Yesterday was “drawing day" for the poor. Drawing day means tho day on which the county paupersdraw their rations from the clerk of the commissionere. On such days tlie old and decrepit men and women, with bent forms and whitened heads. leave their shanties and rookeries and totter up the court house steps. A talk with Mr. W. 0. 8mlth, clerk of county comiuiieioners, revealed some in teresting facts in connection with the indi gent people. He lias on his books the names of 85 whites and 43 negroes who draw every month tickets for 123 bushels of meal. These tickets, white call ing on their face for one peck of meal, are used for other necessaries. For instance, the holder of a meal ticket can get for ft rice, sugar, coffee, meat, etc., but no to bacco, whisky, snuir, etc. The paupers who live in tlie country draw a tlie first of every month, while those living in ttie city draw every other Friday. In addition to issuing tickets to thoae wc have already named, meal to issued to two orplinn homes. Tlie county hospital costs tlie county an average of $5,400 per annum, which Includes provisions, medicines, sal aries, etc., and the total amount paid out annually for tlie paupers is in the neigh, borliood ot $7,000. The majority ot these |iaii)>ers nrcpco- ilc who have grown obi and useless. They inve spent tlicir lives uselessly, aimlessly, and now, without the rainy day bank, tliey fall back oil tho charity of tlie public. For the last seven years Mr. Smith lias studied the pauper problem thoroughly and now, when one presents himself for aid from the county Mr. Smith can tell at a glance w hether tlie object is a worthy one. In tlie list now on his hooks thereto not one that does not deserve the rations. Among them arc many who have teen better days. One old woman who to seen on onr streets every day, and who draws her half-bushel of meat every month, has in days past walked our streets ill silks ami satins and dia monds. There is also an old man of the old time stock, to whom tlie title of major still clings, at one time worth $40,0001 When ever lie calls for his meal ho launches out into violent abuse of tlie war and its dis asters. Anotb“rpensioner was at onetime a county officer who was at one time well to (o'. All these have been unfortunate in life, in one way or another their money slipped through their fingers, and their days ore now to end in the hospital. Brown's Bronchia!

FACIOLLE'S FORTUNE. The Frenchman In Florida Who Wooed Wealth and Won It. The news somehow got to Jacksonville, Fla., that Frank Faclolle held a part of the ticket which drew the capital prize of $75,- 000 in the February drawingof Tlie Louis!, ana State Lottery Company. A search was set up for him by a reporter,/but he could not be found. Finally some of his friends were discovered who inspected, although they did not know of bis good fortune. Faciolle was a carpenter and cabinet maker. at 23 Fine street. He is turfy-seven years of age, came from Paris, of which be is a native, to America nine years ago, and settled in Jacksonvill about ayeorago. lie learned lito trade in F: ancc. II* dropped in on one of his friends the nieht before lilt departure from Jackson ville. and said he was going away. tVhy are you going?" asked his frien Oh. business to dull in my line, and can get nothing to do.” Tlie mystery of his whereabounto was solved on Friday, when he turned ut in the office of the Louisiana State Littery Company, at the corner of St. diaries and Union streets. Faclolle had in hto posses sion one-fifth of the ticket No. 71.312, which drew the capital prize of $75,000 at tlie drawingof February 12, 1834. lie presented the precious slip of peper, and it waa immediately exchanged for a on the New Orleans National check Bank. It was a noteworthy transforma tion scene—coming into the office a poor cabinet-maker, and leaving it compara tively a man of means. Faciolle is a single man, ami came America to better hto fortune. He labored diligently for years, but did not meet with much success until some lucky impulse forced him to invest a dollar in a lottery ticket, which he ordered by correspondence from M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans. He became aware of being entitled to a share in Uie $75,000 prize soon alter the drawing, and came here to collect bis money. Faciolle says he will continue at hto trad* for another year, and will then return to bis sunny home In “La Belle France" to meet Ms kindred and friends, who will doubtless he overjoyed at his good fortune.—New Orltant (La.)

