Lotteries. We are inclined to think such
Legislation Is necessary. II it is not, we

other indications Of mischief, which we

Singular Stratagsm. gentleman from
Boston refdtes The following singular al:
iair, which happened just before he le1
lhut place. A person had been taken W
and committed TO prison for passing coun.
Iterfeit bills. Shortly after a negro was
taken up and confined in the same room,
but was taken sick and died. The next
day coffin was provided and the body
put into it. Az people Of color are gen.
orally inferred in the evening by those OF
their own color, the cUffin was suffered to
remain until night in the room wita the
money maker. After the jailor and those
who accompanied him, had LETT the room,
he beihought himself the present would be
a favorable opportunity 10 make his es-
cape aud thereby avoid tho punishment
that awaited him.
When ail was still he took the corpse
out Ol the coffin and placed il IN his own
hammock, 60 into it bimse1 and turned
the lid down. In the evening the coffin
vas taken from the prison by four lussy
negroes, and conveyed him TO the bury
ing ground. When they arrived ut the
grave the coffin was set down with care,
and one Of them was about making a
speech upon the death Of their coInpan-
ION. Scarcely had he time to utter one
word Before the lid Of the coffin flew OPP
en-, aud the money maker jumped out and
made his escape-whilst the poor negroes
ran with great violence in all directions,
screaming 'de debil! de debl!! de deb
llMn The mistake was not discovered
ill the next day, and the person has not
been heard oil since.

jected. fortunately for them, they LETT
the place before the fact became general
ly known that they had gained admit
tance.

A young gentleman having occasion 10
ask lady Tor the snufers across the Ia

"Most beautiful, accomplished, and
charmed lady, will your ladyship, by IN
unmerited and undeserved condescen-
sion OF your infinite goodness, please to
extend to your most obsequious, devoted
and very humble servant, that pair Of ig-
nipotens digestors, that may exasperate
the excresccnces Of the nocturnal cylin-
dric luminsry, in order that the refulgen'
brightness of its resplendent brlliuncy
may dazzle the vision of our ocular optics
more potcntly."

The project Of railroad from Mobile
to some point on the Mississippi, the ad-
vantagcs Of which were warinly urged
last summer in the Mobile papers, is a
bout to be carried into execution. A bill
has been introduced into the Legislature
Of Louisiana Tor the incorporation Of a
company 10 construct a rail road from Ba-
ton Rogue to Mobile. Strong objections
are made to the bill in the New Orleans
papers, as the road would evidently be OF
advantage to Baton Rogue at the expense
of the former city.

We have private advices, says the New
] York Mercantile Advertiser of Tuesday,
that Mr. Webster will soon come forward
with bill to extend the charter of the
Bank Of the United States for four years
beyond its present chartered limits, under
proper restrictions--restor,ng to it IT'S
chartered rights. Reserving to Congress
the right to charter another Bank in 1896,
when the charter Of the present Bank shal
expire.
This plan, If adopted, will Immediate
lly restore public confidence, and remedy
any evil hereafter to be aPprehended from
the winding up ofthe present institutp-
tion. Most sincerely do we hope this
measure may be adopted, being as we
conceive the only one which can by any
possibility restore the circulating medium
to sound and healthy state, reinstatc
public confidence, and save the country
from the immense pressure which must
inevitably ensue, should Congress adjourn
leaving things in their present unsettled
state.
