Long before this tIme.YiOTOR Emmanuel is virtually King ot Itaty. Tho FoJpe.roUins a portion of tho States of Ufo tihnrch/andthe province of Venetia BtiU’eonti&nes under tho iron-rule of Austria. NeverthHess, Italymay bo considered an united Kingdom, of which, by popular election, and surely by the grace of God, "Victor Emmanuel is the Suzerain. When the poll was taken in Naples, whether this bold and fortunate man should be King, the whole minority-vote was under ttvo thou sand. The London Times, commenting upon this, says: ‘f Of tbs votes given, there is not one per cent, protesting against the new revolu tion. We do not put any very great stress upon these universal suffrage votes. They may be managed by force or fraud, and their results ate not to be accepted as indubitable proof of the convictions of a people. In this city of Naples, however, there are circum stances more than usually fhvOTable to a mi nority- Victor Emmanuel is not yet in the city, and Garibaldi is well known to be a fair man, who would lend himself to no trick, and would permit no force. There is a paTty even among the authors of tho re volution who would willingly aid a respecta ble minority voting against immediate an nexation. There are Mazzinian votes among that little heap of 1,609 dissentient voting tickets, as the correspondence from Naples which we published yesterday Bhows. Even if we did not know from other sources that the inhabitants of the South are, as a mass, enthu siastic in the Italian cause, the circumstances of this election show that there cannot be any great body of the people who are opposed to what is now being done. The very fact that what intimidation there was was v ory much that which occurs at an English election when a voter for the nnpopnlar candidate comesto the poll, shows that the populace were all on the side of Italy. We have been told from time to time of the Lazzaroni, and of other classes, who were ready to join in re actionary movements. A peaceftil and legal opportunity has now been afforded, and it was of vital importance to those who claim their aympathies to get them to make a demonstra tion. They have, however, all gone with the Italian party, and the hostile votes do not oven account for thOBO who must bo diroct and immediate losers by the transfer of power from a tyrant of the Two Sicilies to a King of Italy.” The question—what is Vioion Ehhancel next to do? may he readily answered. We are told that, of lair and fertile Italy, “ Vic tor Emmanuel is now de jure King. Ho has nothing now to do but to hold his own. Master of a powerful army and a formidable fleet, to the excellence of which even his ene mies bear willing witness, there is nothing now in Italy can offer him resistance. Fbanois 11. has almost ceased to be a sub stance, and, if it were not a strong and an im mediate political necessity to remove him from Italian soil, it would seem like cruelty to con centrate so great a force upon so pnny an antagonist. It is now less a contest than a necessary expulsion; bnt it mnst he done, and done without delay, for that King’s name may even yet be a tower of strength to Aus tria,-if Austria should go mad some morning, as she once before went mad.” Capua occupied by Garibaldi’s forces; the ex-King driven into a - corner at Gaeta; Victor Ehhancel co-operating with Gari baldi ; Naples anxious to receive its newly elected King. What alter thiß 7—Only that Bombalino is now playing his last game. From Gaeta flight is easy. The French fleet will facilitate his retreat, and, once that he leaves bis country, " He saris, like Ajut, never to return.” But, it is eaid, Gaeta is a great fortress. It tear, but can scarcely be called so now. Here, from an English paper, is a sketch of that asy lum ot fbgltiye royally; “ In the history of Italian freedom after the fall of the Homan empire, Gaeta was one of the three Greek munlelpelities which beetme the refuge of the clvilisstion of Rome. Amalfi, Gaeta, and Na ples subsequently advanced to independence on the rains of the Eastern empire, and the imperial power at Constantinople was too ehfeeoled to offer opposition to tha change. Their chief magistrate bore the title of Doge; their wealthy merchants had ships sad settlements in the great.porta of the Levant, and laid tha foundation of the commercial prosperity of the Italian lapnblios of later times. The bluff promontory of Gaeta, suited to the main land by a low and narrow' isthmus, strengthened by walls, and banked by tha difficult