GOOD LUCK CAME AT LAST

Thought He Was Born Under an Un-
lucky Star, but Changed His Mind.
Boston MassJ Herald, March 81.
Charles Fl. johnson, a driver for William
Richardson, 1o2 Sudbury street, has sud
denly become comparatively rich man.
In the last drawing of the Louisiana State
Lottery he was the happy holder of one
twentieth Of ticket s,l32, which drew the
First Capital Prize of 5000 o.; and re-
ceived as his share the neat little fortune
of $4,000. He said to a Herald man re-
garding the fortunate circumstance that he
thought up to the present time that he had
been born under an unlucky star, but II
seemed good luck had come to him at last.
He would not, he said, stop buying lotter y
tickets because he had made a winnin z,
but would continue to invest as before,
buying one or two tickets when the notion
seized him. Mr.. Johnson said that he
knew man in East Boston by the name OF
George NJ. Green, who Rad also drawn an.
other one-twentieth of the capital prize.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE IL, 1880.
MAGNIFICENT SYRACUSE.
What Is Left of the Famous Capital OF
SiclIY,a AthenIan EmnIre.

What Is Left OF the Famous Capital OF
Sicily's AthenIan Empire.
There are few cities in Europe, there
Is none in Sicily, so replete with classic
al interest as the once magnificent city
Of Syracuse, against whose walls was
shattered the prowess of the brilliant
and mighty Athenian empire. Sadly
fallen, indeed, are the fortunes of the
Syracuse of to-day. The resistless
progress Of devastation caused by the
action of man and OF time is probably
nowhere more effectively witnessed
than at Syracuse. The Ave suburbs
which were included within the ancient
walls have shrunk to the modern town
which covers the site of the old Oltygia,
the spot where the Corinthian advent
urers settled in 734 b. c., and from
whence rose 1.-The greatest and fairest
of all Greek cities" OF these four towns,
containing superb public and private
buildings, nothing, comparatively speak
ing, but a few large stones remain.
Since the time when the city was pill
laged and fired by the Saracens in S7S
the ruins have wasted and nodded away,
the crumbling dust being swept by the
sirocco into the sea, and the site upon
which so many world. important actions
have taken place is now converted into
corn-felds rudely titled, whilst here
and there a farmstead dots the lonely
and desolate expanse. The leading feat
ures of the suburbs of Syracuse still re-
main the same, and any student of
Thucydides can easily trace for himself
all the varying movements of the great
Athenian siege. The maRnificently-
sheltered harbor is still, as on the mem
orable day when Nikias and his GEN
erals in the Athenian triremes hurled
themselves with desperation against the
vessels Of the Spartan Gylippus, who,
having blockaded the entrance to the
harbor with chains, held the Athenian
navy as in vice. The two land
armies watched the engagement
from the banks, and stimulated
the combatants with loud shouts,
described by Thucydides as resembling
the surging of a dramatic chorus. How
the Athenian power was overwhelmed,
and how, after few days of misery,
Nikias and his blood-stained and broken
battalions surrendered, and Demos
themes capitulated; and how the seven
thousand prisoners were taken to the
stone quarries to die dogs death of
disease, hunger and thirst, are facts too
well-known to need recounting. Oddly
enough, when first entered the har-
Dor OF Syracuse it was occupied by
more powerful, though less picturesque
feet than those of ancient Athens or Of
Syracuse, viz, the Italian feet Of pom
derous black ironclads, with a horde Of
waspish, spiteful torpedo boats fitting
across the blue waters of the expansive
harbor, which twenty-three centuries
before had been beaten into bloody surf
by splashing oars and the clashing Of
mighty triremes.-Art Journal

