men who take something feel ON such occa-.
sioss to be irresistible. The store is large.
and all along the walls, from the floor to the
ceiling, are rows of shelving filed with
glass and stone bottles, of all sizes and
shapes, containing imported and domestic
liquors Of all kinds. About twenty
feet from the front, spiral iron stair
way leads 10 the room above. Immediately
behind run two parallel bars to the rear Of
the room, the space between, about eight
feet, usually occupied by some eight or ten
bar-;enders. In the middle are dumb wait

friends persist in asserting that it is true,
and the prize has been cashed in New York
for Si25, 900, the balance being the per cent

first attempt in this line, for it is said he has
spent large amounts Of money in buying
tickets. This lucky draw has given Cltawba,
ale and whisky straight an upward lift, and
NO one car estimate the amount of money
that has since been invested in lottery tickets,
by those Of weak mind, fond Of trying the
imitation of big things. Many a poor fel-
