I'armcri and \empapen.
We have leen frequently auprised to see how
many farmer#, well-to-do in worldly riches,
neglect or refuse to take some good paper for
the ia-nefit of himself and family. They seem
to think they have no interest in the affairs of
the world . that they have to deal with noth
ing except the land they plow, or the stock
they feed, and the children rearing in ignorance.
They forget that they are a part of the human
, u< ed upon this orb to work oni the
plans of the good and wise. Creator, and as
a ich have no right to hamper the great
streams of progress.
The laws of progression are as unalterable as
• any others of nature und that man who impedes
those laws with an offspring—children, unedu
cated and besotted with ignoranc*—commits u
sin which reacts not only on himself, hut on his
descendants in the long years of the future.
No farmer should do without this social
schooling, both for his own good and that of
* his children ; and in no way can it be obtained
si, fully and cheaply as through the newspaper
( perindic.d literature of the day; and he
w ito neglects to receive the advantages deprives
him elf of light, and lives out his days in worse
than heathen darkness.
S)i *< i siflort Southern < rjw
One of the most encouraging circumstances,
vn s the H.dtinore Sun, in the agricultural condi
tion and pro; peels of the South is the experi
ment which it has now successfully made in
the wav of a diversity of products. Hitherto
King Cotton has allowed no rival, nor even ac
oc-sorv, mar his throne. A prediction ten
yi H:;o that any of the cotton raising States
would in 1875 have a surplus of cereals
w ould have excited an incredulous smile. Yet
the States of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Ala
bama will this year have enough and to spare.
In addition to this u lpreeedent grain yield,the
old staple, though reduced in acreage, lias by a
more thorough system of cultivation rewarded
tv planters as never before, and they boast of
an independence that has heretofore been un
known to that portion of the country. They
claim that with their surplus hreadstuffs they
can odtain the means by which they will be
enabled to hold their cotton, take advantage
of the mnrket, and sell for cash instead of
following the practice that lias almost univer
sally obtained of mortgaging their crops early
in the season at ruinous figures. The agricul
tural resources and capabilities of the South
have never yet been fully developed. It is
able to feed itself as well as to clothe, in cer
tain essential respects, both itself and the
world. The sovereignty of cotton would nev
er have been disputed if it had enjoyed the aid
of such auxiliaries as the cultivation of the ce
reals ami manufacturing industry.

Take a seat in the editor's favorite chair, and

Be certain to smoke. Five cent cigars pre

If we are engaged in private conversation be
sure and listen to what we are saying, and then
go and tell it.
Don’t fail to spit on the floor. Spittoons a r e

Ask us to loan you five dollars, and look un
concerned when we tell you we have not got
it.
Persons with no special business will please
call oftener, and stay longer.
If you come within a mile of us be sure and
stop.
If we are out when you happen in, sit on the
desk, and read all the letters yon see. Plenty
more in the drawer.
It pleases us amazingly to be questioned, es

Scatter the exchanges all over the room :
turn over an inkstand or two, spit on the floor

To Cook a Husband. —Many good husbands
are spoiled in the cooking. Some women go
about us if they were bladders and blow them
up; others keep them constantly in hot water
whilst others freeze them by conjugal madness;
some smother them in hatred, contention and
variance and some keep them in picket all their
lives. These women always serve them up
w ith tongue sauce. Now it cannot be supposed
that husbands will be tender and good if man
aged in this way ; but on the contrary, very de
licious when managed as follow s: “ (Jet a large
jar, called the jar of faithfulness, (which all
good wives keep on liaudi, place your husband
in it and set him near the fire of conjugal love;
let the fire be pretty hot but especially let it be
clear and almve all let the heat be constant,
t over hint with affection, kindness and subjec
tion garnished with modest,becomingfanuliar
itv and spiced with pleasantry, and. if you add
kisse- and other confectionaries, let them be
accompanied with a sufficient portion of so
cresv, mixed with prudence and moderation."
♦V e would advise all good wives to try this ree
ipe and realize w hat an admirable dish a hus
band makes w hen properly cooked.
The Growing; Tobacco Chop. —Jhe recent

crop, not only make a great deal better show

so exoeed the very good crop of 1873. In Ken
lucky w here the greater portion of the tobacco
crop is grown, the indications are that there will
be a twelve per cent, betu-r yield than in
1873. Tobacco is an article that Ave

