To show how largely men's minds--and perhaps women's too--were filled
with the lottery mania, if we may so call it, in the days of which we
are writing, we will introduce a Southern scheme from the "Petersburg
Intelligencer" of 1816, copied in the "Salem Register," September 11 of
that year. Some of our readers may think that it is not a bad idea.
