Daniel Boone's Whisky.
Exchange.


 When Daniel Boone and his party were surveying the dark and bloody ground ' they heard the Indians, and as they were on the war-path. they began to devise means to escape death- They had made two chops on tree for line. Daniel had quart of whisky and he said: We must do something with the whisky. or the Indians may catch US and get drunk and kill us all.7 The last tree tha, was chopped had a hollow near a fork. and Daniel Boone put the quart of whisky in he hollow. Forty years had passed. and the question came up aoou: .ha, spot. and Daniel told them they could tel by the quart of whisky in the tree. The tree was found. hu, had grown large and he hoiio" had grown up. but old man Boone said. ''Cut II down. and the quar, o. whisky could be found. and tae aues- tion would be settled whether tha. was the 'po, in dispule.' The tree was felieo ane split open and the bottle was found. but the whisky was gone-had evapor- a'ed n the forty years time i, $ sup posed

A COMPETENT WITNESS.
How the Plain Tale of a Plain Soldier
 Puts Down Injurious Sanders.
An Important Statement from General
 Jubal A. Early.

At this time, when malice and ieno- rance are slandering the Louisiana 5 ate Lottery Company, those who believe in justice and fair play will read with inter- est the following from the pen of Genera Jubal A. Early, whose veracity was never questioned. Read whs, he has to say
 MT. Nj. 4. Dauphin, the President of The Louisiana State Lottery Compan, resides in New Orleans. which has been his place of residence for many years and he is universally esteemed as a gen. tleman of high character. For the cor rectness of whatever he publishes in re- gard 10 the operations of the Lottery Company 1 am willing to vouch. The drawings of the Lottery, semi-annual and monthly, are under the sole and exclu- sive control of General Beauregard and myself, M< oDftiaLs of Me Lottery Csm- bany haviag nothing ho do wiih Aeni, esctpt k0 fnyaiSA Hs 1oIM tif yegKisi1e miferiaLs and faeiHfies; and so< fak< e. pec,ai earf Maf fhe d,asoiags are bn5- HsAed as Mey fakc blaee
 :" l may say here that there are many people who cannot understand how it IS thai. when they have bought five. ten, fifteen. or twenty tickets, they have drawn nothing It is only necessary to say that of those who do buy tickets, there must necessarily be very great many who draw nothing. If it were not so, no one would be fool en ough to establish a lot tery. Where man, by spending ten dollars. stands chance of drawing ] 90 . 900. $50 900, S2o 900, and various other nf Axx ing i've dollars, can draw S7s 900. S,,.- 900. slo,ooo. and various other prizes down 10 s,,, he must not be surprised ii he fails after taking many chances. I, Is a matter of chance or luck entirely.
 Gen. Bauregard and myself have had ample opportunity to test the integrity oi The Louisiana State Lottery Company in all of I;s dealings. and we are willing to voueh for it, as we have done on repeated occasions. If anyone can satisfy us that the Company has acted fraudulently in any of iis dealings. we will dissolve oui connection with 1t very promptly. and take far more efficient measures to ex. pose its misdeeds than can he taken b, irresponsible anonymous newspaper cor. respondents.
 i"c SouuPdhy, "nieh namoerS among its stockholders some of the most respec table gentlemen of New Orleans. has sense enough to know that it can make d great deal more money by conduc,in, its operations fairly and honestly, thar by resort to fraud. It has a firm tinan. l cial basis to stand on, and is therefore sublec, to the hostility of other loue, companies which have no capital.
 may add that it pays for the sup DOT, of the Charity Hospital in New Or ie-ns. one ot the noblest charities in all the country S4o GOO per annum, accord ing to is contract with the State. Reside. ;his. its principal proprie,ors contribute very liberally and largely to other chail. ties and public enterprises.