—Tlie Oangera of Eotterit-N to the
l*oor-Their Profits for the Kleh.
[Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Ga
zette.]
New York, July 28.
During the spring I took occasion to exhibit
through the columns of the Gazette the rotten
ness of the police system of this city, and the
immunity enjoyed by all classes of criminals
who could afford to bribe in a liberal manner.
Since then a commission has been appointed
by the Legislature to examine into these abuses
and my statements have ben abundantly veri
fied.
While the commission is dealing with mu
nicipal iniquity, I urge it to devote at least a
brief attention to the lottery system which is a
vast abomination. Its magnitude corresponds
with the genius of its master, Ben Wood. This
man has spent a quarter of a century, or there
abouts, in learning the business, and has been a
proficient student. He is to the lottery busi
ness what A. T. Stewart is to the dry' goods, or
what Vanderbilt is to railroads. Ben. Wood’s
character might be judged from the fact that he
is Fernando Wood’s brother, arcades ambo. It
is doubtful if ever before these two brothers
were more alike, w ith the sole exception, per
haps, of the twins of Greek mythology. One
point of great similarity is their political ambi
tion. Ben has been glorified in Congress, while
Fernando has been both Congressman and
mayor. The country surely would perish were
it not for such guardians.
HOW KEN. HOT AT IT.
Ben. and Fernando are old residents of this
city. They’ began poor, but had the common
ambition to live without labor. So they turned
speculators. About twenty-eight y T ears ago I
used to notice a tiny sign on a door-post in
South street which read, “ Fernando Wood.”
He was then shifting along, shaving any one
he could get hold of, and dipping into any par
ties of whom he could get credit. I need not
refer any further to the honerable Fernando,
for the history of the equally honorable Benja
min is more to our purpose. All idlers and ad
venturers are afflicted to the study of chance
and out ofjthis class a few of the more lucky get
rich. Ben. early saw the golden field of lottery
practice, and from small beginnings became its
master spirit This is the way Benjamin got at it.
DETAILS OF LUCK.
Ben’s little shop soon did so much business
that he opened a branch, and then another, and
soon until several hundred were established.
One may see in five minutes’ walk in any street
inhabited by th epoor various little offices dig
nified by the name “ exchange.” The shop
purports to be a broker’s office, but what does
a money broker do in these parts ? There is a
screen before the door and a curtain at the win
dow, and it is evident that w hatever business is
done here i-. not intended for the public eve.
But how does this office live? You may watch
it all the forenoon without seeing any one enter
so you me/ all the afternoon. Evening co* -es,
,and now Beseem ben m., -.if life. e
eaters the me. bank .vith his tools under his
arm, just returning from his day’s work. He
lias all day been calculating on figures, and now
will take anew chance. Next comes a house
maid who has a dream book, and has dreamed
a lucky number, which, of course, she mvst try;
and here is a grocer’s clerk whose pilferings
enable him to buy a ticket. In this way for
several hours the business will rush in, and will
make up for the morning idleness, There are
nearly one thousand of these offices in this city,
and the largest part of them is owned by Ben
Wood. Tie pays each manager a percentage on
the business and draws the lion’s share to his
own purse. No wonder he could buy his way
into Congress, and can run a newspaper, besides
living like a prince,
CHIEF CUSTOMERS.
The fools are not all dead yet. The harvest
of this class is larger. Anything that affects
chance is sure to take. Gift enterprises and simi
lar swindles never fail to attract rich returns,and
of course lotteries have the same charm. There
is a certain class which believe in luck. Ac
cording to their doctrine there is a mysterious
something w’hich some people get hold of in a
mysterious w ay. that is, in a way not easily ex
plained. Some are lucky in fishing and always
bring a “moss.” Others are continually finding
money and other valuables, while some have a
knack of getting people to die and leave them
fortunes. The writer, on the contrary, never
had any gift in that line, never was good at the
art piscatorial, never found money, (never had
