Some thirty-two years since, then a boy of sixteen, wesident in Western New York, f was attacked with ‘What was declared by the physicians a pronounced case | Df hereditary scrofula. It appeared in the form of a @landular swelling upon the lett side ot the neck, which, eapite all of the usual old-time remedies, continued to Brow, becoming at, say eighteen, a seeming fixture of ‘about the size of ahen’sexg. ‘The swelling was fre- ‘(quently very sore and painful, the moreso that it was neh of the time raw from the daly sppiication of {Sodine. ‘The general health became very much broken, Bnd the prospects in life, for one just versing upon manhood, were gloomy enough. A promising physician in Cleveland, Ohio, advised a change of climate, with s life of hardship and exposure, a8 presenting, in connection with youth, s possible hance of recovery. A removal to the south and west, ‘and an active, out-door life for some years, attested the soundness of Ris judgment. The scrofulous swellings gradually disappeared; the system as gradually toned Mtsclf up; the broken and dispirited boy became a strong and hearty man of 183 pounds. There was respite for fifteen years. Daring ail of this time there was nosign of s return of the dread disease. As the future but too eadly proved, however, it was none the lees surely, if Slowly, working. In the spring of 1870, now thirteen Years since, it again putin an appearance, and in an intensely aggravated form. First asingle ulcer appeared ‘upon the left breast; this was but the precursor of more than ton long ‘years of as miserable and wretched an existance, with certain!y as much of physical suffering, soften falis tothe lot of man. ‘The one ulcer was fol- lowed by another, until the whole surface of the breast ‘Was but one mass of corraption. Some of these ulcers ‘Were not less than one and a half inches tn diameter, the edges rough, ragged and scemingiy dead, the cavity ‘pen to the bone and filled with a yellowish, waxy and exccedingly offensive matter. Everything known tothe Medicsl fraternity was fried in vain. The disease be- came but the more and more virulent. Gradually the Doue iteelf became diseased, and then the sufferings began in earnest. Bone ulcers here and there began to take tho place of those hitherto on the surface. ‘The difference manifest in these was that the erap- tions were of a watery nature, were copious and were attended with almost constant and severe pain. About the on!y relief experienced was found in burning the Whole surface of the breast, night and morning, liter- ally toa biister, witha strong solution of earbolic acid. This served asa disinfectant, removing the otherwiso intolerable smell, loosened up the matter, and allayed for the time the intolerable itching. As if all this was not enough, the ulcers broke out upon the shoulder Diades aud extended to the small of the beck, aud then, fndeed, the cup of misery was complete, Ibecawe reduced to smere wreck; for months at a time couid not get my hands to my bead because of ex- ‘treme soreness; could not turn over in bed without first | Fising tos sitting posture; knew not from one year’s end to another what it was to be an hour even free from pain, save, as before stated, in the temporary relief afforded by the burning of the uleers with carbolic acid; had reason to look upon life itself as s curse. In the summer of 1580, after better than ten long Sears of this wretched existence, I was induced by a lady friend to try a box of Curicurs. I did so, much as I tried everything else that offered, without any faith. Iwas asreeably surprised to find, at once, that it acted with a wonderful, soothing effect, in allaying the terri- ble burning and itching of the ulcers.

While I saw no immediate effect upon the particular iseace, I was encouraged to continue its use by an un- | expected and flattering result in quite snother direction. ‘had been troubled with the Dyspepsia. I found here @t once an agreeable sense of relief. I continued to use the Curicuka Remerres. After some months I began ‘toeee a change, and for the better. The old ulcers be- wan to discharge far more freely, and relief was expe- Fiencedin proportion. The general tone of the system “began to improve; there was a marked increase in the ‘appetite, and amost decided improvement in the dises- tion. I kept on with the remedies, and kept on improy- ing. First the one old ulcer, which had run for more than ten years, gradually healed; then another, and Still another, There were new and frequent eruytions. ‘Truly enough, they were rather encouraging than oth- erwise, in that, unlike the old, they discharged them- Selves freely and healed again in a comparatively short ‘time. Finally, after something better than two years’ per- Gistent use of the Curicta Remepre:, the Iast ulcer was healed. The work of renovation has been slow, but Seemingly sure, The dread disease has succumbed. All over the breast, shoulders and back, where for so many long, long ycars all was but a mass of corruption, there .s now a healthy skin. ‘The broken-down system has gradually recupersted; hss increased in weicht from 123 to 156 pounds: the good work is still going on; the ceneral health is be- coming remarkably good; the man of 43 yearsof age, aiter more than 12 years of suffering, feels himself a ew man, and all through theCcricuna REMEDIES.

