Lynched for the Usual Crime. A lynching occurred at Wcliston, Ga., last Tuesday night about 12 o'clock. The house of Kev. B. M. 1'ierson was entered by Frank IlHl'dc mati, a negro, and an attempt was made to assault Mrs. Pierson. She alarmed the town and soon llardo man was caught. After confessing, he was swung to a tree by a small mob and bis body riddled with bul lets. I hu denian was a servant of the family, in whom the utmost con fidence was placed. Uev. Pierson was absent from home at. the time. One account of the affair is to tho effect that flardoman attornptod an assault upon a lady living near the Piersons, but was frightened off by her screams. Ile then proceeded lo the Pierson place, seized Mrs. Pier son, when ber little son, eight years old, came to her aid, helping lier to beat the negro off, while her two oilier stnr.il children raised the alarm. The negro, running from the house, sought refuge in a hole in a cotton Meld, but was tracked by the aroused citizens, who lost no time in putting bim to death. Does lt Pay to Buy Cheap ?

"The apostolic legation is looatcd boro. In addition to the. an cient Jesuit university, which was established at Georgetown during colonial days, we have now what is known as the Catholic University of Washington, a more extensive and wealthy institution, whose faculty represents the liberal element of the church, A year ago au enormous monastery of tho Order of St. Fran ois was occupied by several hundred monks, and is now the headquarters of the greatest foreign missionary agency of tho Catholic church, tho Franciscan Brotherhood. All their missionary work for the continents of America, Asia and Africa is di rected from here. The monastery, ono of tho most imposing ecclesiasti cal ed i li eos in this nation, and which cost over $250,000, is situated a mile or two beyond the Catholic Univer sity, near the soldiers' home. There is a good deal of mystery about the institution, which gives it, additional interest. The monks are seldom seen, except when they come or go through tito little village ol' Brook land, which is their railway station." Bound to bo Salo.

The Parnwoll People, published in a low, swampy country, knows what it is talking about when it. advises the people lo vote against tho Con stitution;.! amendment providing for the drainage of low-lands. The Peo ple says : "The proposed Constitutional amendment looking to tho drainage of swam}) lands has a lair face, but will not bear analysis. If adopted surveyors and speculators and con tractors will get faL jobs, and many land-holders will have their property con li Boated. Disastrous climatic ef fects would follow tho drainage and clearing up of the swamp lands. Freshets would soot) wash away their fertility, and droughts become longer, more frequent and destructive than they have boon, The State is be coming a treeless waste too fast al ready.

Lee, the great Southern commander, was buried at Lexington in a collin that was washed to that place by the great Hood of 1870. Col Craighill, who knew Gen. Leo well, and who is one of the most prominent engin eers in this country, gives this state ment of this heretofore but little known subject : "A curious scrap of history has recently como to my knowledge in connection with the burial of Gen. Robert E. Leo. Gen. Lee died Oc tober 12, 1870. A few days before his death the great flood of that year in ?James River had swept everything before it, and Lexington was cut off from communication with the outside world. It was found that there was not a coffin in the town suitable for the occasion. In this dilemma some ono found a box which had floated down th river and stranded. Upon opening it a beautiful casket was found in the box, ano in this the body of th great commander was buried.

NKW YORR> October 20.-A New York Herald's Lincoln, Neb., spe cial says : There is a paramount issue in Nebraska distinct from that in other States, and it is thc complexion of the next Legislature, which will bc called upon to elect two United States Senators. Republicans are bending their whole energy to secure control, and if factional fights can be settled in Douglas and Lancaster counties, their chances are tho better. On the politioal complexion of tho Legislature, it is believed here, de pends the political future of W. J. Bryan. Mr. Bryan, it is also as serted, is well aware of the fact, for if he is defeated for tho presidency and the Nebraska Legislature is fusion, the chances aro ten to ono that ho will become a United Stales Senator. -- --1 Thirty-Three Drowned.
