Hit It Both WAYS.

Matthew Stetfens is Chicago police
man who has had a streak Of luck.
Many a dav, when the mercury ran
low, has Matthew shivered on State
and Harrison streets and contemplated
the unhappiness of the policeman's lot
One cold night last month an idea
flashed forth upon his inner consc GUS
ness and grew upon him as he trod the
ice along this weary beat, impelling him
almost against his will to WOO the tickle
goddess of Fortune.
And so he took two dollars of his
hard-earned wealth and bought two
tickets, each but tenth coupon, in the
lottery whose monthly drawings are
overseen by those two eX-COnfederate
warriors, Beauregard and Early. And
when on the 9TH of February the draw
ing occurred it TRANSFERRED that Mat
thews presentiment was a tip from his
GOOD angel, for one of his tickets was
q tenth of No. II, $50. which drew the
first capital prize of $3.50, 900 while the
other drew tenth of a prize OF SlOO.
The latter wasn't much but it showed
the fellows luck.
A Traveller reporter dropped in at
the HarrsOn-St. station day or TWO
AGO Just for the sake of seeing how
such a lucky man might look, but Stet-
fens was gone. He had got his $l5, 600
bouoht a saloon on State street, anC
taken train to the Hot Springs OF AT
kansaw to thaw out the cold accumu
lated during the recent blizzard; Cieri
Daniel Hogan was on hand, and sa q III
saw the SIS, 900 when it came, on Feb
ruary 18th, all in $500 bills in a South
ern Express envelope, from the Louis
lana State Lottery.
Mr.. Steffens will return to Chicag
in few days. when his many friend
will have chance to congratulate hin
At his saloon, at No. $50 State street
He is now on leave Of absence. bu
upon his return he will send IN n
resignation as police officer, and wit
such a comfortable little fortune as ma
thus come to him, like a gift from IN
Gods. he can take life easy, and neVe
shiyer on q beat again.

PRINCES PIPES.
Great Smokers in the Royal FAMILY
The Crown Princes Loss.

Oreat smokers in the Royal FamfIv
The Crown Princes Loss.
One of the greatest deprivations
which the crown prince has had 10 en-.
dure is the loss Of his pipe. ''Unser
Fritz was always great smoker. and
he dearly loved to blow a cloud from
big-bowled wooden pipe, which the
princess royal carried for him with her
own fair hands. The crown princes
unlike Mrs. Carlyle-has ALWAYS en-
couraged her husband to stay at
home.
The man who smokes at home and
whose wife does not object to the smell
Of tobacco has the pathway of domes-
tic happiness rolled and made smooth
for him, Half the misery of married
life has its origin in The lady turning up
her nose at the smell of a cigar. The
crown princess has never made this
mistake, and so many pleasant even
ings has she spent with her husband at
home, she doing her needle-work or
reading aloud, and he smok ng his
long pipe and feeling beautifully COM
Portable and lazy and snug
Of late the poor prince has
had his pipe taken out of his
mouth. His ailment has literal
" put his pipe out. Not on
" must he not smoke mself but he
can not breathe the air that is impreg-
mated with tobacco, and SO his sons
when they come to see him have to
smoke out of doors. 1t is to this fact
that San Reno at one time mustered
among it's attractions a royal prince
with briar-root pipe perpetually in his
mouth. Prince Henry, the crown
princes second son, smokes his pipe in
the English fashion, and smokes j
morning. noon, and night. You coulC
meet him when he was at San Reno
strowling after breakfast with well
colored English short clay or Guilty. II
the afternoon he made just this sacrifice
to fashion-he changed the clao for
briar-rOOt
1t is related of him in San Reno that
going to church one Sunday afternoon
he started with his prayer-book undo
his arm and his briar-rOOt we'll align
in his mouth. A young English frlcn
of his, who was staying at San Keno
ventured on mild remonstrance. m

A Bloody ARRAY

is often the result of "bad blood" in a family
or community, but nowhere is bad blood so
destructive of happiness and health than in
the human system. When the life current Is
foul and sluggish with impurities, and is slow
" distributing its pOsOns to every part OF the
body, the peril to health and life even, is i'm
minent. EarIy symptoms are dull and droWsy
feelings, severe headaches, coated tongue,
poor appetite, indigestion and general lassi-
tude. Delay in treatment NAV entail the
most serious consequences. Don't let disease
get a strong hold on your constitution, but
treat yourself by using DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and be restored TO the
blessings of health. All druggists.

Sir-There is a subject which ] wish to
agitate through the columns OF your valu-
able paper, knowing that you are an advo-
cate Of all honest enterprises. There is a
widespread objection to the cotton con-
denser now attached to all steam gins, |
would like to get the experience OF those
who have used them, and | know there
are many such in the vicinity Of Memphis.
There is, too, a widespread objection to
the long lint-room attached TO all horse
power gins, from the fact that the first
lint is always put in for the sample, which
is no more nor less than false packing, for
the whole bale will not come up TO the
sample On the other hand, the cotton
ginned through the condenser IL the same
all through the bale, and can be sampled
from either side. The cotton is always
ginned before it reaches the condenser,
and Of course IL has nothing TO do with the
staple or quality Of the cotton. Now,
when a ginner gets barrel Of flour from
your city and finds il plated, he
cries, "Thiefw but forgets all about II

Entering the Earth's Shadow.
The eclipses this year number five. three
Of the Sun and two Of the moon. A total
eclipse Of the moon occurred January %,
visible to the world generally, except to
the Pacific ocean. The total eclipse en-
tered the shadow at 4:20 am, and left it
at sos am. The next was a partial eclipse
Of the sun, February, invisible to the
United States, but visible to the southern
Indian ocean. Another partial eclipse OF
the sun occurred July 0, also invisible ex-
cept to the southern Indian ocean. The
total eclipse OF the moon last night, July
90, 90, was visible toa large part OF the
world except eastern Europe and Asia.
The moon entered the shadow at 9;54,
the total eclipse beginning at 1880 pm,
middle of eslipse, ll:40 pm, and ending
at l230a. m. When half way across the face
of the moon, the earth's shadow presented
dark brown appearance, the lines being
clear cut and the moon being particularly
bright and beautiful during the progress
OF the observation. The moon left the
shadow at l:34 o'clock a. m. and left the
penumbra at 2:32 o'clock am. 1t was a
clear, beautiful night, just suited to the
celestial exhibition, which was witnessed
by many people who remembered the
