That a grand rapplomaatary 'drawing should take place In Hew Orleans, La., under the special super­ vision of this wmuiUt«Q, |ml that tuS names of all who had purchased tickets In any of the S3 lotteries, within the past ten years, should he pat into the wheel, and have an equal chance fa the drawing of unclaimed prises. fd.

A farmer living a faw miles from Aurora received one of these notices the other day. telling him that he had drawn a gold watch valued at #1*0 and that the percentage doe was 915.

' A woman wshHnfr in<tMs town be- Ing tired of theooaatant potatlfhs her husband, determined to try a operate remedy to cure him. One night he came itaggering into the house and said that he was a vvy sick man, and In a moment or two he was comfortably settled on the sofa in a drunkqn ileap. Rla face was a reddish ptirple, lila breathing heavy, and alto- gather he waa a pitiable objetit. The doctor was sent for posthaste, and mustard applied to his feet and hands. and felt his (fetiee, and examined him, and found that Kit waa only drunk, he said: *'lle #IH be all right In the morning.*' But iShe wife insisted that he was very stck, and that severe remedies must be used. "You must shave his head and apply blisters,* she urged, "or I r!ll send for some one who will.'* The husband's head was accordingly shaved closely and blisters applied.-- The patient lay all night in a drunken sleep, and, notwithstanding the blis­ ters, It was not till near morning that he began to beat about, disturbed by pain. About daylight he waked up to a most uncomfortable consciousness of blistered agony. "What does this mean? he said, putting his hands to the bandaged head. "Lie still--you in "isn't stir," said the wlfes "yon have been taken very sickV "I'm not sick.'* "O yes you are; you have brain fever. We have worked with yoa all night." "I should think you had," groaned the victim; "what's the matter with my feet?" "They are blistered." "Well. Fm better now--take off the blisters, doT he pleaded plteously. He was in a most uncomfortable State--his head covered w! th sores, and his feet and hands were still worse. "Dear," he said, groaning, "if 1 snould ever get sick in this way again, don't bo alarm­ ed and send for a doctor, above all, don't blister'me again." "O, indeed 1 will--all that saved you were the blisters, and If you ever Should have another such spell, I should be more frightened than ever, for the tendency, I am sure, Is to apoplexy, and from the next attack you #onld be likely to die, unless there were the severest measur­ es used," He made no further defense; suffice to say, ho has nerer had another attack siuce. • Near the.
