A Gard from Gen erals BeaOregard
and Early.

A publication headed. Are the Louisiana
Lottery drawings fair, which originally ap'
pealed in several Northern and Western pa
pers as an advertisement by II hostile lottery
company. as We believe, has been copied into
a number OF other papers. doubtless as an ad-
vertisement also. The charges, Institutions
and inuendous contained IN said publication
are false in every respect. so FAR as they affect
the fairness of the drawings of the Louisiana
Lottery, or the integrity of the acts Of the
Lottery Company. When the undersigned
had charge only Of the scm-annual drawings,
theycounted the tubes containing henumbers
previous to each of those drawings to be GER
tain that all were put in the wheel. Since
they have had charge Of the monthly draw
,ngs also the wheel has been under their eX'
elusive CONTROL and after each drawing, they
hu We restored all the drawn numbers to the
wheel, locked it, and sealed it in such man
ner as to render 1t impossible for the numbers
to be reached or iDterfeared will without their
knowledge. They have thus been always GER
tain that all the numbers were in the wheel
at each drawing, and they alone are respOn-
sible for the integrity of the drawings. The
suggestion that each ticket holder ont the day
of and before each drawing, should be allow
ell to call out his number and see 1t put in
the wheel, Is too absurd to deceive any one
who ever witnessed u single number drawing
and any lottery company which resorts to any
such trick proves itself to be n fraud.
The intlinatiOn that persons have been paid
to allow their names to be published as the
winners of prizes in this Lottery is also false
and without the sligh foundation in fact
Millions OF dollars have been paid out by the
Company in prizes through the banks and
express agencies as can be ascertained from
the bank officers In New orleans, and the ex.
press agents in New York. Washington CITY
and in this city. as well as from the winners
OF the prizes whose names have been given to
the public. Signed.

The striking dress and cloak makers

solved to continue out I'm il their de-
mands are complied with. 1t is said
that some of the Walker street and
Broadway employers have shown a dis
position to come to terms with the EN-
ployees.
At the meeting of the Central Labor
Union in New York yesterday, resolu-
tions were adopted endorsing the strikes
of the cigar makers, the dress and
cloak makers, and the telegraph opera
tors and linemen The telegraphers
ware offered financial assistance to en-
able them to carry on the strike.
meeting of hod-hoisting engineers
in New York last night, it was reported
that their demands for increased wages
had been granted in every case. Under
the new arrangement, the men will be
paid So per day, and be allowed quar-
ter days pay for getting up steam,
whether their services may be needed
or not. They have been receiving 81 to
S2 SO per day, and were paid nothing
for getting up steam, unless they worked
during the day.

where, show no change in the general
situation. The strikers appear to be
every where hopeful of success, while
the Companies are equally positive that
they can get along without the strikers
There is no doubt, however, as to the
serious interruption to the business of
the different Companies. The Western
Union officials in New York repeat their
assertion that their Company "can car
ry on its business in spite of the strike .
and that "no compromise will be pro-
posed" 1t is rumored that the check
clerks in New York will strike to-day.
In Philadelphia the strike is substan-
TALLY the same as on Saturday. No
public action has as yet been taken by
the Railroad operators. The manager
of the Western Union Company said !:
"The question has got down to hard
pan it is one of endurance. 1t is no
use Disgusting the fact the Western
Union must have these men, and they
must have the Company. No matter
what the outcome may be, six months
hence they will be working for it, but

thing will last can't be told, but the
Company can stand it longer than the
strikers. The operators claim that the
Company is badly crippled, and that
they will be able to hold out till the
end. At a meeting in the hall of the
Knights of Labor, yesterday, resolu-
tons were adopted, pledging the moral
and financial support of the Knights of
Labor to the OPERATOR, and urging them
to stand firm to the end. Meetings Of
the different assemblies of the Order
will be held during the week to confirm
the action of this meeting.

south of Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Sat
urday afternoon. 1t is stated that "the
cars stood on one rail for q long dis
tance owing to the force of the wind,
and the trees fell across the track, being
broken up like pipestems. The dark
ness was so great that the engineer
could not see out os the cab" The tor

Big Crops In Pennsylvania.

