POSTMASTER GENERAL WANAMA-
KER last Tuesday received a letter post
marked New York, March 9th, en-
closing a thousand dollar United States
gold note, and one five hundred dollar
gold note, which the sender desires him
to place to the credit of the Conscience
Fund The SENDER in his letter, says
that years ago he defrauded the Gov
eminent of quite large sum of mon
ey. Since then the matter has lain
very heavily on his conscience, and as
he made a little money, he sends it to
to the Government. The $1,000 he
says is % per cent. over and above the
amount taken. He pities any thief, he
says, if he must pass through the an
guish Of mind that he, the sender, has.
No name is signed to the letter. The
money was placed in the treasury.

WANAMAKER'S
PHILADELPHIA, Monday. Mar. 81. 49,

Think of genuine Glasgow
Zephyr Bingham at 25c a
yard ! You take them as a
matter of course. The noun
tains of them melt away and
grow again in the light OF your
liking, but probably not in
twenty of you realizes what
trade triumph it is that puts
such goods within your reach
for so little. A round hundred
Of styles, stripes and plaids !,
big and little, jumbled and
cris-crossed into more of beauty
than you'd think possible.
Plenty more OF the Scotch
Ginghams-4o, 50, 60, 65,
and 75c. Marvels of weaving
as we'll as coloring, and on
such cotton as only the can
NEST weavers can make from
the finest fibre.
There's a width saving on
the Bordered Ginghams-42
inches wide, 8 or 9 yards for a
dress insead of Il. But YOU d
want them just the same if
there wasn't. The last agony
for style-oo, IS, and 75c.
Satin Plaid Ginghams 40
and soc.
Chine Ginghams 6oc.
Damasse Ginghams soc.
Jacquard figures CSC, plain
to match 40; with three or
more colors in the figures 75c.
And the Bingham story isn't
half told-there's a Yankee
chapter just as wonderful as
the Scotch.

FAILURES IN LIFE.

People fail in many ways. In business,
in morality, in religion, in happiness, and
in health. A weak heart is often an I'M
suspected cause of failure in life. If the
blood does not circulate properly in the
lungs, there is shortness of the breath,
asthma, etc. in the brain, dizziness, head
ache, etc. in the stomach, wind, pain,
Indigestion, faint spells, etc. in the liver
torpidity, congestion, etc. Pain in the
left side, shoulder and stomach is caused
by heart strain. For all these maladies
MIR. Miles New Cure for the heart and
lungs is the best remedy. Sold, guaran-
teed and recommended by HI. c. Van
Meter. Treastise free.

A Wildman.

A Chattanooga, Tenn. Special
to the Picayune gives the follow
ing story: Forty years ago Moses
Evans, a school teacher in Monroe
county Tenn, was Tilted by a
young lady. He foreswore COM
munication with his fcl.ow-meH
and buried himself in the noun
tains. He has become celebrated
throughout this whole section as
"the wild man of the Chilhowe. ="
He has maintained an unbroken
silence during all these yearo,
keeping away from the haunts OF
of men and living in the almost
unpenetrable Businesses OF the
mountains. Occasionally he
would accept offerings of clothing
to cover his nakedness.
Several men in Athens, Tenn,
employed party of negroes to
capture him, and he was brought
to Chattanooga to-day for exhibit
ton. The police learning of the
affair arrested the entire party,
and Evans will be returned to his
hermitage.
His forty years of unbroken sill
ence has made him forget the use
of his organs of speech. He
seems to understand something
spoken to him, but very little.
He is of pleasant countenance,
though his gray hair is unkempt
and scraggy and his beard matted
and dirty. His feet are bare and
the skin as tough as leather. He
is large of frame and as strong as
lion. With nothing but an oak
EN- staff he has battled with the
wild beasts of the mountain and
hunted the bear and deer Fer his
winter support Of food.

Congressman Neidrinehaus gave
an elaborate dinner at suburban
hotel last week in honor Of those
known as workers in the House.
1t was grand affair and lasted
till daylight, and the members en-
joyed themselves hugely.
The New York Sun says of it:
The party had no sooner di-
sembarked at the inn than Cole
man, of Louisiana, went to the
piano and began to sing planta-
ton songs. Coleman could make
twice $1,000 in a negro minstrel
troupe, and it was no wonder that
he stirred the party up.
Gov. Gear, of Iowa, listened I'M
til he could stand no longer. Be
fore he knew it, he was in the
middle of the floor dancing a
breakdown while the admiring
audience screamed their delight
and shouted for him to keep on.
Then Coleman started in again
and sang until Capt. Boutelle de-
clared there w5.s no more dancer
of food, now that the mouth OF
the Mississippi was open.
By the time dinner was annouu-
ced, the crowd was in the height
OF spirits and between every two
courses there were songs and iln-
promptu speeches. City Item.

: Last Saturday, at the hour Of
noon, a sharp clap of thunder re-
sounded over the town, and it was
evident that lightning had struck
near by. 1t proved to be the resi-
dence of Mr.. Numa Aucoin, south
west of the railroad depot. Strik-
ing the corner of the chimney, the
stream of lightning followed the
water valley between two connect
ting roofs, descended between the
weather boarding into the dining
room, tearing everything in its
path, and the currant passing into
a bench lifted it onto the dining
room table, ripping both into
splinters. Mr.. and Mrs. Aucoin
were sitting on either side of the
chimney and their little daughter
was in the dining room at the time
and all escaped injury.-New

We extract the following from


all editorial Of the Picayune: For
many years in this State the con-
,lition Of the unfortunate insane
has appealed pitiously to the hu-
name and the charitable. For
lac!, Of sufficient Accommodations in
Stale asylums the poor creatures
have been confined Ia jails and

beasts or worse. Seeing the State
inability to build levees and pro-
tcct her richest lands from the ri
vor'5 overflow; her inability to
make public schools a pride and
blessing, and inability to care for
the i.sanc-with all texes already
high and estopped by constitu-
tional limitation from being III
creasol-Mr. John A. Morris,
openly and above board, offers the
State of Louisiana one million
dollars per year in cash for the
privilege of conducting a lottery
this money to be applied to the
levoes. tine schools and the asy-
lums for the public good. Mr..
Morris proposes to give S25,OOO,-
GOO. The State gives nothing on
her part but the right to turn a
wheel, which, deplorable as it is,
has been and will continue to be
turned, Morris or no Morris.
The opposition to this grant is
many sided. The strongest op-
position comes from a combina-
ton formed to establish other lot
terry companies who have not Of
fered anything for rights. This
combination leagued with a small
er party that opposed all lotteries.
1t made strange mixture. The
good and conscientious minister
and the lay member with the
Mexican Lottery stock stood side
by side, resolving that the State
should not be benefited by the
Morris millions, and resolving to
put down the Louisiana Lottery
ON moral grounds.
The politicians on the side of
the opposition have done what
could be done to make it a pOliti-
cal question, denying at the same
time the rights of the people to be
hoarG. ne people OF Louisiana
are most interested in this ques-
ton. 1t should not be left to the
politicians, some of whom are mis-
representing that constituents in
the Legislature. The politicians
leading the opposition say that
the people are not competent to
speak; that there would be trou-
bles and riots if such an express
sion of opinion of the people were
attempted.
We have more faith in the pru-
dence and wisdom of the people
than they.
