THE BATTLE-OF HATTIN. The lacture on tha ** Battis of Hattin,” by Sir Enight Bob Morris, LL.D., before Apollo Com- mandery No. 1, at their asylum, Tuesday avening, ‘was listened to with much interest and plessure by the Bir Enights aud their lady guests, of whom 300 were present. The assemblage was prezided over by Ewinent Bir Knighs Myers, .Commander of Na. 1, and among the suditory were Sir Enight Guraey, the Bev. Dr. Locke, and Bir Emgois BStevens, Bonney. Goodrich, Ray- nolés, Burnbam, Haslitt, and McMurdy. The lecture opened with a summary of the crusedes and the military movements which led 0 the occupaiion of the Holy Land by the Chris- tisn powers, A. D. 1036-1089; the origin and history of the Latin Kingggm of Palestine, with particnlar reference to Godfrey de Bouillon, tho tiret King, a0d aa account of his tomb; the ex- ploits of the great milicary orders, the Templars ad Hospitallers, from their origin to the battls of Hattin, 1167; togezher with a description of the edifice upon fount Morish occupied for seventy vears by the Templurs. The grand eummons of April, 1157, sent ont by Guy, pinth Eiog of Jerusalem, calling all the military paw- exs of his Kingdom to the grest Water-Fount at Sephoris, near Nazareth, brought tha lecturer to the period when iho shadows cf the coming doom began to darken the iand. The march of Princes, Bishops, and the procession of the Holy Cross to tho rendezvous at Sephoris was vividly depictured; and, by meaus o: a map, the epproach of Balsdin from tho northeast wss marked out, and the movements of the contend- ing forces were critically followed from n? 1, the day of the battle near Moun¢ Tabor, to July -5, the crowning dissster of Hattin. Lastly, the lecturer depicted the three-dsys’ fight as he, " conceived it from his visit to the battle-ground’ 1z May, 1868. The deeds of matchless valar,— of the courage of despair,--of perseverance nato death, which this contest provoked, have rarely been equaled in the history of war. The steady {front of the Christiang, only crumbling as the Enights fell dead one by one, the tortures of - Ehirst, the tremendous cavalry charges of the Saracecs, the loss of the Holy Cross, and the Enal settling down of darkness upon the strick- 2o host, were described in giowing terms. The judgment of Saladin, and the murder of the gal- t survivers, terminated the lecture. The entertainment terminated with the reci- tation by Dr. Morris of his poem, * The Master Cometh and Calleth for Thee.” The choir of the Commandery furnished excellent music, Sir Enight W. H. Catler prosiding st the organ. THE BENEYOLENT SOCIETT. The annual mceting of the Ilinois Masons® Benevolent Society was held at held at Princeton Wednesday. The President, Dewitt C. Cregier, P. G. M., occuped the Chair, and A. 8. Chap- man acted a8 Secretary. There were 200 mem- Vers prosent, aud about 3,000 represented by TOXY. Ly The regular business was commenced by the delivery of an addiess by the President, in which e sat forth the entirs workings of the society for the past year, and its promise of, usefulness for the future. The Finance Committes, to whom the yearly reports of the Secretary sod Treasurer had been referred, ngurted that they had examined them and found them correct and satisfactory. ‘The permanent fund March 31, 1875, amounted to £31,254.25, and, by s two-thirds vote, the Board of Directors were iustructed to invest tho moaey, less £10,000, in United States bonds or real'estate (farm lands),—one or both.—at the largest rate of interest atiminable consistent with perfect safety. Tha Treasurer’s report showed the receipts for the year to have been $179,087.25, of which £138,257.20 was paid to the heirsof deceased members—leaving a balance ot §38,517.33. The memberstup April 30, tho date of the re- ports, was 4,872. The deaths wers 33. On motion, the address of the President was referred to » Comitice consisting of Hender- son, of Princelon, Cuningham, of Urbapa, Wel- Ier, of Cairo, Cleveland, of Bock Island, Avery, of Neponset, Franks, of Chicago, and Zisgler, of Chenos, with instructions to report upon the recommendations at the next annual mesting. An election for three Directors resulted in the choice of J. C. Calkine, of Galesburg; J. F. Nach. of Ottawa, aud A. A.

