eye. Tobacco is Democratic institution. A
dandy will ask cub-tailor for cigar light
wealth will spit In the same box with poverty-and
dignity and dirt must sneeze alike if they snuff.
Tobacco is leveler of distinctions.
No true patriot and republican, with an average
allowance of brains ever opposed it. Greely says
hard things of it, but Greely is radical and an
enthusiast He opposes slavery, and hanging, and
liquor drinking and all the glorious institutions
that our revolutionary forefathers fought bed and
all that sort of thing, for.
Dickens laughs at it, but he is an English ars-
tocrat, and of course contemns any favonte of the
Democracy. Seneca abuses it, but Seneca is q
Twaddler, and would not have made bGd figure
in the Dunciad.
But this is not all. Since the introduction os
tobacco into the Eastern continent, Popery has de
clined, Science has improved, Literature has bee
more generally diffused, and we have no doubt bu
that the whole system Of Inductive Philosoph
owes its origin to this invaluable vegetable. Uny
til about three hundred years ago the world ha ),
puzzled itself with the subtlees ofthe schoolmeno
the chimeras of the alchensts, the absurdties o,s
astrologers- they had educed nothing PRACTICAL
invented nothing useful. Sir Walter Raleigh in
troduced tobaeco--then, and not until then Baco N
conceived and published his system of philosophy,
and the world was many steps farther in its pro-
gress. Experimental philosophy is result Of to-

FROM CHILE.

BY the arrival of the ship Canada, on the Goth
ult, advices were received from Valparaiso to the
10th of February.
We CLEAN from the Mercantile Reporter, of the
9Th February, the following items:
In accordance with the new regulation, one
thousand barrels of American flour were imported
on the Goth of January free of duty, the market
price not being more than dollars per quintal
The merchants of Valparaiso gave dinner IN
honor of Sor Don Jeronimo Unneneta, Minister of
Finance who, within the last two years has done
so much in remodeling and reforming the laws on
commerce and navigation.
1t is rumored that the government intends send
ing legation to London. and Mr.. Urmeneta is
spoken of to represent the Chilian government in
England. Sr. Rosales the present ambassador in
France, has up to now been entrusted with the
English relations, but the loan intended to be
raised in England of seven million dollars for the
construction of the Santiago and Valparaiso rail
road requires an agent of talent, to act with cir
cuInspection in the interest of the country.
The American ship Reindeer arrived on the
3Oth of January, from Richmond, q. S., on her
voyage to California. Her cargo consists of COCO
barrels -four lCO0 barrels oats, 1C0O barrels corn
for California.

Head Office, Cliy-street, between Montgomery
and Slnsone-streets, San Francisco.
This Company derived its origin from the "Nortt
Pacific Steam Navigation Company" and is en-
dowed with the privileges enjoyed by that Asso-
citation, viz: The exclusive right from the Hawai-
ian Government, to employ steam IN navigating
between the various Islands IN the Sandwich
group, for the term of five years the use OF the
Government Wharf at Honolulu, and the right of
introducing all supplies required by the Company
duty free.
On the 18th of December last, the "North Pa
ciiic Company" chartered the American steamship
Constitution and despatched her to the Islands,
under the management of VIM. Glen, ESQ.,, with a
view to ascertan the nature and extent of field open
for the exclusive occupation of the Company, and
although Mr.. Glen arrived at period of depression,
perhaps unequalled in the commercial history OF
the Islands, he established the fact from expert
ments made with the Constitution, and from the
most reliable statistical data that the prospects OF
the Company have no parallel on the Pacific coast
considering the amount of capital necessary to be
employed. Mr.. Glen's Report will be found sub
joined.
i On the success of this project will un-
doubtedly depend, in great measure, the ulti-
mate establishment of steam communication be-
tween California and China. In fact, aside from
the numerous advantages found within itself, this
project may be considered in the light Of primary
st,n towards the attainment of that object. The
great importance, therefore, of this enterprise to

