From Toledo (Ohio) it is reported how a street orator named Salvador Ross was nearly lynched. At a street corner Ross- made some remarks disparaging to the dead President, whereupon the crowd dragged him from his platform, tied a rope round his neck, and carried him to a large tree, where me rope was thrown over a limb. Ross screamed for mercy and promised to swear allegiance to his country’s constitution. He was thereupon let down, but not until he had kissed the Stars and Stripes and solemnly sworn that he would he loyal to his country was the rope removed and Ross released. “ff a man, who- is riding on a donkey and is bitten by a scornion, turns round and faces the donkey’s tail, the pain will leave him and go to the donkey.” This quaint ” prescription" is given in a priceless notebook 500 years old, now in the New York Library.
