THE BRITISH ANTI•TOBACCO
SOCIETY.

The 19th annual meeting cf thus society wu held on
Monday evening at Exeter hall, Dr. C. Drysdale, ot the
Metropolitan Yee° liospltal, in the chair. The meeting
WAS very thinly attended.

- -
The report for the past year dwelt upon the ravages
made by the use of tobacco on the physical and mental
constitutions, and affirmed that sufficient WM known
of the "consniting room "to justify the assertion that
but for smoking, the application of the male sea for
medical advice would be like angel's visits—few and
far between. The inhalers of the fumes of tobacco
were daily sacrificing the inestimable blessing of
health and manifesting by their conduct that
seneual gratification seas their paramount life-object.
A French correspondent of the society had hesitated
not to express his conviction that smoking hal much
to do with the present state of things in Paris, and
as if brandy would not of itself be eutficient to excite
the National Guards to open action, the society
learned from Versailles that an infusion of the
bewieffing drug, tobacco, was discovered in brandy at
Fort Day ; and it was added that this had the effect of
making all the wounds fatal. Dr. Richardson, who had
made some interesting microscopical investigations on
the blood of the smoker, eudorsed the sentiment that
enuoking retarded the process of healing, Stress was
laid on the tendency which smoking had to lead to
tippling and consequence pauperiem, and surprise was
expressed at ths apparant indifference with which this
impediment to matureness of body and dignity of mind
was viewed by those who were svoueoly desirous of pre.
venting the decline of their fellow creatures in the
physical, social, and religious scale. Satisfactory meet-
ings of the society had been held in Lewes, Tunbridge
Wells, Maidstone, Isle of Wight, Manchester and
other towns. The statement of acoonnta showed a
falling off in the receipts for the past year. The dona-
tion. and subecripilons had amounted to £l4B 12s. 3d.,
and the receipts from journals and other publications
to L 56 4e.
. .

no, report was adopted, as was also a resolution to
the effect that there was cause for anxiety for coming
posterity in the extent to which smoking was practised
by the youth and young men of the country.
The meeting was addressed by the chairman and by
Dr. J. Ellis, both of whom dwelt upon the injurious
effects produce i upon the physical and mental system
by the use of toloacc and a vote of thanks to the
chairman closed the proceedings.

of the prosecution was thin the prisoner 1 e• had several
trucks of scrap iron, including rails, at Round Oak Sta-
tion, near lord Ddliey'im works, and thet he indused
Green to throw on one of the trucks the mail said to b.
stolen, with intent ti increase the aright of material.
Evidence in support of this view was given, the principal
item being that the rail had upon it in three places the
mark of his lordship. For mlie defence, it was urged
that there wan Is deal of shunting at ltiond Oak, and
that Green found Lord Dudley's rail lying on the
ground, and seeing similar rails on Iles's track asked
him it it was his. Upon receiving an answer to the erect
that it was likely, he three the rail upon th• truck.
Several witnesses were csilcd, who deposed that the act

Mr. WHALLEY, M.P., on the REFUGEES

of the COMMUNE.

On Tueeday evening, Mr. Whalley, M.P., addressed
a meeting f hie constituents at Peterborough. With
reference to the question of refusing to the refugees from
Paris an asylum in England, he spoke as follows :

