Drawing the Lucky Nunsbers i'm the
Texas Prize Concert.

Texas Prize Concert.
We find the following notices in the
Houston papers, touching the manner
in which the drawing on the 22d ult.
was conducted:
From the Age.
The opera house was well filled on
Friday with anxious ticket holders,
and many curious to see the drawing of
the thirteen hundred and seYenty-two
prizes which were to be taken from the
great "wheel Of fortune"
THE COMMITTEE
of gentlemen was one of the best that
could have been selected 10y the audi
ence. Mr.. w. ID. Cleveland, the enter
prising wholesale commission mer-
chant of our city; &. w. Pescay, of
the large jewelry house of c. w. Pes
cay q Co.; Sam Sternc, Il long time
merchant and energetic business man,
was another of the committee; G. G.
Wiggin is of the firm of Wiggin,
Smith q Simpson, proprieGors of the
extensive Phoenix iron works, of this
city. Hon. d. u. Barziza, who super
viged the drawing, Is our present rep
resentatiye, and one of the most popu-
lar men in the district.
THE Dh<tNlNb
was prefaced by an explanation from
Captain Foster, of the mode of draw
ing. THIS was well received and I'M
derstood, precisely as was explained by
the circulars. Captain Foster said that
while he wished all his home people
good luck, he yet was free to say that
with the people of poor Mississippi,
Louisiana and South Carolina, he felt
a greater sympathy, and he did hope
they would draw the largest number
of the prizes, that they might come to
"a free country, and make white mans
living. This sentiment was received
with loud cheers.
The drawing was then proceeded
with, and the result is announced else
where.
From the Telegraph.
Not even the most captious and sus-
pecting person could take exceptions
to the manner of the drawing. IL was
fair, honorable and equitable.
The committee and recorders were
of our very best citizens, and kindly
gave their time and labor 10 the super
intendence of the drawing, or rather
did the actual labor of it.
Captain Foster has acted honorably
and fairly throughout the whole man
agement of this enterprise, and has
given no one the slightest cause to sus-
pect any wrong intention on his part.
While some money has been made by
the venture in all probability, yet the
property given as prizes has only net
ted fair price, and the profit is only
in exchange of the property for cash.

THE SCOTT MURDER.

Ex-President Bruce, of Riels original Pro-
visional Government, has published in Can
adam paper long letter giving an account
of the murder Of Thomas Scott, which was
done under circumstances of more than fend-
ish barbarity. The Ottawa Free Press be-
lieves that "the statements may be accepted
As absolute facts" Mr.. Bruce writes:
On the 4th of March, 1870, Thomas Scott
was shot opposite the fort, little below the
road leading to the Assiniboine River, after a
sham trial, passed in the absence of him that
was doomed to death. M. Rel says: "On
the third of the same month (March) We
brought Scott before tribunal Of war" He
was not brought before that tribunal of assas-
sins before his sentence of death was passed,
and he was brought thither, not to plead his
cause, but simply to hear the reading Of the
sentence already delivered against him.
Among the seven who formed the tribunal Of
war, one-only one-had the courage to OPP.
pose the sentence of death, denouncing il AS
cold-bloOded murder. The six others
shamefully bent their heads before the petty
tyrants will. Eternal shame upon the heads
of those six men. Their cowardce has writ
ten on their heads the word assassin, while
the courage of the opponent makes to- day the
consolation and happiness of his conscience.
That man who fearlessly voted against the six
others, in spite of the abusive language and
threats. was Baptiste Lepine, Ambrose
brother, who, with the FIVE others, voted for
Scots death. i said the execution took
place on the 4th Of March, 1870. The details
Of that butchery cause human being to shud-
der with horror, and it is hard to conceive how
it is that mems hearts can contain such wick

been chosen to shoot Scott. / have here
again to write the name of man whose be-
havior 10 that circumstance reflects on him
the greatest honor. Augustin Parisien, one
d the six soldiers declared openly that he
would not shoot at Scott; and, 10 fact, he
took off the cap from his gun before the word
--present--was given. OF the FIVE balls re-
naming only two hit the poor victim, one in
the left shoulder, the other in the upper par,
of the chest, above the heart. Had the other
soldiers missed the mark unintentionally, or
had they willingly aimed too high, too low or
aside! 1t 10 unknown. However that may
be, a. the two wounds were not sufficient to
Cause death, at least sudden death, a man
named Guiliemette stepped forward and dis

head while he was lying On the ground. This
ball, however, took Il wrong direction. II

and came out somewhere about the cartilage
OF the nose. Scott was still not dead, but
that did not prevent his butchers from placing
him, alive, and still speaking, in q kind OF

