A TURN OF THE waKRL--The only possible
objection which can be made 20 the Investing
OF q small sum in what is known As lottery
speculation, Is the current idea that the distri-
button Il not honestly carried out, and thst the
largest prizes fall 90 the share OF spocryphal
names having no real existence. There have
been, however, recently, three grand gift con-
certs, which have been conducted on the highest
principles Of honor, and with which the public
have been perfectly satisfied; even parties
holding unsuccessful shares readily testifylng
70 the hberality and honesty Of the managers
and the strict impsrtislity OF the method Of
drawing. These drawing were for the benefit
OF the Public Library Of Kentucky, and q
fourth concert on still more magnificent basis
Is now In preparation. So eQuitably are the
prizes in tin new adventure arranged, that
every fifth ticket holder draws Q gift. and the
grand first gift OF $3.50 900 may thus be secured
by an outlay of $50, while other prizes aggreea-
ung 81 10000 and ranging from 500 600 70 90
viii be submitted TO the turn of the wheel, and
the fat of tickle Fortune. The most daring
speculation. recklessly made by the most fortu-
nate man in any other way could not be ex-
peeted TO yield such a reward for outlay as will
TINS concert In Kentucky, and IL Is quite within
the limits OF probability that any of our readers
investing trifle in this speculation may realize
q fortune which will make them independent
