Political Notes.

Cardinal McCloskey has taken the trouble
to deny the authenticity of dispatch purport-
ing to be signed by him and cOngratulatinp
Hancock as "beloyed son" upon his nomina-
tiOn.
A Boston letter says the Hancock boom has
already perished In Massachusetts, and that it
is unlikely Ben Butler will again run for gov
eTnOr.
The latest statement about the Hancock fam
lily religion is made by the Graphic, to the effect
that MRS Hancock is member of DR.. Bel
lows &C n1tarian) church, and has been a regu-
lar attendant there for several years."
Through confounding of the initials OF two
members OF the Jerome family, the misstate-
ment has been made that the one who recently
wrote letter to Gen Hancock announcing ad-
herence to that gentlemap'S cause ran for Con-
gresS two years ago as Tammany democrat.
1t was In fact one OF the brothers OF this par
tlcular Mr.. Jerome who had the honor OF being
laid out by Gen. McCo0k.
The New York papers report large number
OF visitors constantly calling at the republican
national headquarters In that city. They say
also that the committee is In receipt OF let

defeated Mr.. Strait by 724 majority two years
ago.
Hon. VIM II. English, the democratic noni-
nee for the vice presidency, telegraphs that he
will be In New York on Sunday night, and re-
quests that rooms be engaged for his accom-
modation.

Parson B lived few miles s'out''
on the road running from certain elm
powered city of Maine to a small manu-
featuring village just beyond The
parson was known as the embodiment
of oddities and quiddities, and also as a
very convenient resort when one of the
CITY pulpits needed " shcrt notice -
supply, and the village of Sacarappa
had a reputation, equally well estab-
hshed, for manners and morality for
which ungodliness was gentle term.
One Sunday morning the parson was
suddenly summoned to fill the "crack :"
pulpit of the city, its own divine being
Unexpectedly detained away from home
Hastily snatching sermon from the
pile, he put it in his pocket, mounted
his high-hipped nag, and was off.
1t was bright October morning, and
the keen air had put life into the par
sons veins and oratory into his soul.
Warming at every sentence of his dis
course, he poured forth a rising flood of
rebuke, exposure, warning and con-
domination, such as might well stir the
souls of any company of sinners to their
depths.
But as the climax was reached and
the conclusion drew near, the parson
began to recollect himself. This was
no company of sinners. These were the
first circles of P, aristocrats in
velvet and silk; their church had the
tallest steeple and the handsOmest front
in town, and their minister commanded
a higher salary than any other church in
Maine could raise.
The parson felt blush stealing TO his
cheek. He hurried through his sermon,
closed it, and reached uncomfortably
for the hymn-book; then, with quick
little movement, he wheeled about, and,
cooking his wizened face to one side,
piped ont, in his queer, high pitched
voice: 81 hope no one in the audience
will take offense at any remarks offered
in my address this morning. l was
sent for in great haste, had no time to
make selection, and the truth is, the
sermon never was written to come up
here; it was written for Sacarap' folks"

How Chinese Lotteries ar. Carried On.

There is hardly town on the coast
in which Chinese lotteries do not exist
either as local affair or as one of the
agencies of large lotteries of the kind in
San Francisco. The tickets are square
slips of paper, on which are printed
eighty letters, these letters being the last
in the Chinese first reader, or "Gin
Chez Cho," as it is called. These tick
cts are for sale at all the Chinese stores,
and can be purchased for any price from
ten cents to 90, the amount OF the prize
drawn depending upon the price paid
for the ticket. When the ticket is
bought the purchaser chooses ten letters
on it, by marking them out with u pen,
and upon these ten his chances depend.
The drawing is conducted as follows:
Eighty square slips of paper, each bear
ing one of the letters upon the tickets,
are pasted by one corner upon a large
board used for the purpose. After being
thus pasted and found to be correct they
are next put into large pan and thor
oughly mixed. From this pan they are
transferred to four porcelain bowls,
twenty in each bowl Four slips Of
paper, marked respectively /, 2, 5, and
1, are next placed in the bowl and one
drawn out which indicates the bowl of
tickets to be used in the drawing After
determining this the twenty tickets in
the bowl indicated are taken out one by
one and repasted upon the large board,
a caller announcing each letter as it is
drawn, and the clerks recording it.
Out of the twenty letters drawn, if the
holder of chance is so fortunate as to
have marked off ten upon his ticket, he
secures large prize, ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000, and even $4,000,
according to the money invested in tine
ticket. The drawings are made twice
day, and the dealers of the game, if at
all fortunate, make large amount of
money from it. The chances are very
great in favor of the game, but seldom
over three or four spots being won upon
ticket, and over seven is rarity.
Under four spots scored the tickets lose,
and over this to as high as eight the
prices are nominal, varying from %
cents to $50. This species Of gambling
is very popular among the Chinese, and
there is hardly one but hold tickets for
each drawing.-Eureka fNer.) Leader.

