are all tliu time occu r.ng in real life, ithas (

lanai project) tlie out Union
verv oldest tanal in tins con
which was or uiuullv and materially
in its construction uy a lottery, has out
lived Us Ubefulness and has been aban
doned. The Union Canal of eunsylvania was
the first projected on the American conti
nent. It Wns suggested by William I'enn
in 10 '0, yeurs before a canal was in opo a-
tion even 111 tiulaiitl. me route was sur-
vojed by Ilavld 1 tenhouse, the .wtrouo-
luer. iu ux.t. jui.uii ai iim, i..u.u-k '
The drawings of he oliery in aid of the
Union Canal took place in the old Arcade
, in Philadelphia on Chestnut street, near
Seventh, and were regarded as occasions
of public interest. The work was inter
rupted by the Revolutionary war, bu
lat r on HoUrt Morris, Robert r'ultju and
Jacob Francis became interested in it.
The canal was eighty-nine miles long,
and necessitated in it construction some
of the greatest ng nccring wo-.k of the
day. The first tunnel in the l.uitou buates
was bored lor this canal, and a colossal
ti mtiltii. Hininrariiu wrw iihiu! In mini tin
water to tlio necessary height.
The canal cost 3,lk.0,UUJ (equivalent to
ten tunes thai sum t Hie present lime),
was wortli 10 the country every dollar it
cost, and would never have been com
pleted had it not been for he lottery.
A rival to the Union Canal was after
wards started by the Uostonese to enable
''the Hub" to compete with "sew York;
but lthourfh tills canal was completed
(through the agency also of a public lot
tery formed to aid in its construction) it
failed to render Bosto 1 equal to New
York, though it did much good, never
theless. Various public works besides canals re
sorted to tne lottery for aid. When Now
England patriotism fell short of linisliing
the Bunker Hill Monument, a large lot
tery was suggested to coin nue the good
work, and u rullle" was gotton up at a
"ladies fair," to which Fanny lilssler, the
danseuse, contributed, and which supplied
the funds required.

way, on the general principles 01 Human
nature, iuto Great Britain, where it took
root and nourished. Tlie first English
lottery was lor the repairing of harbors
and fortifications along the coast. Tho
lirst public drawing in England look place
at the west door ot old St. Paul's Cathe
dral in tlie pre-ence of a vast crowd.
Queen Elizabeth, the most teusible and
successful of English sovereigns, estab-,
lished the lottery by royal edict, and 1
p aced it under tlie control of the Prime
Minister and tho Chancellor of tho Ex-'
cheqer. So nuccessful were its results
thai it was contiuu-d as an accepted in-1
stitutl n for raising revenues down to the
close of the tighteonih century. It was
during this briliiau period that tlio bank
ing system, nisur .nee, exchange, and ,
papsr money wue lirst introduced, and
all, if not born 01, were undoubtedly
cradled in, tlie lottery system.
Tne greatest public institution in Lou- j
don, or perhaps in the world, the Britisli
Museum, was materially aided in its in-'
ception by a lo tery. Xetuly 00,' 00 were
thus contributed to this mugnilicent ob-'
jectone hundred and thirty-live years ago.
Meanwhile, the lottery had gained a
firm foothold in France. Tlie mercurial
Parisians took kindly to it. They dearly
loved the excitement ot the drawings,
while at the same time tlie government
took care to devote tlie niuj r portions ot
the funds thus raised to public purposes.
At present, lotteries in L'.ancc are in full
favor for charitable and arc purpji-es, und
are regulated by government, a public of
ficial being present at all drawings. Over
forty lotteries have obtained tlie si'iiction
of the French governnie I during the last
decade. The lottery known as "Tho Cen
tral Union of Decorative Arts" hitd a cap
ital of 11,010,000 francs (nearly '.,lMyu).
One lottery disposed of six hundred thou
sand tickets in twenty dajs. The Alger
ian National Lottery sold over a million of
tickets per month for live months, and tlie
lottery for tlio-Sjcielio des (Jens de Lotto
jes boid over half that number at a higher
price.
In this country, as has been previously
staled, lotteries nave always been popu
lar, and until late years have been sanc
tioned while regulated by law. Religion
lias, oven in America, avuiled itself largely
ot human natuie's tendency to the lottery.
Churches, from Main to Louisiana, have
been aided by lotteries. The Philadelphia
Steeple Lottery was managed by no less 11
man, statesman and phil .nthropist, than
Benjamin Franklin, und through iis
agency tlie steeple of old Christ Church,
Philadelphia, wa raised and its peal of
bells secured.
These Christ Church Bells are almost as
well known and his orical in the Qua -er
City as ate "Bow bells" in Londou tho
whole pe.il weigli over nine thousand
pounds, and a o very harmonious liter
ally "music by the pound." They wero
cast in London and brought over with
groat care and large expense to Philadel
phia. Tlie lottery, the funds of which
procured these bells, was regarded by the
go id men and .women at the time us u
public benetlt.
in New England a lottery was originated
for thu purpose of raising funds to supply
sailors and ' strangers with Bibles, and
succeeded largely in accomplishing its oh
ject. 'ihus a lottery became a Bible so
ciety. Various Episcopal and Congrega
tional churches at Newport and elsewli- re
have been built with fuuds ruised by lot

But times liavo changed. There is a
' fashion in lotteries as in everything else,
. and for a w hile at east lotteries have gone
out of f.ishlou in most States of the Union,
1 though stock gambling (in which the
j amounts risked are greater, and the
' chances for prizes are le s than in average
lotteries, and in whiclt there is less "sys
tem" than in even the wildest "lottery
si'heme") nourishes to a degree hitherto
unknown.
In fact, the onlv lottery scheme of any
mignitude now authorized in this country
is that of the Louisiana State Lottery,
which forms an important Dirt of the
revenue of that State, and tho drawings
of which take place under the supervision
of two of the leading men of tlio South
Generals Beauregard and Limy two gen

Many hankers and merchants have been
numbered among "the lucky ones," but
fortune has often favored the poor and

Thus, at a recent drawing of this lottery,
a "combine" of twenty-twocar-drivers, on
the Lombard Street Railroad, Philadel
phia, drew and divided a prize of $15,0tO
cash.
