(How Do We Dig Our Graves ?
We must eat or we cannot live.
This we all know. But do we all
•know that we die by eating? It is
said we dig our graves with our
jteeth. How foolish this sounds,
t Y’et it is fearfully true. We are ter-
Sifted at the approach of the cholera
nd yellow fever, yet there is a dis
ease constantly at our doors and in
four houses far more dangerous and
■destructive. Most people have in
their o'.mjsp stomachs a poison, more
,rtlow, but quite as fatal as the germs
of those maladies which sweep men
[into eternity by thousands without
■warning in the times of great epi
demics. But it is a mercy that, if
;we are watchful, we can tell when
we are threatened. The following
are among the symptoms, yet they
do not always necessarily appear in
the same order, nor are they always
the same in different cases. There
is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad
taste in the mouth, especially in the
morning; the appetite is change
able, sometimes poor and again it
seems as though the patient could
not eat enough, and occasionally no
appetite at all; dullness and slug
gishncssof the mind; no ambition
to study or work; more or less head
ache and heaviness in the head;
dizziness on rising to the feet or
moving suddenly; furred and coat
ed tongue; a sense of a load on the
stomach that nothing removes; hot
and dry skin at times; yellow tinge
an the eyes; scanty and high-colored
urine; sour taste in the mouth, fre
quently attended by palpitation of
the heart; impaired vision, with
spots that seem to be swimming in
the air before the eyes; a cough
with a greenish.colored expecto
ration; poor nights’ rest; a sticky
slime about the teeth and gums;
hands and feet cold and clammy;
irritable temper and bowels bound
up and costive. This disease has
.puzzled the physicians and still puz
zles them. It is the commonest of
ailments and yet the most compli
cated and mysterious. Sometimes
it is treated as consumption, some
times as liver complaint, and then
again as malaria and even heart dis
ease. But its real nature is that of
constipation and dyspepsia. It arises
in the digestive organs and soon
affects all the others through the
corrupted and poisoned blood.
Often the whole body—including
the nervous system —is literally
starved, even when there is no
emaciation to tell the sad story.
Experience has shown that there is
but one remedy that can certainly
cure this disease in all its, stages,
namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or
Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. It
never fails, but, nevertheless,no time
should be lost in trying other so
called remedies, for they will do no
good. Get this great vegetable
preparation (discovered by a vener
able nurse whose name is a house
hold word in Germany) and be sure
to get the genuine article.
GIVEN UP BY SEVEN DOCTORS.
Shaker Extract of Roots or Sei
gel’s Syrup has raised me to good
health after seven doctors had given
jsne up to die with consumption. So
writes R. F. Grace, Kirkmanville,
fTodd county, Ky.
HE HEARD OF IT JUST IN TIME.
k “I had been about given up to
die with dyspepsia when I first saw
the advertisement of Shaker Extract
cf Roots or Seigel’s Syrup. After
using four bottles I was able to at
tend to my business as well as ever.
I know of several cases of chills and
fever that have been cured by it.”
So writes Mr. Thos. Pullmm, of
Taylor, Geneva county, Ala.
WORTH TEN DOLLARS A B TITLE.
Mr. Thomas B. Evans, of the firm
•of Evans & Bro., Merchants, Horn
town, Accomack Co., Va„ writes
that he had been sick with digestive
disorders for many years and had
tried;many physicians and medicines
without benefit. He began to use
Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel’s
Syrup about the ist of Jan. 1887,
and was so much better in three
weeks that he considered himself
practically a well man. He adds:
“I have at this time one bottle on
hand, and if I could not get any
more I would not take a ten dollar
bill for it.”

NEWS BY WIRE.
The Wind Blowing Sixty Miles
an Hour.
great damage done to shipping.
Milwaukee, October 24.—The gale that
prevailed Saturday night on the lake is re
ported to have been the severest of the season
by vessel masters. It continued last night
with Hurries of snow. The wind blew forty
five miles an hour all day yesterday, and a
large fleet was in the harbor for shelter. At
4 o'clock this morning the schooner Maine, of
Chicago, was wrecked here and is a total loss.
