LUCKY FLYERS.
The Five Thousand Dollar Prizes In
the X.on!siana fctaie Lottery.
A reporter yesterday met Fatrick
Couriers, a stock operator, who lives
at 526 Golden Gate avenue, and asked
him if it was true that ho held a one
fifth coupon in a lucky ticket in the
October drawing of the Louisiana
Lottery.
"Yes, it's true," said Mr. Conners.
"And did you get your coupon
cashed?"
"Indeed, I did. Tho coupon was
one-fifth of ticket 1S4, which drew
$25,000. My share, consequently, was
$5,000, and it was collected in full
for nie by Wells, Fargo fc Co. It was
a neat little sum in these days of
email profits in stocks."
" llow did you happen to get the
lucky coupon?"
",VTtll, that is just it. I happened
to get it, sure enough. One day, I
think it was about two weeks before
the October drawing, 1 was standing
in the vestibule of the Stock Ex
chang, when one of these lottery
agents came up to me and said he
had one couron left. You know they
always say that, but it never occurred
to me that he would have many more
than one, for I have seen him knock
ing nround Pine street for years and
Kiippo-ed he generally had only two
or three tickets. I jokingly remarked
that I had better take all he had and
the fellow dumped seventeen coupons
on me. That was pretty tough, I
thought, but as I had made him a bid
I btuffed the coupons in my pocket
and paid him $17. Well, I thought
nothing more about them until the
agent came rushing out to my house
one morning before I was out of bed.
Ho kept ringing the bell until I
got up, and a&keJ me excitedly if I
did not have coupon184. I told him
I did not know, but looked and found
that I did, and asked him what of it.
'Vat of it I' he exclaimed. 'Dot's
pretty goot. vat of it!' les, said
J, 'what of it?' for I was getting
pretty cross at being turned out in
the morning like that to be asked the
number ot my coupons. I did not
remember that the day before was the
. day of the drawing, and in fact didn't
think much ab6ut the drawing at all.
' ILyre is vot of it,' said the agent, and
he pulled out a press dispatch .which
announced that 184 had drawn the
$25,000 prize. I would have found it
out myself, I suppose, when I read
the morning paper, but that fellow
get $50 for getting me out of bed an
hour before breakfast."
" Have you bought many tickets?"
tho reporter asked.
"I suppose altogether I have paid
about $100 into the game and drawn
out $5,000. I thought the thing was
a pretty queer chance, and only
bought as a sort of ' flyer,' as they say
on Pine street, but I know I got my
$5,000 coupon cashed without any
trouble."
Strangely; enough, the holder of
another coupon of the sams-ticket is a
San Franciscan Mrs. II. M. Kibben,
a widow, who in her way seems a very
"mascotte" herself! In answer to a
call from a reporter she invited him
' into her parlor.
" How many tickets had you when
you held the lucky number 184?"
asked the reporter.
" I had $25 worth, and got them on
this iesue. For the September draw
ing I had purchased two and had won
$25 on one of them; so I thought
this is nearly all profit; I do not need
the money and I will invest the whole
for the October drawing."
" When did you first learn of your
good luck?"
" Well, I had been quite ill upon
the night of the drawing and was
compelled to retire early, and after a
few hours' rest I- awoke I think
about 5 o'clock and arose to take a
look at the morning paper, never
thinking of the lottery at all. Maybe
you think I was not surprised. I have
paid my debts fand bought a nice
little piece of property with my last
winning; so you see the money has
been put to a good use." San Fran,'

