RENOUNCING THE WORLD.
Baptism of Little 4 Lotta the Actress-Interest
Ing IncidentaIs.

The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin, Feb
ruary 20, says:-@About o'clock yesterday
afternoon, while six or seven hundred guests
of the st. Charles Hotel were preparing for
their evening meal, a select party was assem-
bled in room No. 175 of the hotel to witness
one of those scenes which remain deeply i'm
pressed upon the actors and spectators for long
years to follow. The occasion was double
baptism, the prominent one being that of Lotta,
the little actress.
"Rev.. DIR. Leacock made his appearance about
81 o'clock, and, after having been introduced
to the company, saying, I have longed to see
you, but was not permitted to do So, and then
added few words of congratulation to her
upon her proposed admission into the Church
of Christ. Lotta was simply and modestly at
tired, like little lady, as she is in the full mean
ing of the word, in black silk underskirt,
deeply pleated at the hem, with an overs<rt
and bodice of the same material, the overskirt
being looped at the sides. Over the boddice
she wore bretelles of q light blue silk, which
contrasted charmingy with the black of her
dress, and was in excellent harmony with her
fresh complexion and auburn hair, and looked as
bright as the beautiful sky outside, which
poured its gorgeous light into the room with a
generous warmth. At signal of the venerable
minister, the company arose, and Lotta knelt
before a chair at the centre table and the COM
pany Joined in prayer. The ceremony OF bap-
tism was then performed, Mr.. Leacock reading
the exercises from relic of the past, which had
been loaned for the occasion by Miss Bette
Irwin, a granddaughter of the sage of Ashland
upon the fy-leaf of which was inscribed the fol-
lowing:-'Hon. H. Clay, Ashland, Kentucky
with the respectful regards of Mrs. T. Allibone
Philadelphia, 1S4S, and presented by that lady
when the great Harry of the West Joined the
Episcopal Church.
"If the ceremony was imposing it was not a
little enhanced by the presence of this book,
that had belonged to one of the greatest states
men the world has ever produced. Lotta, who
received the name of Mignonne Lotta Crabtree,
made the responses in clear voice. Lotta
having thus renounced the works and pomp of
Satan, Mr.. Leacock proceeded to administer the
sacrament to the daughter of the first sponsors
of Lotta Crabtree q wee bit of human nature
still in her teething period, who received the
holy sprinkle under the name of Mignonne
Lotta Conner. There was a temporary squeal
when the babe was made Christian; but the
period was short, and the company mingled in
merriment over cakes and Krug and eventually
repaired to the grand ordinary where bounte-
Gus table was spread"

WHO Is THE LUCKY MAN!

An Unknown Farmer Draws the Hamilton
Opera HOnse-shaIl tho Prize be sent by
Mall or Expressf
One of the great questions ofthe dayi 8, Who Is
the lucky man who has drawn the splendid
Opera House at Hamilton, Ohio? He entered
the Office of P. G. Devlin, No. Wall street,
28 $50 in the lottery. This ticket has proved the
lucky one, and up to / o'clock this afternoon
the owner had not made himself known. A
representative of the Commercial, who inter-
viewed Mr.. DeYlin, was informed that the man
is probably farmer, as his dress seemed to in
dicate that he was from the country.
He bought his ticket about IL O'Clock in the
forenoon, just before the books closed, and was
apparently Ignorant of the nature of the princi-
pal prize as he inquired if it would be sent on
here by mail or express and when he shonld
call to see II he had drawn 1t. Mr.. Devlins
clerk told him TO call during the first part of
this week, and he would be Informed whether
he had drawn anything or not. The rural gen
tleman pulled large old-fashioned leather
wallet out of his pocket, paid the clerk $5
greenback, pocketed his "card," pulled his
broan- brimmed hat further down upon his
head, and departed. His name was not
taken, and the clerk did not ascertain
his residence. Therefore the question of
"Who has drawn the Opera AOuse?" is thus far
as much OF a mystery as "Who struck Billy
Patterson" 1t is Mr.. Devln's opinion that the
unknown farmer resides In New Jersey, as his
dress, manner and language seemed peculiar 10
the State ofpaving stones, clam shells, and ap-
ple-Jack. AS the number of the lucky ticket has
been quite extensively published in the papers
the great unknown will probably make himself
known ere long. AS 1t would be impracticable to
send the Opera House from Hamilton, Ohio, to
New York either by mail or express
he win be obliged to go where his
prize is located to claim his property
AS Mahommed had to go to the mountain. be-
cause the mountain would Rot come to him, SO
will the fortunate farmer have to go the Opera
House, because the ''pesky" thing cannot come
to him. A clerk of the ST. Nicholas Hotel in
s.
siding on Greene street, was equally fortunate.
gentleman who holds ticket No % 089 came
into Mr. DeVlins Office this forenoon and stated
that he had dream last night which led him to
fact he did come within nothing of heing the
lucky Individual an 80" being the only differ
ence between the number of his ''card" and No.
