Received $4,000.

Christopher Gould, the assistant dispatcher
of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad,
who resides at 600 North street. Harris
burg, last Wednesday received $15, 900, from
the Louisiana State Lottery, atNew Orleans
He held one-twertieth OF ticket No. STA,
which drew the first capital prize of $780,.
600, in the drawing of the 10th inst. On
Monday of last week, Mr.. Gould delivered his
ticket to Albert Leeds, of Steelton, agent OF
the United States Express company, who
forwarded said ticket. On Wednesday
Leeds received the full amount of the draw
ing, in ready cash money, namely $4,000,
He at once sent for Mr.. Gould, to whom it
was delivered, that same day:
We are happy to say that this sudden
wealth has not fallen into the hands of q
Coal Oil Johnny man, who squandels it in q
reckless manner. Button the other handithae
come into the hands of discretiouate and
worthy man, who will make proper use of it
To be sure he may possibly feel somewhat
elated, as he has good reason to be, but when
he was handed over this fortune, he was as
cool and reticent as Judge when he passed
sentence. This sum certainly comes in very
nice, as he had little more than his wages ia

Collecting Tax.

A man named Frye, who lived on
Tinker's Island, used to be the town
collector of Mt. Desert. If he didn't
get his money the first time he called,
he had an original way of helping
the delinquent to remember that he
would come again. Taking a piece
of chalk from his pocket, he would
write the word '"Tax" on the wood
work of the room in large letters;
and the authority of the official is
said to have been acknowledged so
well that the chalk was allowed to
remain there till time or the payment
of the tax had rubbed it off.-Lewis-
ton Journal.

Where Enemies Are Beneficial.

"To succeed in literature it is bet
ter to have many more good enemies
than good friends. Good friends are
like women who tire OF their lovers,
they forget rapidly; but good enc
mics are like forsaken women, who
pursue us even beyond the grave. "
This sentiment, scrawled at random
on a loose sheet of paper in an ele-
CANT, aristocratic hand, was not
penned by a cynical Frenchman, try
ing to emulate La Rochefoucauld,
but by a genial Galician, the author
of a series OF charming stories and
novelties, who, with the Russians
Tolstoi and Dostoievsky, has from
his debut won for himself European
reputation-the clever and prolific
Sacher MasoclI.-London Cor. New

A Vegetarian Cat.

E. J. Cable has a cat which is really
remarkable. His furis sable, blacker
than the blacklist midnight, and he
is the only vegetarian cat we ever
knew. When any Of the family are
peeling potatoes he "cuts up" at a
great rate until he is fed some raw
potatoes. He usually eats from one
to three. He also eats apples, but
his favorite dish is muskmellon. Ifa
muskmellon is brought into the house
secretly he will know it as quickly as
most cats would in it were raw beef
He will jumpup, NEW, and run around
after a piece of it and act as wildly
over it as most cats do over mice

been promoted to the command of
the Division, taking the rank and

The Cars COrk-Lined Train

From London Truth.
A new imperial train has just been
built for the emperor ofRussia. The
saloons are covered with iron out
side, and then come eight inches OF
cork, instead of the steel plates with
which the carriages of the old train
were protected. All the saloons
(which communicate by a covered
passage) are exactly the same in out
ward appearance, SO that no outsider
may be able to discover in which
carriage the czar is travelling. Dur
ing the emperor's journey last
autumn he passed most of his time
in a carriage which, from the out
side, looks like luggage van.

says: Water given to children should

To detect these impurities place the
water in a narrow-necked bottle,
cork the bottle and let it stand for
six or twelve hours. IF at the end
of that time the water is odorless il
may be considered free from organic
impurities. If the water gives off a
putrid odor, as it will be frequently
found to do, it is not fit for children's
use without filtering or boiling, fif
teen minutes being required for the
boiling. Avoid the settings and put
it away to cool. Before serving such
boiled water pour it from one tum-
bier to another several times 10 OBJ
