HE TELLS OF HIS VISIT TO THE LOUIS I ANA CHATAUQUA, Ami the Great Good That institution ioe -How the Lottery option Ai,rbs ail OtherH in New Orleans. I 8 J On mv return from Missouri I ! found a pleasant call awaiting me tp J visit the Louisiana Chatauqua at Ruston. We scanned all the maps in the house to find Ruston, but in vain. However, our postmaster found it upon his, and pointed out the way and I was off". It was a lontj tiresome jouriiey, for I was tie li.md nine Vimit'c Qt Ri rni i nwhm anH two hours at Meridian, and seven was hot awful hot but I was re paid for it all in the pleasure and profit of my visit. From Vicksburg West I traversed a country I had; never seen part of it a strange and curious country. Many miles ot it were dark impenetrable swamps, all afloat with , wpter .knd studded with giant cypress'trees clad in that long weeping moss that seems to be in mourning for its own solitude. Every few miles there was a change a welcome, pleasing change for the ground was lifted up a little and the axe of the pioneer had cleared the land half a century ago, and it was dry and thousands of acres were in sight, all covered with big cotton and bigger corn that seemed to be crowd ed for room, and must keep growing higher and higher to find it. One or two respectable one-story houses were sufficient for the white folks on a large plantation of two or three thousand acres. The negro tene ments were cheaper, but all were white-washed and all were set up oir poles or posts about six feet high so as to be safe from the overflow or the crevasse when it comes. But little work will make a bale of cotton or seventy-five bushels of corn to the acre, and so the law of compensation comes- in and pays for the risk of sometimes losing a crop and being washed away. The rich' Richardson had the best improved but there was no crop farm I saw, on it on the railroad side. The water abated too late to plant. But about forty miles Westof the Mississippi you seem to emer.ge into a different country a kind of half highland or second bottom, and every few miles you cross a river or bayou you pass in sight of the experi mental farm- that is said to be the finest and best managed in 'all the South you cross the Ouachita at Monroe, the best town between Vicksbure and Shreveport a town of 5,000 people and growing rapidly. The houses and lawns and shubbery, the stores and stocks of goods, the oil mills and compresses, the saw mills and shingle mills and manufacturing establishments all indicate a busy, prosperous community. How our children would feast their eyes upon the long rows of pecan trees that shade the, street and drop their oily fruit in season to the tune of twenty bushels from a single tree. How our wives and daughters would go into raptures over the beautiful cape jessa mines and oleanders that everywhere abound. I domiciled here for a night with Judge Gundy, a Georgian, who came here in his youth and has grown up with the country and re ceived and deserved its honors. Good people from Columbus and Macon and Milledyeville are here, and all have prospered. Arriving at Ruston, I found the Chautauqua in session. Jt was really a session 01 the educational conven tion of the State of Louisiana, and this distinguished body was the guest of the Chatauqua, , and the exercises of both were happily commingled together. Here were professors of Tulane University and of the State University at Baton Rouge ; and the college of Mansfield and other insti tutions, and here were the State com missioners of education and of the normal schools, and the school of technology, and here were the book makers and the book publishers, and here were many of the cultured and charming women of the State, who were engaged in teaching or in liter ary pursuits, and here were editors and reporters of the leading journals and papers of the State, Altogether it as a notable gathering of notable men and women at a notable place, for Ruston, though only six years old, has many advantages that older and larger places have not got. Her mineral springs are but a mile away, and near to them the Chatauqua has been planted and is already a thing of beauty, and I trust will be a joy forever. For three days this aduca tional association held its varied and interesting sittings. It was presided over by Col. 1 nomas L. Boyd, a gentleman of elegant manners and great learning, and the addresses and essays read or spoken upon educa tional topics were of the highest order. I met Professor Chambers' there, the author of "A Higher History of the United States," a work just issued from the New Orleans press of F. F. Hanson ct Bro,, and which has al ready found univeral favor in that State. The people of Ruston are wise. What else couUl so elevate the tone and character of their young people f I What else inspire them to seek a high n. , f. , er plane than balls and blliard and dime novels and baseball eixcursions f and his churchmen burn women tor What else invite good people to 1 witches, and so did General Jackson move to their town to educate, their ' drive to the races in his coach-and-children ? As a business proposition ' four and carry his gold and bet it, they can well aftord to spend $5,000 and so did John Calvin consent to a year on that Chatauaua. As a the death of Servetus because he re- moral Dronosition its