HEWITT IN A HossLE.
IWashinRson Hatchet


 Hewitt is in hobble ofh:s own manu facture.
 Living in a city and state largely dom mated by Irish voters he naturally want. to be regarded favorahly by them. Thi. led him to present his now notoriou: ODonneil resolution. By it he means tc make himself selid with the voters from the Emerald Isle And but for his owr indiscretion he would have succeeded ir his design.
 But Hewitt IS something of snob anc turf-hunter. So, as soon as he hAc presented his resolution he hurried off te the residence of Mir. West, the British minister, and hunbly offered an ..polog, for daring 10 to a thing which might be offensive to that gentleman and the aris- tocratic government which he represents. NIT. West listened to him with ps,ien, contempt, and then cab,ed his govern ment that II need not pay any attention to the resolution that its author had ex- piained that il was mere '' sound and fury signify ing nothing
 And O'Donnell was promptly hanged
 The story leaked out, and Hewe,, Is as uneasy as though nest of hornets was located m his trousers
 In some sense MT Hewitt is more to be pited than blamed. He Is troubled with dyspepsia, insomnia, an irascible temper, and a defective judgment. In politics a democrat, socially he apes aristocracy. A man of excellent infor- nation. he is essentially narrow-minded 4 manufacturer, he affects revenue re- torm- but stops short with the inu aduc- ton duty free of raw materials. his in tentlon being 10 help the manufacturer at the expense of the people, who buy
 Tor some time past Mir. Hewitt has been industriously engaged in erecting a rod to attract presidential lightning He may now take il down and sell il to the political junk man.
 His attempt to defend himself on the ground that his conversat,on with tEe British minister was private one. IS fu- tile. In matter of such grave import as the life of an American citizen. which had been declared forfeited oy m alien government eager 10 strengthen itself by blood-offering, there can be no private conversations between representatives c. the two governments. The ministers 5 du- ty was to apprise his government of the real meaning of a resolution so i,npoi : tant as that of Mr. Hewit,'s. and when he was voluntarily told by the author oi the resolution that Il really mean: noth- ing, the minister would have been dere- lict in his duty had he not so informed those to whom he was responsible. The talk of some of Mir. Hewiu's friends that minister West should be given his passport is supremely silly.
 What, Involve us in war with great power because an elderly iron-mongei who happens to be democratic con. gressman could't keep his tongue be. tween his teeth, The idea Is simply sublmated idiocy.
 That the result IS fatal to Mir. Hewitt, ambitious political aspirations is bad fol Mir. Heyt;. Tn Hat il will prot. ably leao 10 his permanent retiremen, may be ni. loss. but Il will be the country's gain There are too many loose mouths in pub lie life.

Struggle with a Burglar.

MOUNT PLEASANT, PA, April 29.-Ef
mer Strickler returned to the home Of his
father. J. A. Stricken, about one o'clock in
the morning. Mr.. Stricken, ST., is an ex-
tensive coke operator, his handsome resi-
dence sitting back some distance from the
street in lawn. As young Stricken en-
tered the hall he found the gas turned Of
and heard stealthy footsteps in the dark
ness. He grappled man and violent
struggle took place. Too breathless
to call for aid Stricken found him
self on top of the burglar ON
the floor and proceeded Ito beat him un-
mercifully about the head. His antagonist
wrenched himself away, opened the front
door and rushed out into the lawn. All the
while not q sound was heard from the other
occupants of the house. Young Stricklei
followed and again grappled with the man,
the night being so dark that he was un
able to distinguish his color. Repeated
calls for help were still unanswered,
and the burglar succeeded in throw
ing Stricken, and shot him in the side,
just below the heart, Immediately disap-
pearing in the darkness. When help came
the young man lay desperately wounded on
the lawn, the family being still in sleep.
Examination showed that they had probably
been chloroformed, and they were aroused
with great difficulty Physicians have bern
unable to find the ball In young Strickler's
side and he is In serious condition. The
burglar dropped his hat in his fight, but all
efforts to trace him have so far been in vain.
