LUCK AT LOTTERY.
How q StOrekeeper at VermiI-
HOnVille and a Barber In
Chicago Won Themselves For
times.
New Orleans Picazune. April17


TWentyNseven years ago Anatole
TrieOt, young Frenchman, a native
of YendOme, France, came to New
Orleans in search of a fortune. He
was poor, yet industrious, but for a
long time, despite all his struggles. he
was unable to accumulate any eonsid-
cradle amount of money; but, never
tbsless, be married. His wife proved
to be helpmate and helpmeet, and
what was better than all, was lucky
in fact, a mascot. The pair managed
to save money, and purchased prop
erty 10 VermilliOnville, where Tricot
opened s country store. Their busi
ness increased aud all prospered with
them, but no children blessed their
union, aud they accordingly adopted
an orphan boy.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Tricot
purchased one fifth OF a Louisiana
State Lottery ticket, No. 62,8S7, and
laid it aside, little dreaming of what
the future had in store for her. Last
Tuesday the drawing was held, and
ticket No 62,8S7 won the capital prize
of $4,000. The following day the
list reached Vermillionville, and Mr..
Tricot compared his ticket with the
list, when he discovered that his wife
held the winning ticket, and he imme.
diately made preparations to come to
the city.
The money was promptly paid. and
Mr.. Tricot went forth rich and hap
py man, satisfied in every particular.
He said that now he would visit sunny
France, his native land, again, and
would invest $4,000 in real estate in
Vendome. The remainder he would
invest, and on the interest he could
live comfortably to the end of his days.
Another fifth Of the same lucky
number was reeeipted for at the main

sion on the officers. They see through
it aud take it as proof Of weakness.
Never try to bargain for special in
dulgences, such as the certi6cation of
your checks before your deposit is
made, or the discount of your paper
by the officers without its submission
to the board of directors. The char
acter of your account will settle these
matters much more satisfactorily to
all parties.
Let your intercourse with the
officers be full and candid and respect
ful, and be sparine in your personal
solicitation for discounts. Choose
the earlier hours Of the day for your
interviews, and especially avoid the
last hour before 3 o'clock.
Write your signature with the
same freedom that you do in your own
office, and never vary the style of it.
Always use the deposit tickets fur
nished by the bank.
Make your deposits as early in the
day as possible. If you are aceus>
toned to have many checks or large
package of bank bills, it is better to
make two deposits-one at an early
hour-than to hand in all at once just
at 3 o'clock. Never change checks
with other people merely to make
larger figures; it causes needless labor
to the bank clerks, makes you respon~
sible for the debts of others and it is
a real prejudice to your credit.
Never try to put in your deposits
before those in advance of you. but
take your place in the line. Never
make deposits without your bank
book. Avoid all unnecessary CONVEX
sation with the clerks, especially with
the teller. Never get angry if the
paying teller examines your account
before certifying your check. Never
give out checks dated ahead. Use
your own check book, and keep it out
of the sight Of the public. Never
give stranger a check, if you can
avoid it. Always consider q check
paid when you give it out.
When you want notes discounted,
offer them at IL o'clock am. Never
attempt to pay note with an uncer>
titled check at bank where you keep
no account. Have your bank book
balanced often.
sin the case of discounted notes
apply to the discount clerk. When
you have notes to send abroad for col
lection deposit them in ample time for
deliberate record and transmission by
the bank.
THE public ought to study these
rules and observe them"

The Quapaw Guards, recognized as
one of the best military companies in
the United States, is now in a fair
way to hear its funeral services
preached. The reason, as near as we
can ascertain, is because a majority OF
the company are not sufficiently in
terested to pay their dues and keep
the company out of debt. The Qua,
paws voted to consolidate with the ath
letic association, but the latter de-
clined. 1t is said, on good authority
that the company owes $l75; that il
has in its treasury $2l0, and the mem
bers owe in dues $3.50. Now, in the

PLUM POINT, Aplil "A, 1855.
EDITOR LEDeER-The almost I'M
precedented rain storm which pre-,
vailed throughout the country on Sat.
urday night aud Sunday last caused
the river to come to . stand here. Il
is now rising and looks threatening.
Farmers hereabouts have planted
their cotton and corn. Many feel
quite respondent over the present
outlook. A few days since a lot of
gentlemen were discussing the proba-
bilities Of another food, the lateness
of the season aud so forth. An old
farmer standing near by, who had
tusseled with the food Of
1882 and houndered around in the
waters of '83, remarked that so far we
hadn't had but two kinds of water,
zone bad and the other a burned sight
worse" The force in the employ Of
the government here are steady at
work, and it will take considerable
more water to cause a temporary sus-
pension of business. Lieutenant
Symonds, the efficient officer in COM
mand, is watching every point with a
careful eye, and when the floods have
done their worst, we venture the as.
sertion the works in the language Of
great military chieftain, will stand
like "StOnewall."
The mercantile traffic here has been
very good this season. Mr.. Il. B
Friend. who owns and controls several
plantations extending several miles
up and down the river, largely controls
the business Of the place. Mr.. r.
Hogue is also engaged in business |
with him. Mr.. Friend, aided by his |
popular and well known Lieutenant,
Squire King, Will soon be recognized |
as one Of the leading and wealthy |
merchants on the Mississippi river
whom the commercial tourists love SO |
well to visit.
We are kept in constant communi-
oati@ with the outer world by the

Adams. Mr.. Hugh Tomlinson, first
clerk, is one of the most popular, as
well as handsome officers on the river,

ling, and an early decline sets in. the

Alerge number of prominent pic

fields, and held a consultation on the
price of iron. Owing to the late re-

Of fall in prices, but after full con-

would let the present prices remain.
They thought that only so much iron
would be sold anyway, and there was
no money in making it at less price
than now received.
