A Word for the Little Ones.

I hate to see children forced to do thinps
tnas are disagreeable TO then, merely for the
purpose OF making them obey. Where any
good end is to be answered il ia d;fferont
Little ones often object to what is good for
them, and when 6rmness is necessary. peo>
PIE shouid OF course be firm. But. if little,
poWeriess creature has strong fancy or a
gteat repugnance, parent or guardian abuses
ms power In ignoring it. Why should YOUR
httie boy be made TO eat the fat of his meat
l, ne ioathes it, or anything, no matter what.
tnat Is repulsive to him? 1t may be neces>
sary to refuse some things at table, but sell,
dom' II ever, to force anything upon them
why mako child, either girl or boy, niser.
aoie ey forcing 1t to wesr articles of clothing
OF which its taste does BOT approve or at
which other children laugh? I think little
girls suffer more from this than from any
other thing. Almost all of US have some such
memory. [ knew lady whose childish life
was made very wretched for year by an OBJ
sclets old bag in which she was forced to
carry her books to school and another whose
mother forced her 10 wear some old lses
which, though costly, was laughed at By ig>
noEant children who made her world and da>
Shared that she actually wished herself dead
until that lace was bsnished from her ward
robe. 1t you can sfford ii, it ie wiser to
give Your boy tho particular top or kite he
wants, and your girl the very doll or the blue
ribbon sho Gdmires. And, st apy.ra,e. YOU
need net uselessly force them to anything
IRON which they shrink or which makes the m
unhappy.-O OOnGhoe's Magazine.

A 100000 Prize.

The lottery lightning has struck Mil
ford, and so hard as to excite its citi-
zens considerably. On Thursday of last
week it was rumored that Milford man had
drawn the capital prize, 100000, in the Lou
isiana State Lottery Company. Our reporter
tried to look the matter up, but none OF the
two dozen persons indicted by Madam Ru-
NOR had drawn the prize. An express com.
pany sent two advices, saying that prize
had been drawn by a man in Milford. Ex-
citement over the affair increased, and a COM
mon salutation on Saturday was, Have you
drawn the prize?' On Monday the holder of
the ticket deposited it for collection. He is
Mr.. A. 2. Ackerman, a respectable and in
dustrious farmer, living two miles from town.
Although the owner of the farm where he re-
sides, the $4,000 will be most acceptable to
Mr. Ackerman. The one-fifth ticket that
draws one-tifth of 100000, is No. 1882. 1t is
said that this is the first lottery ticket ever
owned by Mr.. Ackerman.
As might be supposed, the drawing of such
an amount has stirred up the people on the
subject OF lotteries, and brought to light some
unknown facts. 1t now appears that con-
siderable number of our citizens have been
dealing in lotteries, but they all kept the fact
a secret. They include rich ana poor, old and
young, and even church members. One of
our aged citizens says that twice he has come
within one Of the lucky numbers that drew
prizes of 100000. Another Milford man drew

There is something very fascinating and Sc
ductive in the idea of acquiring sudden wealth
by chance that costs little, and we appre-
hend that many hundreds of dollars will be
wasted on lotteries in this section, in view of
the recent success of our citizen Even those
whose reason tells them otherwise, will in
vest little because "it doesn't cost much,
and might."-MIJord, (Del.) Ne,os and i'd

A NEW VOLUME.

With this issue the TRANSCRIPT
begins its fifteenth year, and, its pub
Usher is pleased to say, has every reason
to be well satisfied with its condition
and surroundings. A success from the
start, the TRANSCRIPT has grown from
year to year in popular favor and en-
joys a circulation to-day nearly fifty
per cent. greater than it did three years
ago, while its advertising patronage is
encouraging and of the best class. Its
Office is one Of the best equipped on
the Peninsula, and its topographic
neatness has won it much praise. We
have few promises to make for the
future, save that while under the
present management the TRANSCRIPT
will continue to have the constant and
undivided attention of it's owner, and
that improvements will be made as in
his judgement the interest of the COM
munity and it's newspaper may require.
Realizing that the special field OF the
country newspaper is the careful gath
ering Of local news and the discussion
of questions that most deeply concern
the community in which it is published,
we shall go on printing the best news
paper we can. We do not expect to
please everybody, however. The man
who can do that hasn't been born yet.