Some Historical and Ph marks Upon a Timely Topic. ‘From the Philadelphia Times. It is sald by some veracious authorities, whose names [ have forgotten because I never knew them, that on the ancient council books of Gal- way, Ireland, it is duly recorded that in the year of our Lord 1493 “James Lynch, mayor of Gal- way, hanged his own son out of the window tor defrauding and killing strangers, without mar- tial or common law, to show a good example to posterity.” There is what the gentleman from “No’th Kyarlina” would call a “right peart sprinkle” or a “right smart chance” of Lynch law in that minute, and looking at it in a cold-blooded, de- liberate, rigidly legal light and analysis, one is at first disposed to oo Se son who bee hanged did “show a g example to posterity” when he “‘defrauded and killed ee with- out martial or common law.” But going di- ney and in a mobbish fashion, without due and formal process of law, right at the apparent common sense of the record, we understand at once that the father hanged his son without martial or common law, to show & good exam- ple and teach posterity a short cut to justice, when the windings and mazes of common law were inexplicably and hopelessly entargling and misleading. It seems, by the chronicle, that young Lynch had been sent to Spain by his father, the mavor, to purchase a cargo of the wine that biteth like logwood and stingeth like & madder when it giveth its dye color aright in the cup. - But the young man wasted his sub- stance in riotous living, and fared sumptuously three times a day and four or five times a night and spent all his money at the bar and in the faro room before he bought his cargo. How- ever, his rating was good, and he loaded his ship on a short credit, thirty, sixty and ninety days, fifteen off, and sailed Joyously for home, intending to beat the slate and sa; nothing to his father about the paper. But the credit man of the concern, who didn’t exactly like the looks of things, sent his nephew along to collect the money in Galway. Seeing that this nephew's presence would probably cause a coolness in the family circle as soon as he presented his state- ment, young Lynch “expedited” matters by tossing the Spaniard into the loud sounding sea and then sailed joyously on in an ever widening moral horizon, and under an intellectual sky that was infinitely cloudless. - But one of the satlors some time afterward lay down to die, and when he was positively assured that he could not positively live long enough to be hanged for his share in the transaction, told Mayor Lynch how his son had killed the Span- fard. Tried before his own father, the young merchant was convicted and sentenced ‘to be hanged. The family and friends violently pre- vented the execution, whereupon the mayor took his son up stairs, fastened a staple to the wall, with his own hands adjusted the noose about the young man’s neck, pushed him out of a window overlooking the public street and there hanged him in manner and for reasons set forth in the record. Whenever you talk about Lynch law. think of John Fitzstephens Lynch, mayor of Galway, who filed the first caveat for an inyention generally supposed to be Ameri- ean. The mayor's patent, however, did not cover the entire ground of a Lynch court, as the pris- oner had been legally and formally tried, con- vieted and sentenced. Many years afterward a Virginia farmer named Lynch’ got out an im- provement. He captured a thief, and knowing that ifhe turned him over to the authorities he would himself be more savagely abused as a witness by the prisoner's counsel than any felon in the dock, and knowing that it would be a toss-up whether the average petit fury would punish the prisoner or the prosecuting witness, the captor organized a little court of his own. He tried the case while he was tying the pris- oner to a tree; he pronounced sentence while he trimmed and twisted the hickories, and then he executed the sentence himself by whipping the thiet until the court was tired. This was genuine Lynch law, and It seems to have taken deepest root and flourished most vigorously in lands that have the most Iaw. A Lynch court is always lawless. But then it is often necessary and usually just. There is much that is good law which is very poor justice. And there are some things lawless that are right and expedient. A tew days ago a mob at Waverly, Iowa, hanged two brethren by the name of Barber. ‘These brethren had shot a sheriff and other- wise condu:ted themselves in an offensive and dangerous