Richards in the Century. Lynching of Wild Jake. The little mining town of Sbakspeare New Mexico, nestling high in tho pyr amid range, and so called, as Russiai Bill suggested, because 'only a little Hamlet' was wrapt in rlcop. It was just about that little hour when, aecor ding to military writers, that conorcti mass of ignorance—drill, ball am chain, and bullying—the common sol dier sleeps upon his post and the drowsj policeman becomes obvious of crime Yet late as was tho hour and palpabl. as wa» tho daikncss, a number of ma were silontly wending their way to tin rear of 'Kocksey's' saloon, through tin chinks in tho closed door of which is sued a ray of light. Each man as b approached gave a peculiar knock am the door was iustantly opened and quick ly closed behind hiiu. Tho light shon for an instant on tins barrel of a Win e' otter ~ii!f anil roT- djP'i file ikot tha each maa also carried a six-shooter ii hiti cartridge oclt. When about twent; had assembled the door was blocked and after all bands had taken u driul the company seated themselves on bar rels, old champagne cases, ono Ion; form and a few conventional cane bot toined chairs made in Old Mexico, am marvels aliko of enso and cheapness It was a picturesque crowd in the dul light of two kerosenej lamps and wouli have delighlod the heart of a Salvato Jiosa. Tbcr* was the grilled ol prospector who had conic to ('alifcrni in "The days of old, the day* of gold, The days of Forty-nine." And who had ever since been leading a wandering life, "making strikes,' 'blowing it) his pile,' 'getting down t bed rcelr,' and rising 'flash' or.eo more Thore was 'Uocksoy' himself, who as b laoonieallj expressed it was there t 'sell whiskey, not to give it iway. There was the tenderfoot Kastcrn elorl aut of tho stage company office, on whos upper lip tho miscroscopo, with care might discover some incipient vegeta tion, together with a few determine! looking m*en of middle age—cattlemei who were being deprived through th •rustlers' of their fair and just thirty three per cent, inorcase every two year of their hoarded wealth. 'Shorty' Smith opened the meetin/ in a few words. Ho said: 'Gentlo men, 1 see as ye've osme on the deac squaro for business an' I ain't goin' U make no speech. We all 'lowed a: this town ain't got DO further use foi Wild Jako or any of his kind, an' tha it's about time he stacks his chips am quits. He's rua this town long onougl an' he got fair notice not to ooine baol here after he got clear of killing Mulli gan,' and ho wouldn't take it. He'.' hero again at bis old tricks. He': locked up in Moreno's old abode an the Sheriff's homo in bed. Let's go u( thore!' 'Lot's take a drink first,' suggested the young clerk, fresh from tho peace ful associations of a refined far-of home, 'l'll go yo,' oried soveral, and 'Hook sey, set them up onoc more. 'Here's success to crime,' exclaimed one of tho cattlo men, and with a sub dued laugh overy glass was emptied. Tho old Californian remarked that •'twas wonderful how whisky turned h man when ho wasn't used to it,' appro - pos of the fiery stuff haviag gene ognins! the tenderfoot's breath, aud there \v v more subdued merriment. • Vamouse,' cried 'Shorty,' as he turn ,cd out the lights and tho whole party filed into the darkness Down the hill they went toward i smalt two-roomed abodo a short distano* from tho ©fficeof the Grout Expectation mine. At soma thirty yards from tin cffice a fnw men silently detached them selves from the party aud took up tboii position as guards to prevent the ap proach of 3traugers. The rest moved silently on- Outside tl>" door they halted for a whip«rad consultatioii wbiob lusted but a tuiuute. l'lisn 'wo moti took from the woodpilo cl ue by a heavj piece of timber.