As the Columbus Guards are to celebrate thelrf semi-centennial anniversary on the 23th of April, a history of the organization may prove interesting to our military readers: The Columbus Guards were first organ ized and chartered by the Legislature of Georgia in 1834. Soon after its organiza tion the services of the company were en gaged in the Indian war. It served daring the entire wsr. and in different engage ments with tlie Indiana in this portion ol the State, and in Florida, with great valor.

Tho comments of the English press on tho near volume of selections from tlie Queen's journal of /‘Life in tho Highlands" are characteristic and often amusing. Tho Daily Chronicle says: "Her Majesty once more liftethe (-At tains of private life, and take her p*o- ple into the fullest and most complete confidence, The secrets of her heart are laid bare with a mournful tender ness that shows how pathetically true it is, in tho Laureate’s words that the loss of him ‘who wore tlie white floa-- cr of a blameless life’ lias ‘left tlie crown u lonely splendor’ for Queen Victoria. Neither affection for tier children, love for her friends, nor re gard for her people can fill tlie aching void in the Sovereign's breast. The reason of tills is touchingly .apparent throughout tlie work. ‘Wc were i world iu ourselves,’ writes the wid owed Queen; and it is impossible to follow tlie everyday consequences of the shattering of this world without the deepest feeling and most sympa thetic regard.” Tlie Daily Teleqraph says: “Tlie royal volume will be read with sympathy, pleasure and admiration nt every firesido throughout the wide dominions of tlie august authoress. Tho gentle womanliness which has so greatly endeared tlie gracious occu pant of the English throne to her peo ple for nearly half a century and wfiicli has become a household theme amongst the most remote of her diverse lieges, is as conspicuous in these pages as ever. The same love for the Deautifal and peaceful aolitudes of nature In the Korin is vtoible throughout, a longing for retirement which the most exacting must understand and appreciate when they forget the Queen in the mother and widow, and remember tho losses spoken of with such tenderness in tliese pages which haa overshadowed the steadfast and couragous wearer of tho nobleat diadem of ancient or modern dimes. * * * • Her acute perception is as vigorous as ever, her memory for names- a»d faces are remarkably characteristic of her Royalty and the pleasure of accom panying her Majesty through the glo ries and wonders of her Scotch connt ry- side never flags.

She says: "I sat up writing and waiting for this luggage.

AtAlibottaford shofelt that it would bo presumptuous for her to write her name in Sir Walter Scott's journal, which she was requested to do by Mr. Hope Scott. There are many other passages which will be read with mnch interest by Americans, and tho temptation to sneer at her constant mention of John Brown and her private grief will be held in abeyance by the manifest sim plicity and sincerity of Queen Victoria as a woman. 8weet Cum.

On her journey to Clona, which she took "with a heavy heart," she de scribe* the following incident, which, fortunately, had ao serious conse quences: "Suddenly, about two mile* from Altnauinthosack, and about twenty minutes after we bad started, the car riage began to turn up on one aide. We called out, ‘Wliat'a tlie matter?’ There was an awful pause, during which AUesaid, “We are upsetting.” In another moment during which I hod time to reflect whether we should be killed or not, and thought there were still things I had not settled and wanted to do, the carriage turned over on its side, and we were all precipita ted to the ground! I comedown verv hard, with my face upon the ground, near tbe carriage, the horses on the ground, and Brown colling ont in <lto- pair, "The Lord Almighty have mer er on us!

Alice, whose calmness and coolness waa admirable, held one of the lamps while Brown rut the trace*, to the hor ror of Smith, and the horses were speedily released and got np unhurt. Almost directly after the accident hap pened I said to Alice it was terrible not to he able to tell it to my dearest Al bert, to which she answered: ‘But be knows it all, I am sore be watched over us/ I am thankful It was by no imprudence of mine, ur the slight est deviation from what my beloved one and I had been in tbe habit of doing, and wbat be sanctioned and antmved.