She struck one hundred and fifty feet oil shore
and for half an hour the six men comprising
her crew clung desperately to .the rigging,
while the seas broke clear over them. The
life saving crew rescued them in a nearly ex
hausted condition. The wind blew from north
east tonorth forty miles an hour all day, while a
blinding snowstorm raged, making" the gale
doubly dangerous for vessels.
The captain and crew of the schooner George
Sherman have reached the city and report the
Sherman a total wreck on Shot Point, about
ten miles from Marquette. The Alva Bradley
struck at about the same place a little before
and Mr. Gifford thinks her crew also escaped.
The Sherman’s crew took to a boat, and while
going ashore the mainmast fell across the boat,
without injuring any one; all were saved.
They struck the beach at 3:30 p. m. and kept
wandering around in woods until G o'clock in
blinding snow, almost dead from exhaustion,
dragging the woman cook on a litter. When
they reached the railroad track they flagged
an ore train bound for Marquette. It is be
lieved the crew of the Bradley are now roam
ing around in the woods in the terrible storm,
and the city marshal, with a gang of fifteen
men, has gone to find them if possible. The
Lawrence is also probably lost, as she passed
Sault yesterday for Portage entry.
Buffalo, N. Y., October 24. —A great gale
swept over this city this morning, the wind at
taining a maximum velocity of sixty-six miles
per hour. One house was blown down. Shade
trees, signs and windows suffered terribly. No
serious damage is renorted from the lake.
Forest Fires Fanned by the Hurricane—A
Sawmill Burned.
Chicago, October 25.—A Wellsville, Ohio,
special says: The hurricane which blew all of
yesterday has subsided, and to this may bo at
tributed the saving of the town of "Empire
from complete destruction by a terrible forest
fire. The fire is now under control. All
valuable properl y in the place was saved, owing
to the work of the citizens day and night. The
railroad company sent a largo force of men on
a special train to the scene, and they rendered
heroic service. The drouth in this section
continues. The woods at Industry have been
burning for two days. Yesterday fire broke
out in Sarly’s woods at Salineville and burned
several acres of valuable timber. The loss is
unknown.
Sr. Louis, October 25.—The sawmill, shingle
mill and planing mill of Mr. C. C. Loomis,
situated about three miles north of Little
Rock, Ark., on the Iron Mountain railroad, at
Loomis station, was consumed by fire last
night. The cause was fire in the woods, and
so fierce were the flames and so rapid their ad
vance that Loomis and his men were com
pelled to seek safety in flight. So parched
and dry were the woods around the mill that
the flames rau through the tops of trees, de
vouring everything in their way. About
8150,000 worth of fine lumber was destroyed,
with all buildings about them. Loomis puts
his loss at 80,000 to 8”,000, upon which there
was no insurance.
Before Sailing for Europe Mr. Gould Tells
His Flans.
New York, October 29—Jay Gould and
party sailed for Europe to-day. The party
consisted of Jay Gould, Mrs. Gould, Miss Nel
lie Gould, aged sixteen, Annie Gould, aged
eight, a young son, aged six, and Captain
Shackford.
Wlfen Mr. Gould had gotten things some
what in order on shipboard ho left Ids friends,
and made himself the center of a group of re
porters, wiio were waiting for him.
“Now,” said he, “what can Ido for you?
What do you want mo to say? Don’t talk
business, though, fori am thinking of nothing
but pleasure; that is what I am bent upon at
present, and expect to attend to for the next
three or four months.”
Without waiting to be questioned, he con
tinued :
“We are going to Gibraltar, where rap yacth
is to meet us. Then we will cruise around the
Mediterranean for two months. No business,
only pleasure. George is capable, and I rely
upon him, aided by the advice of ray friends.
I wish you would deny the statement that my
physician goes with mo. I am not sick—only
m need of rest. I expect to bo home in the
early spring.”
Latrobe, Democrat Elected—Democratic Ma
jority in the Council.
