are in great demand by correspond

he were a personal friend and the
family physician. For more than
forty years what is known as ''The
Sun Cholera Medicine" has stood
the test of experience as the best
remedy for looseness of the bowels
ever yet devised. As was once
vouched for by the New York jour

IS THIS THE FACT?

The Philadelphia Record, of Jure
9th, under the head of care the
Louisiana Lottery Drawings Fair?"
has the following:
The two commissioners who
superintend their single number
drawings, when interviewed on the
subject, reluctantly admitted that
the numbers which were placed in
the tubes and put in the wheel were
only counted twice year. They
draw the lottery every month. Is
not this a bare-faced fraud? Their
excuse is that it would take ten
days labor, with four assistants.
How, then, can any ticket buyer in
the lottery know that the number
on his ticket has corresponding
number in the wheel? II they de-
sire an honest drawing, why do they
not, on the day of and just before
their drawings, allow the ticket
holder the privilege of calling out
his number and seeing that it is
placed in the wheel, so he can have
some chance of its being drawn out
with prize from the other wheel?
Other lotteries have done so. I'm
der their system, why don't they
make their capital prize 81, 900, 900?
They might as well. Is not the
published list of winners in their
lottery also a fraud? It is very
easy, for a few dollars, to get per-
sons who are willing to let them use
their names &c the holders of a big
prize. Is it any longer wonder
how they controlled the Louisiana
constitutional Convention, courts
and legislatures, and former post
Office administration? Under this
system of drawings, it will be no
trouble to make money enough to
control and run our very govern
ment."

his demise his large circle of friends
rs well as the Floridian parishes
have sustained an irreparable loss.

STRETCHING SMALL WoMEN.--!The
London World tells of new con-
trivance for making ladies taller.
The woman who is to undergo this
process is encased in q very tight
corset, and her feet are placed in
shoes weighted with fifty pounds OF
lead each. She is then placed in a
machine consisting of a ring, which
encircles her waist, and is suspend
ed from the ceiling at such heie bit
rs 20 prevent her feet from touching
the ground. The pressure of the
corset forces the upper part of Ter
body upward, and the weight of the
shoes stretches her from the waist
downward. 1t is estimated that the
extreme length to which the spine
can be stretched by the process thus
described is two inches, and that
the knee, ankle and hip joints can
be stretched an inch and a half
more. Thus three inches and q half
can be added to the height of al
most any woman who has the cour-
age to undergo the trouble and pain
necessarily connected with stretch
ing process lasting. with brief in
terruptions. during FIVE or six
months.

ton of the case? The Attorney
General has been consulted and he
has said, what was plain to every
body from the first, that the con-
tract must be interpreted in con-.
formity with the law under which
it was made. The Governor him
self could never have doubted that;
he only claimed that it was not for
him to interpret the contract, but
for the Judiciary. Now, however,
there is no longer any question as
to the quarter whence the interpre-
tation must come. The Register
declares in his rules that the agent
cannot receive scrip locatable upon
other lands than those he RECEIVERS.
And the Governor approves those
rules If this change is attributa-
bic solely to the Attorney Generals
opinion, and if the Attorney Gen
eral was bound to silence until
consulted, why in the name of COM
mon sense was he not consulted
long ago?
But the reforms now instituted
do not cover the whole ground.
They apply only to future transac-
tons; they do not touch the pact.
They declare that the agent shall
not hereafter he paid for the recoy-
cry of two acres, together worth %
cents, one acre worth IS cents. But
what about those ruinous exchanges
of that sort already made? If such
compensation is illegal now, it has
been Illegal all along. If the State
has been made to pay that which
she did not owe. it is the duty of
the Executive to see that steps are
taken to secure prompt and COM
rlete restitution. The conclusion
Is unavoidable, and the Governor
has thoroughly committed himself
by admitting the premises upon
which it rests.