defiles of the Cmouban mountains, gave to this anaient settle ment tbit natural strength whieh hts made it In ottr awn tlmia tha key-fortress of tha' kingdom. Tha elty consequently survived tha invasions of tha Lombards and tha Saracens, and did not lost Us liberty until tha 13th century, whenlt was absorbed along with the other free cities of Southern Italy, in the mignlf oent eonqusst of the Normans. Its beautiful and its rioh orange, iemon, and eltron groves give it a peculiarly southern character. It u tha onlef city of the 4ln dtstrotto of the Terra dt Lavoro, and a seat of a blahoprio. It has a popu lation, including tha garrison, of nearly 12,000 sonla. Tha cathedral; dedicated to St. Erasmus, contains the ataodard presented by Fins V. to Don John of Austria, the commander of the Christian army at tho singe of Lepanto. Tha celebrated column with twelve faces,on which are iescribed tha names of tire twelve winds in Greek and Latin, is one of the most enrlons monuments in the town. The beauty of the women is very striking, and their light brown hair oontraats singularly with the blaok color which is so peculiar a oneractorUtlo of female beauty in other parts of Italy. In the Preach IntAllAß Af 1708, tha fAlireu, AAffittißdid by the Swiss General Tsohiudy, surrendered at discretion to the army of General Bey; an event to dlsgraoeful that it regarded as an act of treachery, for the garrison contained 4.000 soldiers, 70 eannon. 12 mortsre, 20,000 muskets, and supplies for a year. After the treaty ot Alx-la-Cnapelle, the fortifications were again strengthened, and tha oitadel waa enabled to sustain tha memorable siege of 1806, whloh is so well known to Englishmen from the opera tions of onr navy on the coast in support of the be sieged. At the approsoh of the French army under Meesena, the feeble regency ot Naples engaged to give up all the fortresses of the kingdom. The oitadel «f Gaeta was commanded by the Prince of Hesse Fhllipstadt, who'answsred the summons of the regenoy by saying that he should disobey their command, for the higher eommandi of honor and bf war. Tha Fringe, assisted by the operations of the English fleet upon the coast, was enabled gal lantly to hold .out until the fall of Sojlla in July, 1806; and on the 18th of that month, after ten days continued tiring, the fortress honorably eapilnlated, Tha history of fiaela after the pesos was again in direotly connected with England, the Governor being Gen. Joseph Edward Acton, who married the sister of the Frineeesof Herne Fhllipstadt, and was the brother of Sir John Acton, the English Prime Minister of Naples. The palaoe of the Governor, wbioh was so long the residence of Flos IX. In 1850, presente nothing to require description.” The Order of the Bine.

Loiter Irons “Occasional.” tOorretpovdenoo of The Freu>l Washington, November 15,1860. Yesterday I spoke of the mon bolding tho offices of the General Administration, 10-day I propose to say R few words of those who ate hunting them. It is a mistake to suppose that place-seeking is confined to any scotien, or to any State. It is as universal as the oasing air. The anti-Republioan feeling of the South will, for a time, relieve Mr. Lincoln of many competitions from that quarter, but it is reported and believed that he is already receiving, even lxom tho South, clouds of letters, filled with requests that the writers may be remem* bered when he comes to make up his jewels It will be a Bad thing for the F. F. V’s, and the F. F M’s—the representatives of those two gentle sister Commonwealths, who have held the United States departments in their loving embrace for nearly fifty years—it will bo a sad thing 1 say, when, in order to be consistent and patriotio, they will bo compelled to forego the pleasure of waiting upon the Chief Magistrate, and offering themsolvos as candidates for any of the offioial orumbfl that may fall from his royal table. The politicians of Virginia have fed so long at the public crib, that they oau hardly feed anywhere else. They look upon the United States Government as constituted for their own speoial benefit. Continued possession of power has made them envious, wherover a Yahoo from a distant State puts in his spoon, in the in sane belief that he has a right to partake of the luscious feast. Their feelings may be well ima. glned when the Northern horde shall descend, flashed with victory, and hungry for position, upon this devoted oity; but it ought to be some oonso lalion that, in proportion as