COPPER CENTS,

they were possessed of all of CON.
E fort and pleasure that wealth could
procure, there were no people on
. the globe who were more lavish in
their expenditures or who seemed
to hold money in such contemptu-
GUS estimation. Their wealth has
melted away before the fervency Of
war like snow before the sun, and
yet much of the old improvidence
remains. Though "hard to get and
heavy to hold" money is still re-
garded by pany of us only as the
means by which we are to satisfy
our immediate and pressing wants,
with but little if any consideration
for the future, and lordly, su-
preme contempt for filthy lucre,
when subdivided. In the great CT
ties of the North and West, and
even in the cities on our Southern
seaboard, the penny, or copper
cent, is commonly used in trade
But on the Gulf coast we continue
to turn up our fastidious noses at
the insignificant coin and fear to
soil our dainty fingers by touching
the base metal of which it is com
posed. Now we cannot discover
the sense of this antipathy, especi-
ally when many of US have not half
dimes or dimes enough to jingle in
our pockets. There can be no
question that the penny is a most
and necessary coin;
from long use communities have so
decided who are largely more veal
thy than we are, and who are bet
ter fitted by habitual methods of
close calculation to appreciate the
value of money and the article it
purchases. In the light of this
ong and thorough experience, and
n consideration of our changed f.
lancial condition, why should not

STRUCK BY FORTUNE.
One of the Memphis Men Who Drew Fiji
teen Thous and Dollars.

Stories of sudden or miraculous
wealth have always possessed pecu-
liar fascination for the masses, and the
man who has drawn a prize in lot
terry is regarded as the happiest of NOR
tails. At the last drawing of The
Louisiana State Lottery two Memphis
men drew $15, 900 each. One of these
was Mr.. B. j. Dorsey, who has been a
foreman of hands at work upon the
levees along the Mississippi. He has
been living in humble circumstances at
33 jackson street. An Avalanche re-
porter yesterday had curiosity to see
the man who had drawn the $15, 900, so
he repaired TO the corner of Main and
jackson streets and inquired of some
children where Dorsey lived.
"You mean the man that drew the
lottery prizep" asked one Of them.
eyes," replied the reporter.
"He's moved away. He used to live
in that little house over there, but he's
goin' to live in fine house in Fort
Pickering now"
The reporter greatly marveled and
went to the house pointed out to him,
and asked man there if Dorsey still
lived there.
"No," was the reply. "You see he
drew part of the big prize in The
Louisiana State Lottery, and he wants
more stylish quarters. He's got the
money and guess he's happy. 1 wish
was in his place, that's ALL"
Mr.. Dorsey is said to be a man in
every way deserving the good luck that
mas been thrust upon him by chance.