Wild Juke stood boforc them in the rays of a Bark lantern complete ly at their mercy. A tall swarthy, well bnilt fellow of about 86. He fuco was open and frauk, out tho long waving blank hair and pieroiug 'lrtiT eyes recall ed Joaquin Millftr's description ol Walker, 'half augel and half Luci fer. •What do you want me, gentle men,' be asked in tones uttorly free from tho slightest suspicion of border slang. 'Ye know what wc want,' said Shorty. 'Yo've got to go where thai ain't no liew trials, no Supreme Court, an' where writs of havo-jou-his-corpii ain't no account, lluny up. We can't stay here all night.' 'Well, gentlemen, I supposed it would conic to this sooner or later. I! 1 had not been drunk I would have taken a fair warning and stayed away. 1 can't go fast with those shackles on. but I'll go as fast as 1 can.' Surrounding their jivis&ncr tl.oy led lum to the hoisting works of tho uiam ltoth miuu. A rope was quicklj thrown over a Loam and the prisonoi was a. kod if ho had,. j.;-tlvi»R to sav OI any' confession to make. He had nei ther; he only wanted the sin:!! favor ol being allowed to die with bis boots off It was a small favor to a -lying mar and at once granted. A llaeksniit! belonging to the vigilance committee procured a hammer, and telling Jake ti put-his left and then his right foot on t small anvil, used to sharpen miners tools, knocked his shackles off iu a Uvs minutes. 'Now,' said Jako, soiting himself on the anvil, 'draw off uiy boots and I air ready.' The man bent to do as requested, when quick us a flash down oauic the ring of the heavy iron shaokle on hie unprotected hoad. lie fell like an ox Almost at tho same instant Jako drew the unfortunate man's purt.il trow hie belt, aud before any one had time tc realize what had happened, ho disap peared with a shout in the darkness. With au equally wild shout his captors followed, spreading out as skirmishers, -o as not to miss tho trail. A few ol tue older uion went back to get horses, while the younger ones continued the chase. With the gray dawn Jake's trail was discovered. It led toward Lordsburg, about four miles distaut, to which point the cjnstiuotion train of tho Northern Pacific had reached. 'Shorty' thought that if Jake could got a horse at Lordsburg and get in there ahead, he might escape. "Tho mob pressed on all the harder. Soon Jake oould be seen down on the mesa, run. ning along with the peculiar dog trot oi the Apacho Indian. He was woll out oi tango. Soon he was seen to enter the towu noar the Ralston House and run across toward tho railroad track. The orowd Increased its speed, and ri fles in hand rushed into tho plaza in front of tho hotel. An engine attached to two flat cars stood puffing on die traok. In the cab stood IVild Jake, while Hie engineer lay a', his feet, Jake's right foot resting lirui upon his heart. Jako was covered by a doieu riflos, while several voices called upon him to surrender. 'Gentlemen,' bo cried, 'before you fire just look in the direction my pistol is pointed.' The company had been diggirg for water. Noar the excavation were sev eral long wooden boxes of the kind in tchieb they pack dynamito. 'Lower your riflos,' he continued, 'or I'll fire into tho giant powder, and we'll all go together.' Every man in tho orowd felt that Wild Jake would bo as good as his word, and every gun wan instantly lowered. , OCTOBlij; 1, IJB i Without giving tho mob time to i think, the train, wilh VVihl Jake in L charge, pulled out from tho station at : full ppcod anil disappeared round tho • -jurvc goinj southward. While tho ■ tram was in sight not a word was hoard • Dor a movement made by tho men from ! whoso clutches tho desperado had es caped. 'Bust my skin!' at longth exolaimed Poker Joe, 'if ho hasn't seen our pile and called us.' •Woll, he had tho dead drop on us sore,' said Shorty. 'There was nuthin' for it but to own up.' Meanwhile some |»ar*y ap proached tho well to look at the boxos. They wero all empty. Wild Jako re stored his machino to the engineer near Fort Bowie, A T., started oft on foot, and has never since been heard of, al though rumors as to his whereabout have boon indulged iu by tho local paper. Comparison of Lee and Grunt. A Northern correspondent, referring to G '. Tootnb's expressed opinion that Graut was a greater soldier than Lec, asks us if any considerable portion of tho Southern people agree with that opinion. No. Not even an inconsiderable fraction. Perhaps uot twenty men in the entire South. The simple utter ance of sneh an opinion has been re ceived with iuipatieuce. If there is anything that tho Southern poople have closed the record on, and locked up the record and thrown away tho key, it is that ltobert E. Leo is incomparable among tho soldiers of his day. There may bo a good deal of senti ment about this, (f so, tho sentimental I estimates of Leo's abilities may well | balanoo the glamor of success that it | thrown about tho operations of Grant, Both men were great captains. Botb i lio cold and silent in their graves. Both . utfc dear to tho hearts of their people, j ind both illumine tho history of wur.— ' "■ n'ight ha well to iuatituti. isou between them. But since the com parison has been made, here is oui opinion : "If Gen. Grant and Gen. Lee had changed places—if Loe had led superior numbers with superior equip ment, and Grant had led the tunaller army, ragged, ill-fed and ill-equipped, Leo would have found the end in hall tho time and with tho half tho loss ol men that it took Grant to tind it.— Both wero great soldiers. But Lec was the gteatcr of tho two, and history will say so.—Atlanta Constitution. Tho other day. wuen old Major Sol man announced his readinese to proceed in the direction of the church, his wife appeared wearing a 'Mother Hubbard' dress The old tuan intently regarded her for a few moments and asked: 'Mary, what sort of a coat do yoti call that!' 'lt's a 'Mother Hubbard,' Jeeuia.' 'Aro you going to wear it to ohurchV 'Wliy, certainly, Jeems. The 'Moth er Hubbard' i 9 all tho fashion now.' •Well, I'm glad to hear it,' the old man replied; 'just wait until I gel ready and we'll go.' Tho old man went out into tho kitch en, took a couple of meal sacks, cut th bottoms out, aewed tho tops together, and put thein on in imitation of panta loons. When he returned his wife ut teied a loud ory of astonishment and exclaimed: 'Great goodness, Jcems, what'i that?' 'Father Hubbard,' the old man re plied. 'You're not a-goiii' to wear them sack*, are you?' 'l've got to be fasbionablo to keep up with you, I've got just as much right to wear these meal bags as you have to go in tlrat bran sack.' 'l'll tako it off.' 'AH right, off goes Father Hub bard,' and turniug away ho addod to himself: 'Only one way to beat a woman, and that's by agroein' with her. If it hadn't been for the Daddy Hubbard I'd been in a mighty bad fix.' Caution, in crediting, reserve in speaking, aud in revoaling one's self to a very tow, are the best securities both of peace and a good understanding with the world, and of the inward peace of our own minds.

