Tobacco is unusually promising, and if early
frosts go not prevent, the crop will be one of the largest
and best over gathered in America.

According to the Telegraph there appears to have
boon a squabble last week at Homburg-on-the-Heights,
between a captain of her Majesty's 92d Regiment and a
Mr. 11., an American. The Telegraph is fond of mansa-
tional pictures, and its staff are noted for drawing on their
imagination, so we accept with a large margin of allowanes
its statements of the occurrence. The captain, who sat in
therestaurant at dinner, with the American between him and
the window, directed the waiter to open it, to which the
American who was close to it objected, but the Irish officer
insisting, the master of the restaurant was sent for, who
endeavoured to satisfy both by keeping the window par-
tially open. The American, rising from his place, told the
Irishman that he was "a sneak," which Paddy resentei by
an unexpected blow,which floored the person who thus off-
hand delivered the oracular opinion on his character.
The Telegraph, finis fault with the American because ho
handed the affair over to the police. Had ho taken a carv-
ing knife and cut the Irishman's throat, he would Lave
acted more in accordance with the traditions of his own
country, and answered the expectations of the Telegraph.
But the American appears to have been more sensible
after, than before he" collided" with the Irishman. Neither
appears to have shown " striking" good manners, and wo
certainly think that the consent of the person sitting next
the window should be obtained before that of another in
the middle of the room insisted on its being opened or
places changed.

R A ILWAY ENGINES AND TIIE SMOKE NUISANCE.—
' Toe North-Eas!ern Company were dvfendaLts at Tadeas-
ter on Monday against an information laid by a p dice-
constable for having emitted smoke front one of their
locomotiv.3 engines on the 12th ult., contrary to section
11, Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 20, which enacts that every
locomotive st am-engine used on the railway shall be
constructed ou the smoke-consuming principle, and ren-
ders the company liable 0 a tine of £•i per day fur using
any engine not so constructel. On an undertak!ng to
remedy the nuisance the ease was dismissed on payment
of costs.