they are agonized by the loss, those who entor upon the position Cf power will have their own trouble. An ermy after a long march and a weary oampaign, as it ap proaches a prosperous and wealthy capital, oould not be more voracious than those who, having been kept from their share of the spoils for many years, when they are called upon to divide and to receive them. The patronage of the American Government Is vast, and the ability of the President, If he ohooses faithfully to reward his followers, is almost impe rial. If Mr. Buchanan had been governed in his distribution of this patronage by a Eagaoious policy _ he would sot now be looking to the oloseofhis Presidential term with mingled feelings of sorrow and self-reproach. Mr. Lincoln oan take many lessons from bis predecessors—lossons not only as to principles, but as to tbe disposition of tho crumbs that will drop from his offioial table. The existing O. P. F- rarely conferred a favor with a good graoe. He gave with a grumble, never with a be nodiotion. He bestowed office as a miser bestows alms ; and it is a fact which a few months will tho roughly establish, that bitterly as he is disliked by the millions, he has oroated, cultivated, and ce mented few or no friendships among those who have received and retained commissions under his Administration. They have had to pay very dear for their reapeotive whistles. Compelled to keep up the party organization, they have been alter nately threatened and taxed. The President has insisted upon holding the consciences of each one of them in his hands. His opinion had to bo theirs, and no matter how frequently he changed his mind, if they did not ohange too, and that on the instant, their hoads were gathered into the execu tionor’s basket with as much sangfroid as the farmer gathers his apples in the autumn. To suoh an extent have these poor fellows been browbeaten and burdened that, although many of them have got_rioli, I have no doubt they look forward to thoir retirement with a sense of agree able relief. Now will come tbe opposition. Hordes who have so long desired to graze upon the rioh pastures—to drink ©f the refreshing streams, and to feast upon the golden fruits of the Gonoral Ad ministration, will have thoir turn. At this mo ment there is hardly a hamlet in tho free States in wbioh there is not more than one heart beating anxiously for the coming “happy day.” Nearly every active campaigner will set forth his olaim. Talk about the'Wide-Awakeß during the canvass whloh has just closed \ AU their vigllanob will bo the dulloow of sleep itself, oompared to the lynx eyed Borutiny and watchfulness that will hereafter be exhibited wbon the great loaf of Undo Sam { comes to bo out, and tbe tempting slices are hand ed out by his great almoner, Abraham Linooln What embryo ministers, consuls, collectors, and clerks are preparing themselves for tho dooisive competition! Ido not mean to disoourago these patriotio Americans. Change fs the order of the day, and when Mr. Lincoln yyas eleoted it would have been strange if tboso who voted against him did not expect to see him put his own friends in office; and I believe that new foceß In on? depart ments will do good. lam not of those who think that, if one man dies, this Government will dissolve. It depends upon no single individual. 1 think that if the system requires alternations in the Presidential ohair, from different parties, the subordinates should give place to othor citizens, But, I frankly commiserate Mr. Lincoln upon the task beforp bun in the distribution of the ogjoes in the gift tho President , Much solicitude is felt hero lest some of the Southern Senators Bhould absent themselves frem 'their seats during the short and conducing session of- the* present Congress. I believe that some of them will do so. Mr- Wigfal! constantly proclaims his purpose never to return, apd Mr. Toombs oan soaroely keep his seat while South Carolina and Goorgia are intorohanging oivilities and prepara tions for going out of the Union.

Tbe English troops aptured the first fort. The possession of tbo camp brought the allies within half a mite of tbe great north fort, wbioh appears to be the key of the whole position. The attack was made on the 21st, four English and four Frenoh gun-boats drawing the attention of tho forts lower down, when the batteries wore opened. : The Armstrong' guns threw out tremondons shells, which hurst within tho walls of tho fort, causing an awfnl explosion, making the ground shake.

