LOTTERY HATED HIS JOCKEY.

strange Antipathy of the Old Time
 Steeplechaser for Jem Mason.
 The following story is told in the London Field of the famous old English steeplechaser Lottery, foaled in 1880, winner of the Grand National ill 1S39 carrying one hundred and siIty-eight pounds: Lottery and Jem Mason made up combination which delighted the eyes of every horseman whose good fortune it was to see the pair across big country together. Yet, strange to say, Lottery had the greatest antipathy to the man who rode him in nearly all his races and who certainly cannot be accused of any cruelty toward him, for Jem Mason was by no means one of the whip and spur school. He had fine hands, and believed in them, as he was entitled to do. Still he was hated by Lottery, and when the old horse was about twenty years old and was located at MT. Halls at Neasden Jem Mason chanced to go down, and naturally enough asked to be allowed to have a look at the old chaser. Just before the doors of the box were opened Lottery heard his jockeys voice and gave him one of his old greetings-tha is to say, he flew at him; but Jem, being not un
 prepared for reception of this kind, was soon out of harms way During Lottery's steeplecbasing career Jem Mason often had to hide his colors when he went to mount the horse, but. when the rider was once seated and the horse cantered to the post, the two were apparently on the most friendly terms.

An Ingenious Wtdower.

A practical man lately became wid- over. He was devoted, in his own self ish way, to his wife, so that her friends were surprised when they heard that he had sold all her wedding gifts-prin- cipally silver-without delay. His in genious excuse was this: T needed a good watch, as she well knew. The presents were of no use to me, and thought that, if I'sold them and used the proceeds to get a watch, it would be like having it come from her." Ger tainly a curious way of getting around the facts.

Tho Secret Eaiinf.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
If the Walton law is unconstitutional in
that 1t requires an educational qualfica-
tion, then all secret-ballot laws must ne
cessarily be unconstitutional. Some OF
the most upright men whom know may
not be able TO read or write. while some
Of the most unprlncipled men may read
Ike Edwin Booth and write like Jim
the Penman. But. Notwithstanding these
facts and all laws TO the contrary not
withstanding. the fact that n man cam
not read necessarily disqualifies him from
being an actual voter under any secret
ballot system. He may vote openly, and
know what he is doing; but under the
secrct-ballot system. so long as he re-
mains unable to read his ticket. he must
cast his ballot as deputy or as dupe-
for he cannot cast 1t knowingly, as an
actual voter, unless he has sufficient
education TO qualify him to do so. With
out this qualification he may put the
ticket that Brother John" gives him in
the ballot-box. and Brother john
may know what ticket he c'Brother
John') is voting through him; but he can
not really know himself. II may even
be that Brother John" may have sold
his vote (and the votes OF others, who,
Ike Mn, lacked lIle HtttSSdIJ StNShtiOh''
qualifications TO the party he wished TO
vote against. And. In this way. while he
has really cast his vote against his con-
ylc;ions Brother John" may have cast
(and gotten pay for) fifty votes. And this
Is one place where the shoe pinches.
Under the Walton law the professional
politician has no longer the illiterate voter
at his disposal. Under the old system
the man who could not read his own
ticket and vote on his own personal
knowledge was virtually poliucal
suffrage was apt TO be bought
and sold without his knowledge or con-
sent-whlle ne received none Of the re-
for his political labors. For
many years the entire negro vote OF Vir-
ginia was really cast by less than 1000
men. And even now they are regarded
by many as the political property OF a
party, and this idea is really the basis OF
the present contest over Virginia's repre-
seutation in the United States Congress.
The Walton law may not be perfect; but
it is a step In the direction Of the eman-
olpation OF many from political slavery
TO INSCRIPTIONS political masters. 3. 5.

LANCASTER COUNTY COURT.
Alleged Forgery on a Receipt for S1.9o-
Brockenborough Murder Case.

LANCASTER COURTHOUSE, VA,
January 26.-(Special. )-Court has been In
session since Monday. The grand jury
was in session the first two days OF the
term, and brought in the following IA
dictments: Commonwealth VS.. Daniel
Kelley, charged with assault; Common
wealth VS.. George Shackelford, forgery.
In this case it Is charged that the de-
fendant, who is highly respectable and
well connected, and who was the Super
intendent OF the Poor OF this county for
a number of years, and Is deacon in
the Baptist church, forged the name OF
q. NJ LENNON, a merchant or Rich
mond county, to o. receipt for I.7O. The
case creates a good deal of interest on
account OF the standing OF the parties.
The prosecution have employed j. w.
Chinn, Jr, Commonwealth's Attorney or
Richmond county, to assist Colonel
Joseph Mayo, who Is the Common
wealths Attorney OF this county. The
grand Jury also indicted James Brocken-
borough and Sila BrockenbOrough, his
wife. and John Brockenborough, their
SON. for the murder of Luther Lewis, the
little boy who was found dead near
Rehoboth church on November I'd last
This will be probably the most interest
ing case that has been tried here for
quite a number OF years. The Common
wealths Attorney relies entirely on cir
cumstantial evidence TO convict the per-
sens. James Brockenborough Is about
So years old. and his wife about 20, while
the boy John Is about % or 80 years
OF age. The old man and the boy were
arrested and examined some time ago, an
account OF which appeared In this cor
respondence at the time. A capias was
issued for the woman as soon as tne
indictment was found, and she Is now III

Jr., have been retained by the aetehd-
ants, and will make application to-mor-
row for bail for the old woman.
