a lucky Pool.

About the first of March twenty-sev-
en- workmen at the West Milwaukee
shops of the ST. Paul road, nearly all OF
whom were employed IN the paint de-
partment, conceived the idea Of trying
their luck in the forthcoming drawing
OF the Louisiana state lottery With
the exception of one or two, who took
two chances, the men each contributed
one dollar, which was invested in tick
cts and a pool formed The drawing
took place at New Orleans on the 18th
inst, and a few days afterwards Henry
Rivers, foreman of the railway company
paint shops, who had been intrusted
with the matter received advices from
Mr.. Daupilin, president of the Louis
lama lottery, that ticket No IA, 467 had
drawn the first capital prize Of S75, 900,
one fifth of the ticket being held by the
Milwaukee pool, emitting the members
to $15, 900. Last week (Tuesday) the
money was paid to Mr.. Rivers through
the Marine and Fire Insurance com
pany's bank. The windfall has been
divided among the fortunate investors,
each receiving $555.55. The men were
highly elated over their unexpected
good fortune, and the promptness with
which the money was paid by the lot
terry management. Nearly every cent of
the money has been invested in home
steads A Wisconsin reporter made a
search for the names of the lucky men,
but several who were seen refused to
talk about their lucky streak. Milwau-

A st. Louis Oakley in Calcutta.

A letter from Hon. J. i. Swift of San
Francisco, dated at Calcutta, India,
Jan. 10, says:
BY the way, there lisa circus company
playing here now, and ore of its chief
attractions consists of a son of the great
Zulu king, Cetawayo. He is called
Young Cetawayo"; sometimes on the
bills is posted up as Prince Cetawayo."
He has band of African lions, five in
number, most ferocious brutes, which
he claims to have captured in Zululand
and brought over here as a sort OF lord
" or kingly sport. He is showing now
in Wilson's circus, and does certainly do
the lion tanning business in splendid
style. Van Amburg could not approach
Prince Cetawayo in making lions per-
form. He comes out appareled as an
African Prince, splendid and fierce be-
yond description. He makes
the monarch of brutes
Jump through burning hoops and over
flaming walls, and all that sort of thing
wonderful to behold. The circus is
near my hotel, and a few days ago I
dawdled around there in the forenoon,
strolled into the circus ground, which
is on the great open square of Calcutta,
known as the MADAM. There was
baby elephant standing tied to post
which interested me, and / played with
the gentle thing for some time. As i
turned away | observed negro man
dressed in European clothes, lettering
about near by. He reminded me at
the first glance of Uncle Jake's boy
Whack so strongly that | couldn't help
speaking to him. As got nearer he
looked more like Whack than ever. 1t
just seemed to me that if he should
speak at all it would be to say: 'Mas'r
Frank, You hain't got AIRY single dime
about you JUS now, have you?" But he
did not speak. Heseemed, on the con-
trary, to look shy and disconnected as |
approached him, and to look furtively
around for a place to sneak away to.
But / was bound not to let that niger
escape me, for while he looked much
like Whack, he also looked, save as to
dress, which was all Whack, very much
like young Cetawayo, the son of the
Zulu king. That it was either Whack
or young Cetawayo felt sure, and as
Whack was older or dead, [ thought /
would try him on the African prince, so
/ sain to him Look here! amt Won
Prince Cetawayo?7 The negro looked
confused. and he answered.: Oats

are you from?" said ], without giving
him time to think. st. Louis, sab"
said he, rather hesitatingly. II thought
so, said / What was your masters
name?" "W--was his name" an
swered Prince Cetawayo; he lived at
about Sixteenth and Carr. 1t was true
enough, and / greeted him as country
man. 1t is wonderful how small the
world is getting isn't it?

Progress in Japan.

The Manchester Guardian says: For
about sixteen years thatis to say, from
the restoration of the Mikado to his an
Gent power in 1868 and the firm estab-
lishment of o centralized government
Japan has steadily followed the path OF
reform and progress pointed out by the
west The feudal system has wholly
disappeared They have gradually as
simulated the laws, methods of admin
istration and political ideas which gov
ern in Europe. They have created not
only an army and navy-these, indeed,
they do not by any means regard as the
chief of their advances q trained
judiciary, fiscal system and police and
prison organization, which place them
on q level with the most enlightened
nations of the globe. Nor has progress
of other kinds been wanting. Tele-
graphs now connect every town OF note
in the empire; railways are
being made as quickly as circumstances
permit; the Japanese postal system will
bear comparison with that Of any Euro
pean country, and native steamship
companies do most of the carrying trade
along the coast and large share of that
with the neighboring countries, China
and Corea. Every village has its school,
and in the larger towns are preparatory
colleges for the central university in the
capital Also large numbers of stu
dents have been sent abroad to England
France, Germany, the United States
and elsewhere, and have fairly held
their own against their more favored
competitors. Only the other day we
heard of a Japanese having been select
ed as chief assistant to the professor OF
anatomy in the Berlin University In
short, the statesmen of Japan have
frankly adopted progress along west
ern paths as the text of their policy"
