Farrar, of New Or leans, in an interview with the New York Herald. He says: "I am opposed to the extension of the Lottery charter even if they should bind themselves to pave the State with gold. An extension of that char ter means the perpetual domination of a corrupt power in politics and the political slavery of the people of this State. No arrangewent the State can make with the Lottery is anything more than a revocable license. Such an agreement, as decided by the Su preme Court of the United States, is outside of the domain of contract and entirely within the domain of police power; therefore, it rests entirely in the good will of the granting power. The grant of a lottery charter being, therefore, precarious, the Lottery Company will be compelled to protect it. The more valuable the grant, the greater the incentive to protect it. Now, the only way they can protect .such a grant, is by perpetually con trolling the majority of every Legisla ture that may hereafter be elected in this State. They must, therefore, be a perpetual factor in politics, and a factor only in corruption, because it is only by the exercise of such wide spread corruption in the future as they notoriously exercised in the past that they can hope to control a majority of all future legislatures. They will then be brought into such relations with the whole gamut of politics that they will necessarily end by controlling the whole politics of the State. The re sult of this will be that all honorable and' independent men will be excluded frrna public office, and no man who will now bow his head to the degrad ing yoke can ever hope to obtain any political honor.

WAsmHIoGTo, April 21.-Consul McLean, in his report to the Depart nment of State, calls attention to the wonderful success of sisal culture to the Bahamas, and expresses the firm belief thit it may also be very success ful in ttie'Gulf section of the United States, as quantities of the sisal plants are found growing in a native state aleog the coast of Florida. ]Re says of the industry in the Ba bamas, that there is no doubt of suc cessatid a source of wealth to all con eerned, as it has passed beyond the stage :eperiment.

The New York Herald's Syracuse special correspondent says: I have verified a report of a very interesting nature, which has materi alized into a fact of great significance, and cannot fail to attract the widest attention both in Europe and Ameri ca. It is nothing more or less than the announcement made to very intimate friends here of the marriage of Miss Winnie Davis, the eldest daughter of Jefferson Davis, the late President of the Southern Confederacy, to Mr. Al fred Wilkinson, of this city, the grand son of Samuel J. May, the great Abo litionist leader. The story of the courtship is most romantic. Miss Winnie Davis came North some four years ago to visit Dr. Thomas Emery, of the firm of D. Mc Carthy & Co., in this city. It was her first visit to the old Abolitionist strong hold, and she was consequently quite anxious to meet the society of Syra cuse. At one of the receptions given iri her honor she was introduced to Mr. Alfred Wilkinson. It wvill be re membered that Miss Winnie received a very cool reception in one or two houses here, and this treatment of the "Daughter of the Confederacy" is said to have brought her and Mr. Wil kinson in very close relations. He re sented the coolness shown her, and gallantly championed her cause. The friendship thus engendered between them blossomed into love in due time. Miss Winnie, later on, went to Europe with a cousin of hers, and is still there. Mr. Wilkinson, some two months ago, crossed the ocean to see Miss Davis and spent several weeks with her sightseeing on the continent, and pressing his suit. When he re turned they were betrothed. Mr. Wilkinson is a bright and prom isingyoung lawyer here, about twenty eight years of age. His income is quite fair; but Mr. Wilkinson is not a rich man. It is a love match. The young man, however, moves in the very best society here, and stands highin the estimation of the commun ity. The actual time for the wedding has not been set, but it is understood that the date will be in the near fu ture. It is vaguely hinted that there is no very remote connection between the European trip and the e.dding trousseau. WILL CURE CROUP ! TERREBONNE PARISH, Oct. 1st, 1888. Mn. F. GocAux: Dear Sir,-A few nights ago my boy (aged nine years) woke up at 2 o'clock with a very bad case of croup. Re membering what you told me of your treat ment of your own child in a similar case, I immediately gave him a dose of your Anti Asthmatic mixture and made him inhale the smoke of the powder. I noticed a slight change for the better and in 15 minOtes, gave him another dose of the mixture which seem ed to relieve him considerably. I continued to give him the mixture every 15 minutes (2 tea-spoonsfull at a time) and at half past two smoked him again, in just one hour be was en tirely cnred. Although he has had the croup before, I had never seen him so bad and I was really very anxious, but thanks to your mix ture (which by the way I am never without) I think I saved my boy's life. If this can be of any use to you, you are at liberty to use it and refer to, Yours truly, EDGARD J. RICHARD, Gen'l Merobandise Store, A BEAUTIFUL O cbY. In answer to a correspondent the Louisville Courier-Journal gives the following: "To settle a dispute, please give the proportions of a beautiful body. I mean beautiful from an artistic point of view, not an athletic one. J. M. J." The height of the body should be exactly equal to the distance between th tips of the middle fingers of each hand when the arms are fully extend ed. Ten times the length of the hand, oreseven and a half times the length of the foot, or five times the diameter of the chest from one arm-pit to the other, should also gis e the height of the whole body. T b distance from the junction tf the thighs to the ground should be the same as from that point to the crown of the head.

