JUDGE LYNCH.
Although I had been n member of the X
bar for inany years, and knew personally and
officially nearly all tho judgos of the state and
of tho federal courts, I had nover xnado tho
acquaintance of that perambulating tribunal
presided over by Justico Lynch until I went
to reside for a few months in a neighboring
state, where rumor has it that Judge Lynch
made his debut.
The meeting eaine about this way. There
had been a long and expensive judicial season
at X; and Mallory Jock, the criminal law
yer, had saved another victim from the
sword of justice. Tho name of the sinner
who was snatched from tho hands of the
hangman was Black BilL Bill was exceed
ingly handy with his pistol, and on this occa
sion had shot and killed the conductor of a
street car because he persisted in tr3'ing to
collect tho car fare. As both lawyer and cli
ent were notorious, the trial brought tho
whole population to the court house to wit
ness tho illegal contest, and, as usual, the bar
came out victorious. Bill had mistaken tho
conductor's ticket punch for a pistol, tho offi
cial for a robber, and had shot the latter in
self-defense; besides forcing the judge to
charge that if the defendant reallj- mistook
tho bell punch for a pistol, pointed in a men
acing and dangeious manner, they were
bound, in fact, to ti eat it as though it was a
veritablo revolver, with 8S-caliber shot in it,
and not an innocent recording bell punch.
Of course Bill was acquitted, and he walked,
down Main street, the admired center of all
gazers. This was the farce. Tho tragedy
came about in tin's way.
As may be anticipated, Bill was very much
elated over his e&cape, especially as it hap
pened to Ixj his third trial for murder and ho
was rather superstitious about the figure
three. Ho celebrated it in a roaring spree,
which lasted a week and kept that part of tho
town in all uproar. There was drinking, sing
ing and lighting in harmonious and constant
succession, as though Bill was going to intro
duce tho famous Bacchic levels and life was
to bo an orgy of drinking and fisticuff. It
was about the third day of the feast when the
barkeeixjr, in a thoughtful moment, demanded
payment of the scoro, in default of which ho
proposed to tumble tho "gang'' into the
streot.
Bill, whose lifo had just been saved at an
oxpenso to the state of a thousand dollars,
was nturally indignant, and in tho absence
if bio pistol ho knocked the thoughtful bar
keeper down with a beer glass. Then tho
" commenced between the proprietor and
his men and Bill and the "gang," and tho
battle raged and surged from the bar room
to tho kitchen, and from the kitchen to tho
street, each new comer lending a hand or a
stoneT Finally the town marshal came rush
ing into the crowd, and knocked the braw
lers with his club right and left and unfor
tunately Bill among the rest. Tho latter
sneaked quietly across the street, came
back with a shotgun, poured tho contents of
both barrels into the back, of tho fighting
marshal and killed him on tho spot. This
was the climax. Tho brawl ceased as sudden
ly as it had arisen the fighters slunk back
from Bill in disgust, aud oven ho turned his
bloodshot eyes anxiously down at tho now
quiet marshal. Then ho placed the gun in a
corner, and some one whispered "Git." and
ho walked out into tho street and after a mo
ment's paue slunk rapidly away under the
shadows of the houses and the trees.
He had not walked a dozen squares before
he perceived that there was something the
matter with either the people or tho town.
Men ran ahead of him, others followed and
dogged his footsteps, and doors wei e banged
.as ho passed. Hark I the fire bell was ring
ing, and the whistle of tho ferryboat awoko
tho echoes on the i iver. Tho stream of lights
in the distance was not made up of fire flies,
but of men and boys carrying lanterns, and
armed with clubs and shotguns. Ho tried
several doors on tho way, well known places
of refuge, but they were closed, and no glint
of light from tho windows.
Then came the tramp, tramp of marching
men, and in darting around tho corner he
found himself instantly sui rounded with a
mob, who ordered him brutally to stand and
hold up his hands! Bill smiled as he recog
nized the voice, and lazily complied with tho
order; then no scanned the ci owd eagerly,
but they wero masked, and the only plain,
unmistakable thing was the levolvcr, which
gleamed at him from all directions. Tho
leader, in his red shirt, slouched hat, panta
loons stuffed in his boots, and under his arm
a long, black barreled rifle, stood eying him
in silence.
"Hello, Long Jim," said Bill, animated
with a sudden gleam of hope, '"you'll givo a
fellow a chanco for his life, won't you, Jim!"
"TVhatl" replied the leader, contemptuous
ly. "I don't know yer. This ain't no rabbit
hunting party this is Judge Lynch I There
has been killing enough in this town there'll
bo another, and then tho thing will stop.
Fold your arms right about face, march!"
Yes, this was Juage Lynch court, jury and
executioner, all in one.
"When tho itinerant court passed my door I
was smoking an evening cigar, and ha. ing
beard the alarm lolh was searching the hori
zon for the sign of fire, which nowhere could
be seen. The moon was out, and but for tho
flying procession of clouds that continually
scudded in fiont, the tovn of X was fairly lit
up with the wliito, silent light. I w as still
wondering if tho clouds meant rain or snow,
when tho odd aud fantastic judicial proces
sion marched silently by. No f unci al party
was graver, mndo less noise or marched with
more decorum. There was only ono excep
tion to tho general good behavior, and that
was tho impression of tho bystanders. Every
looker on w as immediately "pressed" into tho
crowd. Not one was allow ed to look and de
part, but he was forced to assist in the cere
mony. I was in the doorway when a fellow,
hideously drajed and disguised, laid hold
upon me, and pointing with his revolver to
the mob, told me to "fall in."
"Why, certainly," and I marched with tho
rest.
As there was very little talking there was
abundant opportunity for reflection, and j-et
probably the only one who was doing any
systematic thinking was the victim Bill, as he
turned h;s head from richt to left, vainly
searching for some sign of succor.
For myself, I no sooner guessed the object
or rather purpose of the judicial train
than my curiosity overrode and silenced all
legal scruples to the enterprise. Besides, I
consoled myself with the thought that as all
our great jurists and statesmen had found no
higher source of authority than tho people,
and that everything came from aud was for
the benefit of the people, surely au impromptu
tribunal of tho cople like Judge Lynch was
beyond impeachment. On wo went, from
street to street and pike to pike, the crow d
constantly gaining in sizo and tho hope of a
rescue consequently diminishing. As tho
eager people outflanked Bill on either side, ho
could not help noticing the difference be
tween the sullen and scornful glance of thes
men's eyes, to the pleasant, watery eyed, be
nevolent looks of his friends, the late jury;
no tears, no smiles over the pathos or humor
of counsel hero; only anger, ditik and vicious
as the ocean at night.
Onoe or tw ice Bill would sidle up to the
tall, gaunt leader, and whisper, as he tried to
catch his eye, a sobbing appeal for a 'chance.
--Gi-e a fellow a chance for his life, won't
your This was the constant and the only
appeal, and the reply was equally short &nd
determined: "Shut up!" and "Do your pray
ing and make it brief I"
We passed the house of Judge Beans, but
tho please everybody face of Justice AViggle
waggle, as he was called, was not to be seen.
This was not a court of law, but a rough and
twnble arena of jwtioet We bad beMUDarcQ-
ing for an hour when tha leader suddenly
turned from the pike and we entered a strip
of woods, which divided X from its agricul
tural background, it was a delightful rem
nant of an aucient lorost, and as we tramped
beneath tho branches and clamlerd over the
fallen trunks of tho trees, we wero greeted
with tho call of tho night owl and the Invisi
ble scampering about of its winged denizens.
TVo finally reached an open space, where a
few saplings grow among tho stumps of their
gigantic predecessors, and here Judge L. held
his court.
