The Bachelors VIII.

There was jolly bachelor
Who died at lightweight,
And by his will the good man left
The whole OF his estate
To women who had answered nay,
When asked by him TO wed,
For he declared he owed to them
The happy life he'd led.

Seas, and Distributes Its Tickets at the
Port of Tampa, Fla.
WAsHINGToN, April 5-The treasury
department is endeavoring to put the
Honduras Lottery Co., alias the Louisi-
ana Lottery Co., out of this country.
The old Louisiana Lottery Co., it is
stated, has charter from the Hon
duras government under the name of
the Honduras Lottery Co. This COM
pany has chartered steamer which
plies, it is said, between ports of Hon
duras and Tampa, Fla. While on the
high seas the lottery drawing takes
place and the tickets and prizes are
landed at Tampa and sent through ex-
press companies broadcast over the
United States.
The collector of customs at Tampa,
Fla, has asked the treasury depart.
ment what rates of duty must be as
sessed against the lottery tickets SO i'm.
ported, whether US mere bits of paper
or otherwise. In similar case, on the
importation of lottery tickets from
Mexico, the treasury decided to assess
the tickets at their face value, which
effectually stopped their Importation
A similar ruling will likely be made ir
the present case.

WELLS OF WINE.

Others.
WASHINGTON, April 7-Rather dis.
couraging to our own wine growers ia
the report that comes to the state de.
partment from Henry S. Huntington,
our consular agent at Castellamare,
Italy, as to the enormous wine crop
produced in that country during the
past two years He says: "In the last
two years here the grape crop has been
so abundant that in many districts
in southern Italy there were not
barrels and demijohns sufficient to
hold the pressed juice, and cis-
terms were emptied of water and filed
with wine" Mr.. Huntington adds that
the great French wine crop by reduc-
ing the market in that country for
Italian wines will compel large exports
to other countries. He shows that
Italy is the greatest wine producing
country in the world, the crop last year
amounting to 81, 200, 100000 in value.
The United States stands seventeenth
in the list of producing countries
with a product last year of but 1,O13.-
729 hecto-litres as against 81, 1868, SIT for
Italy, and Mr.. Huntington believes that
owing to climatic conditions and dear
labor we never can compete with Italy
| in this field.