POPE LEO XIII. HIS VIEWS ON THE LABOR QUESTION. The London Herald prints the re port of an interview with the Pope: In discussing the labor question His Holiness dwelt upon the necessity for improving the moral condition of both workmen and employes. He said that he intended to form a committee in every diocese in the world whose duty it would be to call the toilers together on every feast and rest (lay, and discuss their duties and teach and inspire them with morality. Sound rules of life, said the Pope, must be founded upon religion. The committees which he proposes to form are to consist of workmen or of those sympathizing with workmen, and a bishop is to be at the head of each committee. Referring to a suject of a Eurepean disarmament he said ,the mjlitary life surrounded thousanlds of young men with violent and immoral inflences and crushes and degrades them. Armies drain countries of their wealth. They withdraw labor from the soil, overtax the poor, impoverish the populace, set the people against each other, and intensify national jeal ousies. They are anti-Christian. The doctrine of arbitration as accepted by America is the true principle, but most of the men controling Europe do not desire the truth. Merit Wins. We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion. Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled rem, edies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to re fund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great popu larity purely on their merits. Wm. Clegg, Druggist. THE LAST TIME HE SAW HIM. The fortunes of war are strange. One day in the Southern Hotel at St. Louis, a few months ago, J. B. McCullagh, the editor of the Globe Democrat, was sitting reading a news paper when a gentleman walked up, and extending his hand, said: '-H9w do you do, Mr. McCullagh?" The editor put out his hand and said: "How do you do, sir?" "You don't seem to know me," the stranger remarked. "Oh, yes, I do," said Mr. McCullagh "Well, who am I?" enquired the stranger. "I'll answer you in this way," said Mr. McCullagh. "The last time I saw you was in 1863, in the pilot house of the gunboat (naming it) in the river before Fort. Donelson. 'There were three of us in the pilot house-you, myself, and the pilot when a shell struck us, carrying away the pilot house, and killing one man and wounding another. I was un hurt. Now, if it was Morrison was killed by that shell, your name is Reilly; and if it was Reilly who was killed, you are Morrison. I remem ber your voice perfectly, but I cannot call your name." Mr. McCullah was right. , The man who stood before him was Reilly, the pilot, who was not killed. I-X-L Liver Pills.

A dispatch from Augusta, Ga., says : Few fights have been more bit ter than that waged by the southern cotton planters, individually and as alliance men, on the jute bagging trust. Rather than use the jute arti cle, planters have sent cotton to this market, the second largest inland one of the country, covered with sheeting and pine straw bagging, at a net loss I of over a dollar a bale. Pine straw, bear grass, palmetto and Spanish bay onet fibers have been used, but found objectionable in one way or another. Wm. F. Jackson, a young lawyer of this city, began about six months ago experimenting with southern stalk fiber. He secured a machine patent ed to develop South American fibers, and began running cotton stalks through. He removed the pulp and skin from the stalks by a heavy pres sure and slow rolling process, water. carrying off the whole residue.. He took the fiber to a. carding machine and secured an article of about the same tenacity and color as jute yanks. At the jute bagging factory of I. C. Todd, of Patterson, N. J., he was three days getting his mill into shape for weaving. Mr. Todd, an experien ced man in the bagging business, pro. nounced the cotton stalk article all that could be asked by the trade. Mr. Jackson has just returned from New York and the cotton circles here are jubilant. He has his process cov ered by letters patent in this country, Canada, Mexico, India, Central Amer ic and all the European countries. He can pay $2 a ton for the stalk de livered at railroad stations and manu facture at 71 cents a yard-a price that defies the jute men to understand at pro t-an article out of what has been a nuisance, the stalk, for which the farmer will now find a ready mar ket. It is estimated that $8,000,000 that went for jute bagging will be kept in the country. Mr. Jackson makes a good business showing. By trial his bagging is shown to be less imfiammable. than jute. It weighs about 2t to the yard and on as average 7 yards are requi red to a bale. Mr. J. J. Doughty; a cotton expor ter, says that not a man in a thousand who handles cotton every day could detect at first glance a difference in the cotton stalks and jute bagging., The local article is somewhat softer and a shade darker when close cqm parisons are made, but it will not tear. and takes marking legibly. Cotton circles are delighted, as the planter's odposition to jute has been a sore tri al to the merchants. The. annual stalk yield will bale three yearly crops of cotton. A prominent jute dealer saw the new bagging and was reticent. He did. not card to be interviewed. Mr. Jackson. has no schedule yet, but says the headquarters for his mills and offices will be in Augusta, though he may have to go over to Tennessee and Alabama iron fields to locate his ma chine shops.

Stanton, mate of the, schooner Addie Shaefler, now lyingat the market-house dock, while fishing for bass 300 miles off St. Augustine drew in his line and found entangled therein the strangest fish, if it is a fish that has ever been caught. This strange creature is about six feet long, pure white and scaleless. The head and face are wpnderfully, human in shape and feature. The shoulders ara well outlined and t much resemble those of a woman and the breasts are well defined and: show considerable development, while the hips and ab-. domen continue the human resem blance. In all there are four flippers, two of which are placed at the lower terminations of the body and give one the impression that nature made an effort to supply the strange creature with lower limbs. . Mr. Stanton confesses, to quite a fright on first sight of his quber prize,. which on being drawn on board .gve unttdance to a low moaning cry, which might easily have been mistaken foi the sobbing, of a baby. ' Itis extreme-j ly unfortunate that. Mr. Stanto. did not succeed in keeping. the creature alive, -which he thinks might have been done, as the strange qbject.lived. two days after being .taken. TherA4 die Sheafler has been thronged al day by curious visitors, who.express mach. wonder and astonishment,. at , the. strange object. Mr. Stanton after vi¶ sitiuig several ports and showing his queer catch, will donate it to the, Smithsonian ,Istitute. The fisk or, mermaid is in a large six feet jar, in alcohol. . By order of Gov, J. B, Gordon, e t eorgia, General Cpiumander of the Confederate Veterans, there will be held in Chattanooga, a general renag ion of sa-Confederates on July 18, _4 and 15 next.
