Drawing of the Havana Lottery.

A late letter from Havana to the Charleston Stand
ard says:
Il was present on Friday last, at the drawing of
the Grand Royal Cuban Lottery which exhibited
the Cuban population in, to me, light, and there
fore send you description of the scene.
"A platform was erected in one Of the arches the
square of the Custom House, which at the back and
sides was hung with crimson drapery, at the back
was suspended portrait of the Queen of SPAIN
There were two large gaudiy painted globes placed
near the edge of the platform, in of which was
placed representatives of the whole number of tickets,
and In the other the several prizes two boys assembled
the platform, the globes were turned by negroes,
military band played of the Royal Marches, file
OF soldlers-Solders here play prominent part on
all public occasons,-was placed to keep the crowd
clear of the platform, and the drawing commenced.
One of the boys thrust his into of the globes
| and drew out number, then marched with the
arcal air to the rear OF the platform the other boy
went through a similar ceremony, and the two ad-
vanced together TO the 'front.' the proclaimed the
number, the other the Prize; then there uni
versal examining of tickets, but appeared to
hold the fortunate number, and the ceremony Of
drawing another number gone through and like
result ensued; at the drawing of the fifth number
there was shrek of JOY, and i miserable looking

swooned with delight at being the holder of the eighth
of two thousand dollar prize. Poor devil when he

prizes but although all the city. rather all the
white population of it, appeared to hold portions of
tickets, yet no one, that | have heard Of held the
number 1867, which drew the 100000 prize. |
will not say that the drawing not fairly con-
ducted hut confesss liked not the two boys turning
their backs upon the crowd and marching to the rear
of the platform it afforded opportunity for collision,
and no dimes or dollars of my hard earnings shall
be invested in the Royal Cuban Lottery"

"Our humble opinion is that the act of a prudent
proprietor may sometimes conflict with the duties of
a faithful agent,-and We think have author-
ty for saying that the Public Lands are only held in
trust by the General Government for certain purpo-
ses Toned, and not 10 be used to build up one
portion of the Union at the expense of the other"-
Salem Press.
The above extract from the Salem Press will give
the reader correct idea of the style in which the
whg presses discuss the subject of the public lands
We have any quantity of defamation the pro-
digalty of the Government in wasting the public
ands-any quantity of complaint Gor it really ap-
pears to be nothing else) at the prosperity of the
land States who are benefited we admit by land
pOiIcy-any quantity of prOestation against the in
justice of building up the States at the expense
of the old. Do kind brethren of the whg press,
give US change-do treat us to something like
gument on the subject. Show how the granting
of alternate sections of the public lands aid of
railways penetrating them, and doubling the uale of
the section reserved to the Government, operate to
build up the new at the expense of the old Sates.
1t IS vain to reply by pointing out mmese benefit
conferred by this system the States. 1t is
vain to point to the magnificent results of the Illinois
Contra! Railroad, and other simas works. You on
ly prove thereby that the system benefits tie gae1D
| States. You do not show that it injuries the old
States. For 1t can be- and it has been, demonstrated
that the system works loss but gain to the Gen
eral Government 1t, therefore, works loss to the
seUereral States that Government represents, but is
| benefit to them
Is it not little strange that Willard Fillmore-a
man whom the wing party of North Carolina delight
ed to honor-never vetoed bill granting alter
nate sections of the public lands in aid of railroads
If Mr. Fillmore had believed that this system was q
prodgal wasting of the public property, and worked
injustice to the old States would he have signed all
these bills? Would not he, citizen of one of the
old States, have demonstrated in his annual MESA
ges to Congress against the injustice of the system
But though we find him recommending more than
once change in our tariff system and a return to
the favorite wing scheme of high protective tariff,
he raised has uoice against the land policy
of the Government. Moreover, Mr. Fillmore signed
the identical bill granting public land an aid Of the H.
linois Central Railroad, against which have heard
SO much wing defamation Will some of our whg
friends favor US with explanation OF this remark