Baltimore, Md., October 26.—Considering
the exciting campaign preceding it, today’s
election for mayor passed off with unusual
quietness. There were a few disturbances of
small importance and one fatal shooting affray
in which Edward Allers, an independent dem
ocrat, shot and killed Edward Dailey, one of
the regulars. Aller’s friends claim that the
shooting was accidental, but he was placed un
der arrest and will be charged witli murder.
The vote polled aggregated 65,075, of which
Latrobe, democrat, got 34,640 and
Bartlett, republican, 30,435, giving
Latrobe a majority of 4,250, a
democratic gain of near 2,000 since the elec
tion for mayor two years ago. The newly
elected city council will consist of twelve
democrats "and eight republicans in the first
branch and seven democrats and three republi
cans in the second branch. The result of the
election was a great suprise to the republicans,
who counted largely upon the reformers aid
and were confident of victory. Already cries
of fraud are heard and renewed efforts will bo
made to carry the state at the gubernational
election two weeks hence.
To be Gobbled up by the Standard Oil Com
pany.
New York, October 26. [Special.]—
There is considerate stir in cotton oil
trust certificates, and sensatiend rumors
afloat concerning the company. It is said on good
authority, Ithat J. 11. Flagler will immediately be
made president, other parties iu the close sympathy
with the Standard Oil company, will be put in the
directory. It Is further intimated that a deal has
been formally inaugurated, looking to a total ab
sorptioniof the Cotton Oil Trust by the Standard Oil
company. These reports, whether true or
not, have had the effect of making
cotton oil very active for the last two days, and the
I rice has advanced from 27 to a fraction above ;.0.

Excitement at a Funeral.
Tiffin,O.,Octolx r 27. At afum ral near Sy
camore today the team attached to the hearse
ran away, and the vehicle was reduced almost
to kindlmg w<kml. The coffin was dashed to
the ground, the lid torn off and the corp.-e
rolled into a ditch by the roadside. Other

nire of seventeen jurors for civil cases called
iu third district court today, were all Mormons.

Stevens, attorney of the Toledo, Peoria and
Warsaw railway, says the company has. up to

A Coal Famine.
Springfield, 111., October 25.—0 n account
of the scarcity of coal, caused by the strike of the
coal miners in thus district, the public schools were
today compelled to close. The price of anthracite
coal has advanced SI per ton, and 100 per cent ad
vance in bituminous coal is predicted. A few days
of cold weather will cause a shortage of fuel among
private consumers.
IMPRISONED IN A TANK.
Paterson, October 27.—A very remarkable
accident occurred at the Grant Locomotive
works in this city about 5 o’clock this evening.
Archibald McFadden, aged forty, crawled into
a water tank which formed a part of the ten
der of a new locomotive, in order to remedy a
slight defect before the locomotive was sent
out of the shop. Ho entered through the holo
on top through which the tank is filled with
water, taking with him, besides his tools, an
oil lamp and a piece of carpet to put uuder his
knees when he knelt on the hard iron. The
interior of the tank is braced with rods run
ning in all directions, and it is like making
one’s way through the meshes of a series of
nets to move about in it.
McFadden entered the tank about 5 o’clock.
A few moments afterward the other men
heard smothered cries and groans issuing from
the hole, and a little later a cloud of smoke
came out. The man had upset his lamp, set
fire to his clothing and the piece of carpet, and
was unable to make his way out. Ono after
another men entered the hole, but each
immediately camo out again choking and half
smothered with the smoko and gases given off
by the oily flames inside. The shrieks of Mc-
Fadden for help made them redouble their
efforts, but in vain. A stream of water was
poured in to put out the fire, until it was found
neccssaYy to stop lest the water should drown
the imprisoned workman. Then a stream of
air was pumped in to keep him from suffocat
es-
The affair caused the most intense excite
ment. Hundreds of men gathered around the
tank making all sorts of suggestions, and again
and again venturesome men volunteered to go
in, but no one got his body out of sight before
he backed out. W. W. Evans, the manager
of the company, offered 8100 reward for the
man who would rescue McFadden, but it was
of no avail. It was a physical impossibility to
penetrate far into the tank.
