Lutz, and obtaining the necessary authority,
made critical examination of the fortifica-
tions, and was on the point of leaving town

arrested him. His arrest, under the name
of Lutz, was reported to the government at
Tours. Subsequently the fraud was de-
tected and the Pr ussian officer was shot as

The premium for the best bale OF cotton
raised III the United States, not including
the Sea Islands, was awarded at the St.
Louis fair. to Mr.. w. B. McShane. Of Lee
county, Mississippi. 1t was donated by him
to the Southern Orphans Home, and was
sold at auction at thirty-two cents per
pound in that city, to Mr.. Tut. who re
donated it to the society, and then resOld to
Messrs. Shryock & Rowland for twenty
cents. The st. Louis Democrat understands
that the generous firm who have purchased
it this time propose not only to rcdoHate it
to the same institution, but to organize Il
prize drawing with it for the same. The
number of tickets to be one thousand price
one dollar per ticket. The desire is to make
this fine bale of cotton clear the society of all
Indebtedness. The Democrat seconds the
efforts of Messrs. Shryock q Rowland. and
states that hen the ST. Louis merchants
are informed that nearly every ounce of the
cotton in that $500 premium bale was
picked by the fair fingers of Mrs. McShane
herself, that the entire bale might be with
out spcck or blemsh and that it might be
sure to take the prize, there will be Il gen
eral rush for the tickets, as the possession of
the bale will be an object worthy of effort.
1t thinks if matters are managed right, this
unequaled bale of cotton can be made to
bring large sum to the society to which it
was donated.

The only yellow fever that exists here
now, worth qnoting, is the gold fever, and
that is on the decline. There is some fever
III the lottery business, and it is common to
many people who purchase tickets in the
Louisiana State Lottery. 1t is. however, a
healthy excitement, superinduced by the
good fortune of persons who have had the
good sense to invest few dollars in the
daily and single number drawings of the
Louisiana State Lottery J. Seymour
Burke, of 367 Lafayette street. has had an
attack Of this kind of fever lately. He was
the lucky holder of one-fourth combination
ticket, embracing numbers y. az, G9, which
drew the handsome little prize of two thou
sand and fifty dollars on last Monday. As
matter of course Mr.. Burke was a little
1everlsh-or if you choose to call it by some
other name less objectionable at this time,
say somewhat excited over his good fortune.
And none but the most stole could be in
sensible to such exciting results. As we
have sad before, there is no danger in this
fever, though its cause be declared eademic.
AS there are but few Of our people who
would not risk an attack OF fever from the
cause OF drawing prize in the Louisiana
State Lottery, let them not forget to buy
tickets and secure the chance Of wealth.

The Weather..

Last night, at halfpast nine, there was a
decided change in the weather, so decided
that occupants Of thin suits had ardent
visions of overcoats and flannel under
clothing. Somewhere about three o'clock
in the afternoon the first installment of the
long expected rain came to hand, precursor
of the delayed equinoctial storm. The rain
did not last long, but still there are album
dant indications that continued spell of
wet weather is about to visit us, none the
more pleasant because accompanied by u
wintry chiliness of the air.
Rain is much needed, not only in the city,
for lavatory and culinary purposes, but,
equally, in the country for the sake of the
maturing crops.
Much as it is desired, the delay of rain
has been of decided benefit to the cotton re-
gion, as the picking has gone on to compile

Mr. w. B. Cavanagh as TAarte, Ross, the

the assistance of Miss Jennie Engel as Alice

good deal of fun for those who delight in
the ridiculous. Miss Minnie jackson, as
Tommie YBriea, makes a rollicking boy,
always ready to defend the far sex, and not
