MoNsTRoUs ToBAcco STATISTICS. The
present annual production Of tobacco is est
imated al 4, 100000. 900 pounds-four bill
lions of pouuds! This is all smoked, chew
ed, or snufed. Suppose it all made into
cigars, one hundred 10 the pound, it would
produce 40oO0O,000,o00. Four hundred
billions of cigars! These cigars at the us
ual length, four inches if joined together,
would form ono continuous cigar 35,252,-
$40 miles long, which would eneircls the
earth more than one thousand times. Cut
upinto equal pieces $50, 900 miles in length,
there would be over one thousand cigars
which would extend from the center Of the
earth to the center of the moon. Put these
cigars into boxes ten inches long, four inch
es wide and three inches high, 100 to the
box, it would require 1900, 100000 boxes.
Pile up these boxes in solid mass, and
they would occupy space Of 2e4, ,444 ,444
cubic feet-two hundred and ninesy-four
million cubic feetl Ifpiled up twenty feet
high, they would cover farm of 3S8 acres;
and if laid side by side, the boxes would
cover very nearly 10000 acres Allowing
this tobacco unmanufactured to cost on the
average ten cents pound, and We have
s4.000,000,0o0 expended every year IN
producing a noxious, deleterious eed. At
least one and half times as much more is
required to manufacture il into marketable
form, and dispose Of it to the consumer
At the very lowest estimate then, the hu-
man family expend every year one thous-
and million of dollars in the qualification Of
an acquired habit, or one dollar for every
man, woman and child upon the earthl-
This sum would build two railroads around
the earth at cost of $4,000 per mile, or
sixteen railroads from the Atlantic 70 the
Pacific. It would build one hundred chueh-
es costing $4,000 each, or half q million
of school houses costing $4,000 each, or
one million of dwellings costing $1,000
each. It would employ one million Of
preachers, and one million Of teachers, Civ
ing each salary of $500. It would sup
port three and one-third millions Of young
men at college, giving each $500 per an
mum for expenses. Is this annual outlay
to increase or decrease in future ?-BtFa.

A JOKE BECOMING A REALITY.-Some
weeks ago a noted barber of New York
visited Albany, and of course looked in up
on the gentlemen of the Assembly. Not
ing his presence Mr.. Munday took the oc-
cation to give notice of bill to close all
BARRIERS shops on Sundays. II was de-
signed as a temporary joke. over which
Munday and the barber had laugh and a
bottle Of wine, and nobody hereabouts ever
thought that any thing would come Of it.
But destiny appears to have had marked
out in her book further hearing and more
defined movement. The New York papers,
unable to see the little joke, and not know
ing the individual who had moved the no.
tice, treated the matter seriousl ly-discuss.
ed propriety of proposed snac!ment-arriv-
ed at the conclusion that it was Just and
proper-convinced the BARRIERS that they
were doing a great wrong; and of their
duty in the premises. How was it, they
asked, that BARRIERS shops enjoyed greater
immunities than rum shops-how comes
1t, they demanded, that BARRIERS are not
protected by law, and Sundays sanctiGed
to them as day of rest and opportunity
for attending divine worship-and they SO
insisted on it all, that the BARRIERS simultsn-
eusly and with one accord vowed vow
that there should be no more shaving (of
faces on the Sabbath, that they would petit
ton the Legislature for "an act to prohibit
shaving, shampooning, hair cutting, whis-
ker dying" etc. And they did petition
the Legislature, st great length, and with
most convincing arguments, and Mr.. Nun
day duly presented their petition, and it
had special reference and select COM
mittee, composed of the following indivdu
ais: Messrs. Munday, O'Keefe, Mcguire,
Soaring and Rhodes. OF course we shall
have report and bill, and thereafter
law, and l should not wonder if the law
we're no joking matter, though it be the off
spring of joker and the fruits Of joke.

Sentinel. in one of bis cheerful. gossiping
letters to the New York Courier, writes,
among many other noticeable and readable
things:
"I have been told from an authority
present in the cockpit of the Chesapeake,
when the next officer came down to Cap
tain Lawrence, after he had been brought
there mortaly wounded, that Lawrence did
not say Don't gtos up the ship'-memor-
able, classic and entwined with our annals
as it is in this sentence. What he did say
were those words, and they are just as ex-
pressive and more natural: Flight her tiH
she sinksP"

that Capt. Andrew Andrews, of Richmond,
Lake county. while in the act of stepping
from train in motion. last night at Pains
vile, fell under the wheels of a car and was
so badly crushed, that bis death ensued.-
His body lay upon the track two hours be-

and three children to mourn his loss.
LATER.-Conductor Howe informs US
that Mr., A. jumped from the Night Express
when the train was three-quarters of mile
from the Depot, and of course under 25
miles headway. The rash man lived until
this morning, and said that he jumped off
to save half-mile's travel to his house
He was killed BY the fall, not by being run

The Pyramid OF RayOnets.

