ToBAcco CHEWING ~ PUBl1c. THE
private mastication of tobacco, in one 5
own home, parlor bedroom or kitchen, as
the case may be, is an affair to- be settled
between ones wife and ores self. We do
not intend to interfere with the police reg

hands than ours If indulgent wiyeschoose
to have their door-steps and balcony floor
their carpets ruined, and their
parlors and bedrooms irrevocably Jdetiled
with tobacco juice-if they relish the CON

and We do protest against. the outrageous
public nuisance of tobacco chewing. No
man has right to go to a theatre, or any
other public gathering, and seating him

out, at random, streams of tobacco juice
around him. To do this in those parts of
the house where only men are placed, is
in the last degree rude and thoughtless;
butt to carry the revolving practice into the
Of ladies-into the dress circle Of
The theatre, the church pew-and it is ha-
bitually done. in all these places-is little
short Of blackguardism. -.- g., T.. #.s