THE SUPREME LODGE. The annual session of the Supreme Lodge of the World was commenced in Washington Tues- day. Nearly all the delegations were fall, and the meeting proved an interesting ane. In his report, the Supreme Chancellor men- tioned the steps which had been taken to releass the Bupremo Lodgo from debt, ssying that *‘ One year ago the Supreme Lodge was bankrupt and without credit; to-dsy it is nearly freo from debt, solvent, and with ample creditin the commer- cial world.” The following Deputy Bupreme Chancellors bave been lyioinud and are now incommission : Thomas” Walker, 8t. Jobns, N. B.; Leo Harm- burger, Montreal, Province of Quebec; J. M. Otis, Rutlang, Vt.; J. E. Elliott, Jackeonville, Fla.: Henry M. Smali, Naw Orleavs, La.; Al bert Coben, Little Rock, Ark.; J. R.

Calon, Walla Walla, W.T.; David Da Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands.” George H. With, of London, Eng., has becn commissioned D. 8. 0. Noother foreigm commissions were issued, the Suprome Chancellor bslieving it unwise to attempt to in. troduce the Order throughout the world until it was in a better condition in this couatry. He said on this point: * With many jurisdio- tions in & very feeble condition and umasble to sustain themgelves, and tho Suprems Lodge em- barrageed with an onerous debt, we could not give time or_money ta build up sbrosd. The comiug year I trust I shall be able to take steps for the more general introduction of the Order in foreign lands. Much, however, will depend upon the provision made for the support of the Supreme Lodge, and the means at onr disposal for doing this much-desited work. I have re- ceiyed spplications from members who were visiting foreign countries for commissions to ingtitute lodges, buz have no: spthorized them do sq, preferring to yeceive from them and persons resident in those countries assurances that dsnlch lodges are desred and would be sns- tained.” “There are two good lodges in England, with about 300 members, sud sdding daily. The report concludes as followa : Not only shonld immediate steps bs taken for es-: tablishing the Order on » firm basiain England. but active measures for introducing it into other Sistes and countries. It will require years of labor, sfter the inatitution of ‘s lodgs in foreign lands, o convince the miasses of the utility and benefits derived’ from our Ordér, Let the first work be'done at once, and done well, and then abide the years of scrutiny and test i aa Collw befora i will eceive tho Bearty ap- of tho and enter upon a rapid and yuo- LTl growihe i ritusl 1 SIrdy bremwELtod the German Jangusge, and may be used in all coun- tries where thia ixnguage is spoken.

How the Business is Flour- ighing in Chicago. Where the Grand Central Office Is Located. Ingenious Arrangements for Avoiding Intrusion, Gathering of the Clans to Hear the Numbers. Location of a Few Subsidiary Policy- ) Shops Bomething over a year ago the lottery business as a flonrishing institution In this city, haviog an elogantly fitted up central offics on Monros streot, and ‘numerous agencies scattered about through the city, with a largo body of runners. The business was carried on' with great pub- licity; advertisemonts of results of drawings appeared in the papers, the foolish and ignorant poured in their money, and everythiog was ae- rens for the lottery men. Instigated therato by the goadings of the press, the authorities con- ciuded to notice what waa under their noses, and the lottery shops were *pulled.” That dons, the police agan settled down to placid content- ment. The lottery men, however, had found Chicago by far the' xichest field for their peculiar enterprise in the whole country and did not intend to relinquish it. Accepting the hint given by the police, the bueiness was thenceforth carried on with such small amount of secreoy as was meccssary to escape the dotectives, and the proportions of their business were only temporarily curcailed. A FAR MORE SERIOUS CHEOK to their business was interposed by the judicial inhibition of the press from the publication of their advertisements or reports of drawings, but, notwithstanding this drawback, & large traffic i lottery ticketa is carried on-in this city. But Fhile in almost every bar-room one hears of their being on eale, and onp csn readily Siad & dealor when invest- ment is desired, the policc remain placid ignorance and the good-natured patrol- man lounges in front of the policy shop and ex- changes greetinga with the runuers, THE EXTENT OF POPULAR FOLLY is marvelous, but it would seem to any one un- acquainted with the flourishing condition of the Iottery business, that even folly conld not take that form. The gaming table affords hundreds of chances of gaining large sums of money where the lottary affords one. The priaciple on which Jotteries arp conducted is about as follows : A large number of fools, say 10,000, put monoy into the hands of a company of sharpers, for thio privilege of drawing lots' for ball of what they pay out. Tha gamblers game of keno in very similar to lotteries in principle, but the gamblers are not such uoconscionable rascals 23 the lottéry men. Each one playing keno pays a certain sum, ranging from 25 centa to 1, for his card, and the ‘' bank™ takea 10 per cent of the whole amount collectsd, and the wiuner re- ceives “the