cause he is too diffident to say good-by
to the cashier and clerk.
-"What a dreadful affair."" indig-
nantly exclaimed good Mrs. Higgin-
botham, laying down the account of a
prize fight which she had been reading.
1.-THE awful men actually struck each
other with their hands, and one of them
got so sick that he threw up sponge.
Such things ought to be stopped by
law. "-Rocxland Courier.
When Mr.. William Winter of the
New York Tribune was about to leave
the shores of England he mounted the
bridge of the steamer, and, taking off
his hat to the crowd assembled on the
jetty at Liverpool, exclaimed: "Gen-
tlemen, if there's any body in your
island whom have not given shilling,
now's his time to speak," Agentleman
on the dock shouted back: I'm the
only man in Great Britain that you
haven't beaten out of the drinks"
1t is related of a well known mer-
chant of a neighboring city that, after
making his will and leaving a large
property to trustee for his son, he
called the young man in and after read
ing the will to him asked if there was
any alteration or improvement he could
suggest. "Well, father" said the
young gentleman, lighting cigarette,
81 think, as things go nowadays, it
would be better for me if you left the
property 20 the other fellow and made
me the trustee The old gentleman
made up his mind then and there that
the young man was quite competent to
take charge of his own inheritance, and
scratched the trustee clause out.-B0S-

THE OLD MAN OF MoSTROsE.
There was an old man of Montrose
Who had a remarkable nose,
So long and so thin,
And so far from his chin,
Twas always in danger of blows
One day the old man of Montrose
Went out without mufiiing his nose;
And it grieves me to tell
That this organ of smell
As stiff rs an icicle froze.

His nose into smithereens flew,
And left but a stump,

That even in summer looked blue.
The frost bitten man of Montrose
Used words that were equal to blows;
And so great his disgrace,
He soon quilted the place,
And where he has gone no one knows.

Taking Advantage Of Leap Year.

A Detroiter who was out in the coun-
try the other day to look after some
poultry got stuck in mud hole, although
having alight buggy and a strong horse.
He got out, took rail off the fence, and
was trying to pry the vehicle out, when
along came a strapping young woman
about &c years of age. She halted. sur
veyed the situation, and said:
"You stand by the horse while /
heave on the rail, and don't be afraid of
getting mud on your hands and boots"
Their united efforts released the vehi-
Gle, and the Detroiter returned thanks
and asked her to get in and ride. She
hesitated, looked up and down the road,
and finally said:
"Stranger, I'm blunt spoken. Who
are you?"
He gave his name and residence, and
she continued:
"I'm over %, worth $500 in cash,
know all about housework, and this is

Yes, know, but for Heavens sake
don't ask me to marry you!" he replied
as he saw the drift.

him square in the eye, "I'm straight

Putnam County, Fla, produced 81
100000 oranges last year.
George Root of Spencer, Mass, has

1t has been ascertained by careful
analysis that rain which falls in towns
often becomes heavily charged with in
furious properties, and can only in rural
districts be regarded as thoroughly safe
drinking water.
The glass factories at Pittsburg,
Pa, which have been running at barely
living rates for several years, now have

Formerly it took five bushels of
wheat to make barrel of flour, but
now, by the new process, only four and
half bushels are required. A gain of
S40,00O,000 is thus secured in one sea-
sons crop. This is good news for both
wheat-grOwers and bread-eaters.
1t has been estimated by reports re-
ceived at the Agricultural Department
of Georgia that so per cent. of the
farmers who raise their own supplies
make money by farming. Seventy-five
per cent. of those who give liens and
mortgages, and pay high rates of inter-
est on supplies, fail to make expenses.
The New York Gas Company has
decided to abandon coal for gas-making
purposes about March l., and adopt the

be made for 80 cents per 1000 cubic
feet.
