Bay City (Mich.) Press, Jan. 81.
In an interview with VIM. J. Smith,
who was the holder of one-twentieth
of ticket No. $3.50, which drew the
capital prize of 100000 at the draw
ing of the Louisiana State Lottery OF
the 18th inst, he stated that when on
the 10th he found himself to be the
winner of $4,000 he Immediately
placed his ticket in the Second Ma
tional bank for collection. In eight
days the money was subject to his
order at the same bank, the remit
lance having been made by New York
drafts, a portion of the amount he
drew and placed on deposit in differ
emit banks.
Mr.. Smith came to Bay City some
eight years ago, during which time he
has been engaged in different branches
of business. At the present time he
is ianitor of the Phoenix block, the
largest and handsomest building in the
city. Mr.. Smith is "a years of age,
married and the father of two bright
boys. A year ago last April he COM
menced investing one dollar each
month in the Louisiana State Lottery
and has regularly done so with the
above result.

He was neatly dressed young man,

vIe1oria,s HOOP skirt

The following anecdote is told to
illustrate the readiness with which Par
isian fashions are adopted, even by the
most rigidly patriotic of princesses.
At the epoch OF the arrival Of Queen
Victoria in Paris in 1855, on visit to the
emperor and empress, the latter had
inst brought hooped skirts into vogue.
The queen forthwith sent off n messen-
ger TO purchase one for her, and on the
next approach before her imperial host
and hostess her skirts were expanded
into the new and fashionable amplitude:
But her majesty had not comprehended
the necessary method of tying the tapes
that held the hoops in place, and, contin-
ues the Philadelphia Chronicle cores
pondent, her crinoline presented an ex-
traordinary and shapeless aspect. 1t
was the emperor himself who, with his
own imperial hand, set the rebellious
peticoat to rights, aud gave to his royal
guest lesson as to the proper method
Of DOMINIC the new fashioned adjunct
OF feminine costume.

An Eyactinp Girl.

There is a student in Yale College
who doesn't admire a certain young
lady as much as he did week or SO
ago. With her he assayed to pass a
certain afternoon at Lake Whitney a
few days ago. Both skated around
and had lots of fun for few hours, but
there came an end to the pleasures, for
suddenly, as the twain were executing
fancy movement, the treacherous ice
gave way and the collegian and his
girl were in the water. 1t was quite
deep, and the student sank. He soon
came up, however, and found the girl
struggling at the top of the water, as
her skirts had kept her aAoat. There
was quite large space OF open water,
but the student bravely rescued the
maiden by pushing her toward the
edge OF the ice, where others placed
her on her feet. He was about to
crawl out in her wake when this New
Haven girl, with remarkable presence
of mind, remarked: "Oh! will you
please go back and get my muff?" The
student remained in the chilly water
long enough to secure the article and
then joined the girl, but it is safe to
say he'll not risk any more adventures
with such an exacting girl-this winter
at least.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

OUR ROBIN.
CHAPTER l (CoNT1NUED).

SI1hI LEN L tSoN llNU J.
While l am laughing at the Diet er
mined and even aggressive way in
which this announcement is made,
there comes a loud ring at the hall
door. Aunt Louisa looks at me, and
gives me knowing little nod-John
sighs-and l try rather unsuccessfully
to look unconscious. / have only been
engaged for fortnight, and am not
quite used to the situation yet-this is
why | want Robin to come and stay
with me. | want some one at hand in
whom l can confde. Aunt Louisa is
very kind and very well-intentioned,
but she is trife too practical to be
sympathetic; and Of course Icaanot
even mention my love to Joha-it
would seem quite cruel and hearuess.
As Harry enters the room now, with
his firm tread and deep-toned voice, he
brings with him a gust of the outer
freshness. His features are not finely
chiselled, like those of my brother,
but he has a frank genial face, bronz
ed by continual exposure to the ele.
ments. Alas for my future peace of
mind, this lover of mine is in the
Navy! And very prold the Navy
should be of such a gallant officer, is
my thought when l glance at his curly
golden beard and tall stalwart form.
Before he has been two minutes in
our midst, our usually quiet walls are
echoing with mirth and laughter My
disposition is naturally quiet; but Ha"-
RVS high spirits are Infectious; and, il
l have not the power of creating cheer
fulness, can at least reflect i. do

they inevitable would do were only
aunt Louisa and John present.

then-just when he is at the most tell,

aloud, as,soOn as his back il turned
Il wonder very much how it was that
Harry came to choose you? He is so
lively himself, and you, my love, are
such quiet little thing"
'Indeed am not! On the contrary,
l consider myself very lively" is my
nettled and over-truthful answer.
THAT is" correcting mself-'I
should be lively if had a chance; only
one can't very well be facetious all
alone"
Il should think that your friend,
Miss Wolstencroft, and Harry are
likely to become great friends" con-
tinues aunt, thoughtfully.
"Well, yes, / suppose so," l acquice
after moments reflection.
And then l wonder vaguely what
induces aunt Louisa so frequently to
make remarks which clash somehow
with ones feelings. l. is not want of
heart, l am sure; it must be simply
want of tact.

CHAPTER III

Robin is tired enough after her
twelve hours journey, and accepts
with alacrity aunt Louisa's proposal
that she shall go to bed at once; so l
see little of her on the evening of her
arrival.
The next morning however am up
betimes quite half an hour earlier
than was my wont. When dressed, l
tap at Robins door very softly, to
know whether she is awake.
.Come in," cries her CHEEKY voice;
and entering l find myself clasped by
pair of powerful young arms and
nearly smothered with kisses.
''Oh, DEAR" l exclaim, as, breath
less, / extrica-e myself from her ener-
getic embrace, '.why you are as much
like bear as ever! l have not ex-
perienced such hug as that since l

eyes very wide.

''And so am,'' / answer smiling,
''but not to Polar bear.''
"Ah, no, Dame Frigid! This is the
style of young man; can picture him
just so!"-and, taking my hand, she
raises it slowly to her lips, sinking
meanwhile on her left knee and plac-
ing her right hand sentimentally on
heart.
