We will wager ten 10 one that the lottery is
having the McEnery pictures made-that il
pays for them-and that its agents and en-
ployees are distributing them throughout the
State.--G Landry Clarion.
To wager is to bet, and to bet is gasn
bling. The sainted Clarion is SO open
in its denunciation of gambling, that we
do not believe word it says about
wagering. 1t tells this one to keep its
hand in. Practice makes perfect, it il
said
Who flooded the State in 1883 with
pictures of Nichollsq Will the Clarion
tell US who paid for them-who did CIR
culate them !? For heavens sake don't
answer the Lottery, for say what you
may, it never did anything in such a
small aUay. Some of our anti friends
are frightened half to death whenever
they SEQ the life size pictures of Nc
Emery. 1t suggests volumno of dis
asters to them. The marshalling of the
Democracy and the defeat and down
fall of all political mountebanks, loom
up in their visions. The apprehension
brings on cholera morbus. They de-
YOUR any quantity of oysters and some
times get drank on them , Sit around
and lounge about the purlieus of tho
saintcd anti rooms. There they con
suit the prophetic wisdom of tho
apollos and the wonderful sibylline
books for consolation, guidance and
direction. They would rather see a
full size picture of death on his pale
horse, hung up in their council halls
and bed rooms, than that of Samuel
Douglas McEnery. At the sight Of his
honest face they tremble and it is
natural and proper they should.

The Turks esteem de beard as the most
