The Hog Problem.

Representative Dunn, Of this state
thinks congress should proceed very
deliberately and carefully in the mat
ter of authorizing retaliatory meas.
ures against France and Germany
because Of their exclusion of Ameri-
can pork. He says that the rushing
through of a bill directing the exec
utive department. to retaliate by the
exclusion from this country OF pro-
ducts of France and Germany would
not only be indecorous. but it might
complicate our relations with foreign
nations. The state department is
now having copies of all correspond
ence and reports relating to the sub
iect made for transmission to con-
eress, and Col. Dunn maintains that
it will be time enough to enact retail
iatory legislation when it is discov.
cred that there is no remedy under
existing treaties. He thinks that
the first step in that direction should
be the establishment of thorough
system of governmental inspection,
not only to apply to exports, but to
include also products consumed at
home. This would remove the pre-
text upon which our products are now
excluded by other nations, and would
tend to the preservation to public
health at home. Col. Dunn thinks
that the sentiment of the committee
on commerce, of which he is a mem
Der, is to proceed carefully, but firm
lly; to avoid anything like hasty ac'
ton, but to make its action, when de-
termined, effective.

An Important Statement from
General Jubal A. Early
At this time, when malice and ig
norance are slandering The Louisi-
ana State Lottery Company, those
who believe in justice and fair pia,
will read with interest the following
from the pen ef General Jubal A.
Early, whose veracity was never
lQuestioned. Read what he has to
| say:
"Mr. M. A. Daupin, tie President
Of The louisiana State Lottery Com
pany, resides in New Orleans, which
has been his place of residence for
many years; and he is universally
esteemed as 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
drawing Of the Lottery, semi annual
and monthly. are under the sole and
exclusive control Of Gen. Beauregard
and myself, the officials of the Lot
terry Company having nothing to do
with them, except to furnish us with
the requisite materials and facilities; !;
and we take especial care that the
drawings 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 haye bought
fiye, ten, fifteen, or twenty tickets,
they have drawn nothing. tits only
necessary to say that of those who
do buy tickets, there must necessa'
rily be great many who draw moth
ing. II it were not so, no one would
be fool enough to establish lottery.
Where a man, spending ten dollars,
stands chance of drawing $3.50, 900,
$50, 900, $4,000, and various other
prizes of smaller amounts: or, by
spending five dollars, can draw $75,:
600. $25, 1000, $4,000, and various
other prizes down to $25, he must not
be surprised if he fails after taking
many chaneess~---It- lea matter of
chance or cklentirely. 4ia
'Gen. Beauregard and myself have
had ample opportunity to test the in
tegrity Of The Louisiana State Lot
terry Company in all its dealings, and
we are willing tn vouch for it, as we
have done on repeated occasions. II
any one can satisfy US that the Com
pany has acted lfaudulently in any
of its dealings, we will dissolvefour
connection with it very promptly, and
take far more efficient measures to
expose its misdeeds than can be ia
ken by Irresponsible anonymous
newspaper correspondents.
"The Company, which numbers
among its stockholders some of the
most respectable gentlemen OF New
Orleans, has sense enough to know
that it can make . great deal more
money by conducting its operations
fairly and honestly, than by resort
to fraud. 1t has a firm financial ba-
sis to stand on, and is therefore sub
ject to the hospitality of other lot
terry companies which have no CAPT
tai.
81 may add that it pays for the
support of the Charity Hospital in
New Orleans, one of the noblest char
tiles in all the country, $40, 900 per
annum. according toits contract with
The State. Besides this, its principal
proprietors contribute very literally
and largely 80 other charities and
public enterprises. 10 fe1g

Our Novel.


Once upon time there lived two
farmers, who had about equal pos
sessions. One Of them, Mr.. Eater
prise, took his county paper, and
kept posted in his county affairs.
The other, Mr.. Dullhead, subscribed
for a metropolitan weekly and could
daily recite chapters CT foreign al
fairs. Finally IN the natural course
of events tax assessing time came.
Mr.. Enterprise was duly apprised Of
the matter through the columns Of
his paper, attended to the matter, and
worked on happily. Mr.. Dullhead
knew nothing Of the matter until one
day the assessor rode up to his gate
and told him his business. Dullhead
hummed and hawed; said he knew
nothing about it; paid the assessors
penalty and was mad.
In due course Of time tax collect
ing time came. Mr.. Enterprise paid
his, got receipt, and rested easy.
Mr.. Dullhead knew nothing about
the matter as usual After a time
Mr.. Enterprise told him his land was
to be sold the following Monday for
taxes. This dumbfounded HIM. He
didn't believe it, but went to see
about 1t and found it true. He re-
deemed his land by paying the clerks,
sheriff's, printers and whole lot Of
other fees. So long.
CHAPTER II.
Dullhead on seeing he was being
beat on every side, decided he would
buy a lot OF bonds and replenish his
fast decaying cash. He bought lot
and laid them away to draw interest
while he slept and thought it all
right. After q time that issue Of
bonds was duly advertised in the
county paper to be called in and re-
issued, and all still outstanding was
valueless. Dullhead by not taking
his county paper knew nothing of
this and went to draw his money.
His chagrin and disappointment can
better be imagined than described
when he found his bonds we're utter
ly worthless.
