It is rumored that Alfred Tennyson

The crazy man who has been arrest

One hundred and ten years ago
there wasn’t a white man within the

“And now, Mrs. Sullivan,” said the

A log of wood containing a sealed

1860.
A Western editor, noticing the pres

keg, or the bung of a barrel.”
It’s perfectly absurd to talk about a

“ Oh! your nose is as cold as ice,” a

He walked in for an explanation, but

WAITING FOR THE NUMBERS.
An Inside View of a Policy Shop.
It is welf-know to the general public,
but not to the police - who will receive
their first intimation of the fact on
reading this paragraph—that in the
lower wards of the city are numerous
little places of business, chiefly notice
able by the presence of the sign “ Ex
change ” in gift letters of large size, on
a background of dirty glass, which ad
mits light into a gloomy apartment
containing a high counter and a screen,
and sometimes repealing in the extreme
rear the knob of a suspicious-looking
door opening into the indefinite be
yond. Sometimes the word “Exchange”
is painted on a blind or curtain. The
only exchanging done in these places
is that of much for little, the man be
hind the counter getting the best of
the bargain.
The man behind the counter in the
“Exchange” office is a policy dealer,
one cf the class referred to above. He
and his fellow craftsmen flourish in the
lower part of the city ; and when the
notable raids were made by the police
on the wretched women in William and
Chatham streets, near by, the policy
business was in full bl&st, And the
policy dealers continue their trade in
face of public opinion, in defiance of
law ; and in most scornful indifference
as to the existex ce or non-existence of
oar splendidly uniformed and thor
oughly drilled, energetic and earnest
police.
Last evening, at about half past 6
o’clock, a reporter of the Sun was pass
ing 43 Chatham street. In large gilt
letters, on a wide window, was the mot
to of the policy dealer—“ Exchange.”
“From outside appearances the
dealer must be doing a lively business,”
thought the reporter; for ever and anon
the office door was thrown open by
some hurrying pedestrian, who entered
and was lest to sight, only to be fol
lowed by another and another, until
fifteen or twenty must have disappear
ed from the reporter’s view.
“ What is going on in there ? ” said
he to a spruce young man, who, leav
ing the office, closed the door quickly,
and started down the street at a brisk
pace.
“Waiting for the numbers, you old
fool,” said the young man, and before
the reporter could demand an apology,
or even catch his breath, the inSulter
was out of sight.
“I think I’ll wait for the numbers,
too,” said the reporter, quietly to him
self, as a stalwart policeman passed by
leisurely, swinging his club with reck
lessness, and whistling a soothing tune.
So, in he marched. There was nobody
in the front room, but on passing
through the inevitable rear door, the
new comer found himself in the midst
of a crowd—as many, in fact as the
back room would hold. The messenger
from “headquarters” had just arrived
with this particular dealer’s slip, bear
ing the lucky numbers in the afternoon
drawings of the Kentucky and Mis
souri lotteries. The dealer was busily
eQ gaged in chalking the numbers on a
blackboard suspended against the wall.
He had written “Mo.—Eve., 21-62-60—”
