In 1843 ho camo to tho United Stntos by way of Jnmalca, landing at New Orleans. In 1830 ho went to Cincinnati, whorn his brother, who accompanied him to this country, was drowned In tho river on tho day they arrived. Tho following year ho was married In Cincinnati and went. to Mlllcrsburg, Ky., whero ho resided for M'veral years and whero ho was nn Inti mate frlmd of .lames O.

That body was known ns tho "Jackson legislature" and followed tho governor to Neosho, whero nrtlcles of secession were passed, and at tho approach of tho federal troops went to Arkansas.

"Have you counted the dots?" Is a ques tion that Is being nsked In all parts of Omaha and surrounding country by thu readers of The lice nnd by those who have had their attention called to tho prlzo offer mado by this paper. From the num ber of replies received thus far It Is evi dent that tho contest Is attracting wide spread Interest, nnd tho results of yesterday show further that hero has been no cessa tion In the work of counting. All sorts of schemes have been adopted by tho contestants to assure success. Ono enterprising woman cut out each speck with a pair of sensors nnd then counted them separately. Another purchased n powerful magnifying glass, thinking thereby to have nn easier thing of it. Many other methods have been pursued, but the prizes nre not won yet. The nnswers continue to vary as much ns they did nt first, nnd tho numbers submitted still range over a widespread scope. In all tho list of solutions there nre very fow which havo been anywhere near alike. For the benefit of those who Imnglno that It Is too late to attempt to enter tho lists, It may bo said and repeated that tbo contest is to bo decided by tho nearness of tho guesses to the actual number. There Is still plenty of room for all who wish to try. Tho widespread diversity of the numbers submitted and, In most cases, their distance from tho true answer, leaves tho contest In an unsettled state, with tho best chances for new answers from those who have not tried before. All contestants should remember tho con ditions of tho offer. No guess will bo re corded unless accompanied by the proper amount of money. Thoso unablo to come to tho oirico mny send their nnswers by mail and they will bo given the proper credit. See tbo dots in The Hee, read tho rules governing tho contest and then register your name for a prize.
