California He had applied for the posi-
ton, and intended to accept il, but the
President was much surprised the other day

withdrawal of his name. Mr.. Brooks OK
planned that lately he has been very fortu-
nate in land investments, and has made
about Sl,00O,000 He is not, therefore, in
need of the salary of the office, and asked
that the President appoint some one who is.
When Mr.. Cleveland recovered from his
establishment he sent for the list of candi-
dates and selected for the place Mr.. George

Mr.. Buffers Immigration Plan.

The Agricultural Convention, which
meets at Hot Springs, n. c., April 25
promises to be very great success. The
railroads are taking an interest in it, and
several very influential men, among them
Senator Butter, of South Carolina. are
doing what they can to bring it to public
notice. In connection with this convention
Senator Butler has written a letter
that is worth careful consideration. In
it he points out how reliable
information respecting soil, climate and
prices of land in every part of South Caro-
lima can be obtained at very little expense.
OF course his plan is as applicable to other
States as TO South Carolina. He proposes
that the railroad companies shall instruct
their agents at all their stations to gather
from the most Intelligent men in their re-
spective neighborhoods everything that an
immigrant would care to know of the
country.
This plan appears to be good one. Sena-
tor Butler has so much confidence in it
that he expresses his willingness to make
trip through the Northern States and pre-
sent information gained in this manner to
farmers He believes that an excellent
class of immigrants could be secured.
There isn't doubt a great deal of disSatis-
faction exists among Northern farmers.
Many of them are tired of the long winters
which require them to feed their stock from
four to six months every year. They can
not work in their fields more than half
their time, AID they consume during the
idle days of winter what they save during
the busy ones of summer.
The advantages of the South are just be-
ginning to be appreciated, and if the right
kind OF effort were made thousands of
thrifty Northern farmers would seak homes
in the South. What these farmers want is
information about different counties in the
Southern States, and Senator Buffers plan
promises to furnish it in a much more COM
plete and satisfactory shape than any other
that has yet been proposed. 1t is plan
that is well worth testing, and the railroads
would not make a mistake if they should
give it a trial.

LOTTERY PROSPERITY.
1t Seems to be About the Hardest to
Stand That Can Come to Man.

Stand That Can Come to a Man.
From the PailadeIphia Telegraph
PARIS, March 23.-A very absurd story was
recently told to NE respecting the drawing of
the Nice lottery. The first prize $4,000 was
drawn by workman Of the great India-rubber
factory at Langlee, near Montargis, which be-
longs to and is under the direction of Mr. Alex
| ander Hutchinson, formerly of Connecticut, but
Tor many years past resident OF Paris The
lucky prize winner, on coming into possession
of his fortune, Immediately bought himself a
high hat and handsome overcoat. and hired
carriage in which he and his family went driv
ing around the country Up to the present
time the chief acquisition ne owes to his wealth
is q severe attack of dyspepsia, for the form of
Selfindulgence to which he Is inclined is that Of
good eating, and he has tried most of the cele-
brated dishes at the leading restaurants of
Paris, with the result as aforesaid.
But the amusing history connected with the
Nice lottery is told not OF him, but OF less for
tunate ticket holder, who was one of his COM
rades This latter individual was a very ignor-
ant and stupid fellow, thorough type of the
uncultlvated class of the French peasantry. He
could not read, but on hearing that his fellow
workman had won S100.000 he contrved to de-
cipher the numbers on his own ticket, which
bore, as did all those that were issued, an an
nouncement of the grand prize He became
wildly excited and rushed about the village, pro
claiming to everybody that he, too, had won
5OOOOf-it was on his ticket But that is on
every one of the tickets" demonstrated mis-
friends. He would not listen-everybody was
trying TO cheat him, he declared, and he must
find out how TO get his prize paid over to him.
Take your ticket to the Mayor of Montargis"
was the advice he received, land he will tell
you what to do"
That was all very well, but how was he to CON
vey his ticket to NOntargis? for, when he first
bought it, fearing that it would get lost, he had
pasted it on the door of his COW house and could
not contrve to detach it. So finally he took the
door off its hinges, hosted it upon his back, and
marched with it into Montargis, di stance of
. " m a crowd
composed of all the rabble and all the small
boys of Langee. The Mayor could only give
the poor fellow the same information as had al
ready been impaired to him by his comrades
namely, that his ticket was worthless; and so
he was forced to carry his door all the way back
home again.

Checking Runanism.

The sentences imposed upon George
Keckley and Louis Kruse by Judge Adams
are not too severe. They were convicted OF
having made brutal and unprovoked as
sault upon a man who was so weak from
illness that it was with difficulty that he
was able to attend to his regular duties.
He was not in a condition to defend him
self against one man, much less
two. The testimony was that his
assailants would have killed him, in all
probability, if a citizen had not appeared
upon the scene of the assault in time to pre-
vent them. When they have spent twelve
months in the chain-gang they will have
concluded, doubtless, that to brutally as
sault peaceable citizens is neither safe nor
a wise thing to do.
Judge Adams and the Solicitor General
and his assistants are doing a good work
They are making the roughs and rufians
understand that they cannot give full
swing to their brutal natures in this city.
The swift and heavy punishment
which has been inflicted upon
some of them for crimes
of which they have been convicted is hav-
ing an excellent effect. There is decrease
in the number of crimes of violence which
is both noticeable and gratifying. The
roughs don't take as much delight in boast
ing of their brutal deeds as they once did,
and are not the heroes they once were in the
eyes of their associates. The chain gang and
the penitentiary have come to be regarded
as such near possibilities as to have a very
quieting effect upon them.
The people are quick to see faithful and
intelligent service on the part of their off
cials, and though they may not be as
prompt to show their appreciation of it as
they might be, they seldom forget it.

Slugger Sullivan's friends, Phillips and
Barnett, have come home, and announce
that the slugger will sail tomorrow. They
are very glib in giving reasons why Sulli-
van did not win in that celebrated foot race
with Mitchell, and assert that Americans
have no chance of getting justice in Europe.
The slugger, they say, will make tour of
this country and will be open to engage
ments with any one in the world 1t might
be well for him to give up his cups before
he attempts to re-establish himself as the

Mr. Nat Q. Henderson is a Texan with a
stentorian voice who holds House door
keepership in Washington. and the deadlock
over the direct tax bill may be the means
of bringing him promotion and an increase
of salary. The dilatory motions EN- ployed
by the filibusters require repeated calling
of the roll, and as each roll call means the
utterance of 325 names, the exhausting
effect upon the clerks may be understood.
Two or three days were sufficient to wear
out the regular clerks, and Gen. Clark was
in despair when Congressman Grain, of
Texas, came to the rescue by suggesting
that Henderson be brought into service.
The suggestion was adopted, and when the

II cas quite long speech for John Ora,

The mill owner roSe to his feet with a

The little office clock licked its loudest to
break the silence until tho door opened to lot
in the returning committee. What could 1t
mean? Mr.. Breton stood with his back
turned to them. drumming on tho window
pane, while Philip, pale and uncomfortable,
looked nervously at his father and then at
tho three awkward figures in the doorway,
with tho breathlcss servant girl behind them
waiting for startling Developments.
"You can report to your meeting" said
Mr.. Breton in a constrained voice, without
facing tho wori.men, ''that my son will put

is ALL"
The men were astonished. So tho young
mill owners son had begun to redeem his
promise of the night Of tho lrc. There were
rough words of gratitude On their lips. their
hearts were in glow, after tho FIRST chill oi
disappointment. but there was an influence