THE GREAT POULTRY SHow.-There is an epidemic
prevailing not only all over this country, but in Eu
rope to breed hens of enormous, and as think un-
profitable sizes: and one of the objects as we'll as eff
eets of these shows is to spread the fever and keep
up the prices. This is no hard matter, when so
ny amateurs ready to " 60 it blind" on purchase
T. We recolec the statement of an editor last year
in Massachusetts, who bought hall dozen pure Coch
an China eggs at Sc dozen, which produced him
six very ugly ducks
rety,' which the seller assured him would produce
6 very rare birds" So they did, for they put
under the very best hen, and in due time came out
" what do you think p
Il could not guess, tsaid his friend, what were
they"
. Land turtles, by thunder. and what was worse, as
soon as they Matched they seized upon the old
hen, and such squalling heard in any
other hens nest, will swear
Another would-be amateur very anxious TO 60
in for brood of Shanghais, but had setting hen.
The dealer in eggs. at fifty cents each, very kindly
informed him how to hatch his chickens in warm
water, by the of spirit lamp. He bought the
eggs and followed directions, and got very well
cooked eggs.
The President of the National Poultry Society
tells pretty good anecdote upon himself In this line
Having undertaken to have the show in the Museum,
he was pretty anxious to have it not only big one
but 10 have OF the biggest of the big sort exhibit
ted. OF course cute Yankees soon found that out,
and one of them to him and said he had eight
of the tarnelest biggest Shanghes in all creation
he had got them purpose to go in for the big prize
at the Albany show, and after that if Mr. Barnum
was of mind to have 'em, he didn't much if he
sold out at Il fair price"
Barnum took hasty look, and thought they were
about the size of old fashioned two year old bull,
and guessed may be they would win; and being I'M
willing that Albany should have the very biggest he
paid the fellow $50 for the eight fowls and put them
awav in reserve for the National Show.
But shant show them,' says Barnum, after visi-
ting Albany.
"Why not p
Because there is no premium for that sort. They
might pass for Bantams alongside of some OF those,
but the largest of them are not big the smallest
of the same sort in that exhibition The fact is the
fellow made two sales: he sold and his fowls at
the same tme-N Y Tribune.

CONTEMPLATED Fusion OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
AND GREEK CHURCHEs.--The correspondent of the
London Times, writing from Vienna Jan. %,
sends the following important news improbable as
may appear, negotiations are going on between the
Russian government and the Papa Nuncio who re-
sides here for bringing about fusion of the Catholic
and Greek Churches The Russian cabinet is
ious to the cooperation of the high Catholic
party during the present crisis but of course when
the danger is the negotiations will be over too.
The ambition of the Roman Catholic hierarchy will
probably induce it to swallow the coarse bait,
Prince Mlosch is with Prince Gortschakof at Kra
jova, and this is evidently demonstration against
Prince Alexander the present Hospodar of Servia.
The telegraphic dispatches received from Hermann
stadt which announce the fall of Slistra are totally
false. The of the defeat of the Russians before

rest. The ArchGuchess Elizabeth, the widow of the

If one half the pains was taken to impreove tn
human race that there is to improve the breed OF
sheep the blood of horses, and the size OF PUMPKINS
we should have hope for the .pertectlblllty OF

selves, the breed of il-shapen sinners will continue
to multiply so rapidly as to postpone the millennium
beyond the boundary of human hope.

FUGTTIvE SLAVES IN CANADA.-Tbe
Rev. w. II. Hawkins, a celored preacher,
now residing in Canada, states that there
are in Canada West four hundred slaves
who absconded from their masters living
in Kentucky, within a distance of one
one hundred miles from Cincinnati. Haw-
kins himself ran away from Gen. TAYLOR,
but his colored friends have since pur-
chased his freedom from the heirs of the
estate. There are in Canada thirty.fiye
thousand fugitive slaves, who are repre-
sented as in q very flourishing condition
just now, owing to the high prices paid
for labor on the lines Of railway building
in the Provinces. In the town of Chat
ham alone there are seven hundred and
thirty tugitives, who are rapidly acquir-
ing property in land. In the new aboli-
ton town Of Buxton, there are one
hundred and thirty families of colered
people-escaped slaves-who own tract
Of nine thousand acres of land. The
whole amount of land in Canada West
owned by the fagitives is stated to be
twenty-five thousand acres.
