LOttO.piayers and Dreams. rEro,,, +ba saE,,raoz pa1z,a-r

Lotto players rely on chanceIcircumstances,
 omens, and dreams for the numbers they de- sire to play. Thus, if bull were to break loose from five men, to run 38 paces, and to stop opposite house the number of which was 96, the spectators would rush to the
 nearest bank and lay their money on 5, 35, 96. In the same way, if they were to dream of numbers, they would at once back them. This misfortune is that neither circumstances
 nor dreams are generally so clear as the ex-
 amples above given. But the genius of the nation has been equal to the occasion. Va rious books have been published, several of formidable size, which undertake ts reduce everything one can possibly see, or, more es- pecialIy, dream of, to 8 number for the pur- poses of the game. The present writer was once compelled to pass two days in 8 village inn where the only literature attainable was such book, and he earnestly endsa gored to discover on what principles the numbers
 were arranged, but could find none. This may have been the fault of his own duliness, for when he came to look little further he found abundant reasons to admire the in- genuity of the author. He cannet guaran- tee the correctness of the details or the num- bers; but, on the whole, the impression he gives is, he believes, correct. You have dreamed of tree, and turn to the infallible oracle: 8 tree is 9, but dead tree is S7, and 8 green one 40; so far all is clear; but then Ieafess tree is 96. Who but botanist of the most inveterate kind can distinguish dead from leafiess tree when he is dream
 ing? But this is not all. Every forest tree in Italy has it's own peculiar number, so if you have dreame5 of winter landscape you are left to decide not only the difficult qnes- tion whether it was 8 simple, dead or leaf less tree that appeared to you in the vision or the night, but also whether it was eek, beach, chestnut, or some species whose name you never heard. Your success depends upon your choice, and if you lose your money your neighhor will soon discover that It IS you, not the book that is to blame. 1t IS stu more diverting, however, to discover that single number represents your stepmotnef, giraffe, Napoleon l., and frog croaking upon stone. In 8 word, 1t IS the very exactness of the book that renders is at once so mysterious and so infallible.

FREEBoOTERs OF FINANCE.


 Blaekwood's Magazine is not given to ad- miration of Americans and American things, but it does not always stick closely to the facts in its criticisms of them. It has an article this month entitled Free booters of Fi- nance, " in which 8 good deal of truth is told and an effort to give the impression that in England there is no such rascality in finari- cial matters as has been displayed here. Ik thus describes Jay Gould: From the time of his brilliant coup against the Erie railway MT. Gould has been financial freebooter of the first order-s Wall street strategist of unfathomable depth. He was shrewd enough to see that the easiest way to make sure of success in gambling is to get hold of the stakes. That has been his principle from the beginning. He got hold of the stakes when he captured Erie. He got hold of the stakes when he built up ''the vast Wabash" T" the foundation he built upon being shares of bankrupt lines which Rus. sell Sage and he picked up at about $2 apiece. He got hold of the stakes when he watered Western Union stock up to $sO, OoO,- 900. He got hold of the stakes ain when he captured the Missouri Pacific, fixing him self and his friends on the directorate and raised it to 12 per cent. line-on paper. Once more he got hold of the stakes when the Gould clique beared the elevated roads almost into bankruptcy, and then rescued them by taking the management. Little wonder that MT. Gould would find it easier to make millions of dollars than other men do to earn bread and cheese. The mystery E. A1.. them.
 This is not bad description of some of MT. Goulds performances. But the writer of the article goes further and says that while neither Dr. Talmage nor Henry Ward Beecher has yet succeeded in framing g new decalogue for America that event cannot be far distant. He continues: The country of it's own which foreigners reduire to get accustomed to before they appreciate it. The Americans regard the accidents aud mis- fortunes of commercial life from different standpoint to ours. In describing matters where old fashioned morality still presumes to intrude on the liberty and license of finan- cial enterprise, they use terminology which has been modified to suit their special wants Such ugly, ill sounding words ss ''fraud,' dishonesty and the like are rarely heard among them outside of politics, where they mean practically nothing.
 And so forth and so on. We are ready 10 admit that the state of business morals in this country is not as good as could be wished, but we do not believe that our swindlers are capable of giving the sWindlers of England many points. Jay Gouldis bigger operator than any Englishman, but his methods find active imitators in England.

M. Labarde has been making some truly ghastly experiments with the head of Campi, who was recently executed in Paris. By means of tube he connected the carotid vein of the head with the corresponding vein of living dog, and the head being placed upright on table, the stop placed on the dog was removed. As the blood was car ried into the head the livid hue of the face disappeared and color returned, the forehead and cheeks being sufused and the eyelids moving. Some time had elapsed since Gam pi's death, and M. Labarde regrets that such experiments cannot take place immediately after execution, as the physiologist might thus be able to witness grand and terrible spectacle"

The following interesting political item is credited to one of the English papers which are noted for the intelligence with which they discuss affairs in this country: The
 party papers in the United States are now
 busy abusing the opposing candidates for President. The Democrat nominee is George
 Washington Curtis, and the Republican ps-
 pers do not talk of anyone else. The Re- publican candidate is one Stephen Grover. of Cleveland, governor of New York. and all the Democratic papers are trying to show how unworthy 8 man he is.
 The arrivals of immigrants at Castle Gar den for the first six months of this year compared with the first half of last year. This is probably due more to the fact that crops were good in Europe last year than to any other cause. Provisions are cheaper this year as a result, and those who are ayerse to changing their environment till forced by necessity to do so are remaining to try Europe while longer. And then, too, as they might be.
 The record of the English house of com mons on woman suffrage is interesting at this time. in view of the recent vote upon the question, when it was defeated by vote of 1855 to 27l. During the last sixteen years there have been ten divisions in that body, the record of which is as follows: In 1867, for woman's suffrage, S1 against POP; 1870, l19 against 244; 1871, 159 against 228; 1872, l65 against PAP; 1873, 172 against 239, 1875, l7O against 2O5; 1876, 161 against PAS; 1878 l55 against 2s5; 1879, 1s4 against 245; 1883, l6S against 179.

INDIANS DYING OF HUNGER.-A cores
pendent at Fort Buford, Dakota, writes
"The condition Of the Indians at the Poplar
Creek and Wolf Point agencies is so deplor.
able that, unless speedy relief is afforded
many of them will die of starvation. The
food allowance is SO meagre that it is not
sufficient in itself to keep them alive. The
game is all destroyed, and they must either
be fed by the government or starve. OF the
5000 dogs in the possession of the Indians
at Wolf Point one year ago not one is left
In addition to the dogs many of the horses
have been eaten, and many more have been
traded for food. Women and children are
quaint and hollow eyed from starvation.
Several of them have been found dead be-
tween their lodges and the agency, being SO
reduced by hunger as 10 I've unable to resist
the recently terribly cold weather"