when a small man with a red nose, and
a coat many sizes too large for him,
cried out exuitingly, “Jerupiter! I’ve
hit it!” In his right hand was a slip
of paper with “60” written on it in ink.
He had bet tkat 60 would “come out.”
“What did you win?” whispered the
reporter.
“Forty cents,” said the little man,
with a dignified air. He had perhaps
lost fifty times forty cents before win
ning the pitiful sum whose possession
was about to warm his heart and
deepen the bright scarlet tint of his
nose.
The dealer went on chalking. No
further demonstration was made until
he had written down the last number.
Then a watery-eyed old man, standing
close by the counter, dropped a dirty
slip of paper on the floor and turned
to leave. Just as he reached the door
between the two rooms a sudden
thought seized him. He turned sud
denly, picked up his slip, and clutch
ing it tightly began to read again the
figures on the board. This time he
read them backward, and as he read
he called the numbers softly to him
self. “By jinjo,” said he, with a jump,
and a laugh that would not have been
out of place in a graveyard, “ its a 5,
and I didn’t see it.” He had won a
few pennies on what the players call a
“ station ” number.
The dealer was now writing the lucky
numbers drawn in the Kentucky lottery
As they went down slowly—l 2, 26,13,
12, 57—there were smothered sounds
of pleasure from two men in different
parts of the room. The one was a large,
coarse looking fellow of 40, whose un
shorn face could ill conceal the joy he
felt at having “beaten the game.”
“I crassed on thim,” said he to a
shivering wretch at his side. “D’yez
see ? There’s 12,13 in wan line; there’s
26 an’ 56 in th’ other, and I’ve got ’em
both. Two saddles, be the powers, but
I’ll thry thim agin.”
The other was a young man of 24 or
26 who had bought 42 to “come out”
first. His success paid him forty-five
times his original investment, whatever
that was.
The dealer went on—B, 2, 30, 17, 3
when
“ Ouch ! but I’m in luck 1” said a boy
of 14 or 16 near the door. “ I’ve been
after 3, 17 for two weeks, and now I’ve
got it.”
The dealer wrote 77 at the end of the
list of numbers, and then busied him
self in paying prizes and sell
ing new slips on the lotteries of the
next day.
It was a sad sight to see the motley
group of losers file out of the den of
destruction. Not one of the throng
had lost more than half a dollar, in all
probability, and the greater number
not more than five or ten cents ; but
again, not one of them could afford
even that small loss. It is just this
class—the very poor—upon whom
these petty gamblers prey ; the' class
who, but for the policy shops, would
not be half so largely represented at
the station houses, at the soup houses,
and in the jails ; who might—hundreds
and hundreds of them—become indus
trious and useful citizens, but for the
baueful effects of Lhe vice, into which
they are drawn by the cupidity of
heartless speculators, encouraged by
the apathy of the police authorities.
It turns out that the £IOOO book
never existed, and that the title as ad
vertised was made from the title pages
of two works, one Hush’s Memoirs,
dated 1830 ; the other, styled The Genu
ine Book, printed in 1813. The offer
was a mere advertising dodge to draw
attention to a reprint already, or about
to be issued.

