He Got His Money Promptly.

AS stated in this paper at the time, Mr..
Jamie Rhodes of Eufaula, Ala, held ticket
No. 46. 755 in the October Drawing of tho
Louisiana State Lottery, for which he paid
81. 1t proved to BIO lucky ticket, for it
drew the capital prize Of 100000 and en-
titled Mr.. Rhodes to one-twentieth of that
amount, or $4,000. II the ticket had been
a whole one, for which MIR. Rhodes had
paid $50, he would have received the whole
100000 On inquiry, Mr.. Rhodes found
that he held the right number and forward
cd his ticket by express, for collection Of his
prize. 1t was promptly cashed in bank at
New Orleans, and the money was duly re-
ceived by Mr.. Rhodes in another day or
two, and it is now on deposit TO his credit in
the John McNab bank of this city. Mr..
Rhodes is n most worthy young man Of
about 81 years, and of moderate means, and
but recently entered the mercantile business
here in company with his brother-in-law,
Mr.. Ed. T. Long. While his big luck was
very gratifying, it did not daze or unnerve
him, but he took it In a quiet and business
like way, and he will handle the money
with care and good Judgment, as it gives
him fine start in business life. For thirty
years his father, Mr.. Chauncy Rhodes, has
been cashier of the John McNab bank, in
Eufaula, and no man in Alabama is thought
more of by his frieods and those who know
him.-EtVduld (Ald.) Times, Oct. 20.

DIR. Henry E. Shepherd, president of the
College of Charleston, has Written as fol-
lows to the Sunday NetOs in regard to the
Sackville incident, which has caused so
much discussion in political and diplomatic
circles: The recent diplomatic complica-
tions at Washington has suggestion to me
that possibly Lord Sackville is a successor
of the famous Thomas Sackville, lord of
Buckhurst and Dorset, author of 1.-THE In
ductiol of the Mirror for Magistrates, and
principal author of the first regular tragedy
in the English language, "Gorboduc, or
Ferrex and Porrexn Strange to say the
tragedy had a diplomatic moral, well
known to students of our political and
literary history. Thomas Sackyille at an
early age abandoned literature, and gave
up to party what was meant for mankind {"
He was one Of the commission that tried
Mary, Queen Of Scots, and one of the spe-
cial committee who announced to her the
finding of the court. He was also a mem
Ter of James |. s council, and died while in
attendance upon one of its sessions-l6OS.
