TOBACCO.-We were standing the other day
on the avenue, little below the National
Hotel in front Of Sessfords store, when we
heard an admirer of the weed, who had Just
stepped out from his store, where he had been
luxuriating with the choicest articles Of the
kind, give vent to his admiration in the follow
ing lines from the poet, Byron:
Sublime Tobacco which from east TO west
cheers the tar's labor the Turkman's rest;
Which on the Mosiem's ottoman divides
His hours, and rivals opium and his brides;
Magnificent IN STEAMBOAT, but less grand,
Though not less loved, in Wrapping or the Strand
DIVINE III hookas. glorious in pipe,
When hpp'd with amber, mellow. rich and ripe
Like other charms, wooing the cares
More dazzlingiy when daring in full dress:
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties--Give me a cig:r.'

throughout the building. The splendid en-
cravings and paintings which decorate the

OF gallery of fine arts The apartments are
furnished in u most elegant style; evincing a
desire to give to the guests all the accommoda-
ton to be desired in a hotel of the first order.
As caterer for the public, Casparis is so well
known, that concentration from US is unneces-
sary. All who visit the house will judge for
themselves. -"

DEVELOPMENT OF FRAuD.-Every now and
then facts are elected which serve to explain how
some Of the fast young men" are enabled TO
make SO much show on moderate salaries. Here
is another instance as related by the N Y Journal
of Commerce:
An old established iron manufacturing firm found
itself seriously embarrassed in Its finances, and
has Just been obliged to make an assignment to It's
creditors. Upon an examination of the business
accounts it was discovered that the clerk, who had
devoted considerable time to sailing yachts and
trotsing fast horses and finally sailed or Europe on
pleasure trip had been unfaithful to the trust con-
hded to him. Among other contrivances for lining
his pockets, he had been accustomed, each payday,
to set apart considerable amount as the share OF
wages due to workmen who had not been In the
employ of the concern for year past and an.
propriating the same as he saw fit.