benefits to the rising generation cannot be estimat- ed. There is not a fanner in Lincoln pa fish but should take a share or two shires or five shares of stock in it. Its dividends will come early and last long. It is no Utopian dream to think of Ruston as an educational center a Monteagle yes, better than Monteaele, for here is a new . ' town with hospitable people who Pen wide their doors and give wel- com.5 ft a11 who.corae here are medical springs whose healing waters wui invigorate both teacher and pupil. What if every town could have such 'privileges ! What if Car tersville could have a chatauqua once a year, and tbr.even a week have the college 'professors of our State to 'discourse to our people on subjects that. most deeply concen us in the chil dren. Why not ? But the great, absorbing question in Louisiana now is the lottery the hydra-Weaded monster of usfamy and shame, as Dr. Palmer calls it. A 1 fevv.days ago he made a speech in New Oneans that, it is said, has no parallel in modern, times for eloquent, thrilling' and; scathing denunciation. The Time-Democrat, which is. the paid organ of the lottery, tries in vain to arraign his address as revo lutionary. The Picayune heads its leading editorial "A Plea for Peace," and begs the doctor to temper down his language for fear it will result in .strife and blood. But it will not be tempered down. North Louisiana is a unit, and her people boldly declare that Morris shall not spend a dollar there for votes, neither with white or black. The charter expires next year and the people are to vote next April upon the question of its renew al. Morris offers the State a million dollars a year for thirty years for a renewal, and it is a tempting offer, for the; State is heavily in Sebt and needs money for educational purposes and for protecting the farmers from overflows and for charities and other things. New Orleans is pretty solid for the lottery, for it feeds and fattens on it. The Times-Democrat is said to receive $5,000 a month for a little advertising and a great deal of influ ence. It is the capital stock of the banks. It is directly or indirectly the liberal patron of churches and charities. It was even hinted that Dr. Palmer would be silent, for he declined to preach against it in his pulpit, and it was whispered that when Morris was married at his princely home on the Hudson, Dr. Palmer was sent for to perform the ceremony, and received a check for $5,000 for his service. But Morris mistook the nature of the man. Dr. Palmer has spoken and his burning denunciation is in everybody s mouth. ''He is easily the grandest and greatest man in Louisiana," said a distinguished gentleman to me. "and the people will follow where he leads. He stood by us in the Mafia and we will stand by him in the lot tery. It shall die. Our dear old State has been made the victim of heartless plunderers since the war and her people have endured what they could not help or remedy but we have honor left us and we will preserve it at all hazards. Your grand old State of Georgia dared to repudiate the bonds that were issued in corruption, but we could not. Our debt is now about fourteen . million dollars, and the most of it was con ceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity, but if Morris should offer to pay it all and wipe it out if we would give him the lottery for thirty years longer we would not do it." People abroad can form but little conception of the intensity of the issue that is now before the citizens of Louisiana. I knew nothing of it myself until I got there. In my first day's address at the chatauqua I was speaking of the widespread and alarming desire of our young men to find a short road to fortune to get something for nothing and I chanc ed to say : ?'If one young man draws a prize in a lottery, it sets a hundred wild to try their luck ;" and to my surprise, there was tumultuous cheer ing all over the large assembly. These people say it is simply an eftort to bribe the people to give them a charter to obtain money under false pretenses ; that it is a gigantic swindle upon the people of other States as well as their own that if Morris can aftord to pay a mil lion a year to the State for the priv ilege, and a million or two to buy the voters, and 35 per cent of the re ceipts "to agents and 10 per cent to the press, and even so much to Beauregard and Early and other officers, and save a million or two each year for himself, what chance has the ticket holder ? What is the matter with the mil lionaires ? When will they get enough ? Has the Creator ordained that a man who loves money shall always pursue it until he wrecks his soul upon the altar of Mammon ? It does seem so. I wish that Mr. Mor ris would stop and think. I wish he would reconsider, and say i "Well, I reckon I have made enough out of those people, and now I will let them alone." But he is enconraged by the press. The Times-Democrat is squarely for the lottery and it taunts Dr. Palmer with some old historical records ot his own Presbyterian church, wherein it appears tnat in 1822 that church had a lottery to raise money for church purposes and so did Cotton Mather fused to subscribe to a belief in the trinity, and so did other good men do bad things, but the world moves, and so does a higher civilization supersede that of the past, and the lottery