SKETCHES OF CITY LIFE, THE LOTTERY POLICY DEALER. Tllq Results of Policy Speculations POVERTY, LUNACY, AND SUICIDE. 'I he matter of speculation in lottery polloles was brought to our notice a few days ago. Prior to that time we bod board incredulously of -well-known oitizens impoaobod, as participants in that Infa mous traffic. The trade itself was represented to ns as productive of vices and degradations almost beyond beliof. With little interest in the affair, we undertook some investigations into tho extent and character of the trade, which have resulted in revelations whogo details olog description and staggor belief. THE PENALTIES AGAINST I*o LICY-DEAZ.BRS. The punishment laid down in the new venal code for offences of this description scarcely indicates theoharaoter of the transgression. We estimate the enormity of particular orimes by thoir result ing ovils. An imprisonment limited to two years, and a fine of a paltry $l,OOO, are insufficient to compensate for the robbery of communities and i tho demoraltaalioir-of youth, even ohildhood. In sufficient as are tho penalties, however, the cow ardice and neglect of officers of the law, relative to policy-dealers, are more oulpable. Philadelphia employs a large force of detective policemen to ferret out criminals. They are restricted to deteo tive duties alone, end released from tho more arduous routine of regular police life; yet soaroely a square in Philadelphia is destitute of some policy offioe; they duster undor the shadow of the Central Station, and.defraud the Ignorant and the poor with Impunity. Their localities cannot be unknown to tho deteotive force. Their plaocs of business aro marked; their faces are not more commonly recognised than their trade; yet the late indiotment of the Grand Jury points to scarcely a single case of this character, the due to which was followed up by the detective force. However diligent these officers may bo in other detective branches, thoir criminality in this re spect merits all condemnation. We saw an offioer of the Twentieth ward lounging before a policy office, on Girard avenue, yesterday afternoon. A few minutes afterward he was observed dragging a drunken woman along the street, followed by a throng of urchins and grown-up idlers, EXTENT OF THE TRADE IN LOTTERY POLICIES, We have reason to believe ibatthe number of polioy shops in this city cannot fall far short of five hundred. They are most numerous in poverty strioken localities where the people are ignorant and oredulous. The fashionable centre of the city .is not barren of them. Mere than fifty are located below Third street, between Market and Wal nut. They are numerous in Sixth and Seventh streets, below Arch, and in degraded quarters of moro remoto wards aro almost numberless. They aro confined ohiefly to alloys and narrow thorough fares. Those upon prominent streets are sheltered by some ostensible shew of an honest vocation. Ono of them, not far from Spruce street, is nomi nally a coal dealer’s office. We know of one in the rear of a religious bookstore, and of three not far from the office of The Press , concealed behind a bulk window, wherein a lot of bootß repose. It is needless fp say that few patrons find in these es tablishments brogans of requisite measure. Most polioy offices are held in the rear of beer saloons, taverns, and oigar shops. A prominent drinking saloon and restaurant upon Chestnut streothas an office in one part of tho basement, and in ono of the nowspaper buildings upon Third stroet a policy agent rents an upper lt is shrewdly said that certain piepibers of the bar employ their offi ces for this nefarious traffio, and we know of more than a score of fomales who are the agents or “ writers ” In the trade. The offices of these wor thies, or the greater part of them, aro devoid of all traces of the illegitimate business. It is not un common to see & law library ip the comer, or some good books upon the table, or some surgical instru ments on tho shelf, The trade requires no uten sils, safe wanton avarloe and unscrupulous deceit. THE BETWEEN A ppTTBRY pOLICT AND A LOTTERY TICKET. We do not know, that this distinction oan be clearly expressed, as we scarcely understand it dearly. A lottery ticket is issued from a Ipga)i;cd lottery firm, haying its headquarters in some State where the oupidlty of the Legis lature is not proof to bribery. The State of Delaware is responsible for mpeh of the misery everted through its lotteries upon the other States of the Union. Two other States tolerate such baneful institutions. The policy-dealer trades in lottery puipberg. receiving “ bets” of all denomi nations upon the success of any number, or series of numbers, in the lottery. Thus, if seventy-eight numbers constitute the lottery, and thirteen of them draw prizes, he odds against any series of numbers being identical with the thii* toep, He bets, in othor words, that any three numbers will no} draw prizes, and if said numbers do succeed, he pays tho winning parties