"The Mountaineer" Excited.

An employe at the asylum here drew a
fifth of the second capital prize of $25, 900,
in the Grand Drawing of the Louisiana
State Lottery, last Tuesday, February
II, and not the whole $4,000 as the
newspapers and he would like to have it.
We would give the name of the lucky
man, but don't know whether he cares
about having his name published. The
excitement around Morganton, n. c., and
the eagerness with which the newspapers
were scanned to find the name of the for
tunate ticket holder of No. SO, 1853, revealed
the fact that numbers Of our citizens who
would never have been suspected of in
vesting in lotteries, held tickets in the
Louisiana State Lottery at New Orleans.
The 10Th drawing viii take place on
Tuesday, April s, when $262,500 will be
scattered in prizes under Gen'ls Beaure-
gard and .Early's management. All in
formation will be gwen by NJ. A. Dauphin,

HOW O'DoNOvANlSOUND DUMAS.
The Famous Novelist at Home with Two
Fair Creatures for His Ministers.
,iRteV's Magazine.

The burly magician of the pen was sit
ting in his shirt sleeves opposite a wide
fireplace with cracking logs on the andi-
rOns. One fair lady in dressing gown
reclined in an easy chair, with her legs
supported on another and smoked a Rus
sian cigarette. A second leaned over the
grand old man and toyed with his friZZled
locks. The latter quietly LETT the room as
the visitors entered. The occupant of the
arm chair never took the slightest notice
of their presence, but calmly continued
blowing cloudlets.
SIS Madame in the wayF' queried Du-
mas.
''Npt at all, )" answered the visitor, cour-
teOusly; ION the contrary, as / am on an
errand Of charity, am the more pleased
to have her here, for her woman's heart is
sure to aid me-" Madame inclined her
head slightly and the Italian proceeded to
eXpound his mission. Command me,'3
said Dumas, heartily, when h. : ,,ao noard

There are only ST. and a few sous berep,
said the visitor, ruefully. Dumas laughed
ajoyous laugh, full of the spirit of school
boy miiSsc"hief. i am hardly surprised.,
he said, looking at the lady; "the money
takes wings to itself and flies away; but
if it were 500 or 1,500 instead of or, you
know you were welcome to it."
As ODonOvan was taking his leave
Dumas complimented him on his French.

AN ANTI-ARTHUR CONFERENCE
Blaine Believed to Be the Favorite.

Blaine Believed to BE the FavOrite.
A New York special of the Goth says
that ex-senator Chaffee, Of Colorado, is
developing diplomatic talent. lie has been
here for about a month, coming on from
Washington with Logan. He accompanied
Logan to Grants house one Sunday after
noon, and next day, when Logan re-
turned to Washington, Chafee took
quarters at hotel in Grants immediate
neighborhood.
The union of the two families by the
marriage of Chaffee's daughter 10 Grants
son would have justified this for social rea-
sons if no other, and probably little more
would have been thought of it had not
Chatfee OF late been quite talkative with
reference to Mr.. Blaine's chances of NOM
inatiOn.
Chaffee was one Of Blaine's most vigor-
GUS supporters four years ago, and is no
less friendly to Blaine now. He seems to
have made some impression on Gen.
Grant in Blaine's favor. A rumor the
other day started with him that Mr.. Conk-
ling had said he preferred Blaine to Ar
thur, which should be construed only as
illustrating his antipathy to Arthur.
Warner Miller came over from Wash
i1gtOn last Sunday and met Chaffee
and Collector Robinson at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel, where they remained good
part of the day. This was supposed to
mean not only a prO-BlaIne but anti
Arthur conference. Chaffee's intimacy
with Logan still continues, and he is at
last recognized as a gO-between who is
trying to keep intact the alliance of ele-
ments that oppose Arthur. His ultimate
purpose is, doubtless, to help Blaine's
candidacy, and that IS believed to be part
of his errand to Washington, where he
now goes to meet Gen. Grant.

HENKIE's ELECTRIC SYSTEM
Proposing to Light Cities from Batter
les at Niagara Falls.

Proposing to Light Cities from Batter
les at Niagara Falls.
Col. Leonard Henkle, the inventor of a
system of electric lighting which he pro-
poses to transmit to 65 cities in the
United States from central batteries sta
toned at Niagara Falls, to be run by i'm
mense water power there, says a Lock
port special of the 18th inst. to the New
York Times, was seen in this city to-day
The action of the State Commissioners
cOndemning the land around the falls for
an international park has greatly discOn-
certed Col. Henkte's arrangements, but
he says new ones viii be made and the
work will certainly go on. On Sunday
he received a letter from Chicago bank
err who has, he says, taken $1,000 900 of
the stock, stating "that he was soon COM
ing east to Baltimore, w1Ttch city he
would make his headquarters. lie Will
there take charge Of the company and
form a syndicate in New York city to 90
on with the work. Col. Henkie is now
having a cottage built at Niagara Falls
which will be ready for his occupancy in
May, and he will then go there to super
intend the work of erecting buildings for
the batteries and digging a canal to OBJ
tain the water power.
The power VIII be transmitted In q sill
yer wire about the size of straw laid
underground incased in heavy pipes made
of asphaltum. Such a wire, the.Golonel
states, can with a 40-foot battery at the
Niagara Falls end, transmit in four hours
to Rochester enough electricity to light
that city for y hours. LOckport and
Buffalo will probably be the first places
where Col. Henkle will introduce his ap-
paratus as experimental points, and he
expects that he will be ready to make
those experiments next fall. By pro-
perly constructed means for the cOnser-
walton of electric energy he expects to
overcome the resistance usually found in
transmitting currents through long dis
tanCeS.

The Lottery Fipht.

In the absence of the Postmaster Cen
eral, says the New York San, the Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads
cruelty maltreated his pet scheme of ven-
EeaEce against the Louisiana lottery.
They refused to indorse the exclusion of
papers printing lottery advertisements
from the mails. The fight between the
Postmaster General and the Louisiana
lottery is very interesting, in view Of
Judge Gresham's legal reputation and the
anticipation that he would be able to tie
the lottery company hand and foot. But
he has not yet developed ingenuity enough
to do it. Sometimes the Postmaster Gen
eral is on top and sometimes the lottery
company. The company seems to find
Judge Gresham something like the whale
did Jonah-they can't hold him though
they can get him down.

COEFON.-The market was a tribe stronger
and the demand good. Very little trading
was done. owing to the extreme scarcity of Of
ferinrs. Holders are very firm and extreme
in their ideas Of price. They are sufficiently
encouraged. however, by the fact that the ac-
tual amount Of stock here is very much less
than given officially by the Cotton Exchange.
Consequently they are firm holders and are
not in a hurry TO part with stocks at present
quotations. There was light business for
the day The sales were BPS bales. The Of