baiance. "In a lpttery the process is simplified by making the drawiogs according to the nomber of the tickets, and insiead of = modest 10 per cent the Jottery men grab from 40 10 75 per cent, sceording to the degreq of their rapacity; FOLICY. Besides the regular lottery business there is a amaller apecies of lottory carried oa to bring the opportunity to gambie n thess chances within the range of tha poorest. The schemes of these Yary, but the’ following specimen will explain their character: ' Every morning and afternoon seventy-five numbers are placed in the wheel of a lottery in Louisville, thus giving two draw- inge a day. The geventy-five numbars {o be put in are koown fothe agents hére, who issae 25- cent tickets for the opiion of selecting five numbers within the range of the seventy-five. ~When the drawings take piace twalve numbers aredrawn, aod are telegraphed to all ~the different sgencies. The person holding & 25-cent ticket who hus opamed 23’ many as threo numbers of those drawn receives $£5, winning nineteen times ‘the amount of tho siake. If the fqo} investing his maney should make somo inquiry as WIS CHANCES OF WINNING, the schemo ia explained something after this fashion : " If the requirpment wag ¢ camae one number ouy of seventy-five vith ouly one draw- ing, tlie adyerse odds would ke seveniy-four, but a8 thoro are twelye numbers drawn, the odda are reduced to 12.74 or G 1-§ againat the peison betting that & certain number will be draivu. ~ As three numbers are to be named, the odds are increased to 181¢; but as tho person beiting names five’ numbers, the drawfag of threg of which will gain the prize, the odds - are again reduced. Thus, since the offer of the lot- tery dealer ia to give $6 for 25 copts,—that is, 19 for 1,—tho scheme i3 5 gopd one for the person ba:mfl;. far, as between ths lottary-desler and himgelf, the odds are alightly in g favor. : THE FALLACY of the sbove reasoning will bo apparent to any person of average intelligence, but with the ig- norant negroes, who are the chief patrons of this scheme, it goes down readily. By going thirough the calculation of the real value of the chance, tha odds egainst the purchaser of the ticket are found to be a8 89 to 1, whilo the prize offered is only 19 limes his share of the invest- ment. In thiscage, the percentage in favor of the bank is exasctly 50; o, in other words, the buy- er's chanco is the loss of half his stake. ‘The regular lottery achemen aze gzanonfly easy to be understood, the inducement in them being the remote chance of makiug a large coup. Not satisfled with the enormons grab they make in arcangiog the scheme, the lottery men tax the winners of prizes 15 per cent and upwards for “agents’ expenses.” The enormous profits of the business explain why 1t is so persistently followed in spite of the inhibition of the law, but the wonder is that ‘while faro, roulsite, and rouge-et-noir are 60 acasssible, that foals denir- ing to gamble away their money shoald seléét games in which the odds are 8o insuperably against them. 3 ¢’ 3 i SUPERSTITIONS are verv prevalent among thosa sccustomed to buying lattery tickets, A dresm which can bo construed 1n any way tq refer to certain num- bers {8 considerad to be a lucky omeu, snd the bappy dreamer transfers all the glittering pro; ido of the occasion into a day dream, which ha h“El to lus heart.

Thq investor explaing his failyre by spme mistake in interpreting the auguries, some migconception in their meaning, which must ba guarded sgaipgt next time. A favorite olicy smong “sll gamblers is to get ome noviee to ‘act for them. A fool for ~ luck” s a proverb they have a firm belief in. The story is told thata little apple-girl oice went ioto a policy-office in thig cicy, and one of tho habitues of “the place having igduced her to selact some numbers, bet on them nnd wdn & considerable sum. Far some time after that there was a hesvy run on apple- girl, boot-blacks, etc., to ‘act as propheta. !‘; is a digtracting thing just to misq a prize, i ¥ ETUICIDES have resulted from the dejection caused by hav- ing selected numbers which happencd to be near the winping one. The shock to ~ cupidity at having seemingly just missed fortune is g0 great 28 in Some instances to throw the mind from its balaote, To guard against sucn inflictions upon mind or health., and protect the busingss from puch soandalous occurrences, it is the custom smong lottery-denlers to give small rizes o all the numbers approximating oso tsking the grest prizes, o as to enso the d:::sointmen; of the unsuccessfal. This is required by law in Havaos, and is in general practice in all the States where tha lot- tery business is tolerated. 1t wonld be impossible to give the number of agencies or any precise description of the extent of the business in Chicago, but, inclading the various policy-shops, there are probably not less than forty or fifty places in the city where tha lottery business It its varions forms is carried on, Alany of theso aro ephemeral, fy-by-night concerns that the police conld hardly {up track of, bat it is not ev{litable to their perspicaity that a business of such large dimensions should be altogether concealed from them. i THE of the Tanterilly Iottnre {5 in the mest frequent- ed gection of the city, and tho charagtar of the businesa is vory thinly disguised.

