STORY OF A DAMAGE CASE.

Agosti seems to be rather unfortunate in
his choice OF lawyer to prosecute his dam
age case against the Louisiana Lottery. 1t
will be remembered that on the thil tieth day OF
May, 1878, Agosti lied petition In the Fourth
District Court, through Alex. DaIshlemer,
his attorney, alleging that on or about the
thirteenth day of May, 1873, defendants,
through hired informer, one Gaspard j.
Schrieber, caused the arrest of petitioner,
and that again on the twenty-eighth of the
same month petitioner was arrested at the
instigation OF the same parties for the vio-
laton OF act No. 8 Of the session Of the Leg
islature OF 1874, which act Is unconstitutional
and void; that through the aforesaid depriva-
ton Of his liberty and restraint he has suffered
damages to the amount Aforesaid.
Wherefore he prays that the said Louisiana
Lottery Company be duly cited through It's
proper officers, and that after due proceedings
had there be judgment against the said com
pany, Charles L. Howard and M. A. DauphiD.
10 solido, for the sum OF $4,000, with interest
and costs.
Mr.. Dalshelmer subsequently filed SUD-
Elemental petition Eating more fully the
grounds upon whic the claim for damages
was founded, and the case was fixed for the
opening day OF the present february Jury
term.
During the late epidemic Mr.. Dalsheimer
died, and Agosti engaged two well-known
lawyer OF this city to tako charge of his
case. When, however, on the fifth Of Febru-
airy, the suit was called for trial neither of
the counsel for the prosecution app AIRED, and
1t was ACKNOWLEDGMENT that on the eve OF
the day fixed for the calling Of the case. they
had natitied Mr.. Agosti that they had con-
Guided not to take charge Of tn. suit.
The suit was then continued indefinitely
However, not wishing to abandon his suit SO
easily, Agosti hunted up another lawyer.
One after the other refused. At last, one
consented to act as attorney for the prose-
cution. Agosti was ihbiIant. The case was
fixed for the twenty seventh Of February (yes-
terday) But, alas Agost will not realize
his $25,OOO for some time to come. for
when yesterday the suit OF Agosti against
the Lottery Company was called, lol the at
IOrney for the prosecution was absent. As
his is the last day Of the jury term in the
Fourth Court, for some months yet, the case
will not come up again before June.

How TO Make Cows Give MILK.

A writer IN the Southern Farmer
says his COW gives all the milk that is
wanted in a family of eight, and from
it, after taking all that is required
for other purposes, 260 pounds of
butter were made last year, If you
desire to get a large yield of rich
milk, give your COW every day water
slightly warmed and slightly sailed,
in which bran has been stirred at the
rate Of one quart to two gallons of
water. You will find if you have not
tried this daily Practice, that your
COW will give twenty-five per cent
more milk Immediately under the
effects of it, and she will become so
attached to the diet as to refuse to
drink clear water unless very thirsty.
But this mess she will drink almost
any time, and ask for more The
amount OF this drink necessary is an
ordinary water pail at a time, morn
l1g, noon and night.