The grain crop Of Pennsylvania this
year is estimated by number of grain
merchants to be the largest that has
been harvested for years. This is cs-
pecially true of corn and oats. The
wheat may fall short, but any deficiency
in this cereal will he made up by the
surplus of last years crop and the lack
of orders for export. This latter feature
of the situation is the most unpleasant
that the market here has to contend
with, according to the statements Of an
old grain merchant. "rhere is no ex-
port business" he said, cor very
little, owing to the abundance of the
crops in India and Russia. There are
only 37s, 900 bushels OF grain in the
elevators, and there seems no prospect
of an increase until tie new wheat crop
begins to move more freely. This is a
remarkably small amount, as compared
with the previous year.

Practical wisdom.

He who learns by experience, both
sweet and bitter, touches the secret
spring of success. He can turn what
ever knowledge he possesses to the best
account, while without this practical
wisdom stores of knowledge may be
wasted. This power, like every other,
may be cultivated. 1t strengthens
by exercise, it withers by disease. -
Those who are naturally deficient in it
may improve by carefully directing
their thoughts to definite ends to be
gained, by calling up to frequent re.
membrance their past mistakes, follies,
and faults, with their subsequent i'll
effects, and by reviewing with equal
care the reverse and brighter side of
their experience. 1t is in this way the
discipline of daily lif- comes to be our
most valuable friend it is in this way
The past may be made safe guide and
an inspiring influence to the future.

Sell.POssess Ion.

There is a vain selt.contidence which
ruShes unabashed into every scene, and
feels equal to undertake whatever is
presented. This, however, is very diff
terent from the Scll-possession which
comes from Il true estimate of our
powers. He who possesses himself in
this latter sense will be;ts careful to alb
stain from what he is unable to opertorm
as to execute whatever rghtly falls to
his lot. He will be Dlodest and unassum-
ing Us he is energetic and unllinching,
:or he will know his limitations as vel.
as he does his powers The best practical
way Of securing this self possession.
where we teel it's lack, is in continual
practice. There are certain lhiuSs which
everyone should be prepared to do, GER
tain scenes that everyone should be pre-
pared to enter, certain crises every one
should be ready to meet. These none of
us must shrink from when they come,
but do our best every time, rcSOlntely
calling to our aid all the reasoning and
good sense that We can command. Each
time that we force ourselves to this
course the task grows easier, and at
length we arrive at that condition of
calm assurance with regard to our per-
formance of them which alone gives
seltpossessiOn.

A vision Of Death.

A pathetic sequel is told of the drown
ing of the two little boys at Atlantic
City last week On the night before the
accident Mrs. Patton, the mother of one
Of the drowned boys, was awakened
from her sleep by cries of help from
the little one. On going to his bed she
found him throwing his arms about in
his sleep as if struggling in the water
and calling for help. Though the child
was awakened he soon renewed the
imaginary struggle and calls for help
on going to sleep. This so impressed
the parents that they resolved not to
let their child play alone on the beach
any more. On the fata! morning the
parents forbade the children to . 90 out
until some one could accompany them.
However, they soon slipped away, and
in few minutes were drowned.

Sold for Taxes.

There has been difficulty for some
time between the directors Of the Re-
hoboth Beach Association and anum-
Der of lot holders, in reference to the
payment of taxes, the lot holders re-
fusing to pay, as they claim the direc-
tors have violated the charter in apply
ing the taxes for the liquidation of a
mortgage held by William Bright, in
stead Of using them for the improve
ment of the grounds. The trouble cul-
minated last Thursday, when the di-
rectors disposed of lots belonging to the
following parties for op'payment OF
taxes:
w. n. Chandler, William H, Fonlk,
William Hare, the Rev. j. i. Houston,
Josephine Mearns, James G. Pickels,
William Y. Swiggett, George W Stone,
Martha X. Goodwin, Sarah Peterson,

lum, the Rev. T. B. Hunter, George W..
Minnows, the Rev e. d. Watson. L..
q. Levy, f. j. Manners, Il. j. Jump
and the Rev. j. i. Quigg.
1t is understood that it is the desi On
of the lot holders to have the matter
tested in the courts.
