THE LOUISVILLE LOTTERY.

Blanton Duncan, of Louisville, Ky,
puts forth the following proclamation:
"'ro tho holders Of Louisville Lottery
tickets:
"I will pay for any coupons furnished
to me, irrespective of what numbers
they may be, at twenty-five cents per
coupon. Or, will collect for any holder
and return him half"
Referring to this "pcculiar PROPOSE
tiOn,' the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
Perhaps Mr.. Duncan has his eye OF
those "apprOximates." They are the
puzzle of the hour. A communication
about them printed elsewhere seems to
intensity the gloom. Under the circum-
stances people are not likely to destroy
or lose their tickets

Lawyers of the very best ability, or
of the very first reputation, make big
incomes. The Jumet case alone has
been worth II quarter of a million to
Charles O'Conor. Sir Rouudcli Palmer,
the opponent of Mr.. fIvartS at Geneva,
is supposed to receive for his practice
$780, q year. This is more than the
average receipts of MIR. Evarts in his
regular New York practice. Mr.. Evarts
received but $4,000 for his services in
defending Andrew johnson, while Mr..
Sergeant Ballantine, who has just gone
from London to India to defend the
GuicOwar OF Baroda in a mere murder
case, received $50, 900 gold as a retainer,
and is to receive us much more, making
the amount $4,000, the amount paid
to Evarts and to Adams for their SER
vices at Geneva. Charles O'Conor is
said to have made Il larger income from
his practice than any other American
lawyer. Much guessing is INDUCED in
regarding the fees of the leading lawyers
in the Beecher ease. Evarts is said to
have exacted no positive terms. He
can scarcely expect more for defending
Beecher than he received for defending
the President of the United States.
The fee of Beach is II contingent one;
II Tilton gets heavy damages out of
Beechsr, Beach will get Il heavy fee, ii
Tilton gets no verdict Beach is likely
to go feeless. The easiest great lawyer
ofthe American bar is perhaps jeremiah
Black. Mr.. Black always troubles
himself more about the case than the
fee. He would rather win the case and
get not dollar, than lose it and be
paid ten thousand. In tic celebrated
Mllligan, Horsey and Bowls case, Mr..
a f,f f.>.,
was all over, and in his own words.
"never thought ofit.' Lord Brougharn,
Scotch like, looked we'll after the main
chance, and while at the bar made the
enormous income of five hundred
thousand dollars year, at n time when
that amount was equal in purchasing
power to that of II million to-day.

LETTER FROM MARK TWAIN.

Mr.. Samuel T.. Clemens has consented
to lecture in Hartford for the benefit of
the poor. Following is his letter:
HARTFORD, February 20, 1875.
GENTLEN1EN-I accede to your re-
quest with pleasure. Many months
ago I permanently quilted the lecture
field, and said would not appear upon
a platform any more unless driven
there by lack of bread. BY the spirit
of that remark 1 am debarred from
delivering this proposed lecture, and SO
fall back upon the letter of it and
emerge upon the platform for this last
and final time because am confronted
by u lack of bread-anlong Father
Hawley's flock. Most people lie by
the spirit and the letter too, but I am
not one of that kind, for have been
very carefully brought up. wish to
impose upon you the condition that the
expenses OF this enterprise shall be paid
out of four or five private pockets,
(mine to be one Of then,) to the end
that all of the money that comes in at
the door shall go to Father Hawley's
needy ones, uniInpaired by taxes on its
journey. l am glad to know that you
are going to put the tickets at 81; for
what we are after now is money for
people who stand sorely in need OF
bread and meat, and so the object
justities the price. AS this will proba-
bly, be the last time I shall ever have
the opportunity of hearing sound wis
dom and pure truth delivered from the
! platform, wish to buy a ticket to this
lecture, and l herewith send money for
the purchase. 1 am aware that could
get in for nothing, and still be acting in
Il measure hOnOrably; but when L run
my lecture over my mind and realize
what Il very bonanza of priceless infor-
motion it is, find 1 can not conscien-
tiouaiy accept q free pass.
Respectfully, MARK TWAIN.

While Captain Eads is not all pleased
with the action of the Senate Transport
tation committee with reference to the
improvement Of the Mississippi river,
he is willing to go on with the work.
He thinks it u mistake to select the
South instead of the Southwest Pass,
and for the reason that it will take
eight months longer to get the channel,
and it will not be as wide.

J.. was just after the funeral. The
bcrcavcd and subtlucd widow cnVciOpcd
in 1nilic.cry gloom was seated in the
sitting ROOM with Il few sympathizinS
friends. There was that constrained
look, SO peculiar to the occasion, ol,scrv-
able on every countcnancc. The widow
sighed.
"How do you feel, my dear" observed
her sister.
"Dh, don't know,' said the poor
woman, with difficulty restraining her
tears. "But l hope everything passed
Off wcll.'
"Indccd it did," said all the ladies.
at was as large and respectable Il
said the sister, looking around upon
tho others.

next door. IL was saying to Mrs.
Slocun, only ten minutes ago, that the
attendance couldn't have been better

"Did you soc the Taylors ?'' asked the
widow, family, looking ut her sister.
''They go so rarely to funerals that
was quite surprised to sec them here"
"Oh, yes, the Taylors We're all herc,''
said the sympathizing sister. GAS you
say, they go but II little; they are so
eNclusive.'

suggested the bercavcd woman droop-
ingty.
ooh, yes chined in several. HThcy
came i'll their own carriage, too,' said
the sister, animatcdiy. "And there
were the Randalis, and the Van Rcns:,-
!ears. Mrs. Van tansalear had her
cousin from the city with her. And
Mrs. Randall wore Il very heavy black
silk, which l am sure was quite new.
Did you see Col. Haywood and his
daughters, lovc:"
81 thought l saw them, but wasn't
sure. They were here, then, were
thcy:"
"Yes, indeed" said they all again,
and the lady who lived across the way
observed
'The Colonel was very sociublc, and
inquired most kindly about you, and
the sickness of your husband.'
The widow smiled family. She was
gratitied by the interest shown by the
Colonel.
The friends now rose to go, each
bidding her goodbye, and expressing
the hope that she would be calm. Her
sister bowed them out. When she re-
turned, she said:
"Hon can see, my love, what the
ncighbors think Oft. ! wouldn't have
had anything unfortunate happened for
i good deal. But nothing did. The
arrangements couldn't have been
bcttcr.'
"l think some of the people in the
neighborhood must have been surprised
to sec so many of the up town people
here" suggested the afflicted woman,
trying to look hopeful.
"Nou may be quito sure of that"
asserted tho sister. az could sec that
plain enough by their looks"
