Ten Thouaand Dollars for ca'roi.es.

Cairo tIll.) Bulletin. August Sath.
 MT. Fred Sticher, the we'll known and popular barber at l,S05 Commer- cial avenue, who drew 5000 in the Louisiana State Lottery on the 18th instant, Is receiving endless congratu- lations from his many friends and the lucky barber feels considerable cause for oongratulation himself. A Bvlle- tia reporter found MT. Sticher at his place of busness and questioned him in regard to the winning ticket No. 85, ,332 which drew one- twentieth of the second capital prize of Sl00 900.
 MT. Sticher said "I have been playing in the Louisiana State Lot tery for four or five years, investing s2 in tickets each month. Have al- ways been satisfied with the result of my investment of my money, for I've drawn numerous small prizes at vari- ous times, once ticket held was good for $50. I believe this lottery to be a square deal, as I have never had the least trouble about collecting prizes the money always came to hand at once. The scheme is a fair one beyond doubt.
 "My $5,0O0 prize arrived last Mon- day through the Alexander County bank. With $5 off for exchange and $i for the ticket, have a total return oi q 994, which now Is on deposit to my credit at the bank. The other one-twentieth of same ticket, owned by the club of ten, Messrs. Laycock, McCarty, Shafter, Nsgle, Meehan, Brown, Morrow, Moorehead and oth- CTS, threw $500 each into the hands of deserving men, who will put it to good use.
 "I will invest my money in real estate, perhaps, or let some one do 1t for me.
 "Of course I shall continue to play the lottery. do not intend to break 1t, but will contribute my dollar reg ulArly as before to that institution"
 And the reporter left Mir. Sticher in excellent good humor over his good luck.

HOW IRON CHAINS ARE MADE.
Pittsburr DIsnatch.

Ptttsburg Dispatch.
 The first operation Is the making of the links. The material comes in coils, each containing from eighty to one hundred and twenty feet of round iron rod, which is Of uniform diameter and of various sizes, corresponding to the different styles of chains.
 A piece of this wire is placed in the groove of a powerful machine, the wheel Is started, a twisting motion imparted, and the iron comes forth in & spiral roll, looking as the outer strand of rope might If separated from the component parts.
 The groove into which the iron Is pressed, and spindle-like arrangement about which the coil is formed, make the coil exactly uniform throughout, the links being the same distance apart, and of the same size. The machine does its work rapidly; but little time is consumed in converting the eighty or more feet of rod into shape for chain links.
 The next step in the manufacture of chain Is the cutting of the links. The spiral coil goes from the hands of the first workman to another who places 1t in long sheet iron trough, suspended as high as a mans head, one end being considerably lower than the other.
 One end of the coil is then submitted to the operation of the cutting ma chine, which at 6 single blow strikes off enough of 1t for 6 chain link. The machine Is regular and rapid in its motion. The workman has only to hold the iron in position, and from two hundred to two hundred and seventy five links are cut every min- ute. They drop into spout, and roll therefrom into 6 small cart, which is hauled away when full to the welding department.
 So far all the work has been done without the agency of heat, but the chain cannot be completed without the agency of fire. The final operation is welding the links together. Stand ing beside furnace in which . hot natural gas is blazing, the workman seizes a piece of the white-hot metal with his tongs, places 1t on a die, and putting his foot on . treadle causes Q spring hammer to descend, giving shape to the link.
 Two more turns and two more blows of the hammer and the link Is com- pletely formed and welded together. Another piece Is then taken from the ire. and the open end deftly slipped around the link just formed. It il then operated upon just as the hrst link was another is added, then sn- other; the chain is growing rapidly- % fAst, indeed, that two feet or more

HE KNEW RANDALL WELL.

Yesterday afternoon while the Sun
dry Civil bill was under consideration,
an elderly gentleman, quick in his move
ments and with the manners Of our fBth- =
ers, went to the east entrance of the hall
OF the House and requested one of the
doorkeepers to take his card to Mr.. Ran
dali. The doorkeeper took the card, but
said .as
II will take the card in for you If you
insist upon it, but can tell you in ad-
vance that Mr.. Randall will not come
out. He is in charge OF the Sundry
Civil bill, and know he will not leave
the floor"
That's all right said the visitor.
HE will come out when he sees that
card, no matter what bill is under con-
sideration."
"You may think 80, replied the door
keeper "but when Mr.. Randall has an
appropriation bill under consideration he
would not leave the floor Of the House
should the President of the United States
send In his card"
"l'll bet you IS 10 one cent that he

said the old gentleman, confidently.
The stranger pulled out a IS bill from
an impressive looking wad and the door
keeper covered" it with a copper cent.
The stakes were put up in the hands of
another doorkeeper, and the card was
sent in. The curious wager attracted
the attention Of several of the bystand
ers, and a good many side bets might
have been made on the result, but about
four seconds later the big form Of Ran
dali came bullying through the door, and.
holding out his hand to the stranger, he
said
How are you, John ?"
Pretty well, Sam. Are you in hur-
ryI'
Eyes, l am. John" replied the chair
man Of the appropriation committee,
"but il you will come around to the
committee room in half an hour I'll talk
to you the rest OF the afternoon"
ALI right, SAM" said the stranger,
and he reached over for the stakes, which
the doorkeeper duly paid.
The stranger was John Hastings, the
Punxsutawney postmaster, spoken OF in
recent gossip. He and Randall had been
close personal friends for forty years,