must go. It has ceased to be vice, and is now a crime. But I had to say farewell to Rus ton and her people a good town; a good people. There are many who are natives to the manor born, but, as my friend, Judge Barksdale, said the woods are full of Georgians. They flocked around me with cordial greetings, and told how they were from Eldert, or Spalding, or MifscO gee, or Bibb, or qM Baldwin, and they talked tearfully about our grand old men who have passed over the river. Most of them came here at the close of the war, but there were some pioneers who emigrated away back in the forties. One man trayelf ed with me on my return, and' said he was going to South Carolina to visit his dear old mother once more before she died. His filial" devotion drew me closer to him, for already I begin to realize the inevitable the weaning of the children from the parents, .and it saddens our solitude to see them go. A lady called on me at Ruston a lady with Ber little boy and she said she was the daugh ter of a schoolmate of my wife when she was a child. Sweet little Sarah Dobbs. Yes, her mother was our teacher a good, sad-hearted woman whom everybody loved, and Sarah was her idol, her treasure, and now Sarah's child was before. me and was happily married and had a child of her own. Good gracious ! how old am I and how can such things be ? How glad ly will the boys and girls of Auld Lang Syne, in Lawrenceville , remem ber Sarah Dobbs, the beautiful child whom we once hid in the cupola of the schoolhouse and armed ourselves with sticks and rocks and thrashpoles to keep the sheriff from taking her away from her mother. And we did it we ran him oft aud I never was as proud of a victory as I was of that, and I am proud yet. Bill Arp. From Had to Wonte. The ordinary treatment of conta gious blood poisoning is td drive one poison from the system by introduc ing another. The result, in most cases, has been thai which usually follows a leap from the frying pan into the fire. To put it mildly, mer curial and other mineral poisonings have disadvantages 'which are hardly less serious than contagious blood poison. In either case the system is wrecked ; and yet there is no reason why humanity should continue to suffer. It is the office of S. S. S., to cure contagious blood poisoning. For that diseftse the medicine is surely a specific. And it is also its office to cure mercurial and other mineral poisoning. In short, S. S. S., is the great blood purifier. It destroys the germs of the contagious disease, and expels from the system all forms of mineral poisoning. It restores health and strength to the sufferer.

Bret Harte tells us how men go to sleep in California and wake the next morning to find themselves million aires. There are two men here who have not gotten rich in a single night' but who have made fabulous sums of money in the last few years. I shall tell the readers of the Chronicle briefly about these two young men, Hack burn and Willets. They are the owners of two splendid farms, one containing 100 acres near the city, the other, called "The Oaks," "con taining 2,000 acres, two miles aay. Six years ago, the first mentioned farm was purchased by them for $6,000 ; but they could only- pay $1,200 in 'cash. Four years agd, they bought "The Oaks" for $8,0067 paying only $2,000 in cash. Now what changes have occurred. They assured me that $160,000 at interest would not yield as great an income as does the farm, and that $100,000 would not buy what they now own. Grown rich in four years Sounds like a dream, doesn't it ? Yet what they have done can be done by others. Here are their receipts for this season : 10,000 bbls. cabbages, net'g $12,500 9,000 potatoes, 10 acres asparagus, 20 " beans, 20 " cucumbers, 10 " tomatoes, 36.5 '2,000 1,560 2,060 1,000 Total, $5556. The crop of cantalopes have not been considered, they not having yet been gathered, but the field in which they are growing is most beautiful. Then too, a tobaeco crop of eight acres is coming on from which they reasonably hope to realize $100' per acre It is beautiful, for I saw it. ! Still this is not all. They have 66 head of blooded horses, mules and colts, 180 head of fine cattle, 12s head of hogs (fine breed.) In connection with this stock farm is a dairy, which nets $300 a month. They .milk 36 cows twice a- day;. Every cow is driven .to.. the stall at night, where revolving brakes confine them. Stalls for these cows, thirty- six in number, are elevated from the ground several feet, and are, kept perfectly clean. A huge wind-mill with a thumping noise was pumping water into an ele vated tank, thus enabling all the stock to be watered in their stalls. The hum of machinery attracted our attention to another part ol the yard where twenty or thirty hands were busy sawing lathes and boards, and making boxes for'the shipment of truck. "We try to make every' thing we need," said Mr. Willets. "We make our own carts, do our own blacksmith work and make all our fertilizers. We employ three man agers. We have never failed to make money during any year, though prices have been unusually good this year. We raise no cotton. I feel sure wre couia not maice money on cotton at ten cents a pound. ' W.e raise no corn except on swamp land, but we prefer to buy it. We farm on the intensive plan, and (spent $10,000 last year for fertilizers.