a legacy, never made anything in speculation,
never drew a prize or even owned a lottery tic
ket. Whatever he has got is the fruit of plod
ding labor. In other words he is not a lucky
man, and he is very thankful for it.
WORSHIPPERS OF LUCK.
Others, however, as has been stated, ar wor
shippers of luck, and their belief is well ex
pressed in the language of one of them to the
w riter. "It is better to lie born lucky than
rich.” It is maintained by these people that
there are lucky days and numbers, and if one
can only contrive to be liorn on a luckv day,
and then also continue to get a lucky number
in the lottery, “ why, lie needn’t work for a liv
ing; only let him go in and win,” etc Out of
this lucky class Ben Wood has made his for
tune With reference to lucky numbers, lam
unfortunately so poorly informed that T cannot
speak accurately, but Ben Wood can. and so
can all his agents. There is a prize to be drawn,
and they know that the man who draws it
must strike boldly and not faint. “ You drew
a blank, you did. said one of these agenrs to a
disappointed youth who ranie to enquire. “ I
knew you would. You haven't cheek enough
to bring luck toward you. Try &gain, and go
in strong, and you may fetcli it next lime.”
Yes, that is the rule, try again.
HOW THEY TAI.K.
Ju-i listen to the gospel of this fellow : •• If
you have had a run of bad luck, why just keep
on, for it is a rule tuai luck must turn. Onlv
keep on, for you may stop just the minute lie
fort' the turn comes. Tiiere’s a fellow that 10-t
steady tor two years, but he knew the thing
must change after a while, and he drove
right along till the hick changed, and he drew
$50,000. Good doctrine that, at least for Ben
Wood, and to illustrate its practical effect I
may refer to the defaulting teller of the Fulfon
Bank in this city, who, a few years ago, was
-ent to State prison for robbing the bank. This
man confessed that he had for the space of one
year, expended SIOO per day in lottery tickets.
Pretty well for Ben Wood, hut who is to blame ?
Perhaps if the young man had only bought
one more ticket be would have drawn that
FORSYTH. GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING AUGUST 17. 1.875.
SIOO,OOO, for which he subsequently but vainly
served four years in Sing Sing. Among this
class who believe in lucky numbers are clerks
and even busine-ss men. w hile women of the
town are largely addicted to lottery excite
ments.
THE COLORED MAN S SIN.
The colored people of this city are notorious
for the same vice. Indeed it seems almost uni
versal amongjthom, notwithstanding the pul
pit objurgations of their preachers. I well re
member hearing a colored Boanerges denounce
“ playing policy,” as it is commonly called. I
presume that the profits made out of the colored
devotees of the policy business in t his city, are
sufficient to afford Ben Wood a handsome in
come, and he certainly should remember this
when joining in the cry against “ the nigger."
Perhaps if it were not for the “nigger” the
Honorable Benjamin might be obliged to work
for his bread.
WHAT ABOCT LUCKY NUMBERS ?
I am told, but I cannot speak from experi
ence, that to dreati of a number three times
entitles it to be called “ lucky.” Three, five
and seven are lucky numbers, and if you try
them your chance is good, unless a more lucky
person than yourself be a ticket-holder, in
which ease his luck may be so strong that there
is no going against it. I know a man who is
well satisfied what are lucky numbers and the
only reason why he has never drawn a prize is
because some person w’as “ born to good luck”
carried it off in spite of the. lucky numbers.
Oue of these days there w ill not be such a bom
lucky man in the list, and then the lucky num
ber is bound to fetcli the prize, “ hit or miss.”
A TEMPTING DISPLAY,
in the policy shops the drawings for the year
are carefully displayed, and are continually
studied by the fortune-hunting crowd, in order
to learn what are the lucky numbers. 1 have
referred to three, five, seven, etc., hut these,
though lucky, may be made still more so bv a
lucky combination. Now here are a few of
these combinations, say 334,077, 335,077, 335,-
707, etc. Who can tell which of these contain
just the right arithmetic to enchain that mer
curial “something” which we call “luck?” One
may see men, women and men children, study
ing these lists with anxious gaze, and even Irv
ing to read each other’s faces, or catch the fig
ures which they are .penciling with a nervous