_
Parliament Is now closed, but had I no other call here I
should have visited you to ask your concurrence in the pro-
teat I now offer against the monstrous doctrine that the
refugees from Parts are to be denied an asylum in Enslave'.
The question wee put to Mr. Bruce on Friday last but
morellos to the forms of the "louse no discussion could
lake place upon it. Though he did not dare to accept
the suggestion that the door of England !should be closed
against these unhappy fugitives, his reply was so
vague—and I will say so unworthy of a Minister of
England—us to demand a protest against it. A '• diffi-
cult question," indeed. What could be the dial:silty
of declaring that the Communists, by the TOCNIA(.IOI3 of
M. Tiller, himself, and of the Versailles Assembly, were, in
defending Paris, acting under a sense of political right lip
whom was Napoleon deposed? Was it not by the Cm-
mushy of Paris? And by what authority was the Assembly
elected not by Fame, Gambetta, and others who accetted
from the Commune the power which they so wofully abused
and misomployed I say note word NJ ustilicstion of the
sots of Om Commune, or of their policy altaer before or after
the Versatile. Aasembly was appointed. beyond what I have
seen In Paris with my own eyes, or heard with my own ears,
and in these matter, little else Is to be relied on. I know
nothing about them; but this I do know, as does all the
world, that the Assembly of Versailles, against which they
have been lighting, we. actually the result of their action
alter the dep taltion of Napoleon, and therefore they
have aa much right, as any men that ever engsged in
war, t the rights of belligereqs, and Should so have been
treated by their opponents. If ever this country was called
upon to maintain in•lolable Its most ancient and sacred
tradition of refuge, It In In this case. For my own park I for
one shall not forget the conduct of Belgium in this ad air
when we are asstu acted for some millions to defend her
territory, as last August; and It will, to my mind, be a
reproach to C. that tiwitserland Cock the lead. This, how-
ever, I feel assured is not your net, or that of the people of
Ruslatid, but solely of the Government, whlch In this respect
has, I am convinced, felled In doing justice to the generous
traditl told Melina, of our country—the Inviolable refuge of
political outcasts.

At the close of the meeting the following resolution
was unanimously passed :—" That this meeting ape
proves of the conduct of Mr. Whalley in reference to
the l'arie insurgents, and considers that the political
refucees should be, as in other cases, swelcdine to Eng-
land."

GOING TO THEIR DEATH IN 1793 AND IN 1871!

The principle of a word and • blow Is carried to excess,
and it will be • curious thing • little later on to ascertain the
number of innocent people who will have been shot down for
attempting to disobey the orders of some Imperious National
Guard. The sham,,lee have been established at the end of
the Boulevard kfaleshorbes, and it Is • lugubrious spectacle
to see men and women of all ages and conditions of life defile
post at Intervals In that fatal direction A party of some
300 moved across the Boulevard only a few moments ago,
surrounde I by a cordon of National Guards In very smart
coats and tricolour nation a—very silent most of them, for In
time. I.ke there suspicion is equivalent to condemnation,
and Ills Idle waste of time so attempt • defence which will
not be listened to In 1793 the victims were taken to the
eC4ffold on tumbrils; In 1071 they go to their death on foot;
Instead of the guillotine knife the rlfle-bullet is used. The
difference Iles only In the means employed, the principle
being much the same in both Instance.. . .

A MELANCHOLY rrisoDE!

Near the Parc Monceau a melancholy episode occurred.
A husband and wife were seized and ordered to march for-
ward towards the Place VendOme, • distance of a mile and
a half. Tbey were both of them invalids, and unable to walk
No far. The woman sat down on the kerbstone and declined
to move a step, in spite of her husband'. eutreatiee that she
would try She persis.ed in her refusal, and they both knelt
down together, begging the geodarms e who accompanied them
to shoos theta at once, if shot they were to be. Twenty
revolvers were fired, but they still breathed, and it was only
at the seacuid discharge that they finally sank down dead.
The gendarmes then ride away, Nevis, g the bodice as they
had fallen. The street. on the other side of the river present
even a more piteous spestscle than those of the Qoartler

the Qdartier St. Germain are • mere heap of ashen Radials

THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE
EVENTS IN PARIS.

One of the newspapers recently suppressed by the
Commune—the Paris Journal—found means to re-
sume publication M Paris, on Saturday. It says In a
notice which appears at the commencement of its
number :

The day on which, thanks to our valiant army, the
bandit, make way for us, we return with the consciousness
of having don• our duty se long as it was potsible ; with the
will to condone to do It still in defending Justine and society
spinet ths vilsal enemies which modern times have raised
tin against them. We braved the emoute when it was
victorious ; vanquithed we shall fight against it still It was
without right; Is wits without pity. We, having right, shall
be like it, without pity.'

