A GOOD CIGAR.

July ro. Issl.
 Many people are aware that there is a lottery drawn in Havana, Cuba. under supervision of the Government and con- trulled by 1t, but those who know this facf arc not all couversant with another iact, and that is that based on the num- bers drawn therein is decided the Ong. inal Little Havana Gould S Co.'S, the pri,es occupying the same relative posi- tions, differing only as to amount, as in the Original Havana To investors in this class of securities the Little Havana presents an clement of chance which is lacking in lottery schemes generally, for the reason that those whe stand behind it cannot control or manipulate even in case they were desirous of so doing) a single number, but are bound by the ofhcial list of the Royal Havana, which decides their money. This being the case, only one question arises, Is il re- iably managed and conducted and worthy the confidence of those who spec uiate2 Investigation and kac~ledge on this subject, the result of strict research and what we have seen, enable us to speak on this point. Inquiry gave us tuS u4uaS VI ~ HtCuuy MI. N. V. OtoWu, of this city, who had held the capital prize and was promptly paid later, of the following parties, who had collected large prises:-
 ]. de Rivera & Co.,, IF Pearl street, New York city; Bloomberg & Raphael, s4 Worth street. New York city Eugene Kelly & Co. $ Exchange place, New York city; Park National Bank, New York city; Butchers and Drovers' Ma tionA Bank, New York city; Importers and Traders National Bank. New York city: Merchants National Bank. New York city; Brooklyn Bank, Brooklyn, N. Y; Southern Bank of Georgia, Savannah, Ca: Peoples Bank, New Orleans, La; Adams Express Co.,, New York and Bos- ton; Southern Express Co, New Orleans American Express Co.,, New York and Chicago.
 Within two weeks we have personally witnessed the payment of SS,ooo in cash as the result of holding ticket No. i9, 2oi in class I,Ioo of the Little Havana, de- cided by the Royal of June 7S. A friend had the ticket we accompanied him and the money Iwas paid as promptly as if the same was bank note, on presentation oi the winning ticket. A representative oi the general agents, Shipsey Company, I,2I2 Broadway, Sew Yosk city, paid the money without any hesitation. saying "We don't make ssch time as some people do about these payments, bu, your experience is the safAe as that of all others who have preceded ysp as holders of winning tcketx We do bosiness only on the square, and promptness Nin every particular is our desire- One di&culsy under which ve labor is that, whils> in 0eher lotteries there are usually Ioo, ,oop numbers, and consequently 100 GOO tick ets, the one we decide by seldom has mose than 22 GOO. For this reason the prizes cannot be so large in amocnt but when it is taken into consideration iha, the chance of drawing the larger prizes are as five to one in favor of the Little Havana, and that the parties in interest have no control over the numbers, i, should commend itself as being what i, is claimed to be. [. C., the fairest, squares, and best thing in the nature of chance in existence"
 Our friend was happy. We are pleased to state the facts as they are. They afford ground for reflection and consideration to all who would WOO the Coddess oi Fortune.
