CHICAGO STANDARD.

] We clip the following from the
Chicago Standard, of Feb. slst,
witch shows how the lottery is
regarded even in that wicked city:
! Wherever the the lottery still
exists it argues low moral tone
among the people, and q spirit in
inc Government far in the rear of
modern ideas Of either the right
or the expedieht. 1t has been
forbidden by law in England for
more than sixty years; since 1880
in Belgium also; and even IN
france, where it once foarished
beyond almost any other country,
1t Is now prohibited by law. On,
" two OF the United States have
'of many years past allowed this
pernlcious form of gambling, and
IN enc of these, Louisiana, it will
cease to be tolerated, when in five
years more the charter of the com. |
pany now applying in North
Dakota, shall expire. 1t is much |
10 De hoped that the proud young
state, with such future after
that the present ordeal of financial
stress shall be overpast, Will aot
shns early IN lis career stain it's
name with legislation which
throughout almost the entire
Christian world will he accounted
Infamous.
One OF the chief reasons for the
'ooiltlon of the lottery in the
named above, and for its !
by all writer's upon
horels and upon political ecopo. ]
n.y. is its essentially demoraliz. !

Happy Nellie Grant sartoris.

New York World.
If anybody imagines that Nellie
Grant Sartoris is dying of home sick
ness for the friends, scenes and assoc
iates of her happy girlhood, he Is
vastly mistaken. Mrs. Sartoris is more
than contented with her England
home. She could not be induced to
live in the States again. In this city
she would be plain Mrs. Sartoris, the
daughter of an ex-President, while
abroad she is honored, courted and
worshiped as a sort of daughter of an
American king and the descendant of
the greatest warrior the New World
has ever known. Her position in soci-
ETY. is enviable, her country home is
beautiful, she moves In an exclusive
set, selects her friends, and has the air,
manner, appearance and accent of an
English thoroughbred.
Mrs. General Grant lives in the beau
tiful home presented to the General
shortly after his retirement from public
life, surrounded by every comfort and
luxury that her taste Graves. Singu-
larly enough she is alone in the big
house, which is kept SO closely cur
tanned that the visitor who is admitted
before lamplight has to feel his way
about the long salon to avoid falling
over the furniture. So heavy is the
gloom that pervades the house even
on the brightest, sunniest day that the
keenest eyes are powerless to determine
the complexion or possible changes In
the face of the great soldiers widow.
This aversion to the cheer of sunlight
CAN only be accounted for among the
eccentricities of Mrs. Grant, who,
though sixty-four years of age, is
younger in face and feelings than most
women of fifty: Her eyes are bright,
she has good color, smooth skin, her
bearing is easy and erect and there is
not tress of white hair on her head.
She enjoys perfect health and her man
ner and conversation are those Of q
well-satisfied and mentally serene
woman.
Barring her sight, which has always
been poor, she is in the enjoyment Of
all her faculties and perfect health.
Her household consists-'of an English
butler and three maid servants, one of
whom acts as secretary, reads the paper
and takes the dictation for the book of
memoirs which Webster will bring out
and from which this world-traveled
widow is likely to realize fortune.
The Western Recorder, q religious
newspaper published at Louisville,
KY, gives these crisp definitions:
"Fanatic-a man who is determined
to do what we do not wish done.
An egotist-a man who feels his own
importance more than he feels ours.
A bigot-a man who is firm in a belief
different from ours. A prejudiced
man-one who is not convinced by our
arguments"
