THE ORPHANS HoME. The recent re-
port OF the Directors Of the State Orphans
Home shows that out ef the total number
OF orphans admitted to the Home since
its founding up to Dec. 3lst, 1852, only
% were whole orphans, 26S out OF the
POI being half orphans only. Neither
Humboldt. Nye nor White Pine county
has ever sent an orphan to the Home.
Storey and 0rmsby have contributed
most generously of their orphans, the
former being accredited with l47 inmates
and the latter with so. Washoe comes
next with "a, then Eureka 10, Elko IA,
Lyon Ia, Douglas IL, Lander s, Churc-
hill 4. Esmeralda 3, Lincoln 3. There
are As children in the Home at present.
Forty-six have been indentured, 4 have
died and 1893 have been discharged,
taken out by relatives, adopted or have
gone out to shift for themselves after re-.
ceiving the rudiments Of an English cdu.
cation, and being pretty well grown up.
A letter from San Bias, Mexico, to the
San Diego Union has the following: This
is country where they tie up the hogs
and let the dogs run loose; where the
maidens go bare -headed and bare. footed
where the men wear inexpressibles a la
Chinamen; where the blackbirds are
large and the crows small. In the woods
there are parrots and paroquets in abun-
dance; in all the streams and bayous
alligators too numerous to mention; in
the ocean are plenty of sharks the natives
take for OIL They seem to have no fear.
Last Sunday l saw three on the beach;
one was thirteen feet long, large enough
to devour a man in two bites. There is
one fish here they have holy dread Of
a mantaray. 1t resembles stingray in
form, but is very large, some eleven feet
| across. ~ q

Foolisi, Fish.

A Martinsbutg, West Va, lady has
written to the Philadelphia Timei, asking
about the Louisiana State Lottery. She
pathetically adds that she and many Of
her neighbors have invested in it from
time to time, and though they have pa
tiently waited, the bread cast upon the
waters has never returned. The lady says
that the faith Of the Southern people in the
integrity OF the lottery is based upon the
connection Of Generals Beauregard and
Early with the scheme.
We have no idea that the lady who writes
to the Times is the only person in West
Virginia whose simple faith has caused
them 10 invest lin the lottery. That tho
concern is swindle is palpable onits face.
The inducements held out to invest in it
are entirely too rosy to catch persons who
know that the only safe investment lies in
enterprises conducted on legitimate busi.
ness principles.
Alottery may throw out bait in the
shape Of a modest sized prize, when the re-
celpts are tagging, but they are sure to
makeitupin the future, and when the foolish
fish bite again they get hooked. Thegreat
struggle in this country is for the American
dollar, and those persons are silly indeed
who pin their faith to such stupendous
frauds as lotteries, and should be sent to
that industrious insect the sluggard was
advised to visit for wisdom.

Conversing with friend one day ex-
Governor Magotfin, OF Kentucky, said OF
Tom Marshall; HE was brilliant man,
but not the genius that many have been
led TO believe him. His most splendid
bursts Of eloquence, which nearly every.
body thought were entirely spontaneous,
were in fact prepared with the greatest
care and rehearsed for days and weeks.
Something would occur TO him as a good
text, and he would collect all the books
bearing on the subject he could lay
bis hands on and carry them out to bis
mothers farm near Georgetown. There he
would stay for one, two, or three weeks,
and perhaps longer preparing one Of his
orations. He would saturate himself with
facts, and during long rambles over the
fields would arrange his speech, going over
and over 1t with the greatest care, striking
out q sentence here, adding one there,
rounding Ola phrase aud polishing up the
whole until it suited him. Then he would
drive into Lexington and have time with
the boys. 1t would soon be noised about
that Tom Marshall was in town aud that
his friends were trying to persuade him TO
make a speech. He would pretend to be
very hilarious, when in point Of fact he
would be almost entirely sober, and keenly
alive to the development OF the harmless
little intrigues that was workingup for his
benefit. Finally he would find his way
into the court house square, and mounting
an improyised platform would give rein to
his tongue and deliver an Grafton that
would astonish and delight the most cult
waited audience in Christendom, an Grafton
at once beautiful in language, grand in
sentiment, and bearing evidence in every
word and every senteace oil wonderful
historical and literary research. To those
not in the secret these speeches must have
seemed little less than marvellous. delivered,
as they appeared to be, under the inspira-
ton OF the moment"

that the education OF the children in use

Camden and Atlantic Railroad Arrange
ments for the Coming Season.

Preparations are being made by this
company for heavy spnng and sum
mer business. New steel rails are
being laid and the whole road-bed is
being brought to the highest standard
of excellence The ears of the Cam
den and Atlantic Railroad are hand
some and comfortable, and those re,
quiring renewals have been greatly
improved since last season. The
Woodruff parlor cars, which are at
tached to all express trains, are luxur-
ious and elegant. The NINETY min
ute ride between the Delaware aud the
Atlantic, in the fine cars and over the
smooth track of this Company, is now
one of pleasure and not of fatigue,
II will be of interest to visitors to
Atlantic City to know that through
trains on this road will run upon a
very similal schedule next summer to
thai of last year, and that trains will
continue to leave Vine street and
Shack amazon street as heretofore.
The greater part of the hotels in At
lantic City are now open, and are well
filed and frequently crowded, with
people of the best society Of Philadel-
phia, New York and other cities, who
are seeking health and rest ia the in
yigorating atmosphere of this favorite
resort.