“Then,” said Mr. Evans, “tear out the top of
the tank.”
A hundred hammers avd cold chisels wore at
once at work, and the rivet heads flew in all
directions. In fifteen minutes the stout boiler
iron was torn away enough to allow the unfor
tunate man to be rescued. Ho was nearly dead
when he was taken out, for he had been'in the
tank nearly an hour and a half, having gone in
about five o’clock and had been taken out
about half-past six o’clock. He was frightful
ly burned about the logs and lower part of the
body, and it is feared that ho cannot recover.
Ho was at once removed to the Sisters’ hoc- ,
pital, where he now lies in a very critical con
dition. Ho had managed to put out the fire
with the water that had been poured in and
the air forced in had saved his life; but he is
suffering from the shock.
Asthma.
A young man taken down with asthma was
very much frightened, and went to the best
physician in the place andstatedhissyinptoms,
and in great suspense awaited the response.
After several questions the answer was:
“Long life and ill health. Your disease is
asthma.” The first clause of physician’s
answer comforted the young man, who feared
death was near. But the second clause, given
after waiting a little while, depressed his spirits
to nearly as low a point as he had reached
when he entered the doctor’s office. This con
sultation was held before the discovery of our
Compound Oxygen. By its use multitudes of
sufferers from asthma have been cured. A
monograph giving reports of cases of asthma,
and our brocure, “Compound Oxygen.—lts

Hideous in Every Guise,
Whether it be the best known form, chills and
fever, or else bilious remittent, double ague or
ague cake, is that abominable disorder involv
ing the liver, the bowels and the kidneys
known as malaria. Every complaint class
ified under this generic, though erroneous ap
pollution, is destructive of the nervous system
but is, unhappily, not to bo subdued, or oven
checked, by the use of ordinary nervines, feb
rifuges or tonics. There is, however, prompt
relief and ultimate cure to be found in Hostet
ter’s Stomach Bitters, foremost among the
proprietary remedies of America, and widely
known in other lands. Not only diseases born
of miasma, but rheumatic complaints, superin
duced by exposure in bad weather, inherited or
incurred debility of the kidneys or bladder,
dyspepsia and an irregular condition of bowels,
are curable—nay, certain to bo cured by this
deservedly esteemed and professionally sanc
tioned corrective.

GORDON IN OHIO.
A Grand Reception to Georgia's
Governor.
HE IGNORES GOVERNOR FORAKER
Cincinnati, 0., October 28.—[Special.]—
j General John B. Gordon, governor of Georgia,
accompanied by bis wife, arrived in the city at
8:15 this inorning, over the Cincinnati South
ern railroad, and was met at the depot by ex-
Mayor William Means and Major J. I’. Donald
son. The distinguished visitor and his wife
were driven to the Grand hotel, where they
registered simply as “J. B, Gordon and wife,
Ga.”
Governor Gordon comes here to begin a se
ries of campaign speeches|in this state,in bohal
of the democracy. He announces his inten
tion of defending the south against the attacks
of Governor Foraker, and the latter has thrown
down the gauntlet by dubbing him a kukluxer,
and laying at his feet an array of damaging
charges. The general and his wife, upon their
arrival, retired at once, having been traveling
all night. Their trip north was a pleasantone,
and without any unusual incident.
HOW THE DAY WAS SPENT.
The guests spent a quiet day, enjoying the
sights of the city under the escort of ex-Mayor
Means. There were many callers at the hotel,
and for a time the visitors wore so numerous
that the governor’s parlors partook of the as
pect of a public reception. Many of the most
prominent citizens of Cincinnati called during
the afternoon, and went away well pleased
wit!i Georgia’s spirited governor. In the after
noon the governor was escorted to the High
land house, where a crowd, which filled tho
large corridors to suffocation, was in waiting to
receive him. General William H. Morgan, of
Mt. Vernon, 0., shared the honors of the even
ing with him.