hand. There are w asherw omen taking shares
worth five cents each, and even children are
accomodated with chances at one cent apiece.
From this juvenile rate Hie tickets range up to
five dollars, and even fifty dollars.
DRAWINGS.
These take place twice a day—noon and
evening; that is, they are reported by telegraph
from the offices which, of course, are located
out of this State. Out of every batch of seven
ty-five tickets, or chances, thirteen petty prizes
are drawn. There is a slang or “patter” pecu
liar to this trade, and one hears at the shops
such terms as “gigs,” “saddles," “horses” “cross
gigs,” words which refer to the different chances
The headquarters of the business are in the
Bowery, and at 294. Murrav ,GCo., are 'A v
to -pi-c-zcut th. *a - v il v enMnan, etlttoT
and Hon Benjamin Wood, Esq., etc., He em
ploys about forty clerks, of whom only two or
three are visible at a time, the others being hid
by a screen.
HOW TO CONCEAL.
As this business is by statute criminal, every
precaution is used to conceal the managers. No
one can answer any questions except that “he
is clerk.” lie does not know who pays him, inas
much as his weekly stipend is sent him in an
envelope. He obeys a superior clerk, or if he
be the head clerk lumself, lie cannot tell who is
employer. Someone has requested him by let
ter, or through an agent to go to the place and
do duty, and so lie is there. Ah ! Ben the Con
gressman, knows how to evade laws as well as
to make laws, and there in his den he moves
the puppets called Murray A Cos., safe from
all danger and legal interference.
OTHER TOOLS.
Not far from Murray & Cos. is the office of
Mclntyre & Cos., and besides these there are
also Simmons & Cos. and Sturges & Cos., but
these latter are small compared with the pa
triotic Benjamin. We may least thus conclude
from the fact that Murray A Cos. received dur
ing two months, nearly SIOO,OOO. Now’, sup
posing that the other three concerns reached
°nl\ $2.j,000 in the same time, here is more
than half a million invested in this accursed
system in the brief space referred to. But the
two months referred to are the dullest of the
year, and taking a fair average, I am forced to
believe that more than $4,000,000 are annually
taken in by the above establishments.
Now this would be a large amount if spent
by the rich, but when we consider that it is
taken by the poor, the case becomes greatly
agirrax ated. Just think what a fine thing it
w ould be if that sum wore deposited by this
needy class in a savings-bank. Still fit us sup
pose that even one-half of it had been annually
deposited during the past ten years, what a dif
ference it would make in the condition of the
masses these hard times. But between the tap
rooom und the policy office, the doom of the
poor mantis almost sealed. Of these two evils,
I am inclined to believe that the latter is the
more destructive.
CHANCES OF CAIN.
Like all other gambling institutions, the
chances of lotteries are greatly in favor of the
owners. It is a wv 11-ascertained fact that of
every hundred ticket-buyers not three make a
" hit.” that is. a large prize: The ruinous effect
on children may be judged from our previous
statement that chances are offered at one cent
each, which induces an incessant gambling
among newsboys, bootblacks, errand-boys, and
youth generally.
LOTTERY MANAGERS.
It has been learned that the managers of
the concern, 294 Bowery, are five in number,
viz: Colton, Franz. Bauch, King, and Benja
min Wood, and that the latter signs all the re
ceipt--. and the concern goes by the name of
Murray A Cos. The gross receipts of the pol
icy shops in this city average $15,000 per day.
< f this sum the shop-keepers retain one-eighth,
which makes a profit in their behalf of
EFFECT OF LOTTERIES,
It is well known that the excitement insepa
rable from tiiis nefarious pursuit unfits any one
for business. No man cun succeed unless his
mind i- ou his work, and no man ran have
nis mind thus fixed if it is devoured by the fu
rore of the policy shops. Mechanics and other
employes frequently ioe situations because
their minds are off their business, dreaming
over chances at Ben’s machinery of frau.t.
Ah ! Ben. y’ou are rich and know not what it is
to suffer cold and hunger, anti you are hardened
against the suffering of others, which makes
you great; but they say that sometimes the
handwriting appears on the wall, 4, 11,44,
and that these mystic numbers carry an inter
pretation you care not lell even to