A Chapter of Mishaps in the Lifs of the Famous Gori\la-Hunter, For The Qhicago Tridbune. This adveotarer, who has captivated bath old aund young boys by his exciting * Stories of Life in the Gorilla Country " and ** Wild Life in & Jungle,” had some personal experiences while in the Ashango-land that he ha not chosen to put upon paper. A story has been told ms by & re- turned misgionary, who was for msny years at Gaboon on the African Coast, and proved to be s friond in need tp the venturesome Freoch- Americag traveler. It ehows that a strong will and s stout heart will buoy one up in the midst of difficulties, and repeats the old sayipg that * Truth is stranger than fiction.” Beveral years ago, Paul Du Chailal, then quite & young man, engaged in hig first, and probably his laat, commercial venture. He barrawed some 916,000, freighted & schoorer with merchandise, and started for the African Coast, thinking -that would be & favorable place for speculating. He undoubtedly expected to speculate in a different manner {rom that in whick he was afterward so succesaful. Armving at that part of the coaat of Upper Guinea that ia under the control of ‘the French, ke wonld not landa on account of the ' shoals, and g0 was ohliged to use lighters. Thess were very o pensive, and, when he gained the port, thg Goy- ernor saxd that ho must pay for them. Da Chail- la declared that he would not, and insisted that it was the business of tho French to bear tho expense o” landing the merchandise thac was bound for their porta. As he wonld not yisld, all tbo goods shat ho had brought to shore were seized, Da Chaillu then hired a small boat, filled it with what was left of his ¢argo, and started it for Gaboon, a port several hucdred miles {arther south. Ho himself took Lis most, valuable poa- sesxions, snd went by steamer, but the steamer was delayed for some reason or other; tha ves- gel, meanwbile, stayed outside the harbor wait- ing for it to come,—then, becoming impatient, ssiled away, and was never heard of more. . Thus cisappeared the cargo that was to bave brought Paul Dn Chaullu a fortuge. He, how- aver, found ‘a home with the Rev. Mr. Walker, & missionary of the Americas Board. But, béfore many woeks, there came an arder from the French Government for his arrest. An officer told Mr. Welker privately that be mast send s guest away, or he would be obliged to geize him. Mr. Waker accordingly sent mm to some friendly Dpatives in the interior; there he " Bpent his time in bunt- ing excursions nnd in eollecting valuable speci- mops. But before long he was warued again. This time Mr. Walker determined to get him oat of the cluiches of the French law by sending him to s small island lying off the coast under Spanish suthority. He succeeded in Retting m back to Gaboon without detection, and, lace one evening, Paul Du Chailla put himself and all his worldly entedts into s light canoe manned by balf a dozen of the mauves. Alr. Walker gave them full directious as to the vovage, and charged them to keep off tho shoals. Early the Dnext morning the gocd missionary was awakened by one o tho self-same darkeys, who told him that they had been swamped, totally ship- wrecked, and that Du Cbailln was strandnd somewhere ou the beach, Mr. Walker went in search of him, snd found him several miles up the coast, arraved in the coatume of his favorite gorilla. A sorry plight, surely,—baked, hungry, and penniless, -under arrest from the- French Government, and shipwrecked on the unknows shore of a barbarous country. Mr. Walker fur- pished him with clothes, and starled him off again, this time successfully. He spentsoms tinie on the island, and made many valuable col- lections ; but just asthey were completed, and be was thinkiog of returning to this country, the mission-houge in which his specimens wers stored was burned, and everything was lost. Not long after this, the order for his srrest was revoked, and ho went back to the French etation satisfied for & time, probabls, with Life on the African Coast. QUIXoTE QUICKSIGHT.