As I scanned rather hastily tho crowd, I
was vi idly impressed with two facts, viz.,
that we aro ft martial people, and that in
spito of the constant failures in the court
room wo still love justice. Some had mus
kets, which had been "out in 1812" and the
Mexican war, others double barreled squirrel
shooting, others again swords which had glit
tered at many a militia parade, but the ma
jority had bright, new navy revolvers. That
wo loved justice was equally apparent from
the zeal with which tho culprit was guarded
and the determination that he should pay the
penalty of his misdeed. t
Owing to tho passing of the clouds which
constantly obscured the moon the fitful and
uncertain light of the hand lamps carried by
the crowd, the laudable desire of each patri
ot to be in the front, and my own equally
praiseworthy desiro to be in the background
I cannot go very accurately into the de
tails of 1 his tribunal of tho people, but will
come ns close to the facts as the excitement
and surrounding circumstances will permit
In the first place tho hitherto ticitum mob
suddenly broke into au angry sea of oaths
and shouts, and thero was a rushing back
ward a.ul forward, and here and thero tho
leport of a pistol, showing that thero was a
Jivided court oven in tho temple of Judgo
Lynch. One group, however, had thrown a
rope over the top of a young sapling, and
while brawny arms adjusted a knot on it and
bent it towards the earth, other brawny arms
and violent hands were dragging Bill on his
knees towards tho noose, vainly struggling
and begging for mercy.
'See here boys," suddenly said the leader,
who wa? either presiding judge or prosecutor
pro tern., as ho blow a fiako of snow off the
barrel of his rifle, '-aren't wo a going a triflo
too fast.' There aro two ways of doing a
thing: nd we needn't imitate him in that
partikltr. Has Bill confessed? If ho hain't
whar's t ho edentificatiou?" "What?" shouted
one who was tugging at the impromptu gal
lows, "Do you suppose that I am going to
hold thi? tree down all night f
"Why, Tom see him kill Berry and the con
ductor!" shouted a dozen voices in unison.
'And here's Matt and Nato seed him shoot
theDutchman. "Why, Long Jim, what is the
matter with your cried still another.
Oh, yes, there was plenty of proof! How
pi ompt and swift were tho witnesses and how
full and responsive their memories. Old
friends and new ones, companions and ene
mies, stood up and poured out their knowl
edge against tho hunted and craven creature,
and unfolded his character as idler, bummer,
drunkaid, wife beater, thief and homicide! It
w:is true thero was no Mallory Jcck to bully
and hector them in a so called cross-examination;
nor Judgo "Wigglew aggie to frown
upon tho stupid and smile upon the impudent
and bold, and no sympathetic fringe of peo
ple who lovo to help tho under, dog. But
piobabl' tho one circumstance which told
most strongly against lum in tffe leader's
mind was the crouching attitude and tho
heartrending appeals for mercy.
This satisfied even Long Jim of tho truth
of tho charges, and ho rested his riflo upon tho
ground, and, with a gesture, invited the exe-cutionei-s
to perfoim the people's idea of jus
tice, which they did with a frenzied shout of
joy.
But this was a night of surprises. 'Amid
tho yelling, struggling and swearing there
arose tho cry of '-Sheriff! Sheriff 1" and tho
crowd oponed and for a few minutes paused,
listened and looked cagerl toward tho pike.
Sure enough, the clattering sound of a gallop
ing hoi so could be distinctly heard coming
near and nearer, and in another moment a
w hite horso bearing tho county officer dashes
recklessiy thiough tho crowd, which opens to
let him in and then closes behind him.
'Maku way, hold on, stand back," cried tho
buily nler, waving hisievolver and alight
ing closi) to tho prisoner, whom he w renched
from tho grasp of tho fellows holding tho sap
ling down. "I'll shoot the first man that
moves. TliLs is my man. In the name of tho
commonwealth I arrest"
He diil not finish tho sentence, for suddenly
thero passed above his head a foi midablo piece
of wood, and then tho sheriff, his slouched
hat and pocket gun wero knocked in three
different directions, and tho big, stalwart
officer fell with such force upon the ground
that it was several seconds before ho turned
over, rose- upon his knees, and rubbed his
herd and shoulder and looked around in a
confused way for tho supposed thunderbolt
which had struck him.
