HoRRoRs OF OPIUM EATING.-A writ

HoRRoRs OF OPIUM EATING.-A writer
in India, who has been a constant witness
of the terrible effects of opium eating, draws
a most startling picture of the horrible Sen
sations to which the victim of this practice
subjects himself In two years from the
time he commences its use he must expect
to die. and death most terrible, and which
makes one shudder to think of. After the
habit becomes confirmed, the countenance
presents an ashy paleness-the eyes assume
a wild brightness-the memory fais-the
gait totters-menla and moral courage sinks,
and frightful marasmus or atrophy reduces
the victim to CHASTITY speclre-a living
skeleton. There is no slavery Of body and
mind equal to that of the opium aker.-
Once infatuated to its doses as a fictitious
stimulant, every thing will be endured ra-
Their than the privaion of it, and The unhap-
py victim endures all the consciousness oil
his own degraded state, while ne is ready
10 sell all he has in the world-to part with
family and friends-rather than surrender
the use of his fatal drug-the transient de-
light, The pleasurable sensations and i'm
aginatiye ideas arising at first, soon pas:
away; they become fainter and fainter, ant
at last give place to horrid dreams; appalling
pictures of death-spectres of fearful visagt
haunt the mind; the light Of heaven i:
converted into the gloom Of hell; sleep
"balmy Sleep" flies forever; night succeeds
day, to be clothed in never-ending horrors
-incessant sickness-vomiting and tota
arrangement of the digestive organs ensue
and death at last relieves the victim of thi
sensual enjoyment.

TOBACCO IN GERMANY-From Bremen
paper we gather the following particulars
with regard to the tobacco trade in the Ger
man States composing the Zoll-Verien:
"The League derives from its own culture.
annually, 100000 cwt. of tobacco, and i'm
ports from the United States the further
quantity of 235,00O cwt., equal to 80 4 per
cent. of the whole quantity supplied by this
country to Europe. In the eight years be-
tween 1884 and 1912, the consumption of
foreign leaf tobacco had increased 81 per
cent, and it was estimated that in a few
years the quantity required from the. United
States would be 100000 cwt. These esti-
mates are made with reference to the tobac-
co required for consumption alone; indie
pendently of which, Germany receives an
nually from the United States 100000 cwt
Of leaf tobacco for manufacture and re-ex-
portalion."

WooL.-From an extract Of letter from
Western New ork, we learn that Eastern
wool buyers are busy in Rochester and vi
entity, purchasing largely. On the 18th
lot was taken at 3S CTS. in
Ontario county, by Connecticut manulac-
turer. 81 1-2 cents was offered for 10000
lbs. 5000 lbs. from Illinois sheep sent out
there by the grower year or two since
and the grower refused to sell his entire lot
at this rate, and expects to get more. Other
farmers in Ontario county had sold earlier
in the week at 35 cents; and some as low
as 80 cents, for mixed lots; but spectators
are now offering freely % cents for large
lots of choice wool

The Washington correspondent of the
Sun, under date of the 26th ull., thus hits
off a scene before the Orphans Court of that
city:
"An officer of the Treasury Department
was cited to appear as a witness in case,
hearing before Judge Causin, in the Or
p!hlans' Court, and made his appearance there
this morning.
"One of the parties and this gentleman
mad some very disrespectful words, in which
the term ''liar" was used much more fire.
quenty than should have been permitted.
The counsel of the party at this time came
into court, and was appealed to by his eli
emf to subsantiale his assertion. The coun-
sci either did so, or was understood by tbs
witness as doing so, when the witness ask
ed the counsel if he (the counsel) intended
to call him (the wilness) liar, accompany
ing the question with an attempt to strike.
The blow was parried, and the witness was
thrown on the floor. In an instant all was
confusion, in the course of which his.Sonor
the Judge, the register of wills and two
others were thrown down, making in all
five persons knocked down. The gentle
man from the Treasury was the only one
injured; his right arm was dislocated. DR..
Hall was sent for, but not finding his patient
in very great suffering, carried him home.
there to ''bind up his wounds" 1t is but
proper to state that the latter gentleman had
risen from a bed of sickness TO attend the
court, and was then very weak. The fol-
lowing are the names:-Witness, Jas. w.
Mccullough, lst comptroller of the Trea-
sury; party TO the suit, Bigelow; coun-
sci, Jos H. Bradley, Esq.

