Antf-LOttery Message.

Washington, July 30. = President
Harrison to-day sent the following
message to Congress:
To the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives: The recent attempt to Sc
cure a charter from North Dakota for
lottery company, pending the effort
to obtain from the State of Louisiana
a renewal of the charter of the Louisi-
ana State Lottery, and the establish
ment of one or more lotteries at Mex
lean towns near our border have
served the good purpose of calling
public attention to an evil of vast
proportions.
The vast sums of money offered to
States for charters are drawn from the
people OF the United States, and the
Government, through its mail system,
is made an effective and profitable
medium of intercourse between the
lottery company and its victims. Use
of the mails is quite as essential to the
companies as State licenses. 1t would
be practically impossible for these
companies to exist if the public mails
were once closed against them and
the prostitution of an agency only in
tended to serve the purposes of legiti-
mate trade and decent social inter-
course.
Severe and effective legislation
should be promptly enacted to entitle
the Postoffice Department to purge
the mails of all letters, newspapers
and circulars relating to the business.
1t might also be necessary TO 50 regu-
late the carrying of letters 10y express
companies AS to prevent the use of
those agencies to maintain commune
cation between lottery companies and
their agents or customers in other
cities.
| hope that such proper powers as
are necessary to that end will 6e given
to the Postoffice Department.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

No one is fatigued after the exercise
of forbearance.
1t is vain to stop the stream until
the tide doeth turn.
Every man is missionary for now
and forever, for good or for evil,
whether he intends or designs it or not.
The prayer that is spoken lift up
your heart; the prayer that is acted
eleyates your soul.-Ashland Press.
Praise never gives US much pleasure
unless it concurs with our own opin-
ion and extols US for those qualities
in which we chiefly exceed.
One of the hard things in this
world is that we never know there is
an ounce of prevention until after we
have taken our pound of cure.
1t is the part of prudence to face
every claimant and pay every just
demand on your time, your talents or
your heart. Always pay; for first or
last, you must pay your entire debt.
BY diligence and self-command let
n man put the bread he eats at his
own disposal, that he may not stand
in bitter and false relations to other
men; for the best good of wealth is
freedom.

They Had Met Before.

"Now, sir" began the attorney for
defense, knitting his brows and pre-
pairing to annihilate the witness whom
he was about to crooss-examine. "you
say your name is Williams. Can you
prove that to be your real namea Is
there anybody in the courtroom who
can swear that you haven't assumed it
for the purposes of fraud and deceitw

self" answered the witness.

Carson Appeal.


Currants and gooseberries grow in
abundance this year, and the trouble
of picking is all that is necessary to
get them.
The hay stacks are appearing all
over the valley, waiting for the press.
The second crop of alfalfa is now
ready to be cut.
Considerable fruit was killed in the
bud.
Nevada's potatoes will secure the
cake this year.
Corn is thriving throughout the
State, and considerable feed will be
slowed away in stacks.
The grass crop was rather late this
year because OF the valley floods, bnt
is all the better for It's lateness.
Yegeta bles are in their prime now
and the price is becoming lower.
The grain is showing its yellow
tinge, and inside of two weeks the
reapers will be in full swing.
II the summer keeps mp its lick
the ice crop is liable to be good-for
the ice man.

Previous to 1860 the decennial increase had
ranged between 33.o7 per cent. and 3a.39 per
cent, degree of uniformity that was rather
remarkable. During the ten years from 1860
to 1870, however, the rate OF increase fell to
% 63 per cent OF less than two-thirds of the
rate during the previous decade. If the rate
Of increase before the war had been maintain
ed since 1860 the population Of the United
States would have been about 42,000,000 in
1870, about 56oOO 600 in 1880, and "A, 800 900 in
1890. The Superintendent of the Census ac-
counts for the census falling short of showing
the large expected increase between 1880 and
1890, by claiming that it is because the census of
the Southern States in 1885 was grossly exag-
gerated and and that its exaggerations are lost
by the correct census Of 1890. He says:
The following table, showing the rates of
increase during the last three decades in the
South Atlantic and Southern Central States,
illustrates the imparfection OF the census of
1870 in somewhat startling manner:

We have just returned from the

pleasure to call attention to our new
stock, which is daily arriving. In no
previous season have the markets
shown such bewildering display of
novel and beautiful designs. Indeed,
art, stimulated to its utmost by the
prizes offered to success, has done it's
utmost for the manufacturer, setting
it's seal of beauty size by side with the
stamp of labor. Naturally 50 large
variety Of goods offers a wide field for
the exercise Of buyers taste and judy
ment, and with al due modesty be it
said) we never opened for display, or
exposed for sale stock Of goods Of
whose worth we felt more genuine
confidence, or of whose powers of
pleasing W. were more pleasantly
assured. We have endeavored to pur-
chase with special reference to the
wants of our own trade, such a class of
goods as shall best satisfy our custom

able jewelers..

The Religious Herald of Richmond ce,-
ebrated its 18th post beIlum anniversary
by a royal edition, al edition de haze SO to
speak, eight pages Of fine paper with some
thing on every page well worth reading
But, after all, if it hadn't been for the
number of pages, we don t know that the
edition differed much from it's other fifty
two of the year. Somehow each of it's
issues always seems the best-the sails are
frightened with the wind and the rigging
cracks each week as if she was at her
highest speed. 1t easily leaves any other
Baptist paper in this country far astern.
1t is a remarkable attractive by its
vigor to both sinner and saint And we
often wonder, if it can stir up so much in
terest in us simply as a religious weekly,
what must it be to a Baptist thoroughly in
earnest for the growth of his church