W hen One of the most interesting of his torical duels took place iri the sum mer of 1843. .A young gentleman of Natchez, newly wed, was on his bridal trip. He had been to New York . collecting bills for Nat chez merchants and was spotted by a gang t f sharpers. With his wife he took the steamer Orleans, of the Diamond jo line, at Pittsburg, and between that city and Louisville he was invited into a game of 20-card poker an interesting varitation upon th' usual sport,which involves only the ten-spots and cards above that denomination.

Now it chanced that this preacher like man asked for a drink at the bar, and in paying for it he gave a $100 bill from what seemed to be a well-stuffed wallet. The gamblers who had won the young man's money thought that another pigeon was at hand to pluck. They asked him if he' would join them in a little game, and he said yes. At first it struck the stranger tha the ante, $5, was a little high considering the fact that there was no limit, but he kept on and did not murmur when he found himself $500 out of pocket. He put up a blind and the man at his left onhy three of them were play ing straddled it with $15, but that was only the begining. First one of his opponents raised and then the bther until there was an enormous sum n the pot. PresenUy they both "called," and he saw the dealer slip a card to the player who had made the Straddle. Like a flash the preacher-like man drew a murderous-looking knife and said quietly, but firmly, to the gentleman at his left : "If you lay down your hand and six cards are, found in it I will kill fir you ; The third man who had dealt, shoWeti a lull hand and the preac her like -stranger swept all the money on the table, into his hat. Of course there was a row immediately, and tTie gambler who had been threatened at once challenged the winner to fighfhim. The latter assented, ask ing merely 'five minutes for prepara tion. He used the time in conveying the cash, which amounted to nearly $106,660, to the wife of the youth whom the sharpers had defrauded, sayings "as he delivered to her the amount; '-If -1 don't come back two tliJrdsipf.tli.is belongs to you and the other third to me,." Then he went out on tTie deck and friends quickly arranged'the duel which was to take pktee. ' The "fwo men were placed opposite one- another on the two wheel-houses of the steamboat, and wore told to fire at the word. They did so, ana the gambler, shot through the body, fell into the river. His adversary sought the' young woman into whose hands he had delivered the 'money and reclaimed the third part, -which represented his stake in the game. The remaining two-thirds litgav'e her, ' saying merely, that it Oepresehted the sum of which her husband had been -robbed. In fact, it Was within $ loo of what he had tost. Her gratitude and his may well b'e imagined, but it was .only with some dTfficiflty th'at' they persuaded Kiin to-admit, thftt his name was James Bowie. The preacher-like man .was none other, than the famous "investor of the bowie knife recog nized at that time as the most formi dable fighter -with any weapon known in that' age ; of desperate heroism. This Would seem like a lancy sketch, save for the fact-that it is a historical incident. . .. ' For the complexion use Ayer's Sarsanarilla.

"No. sir, boss." "Well, sir, one or the other of us is lying, now which is it ?" "You see boss, dar is dis dilfurance you have got a license te.r Jie an' I hain't." ('Stand aside, sir."
