MT. Ruskln on Americans.

"At small seaside town on the Kentish coast, and in an old fashioned hotel, whose living rooms look di-
 rectly on to a shingly shore, MT. Ruskin is at present staying for the benefit of his health," writes corres-
 pondent of the Boston Transcrtpt.
 "As it is not long ago that unfavora-
 ble reports were circulated, I was agreeably surprised to find him look
 ing as we'll as he does. There was no sign of weakness as he advanced, and with cordiality greeted his visitor. How do 1 like the Americans?' This, in response to question of mine. q did not like them until recently you
 know l lived for long time in the thirteenth century, then'-he laughed heartily for second-T have been ob- liged to leave it and look around me 8 little here. What made me think more of the Americans was because of the Americans I met; perhaps Miss Alexander inclined me-though she has lived so long in Florence that might almost call her a Florentine. She has beautiful and tender char acter. And then,' continued MT. Ruskin, I met and thoroughly en- joyed the society of Dr. Holmes; but my friend is Prof. Charles Eliot Nor ton, a charming man-clever, scien- tific, cultured. Yes, like the Amer jeans now better than I ever did before-such youth, such energy. think of them when am dead and the great energy is resistlessly pushing them forward. Their time is not now, it is in the future. Though admit their progress in science, still they are crude art does not come to new people; it must be built up with a patience and reverence. Some day they will have national school |; now they are crude, and have no more idea or appreciation of work of art, of picture, than the English have.' 9

Fortune Smiled Upon Them.

Every great fortune is conceived with risk and is built upon foun- dation of venture. A reporter of THE TRAvELER, having heard that fortune had bestowed smile upon Miss Augusta Filene, 2037 Archer avenue, Chicago, called upon that lady to ascertain the facts. She was found to be bright and intelligent German girl, in the employ of the Singer Sew ing Machine company. "Yes," she said, when questioned, "I have been rather fortunate. held one- tenth of ticket 73,185, in the Louisiana State Lottery, the drawing of which took place January, 10th, 1885,. and drew 5000. 1 had invested several times before, and just as I was beginning to feel discouraged, I drew prize. The money was paid promptly. I expect to buy "a house for mother and 1 to live in, and you will know how thankful I am when I tell you that am mothers only dependence. 1 will continue to hold my present position"
 The reporter then called upon John Clingen, captain of No. 19, Chicago Fire department. He is frank and good humored gentleman, and seemed to take pleasure in telling the re- porter how one-tenth of ticket No. 79,040, of the Louisiana State Lottery had brought him $l,oOO. q have drawn several small prizes," he said, "and am going to keep on investing. It is just so much made, you see, for I would spend the money some other way and stand no chance of great re- ward. Paid promptly?" he said. "Well, yes-got a check before I thought my letter had reached New Orleans"

 "Eh! Donald, man, is it fou ye arg? or simply tatuous? that ye have been making Merry Andrew of yersep by cuttin' doun yer claithes."