RUSSIAN CENSORSHIP.
Jlow the Csar Provide! That Nothing: Of
fensive lie Published.
The censorship foall pullications
is composed of two courts the Censure
Committee and the Press Dei artm nt
In addition to these two there existed
at this period a third divis'on for "press
crnsure" organized by the notorious
Third Section, where the chief of the
gendarmerie reigued supremo. At pres
ent this Third Section has betn trans
formed into a department of the St ;t
police, and consequently the whole cen
sorship is co dined to the Miu'stry of
the Interior. There exists besides these
au eccles'astical censorship for all
works tonchiug upon religion, and one
of the Min'stry of Public, Instruction,
that deals with all books or period cals
intended for young per-ons. Every
publication, whether book or periodi
cal, must undergo either 'preliminary"
or "aiibso ,ueut 1 censorship. Those
subjected to "preliminary" censorship
are dealt with in manuscript, and the
printed text must in no wise differ from
this corrected manuscript, orten cut
down wholesale and utterly spoiled by
the censor. Wit'i regard to publica
tion? exempted from this censorsh'p,
once printed they ars. presentid to.the
("ensure Committee,- but the permission
to sot them in circulation is only grant
ed after the expiration of seven days for
books aixl of four days for periodicals,
provided that during lhis period the
censor has not entered any objection.
This formality complied with, the book
review passe? on to a member of the
Press Department, who exercises
superior control. If all ethe cen
sors think the publ'oation of a book
or periodical is damaging or disa
greeable to the Government, the
printed copies are sequestered or, ac
cording to circumstances, other steps
taken. In addition to the administrative
measures, the censorship, through the
medium of the procurour, can summon
author or editor before .the tribunal
and the administration (the "head po
lice,' ") and can expel them from the
capital or have them deported in order
to place theso "disturbers fit the pea cj"
under surveillance of the police. It fro
ijinM.tly happens that an author acquit
ted by the tribunal is deported by vir
tue at sa order from the chief of the gen
darmerie. I could i cite numbers of
cases showing the relations between the
administration and tho men of letters.
But I believe that one little adventure
that took plaoe at St. Petersburg will
suffice as evidence what law and justice
are in Russia when theprcss is concerned. .

AN ENGINEER'S THRILLING
EXPERIENCE.
The Liverpool Daily Post says : "A
day or two ago a gentleman, while in
conversation with a prominent army
officer, was, made acquinted with a
most thrilling account of prolonged
suffering and ultimate rescue expe
rienced by one of the oldest engineers
in Liverpool. The name of the latter
gentleman is Mr. Willam Buchanan,
who, upon being visited, made the
following statement: 'I have been
twenty-four years in the service of
the Cunard Steamship Company, and
I reside at 8 Kt. John's Koad, Kirk
dale, Liverpool. Two years ago, while
attending church one day, I was sud
denly attacked with a most excru'eiat
ing pain in my head, which so com
pletely prostrated me that I had to be
conveyed, to my home. Then followed
twelve months of agony, which it is
utterly impossible to describe. I had
to resign my positiou, being entirely
incapacitated from work. Medical
opinion Was divided as to who my
malady really was. One doctor de
cided that I was suffering from a
rhoumatfc affection of the brain,
another that it was an overflow of
blood to the brain, and another that
it was acute neuralgia of the head.
All agreed, however, that it would
lead to softening of the brain. Six of
the most eminent physicians in Liv
erpool attended me, but afforded me
no relief. My case was regarded as
incurable, and my sufferings were so
great that Toften became unconscious
and fairly crazed fiom pain. I could
neither nor hear for days at a
time, and during the fearful attacks
of pain my cries often attracted the
attention of the neighbors. My house
was iointed out as one in which a
man lay at death's door, and some of
my paroxysms of pain were so great
that it required two and sometfmes
three strong men to hold nie in bed.
My physicians held consultations, but
all of no avail. My sufferings re
mained the same. My family were in
despair, and, at one time they re
garded me so near death that, in addi
tion to three physicians who were in
attendance, two clergymen were sum
moned to my bedside. At that time
my wife's attention was called to a
new remedy which was then being
introduced, and which elaimed to be
a cure for rheumatism and neuralgia.
She procured a bottle, and applied
the contents to. my head. Neither
she nor I had any confidence in the
remedy, but it was like a drowning
man catching at a straw, and it looked
like the last hope. The remedy acted
like magic. It saved my life. I feel
sure, my family and my friends feel
sure, that had I not used it I would
be dead, instead of alive and hearty
and in perfect health, as you see me
here. All other treatment had en
tirely failed, and wonderful to relate,
I have never had the slightest return
since I was cured some months ago.
I have re-entcrrd im old position, and
in giving you the foregoing facts, I
can only repeat that St. Jacobs Oil
which is the remedy referred to
saved my life. My case is no, secret.
My friends and neighbours know all
about it, and are likewise familiar
with my terrible sufferings, and my
former helpless and hopeless condi
tion. My cure was considered so
marvellous it has become much
talked over and is well known that I
have received over 200 visits and
letters on the subject. To all of these
I have simply stated the facts as I
have related them to you."
"A call was then made upon Messrs.
Budden and Co., Chemists, 399 Stan-
lev Koad, Kirkdale, from whom Mrs.
Buchanan procured tho oil, ad Mr.
Gill, the manager, fully verified the
statement which had been made to
the reporter, and said this was only
one oi me manv remarkable cures
effected by St. Jacobs Oil whicli had
come under his personal notice. He
also added that his firm were daily re
ceiving expressions as to the wonder
ful benefits people derived from the
use of this marvellous oil, especially
wnen suiiering irom rheumatism or
neuralgia."
A CURIOUS TRIBE.

