A St. Joseph, Mo, Mechanic recently
invested $50 for the purpose of obtaining
valuable prizes which he had drawn" "
OF course he never received them. After
cogitating on the matter, he wrote over
an assumed name, representing that if he
could draw good prize he would get
others to invest. Upon this the lottery
managers sent him about $50 worth or
silver plate, etc., the package marked
&C. O. D." When notified of their arrival,
he attached them, won the suit, and the

1t is safe now to predict that we shall
hear no more of the Ku klux in the
South. For more than a month past
these assassins have been gradully with
drawing from the theatre of their bloody
deeds, and as the time approached for
yielding up of the power with which q
murderer invested Andrew johnson, K
HULK dwindled, and rcceded until it has
now actuily vanished. HencefOrth there
will be no further Ku- Kulx murders in
the South, because those assassins no lon
ger have a friend at court. The work of
qlood has ended-Graut will give peace
to ri the country.

4 correspondent of the Tribune says
"The war of women against whisky has
commenced in Perryville, Ashland Coun-
ty Ohio. A man opened rum shop in
that place recently, and the women did
not like it. They proposed to buy him
out; but, as he intended to build up a
large trade, he refused to SELL The wom-
en- however, were determined that he
should not remain and so since he re-
fused the very liberal terms they offered,
they formed in line, and with axes on
their shoulders, marched to his place, and
deliberately broke in the heads of all his
barrels. Of course, the man was angry
and brought suit in the county court
But was beaten, after mourning heavy
expense. The people of this part of
Ohio honestly think that the next war in
this country will be between the women
and whisky and, though there may not
be much blood shed, you may rest assured
rum will flow freely in the cutters. A,

English ChancerY Cases.

Mr. Judah p. Benjamin, late rebel,
now practicing law in London, has done
a good many foolish people a service, if
they will but heed his words In pub
lished letter he warns Americans against
spending money to secure property await
ing heirs in the English Chancery Courts.
He shows that the funds devoted to such
objects are wasted on sharpers, and in
stances the great Jennings estate case as
a remarkable example Of folly, saying
that "some of those who have spent money
in this way have actually been deluded
into writing to me their conviction that
they were entitled to dislodge the present
Duke of Marlborough from Blanheim
Castle, by virtue of their descent from
the famous Duchess, Sarah Jcnuing."-
He adds this piece of information, which
will be of service TO many who hope to
be enriched through the accumulations of
Englishmen whose names they may hap.
pen to bear
Most of the persons who are duped are
ignorant or two point which, In nearly
every instance, would satisfy them at on
of the utter folly of the hopes they in
dulge. The first is that an alien cannot
be an heir in England when there is no
will, and that he cannot take real estate
even if to him by will. The second is
that, in England, estates devolve upon
che eldest son alone, aud on his eldest son
is succession, and are not divided 10 shares
rmong all the children, as in Louisiana
aud other States. Yet nothing is more
common than for persons to asserts heir
ship to the supposed shares of younger
brothers and sisters, or to claim, as na-
tives of the United States, hcirship to
EpglishDen who had left 10 wills.
