LOTTERY SpECULATIoN.-NOt many
months since, Col. --, shrewd,
well-to do farmer, residing within a
dozen miles OF this city, received
through the post Office lottery tick
ct, accompanied by circular assur-
ing the Colonel that the thing was
"surc to draw" and that by enclos-
ing the price of the ticket Zone dol
lar, we think he could safely rely
upon prize OF several hundred dol
lars, aud that in no case could it be
less than the price Of the ticket.
Having read and heard much of the
lottery swindles now SO common in
this country, the Colonel at once
"smelt a mi CO." and said in his mind,
s'no you don't" sold birds arc not
caught with chaff," etc. The letter
containing the ticket and circular was
laid away, and the matter nearly
passed out of his recollection, when,
a few weeks after, the Colonel receiv-
ed letter informing him that ':his
ticket, No. -, had drawn q prize of
S9uO, anu Inc writer pioneering TO
collect and remit the amount for the
trifling compensation Of so, but eau
tioning the Colonel, that to make all
appear straight, he must antedate his
letter to day prior to the drawing,
and get the post master to do the
same on the envelope in mailing it.
Coed references were of course set
forth, and everything had the APP
pearance OF straight forward bust
ness transaction. Here then was off
fered fine opportunity for specula-
tion-a large return for small out
lay; here was something besides
"chaff." The Colonel swallowed the
bait F.; the ten dollar greenback was
sent, and, of course, the Colonel re-
ceived in return-No reply.-Mineral

The Rumored Alliance.

Some of our contemporaries regard
it as startling rumor" that Eng
land, France and Spain have formed
an alliance, offensive and defensive,
against the system of the United
States. We are tempted to believe
that the rumor is more startling"
than tho fact would be. 1t doubtless
has its origin among stock brokers
and sensationalists.
But should the rumor settle into
fact, we do not know what there is
in it to startle anybody. The policy
Of these Governments is and neces-
sarily must be, hostile to our own,
but so far as they do not interfere
with us wo can afford to let them
alone.
That these Powers, however, have
united on the policy which Great
Britain pursued in reference to the
Alabama, is simply preposterous.-
Neither of the two latter Govern
ments permitted pirates to be fitted
out, or forbade Uuited States wal
vessels to remain in their ports. This
policy was Numerically opposed to
that of Great Britain during the re-
bellion, and it is not to be supposed
at this late day that they are going
to adopt it. CHICAGO journal.

Of one year, the Post thinks, none
win be attainable except at very high
figures, and then gold will have TO be
expended TO pay our foreign indebt-
edness. It therefore apprehends that
gold will become q scarcer commod-
ity than it has been for the past four
years. The Post seems to think that
this will ultimately become the
cause of serious commercial embar
assment. The true way to prevent
it, is to buy less of foreign Injuries.

CANADIAN DIssATIsFAoTIoN-The

on Monday evening last:
In an able speech, two hours long,
he pictures in glowing colors the
hardships and misfortunes of the Ca
nadians under English rule. He said
manufactures could lever increase or
prosper in Canada so long as she was
an English colony. and manufactnr-
ing is the only thing that will keep
the Canadians from starvation. -
Twas the old grievance-England
protecting her home interests ct the
expense of her colonists and as the
mother country, under pretext of
being mother, is fast becoming a
tyrant, her subjects must rise against
her. He favored annexation, as they
cannot hope to be permanently an
independent power, but arc more or
less at the mercy of the United
States, so long as they must have q
reciprocity treaty in order to support
manufactures.
