pre-eminent is the great California hero

pure herbalistic extracts. known to
possess sterling medicinal qualities,
and is compounded without the use
in any shape of spirits. It's action

poison is, but it at once attacks blood.

nal cause destroys the germs of disease

upon the stomach and liver render it an
almost certain specific in the most stub
born cases of dyspepsia, and in truth
lmparts new life and vigor to the whole
system. It is one of the best medicines
ever invented.

Important to Those Who Draw Notes,

A man drew a note promising to nav
one hundred dollars. He used q printed
form, and did not close up the blank de.
voted to dollars, and after passing as
negotiable paper somebody inserted
"and fifty" after the one hundred and
before the printed dollars. The note,
thus altered, got into the hands of an
innocent party, who presented it to the
drawer, and the supreme court decided
that the maker of the note was liable
for its face, because through negligence
he did not draw a line between the writ
ten word hundred" and the printed
word dollars" Any testimony that
the drawer might offer to establish tho
fact that he-gave a note for one hundred
dollars must go for nothing, AZ "there
was nothing on the face of the note
showing that it had been altered" Evil
dence of an alteration on the face of
the note would have changed the case.
Let this be a lesson to all drawers of
prOmissory notes. No one can be too
in such matters.

The Custom.House.

Within the last few days the commit
tee of citizens appointed to investigate
and recommend site for the Memphis
eustom-house and government buildings,
has been at work, with the following re-
suit: The committee divided, MAORI
ty and a minority report resulting. The
majority report recommends the lot on
the corner of Third and Madison, east
side of Third, and extending from Mad
ison to Court. This lot is held at $685.
900. The appropriation made by Con.
gress only amounts to $4,000 for the
purchase of site, and nothing in ex'
cess of this amount will be paid. The
price of the lot above mentioned ex
ceeds the appropriation by at least
eighty thousand dollars, which places
the property entirely out of reach. The
majority report is signed by Messrs.
l. NJ. Hill, H. G. Smith, W, G. Ford,
NJ. c. Galloway; John Cubbins and
probably VIM. Nj. Harrington.
The minority report recommends
either of two locations. The first lot is
on the corner of Second street and
Gayoso, east side Of Second and north
side of Gayoso; size, l35x330, and held
at $5s, 900. The second lot is in font
of the Gayoso House, $50 feet square,
and is held at $4,000. 1t is probable
and quite possible that either of these
sites can be purchased for the $45, 1000
appropriated by Congress. The minority
report is signed by Messrs. Bronson
Bayliss. Gen. W. ]. Smith and Charles
Kortrecht.
Either of the three locations will do,
but in view of the fact that Congress
limited the price of the site to $45, 900
the two locations recommended in the
minority report, either of which can no
doubt be purchased for that amount, are
to be preferred. The reports have been
sent to the proper Department at Wash
ington, and will be acted upon in due
time,

We take from the official report of the
drawing Of the Fourth Grand Gift Con-
cert, as it appears in the Public Library
Paper, the following explanation of the
numbers which are entitled to the IL 900
Approximate gifts of S37 so. The num-
bers of all the unsold tickets which come
within the range of the approximation
are given, and, with these and the table
of 1000 drawn numbers, published in the
LEDGER of Thursday last, any one con
tell what tickets are entitled to the APP
proximate gifts. 1t will be seen that all
tickets from No. to No. 26l7, and from
Nos. 47,6ls to $4,000, except those which
drew higher gifts, as shown in the table
of 1000 drawn numbers and those which
have been cancelled as unsold tickets,
are each entitled to an approximate gift
Of $37 so. The explanation is both
simple and plain and can be understood
by any one who is interested in the sub
ject, and will take the trouble to exam
inc it. These approximations amount
to the good round sum of $4l2, 500, and
are so distributed that they will bring
little money to not less than IL, 900 per-
sons, and maybe ten times that number;
Ticket number 55,l04 having drawn
the capital gift OF $lS7 800, the first $500
numbers nearest to it on both sides,
making in all ll,000, are each entitled to
an approximate gift of 1877 So The
only exception to this count for the APP
proximations is that when one Of these
nearest numbers has drawn a higher
gift it will be excepted, and the next
nearest number in regular order will be
taken, so as to avoid paying two gifts to
any one ticket.
numerical circle of 10000, having the
lowest number one, and the highest
sixty thousand, brought together,
count of $500 numbers on each side of
this center would embrace the numbers
from So, l04 to GOA on the left and from
So, l04 to 1904 on the right
By this it will be seen that all num-
bers from to 2,6l7, and from 47,6l8 to
10000, which have not drawn higher
gifts, nor been cancelled as unsold tickets,
are each entitled to an approximate gift
of $37 so.
The payment of gifts began at Louis
vile yesterday. No gift will be paid
without presentation and delivery of the
ticket entitled to it. Payment will con-
tinue for six months only, and all gifts
then unpaid will be turned over to the
Public Library fund. Payment will be
made by checks upon the Farmers and
Drovers' Bank, of Louisville, KY, for
the full amount of the gifts, or by sight
drafts upon the Fourth National Bank
of New York at current rates of ex-
change, at the option of the ticket
holder.