DEATH OF WILLIAM PITr.-Pitt died at SOL
itary house on Wimbledon Common. Not far off
the roadside stood, and still stands small country
inn. where the various parties interested in the
great statesman's life were accustomed to apply
for information and leave their horses and carria-
ges. On the morning of the 22nd January, 1906,
an individual having called at the inn, and not
being able to obtain satisfactory reply to his in
quiries, proceeded to the house Of Pitt. He knock
ed, but no servant appeared; he opened the door
and entered; he found no one in attendance he
proceeded from room to room, and at length enter
ed the sick chamber. where, a bed, in silence,
and in perfect solitude, he found, to his unspeaka-
bic SURPRISE the dead body of that great statesman
who had so lately welded the power of England,
and influenced, if he did not control, the destnes
of the world.

manent existence, we find a trade already created
which IS ample to warrant the employment of even
two steamers, and see soil of surprising fertili-
ty being extensively cultivated by cheap labor, un-
der intelligent management, in the produo ton of
Coffee, Sugar, Tobacco, etc.. all requiring mar
ket foreign to the place of growth. With these
and other unmistakable evidences of rapid and
enormous increase in the wealth and commerce of
these Islands, the projectors of this Company feel
doubly warranted in placing so desirable an oppor-
tunity for safe and profitable investment before the
capitalists of California. Overtures have been
made to the Company by those representing Brit
ish capital, for the whole of the Capital Stock,
with view to place it in the English markets
where the advantage of such monopoly as is en-
Joyed by this Company well understood and
eagerly sought for. The projectors, however. have
resolved to open the books of the Company in this
city, for the disposition of so per of the stock
In the meantime, one steamer will be put on the
route, and will be followed by the othertwo as soon
the asnecessary contracts for building can be enter
ed into and completed.
The stock books will be opened on Thursday,
4th March, at the Banking Houses of Messrs. Page,
Bacon & Co and Burgoyne & Co., and viii remain
open to subscription until 4ih of April following,
when such portions of the stock assigned to San
Francisco,l as may be unsold, will be withdrawn
for foreign account. Ten per cent only, of the
Capital Stock is required for all present uses; the
subscriptions will therefore be COVERED by cash de-
post of ten per cent. and nstalments hereafter as
the Company may require, in the pursuit OF its le
gitimate business.

THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.

Our attention has Just been called to. and oul
interest engaged by, the work to which we have
alluded and in its present connection with subjects
now uppermost in the public mind, we feel conf
dent our readers will thank us for gathering from
it some of the more important of the facts it fur
nishes, coming, as they do, from source that may
be received with perfect confidence. The work
we allude to is one recently published in England
by ]. H. Skene, Esq. Its title is:-"The Three
Eras of Ottoman History Political Essay on the
late Reforms of Turkey, considered principally as
affecting her position in the event Of War taking
place." Iii informed persons, speaking or writing
of the Turkish army, apt to treat 1t as ineffcl-
ent, badly equipped, Ill disciplined, and in every
respect inferior to that of any other of the great
powers of Europe. So far is this from being the
case appears froo the facts gwen by this writer
thIt the Turkish army is at the present moment in
more efficient state thln it has been at any time
during the last two centuries, and that IN the event
of q war, the Sultan would probably be able to
maintain himself single handed and alone, even
against the combined attacks of Austria and
Russia.
We have not room to follow the writer we speak
Of IN his excellent review OF the history OF Turkey;
we propose to confne ourselves to her present con-
dition In this connection, however, it is necessary
to state that early in the present century, the In
subordlnation of the Janssiries, or standing army
of Turkey, had become such, that it was found
necessary to overthrow then, as the only alterna-
tive to the overthrow of the empire itself. With
many difficulties anl much danger, this was finally
accomplished While the Sultan was replacing
the Janissaries by regular and better disciplined
troops, and before he could organize new army,
the ambition of Russia sought to take advantage OF
his condition by an unprovoked and unlustiiiable
war. Taken thus at disadvantage, Turkey was
defeated and compelled to assent to a humiating
treaty of peace. Since then, number Of years of
uninterrupted peace have enabled the Sultan to
form powerful and well disciplined army. We
cannot give in detiil Mr.. Skene's minute account
of the organization Of this army. 1t is divided into
six separate armies, each consisting OF two services
the active and the reserve. The whole establish
ment of the former belonging to the active service,
amounts to 10000 men, but its effective strength
is at present l23,OAO. The reserve now composes
