Austria and France neglected to enforce it strictly and suffered from considerable mor tality. t : HOB LAV. v When the Chatham mob did its sweeping work the press of . the State was outspoken in severe condemna tion of the act; If mobs are to do the hanging in North Carolina then there is no use of the farce of trying men for their lives in the courts. The hanging of Lee. by a mob at Rock ingham is just one of those acts that are to be deplored Doubtless the wretch deseryedlianging, . but ia a State that before the war was law abiding above all others, and whose people were as little addicted to vio lence as any people under the sun, this usurping of the authority of the courts over life and death is out of place, and every good citizen should denounce it. . In South Carolina the people seem inclined to prevent : the execution of mob law, and to prose cute all who are engaged in it.if they can be ascertained. That is a good example, and the law officers of North Carolina shoaid not be slow in endeavoring to ferret out those who join mobs and engage in hanging Men without any pretense of trial or any of the forms of law. . . If the people would reflect seri ously upon this grave matter - they would be deeply moved at the preva ence of lynchings. . No mob is fit to take ' life because of - passion and prejudice. A man is adjudged guilty without investigation and is sent into eternity. Doubtless - in the regular courts men are '-' sometimes wrong iuiiy pumsned, and - even innocent men liave been hanged. : How must it be r in hangings by ; a wild mob greedy for blood ? If mobs are to prevail no man is safe. The law- abiding people will have to organize against mobs'' for their own safety. And so violence - begets violence, so ciety is, thrown into chaos, and the whole State suffers. Steps should be taken to crush out; this reien of violence. - - - - ; TREE RAISING.

Korth American JSetiew for December, is up to its standard. -: It' has a marked , pecu-. liarity : among American publications m this: it discusses : mainly current topics, rarely dealing with the past. It1 offers but little that is engaging or superior in the way of literature. Its contributots number many famous men and 'now :'and ' then it presents a paper the style of which-is fine.' Its contributions are generally short; are not,, therefore, elaborate and-exhaustive like those of the great Entiah -Quarterlies.' They are no t lacking In ability and are val uable because they treat of uppermost ques tions. $ It meets a demand and fills a gap in' the American periodical world Hence its great ' success That class -that subscribe to leading publications desire for; the most part to read about leading ques tions that concern the age and country. Those, who desire the best literature will seek other fields and publications.. The North American Review jgiiei a free lance to its contributors. -It allows many articles to appear tbat Southern readers will not relish, and it even. tolerates a latitudinarian view of-religion if not- an open revolt against Christianity.

C . A NEW MICROBE. N. Y. Star. J ne micro De is man's worst ene my. It Is the root of cholera, and now Dr. Carmena, of Mexico, has discovered that a microbe causes yel low fever.

' '' - ..; c: Following thei example. of Kooh and Pasteur, he has tried inocula- uon witn the , microbe as a means of assuring immunity from the dis ease. Subcutaneous in jections,he says, result in a very mild form of the fever, which hardly causes the patient any inconvenience, while if assures im munity from the disease in its dan gerous forms. Of. several ' hundred persons thus, treated Dr. Carmbna says that not one has contracted yel low' fever, though Irani? in comniu- - . i , 3 . - uiuea, wnere tner- disease, was - epi- We hope that this is all true. - Any cerxain preventive wouia save tnou sands 'of lives lost in years when yel low fever is epidemic in the South ern States. 7 But after the description given oi iqo microoe . oy -Jf.. car-; mona a man must "' have great faith ana courage to permit it to be intro duced into s his system.
