 How they did drink in the good old days. The king once said to Sir John Irwin. commander. in-chief in Ireland ' They tell me, Sir John, you like glass of wine" Those who have reported that fact answered Sir John. lowing pro- foundly, "have done me great injustice like bottle" Pitt and Dundas drank at enc sitting seven bottles at an inn on the road to Waimer. The Duke of Ru,- land killed himself by drinking all nigh, and then eating six or seven turkeys eggs for breakfast. Claret vas the favor ite drink in Ireland. A French traveller after incautiously refreshing himself with tumbler of whisky, cried out: "Le win du pays est diablement fort?" So it is {: but claret taken in moderation hurts no man. When another convivial lord lieu tenat, the duke of Richmond, who. of course, being a duke, had married a daughter of the duchess of Gordon, was dining with Mir. Sneyd, the great wine merchant, Mir. Sneyd drank so much of his own claret that>he tunbled under the table. Mir.

The Best in the World.

Among the brewed beverages of the world the Anheuser-Busch Beer, made by the Anheuser-B Busch Brewing Associ- ation of St. Louis, Mo, takes the lead. The highest awards have been given this beer over all others wherever exhibited both in America and Europe notably at Philadelphia in 1876, at Paris in IS7S and at the Worlds Exposition, Amster- dam, 1885, on which occasion all of the European brewers of note competed for the prize. These facts supported by the popularity of the Anheuser- Busch beer among beer consumers everywhere are indisputable.
 For the convenience oi their trade the Association has established beer and ice depots at numerous points throughout the country. where the dealer may obtain supplies in small quantities and avoid the delay which would be oceasioned if compelled to order direct rom St. Louis. They have an extensive depot of this kind in Little Rock under the manage men, of H. F. Mons, who will give prompt attention to all shipments. Ad- dress all orders to

Money hard earned is hard to spend.
 Evil come mewin' cations corrupt good cats.
 One of the best crafts on the sea of life friendship.
 External vigil aunts is frequently the price of liberty.
 Every noble act of mans life is woven into an angels wing.
 No man can play on the horn of plenty if unable to raise the wind.
 If hell is paved with good intentions, Heaven is macadamized with their full fillment.
 The coffin is dice box into which death tumbles mans bones. When the box is shaken God or the devil wins The game involves an eternity of happ.- ness or misery.

A LOBBYING TRICK.
Washington Capital. ]

Huntington's letters, recking with sug- gestions of bribery and corruption. re- mind me of eonversatios had recently with an old politician in regard to lobby methods tn Washington. He was telling me the methods by which men interested in legislation secure control of senators and members. He gave me one idea, at least, that was new. It shows that it is not at all necessary that any money should pass between the vote buyer and his victim in order to put the latter effect. ually in the power of the former.
 He said one of the commonest tricks resorted to by old hands at the business IS to send an agent to the member and lay this little trap. The member is poor and he is on an important committee The agent says: Would you like to make little money2 think can tell you how to do it." The new man oi course replies that he would be very glad to make some money in proper way. He inqulres how the money is to be made The agent says he knows of a certain stock that is going to rise-he has the information from Mir. Huntington or Mir. Gould, or whoever the principal may be- A few thousand dollars put up as a margin will be sure to bring very large returns. To which the members replies that he has no money.
 The agent at once responds that it will not be necessary for him to advance any money that "the old man will be glad enough to do that, and the members name need not appear in the transaction in any way. The member accepts the proposition, and quietly awaits the rise in the stock that is going to put him in very comfortable circumstances. But the stock does not rise. The innocent mem- Der, who is willing to be helped" in this quiet and pleasant way, does not know that the old man and his agent, instead of selecting stock that will rise, have carefully selected one that is certain to decline.
 Pretty soon the agent goes to the mem- Der and says to him: Look here, that thing has not turned out quite as we ex- pected, but it is not our fault. We in- tended to do something handsome by you. The stock has gone down and we have made a loss. What will you do about it?' The poor member again responds that he has no money, and he is good deal disgusted at the situation in which he finds himself, for he now be- lieves that he really is under some obliga- ton to " the old man." The agent next says to him: "Well, you need not pay any money now; just give me your note for the amount. and that will be all right." So the fool of a member gives his note, which the agent takes and puts in the old mans hands and he owns the poor mem- Der, whe is expected to work and to vote right on all the old mans schemes. am told that this is favorite game to be played on members of the house of committee on appropriations, whenever one can be found who is green enough and greedy enough to bs caught in such a trap. or course there are cases where members are helped to make money by men who want to secure their votes.

A LUCKY LOT.
The Men Who Held . Fair Portion of

The Men Who Held a Fair Portion oi
 the Capital Prize.
 One-fifth of ticket 6S, ,sSo,of The Louis jana State Lottery Company, which drew the capital prize of S7s ,ooo in the drawing cn Tuesday, was held by Mir. N. B. Phelps, clerk in the office of the city treasurer of New Orleans.
 This gentleman was seen by a 7isaes- Demoeyaf reporter yesterday morning while he was engaged in the pleasant business of exchanging bit of paper for check for SIS 900. He seemed by no means unduly excited over his good for tune, and explained with real or assumed nonchalanee that he was in the habit oi handling large sums of money.
 "Of your own%
 "Oh, no in my work in the treasurer's office"
 "Quite a difference" laughed two friends by whom he was accompanied and you need not be putting on so much of the sang J,oid, so to speak, for If ever a man was nervous for whole forenoon, you are the one"
 Well, confess that l did turn pale for about i've minutes when l compared the figures on the ticket with those op- posite the capital prize, as published in the Ifmes- Dfm0fyak, but the shock had been already broken to some extent, for when l saw the evening papers yesterday, l had strong impression that the figures of the lucky ticket were the same as those on one had in drawer at the office l went home and told my mife thought | hA hut ha h. I joking. It was only when got to the office this morning and spelled the figures over and over, one by one, that l succumbed entirely to the pleasant fact.
 The conversation was here interrupted by the entrance of the cashier with that testimony of things unseen, that sub- stance of things hoped for" check for Sis GOO. MT. Phelps having surrendered the ticket and receipt, rose quickly. and buttoning his coat, remarked that he was in something of hurry. as he wished to pay balance on a little property he had bought some time since, and which had been lingering unpaid rather longer than he liked, on account of the late mixed condition of the city finances, and then he wanted to get home to see his wife and children.
 " Did you ever win anything in the lot tery betore!'
 Yes Si 70 once. and have had mo- ton that would catch it again sooner or later, and so have. Good day" And he folded the check and disappeared with a brisk step in the direction of the Louis jana National Bank.
 Yesterday morning the Tm<s-Demo- eral reporter had an interview with MT. Sacerdote, whe held another one-fitth of the same ticket. MT. Sacerdote stated that he had not played the lottery regu lariy, but enc day mel man on Baronne street who was selling tickets. He bought one-ffth of ticket and it drew the prize, SIS 900. Heretofore he had been doing odd jobs about the streets, and did not play the lottery regularly. Orieans (La ] Tmes-Demoeyaf, Nov. $.