The LiberalIty of n Standard OIL MaRnAte
Other Generous Glfts.
What is believed to be the largest fee
ever paid to a physician in a single
case was paid by j. II. FIagler, one Of
the Standard Oil kings, to DR.. c. G.
Sheldon.
A dearlybeloved daughter of Mr..
Flagler, who afterward died while oruis-
Ing on yacht in southern waters about
year ago, was lingering between life
and death. There was not more than
two or three chances out of one hundred
that she would ever be able to leave
her bed alive. The devoted father an
nounced that, if DR.. Sheldon could re-
lieVe the suffering of his child and
aid her in recovering, he would give
him the largest fee that was ever paid
to a physician. Miss Flagler rallied
and was finally able to leave her bed,
and in the course of time was sufficient
iy strong to drive out. The young
heiress to several millions lived to en-
10y her great wealth for a long time
after this and DIR, Sheldon, was pre-
sented with $3.50, worth of stock in
the Standard Oil Company.
DIR. w. H. White, who is the family
physician of the Vanderbilt family, is
another of the highly fortunate of our
medical men. The money in fees that
he has received from this family alone
would make him independents. DR..
White has been presented from time to
time with blocks OF Vanderbilt securi-
ties as an evidence of the mfllionairs's
regard for his medical skill, Thus the
doctor is enabled to indulge his hobby
of buying the most valuable kind of
furs.
DR., John P. Mum. who is engaged to
look after the health of Jay Gould and
his family, is anOthsF fortunate physi-
clan. Mr.. Gould is great man Tor eop-
sulting doctor on the slightest provo
cation, and some Of his friends wonder
that he is alive, because he takes SO
much medicine. could not learn that,
Mr.. Gould eyer paid any extraordinary
fee, like Mr.. FiagleS, bat Q gentleman
who saw a check from Mr.. Gould to hts
physician said it was for $40, 900 and it
was drawn shortly after the death Of
Mrs Gould.
Mr.. Gould's business associate, Mr..
Russell Sage, hear pays his physician
by the year and Mr.. Sage makes sure
that his doctor earns his salary.
DR.. Fordyce Baker is the medical at
tendant of the Aston family, and the
fees he receives from them alone could
be divided by two and then considered
handsome income for first-class doc
tor in smaller city. John Jacob Astor
many years ago had an operation per-
formed by the late DR.. Agnew, in return
for which he presented his check for

Judge Henry Hilton, who has the rep
utation of being the most liberal giver
Of any of Gotham's milIIopaires, pre-
sented his physician with a valuable
house and lot on one of the fashionable
thoroughfares.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll makes a
confdant of his physician. When the
Colone's daughter was recently married

person outside the members OF the FAM

PATERNAL LEGISLATION.
How Marriage Gifts Are Regulated by Law
In India.

How Marriage Gifts Are Regulated by Law
In India.
A series Of rules have just been issued
by the Government of India for regu-
lating the marriage expenses of the
Kadya Kanbi caste in certain districts
of the Bombay Presidency. Power was
given to the government to make such
rules under an act of 1870 for the pre-
vention of the murder of female infants.
The rules are a curious example of the
patriarchal legislation sometimes neces-
sary in Oriental countries. Thus the
presents to be given at betrothal by the
father or guardian Of the bride to the
father or guardian of the bridegroom
shall not exceed one rupee and seven
suparis or betelnuts." The marriage
present payable to the bridegroom's
father may be one rupee, and shall not
exceed 101 rupees, nor shall the value
of the cocoanuts distributed at the mar
riage procession exceed ten rupees.
The same limit is fixed on the value of
the present by the brides maternal
relations. The payment on account of
the ceremony when the bridegroom
touches the fringe of his mother-in-law's
dress must not go beyond two rupees.
nor shall the payment on account of
Muhi Malta, or the gift of an earthen
pot with eatables when the bridegroom's
party depart after the marriage, be more
than Fl We rupees at the outside, The
gift to be paid at the time of the prostra-
ton of the bride before her mother-in-
law is limited to seven rupees; the num-
Der of dinner parties given by the brides
family is not to be more chan five, and
the number of guests at each must not
be more than twenty-five. The mar
riage party going to the brides village
IS not to spend more than thirty rupees,
and when the bride goes to her
husbands house with her first child
the amount to be paid to the BRIDE
groom's friends Is not to be more than
eleven rupees, and msy be as low as
one rupee. The present to be given by
the brides father may be as little as
one rupee, but must under no circum-
stances exceed one hundred, and what
ever the sum be it must be expended on
ornaments, which will be the wifes prop
erty uthrough life and her husbands
after. When the bridegroom is invited
10 a social evening at his father-in-
laws house, the amount to be paid to
him is not to exceed two rupees, nor
shall he take with him On such oc-
casions more than five men. 1t is eK-
pressly provided also that in no case
shall tbs father or guardian of the bride
take any money from the other on &C
count of giving his daughter" The
rules do not interfere with the custom

and ceremonial occasions. - London
