1t Looks Like Village ut Night,

A Utica special to The New York
World says: Jacob Sharp's farm lies
about three miles outside of Rome. The
present occupant OF the farm is MI.
Sharp's daughter-in-law. The estate
comprises i. 500 acres of land, of which
every inch is inclosed by iron fencing.
A. drive over the place shows careful
attention to every detail of manage
ment -Four men and two women con-
stitute the help on the place. A gas
engine supplies light for the entire
farm. Numerous lampposts scattered
here and there convey the idea that the
place Mt night was n village itself
There is well-built and clean barn for
each class of animals.
The weather-vanes on the roof inh-
cate the particular breed of stock; thus
one vane is roster, another is Il

In the COW barn Mr.. Sharp has twenty
five fne-looking calves. There were

Fortunate rlokes Holders.

Some three or four months ago a
party working in the lumber camp of
VIM. Coach, on the Sturgeon river,
dubbed together and ordered 81 tenth
tickets in The Louisiana State Lottery.
The money was sent by express and
not with the order. When the order
arrived at New Orleans. the money
not being found, it was laid aside and
afterwards lost. When the money ar
rived it was charged on the books, but
the order having been forgotten, no
tickets were sent. EARLY in February
Mr.. Coach, while in Now Orleans, took
the opportunity to inquire after the
the missing money. and the matter
was promptly explained by the COM
pany and the money offered him. This
Mr.. Coach declined to accept. but took
tickets instead. among them being a
tenth Of ticket No. 71,575. AS is now
well known here. this ticket drew the
first capital prize of 100000, in the
drawing of the 7th !ult., giving to the
fortunate possessers the handsome sum
of $4,000 to be divided among them.
Mr.. Coach, to whose foresight they
are indebted for their good fortune,
has taken charge of the matter, and 1t
will be divided among them in proper
ton to the amount invested
There were sixteen in the club. the
tickets being sent to Geo. j. johnson,
of Baraga, one OF the number. Three
of the holders were of one family, be-
ing John Bodwein, his son and child.
MIR. Bodwein thus secures good share
of the prize. Mr.. Coach negotiated the
purchase of house for him this week
in Baraga, and he has commenced the
erection of another house upon the lots.
The money is going to do good in each

Society in Hong Kong.

When the novelty of the first i'm
pressions stranger receives in Hong
Kong has worn off (says The Chinese
7fnies), and the social condition of the
colony comes into view, succession
of new phenomena attracts the visit
or's attention, A miniature court with
amplitude of gold lace; toy parlia-
ment in a strait jacket; a kind of work
ing model of modern society, with all
its little attributes of jealously, de-
sire of pre-eminence, scandal, and
the rest; the kind of harmless ambition
of which provincial mayors are made
up upon which rewards its votaries
with the title of honorable (for do
mestic use only)-all these and many
other phases of life in nutshell amuse
the intelligent stranger for a week, and
confirm his impression that man every
where walketh in vain show. The
grandest feature about the island col
ony, however, is its commercial import
ance. Here, at least, there is no pre-
tense and no sham. OF course, the
value of the shipping to Hong Kong is
something different from what it is in
the port of great country. Hong
Kong is a port without country, n
mere wayside station; the vessels which
carry its commerce do not remain long
enough to enrich the community by
their expenditure. All deductions made,
however. there remains to the colony a
quite surprising amount of prosperity
derived from its maritime convenience.
The commercial community has always
been a go-ahead one, inspired by the
apparent though mostly Fictitious i'm
portance of their position; they have
Matched from time to time the most
ambitious enterprises, most of which
have succeeded marvelously. The
striking feature, specifically speaking.
of all these large commercial and in
dustrial concerns is their magnitude in
relation to the real resources of the
place. There are dock companies.
sugar companies, insurance companies,
go-down companies, steamboat COM
panies. and banks enough to satisfy the
requirements of country OF at least a
million of inhabitants. and they have
to be administered by loss than a dozen
people. The natural result is an odd
interlacing of indlvidualities, like the
roots of the banyan. until the separate
entities of the various Institutions are
apt to be lost sight of. Take Il Hong
Kong directory. and see how the scan
ty elgibilities are made to do double.
aye treble, and even quiatuple duty.
Tho dock directors are Messrs. Brown,
Jones, Schneider and Mordecai; Brown
being chairman. The insurance COM
pany has Jones' Schneider. Mordecai,
and Brown; Jones being chairman.
The bank has Schneider, Mordeoai,
Brown. and Jones. Colonial politics
are interesting in their way, mainly in
connection with the treatment of the
Chinese population and their education
in political thought. A most striking
thing was manifested last summer IN
connection with the queens jubilee,
and that was that the handful of Eng
lishmen could by no means agree on
any plan for celebrating the day;
| whereas the mass of Chinese were
prompt and practical in their decision.
and were prepared to honor the occa-
| sion by substantial memorial of their
| loyalty.

Happy Homes.

Much has bcenwritten about how to make
happy homes. The moralist and the preach
er have hackneyed this theme until it
said. But the philosophers have gone far
out on their way to account for the prevail
ence of ill.assorted couples and unhappy
homes, and have overlooked the chief
cause. Mostof the unhappiness of mar
ried life can be traced directly to those
functional arrangements to which women
are subject. In nine cases out of ten the
irritable. dissatisfied and unhappy wife is a
sufferer from some 'female complaint" A
