The agent, however, begged the privilege

granted it-but more to ohlige the agent

That Is thought Of Lotteries
IN Jamaica

One of the lamest excuses we have
heard advanced by the advocates Of
the illegal lotteries, which annually
takes place in this city, is that the
people have so few amusements, and
that this is one Of the most harmless
amusements they can engage in. BY
the same line OF reasoning there vas
no harm in the roulette table used
under the grand stand at The Race
Course, yet hat was prohibited. In
the one case as the other, persons
stake their money on IL chance, and
we fail to see the difference between
a roulette table and the so called
wheel of fortune, except, if anything,
hat the former, which has been pro
hibitcd az "gambling" is the most
honest Of the two. But if it be true
that lotteries are an amusement to the
people, then they are amuSements Of
n pernicious and demoraIizing nature,
which should be stopped. II they
were 50 good and harmless in their
nature, why is it that the authorities
in England put them down and pass
ed such stringent laws for their pre-
vcntion? Doubtless it is a very pro
fitable source Of enjoyment to those
who manipulate them, aud they will
probably resort to every subtcIin4e
to eyado the law if those responsible
for its enforcement should require
them to obey it., but still we submit
that is no Justification tor permitting
its open violation. The encourage
ment of such "harmlcss" amuSemcnts
fosters a taste for gambling in the
youthful mind, yet when those youths
grow to manhood and become gam
blers, people who are indirectly re,
sponsiblc for the result raise their
hands in holy horror and say chow
shocking." W. are perfectly certain
His I+xcellency would regard with
anything but favour a young man
who is in every respect eligible for
appointment to a public position, but
was known to him to gamble, and
yet the habit may have been foslered
simply from the encouragement OF
Harmless lotteries in which in his
y3ath he annually took his chances.
We unhesitati::g!y assert that lie
lotteries carried ON annually here are
a crying shame and disgrace to Inc
city, and should be prohibited regard
less of the persons who get them up
or the object sought to be accomplish
ed by the receivers of the %lIl-gotttn
gains.-GLeaner.

FARM AND FIREsIDE.

Early lambs arc considered By
many sheep men the most profitable
source of income from the fiocks.
-Slapjacks: One quart of milk, one
pint of Indian meal, seven spoonfuls of
flour, a little salt, four eggs; beat the
eggs light; add milk, flour and meal,
and bake on griddle or spider" Eat

Every farmer who has tried it knows
that work can be accomplished in much
less time if it has been carefully planned
beforehand. When you go into field
to work. know Just what you want to
do, then do it.-Prairie Farmer.
"A Polish dish: Cut in very small
pieces any sort of baked or roast meat
(veal. mutton or beeD, add soft-boiled
eggs and finely minced onion. lettuce,
or endive. Mix all thoroughly with 3
dressing of oil, vinegar, mustard and

cups of flour. one and half teaspoon
fuls of baking powder. one cup of the
meats of any kind of nuts, stirred in

All fowls that feather slowly are
usually hardy. For instance, the Brah-
mas. 1t is owing to the fact that the
drain on the system occasioned by
quick feathering does not weaken them.
Slow feathering, while growing, is in
dicative of hardness Rural NeW

and little salt; dip il this slices OF
bread Gf dry let it soak a minute) and
fry on a buttered griddle until it is a
light brown on each side. This is a
good way to use up dry bread.-House-
hold.
The Indian method of planting
corn was to make a conical hillOck, in
the top of which the corn was placed,
and being used for the same purpose,
these hills became so hard that they
have, in some old fields, lasted till to-
day. In some places in Michigan a
heavy growth OF maple has sprung up
since, and yet the old cornhills are
clearly marked.
The slowing away of winter clothes
is one of the most fatiguing of all home
events. Take the early morning hours
to the work. and have the clothes-line
put up in the yard to make the work
easier of beating and inspection. The
spots show out in the sun, and wher-
ever there is spot that looks like

Mild Methods.
Horses-and the Same may be said
Of every: sort of farm animal-are best
controlled by mild methods. Coercion.
and every description of arbitrary
treatment provokes suspicion, and
calls up whatever of stubbornness the
animal may have within him. tits the
part of wisdom to overlook triiing
faults, rather than to magnify shem,
using the whip to make ill-temper and
undue Impotence more keenly felt.
The most unintelligent cur gives evil
dence of being ashamed after doing a
wrong thing. Does any one think that
the horse is not equal to the cur in
astuteness? If the horse is capable of
feeling sense of shame for any act his
master may disapprove of, does not
this imply that he has a perception of
justice-can distinguish between right
and wrong? If this be SO, then he
takes cognizance of unjust treatment
at the hands of his master, and can he
be Justly censured for resisting and re-
taliating when abused? Taking men
upon the doctrine they usually stand
upon, the horse is, at best, only an I'M
reasoning animal; hence, if at all re-
spOusible for his acts. not nearly so
much so as the exactiOns of some
would make him out to be.-National

GOETHE'S DESCENDANTS.

Only Coliaterally.

The Great German Poet Represented
Only CoIiateral!y.
The extinction of the direct descend
ants of men of genius within 4 few
generations after their own demise has
occurred so freGuently-we might
almost say habitually-that no one will
have been surprised at the announce
ment we published yesterday that
already the great German poet. johann
Wo!fgang Goethe, is, even now, repre-
scented only collaterallv. His last re.
naming grandchild, Walter Wolfgana
Won Goethe. Cham berlain to the Grand
Duke of Weimar, died on Thursday al
Lcipsic. Goethe himself lived to an ex-
ceptiona!ly ripe old age, and though
iifiy-one years Of his life belonged to
the eighteenth century, more than
thirty of them were passed in the nine
teenth. Thus he was contemporary
of Byron and Shelley. whom he
survived, and of Scott, Words
worth, Keats. and other English
literary celebrities, whom most of
us regard as moderns. Yet the line
of descent from him is now broken for
ever: Walter Won Goethe's sister having
died forty years ago, and his brother
having passed away quite recently. No
one looks for the perpetnation of genius
in any family. for genius seems to re-
semble that fablei plant that kills it
self by towering. But when we con
slider the practical nature of Goethe's
understanding. and the rare advantages
necessarily enjoyed by his offspring b.
reason of their kinship with him, we
may feel surprised that they have been
so utterly wanting in distinction.
Goethe had many children, but it was
his lot to lose some of them in his life
time, and while they were of tender
years. The son that grew up to man
hood, and upon whom SO many hopes.
doomed to disappointment, were built,
sleeps in the Protestant cemetery at
Rome. The popular English concep-
ton of Goethe is of man utterly irreg-
ular in his emotional ties. But a more
accurate acquaintance with his life en-
ables us to perceive that he had the
strongest domestic affections. and led in
many respects peculiarly. sober. do
nestle life. He had made the condi-
tons of his home difficult by selecting
for the partner of his lot a woman much
below him in station and education,
and she was the mother of several of
his children before she became his WIFE
But acting in this matter. as in others.
upon his favorite motto, .'unresting.

worthy person recognized not only BY
the pigtail society of Weimar. but even
