It is, however, at pic nics and tea parties that ii - l - i* 1 it. i* i_ 1 ? me spicnuiu cnpauiiiuus ui (iiu leuiaie lap arc especially displayed. It is an easy matter lor a lady, while engaged on a pic nic, to hold a plate of salad, another of pickled oysters, a third of ice cream and a fourth of cake, together with a cup of coffee, on hnr lap at one and tho same time. In feats of this kind the female lap is uuiquo. The young man who tries to hold food on his knocs invariably comes to grief. The utmost he can hope ter do is to balance for a brief period a plate of salad on tho ridge of his legs, from which it soouer or later slips, with the most painful coi.sequeuccs. As for holding a tea-cup or coffee-cup on his knees, ho recognizes the impossiblity of the thing. His only resource is to deposit it ou the floor, or on the grass close by his side, after which he usually steps on it, or at least kicks it over. This indicates iu the clear* est manner that man is not a pic-nicking animal. Without laps, pic-nies are dangerthere is no way iu wliich art can* remedy the niasculiue deficiency of lap. Let women go to pic uics if they choose. They can do so without violence to their clothing; but uiau is trying iu the face of nature when he undertakes to sit on the grass and to manage six differcut kinds of food. It is true, that pic nics consisting of women alone would not be popular. Ycung men lire needed both to cat the legs of chickens and to iso a mile and a half in ilm enn in bring water for tho lemonade.?W. Y. Times. . Vampire Bats in Brazil.?Probably no part of the empire is more afflicted than a portion of the proviuco or DaWta. the scourge of vampires. Whole herds of cattlo arc sometimes destroyed by this venomous bat. Jt was a long matter of conjecturo how tho auiuial accomplished the insidious and deadly work; but scientific men have now decided that the tongue, which is capable of considerable extension, is furnished at its extremity with a number of papilla), which ure so arranged as to form au organ of suction, the lips having also tubercles symmetrically arraruvHLIiafi^i, ,,, , i i | r'nTnii V r -,-'ou),0l ^ww^pl'tioalDiy by tho J ""huiafi, needle-liko teeth, is a fine, round hole, the bleeding from which it is very difficult to stop.

Recently she went \ from Salisbury to Danvillooti an excursion, h and there rcuiaincd in a den of vice. The w other day she died in one of the Souther- T lin buildings back of Craghead street. She was^dyiiig alone. The news got wind and people sought the placo to see her die.? tc Thero 6hc lay, tbo dance of denth in her Gi oyc, and with a pack of cards in her hands Si she would shuffle them nervously aud gaze >] around the room. th "Say!" she cried, "how much have von y uv got to put up 1" and who cut tho cards as if an , at idajtf Then licr thoughts turned to tfiet 0f old home, a child agaiu, and like a waodering bird returned to its nest, her spirit seemed to flutter for a lullaby from her bo mother's lap.

'? 11 'A-*--. -^1? 1IDDLED WITH BULLETS 1H HIS C*U * A vigilance committee, composed of from lixty to 100 men, each armed to tho teeth, ,ook poscssioif of Versailles, iud.f wn M^u-* lay night, and compelled all the it^abiuuts to keep off tho streets whilj, Jiil jrowbnrs, they lorcojl an entrance lUto^iiKc ail in which Tom Boyd who assaulted Miss 1 Stcvcus last spring, was confined. The jail room occupied by hiu) and by two other prisoners committed for lurceoy is about sixteen feet square. It is low and liugy, and is enclosed by a stone' wall eighteen inches or two feet thick. As Boyd was aroused, he sprang to the middlo of the room, cutircly naked. When the first blow was struck on tho door, ho exclaimed, "What do you want?" c,Wo want Tom Boyd," was the rcsponso. Then said Boyd, pretending to recognize a man's voice from Moore's 11 ill: lni? wlinl rl/\ vnn WOhf l?f til fir' The reply was: 4*\Yo will show you iu a uiinwtc." . JJoyd then tried to stop their entrance with a picco of timber braced against tho door, but, frightened away or thiukiug himself unequal to the task, he again went to the middle of tho room, and there he squared hiuiRidf Jot .a. Jim /l*tevv.sTklT<AFfti 1 not go lor naught, even iu uu unequal contest with powder and ball. Whilo this scene was in progess sonic one from the outside was heard -to say, "Shoot." The answer from the man at the door was. "I can't yet." Then iu an iustaut latter they were inside, "Put down your hands," muttered one of the blackened vigilauts. Boyd complied with the order, aud then the fusiladc was begun. The first shot took effect under his right arm aud whirled his form slightly, offering his left breast as a better target. A revolver was put so near to this mark that in the discharge the skin of the victim was badiy powder marked. Two shots followed the hist iu quick succession, and two more balls entered Boyd, one immediately above and one immediately below the left nipple. He still coutiuucd to whirl, fiually bringing up against the stouo wall, his blood spurtiug from every wouud.* llcrc he gradually sauk upon his hands and knees, and here his uiaddeud assailauts followed, continuing to fire. Ou his bauds and knees, with two balls through his lioart and unable to g.T--p a cry for mercy, ho was still a target fur the avengers. Two uioro balls lodged in his head, and still another and another entered hi# body, until fifteen bullet holes told of the unerring aim of'the marksmen, who stood ouly an arm's length away. Five minutes were, perhaps consumed in gaining an entrance to the jail; in fivo uiinutcs more the object of tho vigilauts' mission was accomplished. , Boyd was dead. In thirty miuutcs after entering Versailles all the vigilauts were gone.? ti. .... i? ? -.i- ? ?i jl ucj auuu ?nuj m?i ijuicujr ua i>ucjf uuu A New WAy to Pay Old Debts.? A proposition has recently bcwi piade that the national debt can cow be pnifrolfby thd* ' imposition of an annaal tax 820 on gcueiJpiTa," 810 on '-colonels," and 85 ou- "majors." There is no doubt of this. Th<r cnoruwms h revenue that would accruo from such J> source would iu a very short time wipe out (he entire debt. After this it could be apt" plied to the settlement of the labor probloui, as the fund would be sufficient to mako a handsome distribution per capita for the whole country. It is a wonder that General Duller and Mr. Kearney have not thought of this before. It would be no use to impose a tax on any title below the rank of "major," for Captain Vance, the appointment clerk of the Treasury Department, says that so fur as he can discover ho is tho only "captain" left, either of tho Union op Confederate armies. This is sad, bat ia lica 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" aro simply count - rfiA-u'ageS squeese^it out.? f Haltimore Srm. * r?A Parable.?Once thero was a mulo.? tt had n pair of limbor legs with heels on .he end of them.
