Lotteries in Italy. F Italy, however, is afflicted with another plague, even more destructive than that of counterfeiting, more tremen(lous in its evil results, and which invades every departmont and every class. The Gov ernment itself regulates the lotteries, with the idea. probably, of liriting what could not be avoided, and profliting by it. It is said that the annual net profit lwhiieh it derives from this tutelage is $15,000, 000. But it is considered only a tem porary measuro, the final aim of Italy's state nuen being to abolish a vice which destroys habits of industry and encouir- I ages orime. It may be consi(lered d()ul)t fiul whether this is the best wLy to do it, hit tie halbit was alroady deeply rooted in the character of the Italians.

The 1 people stand on the streot with their heads raised and their ev y( fixed on the balcony until hope is ueineled in certainty or satisfied with miecess.