AUGUSTA. G-A., THURSDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 18, 1875.
[New Orleans Times.*
A SATURDAY NIGHT EPISODE.
Henry Duchar, Attacked in His Own
House by a Party of Drunken Sol
diers, Shoots One of Them Dead.
On Saturday night, at about ten
o’clock, three colored men, Henry Du
char, Aleck Wallace and Henry Curtis,
were In company returning from
church, and while walking along Dele
ry street, near Burgundy, they observ
ed a party of United States soldiers,
numbering about fifteen, apparently
endeavoring to effect entrance into a
dwelling, while they put forth noisy de
monstrations, as if some, if not all,
were intoxicated.
The colored men paid no heed to the
soldiers, but quietly continued on their
journey. The blue coats were, how
ever, not minded to let them pass in
peace, and so several of them began to
call out loudly, “ here, you d—d nig
gers, halt 1”
At this the colored men feared they
might be roughly handled and ran
away, whereupon the soldiers
QUICKLY STARTED IN PURSUIT,
uttering continued imprecations and
noisy threats against the freedmen.
Luckily, Duchar’s residence was hard
by, and into this house the colored
men bolted, but not soon enough to
shut out the soldiers, who entered di
rectly after, and soon began to raise a
fearful row, sorely frighteningDuohar’s
sister and three children, who were in
the dwelling. Duchar, desirous of
avoiding trouble, retreated to a rear
apartment, reaching which, he turned
about to face the intruders, and then
saw standing in the doorway separa
ting the two rooms, Warren Hicks, a
soldier, and behind him
ANOTHER SOLDIER,
in the act of leveling a pistol at him
(Duchar).
Duchar, then fearing his life would
be taken, caught up a musket, (which
had been standing loaded in the room
for many weeks,) and at once dis
charged its contents toward his would
be assailant. The charge, consisting of
a fearful load of buckshot, took effect
in the body of Hicks, and completely
riddled that unfortunate person, so
that he fell down and almost instantly
expired.
UPON THIS TRAGIC OCCURRENCK
the balance of the soldiers ran out of
the house, and were seen no more. Di
rectly thereafter Duchar proceeded to
the Barracks, and relating the incidents
here set forth offered to surrender him
self. He was, however, told to go
home, and the military authorities,
sending for the body of Hicks, had it
conveyed to the Barracks.
On Sunday morning, news of the
affair having been transmitted to the
Fifth Precinct station, Duchar was ar
rested and locked up. Hicks was a
private in company D, Third United
States Infantry, twenty-two years of
age, a citizen of Michigan, and had been
in the city only about one week, hav
ing been recruited from the Barracks
at Newport, Ky.
Shortly after the death of Warren
Hicks, a soldier belonging to Company
C, Third Infantry, was caught in the
act of stealing a gander from a lady re
siding in the vicinity of the barracks.
Upon being interrogated in the guard
house by his superiors, the fowl thief
acknowledged that he was with the
unfortunate soldier when he met his
death. It seems incredible, but is
nevertheless true, that the reyult of his
companion’s adventure no lffae deterred
him from embarking in an enterprise
wherein the possibility of a like fate
awaited him.
Gen. Sherman’s Daughter Wearing
the Khedive’s Gift in the Custom
House. —Mrs. Minnie Sherman Fitch
saw the jewels sent to her by the Khe
dive of Egypt in the Collector’s office
in the Custom House on Thursday
afternoon for the first time. She was
accompanied by her husband, Lieuten
ant Fitch, and a large party of ladies
and gentlemen. Gen. Arthur sent to
Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse, iu the
Sub-Treasury, for the diamonds, and
she wore them in the Collector’s parlor
for a few minutes. One of her friends
assisted her to clasp the necklace
around her throat and to clasp the
drops in her ears. The parlor was
darkened to display the full brilliancy
of the gems. The ladies were raptur
ous over the jewels, and the fair wearer
kept them on until they had been In
spected and examined twice over. She
wa3 delighted with them. They wro
sent back to the Sub-Treasury after
she took them off.
[New York Sun, February 13.
He Refused to Marry Them. —On
Thursday afternoon a well-dressed
colored man and a young white woman
visited the city hall, in New York, and
made known their desire to be married
by Mayor Wickham, but the latter re
plied firmly, “No, sir, it can’t be done.
While I am Mayor of this city I shall
never marry a black man to a white
woman, nor a black woman to a white
man.” To a bystander who suggested
that perhaps he had not read the Fif
teenth Amendment and Civil Rights
bill, the Mayor replied, “I know all
about those laws, but you can rest
assured that notwithstanding them no
marriages between whites and blacks
can take place in this hall while I am
the Mayor of the city.” The colored
man looked surprised, and the girl’s
eyes filled with tears. They after
•wards made application to Justice
Kilbreth to perform the ceremony, but
the justice said he was “too busy.”
Marriage of a School Boy. —The ex
cellent little amateur journal published
in Alexandria, Virginia, by the students
of St. John’s Academy, gives the fol
lowing :
“John R. Hendley, a member of the
intermediate class, walked up to the
principal one morning recently and in
formed him of his intention to with
draw. Being asked the cause, he re
plied that he had placed his. neck in
the matrimonial yoke the night before,
and had to go to work to support his
wife, late Miss Oceanna Phillips, of
Washington. Jack generously asked
for a holiday for the boys, but the
principal gruffly replied that he did
not w&nt to encourage marriages
among the students, as it would break
up the school if they all followed Jack’s
example. So much for having an old
bachelor at the head of the school.”
A gentleman "who* aited forty-five
minutes in a Boston eating house one
day last week for a steak, in paying
the bill, remarked to the proprietor,
“ I think I shall want another steak
one week from to-day.” “ All right,”
said the proprietor, “you can order it.”
“ But I prefer to leave the order now,
so that I shall not have to wait,” said
the customer, as he turned to go.
It is enough for one thing at a time
