to travel for a year or two. After having

The Panama Card Lottery

Luck has fallen in the wav of
NJ. LhGranlD, a tailor, OF the Rue
dAutin, PARIS, who is ann ounced as
the winner Of the biggest prize in the
recent quarterly shotfl ne of cards in
the Panama pack, BY this drawing
OF the lottery, which NJ. de Lesseps
hoated after iumeuse opposition, NJ
LhGrault, who is by no means a rich
man, will be the recipient Of a windfall
of 5000, 900 francs, or G2O, 600. For
months to come This member Of the
saltorial confraternity, whom tickle
fortune has thus favoured, will be the
wonder, the admiration, aud the
envy of thousands of fellow citi-
zenS, from the 2ebt-loaded dandy
who trpquents the nipots in the hope
of "a lucky turn at baccarat, or trente
ct q%uarante, to the dingy duStman,
who trusts, like Felix Pyat's cbif6njcr,
TO find some" day among the rubbish
a basketful OF bank-notes. He is al
ready the talk Of Paris. Unlike AL
Iamacher, the Versailles printer, whose
American legacy is still in the clouds,
NJ. Lk6rault has really and truly won
the "gros lot" which, although it
does not make him - millionaire, as
sures to him handsome Independence.
The tailor and a partner own a mod
est shop, and he is still a young un-
married man of twenty.four. He had
ten shares in the Panama lottery, and
when an accountantOt theCr6ditLyon-
nais, where the securities were deposit
ed, walked intothe tailor'sshop yester-
day and informed him Of his good
luck NJ. LhGrault was as unm0yed as
if he were a follower Of Zeno, the la
mented founder of the Society of
Stoics. Since the news OF the %tailor's
luck has been disseminated at home
and abroad he has been inundated,
like AlIamacher, with letters contain
ing the usual offers from females, both
serious and frivolous, from steady and
senguine ~inanciers, inventors, pateD-
lees and charlatans. Many calls
have also been made on the Panama

wish IN have ocular testimony as TO
The actual existence of the lavourIte
of fortune, for it has been the fashion

veyors of "faits divers" to evolve le-

Details of the death of Major
BarttelOt.
ST.. PAUL DE L ANDE, Oct. Is.

received from EIaIlley ans ny 'H6
Governor-G General at Bona. The
report is dated Aug. /, and is sub
stantiaIly as follows;
On July % at noon, while the
officers were lunchirg, Tippoo lib
arrived in a very much excited and
agitated state. tie had just heard of
the assassination OF Major BartteIot
by his Manyema carriers, some hours
journey beyond Nurenia ON the
Aruwhimi.
On August 1st Mr.. jameson ar
rived in a small boat at the Falls,
having come TO confer with Tippoo
lib, and to make known the details
of the disaster. The following is the
account given of how Major BartleIot
came by his death.
I he Manyema natives have a habit
of beating drums and singing late in
the evening and early in the morning,
and there was no meauS Of preventing
them from continuing this practice.
Major BarttpIot, who had made
several days journey with his caravan
of 400 men into the interior, OBJ
iectcd very strongly 10 This noise,
and even used IhreatS in hope OF
stopping it.. Nevertheless, ON July
19, at four in the morning, the
drumming began, whereupon Ma
jor Bartlelot became very angry,
and went out of the hut, which he
occupied in common with Mr.. Bonny.
In spite of the advice of HE latter,
Major Barttelot said he would slop
the drumming, and went to the hut of
the man who was beating the Grum.
He rad scarcely reached it when sud
denly a shot was heard. Mr.. Bonny
ran out, and saw all the people IN the
camp rushing about, and crying,
"M'Zonngou Kutna" (the white mar
is dead, Mr.. Bonny made a search in
all directions, and found the body of
Major BartteIot lying in front of the
0rummers' hut, the breast pierced by
a bullet. The clothes showed marks
of burning with gunpowder. The
following day Mr.. Jameson, who was
with the advanced guard, was inform
ed of what had happened, and he
arrived back in the camp and restored
a little order. All the men forming
the caravan had, however, dispersed,
and all the loads OF beads and stufs
had been stolen.
Nj. Jameson, who has since died OF
fever at BangaIas, returned to the
Aruwhimi camp with the debris of the
caravan, and then came on to Stanley
Falls 10 make arrangements with
'Tippoo lib. lie left Mr.. Bonny with
such of the men as had been caught
and all the provisions which he had
saved at the Aruwhimi camp.
The official report goes on to say
that there is no doubt of Tippoo Tbs
good faith. Major BartteIot on seve-
rnl occasions when he came to Stanley
Falls Station was warned by the
officers there, as well as by Iippoo
Tib, to treat the men of the caravan
with ieuiency and not to resort to
flogging. In continuation the report

Fire Last Night.

Last night, at about 10 O'Clock, the light
from a fire was seen from this city, in the
direction of Cumberland Mills, and judging
from the size of the blaze it was thought to
be building of some kind. AT about mid
night IA PRESS reporter left the city to as
certain what was burning, and investigation
showed that the blaze came from burning
brush and wood by the side of the Portland
& Ogdensburg railroad, just this side of
Cumberland Mills. When the reporter ar
rived at the place of the fire, a large tract of
ground had been burned over, and the
flames rose high in the air from the growth
beside the track. The fire was probably
caused by spark from passing locomo-
tive. and no effort was made to extinguish it.

Daniel Sully, the comedian, whose name is

measure, Ia his development of a type of
Irish character that had been without a
stage exponent until his appearance. He
possesses in a large degree that quality
which, for want of better name, is called
personal magnetism, and his ability to trans
port an audience from rollicking laughter to
sympathetic Tears is gift possessed by few
actors, though courted by all In DADDY
