A RIG RRIRE.

The Louisiana Lottery company is getting more free advertising than it wants nowa- days. It is working hard to prevent the State of Louisiana from casting it into utter darkness, so far as the State is concerned. The company was chartered in 1868 for twenty five years. The legislature of 1879 repealed it's charter. This same legislature called constitutional convention, and the lottery people, who had already grown enor- mously rich, took their case to the conven- tion, and, by methods which were great public scandal, succeeded in having clause inserted iu the proposed constitutional amendments reviving their charter and fixing December s1, 1893, as the date of it's expira- tion. The date approaches, and they have given out their intention of asking the pres. ent legislature to submit another amend ment extending the charter. And the com pany offers to pay the State $1 100000 a year for the extension.
 This big bribe looks very attractive to many of the people of Louisiana and the in- dications now are that they will be accepted. But Governor Nichols sees the matter as it is, and he shows his itn ess for his high office by warning the legislatu re that If it yields to the seductions of this ring of gamblers 1t will sell the commonwealth to the lottery com pany, and become it's servants; that all the political functions of the State will be ex- ercised at its bidding and in it's interest; that their governors, legislators, senators and representatives in congress will be its creatures. The State will be simply a cons munity of robbers, living upon the plunder which they can extort from the rest of the country. This iniquity shall never be ao- complained, he says, with his consent. But it is unfortunately not probable that his op- position will be able to prevent it.

gagged to import certain edition of the works of Victor Hugo, and then refused to carry out the contract, on the ground that some of the works called for were immoral in their character and condemned by the Congregation de rIndex; and they claimed that as they made speciality of selling books authorized by the Church, they could not be forced to deliver au edition of works pro- hibited by the Church. This defence was considered unsound by Judge Davidson, who decided that the ecclesiastical authority of any Church whatever could not affect civil contract.
 Those directly interested in the liquor trade do not feel as happy over the "original package" decision as they might perhaps be expected to. The current issue of the Wine and Spirit Gazette, which is the official organ of the wholesale liquor dealers association, expresses doubt whether the decision of the Supreme court will even temporarily increase the consumption of liquor in prohibition States, and distinctly foresees that its con- sequences will be injurious to the trade. "It is very much to be regretted" says that im- portant publication, "that this decision will undoubtedly hasten the passage by congress of the bill now pending, prohibiting the transaction of intoxicating iquer into pro- hibition States contrary to their laws" That seems to be logical deduction.

ONE OF RDIsON,s WONDERS.

Edison will have to stop invent1ng some- time, but it Is evident that he doesn't mean to stop until he must, and that when he does One of his inventions lately brought to pub. lic notice is his autographic telegraph. The object of this is to reproduce in one place the exact counterpart of message written by the sender in another place. There have been other inventions of this nature, but all were found in practice to possess disadvan- tages which m ilitated seriously against their general use. In the Edison autographio tele- graph the message is written with pencil on specially prepared paper. This paper is soft and spongy, and the pressure of the pencil makes deep indentation in 1t. The next step Is the transmission. The message is placed on cylinder revolved by an electric motor, which is in sym chronism with similar motor and apparatus at the other end of the line, the cylinder on the latter, however, being of metal, covered with e sheet of chemically prepared paper. A delicately adjusted spring is placed against the revolving drum at the sending end, and as the spring or wire passes over the paper and falls into the indentations produced in the message 1t closes the circuit at the distant end of the line, where an iron spring or wire decom- poses the solution in the chemically treated paper on the revolving drum at the exact moment of making the circuit. As the pens at each end of the line are caused to move downward triae at each revolution of the drum, the entire message is accurately repro- dused.
 How useful this will be remains to be seen. There are cases where the exact reproduction of a telegraph message would be very desirable, but as general thing it can be dispensed with. Most people are satisfied if their telegrams are only correctly

feel newer life in every gale;
 The winds that fan the flowers, Ard with their welcome breathings fill the sail, Tell of eerener hours; Of hours that glide unfelt away Beneath the sky of May. The spirit of the gentle south wind calls
 From his blue throne of air, And where his whispering voice in music falls,
 Beauty is budding there; The bright ones Of the valley break Their slumbers, and awake. The waving verdure rolls along the plain
 And the wide forest weaves To welcome back its playful mates again,
 Acanopy of leaves;
 And from the darkening shadow floats gush of trembling notes. Fairer and brighter spreads the reign of May;
 The tresses of the woods With the light dallying of the west wiEd play;
 And the full brimnning floods, As gladly to their goal they run, Hail the returning sun.
