THE LOTTERY sINCHED.
Inspector Maynard Explains the
Situation.

Situation.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-John S. May
nard, the postoffice inspector in charge
of the New Orleans district, has re-
turned to Washington from New Or
leans. where he has completed the
work in some twenty-five cases against
the president Of the Louisiana Lottery
company for violation of the law which
prohibits the sending of lottery matter
through the mails. Mr.. Maynard says
the chain of evidence in these cases is
complete, and that the lottery company
will hardly dispute the facts. He thinks
the power Of the company is broken,
and says the business is reduced to
such point that. although it advertises
prize of $500, 900, yet it does not now
sell more than the half of any ticket, so
that it is impossible for the prize to be
drawn.

Taught a Lesson.
youths CompaBion.1


A.msn with large business interests
and a handsome income married lady
who, accustomed all her previous life to
the Injuries of wealth, had never formed
any clear conception of the worth and
purchasing power of money. For some
months the indulgent husband gratifed
his 'wife's every within.
One day the lady, to carry out some
caprice, asked for a check for so large a
sum:that the gentleman was disturbed.
He saw that such prodigality, if persist
ed in, meant ruin; but not wishing to
grieve his wife by downright refusal
he determined to give her lesson in fin.
ance. He therefore smilingly remarked
that.he could not give her check asusu-
al, but would send up the money from
his store.
About noon the promised money came,
notin- crisp bills, as was expected, but in
SILVER dollars, the sum total filing several
specie4bags.
The wife was first vexed, then amused,
and finally, as the afternoon wore away,
became deeply thoughtful. When her
husband came home to supper she took
im.genay by the arm, and leading him
into the room where the ponderous bags
of specie were still standing, said:
