schemes of the last drawings are
so arranged that they can sell 10
per cent. OF their tickets, pay 10
per cent. for selling them, lose all
the prizes provided for in the
schemes. pay a million dollars for
expenses, and still make SO 600, 900
profit per annum. We make no
idle assertion when we denOunce
these schemes as fraudulent. This
company offers to distribute less
than 80 per cent. in prizes. No
authorized lottery on earth that
we know Of, outside OF Mexico, is
allowed to distribute less than 10
per cent. The chance to win a
prize of any sort IN one OF these
drawings is about one in thirty,

The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Hcrald tells a piqu-
ant little story. 1t appears that
Senator COlquitt entered the Senate
Chamber the other day and was
inexpressibly shocked to find on
his desk a 'ong.necked black bottle
and a sandwich covered with a
napkin. At first the gentleman
from Georgia thought that he was
The victim of a practical joke. AT
ter inquiring Into the facts, how
ever, he learned that a page had
been sent for refreshments by Sen
atOr Hampton. The boy made a
slight mistake in the order, and
placed the original package on the
wrong desk. With his bright and
shining prohibition record, Senator
ColQuitt felt that he was placed IN
an aw kwald position, and he lost
no time in having the suspicious
black bottle removed. He sum-
moned the page to his desk and
gave him lecture, warning HIM
to be careful how he treated the
prohibition senator S, as it seriously
damaged them to be mixed up with
their wet colleagues.

Heroic Surgery.

Dennis Hammond, farmer in

ham, Ala, dispatch, has lived three
days with nearly half his skull
gone and one side of his brain ex.

tough skin grow over and protect
the brain.
Two years ago Hammond suffer
ed a severe case of sunstrOke, from
which he never fully recovered.
At times he would complain that
his brains seemed to he burning
and he suffered great pain.
Monday he had a severe attack
of his trouble. While at the sup
per table that night he suddenly
sprang up, saying; "My brain is
burning up; my brain Is on fir"
He ran out of the house and into
the woods, shlieklng with pain.
His family searched in vain for
him that night, and the next day
he came home with one side of his
head crushed and a portion OF his
skull gone. His brains could be
plainly seen through the Gaping
wound. He was perfectly rational,
and explained that he broke the

FARMERS, READ AND LEARN.

A few days ago a discussion
arose 10 the U. S. Senate upon the
tariff bill between Senator Hawley,
of Connecticut, and Senator George,
of Mississippi, which we wish could
be read by every farmer-in fact
by every man-in America.
The facts there cited by Senator
Hawley proved beyond the shadow
OF a doubt how much a protective
tariff, by encouraging manufac-
lures, benefits the people of a
State. The lands are higher, the
working people get far better
wages, while the general prosperity
of the people is very much greater.
Senator Hawley made a cOmpari-
son between the two States OF Con-
necticut and Mississippi as TO size,
wealth, population, Nc, when
proves beyond a doubt the great
advantage which accrue to farmers
from a protective policy.
He took figures, which all the
Senators, both Democrats and Re-
DnblicanS. admitted were correct.
He showed that in little Con
nechcut, having 4 900 square miles,
the assessed value of the lands
was s121,O G3,9lO, while IN Missis
slppl, haylng 4G,SlO square miles
the assessed value of the lands was
only SOP, SS4 915.
So this astounding fact appears
that in Mississippi, which is nearly
ten times as large as Connecticut
the farms are not worth as much
by nearly thirty million dollars
in other words the 1890 square
miles of Connecticut are worth
oyer S20,OOO,OOO more than are
the 4G, $40 square miles OF Missis
sippi.
This Is not all, however, for tax
ing the whole valuation of property
personal as we'll as real, COnnecti
cut has over two million more than
Mississippi.
He also showed that wages were
higher in Connecticut, and that
nearly every worklngman had some
money in the Savings Banks.
The farmer ana the labOrer, who
| are so blind as not to understand
these facts, ought to have a guar
dian to take care of him.-Sppit Of
