The Winning Figures.

Before the drawing of the French lot
terry, MIR. R. Dent, of London, predicted
to the managers that the series 0, l, 2,
8 and 4 would furnish many more prizes
than the series 6, 6, Z, Sand 9. His pre-
diction vss abundantly verified by the
result, as witness the growlings of hold
ers of tickets of the later and less lucky
issues. The numbers are attached to the
edge of the wheel in the same sort of
composition that is used for the figures
on clock dials, which has a definite
thickness nearly that of fine tracing
paper. Mr.. Dent cut out Of such paper
the block letters, all the same size, and
weighed the series 0, LIZ, 8, 4, against 5,
81, s., 9. There was a considerable ex-
cess of weight in the second series, and
the machinery was SO beautifully made
that this excess proved quite sufficient to
account for the preponderance of the
heavier numbers and the appearance of
the LIGHTER 0nea.

Accompanying the Presidents message
are estimates from the Secretary Of the
Treasury Of money needed for the army,
and legislative, executive and judicial
branches of the Government. These esti.
mates are the same as those submitted,
at the opening of the last session, with the
exception of items provided for at that ses
sion. The last Congress made provision for
the Military Academy at West Point, and
for Notifications and armament. This
leaves, according to estimates, $2S, $40, 500
yet TO be appropriated, for the army. None
of the Legislative, Executive and Judicial
appropriations were provided for, even in
part. The estimate for these expenses is
s16,520,6O1. To these appropriations are
also to be added the item for court expenses
which is generally placed in the Sundry
Civil Bills, but which was left out of that
bill at the last session. The estimates for
these expenses is $4,000 600.

Thirty Years a Stranger at Home.

Men may escape the law, but their
conscience they cannot flee from.
Many years ago a young man in this
city was guilty of an offence against the
law, an offense which brought social
ruin to himself and his family. The
man and his offence are forgotten by the
public, yet he lives, and lives here in
was discovered-although, having
escaped the law, he is free to come and
20 as he pleases-he has never been out
side of his own house in daytime.
Sometimes, under the cover of night, he
walks abroad to take an airing, and note
the changes that 80 years have wrought,
but an ever active conscience makes him
shun the light of day, and the faces of
men, and he walks apart, a stranger in
the midst Of those among whom he
has always lived Boston Transcript, +.

Powerful Explosives.

Gun-cotton is prepared by dipping
cellular tissue, viz, cotton, sawdust, or
printing paper, in strong nitric acid
(aquafortis). 1t is then to be carefully
washed and dried. It is not materially
changed in appearance. Tt explodes at
the heat of boiling water (212 degrees).
It explodes with much greater violence
and suddenness than gunpowder, and
for that reason is more liable to burst
the gun. See what a power sleeps in
our ignorance. Take a saw and cut up
a bit of deal board-a bit of dried pine
board. Make a teacup full of sawdust.
Steep this in a saucer full Of aquafortis,
dry slowly at a distance from fire, and
this single cupful of compound, filed
into a tin vessel and inserted in the
basement wall of a building, will, when
exploded, blow it to pieces.

ON our sIo.e Di.aanf Frontiers,

As in our busiest and most populous cities
of the seaboard and interior, HosLetter's
Stomach Bitters is pre-eminentIy popular.
Wherever civilization plants its foot on this
continent. thither the great tonic soon fnds
its way. Nor is this surprising, for it is the
medicine of all others best adapted 10 the

edy for the diseases to which he is most SUBJ
ject, and which are liable to be brought on
by a change of climate, hardship, exposure,
unaccustomed air and diet, and miasmatic
atmosphere and water. Among these are
disorders of the stomach and bowels, rheu-
matte ailments, and malarious fevers, for
all of which Hostetter's Bitters is g certain
specific. A course OF the Bitters before
departing for the new field Of labor or on
arriving, will have the effect of preventing
the evils for which it is such a signal
remedy.

The damage at szsgedin is estimated at
about 81, 100000.
The Emperor Francis Joseph visited the
city recently, and was conveyed in a boat
through the ruined town. About twenty
three thousand inhabitants have been re-
moved. Those remaining are amply sup.
piled with provisions. The Emperor, re-
plying to an address, said his heart was
deeply panied at the calamity which had
befallen the inhabitants. The people must
not be too much distressed; help would
come. The Emperor was much affected.
Two thousand farm houses in the sur,
rounding country have been destroyed by

Bayard Taylor and His Habits.

