Tas unfortunntely proved that tho o Joof this country are very unwilling to ay anythlng to the Uovernmunt in the way of dircet taxatlon. Ilvnce, this ndirect, or, {ospeak more correctly, this voluntary tax, whileh was first brought out jn Genon nbout the wlddte of the suventcenth century, hns been continned from ono set of rulers to an- other, and hins always been found THE MOST PIROFITABLE of the varlous fmposts levied by the State. TTho gross lncome annually derlved from the Lotto is gomewhero from fes, 80,000,000 to fes, 10,000,000, It wo dednct from this 68 por cent for the winnings, 7 per cent for tho sums pali tha ticket-sellers, and fes. 1,000,000 for {be expensesof managemient, wo find that the Government derlves a net revenuo of from fes, 21,000,000 to fes. 94,000,000 from the fifty- two drawlngs o year at Naples, Rome, Flor- ence, Milan, Palormo, Barl, Turln, and Venlee, . 2 "”(l"h'n Secretary of the Naplas Administra- tian, in which Province there are more Lotto plagers than anywhere elso fn the Kingdom, yas guod enough to offer mo’ every facility for witnessing the drawing, which tnkes place erery Saturdoy nfternoon, In the spuclous courtyard of tho Palezzo dol Lotto in this city, In the winter tho drawings tuke place at . 1., bat, commencing with Inst Snturday, the atof Aprll, tho public In this city are al- Jowed to Invest unttl 2:30p. ., and the draw- Ing takes place at 5 o’clock.

At all Impor- tant plnces'whera the President appearcd, his smiling and aceomplished wifa was by hissido. Many thought she wns affected, that she was too demonstrative, and often- times almost bolsterous, But, then, every- body muat be critiolsed, and everybody must have his any, and In all this saying no one vretended to question that Mrs, 1layes was very potent in her way, 1n the present mistresa of thoAVhite-1ouso wo havo n much stronger woman In every way than Mrs, Ilayes, She is not so demon- strative, Bho would not attract Bo inuch nt- tontion at an evening-party, She Is not so fond of parnde. and of appearing in publie. But, ns the devoted members of a rollglous flnck are fondl of saying of u successful min- ister's wife, sho wears woll, One falls to see all there Is of her in a short interview. Bhe appears ofton to tho stranger to bo roti- cent, and tov retiring to muke hin feel exnctly at homo: but, the sccond and third timo ho meets her, he begins to appreeinte her sterling, wonanly qualities, and likes her better than almost any othor woman he ever know, Whatever of truth or inlsehood thore may bein the story republished recently, that Qon. Garfleld once doubted, after his engage- ment, whoether Miss Rudolph was the woman for him, there lias been no doubt on his part since his marringe. No great man in public 1ifo to-dny 8o implicitly relles upon tho judg- mont of his wife In wmany great afuirs as Gon. Garfiold, This hns bocomo a habdlt of life with him; and, should the present seri- ous illncss of tho mistress of tho White llousu provo fatal, the Presidunt’s frionds foar very much tho offect it might have upon him. No onv who does not know can apprecinta the complete inastory of stntecratt which Mrs, Garfield possesses. All through the campaign she was nnder tho snine mental straln ns the Gen- crnl himself, The Cabinet strugglo was hors a3 much na his. 8ho has been busy and anx- lous to entertaln the thousands of friends whe flocked to the White 1louse on overy concelvable errand; and theso things, com- bined with the bad - condition of the Execu- tive Manslon, the ot wenther coming so sud- denly, tho turriblo stato of tho Potowuo fluts, and the poar sownge of tho clty, preaipitated tho comblination of disurdors that hava latd lior low, &hould Mra.
