A Waggish Hackman.

A man stepped up to one of the hack.
men at the Union depot yesterday and
wanted to know where he could pro-
cure a bottle Of whisky. Jump right
in, sir, jump right in, and will take
you where you can get the finest kind
OF whisky very cheap The unsuspect-

speed before he had time TO collect his
thoughts. The mercenary hackman

The hackrhan said he had other en-

AS the stranger imagined it was five

four minutes, 10 the mans astonish-

pot. He couldn't understand how it
took him such a long time to reach the

Queer Il3lg 81 Curative Oils.


Somc people still hold 10 rtriuus old
spcrstitions concerning the curative
properties NJ the oils u CERTAIN animals;
and 10 her the druggists tell Of the
strange articles called for bv some "

vagaries INDUCED in by the aboriginal
medicine man in his native wigwam.
For instance, there are persons who pin
great faith still to the virtues of rattle

pickerel-oil, which is said to be euro

the livers Of pickerel. Mndturtle-oil Is
also frequently called for by p ople who
have stiff joints. 1t has been but two or
three years since all these oils were
staple articles in drug-stores. Pickercl-
oil sold for SO cents an ounce, and tur-
tle-oil 81 pint. These oils arc rarely
found today, and probably from this
very reason are accredited the more

rock, the prince, at the head Of his long

The ResuI. orPerseverance.

A representative of The Times Democrat
was present at the Office of The Louisiana
State Lottery Company when Mr.. D. P.
Blair, OF Columbus, Miss, received check
for SIS, 900, as the lucky holder Of one fifth
of the capital prize of S75, 900, on ticket No
AZ, 10l, and asked odd you not feel elated
when favored by fortune ?" ''No, not at all.
I had an idea L would win. I had been
taking tickets-well, now 1t must be for
nearly two years and was hiding my time.
for 1 felt my turn would come soon. /
never hurried the Lottery Company up, but
waited, taking my tickets regularly every
month, and now I've hit them" "What do
you intend doing with the money ?"
''Well, the night 1 believed 1 had won,
mentally distributed it. I have children,
and l propose to invest a portion of the
money for them. The plans made on that
night intend carrying out. l felt on that
occasion by intuition, 1t would almost seem,
that had won. The feeling, of course, is
impossible to describe. Thus he bided his
time. The next drawing will occur NOvem-

East Lynne ada Gray st the
Theatre.

This evening the beautiful and celebrated
emotional actress, Miss Ada Gray, will sp-
pear at the Savannah Theatre in her great
Improvisation OF "Lady Isaber' in East
Lynne, her only appearance here this season.
The Augusta Chronicle says, referring to her
performance in that city on Monday:
ssThe audience at the Opera House last
night might be called q fair one, consider
Iu0 the weather. Certainly, we are led to
believe that under different circumstances
fine house would have greeted troupe
which gives the play in q style at once so
elegant aud complete. Miss Ada Gray is
perhaps the finest Lady Isabel now on
The stage. She has grown into the charac-
ter into which she has placed her whole
soul and has almost etched into her life
rhe VOC and WEAKNESS of the unfOrtu-
nate heroine OF East Lynne Through
out FIVE artistic and exaeting acts one
can detect nothing forced or affected
in her impersOnatiOn. The bearing Of
LADY Isabel, the bride, is as artless and cap
.fvaffug as the grief OF Madame Vine is
soul stirring and pathetic. We should say
that Miss Grsy excels in the gentler emo
tio4s Of 10y, jealousy and pain; for the hand
OF genius is more subtle in the weaving OF
the frost-Work than in the raging Of the
stofm. Still, the more exalted and absorb
ing passages of the play are met with full
wCmanlv spirit and strength, which call up
before them the enthusiasm of her hearers.
she is q perfect mistress of every concep-
tion OF the piece, from gay to grave, from
mtrth 70 melancholy. Actually, last even
ing, Miss Gray's triumph was complete"

The FIeecv stnnIe.

The New York Commercial Chronicle, OF the
21st inst, says that the total receipts since
September LIST have been 925, 3O5 bales, while
TO. last year the receipts to the correspond
ing date were 9Ss, ia, showing a falling off
Of 62,S69 bales.
The receipts for this week were 149, AL
bales, and for last week 49,5l2, against
125, 927 for thu corresponding week 1881.
From reports from interior towns, we see
that Macon has received during this Week
4, $40 bales, with total OF 20, 202 bales since
September LIST. The corresponding week of
last year gave receipts at 4, S24 bales, and
total of %, 767.
The total visible supply on September Dist
was l. zoe, SIS bales, against 043, 1865 in 1881,
and 1,7l9,600 in 1880. These figures show a
decrease of 343, 1873 bales as compared with
the stock of 1881, and o decrease OF 9022
bales as compared with the stock at same
date in 1880. The imports into continental
ports this week were IL, 1000 bales.
During the early part of the week there
was a rapid decline in the price of cotton
for future delivery. Local rains and storms
failed to support prices, owing to the unfs-
vorable character of foreign advices and the
increased movement of the crops in South
eTn markets.
There we:e two or three days Of rain dur