4 NEW CURRENCY.

A large amount of drafts, similar to bank

upward, are being put in circulation in this
section Of New England, the Aroostook section
Of the State, we understand, being literally
flooded with them. They arc drawn by partie.
resident in the Dominion of Canada on bankers
in Boston and inten 1e for general circulation.
The probability seems to be that the drafts are
re-issued by Boston bankers, and not Endorsed
once, or stamped. The proceeding appears
like an evasion ofthe banking laws of both this
country and Canada, and works against the
legitimate and taxable notes of our circulation.
The drafts are all made payable in current
funds of the United States.
Upon representation of the above facts to
the Treasury Department at Washinton the
Commissioner has written to the collector of
Internal Revenue in this city, Mr. F. j. Roll
Inns, informing him that there is a penalty of
$500, for paying, negotiating, offering in pay
meIt, receiving, or taking in payment, any
such draft or order supporting to be drawn in
foreign country but payable in the United
States, without its first being duly stamped
with two cent stamp, like an inland draft or
order drawn at sight, on bank, banker or
trust company. The collector is also referred
to the acts of Congress in reference to the tax
of ten per cent upon the amount of such drafts,
or notes, paid out by any State bank, ETC.. i,
and as to the tax on amount of circulation.
AS we understand these notes are paid out
in large quantities to country traders who
have been acceptin them and sending them
into the banks here, as if they were United
States legal tenders. Portland Aderrtiser.

under the lid Of his coffin, and it is known
that he had been shot at 12 80. What long
and horrible agony, and what ferocious cru
city on the part of his butchers! The words
heard and understood by the French Metis
were only these: "My God my God" Some
English Nets, and others speaking Scetts

Gods sake, take me out Of here or kill me y
Toward IL o'clock, that Is after ten and
half hours Of frightful agony, person whose
name shall withhold for the present went
into the bastion and gave him the finishing
stroke with butchers knife according to
others. That same person after having in
flicted the last blow to poor Scott, said, as he
was coming down from the bastion: The -

east bastion few days, being watched by sol
diers, relieved each in turn. On the third or
fourth night, could not say precisely which,
the corpse was taken out of the bastion, placed
in DR.. Schultz's sleigh, the same which the
doctor had brought to Jail Mrs. Schultz, then
sick, pulling the sleigh himself, as l have
stated in my second letter. That same vehi-
Gle, then drawn by gray horse, was taken
toward the Red River, and stepped about one
and half miles from the fort, nearly opposite
the River La Seine. By means of large
stone tied to the corpse, the body of Thomas
Scott went to the bottom Of the river to come
thence no more. A few words more and
am through this horrible tragedy. 1t was in
the afternoon of the day when the execution
took place that the corpse was placed in the
coffin; and it was later taken out of it in the
bastion, bu. in order to avoid suspicion, a
grave had been dug inside the gate facing the
Assinboine River, few steps to the right.
and it is there the coffin which was thought
to contain SCOTS body was lowered.

The Portsmouth On. H. Chronicle reports
that on Sunday last Mr.. Hiram Tobey, one Of
the navy-yard watchmen, found on the beach
of an island in that harbor tightly corked
bottle, which had apparently been in the water
many years, being completely overgrown
with barnacles and sea weed. When broken
it was found to contain slip of paper, about
four inches long and two inches wide, with
marks upon it indicating that it had been
part of ships log-book, and bearing the fol-
lowing inscription: "December IA, 1861.
Ship Jane, Arctic Ocean. write this know
ing that shall never see land again hoping
that some one will pick it up. Yesterday the
Captain died, which I
would write more II l could but am starv-
ing to death" Several words not legible are
expressed by the asterisks. The ink is very
pale, and the paper somewhat discolored.
The writing, though indistinct, was easily
read by the aid of magnifying glass. The
document is now in the hands of Commander
McCook, at the Portsmouth Navy-yard.

