Lats at I'ic-Nics.?The lap is unques* tionably a most useful and admirable orgau "When cxpauded, the .lap will admirably hold fiftecu quarts of chestuuts, peaches, op{>les or other desirablo fruit, and thero have iccn women whose laps would hold the entire supply of hair pins required for thoii back hair?though, of course, laps of these enormous dimensions arc somewhat rare. It is, howovcr, at pic nics and tea parties that the splendid capabilities of the female lap aro especially displayed. It is an easy matter for a lady, while engaged on a pic nic to hold a plate of salad, another of pickleii oysters, a third of ice cream and a fourth ol cake, together with a cup of coffee, on hoi lap at one and tho same time. In feats ol this kind the femalo lap is uniquo. The young mnu who tries to hold food on hi: knocs invariably comes to grief. The ut most he catt hope ler do is to balance for i brief period a plate of salad on tho ridge o his legs, from which it sooner or later slips with tho most painful consequences. Af for holding a tea-cup or coffcc-cup on his k-ipps lio rorrv?nizps flip imnnssihlitv of flu thing, llis only resource is to deposit it ot the floor, or on the grass close by his side, af tor which he usually steps on it, or at leas! kicks it over. This iudicatcs iu the clearest manner that man is not a pic-nicking nu imal. Without laps, pic-nics are danger there is no way iu which art can remedy the masculine deficiency of lap. Let wo meu go to pic nics if they choose. They cat do so without violence to their clothing but mau is trying iu the face of nature when he undertakes to sit on the grass and to niauagc six different kinds of food. Il is true, that pic nics consisting of women alone would not be popular. Ycuug men arc needed both to eat the legs of chicken? nud to go a mile and a half iu tho sun tc bring water for tho lemonade.?i\r. }' Times.

She ?\'as a handsoino young woman, hardly 21. Recently she went from Salisbury to Danville on an excursion, and there remained iu a den of vice.

A vigiluuoo committee, composed of from sixty to 100 men, each aruicil to the teeth, took poecssiotf of Versailles, lml.f on Monday uight, and compelled all the iobabi-' tuuts to keep off tho etfeeth jj| crowbars, they lorco^ an entrance" iptoWj jail iu which Torn Boyd whoassaulted Mi as Stcvcus lust spring, was confined. A. The jail room occupied by him end by two other prisoners couiUnt.cd for forceoy is about sixteen feet square. It is low And dingy, and is enclosed by a stone wall eighteen inches or two feet thick. As Boyd was aroused, lie sprang to the uiiddloof the room, cutircly naked. When the first blow was struck on tho door, ho exclaimed, "What do you want?" "We want Tom Boyd," was the rcsponso. Then said Boyd, pretending to recognize a man's voice from Mooro's llill: . "Stouo King, what do you waut of nic? ', Tho reply was: "Wo will show you in a minute.** . Jioyd tlien tried to stop their entrance with a picco of timber braced ngniust tho door, but, frightened away or thinking hiuisell' unequal to the task, he again went to the middle of tho room, and there he squarod Luluki) fFui: ju-ffekLwitkJtjA "trtAffir not go lor naught, even in uu unequal contest with powder and ball. Wl hilo this sceno was in progess some one from tho outsido was heard -to--- ay, "Shoot." The answer from the man at the door was. "I cau't yet." Then in an iustaut latter they were inside, "l'ut down your . hands," muttered one of the blackeuid vigilauts. Boyd complied with the order, and , then the iusilade was beguu. The first shot took effect under his right arm nud whirled , his form slightly, offering his left breast as ' a better target. A rovolvcr was put so near . to this mark that in the discharge the ekin of , the victim was badiy powder marked. Two . shots followed the first iu quiek succession, . and two more balls entered lioyd, one im, mediately above and one immediately below the left nipple. IIo still coutiuued to whirl, finally briugiug up against the stone j wall, his blood spurtiug lroui every wouud. p Ilerc he gradually sank upon his hands and knees, and here his maddcud assailants fol[ lowed, continuing to fire. Ou his bauds , and knees, with two balls through his heart j and unable to ga-p a cry for mercy, ho was still a target for tho avengers. Two more t balls lodged iu his head, and still another C and another entered hi* body, until fifteen bullet holes told of the unerring aim oft'the ! umrksnicu, who stood ouly an arm's length . away. , Five minutes were, perhaps, .consumed , in gaining an entrance to tho jail; in fivo minutes more the obieet of the virriliints' ? mission was accomplished. , Poyd was dead. In thirty miuutes after ontcring * Versailles all the vigilants were gone.? They rodo away as quietly as they had A New WAy to Pay Old Debts.? A proposition has recently beqn made that the national debt can row bo paifroff by the ' imposition ofan annual tax 820ou gcnei^aTs," j 810 on ' colonels," and 85 01^ "majors." t There is no doubt of this. The' enormous H revenue that would accrue from such d source would iu a very short time wipe out (ho entire debt. After this it could be api plied to the settlement of the labor problotn, as the fund would be sufficient to mako a handsome distribution per capita for the whole country. It is a wonder that General r Duller and Mr. Kearney have not thought i of this before. It would be no use to im. poso a tax 011 any title below the rank of major, lor Uoptnin Vonoo, tLo appoint. inent clerk of the Treasury Department, . says that so far as he cau discover ho is the ! only "captain" left, either of tho Union or i Confederate armies. This is sad, but iu lieu of "captains," a tax might be paid on "judges." Even in the present dull times there arc not less than 2,000 "judges" in Washington alone, and the "generals" and "colonels" nro simply countless. Many nfl ni iii ? A Parable.?Once there was a mule.? It had a pair of limber legs with heels on the end of them. Mule thought his master did not gave him enough to cat. So one day as tho boss was passing behind him ho lifted up his heels and boosted him to the other sido of the bam, This is what Air. Mule cnlls n strike. lie thought he oould get all the corn he wauted now. Presently wanted water. * Ho didn't get it though.? Ho wanted corn, lie didn't get that. lie went to bod that night without his supper. Next day he didn't have to work; ho didt't have to cat, cathcr. All lie had to do was to stand and think. lie couldn't imagine why that master of his didn't como to iced him. The next day was the same, and the next. Hcforo that mule got anything to cat again he had grown so gaunt and gentle that he was willing to keep his heels on tho ground. I The strike had ended. '# T 1?