The Officers, as we'll as sub-officers of
the Russian horSe-guards are subjected to
the most rigorous discipline, and are requi-
red to execute on horseback, all the man
euvers of theatrical equestrian.
One day an officer of the lancer guard
was going through his exercise before the
Grand Duke. He had performed all the
usual evolutions in the most satisfactory
way until, when at full gallop he was sud
denly ordered to turn.-his horse proved
restive, and refused to obey either bride
or spur.
The command was repeated in a thun-
dering voice, and the officer renewed his
efforts TO make the horse obey it; but with
out effect, for the fiery animal continued to
prance about in defiance of his rider, who
was nevertheless an excellent horseman.-
The rage of the Grand Duke bad vented it.
self in furious imprecations, and all present
trembled fot the consequences. "Halt!''
he exclaimed, and ordered a pyramid of
twelve muskets, with fixed bayonets, TO be
erected. The order was instantly obeyed.
The officer, who had by this time sub
ICED the restiVeness Of bis horse, was or
dered to leap the pyramid-and the spirit
ed horse brought his rider safely over il.
Without an interval of delay, the officer
was commanded to repeat the fearful leap,
and to the amazenent of all present the
noble horse and his brave rider stood in
safety on the other side of the pyramid
The Grand Duke exasperated at finding
himself thus thwarted in his barbarous pur-
pose, repeated the order for the third time.
A general, who happened to be present.
now stepped forward and interceded for the
pardon Of the officer; observing that the
horse was exhausted, and that the enforce
ment of the order would be to doom both
horse and rider to horrible death.
This humane remonstrance %sas not only
disregarded, but was punished by the IN
mediate arrest of the general who had thus
presumed to rebel
The word of command was given. and
the horse and rider for the third time clear
ed the glittering bayonets
Rendered furious by these repeated dis
appointments, the Grand Duke exclaimed
for the fourth time:-'To the left about |!
The command was obeyed,
and for the fourth time the horse leapt the
pyramid, and then, with his rider, dropped
down exhausted. The officer extricated
himself from the saddle and rose unhurt,
but the horse had both bis fore-legs broken
The countenatce of the officer was dead
ly pale, his eyes stared wildly and his knees
shook nnder him.
A deadly silence prevailed as be advan-
ced to the Grand Duke, and laying bis
sword a: his Highness' feet, thanked him
with faltering voice for the hohor be had
enjoyed in the Emperor's service.
al take back your sword" said the
Grand Duke, gloomily, "and are you not
aware of what may be the consequence of
this undutiful conduct toward me"
The officer was sent 10 the guard d-house
He subsequently disappeared, and no trace
of him could be discovered.
This scene took place at St. Petersburg,
and the facts are proved by the evidence of
credible eye-witnesses.

DEATH OF DISTINGUISHED STRANGER.
The ship Wns. Goddard, which arrived
at Boston few days since, from Calcutta,
had on board noble elephant when she
left port; but coon after getting to sea, the
animal became very seasick, bis sufferings
being apparently proportionate to his size.
He also experienced much inconvenience
from cold weather. although he was well
clothed in farnels, and finally he died.
The value of the animal in this country
would have been about $4,000.

Four years previously to July, 1919, Byron

subject Of lines Ofnuch beauty and Pathos, that
are not to be found IN his collected published
works. These lines throw some light on the
apparent indifference which Byron WIS in the
habit Of exhibiting, on occasions Of separation
by death, or other causes, from those he loved
and especially on the occasion of his parting
with Madame GuiccOli, at Il period ofhis EN-
barkation for Greece:

Thy loss with scarce a sigh;
And yet thou vert SURPRISING dear
Too loved Of all to die.

The tears refuse to start;
But every drop its lids deny.
Falls dreary on my heart.

As caVerned waters wear the stone,
Yet dropping harden there
They cannot Petrify more fast,
Than feelings sunk remain,
Which coldly fixed, regErd the past,
But never melt again.