• - -
The Independante frantaiit, another psper recently
suppressed writes in similsr terms. It says :-
- •

"At lest Farb, Is freed from this gang of bandits, returned
convicts, asesseins, thieves, and incendiaries, who have
infested It for two months, under the pretext of the Com-
mune, Central Committee, Delegation of Public Safety, and
federation. At last the French army has returned within
our walls—that valiant and noble army to unworthily aban-
doned by those who had commanded It for the last eight
months. Our invincible and unvanguished soldiers have
returned, bringing with them order and security in the (aids
of that glorious tricolour which has ' gone all round the
world with our liberties and our glories' . . . At the moment
when we breathe again, when the air Infected by the impale
current of these odious monsters the Coe munitte) Is re-
entering our lungs a sole cry can proceed from our Ups, and
that cry will be uttered by all Frenchmen
"No PITY Fit 711E9E WRET,IIPS
'One punishment alone can expiate their crime:—

•'.
The Petit Moniteur Unirerset adops much the same
tone. It says that a cry of melodic' i's wi!l arise not
only throughout all France, but throughout the civilized
world at the news of the inc endisriam by which the
Communists have "completed their work." "Thee.
assassins, thieves, cut-throats, and incendiaries," are
not, it says, Parisians or Frenchmen, they belong to
the whole world. " France will not grieve alone over
these disasters," adds the Petit Monittur. "The victim
of her too generous hospitality, she will draw herself
up in the full grandeur of her misfortune, and feeling
all her children close around her, she will coot MI this
,smopolitan scum—these international drily. This
will be justice, and all humanity will be grateful to
her."

THE COMING HARVEST.

Mr. J. J. Meat, Tiptree•hall, near Kelvedon,
Beata, under date May 29, Writes.—
A long and memn winter, a deep snow In March, and
thee, weeks of white frosts In May, following heavy rains
late in April, have retarded vegetation by keeping the soil
at • low temperature, and have claimed the crops, especially
on heavy, undralued lands, to look pale and unthrifty.
Many light lands and len lands have lost the whole or a
portion of their wheat plants by the estreme winter trout.
Now that we have an agreeable change, with bright sunshine,
Nature Is making her grand effort, and the wheat crops on
destined, deeply-cultivated, and well-farmed lands are re-
awning their healthy colour, growing vigorously and rapidly,
and promising an abundant yield.

But, as muds heavy, undrained, shallow-ploughed, and
poorly.f armed clays, the contrast is strikingly unfavourable,
the plants not having tittered well, and the crops looking
pale, the flag thin, narrow, and vertical. Last year, owing
to the great heat and dryneu, the unimproved clays
produced very good wheat crops but the eau Is entirely
altered now. Last year was • fatally dry one for light
lands and pastures, but this uasou the light lands have
the advantage, and promise generally good crops, both
wheat and eprthg crops, where there is a fall plant. There
I. • promise of plenty of beans and peas, and the winter
tare, and rye are first-rate. Permanent pastures (23,00,0011
*ono, or half the cropped land of the Veiled Kingdom,
promise en average crop, although gomewhat deficient In the
doer grassee, which, being shallow-rooted, are supposed to
have perished in last year'. drought Clovers of last year's
sowing are patchy and Indifferent, the young plant having
perished In itlAt summer'. drought. Mengel, where the land
has been properly prepared before winter, plants well. Not
many potatoes are grown in this neighbourhood. Fruit trees
are much blighted.
All the crops co this farm, both On the light and heavy
land, promise abundantly, the only exception being • field uf
red clover.

Altogether, I have an impreraton that the quantlty of
human ends. trust food (Including meat, butter, cheese, and
milli) will, together, be greater this year than last, but that
the wheat crop on the heavy undrained clays will be much
lest than that of last year.
There was an Impression that harvest would be later than
nsoM, but the cmpt on well-farmed land are now making
rapid growth. •