numb r between seven hundred and
eight ' und ed. They are in nine divi
sions, un er hea 1-men ca l d Batins,
an 1 they live nvunly by collecting gut

As far as Is known they have 1 o form
of religious worship, but they are very
superstitious, relieving; n goo.l and bad
omens, the sacred eha:acter of cvrtaie
birds, a :d they, always desert a vil age
as unlucky on the death of any member
of the tribe. They tattoo hgures on
their arms, but apparently only for the
sake of i nament. and do not use an'
specially igu'fican figures, peculiar to
each tvi' e analogous to t e tot ns of
the No.'ili Am -ric in Inditn--. They
consider no kind of ed ble rood
unclean, but eat even mon
keys, snakes and scorpions,
which they kill by means of a blow-p:pe,
throwing a dart poisonod with the juice
of the poh or upas tree. For large
game they use a kind of cross-bow, con
sisting of a sharpened V am boo spear
placed horizontally on a grooved log,
and a bent sapling fastened back by a
rattan cord. This cord is stretched
across a path in the jungle, and. on be
ing touched, releases the sapling with
sufficient force to drive it completely
through a deer's body. The Sakeis live
in small huts built of bamboo and
thatched with leaves of the Pertani
palm, raised eight feet or more above
the ground. They are shy and easily
frightened, but are quite haVm'ess, and
are gradually beeonung accustomed to
Europeans, by whom they are employed
to track game and cut paths, through
the jungle. They are small in stature,
but are" otherwise very similar in ap
pearance to the Malays, from whom
they differ, however, in usuallv having
wav' instead of straight growing hair.
A few Malays are attached to every
Sakei community to act as go-beltveerss
in th sale of their produce, and the
officials have received special instruc
tions to protect these aboriginal tribes.

A TURPENTINE FOMENTATION.
The Kxqumlte Torture Your Landlady
Relights in Inflicting Upon You.
Did you ever take a turpentine fo
mentation whert you were not feeling
part'cularly robust? No ! First your
landlady, who is a very kind lady in
deed, in spectacles, slips a rag in a dish
of turpentine anVl deposes it very neatly
on the muscles that run up back of the
ear. On top of this she deposits a nice
white cloth, which at intervals she
wrings out in hot water. Then you lie
back upon your pillow and smile affably.
You don't see anything so very bad in
that. You even essay a jojee or two,
just to show the inhabitants that though
cast down you are not destroyed. Then
suddenly, without tho least warning,
somebody lams you in the back of the
neck with the Hat" side of a red-hot
shovel. At least, you think that that is
what ails you, and" in the exciremont of
the moment you jell out soiuo very
audible conversation, but it subsequently
transp'res that it would have been wiser
to withhold your yelis until later, when
they seem better, calculated to do you
good. Whoever it is with the shovel
now begins to press it against you hard.
You groan aloud at thi, and if you are
a profane man, as I am afra:d you
would be, you possibly indulge in a
variety of quotations that can not fall
to cause your'landlady pain.
"Am I not almost done?" you pres
ently groan, as that good woman re
news the wrung" out biuidage.
"Done?'' she interrogates, as she
carefully attends to getting the shovel
back in exactly thei same agonizing
spot. p
"Yes," you say, 'cooked."
"Oli," the landlady kindly returns,
"it has only just begun."
Then she goes out of the room a mo
ment, you don't know what for, but
you suspect after more turpentine.
Now you fall into a sort of horrid night
mare," and you find your neck locked
in one of Torrey's sand mounds, which
a sooty-faced workman in a dirty apron
is pouring full of molten brass! llow
it sizzles and burns! You shriek aloud.
Then you snatch off those wet and tiery
bandages, and 3011 Ming them madlv
across the room, just in season to eaten
the landlady, who at this instant un
suspectingly opens the door, square in
the face, to her undoubted astonish
ment and alarm.
"Why," she exclaims, when she has
recovered her composure and the rags,
"they haven't been on half long enough
yet."
"Woman." j'ou scream, "as she ap-
E roaches the bed with the clothes in
and, "keep away with those odious
implements of wrath. Away, I say
avaunt! One step nearer and I stretch
you a living corps! at my feet!"
You don t mean this, of course, aud
you couldn't do it, anyway, for jour
feet are tied up in the bed clothes, but
in you.: delirium you hardly know what
you say. But the landlady soothes
your agitation with some cooling re
marks, anoints your burning, bli.-tered
neck in oil. and "leaves -you to pleasant
dreams. In the course of six or seven
hours the lire begins to subside and
you sink into troubled sleep. But in

