Still Another Prize OF $4,000
for Boston Men.

After writing the notice of Mr.. Gar
WINS luck, we learned that Mr.. T. r.
Bell, of S26 East Fifth street, South Bos.
ton, had drawn another one-tenth of the
capital prize of $40 200, at the late draw.
ing of the Louisiana State Lottery. Our
reporter called upon Mr.. Bell, on Mon
day, who is prominent builder, in COM
Portable circumstances. Bell said that
he and Mr.. Joseph Lyon began about a
year ago to invest so cents a month each
in Louisiana Lottery tickets, and that
they have now been rewarded by this
$4,000, which they have divided equally
between them. The money came prompt
ly to hand by The Adams Express Co., a
few days ago. Mr.. Lyon is a book-ke ,p-
err in the store Gl3 Broadway, South Bos-
ton, and has wife and three children.
He Is elated over his good luck, and says
that the $4,000 is big fortune for him.
1t will enable him to secure house of his
own, and make his family comfortable.
As both these gentlemen are old residents
of South Boston, and known to be of the
strictest integrity, their statements can
be relied upon From the Boston Com
mcrcial and Shipping List, of january I'd.

The news from the floods in Europe
is extraordinary. The Rhine and the
Danube have proved to be as unman-
ageable as the Mississippi. Whole
towns are submerged, the water in
some cases nearly reaching the roofs
of the houses, and thousands have
been driven from their homes. In Vi
emma there is great alarm lest the
dykes that protect the city give way,
and every effort is being made to
strengthen them. Men have lived in
the valleys of these rivers great many
centuries, but they have not yet learn
ed to control the waters. In contest
for the mastery the rivers win the day,
even in the heart of Europe, and in
spite of all the engineers.

A Second Prize Of $4,000.

Mr.. John II. Gnrvin, the Metropolitan
horse car driver, who drew prize Of
$4,000 in the Louisiana State Lottery
about year ago, has just drawn another
prize of $4,000. Truly, u handsome
Christmas present Last year when his
good luck was announced, he was spend
Ing Thanksgiving with his relatives in The
country, and this year when the good
news came to Boston he was on u Christ
mas visit. On Saturday, he called at our
office, and assured us that the story was
true. lie had just received information
through the Continental National Bank
that the ticket was cashed, and that the
money was on its way here. He said
that he held parts of five tickets, and that
one of them drew the capital prize of
800, 900, Of which he had one-tenth. He
says he intends to continue to invest
moderately, as he mt know of an easier
way to make fortune. After drawing
the prize last year, he invested his money
IN bonds and savings banks, and contin-
ued on the road till August, when he re-
signed, in order to attend to his invalid
wife, who has now partially recovered
her health. He now proposes to go into
the grocery business. Mr.. Garvn is
about 81 years old, aud is fine specimen
Of New Hampshire boy. He Is strictly
temperate in his habits, using neither liq-
or nor tobacco, and seems to have Il we'll
balanced mind, so there is no danger of
msusing his suddenly acquired riches.
He now resides ut No. 2G Willard Place,
South end, with more comfortable sur
roundings than he had year ago, when
he was living on &l.75 per day. OF course;
his second streak Of luck has increased
the excitement among his numerous ac-
quaintances, and they are convinced that
a small sum OF money invested in lot
terry ticket Is not entirely thrown away
From the Boston Commercial and Ship
ping List, of January I'd.

One of the beauties of the present
high tariff is seen in the disposition of
the Congressional Committee having
the revision of the tariff under consid-
Grafton to double the duty on tin plate.
For the benefit of the pockets of very
few manufacturers in this country they
propose to increase the tax on every
class of goods used by 50,OOO,OuO
people. In other words all the people
of this country are invited to contribute
a few dollars in the shape of an in
