Lotteries.
Harrisburg PA Telegraph.

In such an age of intelligence as
this it seems an absurdity to find
newspapers discussing the advantages
which Government departments give
to lotteries, and it is almost as great
an absurdity to find that we have such
institutions as lotteries at all. There
is no reason for their existence, no
possible good in them and every i'm
aginable harm. They subserve no
reputable interest nor do they en-
courage any other industry than such
work as they give a few clerks who
are generally found to combine their
clerkships in lottery concerns with
habits of speculation which are little
short of pilfering. AS members of
society they do not rank as high as
Chinese laundryman, and not infre-
quently they are justly the subjects of
police surveillance. The lottery itself
is the illicit breeder of swarm of
vices. The men and women whom it
seduces into its service by the hope
of sudden transition to wealth it
lures from legitimate productive in
dustry, and once person has become
imbued with the speculative idea of
the lottery, and anxious idleness has
supervened lucrative activity, there is
no limit to the train of crime that
may follow. The lottery is whole
sale thief, and robs society of wealth
and good repute. Every human be-
ing owes society honorable service
and the lottery is accountable to So
ciety for the value of the highest SER
vice which any of its victims might
have rendered by life of active en-
deavor. The very existence of lot
terry is not ouly commentary on the
folly of the thousands who support it,
but it is of itself crime against the
State. Its votaries have had demon
strated to them over and over again
that their chances of winning prize
are infnitesmal, but once innoculated
with the lottery virus they develop an
apparently incurable rabies for this
system of speculation and go head
long at their gambling with a hope
and faith which turned in any legit-
innate direction would inevitably ele-
vate them. 1t is uncomplimentary to
human nature and intelligence to say
that thousands of people will throw
aside lucrative employment to rely on
a certain number being drawn from
a wheel to give them wealth; but it
is fact, and nothing but taking away
from them the opportunity will cure
them of the insane practice. Even
the alcohol habit has better defence
than the lottery habit. There are
laws ample to crush out the lotteries,
and a properly directed public opin-
ion should compel the use of these
laws against practice so degrading
and injurious.

ABIDETH FoREvER.-When the great
traveller, Baron Humboldt, was Jour-
neying in South America, there came
one day sudden stiffness in the air,
which seemed like a. hush over all
nature. But that was followed by a
fearful CONFUSION of the earth, which
made all hearts quake. And Hum
boldt tells us that the earthquake
within his soul was as great as that in
the world without. ALI his old views
of the safety of the earth were de-
stroyed in a moment. Should he fly
to the hills for help? The mountains
were Keeling like drunken men. The
houses were no refuge, for they were
crumbling and falling, and the trees
were overthrown. Then his thoughts
turned to the sea; but 10! it had fed.
Ships which just before were floating
securely on its surface, were now left
rocking in the sands. Being thus at
his wits end, he tells us he s'looked
up and observed that the heavens
alone were calm and mistaken. ST.

LYON COUNTY TIMES.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF LYON COUNTY
publshed everv Saturday morning, BY
.IoHN M, Campbell
TERMS:
Railroad SOciability.

Laramie Boo nerang.
In speaking about the sociabiliTy
of railroad travellers, said the man
with crutches and watch pocket
over his eye, | never got SO well ac-
ouainted with the passengers on
train as did the other day on Mil.
Yankee and st. Paul railroad. We
were going at the rate of about thir-
ty miles an hour, and another train
from another direction telescoped us.
We were all thrown into each others
society, and brought into immediate
social contact, so to speak.
| went over and sat IN the lap OF a
corpulent lady from Manitoba, and
girl from Chicago jumped over nine
seats and sat down on the plug hat
of a preacher from La Crosse with so
much timid, girlish enthusiasm. that
1t showed his hat clear down over his
shoulders.
Everybody seemed to lay aside the
usual cool reserve of strangers, and
we made ourselves entirely at home.
A shy young man with an emaci-
ated il.cloth yalise, left his own seat
and went over and sat in lunch
basket, where bridal couple seemed
to be wrestling with their first picnic.
Do you suppose that reticent young
man would have done such thing
on an ordinary occasion? Do you
think If he had been at a celebration
at home that he would have risen
impetuously and gone where those
people were eating by them selves,
and sat down in the Gran berry jelly
of a total strange?
l should rather think not.
Why, one old man, who probably
at home led the class meeting, who
was as dignified as Roscoe Conk-
ling's father, was eating a piece OF
custard pie, when he met the other
train, and he left his own seat and
went over to the front end of the
car, and stabbed that piece of GUS
tard pie into the ear of a beautiful
widow from Iowa.
People travelling somehow forget
the austerily Of their home lives and
form acquaintances that sometimes
lasts through life.

Her First Baby.

Kingston Freeman.
We do not know as this is true,
but neighbor vouches for it, and it
is as good as any one Of the advent
ures in the Spoopendyke family. A
young mother, who is rich in her
hubby's affections and pocketbook,
is the owner of a three months old
sunbeam. The young mother, to
have the offspring receive proper
nourishment, resolved to take sole
charge of it. 1t was her first child,
and, having been reared in luxury,
with plenty of servants to wait on
her, she did not handle the contract
with as much success as some other
women. Tho other day she under
took to give the infant a bath in a
small foot tub. The lady's mother,
who lives with her, passing through
the room, dipped her finger in the
water, and tod her daughter 1t was
too colo for the little one, and that
she would have to warm 1t. Instead
Of adding little warm water, she
placed the bath.tub with the baby in
ton small gas stove and waited
Tor further developments. The de-
yelopments came as soon as the bot
tom of the tub began to get extra
warm. The Offspring gave one yell,
while the fond mother, grandmother
and the two servants rushed to the
rescue. The grandmother took the
blessed baby and placed a handful
OF flour where it would do the most
good. In the future grandmother
VIII look after the child, while the
mother reads up on the cares OF II
mother, and how to bring up child
ren.