GOVERNOR GORDON SPORE
for fully two hours, and delighted his audience,
which numbered fully four thousand people.
Governor Gordon’s reception amounted to an
ovation, and a more enthusiastic audience never
listened to an orator. Governor Gordon en
tirely ignored Governor Foraker, and devoted
the most of his speech to the relative positions
of the north and south, and the flag question.
Vindicating the claim of ex-rebels to loy
alty, he said:
In the great city of Augusta, on an occasion
when we had met to do honor to our dead com
rades about their graves, to cover them |with La
grant flowers, 1 said this, pointing to the banner of
my country which hung overhead: “Here hangs
above us the flag of tnw union. Let us honor it as
an emblem of freedom, of equality and of unity,
remembering there is not a star oil its blue flcld
which is not made brighter by the light reflected
from southern skies; not a white line on its folds
but is made whiter and purer by that south’s in
corruptible record in office; not one of its
crimson stripes that is not deeper and richer
from southern blood shed in its defense in every
war with foreign power.’
I am not here to talk new doctrines; I want to say
to you again that before the guns had ceased their
terrific roar at Apmmattox, 1 began this style of
talk, and in the south. In the senate, in Boston, in
Charleston, across the Atlantic—everywhere, I have
been appealing for peace and unity and concord as
the surest legacy for our children to inherit. | Ap
plause.]
Let me mention another charge that has been
used with one effect, I presume, in this state,
sought to be fixed upon the northern mind to win
votes against the south—let us see how much there
is in it. The charge is that we op: ress the colored
people, and 1 have some tremendous things to say
about that. Will you hear me? [Cries of “Yes.’j
These people were in slavery. How they got there,
it is not necessary for me to say tonight. His
tory will tell you about that. We found
it in our midst. It came to us
as an institution- We love those negroes. Ho
you believe that? Let me give you the facts about
it. We love them, and why? They were part of
our household. Negro boys on my father’s planta
tion were playmates of my youth. The only fights
that I can recall that I had in my youth were battles
fur insults, as I conceived them to be, to my negro
playmates around me. {Applause.J On my own
place to lay, out in the country, there is not one while
soul, not one. My fiirniture, my lands, my all, is
in their hands to-day, and has boon ever since I
have boon governor, and while I was in the senate,
in the hands of the colored people, who are there,
cmj’ old servitors. Among then is old “mama’’
(portion the expression) as we cull her, now nearing
ninty years of age. Hpon her bosom slept, seventy
years ago the mother of my wife ; later,
my wi'e, herself; later, still, every one of
my children; later, still, my grandchildren—four
generations—the memories of ajl hovering around
that dear old foun. Why. sir, it you could have
seen the gr evlngof the wife of my bosom to that
decreiad old black as Oman when she was
called to her bedside a few weeks
ago-when old “mama” was lying ill, the strong
est man among you would have been moved to
tears. They have in their possession—th so black
poonle -all I have in the world and I feci as abso
lutely secure at this moment as though I were down
there watching their every act. llow comes that?
bid we oppress them when they were slaves? it was
a law as inexorable ns the law of the Medes and
Persians, that the man who treated his slaves un
kindly was debarred from decent society. (Ap
plause.]-
Is that so? Well, lotus come to proof. We wont
to war some years ago and some of you will remem
ber something about it. We had a fight. Everybody
knew if the south was defeated these slaves would
he made free men and free women. They wanted
to be free. Oh! yes, there is no doubt about that.
They longed for their freedom. Were they op
pressed? If they had been wouldn’t they ha\t struck
for their freedom when they could? The north en
listed and was justified iu doing it, a few regi
ments of blacks to fight against us. In the old
south, if wc had proclaimed their freedom at the
beginning of that war, we could have enlisted every
one of them, to a man, in our defense. [Applause.]
How the Speech Was Received.
