Endurance Of the Persian "YabOO."

The Persian horse enjoyed a pre-
eminent reputation in ancient times,
and the poets and historians, both
native and Creek, have loudly praised
his fine build and fiery spirit. Butte
day the Persian horse isapoor, much
abused creature, of ungainly shape,
knobby head, pot bellied, and rough
of coat. The natives call him "ya-
boo," meaning a homely old critter.
The amount of work in these ami
mails is simply astounding. For in

thought to be a good days work in
other countries, be made the twenty

Kharzan mountain IL, GOO feet high,
over a rough and rocky path, up and
down, up and down, after climbing
on steep mountain sides and down
monstrous declivities, in three and
and one-half hours. Next morning,
up at 4 o'clock, after luxurious
breakfast of straw and a little barley,
the plucky little beast carried me an
even forty miles to Mendjeel, under g.
broiling sun and over an execrable
path, arriving at our destination be

exhausted on a rug in the chappar

do this, and do ital the days oftheir

Galveston Tex.) News. JULY.
Each of the last two drawings of The
Louisiana State Lottery has left a large
slice of the capital prize in this city,
viz, SIS, 900 in May and $50, 900 in June.
The fortunate winner of the last SIS, 900
was Mr.. George w. Seibert, resident
of Galveston and employed as book
keeper in the auditors Office of the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe railway. Mr..
Seibert held one-twentieth of ticket No.
90, 443 which won the capital prize Of
$500, 900. A News reporter encountered
MI. Seibert Yesterday, and asked him
how he was enjoying his recently ac-
uuired fortune. 81 admit" remarked
he, chat the suddenness with which the
unexpected good luck came somewhat
unnerved me, but think I have now
fully recovered from the shock, which,
by the way, is a very pleasant sort OF
experience, which has to be felt to be
appreciated, as it cannot be properly
described"
ooh, yes; I got the money immedi-
ately by depositing my ticket with Ball,
Hutchings & Co., without even having
to pay any discount or exchange"
at was not my first venture and
doubtless will not be my last with the
Louisiana Lottery. I have been buy
ing tickets for some time, and while l
never regarded it as an Improbable in
vestment, I was not sanguine enough
to expect such good luck as the winning
of q capital prize"
