SEND THE NEws.-As the VaLey Echo says
''a great many newspaper readers expect too
much from the journalistic fraternity. They
think newspaper men ought to have full parti-
culars of every event. big or little, that takes
place. This would be well enough if editors
were ubiquitous and omniscient. But unfortu-
nately for these dissatisfied readers we are not
omnpresent nor all-wise, and consequently
there are sometimes happenings of which we
are blissfully ignorant. Our news columns
might be much fuller than they are, If our
country readers would take the trouble to drop
us line or two about any local occurrences
which they think would interest our readers ~

He was a we'll posted but speculative business
man-had read of marvellous fortunes which
had been won by little puts and calls in North
srn Pacific preferred stock. He reflected: he
drew his little savings on his way to Wall
Street, to do the deed. En- route there, he saw
an advertisement showing what could be done
with IS in ticket in the Monthly Drawing Of
The Louisiana State Lottery. Hereconsidered
and sent his S. to NJ. A. Dauphin, New Orleans,
La. and drew 10000 per cent. $500. He pities
those who lost in Northern Pacific Preferred,

Yhe Circulation OF the Blood Is Justly

Hhe Circulation OF the Blood Is justly
esteemed the greatest ordination of Divine
Providence; by that beating engine, the heart,
it is driven to all parts of the system, giving
vigor and strength to the complicated ma.

sleep or wake, sallies briskly through the arte
ries and returns softly through the veins. How
necessary that it should be kept free from all
impurity. and yet how negligent many are, re-
specting this great essential to the enjoyment
of perfect health. Derangement in the Live,

HOW THE PLAIN TALE OF PLAIN SOLDIER
PUTS DOWN INJURIOUS ISLANDERS.
An Important Statement from General
Jubal A. Early.

At this time, when malice and ignorance are
slandering The Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany, those who believe in justice and fair
play will read with interest the following from
the pen of General Jubal A. Early, whose We
racity was never questioned. Read what he
has to say
"Mr. M. A. Dauphin. the President of The
Louisiana State Lottery COmpany resides in
New Orleans. which has been his place of resi-
dence for many years; and he is universally
esteemed as a gentleman of high character
For the correctness of whatever he publishes
in regard to the operations of the Lottery Com
pany am willing to vouch. The drawings of
The Lottery, semi-annual and monthly, are I'M
der the sole and exclusive control of General
Beauregard and myself, the officials of the Lot
tern Company haze nothing to do aDith them,
cept TO furnish aUith requisite materials and ia
cilities; and aoe take especial that the dra,0-
i1gs are published precisely as they take place.
II may say here that there are many people
who cannot understand how it is that, when
they have bought i've, ten, fifteen, or twenty
tickets, they have drawn nothing. 1t is only
necessary 10 say of those who do buy tick cts,
there must necessarily be a very great many
who draw nothing. If 1t were not SO, no one
would be fool enough to establish lottery
Where a man, by spending ten dollars stands
chance of drawing $3.50 900. $50 900, so GOO and
various other prizes of smaller amounts; or,
by spending nve dollars, can draw S75 600,
SIS D55 $40 sos and various ottsSs prizes down
TO S25 he must not be surprised If he fails after
tDking many chances. 1t is a matter of chance
luck en- tirely.
Gen Beauregard and myself have had am
pie opportunity to test tht integrity of The
Louisiana State Lottery Com any in all of its
dealings, and we are W Ing 20 vouch for it, as