oertain sums commensurate with their investment. The following are accredited polioy rates: Upon three numbers, twenty thousand per cent.; two num bers, hundred per cent; one number, five hundred per oent. The dealer has, however, nearly eighty thousand chances to ono 'that throe numbers will not correspond to three of the thirteen. Tfce Iptteriesare looated in filming ton, Del. There are two drawings per day, in the morning and in the afternoon. The thirteen drawn numbers axe telegraphed to thiß city and 'received at the several policy offices Tho infatu ated people who have staked their money orowd them to hear tho returns. If, by miracle, some wight has bet upon three numbers of seventy-eight and they cpfiesppnd with three of the thirteen drawn at Wilmington, he receives from the dealer ono dollar for every oent invested. If two of the numbers correspond he reseives nothing. N«w and then some party Is successful. Last Saturday two boys, working in a faotory in Quarry street, Won a'sum pfs3Q. On Supday morning they hlret] a carriage and drove at a fast paoe out of town. Qn Sunday night they slept fp q state of beastly Intoxication at a suburban station-house utterly peanilesu. Dealers In policies are not generally proprietors. Those in tho remote wards are cither agents for dealers in oentral Philadelphia, or are “ booked’* by moneyed men. We know of more than one hun dred influential parties thus passively engaged in thisdiagraoeful business. They pay the “ writer” or agent ten per oent on his returns, as stated in his books. The patrons of tho policy-dealer are of ail olaases. Prominent merchants and professional men eannot resist their infatuations, and mechanics in alt branobes are regular speculators. Women and children by the score invest sums of all de grees of littleness, and the sordid influences of the trade extend even to olergymen. o,ur limited epaoe and allow only a few narrations* of the degrading effeots of dabbling ip the business. Qur special inquiries relate to only one quarter of fjio oity, and detail some ipoidenm catering about a single policy shn|> pome of these we will relate. The subjeot admits of n second paper. CASKS OP CRIME AND DESTITUTION IN THE BEY2N TEENTII WARD. fn Girard avenqo. not far from Fifth street, (a a row of narrow booths, one-stoiy high and corres pondingly low in moral characteristics, a polloy dealer, under cover of a oigafc shop, has established an office. Of the man we know nothing personally 1 further, wo wish to know nothing. Ho was, of y6re, an estimable mechanic. From batting, with varied suooe6s, in lottery ’ numbers, he became the agent of moneyed men to negotiate the policy busi ness himself. For a time his operations were con fined to ft cellar, where he domesticated himself, solaoed by a solitary bottle, and intimated to a few idlers that great fortune lay bofoie thorn by sagacious investment. Two or threo of these gen tlemen made large sums of three and six dollars in bis habitation. Elated with such prodigious winning, they waftod tho story afar, and tho baso mont was soon overrun with visitors. Market wo men, laboring men, apprentices, negroes, sohool boys wagered their cash at his table, and ho soon booked up twenty-five and fifty dollars por diem. Then'ne took aii office in tjie sow of shops aforesaid, and sold cigars of a bad brand in front; while, in the rear, behind a wooden partition, his illegitimate transactions went on. After a time, his ontry books exhibited dally reoeipts of one hundred and one hundred and twenty-five dollars. Still insatlatej-he turned his lowly habitation into a gambling 'hobso, and at midnight, abandoned women and hardened men Clustered about' lifs polioy table, to indulge in the Swept relaxation of ‘‘ bluff” and “ all fours.” With such engagements, howevor genial or “bluff,” wo do not propose to doftl. Two or three peccadilloes, attached to his polioy affairs, wo shall disclose: TIIE CLBROYMAN’S SON. In the immediate vioinity of this man the son of a country clergyman resided. This youth, tho hope of nn estimable parent, -was a journeyman at same branob of oarnago-making." Ho oame to town with a few hundred dollars in cash, and the enticements of his neighbor over the way wore soon made known to him. Straightway ho bcoamo a patron of policies. At tho first venture ho won a fow dollars. These ho doubled and staked again —and lost. Again ho staked, and again lost, until more than half of his funds were taken from him. Mado desperate by failure, but still confident of success, be staked all that remained, and was pen niless. . HU destitution made him' insane. Sur viving a long illness, ha resumed his trade, but had no mind lor work. \ All his onergieaiwore con centrated upon the policies, and the sad scene was witnessed of the errant lad sweeping the pavement and doing mfcnlal service for .the man who had vbbbed him.” fits recompense fofthis debasemetit hok'i the privilege of crooning three numbers gra L Vilxtonsly in the polity l%s\.