DARING HIGHWAY Extraordinarily

DARING HIGHWAY RoBBERY-Thursday
morning last, says the Baltimore Sun, as
Miss Mary Deems, with female friend,
was returning in wagon from the Bel
Air market, when they had got little dis
lance above the gates of the Greenmount
Cemetery, they were accosted by gen.
teelly-dressed villain, who, approaching the
wagon, suddenly grasped the wrist of Miss
Deems and broke from it gold bracelet
retaining his hold of her wrist he grasped a
chain around her neck, attached to gold
watch, which he pulled from her bosom.
and by sudden jerk broke the chain and
made off with his booty. The watch cost
$50. The screams of the ladies were heard
ny some men at work at Jenkins tan yard,
who came out to their assistance, but the
rascal succeeded in making his escape down
the willows by the road.

New WORK ON THE CULTIVATION OF To
BAcco-We understand that a work upon
the cultivation of tobacco is now in the
course of publication in the city OF New
Y ork. 1t is a translation from a Spanish
work, originally published in Cuba, by a
person having great experience in the cult
vation of tobacco. The title of the work
is 1.-THE Tobacco Planters Guide, or I'm.
portant Instructions for the Cultivation OF
Tobacco" The work will have special
application to Maryland, and all the States
south and west of it,

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.-We
learn from the National Intelligencer of Sa-
turday morning, that the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company have entered into a
contract with Messrs. Walter Gwynn, Will
liam Beverhout Thompson, James Hunter,
and Walter Cunningham, for the compile
ton of the Canal to Cumberland within two
years from this time, and that the agents of
the State of Maryland have approved the
contract.
The Intelligencer says: 1.-THE work is to
be commenced within thirty days from the
25th instant; and, from the experience which
these contractors have had in the execution
of works of this character, and their high
standing as gentlemen and men of business,
we may confidently hope that they will ac-
complish their great undertaking with adj
vantage to all parties interested.'
The Washington Constitution says the
sum stipulated to be paid is $1,700,O0O, be-
ing the par value of the bonds authorized to
be issued by the Company, by the last act
of the Legislature.

THE BURNT DISTRICT IN NEW YORK
Mason & Tutlle's New York Advertiser
says: ''We walked over the burnt district
this morning, and were actually surprised
to see the number Of buildings in process
of erection. We seriously believe that by
the fist Of November, Broad, Beaver, New,
and MarketfeId streets will be built up, and
that hardly veslige of the great fire of the
18th July will be left. The ruins are still
smoking, and by the side of them large and
costly blocks of stores are going up as if by
magic. The burnt district in short time
will be one Of the most beautiful sections of
the city.

AMERICAN TEA.-The September num-
Der of the Southern Planter states, that a
successful attempt has been made in Virgil

of his tea in the Henrico Agricultural Fair
in November.

New FAsHIoN.-The New York Mirror
says that it has become fashionable to give
wedding parties at hotel. Twosfashion-
able wedding parties have already been SO
given. The parties were married in church,
but received the congratulations of their
friends, and gave them oysters, cake and
wine in return, at the up Town Hotel.''
The Mirror adds: We have heard it ru-
mored that certain leading families in "Ja-
ponica-dom' are about to adopt another
Paris fashion, and give parties at this house
during the holiday season, thereby saving
not little trouble in the way of soiled car
pets, broken crokery, extra servants, cooks,
&c