Bayard Taylor wrote a beautiful hand.
He detested blind and slovenly writing,
and used to say that any man could
write plainly who would make an effort.
His manuscript was the delight of print
ers. Mr.. Taylor wrote quietly and
steadily, and produced great dealmore
copy" il a given time than any one
would suppose him capable of who OBJ
served his apparent "a and absence of
hurry. He was rather careless in his
dress but not, like Horace Greeley,
enough SO to be conspicuous. He liked
q stout, plain suit of clothes that could
be worn a long time, a loose-ftting gray
overcoat and a broad-brimmed SLOUGH
hat. He was a hearty eater,
and was fond of the German ma
tional beverage, which he habitu-
ally drank at dinner. In religion he
might have been classed as a Unitarian
or q Deist, though he had great reyer-
ence for the faith of his Quaker ances-
tors. In his later years the desire for
travel wore off, and he used toset out
on a journey with much reluctance.
After seeing and knowing well all the
great cities of the world his preference
was New York. He often said he had
rather live there than in any European
capital. Taylor's wife was the daughte
of the celebrated German astronomer,
Prof. Hansen. She is a lady of fine
culture and considerable literary talent
A school history of Germany, written
by her husband for use in American
schools, was recently translated by her
into German. Their daughter, Lillian,
closely resembles her father as he ap-
peared in his youthful days. Taylor
built the house near Kennett square
where his parents still live, and where
they celebrated their golden wedding
nearly ten years ago. He called the
place Cedarcroft, and hoped to pass his
old age there.-G. ". Sn,altey, in

Tallmadge on Marriage.

The New York sensational minister in
a recent sermon, gave vent to the fol
lowing:
Gone important pass in a mans life is
the time when he establishes his home.
1t is not a matter of surprise that affianc-
ing for life should be treated as a i5ke?
When a man marries he marries for
heaven or for hell and he begins to ex-
perience it right off. Do not build your
hopes of earth and the hereafter on a
parcel of ribbons or a finely tinted face;
you do not want a pet but a heroine in
the house. There have been Christian
women who could in the days of their
poverty get more music out of a Wheeler
& Wilson than in the days of their
prosperity they v got out of a - or
a. grand. Some Of you never knew
your homes until they got touched by
misfortune, and then, oh how your wife
lowered up, like the host shouting on the
shores of the Red sea! Over that home
where q daughter Of the church o~ficiates
as wife the angels of God move wing
tin to wing.tin."

Panic In n rhea,er

During the performance of Engaged /"
to a crowded house, at the Chestnut-street
Theater, Philadelphia, an alarm of fire was
given, which resulted in nearly a panic.
Smoke poured mp through the heating regis
tiers and filed the house, and the audience
made a wild rush for the door, when
Manager Gemmills voice was heard from
the balcony in authoritative tones, quelling
the tumult He assured the audience that
no danger could result to them except by
a panic, and that the house could be
emptied in three minutes. The people on
the stage and the orchestra aided by their
composure in allaying the turmoil, and
presently the play proceeded. There were
fully sixteen hundred people in the theater,
and but for Mr.. GemmiIps presence of mind,
the result of the panic might have been
terrible. The smoke was caused by a
lighted cigar being thrown through a street
pavement man-hole of the cellar. The fire
was quickly e%xtinguished.

mig Bank Hu.nen.Ion..

A clean sweep was made of the banks at
New Orleans, the other day. The people
got crazy, and went for their money, and
sixteen fthe moneyed Institutions put up
their shutters, and went into a state of
suspension. 1t was alleged by the bankers
that the suspension was only temporary,
and the banks would reopen in about ten
days. The officers Of banks of New York
and st. Louis stated that they would be
but little affected by the temporary panic
and suspension. There was not as much
excitement on Change in those cities as
was anticipated.

At Vicksburg, Miss, the other night, a
shooting ARRAY occurred between Captain
w. F. Fitzgerald, Captain W. H. Andrews,
and W. L. Greene. Andrews and Greene
were killed almostinstantly, and Fitzgerald
was dangerously wounded. The difficulty
originated about a Hibernian meeting, at
which Andrews was elected President.
Fitzgerald claimed still to be the President
of the Hibernian Society, and denounced
the election of Andrews as a farce. Greene
took exceptions to Fitzgerald's remar2
and attempted to draw a weapon. Fitz-
gerald drew first and shot Greene through
the heart. Andrews then shot Fitzgerald
and Fitzgerald shot Andrews. Andrews
was the head of the firm of w. H. Andrews
& Bro, and was President of the Howard
Association after Rockwood's death last
summer. w. L. Greene was Clerk of An
drews & Bro. Fitzgerald is a prominent
lawyer, once Republican State District
Attorney,
