authorizing private lotteries, 10 wholly I'M
tenablo. No authority has been produced
In Its support and VIZ are satisfied that
none can DO found.
In constituting this provision OF the Con.
stitution the last sentence Is rs important
as the first.
II the trainers Of the Constitution had
intended by tho use Of the words: "No
lottery shall DO authorized by this State"
to only limit the legislative power to pub
lilo lotteries, conducted and managed solely
by the State for tho purpose Of raising
revenue, they would not have used the
language thoy did In tho concluding sen.
tenee, "Nor shall the sale Of lottery tick.
cts DO allowed" These words clearly
show that 1t was not intended that any
lottery should DO authorized by this State
for any purpose.
The words "by this State" as used In
our Constitution. and the words In this
State" "or within this State" as used
In the Constitutions Of Now York, have
virtually the same meaning.
"No lottery shall be authorized by this
State, nor shall the sale OF lottery tickets
DO allowed"
This language applies to all lotteries,
whether public or private. To lotteries
conducted by the State /; BY the church;
by private individuals ; by benevolent and
charitable associations, and by corpora
lions.
No lottery Of any kind can DO author
lied BY the Legislature under the present
Constitution. .
We again repeat what, II seems to MS,
must be evident 10 every unbiased and I'm
partial mind, that the language OF the
constitutional provision Is too plain for
argument. That under II the Legislature
cannot authorize any lottery In this State,
and that the Act approved March g. 1884,
IL null and void.
We are conscious Of tho fact that II was
unnecessary TO add anything to the reason,
ing Of this Court In er parts b -nch.rd
which IL, Of itself, absolutely cenclusiye
upon both Of the points We have discussed.
But Il has been attempted, BY . desire
upon our part. 70 show that no authority
could b found In any Of the adjudissssd

Rhetoric for Effect.

Political orators are often gifted with
two voices. One is sonorous and they
use it while talking to the "point." The
other is falsetto, and is reserved for
those occasions, not unfreQuent, when
the orator speaks merely for EFFECT
Years ago, there was in congress a gen.
teman who represented the Buneombe
district of North Carolina. Being called
to order while indulging i'll q rambling
speech which was not pertinent to the
question before the house. he replied,
"Mr. Speaker, | am in order. I'm not
talking to the house but to Buncombe."
Thirty years ago, prominent leader
of the English Radicals was Feargus
OConnor, half-crazed member of par
lament. Worhingmen were then suffer
ing from want of employment. O'Con-
nor, taking advantage of their distress,
addressed to them certain speeches
which were intended to excite to riot
and bloodshed.
Richard Labor She'll. one of the most
eloquent of the Irish members of Parlia-
ment, eXpostulated with O'Connor in the
lobby of the house of commons, on the
mischief he might do to others as well as
to himself.
"Oh!" exclaimed O'Connor, raising,
his voice SO as to attract attention, this
comes we'll from the Right Honorable
Richard Labor She'll, whom l ones heard
on the hastings tell the people that if
they could not get their rights by peace
full means, he would not shrink fom
leading them when other efforts must be
tried"
But did you never hear" retorted
Mr.. She'll, with provoking GOODNESS.
"what the PEOPLE said to me afterwards?
They told me that they knew very we'll
that had no more notion of taking up
arms, or leading them to the field, than
Fearc,ls O'Connor"

Gamberta and His Mother.

Leon Gambetta is the greatest living
statesman of France. But he is worthy
of more honor for his filial and affection
ate heart. It was one of Washington's
brightest praises that he tenderly loved
his mother-and so of President Garfield.
Gambettas mother had been seriously
i'll for some time at the house of hi mar
ried sister near Paris, when, one morn
ing last summer, he went early to his
duty in the chamber ofdeputies, expect
ing day of stormy debate.
As the great man entered the lobby,
says a Paris letter, one of his friends
came to him. and placing his hand on
his shoulders said,-
"Will YOU allow me-
"Is il over?" asked Gambetta.
The friend handed him a telegram an
nouncing the mothers death. The or
ator read it, and, sinking down upon a
couch, gave way TO uncomfortable emo
ton. Then occurred one ofthose touch
ing and beautiful scenes So frequent In
France, when the spontaneous goodness
of the heart and sympathy tor which
this excellent people isjustly celebrated,
were manifested to Gambetta by par
tisans of every shade of political opinion.
Enemies, doubters, sneerers, even the
irreconcilabe Clelicals, crowded around
him and offered their hands, which he
grasped one after another, in daZed,
uncertain manner as il the whole scene
were denselv unreal to him.
Soon afterward he left the Chamber,
and ut once made pious pilgrimage to
the room where lay the woman whose
maternal influence is said to have con-
tributed greatly to his success. Gambet-
ta's parents and relatives are all plain
and simple folk, and neither they nor
he have ever made the slightest attempt
to disguise the humbleness of their
oTi.in
The body of Modame Gambetta was
conveyed to Nice, the family's old home
by special train, and father and son
o:ou>ly accompanied the remains.

"A Pair of Vermont Painters.

The people in this section are greatly
excited over the depredations of large
female panther, which has been working
havoc on the farms. Within the last
fortnight the beast has killed about a
score of sheep, two-year-old bull and
vearling colt in this vicinity. The
beast seems content to suck the blood of
its victims, leaving the flesh untouched.
The creature was at first supposed to be
q cub, and Mr.. Alexander Crowell, of
this place, had an exciting experience in
searching for the "critter." She was
tracked to a clump of bushes, through
which the man had proceeded but
short distance when he found
himself face to face with q huge pam
Their, which had poised itself and was
about to spring. Mr.. Crowell grabbed
his gun and in his surprise and fright
did not stop to take aim, but fired at
random. Fortunately, however. the
bullet entered vital spot and it was
killed outright. 1t measured seven feet
from tip to tip and weighed 1872 1-2
pounds.
The people thought that with its death
that there is another panther rampant.
1t is next to impossible to track the
beast, rs the dogs will not follow the
trail even when It has been found, and
local hunters are not very anxious to
come to close quarters with the brute.
This species Of panther, it is alleged, has
never been captured alive, and It is said
TO be of the most ferocious nature. Il
is asserted here that p. T. Barnum has
made a standing offer Of $40 600 for this
one, il caught alive, or $500 for the body.