THE CORNER GROCERY. At Randolph street and Girard avenue a grocery was located. The stand was esteemed a good one, and the proprietor, a woman with family, wob a thriving female. She appeared to bo satisfied with her way of life, and believed honest trade the best policy and tea and coffee excellent invest* monts. At this stage of her experience tho policy dealer took up his abode in tho neighborhood. Some customers told fabulous stories of the promise there afforded, and the silly femalosent her boy to the shop with a dime. Said boy returned with a few dollars, the glitter of which quite turned her head. She wagered for a month aad always lost. Once or twice she won. Meantime the grocery deoUnod. Two-thirds of tho profits went into the polioj-dealer s pooket, and finally hor business assumed melancholy proportions. Shedespatched, at every incoming quarter, a depositor at the bank! In return came checks in abundance, but no divi dends. A day or two ago we passed, the grocory. It had gone into other hands: a squalid, wrinkled woman stood at the door of the poiioy-snop, and a filthy child squatted on the steps of its cellar door. Tho grocory woman lived in an adjoining court, but true to the instinct of ber degradation, the pennies were still appropriated to her darling em bitian of making a “ hit.” SCENE AT Tllr. POLIOY OFFICE WHEN THE MBS* SXOB ARRIVES, 1 ,^! ; noon and at five o’olock the wires brioe on the lucky numbers. The mongiel folk who have invested from pennies up to dimes and dollars, rquoeze behind the partition and listen to the an nouncement with haggard, faoee and beseeohing eyca. The success of one is a beacon of hope to all, and an argument for a new investment. Tho boy who filohed from his employer to stake on the numbers ef which he dreamed last night, ktanda hip-sbotten beeido the veteran with one leg, whose maimed aspirations are still sordid. A num ber of negroes, dilapidated beyond restoration, grin grumly in the background, and some women, with matted hair, whose hands dutch nervously at their clotted aprons, orouoh against tho wall, like criminals in tho dook phen the jury is coming in. Outsjdo the door, clustering about the steps, to the manifest discomfort of tho proprietor, are a half score of innocents. They jabber incoherently, being of varied nativities, and have an aptitude for felling over oaeh other, and weeping at will. An anoientlady, perhaps sixty years of age, waits at the threshold, like Hagar at the gate, and al though too deaf to hear the soft announcement of her HI success, opens her aftoienfc eyes at its silent intimation, and says childishly that of such num bers she dreamed, but that dreams go by contra ries, and that next time will be marked by better luck. The ancient wagerer would do as well to stake upon her coffin; ft will be as oertain as the expected prise Some stories repeated to ns of tho terrible effects of tho traffio in polioies we fio not care to repeat. An informont stated to us that the policy shop aforesaid had demoralized the entire neighbor hood. “It has made more misery,” said he, “ than a hundred gin shops.” The wages of arti sans, laboriDg men, oto , in the vicinity, fall into it as naturally as chips into the whirlpool It is a plague-spot in tho vicinity, whch infeots all who pass. Tne courts &od alleys of that quarter knew no other tberao. All have riob promise of a golden fruition; all build their hopes upon vacuity. The law which was meant to protcot the weak, the ig norant, and the oredulous, haß not in this moral oity, executives faithful enough to see its transgres sors punished. ‘ ‘ Personal 5 } —A Half-hour Among Advertisements.