First English Lottery.

The first English lottery of which we
have any record was held in the reign
of Eliza beth. in the year 1863. Four
hundred thousand tickets We're issued
at 10 shllings each; and the prizes CON
sisted of "redy money. plate and certain
sorts Of merchandizes." An attractive
feature of this lottery was that there
were no blanks. each ticket holder re-
ceiving some return for his money The
profits Of the undertaking were TO go
toward the reparations of the Ravens
and strength of the realme, and toward
such other public good workes." Ac-

of these troops are reserves IN the
strict meaning of the term, the mass
of them have been hurried from other
theaters of the war. but not single
soldier from the ninety-mile British
front. Judging from the prisoners
taken, the enemy seems to have ar
rived a the stage when he is obliged
to build up his defenses with the very
dregs of his human resources.
AN interesting feature of the battle
is the partial return to conditions of
field warfare. But this is only tenn
porary. 1t is still the era of the tri-
umph of the machine over man, and.
although circumstances may occasion
