We believe there is not room connected
with any Of the public Offices Of the Govern
ment that is not occasionally fumigated with
tobacco"
In so saying We did not mean, that every
room was occupied by persons who pursued the
practice; but that such was the " free and
easy fashion Of the times, that visiters on bust
ness felt under no constraint to throw away
their cigars before entering. That there are
many rooms occupied by gentlemen whose sense
of propriety forbids their joining in the practice
is altogether probable. Tftf
We are gratified to see that the chiefs Of at
least two bureaus are SO much concerned on
the subject as to demand Of us whether we can
show that the evil exists in the apartments oc-
cupied by the clerks under them. We would
not for ten thousand choicest Principles give
this information, if we could; but believe that,
as the statements we have made are generally
known and admitted to be correct, the desired
reform may be effected without any particular
instances Of unpleasantness

THADDEUs STEVENS DErEATED.--The Wings

nominated their ticket for county offices. There
was fierce contest between the Silver Grays"
on the one hand, and the "Woolly Heads" led
by Stevens, on the other, which resulted in the
utter rout and discontinue of the "Woolly

WORSE THAN A FOREIGN WAR.-The London
Globe says: "Of the fearful state of Italy no
stranger can form an idea. The priests are
urging things on to ruin. The women side with
their father confessors, taking part with them
and denouncing husband and sons for conscience
sake family union is quite at an end; no one
feels safe from arrest, and no one can foresee
how things can be improved" We know that
affairs are bad enough in Italy; but this picture
has tinge too dark for credence.

Editors are very often requested to work in this

gratuitously. An immense amount Of editorial

individuals. The abuse is very general, and

THE OLD AND THE New TMEs.--In 1924 a

friend at Washington, by due course of mail,

In his condition. Mr.. Calhoun died early on
Sunday morning, and the writer Of this para
graph, though in Washington, did not know Of
the event until eleven o'clock, at which same
hour the streets Of New Orleans were thronged
with persons in earnest conversation upon the
melancholy event.

A PARALLEB.-The New York Courier fur
nishes US with statistics Of the commerce of
Great Britain and the United States during the
year 1850, from which we learn that the total
number Of vessels entered at the ports Of Great
Britain was 26, 498, with an aggregate tonnage
Of 4, 963, 063. The number Of vessels entered
at the ports Of the United States, during the
same period, was 1852, with an aggregate
tonnage Of 4,348,639. The total number of
vessels cleared during the year was, from the
ports of Great Britain 26, 536, with tonnage
of 8, 417,S17; and from the ports of the United
States 1896 vessels, with a tonnage Of 4,361, :
002. The aggregate, both of entrances and
clearances during the year was, in the British
ports SO, 029 vessels, with tonnage of IL, $780,
$50, and in the American ports 36, 707 vessels
with a tonnage Of g, 709,641 Notwithstanding
the large excess in favor of Great Britain, it is
to be observed that if the home tonnage Of the
respective countries be deducted it will be
found that the foreign tonnage Of the United
States exceeds that of Great Britain, viz: de-
Quoting home tonnage from the above totals Of
entries, we have the foreign tonnage entering
British ports to be 1885, 22, and the foreign
tonnage entering the United States ], 776, 1923.

FRENCH PoLITICs.-From the accounts re-
ceived from France, it is probable that in the
coming Presidential election the three branches
of the Royalist party will be unable to agree
upon single candidate, but will run separate
ones, President Louis Napoleon standing sec
ond poll in defiance Of the constitution; De Join
vile being the candidate of the Orleanists, in
spite of his being an illegal candidate, and
Changarnier the candidate Of the Legitimists
In that case it is thought that De Joinyille will
receive the majority of votes, unless Cavaignac
should be run by the whole Democratic party,
in which case the result would be doubtful.

TAKING THE VEIL.-Three young ladies, one
said to be from Boston, went through the sol
emn and imposing ceremony Of taking the veil,
in Providence, on Sunday last. They entered
the church, says the Boston Bee, in their white
flowing and elegant attire, looking more Of the
angel than the woman, in which apparel they
remained while an eloquent and impressive dis
course was preached on the life to which they
were about to devote themselves They then
retired and forever bid adieu to the pleasures
Of the world, to array themselves in the garb Of
their sisterhood. On returning their swelling
and graceful forms, their cheeks, eloquent in
health and beauty, seemed to have left them,
and they left the presence Of the audience with
dull funeral manner and face which chilled
almost every spectator.
