is the aithetic craze in England, and it probably would not be thought funny by the mass of Americans. Jim Offutt had taken several lives in the course of a lawless career. Therefore, when he took a seat on the porch of William 11. Current’s house, at Paris, Ivy., laid a gun across his lap, and announced that he was going to kill Current on his return from work, nobody doubted that he would keep his word. The wife ol Current begged him to go away, but he refused. Then she managed to surreptitiously send a warning to her husband. But the fright and excitement caused her own death in a few hours. The Duke of Cambridge, who commands the British army, admits that it has been thoroughly beaten by the Boers, but attributes this to the want of stability in the young troops, less from youth than from not know ing each other and their officers, and ir. a far greater degree from too much having been attempted against a foe of exceptional quality. The policy of fighting against large odds has been successfully pursued by England for centuries, but now that weapons are malting men more equal. “ it cannot,” says the Duke, “bo done with impunity.” A number of leading New York stock brokers have opened offices at Saratoga, mostly in the little side street leading past t he United States Hotel to the railroad station. These offices are handsomely fitted up, and each one has a private telegraph wire con necting with New York, and a special operator. Instead, therefore, of going to the telegraph •office in the hotel to write out and send their orders, whenever they desire to buy- or sell stocks, the occupants of the smoking piazza will need only to step across the street and communicate their wishes to their brokers in person. A great increase in the business will undoubtedly result, and Mr. Morrissey’s club house may find its patronage diminished. A fair young German maiden was arraigned before the District Court of Dortmund for stealing a watch from a youthful handicrafts man of that city. The person she had robbed proved to be her own affianced lover, who, upon discovering his loss, had forthwith notified it to the Dortmund police, without the faintest notion that the theft had been committed by his betrothed bride. Investiga tion resulted in the discovery of the stolen property at a pawnbroker’s shop, where the damsel had pledged it for a trifling sum. When brought to trial she avowed her guilt with many tears and sobs, alleging that, un able to purchase her wedding dress, and being ashamed to confess her poverty to her future husband, she had purloined his watch with the object of realizing a sufficient amount by its hypothecation to equip herself decently. It is pleasant to know that this piteous con fession was responded to in a gallant and magnanimous spirit by the despoiled bride groom, who declared that “ the prisoner was and ever would be his only love, and that he •would marry her out of hand if the Judge would consent to set her at liberty.” Without a minute’s delay, the tribunal annulled the arraignment, and the generous lover carried off his liberated larccnist in triumph. The latest accounts of the Rugby colony, in Tennessee, differ as to the probable failure ■or success of the enterprise, some making it appear that the colonists cannot much longer he kept together, while others are in accord with the following remarks of Hastings Hughes, a brother of Tom Hughes, the foun der: ” 1 was at first disappointed myself, but I have been reassured since my stay here. I do not agree that it would have been better to have sought a more prolific soil. The far mers on the prairie lands get demoralized. Their work is too easy. They can do very well on the five or six feet of black mould, but alter they have exhausted it they become dispirited. The natives go in for dipping snuff and drinking this horrible whiskey, or they could do much better with the soil. If a man told me he wanted to get rich in a short time, that he didn’t care for miasma and agues and chills and all that sort of thing, I would send him elsewhere, and he might do better in a shorter time, but English people who can take their time about it, and who wish to keep themselves and their children healthy, will do very much better here.” There are 150 English residents at Rugby, and about as many Americans. Thirty to forty of the Englishmen are said to be rich men’s sons gone wrong. Mr. Hughes holds funds in trust for them, and gives them just enough to cover their expenses at the hotel. Most of these fellows do not work, but spend their time hunting, fishing and drinking moon shine whiskey. They have no serious inten tion of becoming settlers.
