A FORTUNATE CHICAGOAN.
Smiled Upon by The Louisiana State Lot
tery Goddess to the Extent of $4,000

Eternally sticking to it brings success.
Young men in Chicago have had this old
maxim reeled off to them so often that
whatever they engage in they keep al
with a persistency bound TO be rewarded
If the object sought 10 be attained is =
praiseworthy one so much the better for the
young man. The rule applies, whatever bc
the motive.

II may have been simply one of the smiles
which Dame Fortune often sheds on
favored residents Of the worlds fair city.
Be it as it may, Mr.. Spingerberg in June
invested in a One-fortieth interest in ticket
No. SO, S43 in the Louisiana State Lottery
and now has $4,000 cold, hard dollars to
show for it, the entire ticket represented by
his number being 5000 coo. When called
on by Times reporter he was very rcti-
cent as to details, but tacitly pleaded guilty
TO the extent named. His good fortune has
become so generally known among his many
friends that he is daily the recipient of
hearty congratulations and quantities OF
good advice. Mr.. Spingenberg is sharp,
shrewd, young business man, and already
has his newly acquired fortune invested to
good advantage. Riches have by no means
turned the young mans head, but the unex
pected possession Of even this little $500
has given him an idea of the pleasant
troubles that riches generally bring with
them.-Chicago OH. } Times, July H.

Irkoutsk Oh! how agreeably that name
sounded in Yegor's ears! Was it not at
Irkoutsk that the inspector of the mines Of
Nertchinsk had told him Davidoff and his
daughter resided? What if he should re-
cover his old friends That would be too
much good luck at one time and he dare not

the spot where perhaps, lived the poet Dav-

He now blessed his exile that he was
about to share, perhaps, with the adopted
sister whom he loved 50 nobly. His heart
leaped, but he was afraid to show his joy.

Nadege, I'VE will postpone our union until it
can be celebrated upon free soil
Il am willing" answered the Young girl,
blushing. But do you hope to regain your
hberty!"
'Yes-by fight-1ny liberty anu yours
Give the word ard viii follow you, " said
Davidoff,s daughter
Then Yegor felt himself stronger He
admitted to his betrothed that, when he
set foot on Siberian soil, he was already
thinking Of the means by which to escape
from the olious punishment which had
oTertaken him. If nc wished to be free
when he thought her dead to him, what
would he not do now to be worthy of her!
He did not wish her to become the wife of
a convict
From that moment, Yegor began to study
the chances offered by the various modes of
escape. He adroitly questioned the hunters
and merchants whom he met in the tea
shops of the bazar. addressing bv preference
men who had been to the frontiers of China
or Kamtchatka, in the country of the
Tchouktchis, for be could not think of go
ing towards either the west or the north
west
The frontier touched, so to speak, the
gates of the capital of the province Tue
town of hiakhta can be reached in three or
four days by sledge in winter, and there
China begins. But could Yegor expose
the weak Nadege and little Ladislas to
the perils incident to the crossing of the
horrible solitudes of the Desert of Cobb?
To put themselves in the hands of the Chi
nese authorities would be to subject them
selves to cruel treatment, and finally, ex-
tradition.
He thought that it would be less danger
Gus to go to the Sea of Okhotsk, that is to
say the Pacific Ocean, following the banks
of Lake Baikal and skirting the Yablonvi
mountain chain, afterwards descending the
Lena to it's mouth. ascending that river to
| its source and. finally, crossing the Stanovoi
Mountains. Once at Oudskoi, on the shores
of the Sea of Okhotsk, they could reach a
| ship bearing the French, English, or Ameri-
can flag
He adopted this last plan. In spite of all,
| he no longer recoiled, neither for himself
Nadege, nor little Ladislas whom he could
not abandon, from the terrible difficulties
| that he would encounter in crossing imnen Sc
tracts of country, avoiding habitations and
even keeping away from roads when there
were traces of any.
La the evening, when Ladislas was asleep.
the young people spoke in low tones of their
projects and, going beyond, into their fu-
ture, Yegor pointed out to Nadege, upon a
small map he had drawn, the route to be
to be overconro.

The child stroVe to asSua~e her deep at

man received his pardon, if he We're included
in an amnesty, his offspring did not partici-

The ukase of 1861 relative to the abolition of
serfdom. somewhat modified this deplorable
condition of affairs. But could Yeyor soon
fulfil the engagement made at Davidoff's
deathbed!
