Tomorrow, some contend, never comes,
because it is always in prospective; but
dating it from the present, tomorrow will
certainly come, because it is the day after
tho present, and, in this instance, will take
the name of Saturday. And to some who
have purchased tickets in the drawings of
the Louisiana State Lottery, and draw
prizes, it will prove lucky Saturday, be-
cause that fact-the fact of buying ticket
in the Louisiana State Lottery-win have q
beneficial effect on their future prospects.
Some who have prospective fortunes in
this lottery are sometimes inclined to think
they Will never come, because they fail to
realize them at once. But this is az unrea-
sonable as to say tomorrow never comes.
People do not always realize success in any
undertaking at the first trial. It requires
perseverance in all undertakings. Some
men persevere for ySars in industrial pur-
suits before their efforts are crowned with
success, while others meet with success at
the commencement.
It is the same way in the Louisiana State
Lottery. Some buy tickets and draw prizes
at once, while others are compelled to per-
severe in the purchase Of tickets until for
tune fayors them. It may be one of this
kind that will draw, the fifty thousand dol
lar prize tomorrow. But that can not be
known until the drawings have taken place,
and no one can hope to draw prize that
has not been provided with ticket

ing diseasA. What the actual tidings were,
Mr.. Hazlettpe's nearest neighbors and
friends in 0West never knew; but, from
the moment Of reading them, he went about
like one broken in every hope of life. At
once selecting legal agent, he, without
word of explanation, conveyed all his prop
erty to his wife, provided she appeared on
the spot to claim it within fifteen years. In
the meantime, the new house was to be
rented for the payment of taxes and the
agents commission. Having made this ar
rangement, with as few words as possible,
the stricken man peremptorily closed his
business in the town, even at great sacri-
fee, and disappeared from the West.
Eighteen years have passed, and the
strangely assigned property, nov greatly
enhanced in value, is still unclaimed. The
period during which the wife's ownership
was to hold good having expired, the
house and grounds are without known
inheritor, and challenge some Eastern
household to solve family mystery and
reclaim noble estate.

Something Wrong.

A writer to the Chicago Tribune gives
hint of a mysterious reality upon which an
ingenious and characteristic romance might
be built. In the year 1852 there came to a
beautiful town Of Western Illinois, on the
banks Of the Mississippi, a gentleman named
Hazletine, who informed those with whom
he became acquainted that he had left a
wife and family in Vermont, for whom he
West was prepared for their reception.
Purchasing choice real>estate in the town.
erecting upon it fine residence, and enter
ing largely into profitable business, he was
presently ready to be rejoined by those
nearestshis heart, and rejoiced in the opp0r-
tunity TO send East for them by gentle
man about to make flying visit thither.
The expected wife and children, however,
never came.
While the husband and father was eagerly
looking for them every day, In their stead
came 8 letter whose revelations seemed to
bow and blight tho reeipient like withez.'

Several engaged attorneys to defend
them, but the assistance rendered appeared
anything but fiattering. There was the
usual talk of sequestration, and carrying
the subject to a higher court.
The attention of our police will find &C
tive employment, if directed toward other
branches where human food and supplies
are adulterated even to a greater extent
than that practieed by the milkmen. Deal
ers will do well to make q note of this, for
there is no telling when or where raid
may be made these days. The bakers were
in q hopeless condition yesterday, thinking
that their turn would be next. Let all
people who violate the laws take warning,
for Colonel Robinson, now acting as Super
intendent Of Police, is a very practical gen.
tleman, and never proceeds without under
standing the subject in hand.
Last evening Messrs. Braughn, Buck and
Dalsheimer, counsel for thirty-three Of the
victims, sued out a writ Of sequestration in
the Sixth District Court, to regain posses
sion of the carts, cans and animals. The
wit was executed forthwith, and the pound
keeper compelled to turn over the property.
This probably opens suit against the city,
especially as the mllkmen have been H.
structed that the proceedings had against
them were not lawful, or at least not prop
erly conducted.