Divisibility of Matter.
A grain of musk w'll diffuse a per
ceptible odor through an apartment for
twenty years. It does this by filling the
air with particles of its substance, but
so inconceivably minute are these
particles that if the musk is weighed at
the end df twenty years no loss of
weight can be detected. A grain of
copper dissolved in nitric acid wdl im-
iart a blue color to three pints ot water,
aeh separable particle of vater must
contain a portion of the grain of copper,
which is thus, as has been computed,
divided into no less than lOO.OOO.OUO
parts. The spider's web is so attenu
ated that a sufficient quantity to go
around tho earth would weigh only
eight ounces. Blood is composed of
small red globules floating in a colorless
liquid. Ot these globules every drop of
human blood contains at least a million.
Minute as they are they may be divided
into globules much more minute. As
we descend in the scale of creation we
come to animals whoso whole bodies
are no larger than these little globules
of human blood, yet possess all the
organs necessary to life. How incon
ceivably small are the vessels through
which the fluid of their bod es must
circulate! Irish World.
Other People's Letters.
The simplicity with which certa;n
people acknowledge their own sins of
curiosity, and other forms of bad taste,
is sometimes very refreshing. It
suggests the only excuse possible for
them, that of the ignorance in which
their offenses were committed. Said a
farmer to a neighbor, whose ma i he
had just brought from the adjoining
town: "There's one more a postal
card but I vow, I believe I've lost it!
No matter; 1 know what was on it.

the postoflice clerk if there were any
letters for him. There was one.

"One scudo." (A dollar.)
"That's too much," sa:d the gentle
man. c'Tli make it half a scudo.
"Won't you make it seven paoi?"
(seventv cents) asked the clerk.
"No,I won't."
"Well, then, you may have it at vour

A EAILE0AD PRESIDENTS VTLWS.
In these busy times when city people have to
go long distances, and are in too much of. a
hurry to walk, the street railway enterprise
has risen to be one of the important interests
of modern finance and industry. It requires
shrewd and able men to manage it, and it gen
erally rewardr them with a prosperous dis
tinction among the. business men of the day.
One of the roost prosperous and best known ef
the New York street railway men is J. M.
Heybert, Esq., who is President of the Hous
ton, West and l'avonia Ferry line. The man
who achieves . success in this street railway
business does so at considerable outlay of
brain and nerve power. Managing such an
enterprise may look like easy work, but let
those who think it so make trial of it. Mr.
Heybert found no beds of roses in his way to
prosperity, but by constant and severe atten
tion to business fell into a state of invalidism
which threatened to carry him off. He is now,
however, restored to health and as busy as
ever.
Our New York correspondent visited Mr.
Iteybert at the ofllce of the company offfcast
Tenth street, and found him busy superintend
ing the details of the business. Mr. Iteybert
cheerfully assented to the request that he
should tell something about his experience of
sickness and recovery.
"It was four, or live years ago," said Mr.
Iteybert, "that r began to run down in health.
It was partly owing to too close application to
business and partly to the tinwholsome
atii.osphere of the place in which I had to
spend most ot my time. 1 was luKen wun coia

of rheumatism. I hod a great deal of local
tain distributed over various parts of my
body, and wherever the pain came there came
also DiacK spots, men rncumaiism uovcioja-u

doctor told my v iio that I never could be any
better. This wu a Kloomr outlook for me.