— Curious readors ofnewapapors find a wondorful fund of amusement and instrue-* tion in consulting advertisements. Some keen ob server recently stated that a man’s business ability was represented therein, to whioh wo could affix the opinion that a vast amount of business inability may be likewise remarked, coupled with a fair sprinkling of folly. Tho oolumn headed “ Per sonal” appears in some of the ehoap dailies. What a world of satire and of life looks out from its mysterious paraphrases and significant laconi oisins: “Annie, there is a letter for yon in the box — Charles ” Have net Annie and Charles their owd histories, usd what imagination is too sluggish to venture some explanation of this mysterious sig nalling? A passion—an estrangement—parental interference —thwarted efforts at communication— intercepted letters—and, at last, the novel expe dient of dropping a letter without address into tho oentral offioe, and a simultaneous notification to the piniDg affianced through tho columns of tho penny press. Another “personal ” reads as follows: Ant MA*fciAOBABi.B LAUT, of eeni&l nature, agreeable disposition, and possessing available mesne tb,Ht ni&y be invested m business, mar, by responding to this jb Bjuoerjty, meet with ono who is in every way calculated to make a pleasant home and aauccessful fu ture., Having for years been a resident of the Western frontier, he resorts to this as the surest method of forming a congenial acquaintance with haste, a re sponse in good faith will be treated accordingly. Ad dress John G. Wink, Anoka, Minnesota.” Tho of this suggestion is remarkable. Most marriages are viewed Fa the light of business operations, but Mr. Wink proposes to systematize the trade. His finances are evidently out of re pair, and although geniality is specified as a xuibor perquisite in tho merchandise, ho instances the it' mote Western frontier, and demands haste. Siv dog, John G. Wink I alias “ Winklng.” “Hola in every way calculated to make a happy home;” wo should say tbathe was calculating. We doubt that John G. Wink (very sly), is adapted to success in the oonfidenco game ; for'didjhe.nevet'know that <( marriageable ladieipossessihg available means” were also in demand on the Eastern frontier. Very sly dag, John G. Wink; but here is your match: 11 A ) oung Widow of prepossessing appearance and reapeotab'luy. wishes the acquaintance of a Gentleman of wealth, with a vfow to Matrimony.

A widow, yet young, soarce stripped of her 1 mourning weeds, ready to swear a second fealty at; the marriage, altar with tne single provi sion of ** wealth.” And upon tho /ace of this we find tho adulation of “respectability.” We can not that any good woman would issue such pronunciamiento. liather let us think that some dishonored oaataway publishes sach missives, and with a slyness worthy of Mrs. Wink. In the same column wo find categories of runa way boys, whom inflexible masters nave forbidden “all persons to harbor or trust, or they will be dealt with according to law” An ancient arti fice is stated somowhat as follows: “ The person v?ho took a blue gingham umbrella from £0 Flem ings street, had better rotum it, as the person is known.” Observe the dexterous repetition of person, plainly indicative that the advertiser was in doubt whether a man or a woman had been the thief. If the letter was worthy of his vocation be at once deteoted the fraud. We may take up this oolumn at some idle momont and oxnati&te upon it. The Newsboys’ Alp Society.—"We have wqtobpd with ipqoh interest and satisfaction the , stcfidy progress pf this institution, apd are folly satisfied that it is accomplishing a great and good work. taTbe results, as seen in the marked change in the boys living at the home, as woll as in those who reside with their parents, but frequent the home and share its amusements and instructions, are highly gratifying, and afford ample encourage* meat to the managers.
