 Eugene Caudins, warehouseman for Messrs. B. Onorato & Co. for some time, is good and trusty worker. He was comparatively happy at his home, No. .3i St. Peter street, and in his walks he passed a place in which the tickets of The Louisiana State Lottery Company are displayed. He had purchased tickets in partnership with his Sellow-workers. During August, he saw displayed one which particularly struck his fancy-Ns is,565-whesher it was the peculiar ar- rangement of the S's, or the magical placing of the ], even Gaudins is at loss to explain. But that particular ticket haunted him; peeped out enticingly from the window, begging plainly to be bought The day was close at hand, and still it hung in the window. Its comrades were dropping of, and when the last day, the Ieth, arrived, it was al- most to be pitied for its loneliness. Gaudins each day glanced hastily to see if his little friend was still in place, started several times to walk boldly in and buy on his sole account but the old ttAmmels of the partnership arrangement H~sA ssiuhs onAst tAG hz9& hiOthCuk Gu o'clock on the morning of the ,th he held safely in his sole possession one fifth of the coveted ticket. The revolutions of the wheel at the Academy of Music brought out Nc. .365 as drawing the Capital prize. The fact vas published and came soon to the ears of Caudins, who yesterday was poor. but to-day, by the investment of dollar, ranks among the :" bondholders."
 He called at the office of The Louis- iana State Lottery with MT. B. Onorato. and was promptly paid in full. A re- porter wanted to know what he proposed 10 do, and he answered that he would buy nice home for his family, and that seeing them placed beyond the reach of want and in comfort would be as much happiness as he desired The balance of his money he would try to invest profita- bly,. and would himself continue to play his modest part, unspoiled by prosperity. He signed his name neatly to the receipt tor the money, and vent out of the office of the Lottery as happy and coutented a man ss the Crescent City now contains. -New OvIsass Pieeyss<, August Isth.
 Hearing that another fortunate holder of part of the lucky number Is, s,36s. drawing SIS 900 in the August scheme of the Louisiana State Lottesy was on hand to collect his money, . reportes in- ,erviewed him. Mir. Louis Seymour. the fortunate geaeleman, wsb found in the office of the Loetusy v3tA two friends. He had presented his one-6fth ticket, and was awaiting the making out of the check for the amount it called for. While ap- preciating fully. his fortune, he was per fectly cool and pleasant.
 He told the reporter that he was a native of Memphis, Tenn, and served in Inc Confederase army in the battle of Shiloh under Gsnls. Albert Sidney John ston and Beauregard. His health, im- paired by army service, had grown much worse of late years, and he came here to benefit himself As his means were limited. be weat to york on the buildings of the great Worlds Fair to be held in New Orleans next winter. He stuck to 1t steadily tor nearly five months, al- though 1t almost countea -balanced the good done him by the genial climate.
 He was firm believer in luck. and never failed to purchase . ticket in the Louisiana State Lottery. His experi. ment in purchasing No. Is,36s has con- hrmed him in his belief. He 1as pleased with the country and the people: was de- lighted with everything. and hoped to en- joy h;s good fortune. He had not formed any distinct plans fos the future, but would remain at ease Sos some time re- euperating, not forgetting always to try his luck in the lottery that had proved such bonanza to him.-Ntsv OrLessy Pieayxne, August I6.