The Halifax Recorder relates the following ::
"There is a woman in the north end Of the
city who is firmly convinced that she is dead,
and all efforts to convince her to the contrary
have proved fruitless. About six months ago
she had a remarkably vivid dream that she
had suddenly expired, and averred suisse
queptly that she experienced all the sensations
which she imagined would attend dying. At
intervals ever since then she subsidies either
into trance or so strongly imagines herself
to be in one, that for days she lies in bed
motionless and apparently lifeless, often, at
the expiration of forty eight hours or more,
being found wandering about the house in
search Of something to eat after which she
remains sensible for while and then subsidies
again.

Sturgeon ON Smoking.

Mr.. Spurgeon has addressed letter
to the papers on account of it having
been stated that that on recent Sun
day evening. when q minister in his
chapel had condemned smoking, he
rose after the sermon, and expressed
his dissent from the preacher, adding
that it was possible to "smoke to the
glory of God," and that he hoped to
enjoy cigar that evening before he
went to bed. Mr.. Spurgeon says: CT
demur altogether, and most positively,
to the statement that to smoke tobacco
is in itself sin. 1t may become so, as
any other Indifferent action may, but as
an acton it is no sin. Together with
hundreds of thousands of my fellow
Christians, l have smoked, and with
them 1 am under the condemnation of
living in habitual sin, if certain accns-
ers are to be believed. As would not
knowingly live even in the smallest
violation of the law of God, and the sin
in the transgression of the law, L will
not own to sin when am not conscious
of it. There is growing up in society u
pharisaic system which adds to the
commands of God the precepts of men /;
to that system 1 will not yield for an
hour. The preservation of my liberty
may bring upon me the upbraidings of
many of the good and the sneers of the
self.iighteous but / shall endure both
with serenity SO long as 1 feel clear in
my conscience before God. The ex-
preston smoking to the glory of God
standing alone has an i'll sound, and 1
do not justify it; but in the sense in
which L employed it 1 still stand to it.
No Christian should do anything in
which he cannot glorify God-and this
may be done, according to Scripture, in
eating and drinking and the common
actions of life. When have found in
tense pain relieved, a weary brain
soothed, and calm, refreshing sleep OBJ
tanned by a cigar, [ have felt grateful to
God and have blessed his name this is
what 1 meant, and by no means did use
sacred words trihingly. If through
smoking had wasted an hour of my
time-if 1 had stinted my gifts to the
poor-if 1 had rendered my mind less
vigorous-I trust should see my fault
and turn from 1t but he who charges
me with these things shall have no an
swer but my forgiveness. / am told
that my open avowal will lessen my in
fuence, and my reply is that il have
gained any influence through being
thought different from what L am, I
have no wish to retain it. / will do
nothing upon the sly, and nothing
about which have doubt"

A Heroine of the Commune.

The following was related to me yes
terday of a noble woman whose name
should live in history. She, together
with her lover, a young surgeon, had
taken care of the wounded Communists
during the days and nights of their
fierce fighting with the Versailles troops.
Upon the entry of the latter into the
city, when excitement was at its height,
and when every one suspected of COM
plicity with the Commune was shot al
most without q question being asked,
the surgeon was arrested and brought
before the drum-head tribunal, In the
Place du Chatelet. His life trembled
for the moment in the balance, but was
finally saved by the intercesson of one
of the Judges present, who was an in
innate fri, nd of the accused. AS the
latter was being led from the room, he
met the woman whom he loved, who
had helped him in his care of the
wounded, and who was now accused of
the same crime as he himself had been.
Good God, Marie I" he exclaimed,
"are you here too?" The woman took
the whole scene in at glance, saw the
danger into which she would plunge her
lover should she recognize him, and
drew herself up coldly, saying: "You
are mistaken, sir je ne vous conaais
pas! A few moments afterward she
was taken out and shot Is not that
story worthy of the old guillotine days !?