manner, The hanging did not cost the state ot Iowa one cent. The mob even took their prisoners out of town a little ways and hanged them In the woods. They thonghtlessly hanged them In a grove devoted to picnics, but this was an error of judgment for which the mob should apologize to the teachers of public and Sabbath-schools, who will now be compelled to seek other and less historic spots where thelr little ones may fall out of swings and eat the awtul cake and horror-laden pie of the picnic. Doubtless the hanging of the Barber brothers was a lawless act, ani doubtless, also, it was an act of justice. Had these brethren lived in Mis- souri they might have lived many years, killing and plundering the Innocent, the law-abiding, the respectable people until some brute of their own kind could be hired by the state to slay them. But in Iowa their career was cut short by a dose of their own medicine. The murder- ers were murdered, and no man in Iowahasnow any fear of being shot by the Barber brothers. In the abstract Lynch law is disgraceful and wicked. But cere must be killed, by all means let _us kill the fellows who are fond of killing. There are things far worse and more disgraceful than Lynch courts. A party of gentlemen who “black up” and escort some wretched cut-throat out toa moonlight neck- tie party are honorable and respectable gentle- men when compared with the jury that vindl- cated the late and very unlamented Dukes and declared him an Innocent man. Had Lawyer Dukes committed his crimes in Iowa, I think he would have had the same difficulty in keeping his teet upon the ground that was experienced by the recent Messrs. Barber. Possibly some of the jury that declared Lawyer Dukes worthy of the protection and respect of the community he had disgraced and - outraged would also have danced upon the thin, impalpable air to the mortiferous pleasing of a rope. The people of lowa appear to have a habit of killing off the right men. Hence the superior attractions of that state as a place of abode for honest, law- abiding men, because it is out of debt, very temperate, with a leaning toward total absti- nence, has no train-robbers, nor any regularly organized banditt!, and a legislature that only meets once in two years. Of course, all lawyers condemn Lynch law. They have, in the eps pa @ profound respect for their profession and a reverence for the ma- Jesty of the law. And, in the second place, the mob on its way to hang some people does not employ counsel, nor does it ever consent to put off until the December term, A. D. 1890. the hanging that it ean attend to in fifteen minutes. The man at the loose end of the rope is also op- posed to taking the law out of the of the regularly constituted courts. There was plenty of law in California in the nace Pepe atpamgion po I 2 and pienty of courts, wyers. But in 1851 a vigilance committee was found to bea necessityin San Francisco. The famous vigi- — ee - 1856 — & “lawless” a ization, quiet. orderly, dignified, composed of honest ‘om influential citizens who administered good justice in a most unlawful and salutary way. state government endeavored to sup- ress this committee, so the vigilants had to Bene the lawyers and the outlaws, holding the state by the throat with one hand while with the other it hanged four men who needed_hangin; and would have throttled a fifth had he net saved them the trouble by suicide, and banished from the state twenty-five blacklegs and other dangerous characters. Having thus, in one year, unlawfully restored order and confidence and secured protection and respect for the lives and ‘property of good citizens, the committee surrendered its useful powers to the State and disbanded, You see, when a court of justice becomes a farce, the court of Judge Lynch becomes a ne- cessity. Suebeey, The people are greater than the laws of thetr | # own creation, and sometimes they have to cor- rect blunders and misconstructions. Now and then a trial needs revision. ‘Errata: On A. D. 1888, for ‘Dukes jury’ read ‘Jim Nutt.’” Now when the proof-reader makes this revision the sentence reads more smoothly.

Lynch law is bad thing, but it is better than no law; it is bet- ter than corrupted iaw; It is supremely better than the law that stands by the open grave of the victim and holds the broad shield ot its pro- tection over the murderer. Herr Most never inade a communist in his life; it isn’t the Rus- sian students who make nihilists of men. James Nutt never suggested to himself that he go out and shoot somebody.