Cincinnati, October 29.—[Special.]—The
speech delivered by Governor John I>. Gordon,
of Georgia, in this city last night, is the whole
topic in political circles today. The democrats
are very exultant over the address, which they
regard as a complete refutation of Foraker’s
bloody-shirt issues, while the republicans are
correspodingly east down, and admit that the
arguments presented by the eloquent Georgian
are diflicult to controvert. 'The speech has
certainly, to a great degree, taken the wind
out of Foraker’s sails. The local compaign
committee is being besieged on all sides with
requests to make another appointment for
Governor Gordon in Cincinnati before the close
ol the campaign.
In his speech here, last night, Governor
Gordon alluded to the reception of Jefferson
Davis, at Macon, as follows:
It in charged that wc cheered Jeff. Davis. Does
that mean going to war again? Ixjiiih reason. Hup
posewed dn’t. Huip we we turned our bucks on
this pale faced, broken down old man? What did
he do that I hadn’t done? I don’t think I shot any
body, but I tried nr*‘lty hard. You might ask me
to turn the cold shoulder on the wife of my bosom.
She went w ith me to the front. She followed me
to camp, shared my dangers even to the picket, ut
times In danger of battle, and und r ; r ividence I
owe to h< r tender nursing that my life w.n spared
me. Why sheuid 1 hate her.’ If we
should turn our backs on that man.

rn'-rlt the scorn of every brave man in this audience,
and you would feel an absoluie contempt for us.
When J* If. Ihivls left ihe United States, he left it
rich with regret and full of political honors. For
our sakes he became poor and del aned forever from
politico! honors in hi own country. He lingers to
day with broken health and scarcely a place to lay
his head, dragging after him the wounded limbs
with increasing suffering tliat Lfliowe<i h m from
Buena Vista. What would you think of me if 1
said: “Go hence. 1 have no more use f>>r you?” I
am not going to do it. 1 would have contempt for
General Morgan (who sat on the stage) if he went
bark on the grand old name of Abrnharn Lincoln.
Put yourself in the other fellow’s place. It was my
fortune, a few weeks ago, at Philadelphia, to take
Dart in the celebration of the adoption of
the constitution, and when Georgia ha! taken
her part, 1 was proud as I stood
in the Stic its to sec the shattered remnants of the
union army bearing the shattered rem riant of tlie
<•1'1 Hags, and as they were viewed by that Octobi r

Gordon in Portainoiitli.
Portsmouth, 0., October 29.—A heavy
storm of rain broke up,on tl o city today. The
democratic managers hud made arrangements
to give Governor Gordon a hearty reception,
and notwithstanding the inclement weather,
a large audience greeted him. The
general, upon being introduced, referred to
the charge of being a “kukhix,” made by
the republican press, mid denied it fully, as
sorting that he never at any time following the
war, belonged to any organization except one
formed for the maintenance of law and order,
and that he had not, at any time, been a mem
ber of a secret society. Hu then spoke
of the charges of sentimentalism, made
by the Commercial Gazette, and acknowl
edged to the impeachment.
He then spoke of the reception of
Jeff Davis, justifying it as in his speech at
Cincinnati last night. He firn referred to the
subject of the flags used in the Macon demon
stration, and touchingly described the love the
people felt, for these war-stained banners, and
their desire to hehold them once more at their
reunions. He held that while there were
about ivdozen of them unfurled, there wore at
least 50,000 national flags displayed,
but that the northern correspond
ents of the partisan press were affected
with eolor blindness and could not see them
In referring to the late war the general said
that at no time had the south desired to de
stroy the union; that she had furnished too
much valor and treasure and blood to ward its
formation and building to wish it destroyed ;
that the war was only the outgrowth of a
construction of the constitution, which differed
from that of the people of the north. The
sections he com pared to two boys, “Johnnie”
and “Yank,” who fell out over a matter that
could not bo peaceably adjusted, and that
“Johnnie,” having gotten the worst of the
fight, had been invited back by “Yank.” That
invitation was accepted, ami “Johnnie” was
back to stay. Ho condemned
very severely the course of certain northern
republicans in the keeping alive feelings of
sectional animosity, and charged that in such
course lay the greatest danger to our republic,
and closed wit|i an exhortation to the people
of all sections to forge the passions of the past,
and unite in a common purpose to promote
the prosperity and exalt the [greatness of our
country.