If he Ims a little money he had best kcop it down in his pocket for a few months or he will get acclimated. By acclimation they mean losing what you brought with you and getting so reduced that you can t get away if you want to. An old ac quaintance asked mo yesterday it I had got acclimated, and I told him yes, and that 1 had written home for enough money to take nig back to Georgia. "Happy man," ho, "if you have any left at nome, for but few who cutnn here have any let: behind, aud by the time vre acclimate them they are prop erly humble and go to work and in a yoai or so are reconciled to stay."— Ifill Arp.

Perseverance is the best school for wanly virtue. > ,«r i Great truths are often Aid. iij the fewest words. : Aniuuils are such agreeable - They ask no questions, the; pass BO criticisms. To correct an evil which already ex ists is not so wise as to foresee and pre vent it. ( . The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful infloenco in tho world. Flattery is a species of false coin, which only our vanity enables t« pass | current. | It is easy to make a prisoner of an Apostlr, but his message it is impossible to fettor. Every day is filled with useful les sons, if we would but observe, note and learn as wo go. Multifarious reading weakens the mind like smoking, and is an excuse for its lying dormant. There is a day of judgment, and that judgment will embrace both the just and unjust. This would bo a bottcr world if the poople in it who lose their tempers ' would never find them again. | Sow an act and you reap a habit, sow habit and you reap character, sow char acter and you reap destiny. How many languish in obscurity who would become great if emulation and encouragement excited them to exer tion. We should never wed an opinion for bettor or for worse; what we take upon good ground.we should lay down upon better. A considerable decrease in thu num ber of sheep in this country it taking place as well as in Australia. l'ear trees show dead branches now in some localities; these should be cut off and burnt. These are caused by blight. Georgia's corn crop this year will bo four million bushels larger than that of 1880, tho largest ju tho history of tho State. The total national United Statcg domain is 2,291,376,338 acres. This includes territories, reservations and Alaska. Sod is apt to be ploughed too deep in tho spr.ng, bringing soil to the surfaoo that has not been benefitted by cxpoauro to the air and frost. Turning under sod is one way of re storing wornout lands. It shauld be carefully inverted and the decay vege table material thoroughly mixed with the soil. There is a law of nature that diseas ed, djiug, dead aud perishing matter becomes the prey of parasitic growths by which it is removed from the face of the earth. Excellent Interest Unlet The answer in i-aoh ease being in cents, separato tho two right band fig ures of the answer to express is dollars and cents. Four per cent Multiply tho princi pal by tho number of days to run. Separate right hand figure from the pro duct und divide by nine. Five par cent—Multiply by number of days and divide by seventy-two. Six pet cent—Multiply by number of •lays, separate right hand fijjure and di vide by six. Eight per cent—Multiply by mimbor of days and divide by forty-five. Nino per cont—M iltiply by number of days, separate right hand figure and divide by four. Ten per ocnt—Multiply by number of days and divide by thirty-five. Twelve per cent—Multiply by num ber of days, separate right hand figure and divide by three. To find tho time m which a sum of money will double itself at a certain rate of intcrost, divide seventy-two by rate of interest and tho result will be the number of years. For example, at four per cent moaey will double in eighteen years, and at eight per cent it doubles in niue years. This rule is correct to within a fraction of a year fur all rates from three per cent upward. We arc- indebted for this to Mr. i'ack ler, the will known actuary.