Rost. J. Burpgtrs. SS a CLEVELAND'S MILLIONAIRES, vidual Energy Mave Accomplished. The suicide of Amasa Stone and the death some years age of Leonard as it was rumored at the time—took from Cleveland two of her richest men, but by no means deprived her of the last of her million- sires. The Case property, according to a letter from Cleveland in a New York paper, reached ite colossal proportions by steady growth. The elder Case came to Cleveland when there a mere hamlet of that name existed, and vein thrifty and of a shrewd turn ot mind he bough’ land on the town’s edge as fast and as exten- sively as his means would allow. Asa general thing he paid prices that were considered rea- sonable. No matter whether Cleveland ever developed or not the land would be valuable, for farming purposes. Either because he the New England mania for acquiring land, or because he realized that one day Cleveland would develop into a great city, he kept on buying much and selling little, until gradually as business increased and plot after plot was occupied, Mr. Case found himself a millionaire. He never became 0 rich as his sons, for he died before the city began to get its reat growth. He left two sons. When the elder died his half of the property fell to his brother Leonard, a re- cluse, mathematician and poet, given to quiet deeds of benevolence, and sworn to coltbeny because of a taint of scrofula that he had no desire to inflict upon another generation. Leo- nard’s will provided for a Case school of ap- plied science, which isgenerously endowed, to which the panatg at present occupied City Hall belongs. In addition there were se eral millions of property to go to the cousing and half-cousins who appeared in unexpected numbers, and as many of them prefer ready cash to real estate, the Case lands will pass into the hands of the general public piece by piece. Amasa Stone’s wealth was acquired by per- sistency, pluck, Inck and industry. Invested as it is fargely in stocks and other negotiable paper, it would have been held together na- turally with more difficulty than the Case prop- erty of immense blocks of open real estate. The one abiding faith that the Cleveland public al- ways had in Amasa Stone was that no matter what financial disasters might overtake other men, he would safely ride them all, It was a tribute to Stone’s peculiar reputation, of which he might not have been proud had ft reached him, that when the news of the difficulties of the iron mills in Chicago, Youngstown and Kansas city brought a eupplementary state- ment that Mr. Stone was a large creditor of each concern, the general public said with one ‘Now, these vastinterests will fall into Stone’s hands. and he will grow richer than be- fore.” It was considered that Stone would buy acontrolling interest at a small figure, put in more cash, and devote himself to the making of iron with the same energy that he had shown in the making and managing of railroad lines. Had Stone been 15 years younger, this would doubtless have been the case, Perhaps the richest man now living In Cleve- land is Mr. J. H. Wade, who made his millions by judicious investments in telegraph stock when the whole system was yet an experiment, He is well along in life, and while sufficiently engrossed with the management of his estate, is not so harassed by his employment as to allow it ore to drive him into the grave or the insane asylum. Another man to whom wealth seems more of an incident than a passion is Henry B. Payne, who represented Cleveland one term in Con- gress, and who was one of the electoral com- Mission that made Hayes President. While a young lawyer in Cleveland, Mr. Payne married daughter of Nathan Perry, a pioneer who had purchased and held suburban lands after the manner of Mr. Case. The city grew about him, and he lett his daughter with miliions to her name. Much of the land has been held, and is covered with buildings erected on long leases. Of the two sons of Henry B. Payne one of them, Col. Oliver H,, has made his own millions as one of the chief stockholders of the Standard Oil Company. It is unnecessary to tell how Mr. John D. Rockefellertound himselfa man of great wealth, nor to tell how he created and extended the Standard Oil Company, through which gold flowed to him in a stream. William J. Gordon is very rich. He was in the wholesale liquor business before and during the war, and of late years has bought large tracts of land, covered them with neat cottages, and sold them to young business and profes- sional men for from $3,(00 to $6,000 each on safe payments. He has made no small amount of money inthis way, and at the same time be- come a public benefactor. Charles F. Brash is worth $1,500,000 at the age of 34, and George W.’ Stockley has 31,000.00, while yet only 39, The one created the electric light machine that bears his name and the other made it a place in the market. Judge Stevenson Burke worked away trom miscellaneous law and Into great rallroad cases, and at one time, having Jay Gould for a client, took to studying that financier’s methods. He finally made a few ventures for himself, and to-day is worth $1,500,000, and has only made what his friends term a fair start. When Henry Chisholm, the pioneer iron-maker, died a gear or@o ago, the responsibilities of the establish- ment fell on the shoulders of his son William, who had revently been called home from Chicago to relieve his father of some of his business burdens. The stock of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company, of which Mr. Chisholm was the chief owner, was divided among several sons and daughters, but 1s still unit so far as 2d Edition.

Portions of the letter were read referring to the plans for the Philademphia building, and ‘witnesereplied that of his own knowledge he knew nothing as to the statement therein le by the writer of the letter.

Counsel for the defense asked the court to instruct the jury that the de- fendant could not be guilty unless it was shown that he was wilifully negligent. Judge Wylie,in charging the jury, sald:—"A man may be negligent by drinking ‘too much, and he may also be negligent by taking a wild horse in the street, Horses should be broken some- where except on the street. The streets are made for pedestrians. He may not be negligent as far as his intentions are concerned, but a man guard- ing his horse is like a man guarding his dog.