The Luck of Some Men and How They Ac
cept It.
In the grand monthly drawing of the Louis
ana St.ite Lottery October 11, two-tenths of
the capital prize of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars wore sold in this city, the re
maining fractions in New York ami Chicago.
Mr. Laurent Faget, a well-known broker do
ing business at 181 Common street, was the first
comer at the lottery oitice Wednesday morn
ing, and, on behalf of a friend, presented for
redemption one-tenth of ticket, 13,(H6, entitled
to fifteen thousand dollars.
Having received a bank cheek for that
amount, Mr. Faget bowed his acknowledg
ment, signed a certificate and departed.
Scarcely had he withdrawn when in stepped
two gentlemen, Mr. Victor Tujague ami friend.
Tujaguo had drawn a prize and he desired to
claim it in person. 11 is| ticket,sß,4Bo, repre
sented two-tenths of the third capital prize of
twenty thousaml dollars, and wits cniitlod to
four thousand dollars.
Mr. Tujague is a handsome young fellow,
native of New Orleans, apparently 21 years of
ago, and with his lather keeps a saloon at 213
Jiecatur street. He bought his ticket from a
peddler iu his neighborhood, and is thoroughly
convinced that fortune is kind in the distribu
tion of favors.
He received a check for four thousand dol
lars on the New Orleans National bank like a
little man, smiled, and wanted everybody to
smile with him, and signed for the biggest sum
of money he ever received for his individual
account, for although his father has usually !
joined in his lottery ventures,on this particular
occasion the old •gentleman “guessed he i
wouldn’t go in,” for which unrighteously guess j
the o. g. is doubtless investigating his horo
scope with a view of obliterating from the
firmament his zodiacal sign.
Victor expects to add “& Son” to the sign
which swings over the door of the house of
spiritual refreshments, 213 Decatur street, and
to invest in such choice properties as he may
consider bargains, He will not loan money at
usurious or even doubtful interest.
The other one-tenth of the one hundred and
fifty thousand dollar prize was drawn yester
day by the Union National bank for account
of a depositor’—New Orleans Picayune, Oc

The Population of Chinn.
From the London Spectator.
It has been the custom of late to disbelieve
in the ancient estimates of the p<>j>ulai .ou of Chinn;
but the North Chinn Herald, a well Informed Jour
nal, publishes statistics which strongly suport them.
It ap)»car.s that the authorities nt Pekin have recen
tly taken a census for taxing purpoHD, and that
the village bailitla, whose interest it is to understate
the figures, return the jiopulatlon at 319,353,'00.
Five provinces are omitted, and their populndon, as
recorded in the lost census, brings the total up to
U’J'.’.O O,'XJO. Even this figure Is indejK'i.d *nt of the
population of'i hibet f Kashgar, ill, and Corea; and
the total number of souls ruled by the emperor of
China, ther-lore, exceeds 400,000,000, and sill! dis
plays a tendency t > increase. As the population of
India exceeds 2> r M),010,(0), tlie Indians and Chinese
together constitute more than half the entire human
race, a fact worth tl e attention of those philosophers
who study Ixmd >n and Paris, and then announce
that “man believes ’ this and that, fl here), re many
races of in* n, but some of the foremost among them,
</., the French and the Arabs, scarcely incr< use nt
all, while a few, c. y., the Ottomans, slightly decline.
If the process now going on continues for another
ccntuiy. the world will belong in the main to four
races, or rath r people—the Teutons, most of whom
will speak In ;lish; the Slavs, the Chinese, and the
natives of India. It L quite J4>sslble, however, that
they may quarrel, and that their m irch toward the
mastery o the planet, which else will Ix longtothcm
like a cheese to mites, may be seriously checked.