It is a Nation’s death-cry! Y-es, the agony is
past;
The stoutest race that ever fought, to-day hath
fought its last.
Ay: start and shudder! Well thou mayst!
Well veil thy weeping eyes!
England, may God forgive thy past: Man can
not but despise.
Yes, shudder at that cry that speaks the South’s
supreme despair;
Thou that eould’st save tusd not; that

Thou that had’st might to akt the right and
heart to brook the wrong;
Weak words of comfort for tlie weak; strong
hands to help the strong.
That land the garden of thy wealth, one hag

The ashes of her sunny homes are staked with
patient tears. -
Tears for the slain who died in vain for free

Tears, tears of bitter aug.d->L-uH for those that

The cannon of his country pealed Stuart's fu

Her soldiers’ cheers rung in his ears as Stone

Onward o’er gallant Ashby’s g: av es wept War's
triumphant tide,
And Southern hopes were living get, when
Polk and Morgan died -
But be the leader on whose words those cap
tain’s loved to w ait,
The noblest, bravest, best of all, hath found a
harder fate;
Unscathed by shot and steel, he passed thro’
many a desperate field;
Oh! God that lie liatn lived so long and only
lived—to yield!
Along the war-worn wasted ranks that loved
him to the last,
With saddened face and vss.ry pace the van
quished chieftain passed.
Their own hard lot the men forgot; they felt
what his must be;
What thoughts in that dark; hour must wring
the heart of General Lee.
The manly cheeks with -tears was wet, the
stately head was bowed,
As breaking from their shattered ranks around
his steed they crowd. "
“ I did my best for you.” 'i w.ts all those qujy
oring lips could say;
Ah, happy these whom death had spared the
anguish of that day.

Weep on, Virginia! Weep the lives given to
thy cause in vain ;
The sons who live to wear once more the Union’s
galling chain;
The homes whose light is quenched for aye;
graves without a stone ;
The folded flag, the broken sword, the hope
forever flown.
Yet raise thy head fair 'and! thy dead died
bravely for the right;
The folded dag is stainless still, the broken
sword is bright,
No blot on thy’ record found ; no treason soils
thy fame;
Weep thou thy dead—with covered head we
mourn our England's shame!

You stand beside her coffin and think of the

The Power of • the Press. —Rev. Dr.
Stone, of San Francisco, speaks truthfully as
follow s : •* The newspaper is more feared to-dav
in Congressional halls and the high places of
corruption and villainy th in law’s and c-ouris,
the stings of conscience, and the thunders of
Divine wrath God i- a great way off', and the
judgement w aits ; but the ul>i< dtous reporter
thrusts his sharp g z into all covert and liid
; den scheme of afi ‘unerring | tective. The
j pestilent spy will tell ■ !1 he se<.| tr;> jt on the
house tops, print it for a nation of readers.
Goral ! Give us more of this! Long live the re
port r! Let every public man who meditates
a little piece of gainful fraud understand he is
‘shadowed’ at each step bv this unbought espi
onage, and though be may nor be converted
he will lie restrained.”
The Printing Office. —The printing of
- flee has indeed proven a belter college to
| many a boy, has graduated more useful and
conspicuous members of society, lias brought
more intellect out and turned it into practical,
useful channels, awakened more minds, gener
ated more active and elevated thoughts, than
many of the literary colleges of the country.
A hoy who commences in such a school as a
printing office, will have bis talents and ideas;
brought out; and if he i.s a careful observer ex
perience in in his profession will contribute |
more toward an education than can be obtained
in almost any oilier manner.
Pleasure is to women what the sun i- to the
flower; it moderately used, it beautifies, it re
freshes, and it improves; if immoderately, it
witters, deteriorates and destroys. But the du
ties of domestic life, exercised as ’hey must be .
in retirement, and calling forth all the sonsi
bilities of the female heart, arp. jerhaps. as nec
essary to the full development of her charms, j
as the showers are to the rose, confirming its
beauty and increasing ju fragrance.
