The LOTTERY Maniacs.

Lottery buyers may be classified in regard
TO special characteristics in numerous subdi-
visions. There is the man who once secured
small prize, and has since spent twenty-fold
its amount in the vain hope of obtaining a
successor OF more respectable proportions.
There is the man who knows a man who
heard a fellow talking of another fellow he
once knew who had drawn a 'capital," and
he cites the misty tradition as a certain sign
that he is sure % have the same luck. There
is the man who saw the new moon over his
right shoulder the previous evening, and all-
gurs from the accident that he is to have
good run of luck. There is the man who
woos the goddess Fortune in dashing haphaz-
ard style, and pulling out the first ticket he
happens to get his fingers on, resolutely turns
his eyes ceiling-ward, so that he can thrust it
into his pocket without seeing what numbers
it bears; he has an unfaltering belief that this
way of doing the thing is vastly superior to
any other, and is certain to bring prize
sooner or later. There is the man who is an
exact opposite, and makes the selection of his
ticket a matter of close calculation of chances
by looking over the drawings for number of
days to get precise information as to what
numbers have been drawn, and from this
shadowy foundation divine what ones will be
drawn. He is devout believer in the SOL
emnly uttered axiom of the lottery dealer,
that during the year each number is drawn
an equal number of times; and if any one has
not been drawn for several days, he begins to
purchase tickets, bearing it with an unques-
tioning faith that is amusing to an unbeliever.
There is another man, however, whose faith
in his power of divination is as amazing as the
case cited is amusing; and this is the individ-
ual who is certain that selected combina-
ton of numbers is sure to be drawn, and who
rushes in frenzied haste from one Office to an
other looking for the ticket bearing it, and,
inconsOlable if he does not find it, neverthe-
less does not let fortune give him the slip al
together, but plays the numbers in that delu-
sive game called policy, which is to be de-
scribed. This sort of buyer can never be
mistaken. He is the person who rushes into
an office, eagerly calls for the ''Kentuckys,"
hastily looks over the tickets, departs as hur-
riedly as he came, and of whom the man be-
hind the counter remarks, before he is fairly
out of ear-shot, "One of the sharps-he's go
ing for sure thing gr'-"Lotte,y Gamblers"

Lucky "Unlucky john"

On the 2Sth of November, 1870 (says the
Chicago Tines, Jason McCord, wealthy
gentleman of Chicago, departed this life. Be
fore his death he made no will, and it was
left for the Courts to say who should inherit
his riches. An appraisal of his real and per-
sonal property showed that he had died
worth upward of 100000. Costly buildings
in the southern and western part of the city
blocks of city land and acres of country farms
railway, insurance, and bank shares; live
stock and steamboats, were scheduled to a
vast amount, while those who made out the
papers wished they were his next of kim
Outside of Chicago, some eighteen miles or
more, there has lived for many years poor,
hard-working farmer named John McCord.
Despite his toiling and his constant tilling of
the soil, ''Unlucky john" as his neighbors
called him. grew poorer and poorer as he grew
old in years. The only thing in which he
prospered wa, in the raising of large family.
Horses and cattle and hogs sickened and died,
but children to the number of ten lusty bows
and girls were born beneath their fathers un-
lucky star. When the boys were big enough
they too worked on the tarm-only it was
hard to raise enough for so many.
A few weeks since, the Court decided that
John McCord, brother of the deceased, and
his only living relative, was heir to all his
possessions, And the farmer, who is no more
"Unlucky john" but "Lucky Mister Nc
Cord" is often seen, dressed in fine suit of
clothes, in the County Clerk office, waiting
until the last entry is made in the title books,
to take full possession.

LincOln's Dream.

The President remarked that the news
would come soon and come favorably, he had
no doubt, for he had last night his usual dream
which had preceded nearly every important
event of the war. l inquired the particulars
of this remarkable dream. He said 1t was in
my departmental related to the water; that
he seemed to be in a singular and indescriba-
BILE vessel, but always the same, and that he
was moving with great rapidity to dark and
indefinite shore; that he had had this singu-
lar dream preceding the firing on Sumter, the
battles of Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg,
Stone River, Vicksburg, Wilmington, etc.
Gen. Grant remarked, with some emphasis
that a few such victories would have ruined
the country, and he knew of no important re-
suits from 1t. The President said that per-
haps he should not altogether agree with him,
but whatever might be the facts, his singular
dream preceded that fight. Victory did not
always follow his dream, but the event and
results were important. He had no doubt
that battle had taken place or was about be-
ing fought, "and johnson will be beaten, for
l had this strange dream again last night. 1t
must relate to Sherman; my thoughts are in
that direction, and know of no other very
important event which is likely just now to
occur.o ae5r aHi .lI-a 4a4 sui
Great events did indeed follow. Within
few hours the good and gentle as well as truly
great man who narrated his dream was assas-
mated, and the murder which closed forever
his earthly career affected for years, and per-
haps forever, the welfare Of his country
