The Havana LOTTERY,

The vendors of Havana lottery tickets
are in luck, as the price of the tickets has
been reduced over 100 per cent, and has
no longer fixed value. The buyers,
however, are not so lucky, as the premi-
ums have decreased in proportion. a
ticket formerly cost $50 in Spanish gold,
equal TO $3.50 in American coin, and now
such ticket costs only $50 in Spanish or
SS.l5 in American gold, and is steadily de-
clining. The prizes announced are not
paid in gold, as formerly. but i'm depre-
ciated paper currency, which does not
pass current in the whole of the island.
and the main premium of 100000, al
though advertised, does not exist, as the
holder thereof would receive less than one
half OF the sum, or, say S43,47 in Spanish
or S40,76l in American gold. If paper
continues to decline at the same rate, a de
ductlon of ten per cent. weekly will have
to be made from the cost of the tickets and
premiums, and petition will be handed in
to the intendente demanding that a fixed
value be established, as otherwise the al
ready impaired fame of the Havana lottery
would disappear altogether, and thus de
prive the State of an immense revenue.
As most Havana tickets are sold in the
United States, it would be well for the
buyers of tickets not to allow themselves
to be cheated by rascally vendors, who
pretend that the tickets still cost $40 in
good money, and sell accordingly.-Er-

Plaster Of Paris for Vines.

A correspondent of The Garden SAYS he
had large quantity of grape vines planted
in the open ground, and trained on poles
and wires along the gravel walks.
He says: I'm planting these, had the
holes dug about twenty-five inches deep;
| then threw into each hole five or six
Jumps OF old plaster, about the size of my
fist; | threw little earth over the Jumps,
and then planted the vines in the usual
way. The result has been wondei ful ; the
vines, which were not half an inch thick
when planted three years ago, are now
two inches and more in diameter, and bear
finely. The grapes are also free from dis
ease. Other vines, not so treated, are much
smaller and produce less, the fruit being
also more liable TO disease. To try the
effect of this plaster, in planting two
American black walnuts, we put the
plaster to the one and not to the other.
The former grew twice as fast as the other.
Last year we dug about the roots OF the
one to which no plaster was put, and we
threw in seven or eight large Jumps OF
plaster among the roots; the trees are
now both of the same size, and though
only four years old, are sixteen to seven
teen feet high"

A Romance as Good as a Novel.

An Oshkosh correspondent of the Chi
cagO Times writes: There has been quite a
sensation here among the fashionable r
cles, lately, caused by the finding of a later
will in the estate of w. ID. Durande, de-
ceased. The wOrkmen, while repairing a
portion Ofthe house in which Mr.. Durande
died, found will between the hearth of
the fireplace and the chimney, under loose
tile. The will, if true one, divides the eX-
tensive property of Durande Park equally
between his son and heir, Gerald w.. a
youth of nineteen, and his niece,
Nina Howard, of New York, a beautiful
blonde of sixteen, in case they unite them
selves in holy matrimOny on or before
Gerald's twenty-first birthday. They both
declare they will not marry, in spite of the
will, and think it is shame that there
should be such a will. There is consider
able talk of cOntesting it. This strange
and romantic will cannot be accounted for,
unless Mrs. Howard was former sweet
heart of Durande's, and he wished to see
the daughter lady of the manor if the
mother could not be

This island is almost continental in its
dimensions, containing not less than 750,-
600 square miles, and is all bleak wilder

tending to 40 north latitude, along the
western shore. The coasts are deeply in

continent in the ice age. Some of the
Greenland glaciers attain a vast size. DR..
Kane reports the great Humboldt glacier
as sixty miles wide at its termination. Its
seaward face rises abruptly from the
level of the crater to height of three
hundred feet.
Since ice is lighter than water. whenev-

Though Greenland is said to be inhab-
tied only upon the south and west coast,
there is a record of an early settlement up
on the side toward Iceland. with which
there has been no communication for 400
years. The colony was planted about
1000 a. D., and flourished, and MAIN

till the beginning of the fifteenth century.
Since that time, owing to the setting in of
the Arctic current, and the consequent
gradual increase of ice upon the coast, the
colony became inaccessible, and the rec

reindeer and verdant glades, is now shut

its inhabitants ought to excite the interest
of the world. 1t would be very interest

colony whether the increasing cold has
enlarged the glaciers so as to push the
dwellings out to sea, or whether the habi-

Another Little Dog Story.

In Charlestown, Mass, recently, a large
dog gave chase to poor little 'black and

three sharp barks, as much as to say,

But thy love may come once more,

From all accounts at hand, we have no doubt but Pinal district is wonderfully rich in silver and copper.