The Baltimore American of Saturday last
says: s'The fall trade of Baltimore may now
be said to be at its height. The merchants
and dealers from the interior,south and west,
are here in full numbers. and wholesale ope-
rations in dry goods, domestics, grocer
hardware, &C., are going forward briskly am
extensively. Indeed every branch of bust
ness is active and healthful, and the general
condition of Baltimore prosperous and pro
gressive. An unusual number of new
houses-stores and dwellings-of all class
es are in the course of erection, and if we
mistake not the improvements in this =
of the present year will exceed in e
and character those of any previous VI

WARREN ToBACCo-We saw a few DAYS
ago. says the editor of the Winchester Vir-
gnian, several large hogsheads of Tobacco,
passing through our town, destined for Bal
timore Market. 1t was raised, we under
stand, by Mr.. - Leary of Warren coun-
ty, who we learn is engaged pretty eGen-
sively in the produce of that article. The
farmers of Warren county have been direct
ing their attention to the culture Of this
valuable crop for several years past, and SO
admirably adapted is their land to its pro-
duction, that tobacco will probably become,
at no distant day, its leading staple.

HANDSOME PLATE.-We had the plea
sure yesterday of examining handsome set
Of Silver Plate, consisting of magnificent
Pitcher and Sugar Dish, each resting upon
la silver waiter. On the centre of the body
of the Pitcher is shield, with an American
flag on each side, and the shamrock starting
from the bottom of the shield, and going
round the body. On the lower part of the
body are four leaves and blossoms, two in
ches in height. Around the neck is small
border representing shell work, and in the
centre of it a grape vine, among the leaves
OF which are mingled thick clusters of that
luscious fruit. The top Of the foot is rich
lily bordered with roses. On the bulge of
the foot is a border similar TO that on the
neck. The bottom besil is also bordered
with rose leaves and roses The handle
represents Dolphin, and Is richly chased.
The following are the dimensions of this
beautiful article:-height of the body ga
inches; width of body across the top ga
inches; height Of neck 2 IA inches; height
tof foot l-2 inches; width of foot across
the top 70 inches; the bulge across the
body being z inches. The price Of the
Pitcher and Waiter was S1SO-lhat OF the
Sugar Dish, which is chased to correspond
with Pitcher and Waiter, $97.50-making
lin all S277.50. This Plate has been gotten
up by Messrs. r. & A. Campbell, Of this
city, under the direction of Peylon r. John
son, Esq, Proprietor of the Canton Course,
and is intended to be run for, free of entrance,
at the ensuing October races. 1t reflects the
hInho tbo 50
those by whom it was wrought, while it
speaks well for the liberal dis position of the
Proprietor Of the Canton Course. 1t will

A CATHOLIC BISHOP CONDEMNED TO
DEATH.-.4uempted Rescue.-The U. S.
frigate Constitution, Capt. Percival, on her
passage from Borneo to Canton, put into
Huron Bay, Cochin China, to refit and re-
paint the ship. The authorities prohibited
intercourse with the people. Mandarins
came on board and letter was secretly de-
livered 10y one of them, purporting to be
from Frenchman Of the name of LIE Fevre,
who signed himself Bishop of lsauriopiIes.
and Apostolic Vicar Of Cochin China, stat
ing that he had been seized by the govern
nent, put in irons, and condemned 10 death.
The Mandarns had returned to the shore
before the contents of this letter were ascer-
rained when Capt. P. very properly de-
termined to demand the Bishop, in person.
and proceeded on shore with an armed force
As he could get no answers, nor 81 ghl OF
the highest or chief Mandarin, he seized
three of the Mandarins, and took possession
with three of the ships boats, Of three Of
their war junks. The gun boats fled at the
approach of our boats, and the soldiers were
much frightened and fled, when our men
charged them. The junks and Mandarins
were subsequently released. The Boston
Atlas, from which we obtain these particu
lars, does not say whether the Bishop wa:
released.