was in J une, 1881.
"I heard of Compound Oxygen and sent for a

taken down with rheumati-mi of the heart, a

My breathing was so oppressed that I felt as if

its contents. Nevertheless 1 tried. At this
time my sciatica was very severe, with sudden
aches shooting down the nerves or bom legs.
"When 1 tried the Oxvuen I was astonished
to find that with a little practice I could inhale
it freely. Yet for several days each inhalation
would send pain to sonic old spot. The ache
would continue for fifteen or twenty minutes,
and then go away. Gradually 1 was free from
these pains and I could inhale the Oxygen

I had previously been in the habit o( walking
two or three tunes in tne mgnt. .ow 1 was
restful. My sleep began to refresh me as it
had not done before. 1 omitted to tell you Uiat
witli my other disorders 1 also had dyspepsia.
Sometimes this would distress me to such an
extent that I did not care for company. It
made my appetite poor, and the food 1 ale am
me but little good. The Oxygen repaired my
digestive organs as it did everything else about
me. 1 had also sintered from catarrh so badly
that 1 lost the sense of smell. W ell, this Oxy
gen is a very strange sort of thing, for it drove
away me rueuinausn; anu sciatica; ii maui;
my digestion so much better that 1 can now cat
like other neoule. and it entirely cured me of
catarrh. Once in a while if I take cold I have
a little catarrh, but a few inhalations of Oxy
Kcn sends it away. During all my use of this
remedy I have received advice at the Com
pound Oxygen office, o. lis Hith avenue, anu
have followed directions in the use of the pow
ders there iriven me. I have found them of
great beueiit with the Oxygen and Oxygen-
aqua.
"And as to your friends, Mr. Iteybert? You
have received so much benefit from this rem
edy that I suppose you have advised others to
use it f
"Yes. I have advised a good many, and I
have heard that it has been 01 great advantage.
One case I will mention that of Mr. Samuel J.
Holmes of this city, a gentleman well advanced
in years. He had long been troubled with
asthma. He used the Oxygen for seven or
eitrht weeks before it made much impression
on him. Then, almost all of a sudden, it began
to do its work. It did all we could have ex
pected. It made him breathe freely, naturally
aud without pain. He quotes it as a large suc
cess, j ust as I do.
"Yes sir: you may put me down as a
thorough believer in Compound oxygen, 1 am
not'takini it now. except a little occasionally.
because 1 am well and hearty. If 1 am sick
again give me Compound Oxygen. It is a won
derful restorer."
So say all who give it a fair trial. There arc
yet a irootl many ieopIe chronic sufferers and
others who have not tried it. "It is never too
late to mend." Write to Drs. Stakkky &
I'alkn, lo2y Arch street. Philadelphia, for a
valuable little treatise on Compound Oxygen.
They will mail it to any address and it may be
of great use to you.

this distressing disease by the use of iuhale"ts and other

NO BOON THAT SCIENCE HAS CONFERRED
Has been fraught with greater blessings than
that which has accrued to tho inhabitants of
malarial ridden portions of the United States
and the Tropicj from the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The experience of many
years has but too clearly demonstrated the in
efficiency of quinine and other drugs to effect
ually combat the progress of intermittent,
congestive and bilious remittent fevers, while
on the other hand, it has been no less clearly
shown that the use of the Hitters, a medicine
congenial to the frailest constitution, and de
rived from purely botanic sources, affords a
reliable safeguard against malarial disease,
and arrest of it when developed. For disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, ror general
debilitv and renal inactivity, it is also a most
ertlcient remedy. Appetite and sleep are im
proved by it, it expels rheumatic numors irom
the blood, and enriches a circulation linpover
ished by mal-assimilation.

country 1 amiracuxl a terrible blood polaou, and for
tg year waa under treanitent an an out-door patient
at Nottingham Uoiital, Kugland, but was nut cured.
I aufTered the luoat agonizing pains in mjr bones, and
was coTered with Korea all over my body and liiulm.
Finally I ooni)ileU-ly lost all hope in that country, and
sailed fur America, and was treated at Kooaerrlt In this
city, aa well as by a prominent physician In New York
having no connection with the hoapitals.
I saw the advertisement of Swift's Hpecific. and I de
termined to give it a trial. I took six Ixittles and I can
say with great Joy that they have cured nie entirely. I
am aa sound and well as I ever was in my life.