"Georgey, my boy,"' said ono of the laugh
ing bystanders as tho dozed sheriff brushed
the dirt from his face and felt on tho ground
for his revolver, "don't you know it is a con
tempt of court to iuten upt it w ith your circus
busmen. Be mum, now, d'ye hear and shet
vour eyes and ears, or you'll get worsj nor
that"
Tho sheriff took the hint, for he crawled
asido to tho stump of a tree, and crouching
behind it, watched slyly tho sinister proceed
ings. But another man had been watching tho
unexpected interruption and saw in it the
ono golden opportunity of his life, and this
was the prisoner. Tho man that held him
had been knocked down by tho reckless rider,
and the horse was standing tossing its head
within two feet of him. Bill saw his chance,
and in a flash mounted the horseVrouched
almost flat on tho mane, and struck boldly out
for liberty.
As he plunged beneath the branches, and
shot past the trees, n running firo of pistol
shots followed him, scattering tho bark and
branches, but missing the fugitive in tho ob
scurity, -. ho kicked, tugged, and lashed tho
frightened horse into wild leaps and plunges.
To me this was better than the deus ex ma
china of tho ancient play, that Bill should es
cape by his ow n efforts. I wished him suc
cess for obvious reasons. What were the
nrvHwit-s, iif fVikf" tho pxnlniintinns of KViit.
and the judgments of Marshall what were
law coll ge with their professors, moot
courts nad libraries and what even were
courts of justice, w ith its juries and talking
lawyers if thl were to be the tribunal of
the futuiv? The music of the future had dis
cords enough w hich arose from other causes
thau the sharps and flats arranged in lines by
Wagner; but what would lecorae of one's
nerves if Justice Lynch were the justice of
flirt fiitnn? So th( flrinr RIH hrt nt loict
I one, nay, counting the sheriff, two well wish
ers.
But it so happened that just as the fugitive
reached the open road, and rose up in his sad-
die to see if the coast were clear, the clouds
i which had veiled the moon suddenly faded
i itito mist, and the light shone full on, and
tinted with silver the black hair and head of
the culprit, and there came from tho forest
' the loud, sharp crash of a rifle, which cut
throuqh the air with an ominous whiz!
! One could see the horse turn and suddenly
i stop, the riiier throw up his arms in wild de
spair or pain, and then fall backward to the
ground with a thud that shook the earth and
I made even tho followers of Judge Lynch
' tremble. There was an instantaneous rush
, of the mob to where the body was lying in
tho road, and it was picked up and laid upon
the sidewalk for inspection. Tho inquest wis
short, as the fitful light of the lanterns showed
, that a hole had been made in his head wide
enough to let out Bill's wretched life, and the
half closed eyes looked colder and cruder
than ever.
i "Iad and no mistake, ehP was the eager
inquiry, as each constituent of Judge Lynches
! court examined and assured himself that the
people's mandate had been perfectly executed.
And then they dispersed as swiftly and as
tracklessly as a flock of birds at the sound of
a hunter's shot. They disappeared as if by
magic, and loft onlv the she: :', his horse,
I Lonjj Jjm and a couple of bystanders. The
colloquy which followed was amusing as well
as instructive.
Sheriff (still rubbing his head and sizing
the bump on the bock of It with his fingers)
Yes, sneak away like a lot of thieves! I
know yon. Seo'lf I don't fill tho county jail
with a batch of you dorfls before long. This
is murder in tho first degree, and my evi
dence will hang somebody. I say, Jim, did
you hit me?
Long Jim (still caressing his rifle) Not yet,
Georgey.
Sheriff No; and you'd better not com
mence, I tell yer. You had better slink away
with tho rest This was murder, and don't
you forget it Bill was entitled to a fair trial
and justice.
Long Jim (scornfully) Fair trial and jus
tice? Sheriff Yes, a fair trial and justice,
by G-.
Long Jim "Where do you git them things?
Not in your legal circus, old boy. You kin
get layers' jaw and Jedge "Wagglewaggle.
Justice Nary justice. Now, Georgy, just
close up 3'our head I mean the front of it
Go and get the coroner, and don't tell what
yer don't know do you mind?
I left Long Jim laying down the law, and
tho sheriff listening, and I judge that the ar
gument used was convincing, fof the papers a
day or two afterward announced the verdict
of tho coroner as "justifiable homicido, while
escaping from the sheriff and his posse."
As I passed the spot where the victim was
lying, tho pitiable pathos of tho silent figure
was increased by the woman that bent above
it, and sobbed "Oh, Bill,'" raid kissed the
knotted fingers that had often struck her in
anger. But human justice has this trait with
tho divine, that it makes the innocent suffer
for tho sins of the guilty.
This i3 the only time I ever met Judgo
Lynch, and I must admit that the meeting,
although short, was impressive, and I never
see ono of those judges which political con
ventions furnish shuffling and trifling with
tho scales of justice slipping his fingers down
upon tho beam but I fancy I see behind him
the court pageant of that other itinerant
judge with lus rope and unerring rifle I
mean Judge Lynch. Henry Hooper in Cin

Pollshlnp the Champion Diamond.
Great crowds collect every evening at Hol
born to see the process of polishing what is
deemed the champion diamond of the world.
"Within sight through tho large plate glass
window tho artist sits at his bench before the
littlo upright wooden stand, on which, fast
ened with tho composition used for the pur
pose, stands the half polished diamond, one
part described as being rough and dull as
rock salt, tho other flaming with internal fire.
The artist works on the stone with a curious
looking polisher, an instrument described as
resembling a thickish bit of ordinary fire
wood, yi ith ono end cut edgewise and covered
with composition, and keep3 scrubbing and
scrubbing with a gentle firmness. It is
stated that tho diamond, which is from
South Africa, will when fully cut number a
third more carats than the Koh-i-noor, which
will have to hide its diminished head in tho
presonco of a luminary bigger than a billiard
ball. The jewel is worth half a million.
The very chips that are cut off in the polish
ing fetch small fortunes. Tho king of
Portugal gavo 40,000 for ono of them.

Thirty Quails In Thirty Days.
I soo another man lias made a failure to
eat thirty quails in thirty days. It has been
done by several people, but I can assuro you
it is a very great feat, and tho man w ho ac
complishes it has a stomach of which ho may
be proud. I have often wondered why a
man cannot eat thirty quails in thirty days,
and have nover had tho reason satisfactorily
explained. On ono occasion my curiosity got
tho better of me, and in tho interest of science
I quietly started out to see if a strictly tem
perate and healthy man could not eat quail
right nlong without feeling any bad effects.
Well, 1 disposed of twenty. I began to
weaken before I reached that number, but I
persisted until it became too great a punish
ment and then I quit. I presume I could
have eaten thirty, but consulting my health
and comfort I concluded that my curiosity
had been sufficiently gratified and quit. It
was a long time after that before I could en
dure tho sight of quail on tho table, and even
now half a dozen a year aro enough for mo,
and they have to bo fixed up in a very tempt
ing manlier if I touch them." Councilman

Telegraph Operators Hapid "Writers.
During tho great Boston firo an operator
in New York received 248 messages between
7 o'clock and noon, and sent 216 during tho
afternoon of the same day. The messages,
including the addresses, signatures, datelines
and "checks," averaged thirty words. Thus
during tho five hours he was wielding the
pen ho copied over 7,o00 words, or 1,500
words an hour. There aro a dozen operators
in Philadelphia who could beat even that if
they wero called upon to do it. These men
would pi obably not break tho sender onco in
an hour if the latter was a good operator,
and, when through, it is doubtful if they
would remember a word they liad penned.
The operator is simply a machine. The sound
of tho instrument enters his car and runs out
his arm to tho nib of his pen to tho paper.
Tho writing becomes almost involuntary.

Chewing Coca Leaves.
The natives of Peru chow the leaf of the
coca bush from which tho cocaine is ex
tracted, and it produces in a modified degree
tho same results as the sulphate of cocaino
when taken internally, reports of whose rav
ages appear in the papers from time to time.
The miners of that country will not work
unless twice a daj for half an hour they aro
allowed to chew their rations of leaves, and
then they are ready to endure any hardship
and work day and night They are abso
lutely enslaved by it, as it is said that any
one beginning to use it is bound to be.
