Is Toa,cco UswuoLEsoME beyond

Is TOBACCO UNwHoLEsoME beyond a
doubt it is, when used excessively-when smok-
ed and chewcd in such prodigiously unchristian
quantities as are used by some men who would
appear to think that the whole business OF an
Individuals life is to fill the air with as much
smoke as he can, and to spit at, into over, upon
under and around, every object that comes IN
his way. But is it injurious to health when
used moderately ?-that is the question.
The Cincinnati Academy of Medicine had
the subject under consideration few days ago,
when an interesting essay was read by DR.. j.
P. White The essayist took the ground that
the deep and deadly hostility to the use of to-
bacco by certain stony-soulcd phllanthropsts
and reformers of the present day, is partially
croundlcss 1t assumed that the smoking OF
good tobacco in judicious quantities, not only
might be harmless, but might even be actually
beneficial In the course of the discussion that
cnsued on the subject among the members OF
the Academy, the evils Of excessive chewing
were acknowledged by all; but no one attempt
ed to refute the assertion that moderate use
of the weed might be attended by decided
benefit Tobacco is narcotic-the TACT that
those who smoke it derive considerable comfort
from the practice, cannot be denied. 1t is dis
in(ectant, and often aiIectually counteracts the
deleterious influence of contagious disease. IL
is a gentle stimulant, and may preserve the It's
sues from that wear and tear which the fierce
pursuits of men at the present day cause. Let
the arguments against the use of tobacco be d.
rected against its abuse, and they may be more
effectual.-St. Louis News.

THE FIVE PorNTs.-The following paragraph
from the New York Express, gives an idea OF
the fearful accretion of vice and squalor in the
field Of labor occupied by the Five Points Mis-
sion:
'In attending to his duties recently, MIR.
Pease found dying woman in foul apartment
in Cow Bay, occupied also by eight other women
and one man, all drunken and debaSed, and IN
famous in the last extreme. In the upper end
of the same pestilent court or close were found,
in fifteen rooms, twcnty-three families, making
an aggregate of one hundred and seventy-nlne
persons, or twelve to a room! In five of these
fifteen rooms intoxicating liquors were kept Tor
sale Indescrbabe filth, privation, disease and
indecency reisned Throughout them all. Yet
seventeen children from these rooms attend the
schools of the House Of Industry. In eleven
other rooms were eighteen families, and in near
ly half Of these rooms ardent spirits were sold
In one Of the garrets lived two negroes with
eleven abandoned white women. In twelve
other rooms were found twenty-four families,
consisting of one hundred and twenty-four per-
sons. Here were two blind women, two just
past the peril Of childbirth, and seventy-one
were children, only eight uf whom attended any
school,"

!, The sunlight cleaned on his silvery hair,
As the old man sat in his oaken chair
By the cottage door one day,
s And his grey old pipe, as he sat, smoked he,
And looked through curling smoke to see
Some children blithe at play.
:, Their ringing laugh was mournful chime,
{ For it seemed to speak of the olden time,
l.. Now dim and far away;
I And he thought of the joyous hours and Tree
That dawned on his sunny home, when he
- Was q little boy at play.
! And he roamed DER the grassy hills again,
/. In the pensive vale, on the blooming plain,
- And through the woodland gray;
And to memorys tones then murmured he,
eye golden scenes come back to me,
And chase this dream away"
And the feccy smoke in graceful wreathes,
AS it rose aloft, by pc ceful breeze
Was softly borne away;
And he gazed as it waved by the old elm tree
7" Alas, on the wings Of time," sighed lie,
? aThus fed my youthful day.
) e Laugh on, We young, ere the dew of youth
With its tender hopes aud earnest truth
Is slipped by strife's fierce ray;
For soon shall the waves of reality's sea
EHace these traces of innocent glec,
And dash thy hopes away.
: Like fragrance brought on the gale from afar,
Is the memory of early days; but ah,
How dim liie's morning ray
:, Compared with the glory that soon shall be
When youth is renewed, aud the soul may see
The light of heavens monday.
The sunlight cleaned on his silvery hair,
As the old man sat in his oakcn chair
By tue cottage door one day;
But only awhile did the sunbeams smile,
: For they went to rest in the golden west;
And thus he passed away

RICHES NOT HAppENEss.-Th late Mr.. Girard,
Of Philadelphia, when surrounded BY immense
wealth, and supposed to be taking supreme de-
light in its accumulation, wrote thus to friend:
GAS to myself, live like a galley slave, con-
stantly occupied, and often passing the night
without sleeping. I am wrapped in labyrinth
of affairs, and worn out with care do not
value fortune. The love Of labor is my highest
emotion. When rise in the morning, my only
effort is to labor so hard during the day, that
when the night comes, may be enabled to
sleep soundly.o

We are sorry that we cannot give our readers
more information concerning them 5. they are;
often troubled by questions of prying curiosity,
and we, out of respect for their feelings did not
question them, hence we may be incorrect in res

born in Siam in 1911, and came to this country;
in their 18th year. For many years they iexhib.s

FIRE Crackers RENDERED UsEFuL.-These
Chinese explosives for which no useful service
greater than producing noise on the 4th Of July
has heretofore been discovered, have at last been
applied to practical account. In some OF the
New England States caterpillars are destroyed
with them. The way is to place one on the
end of a split pole, thrust it into the nest and
knock them all to flinders. 1t will take some
times two or three crackers to destroy large
nest though for small collections single ex-
ploson is sufficient. The boys don't consider
this work, but go.at it with gusto.
Capital idea; set the young ones after the
caterpillars.

WATER PRooF GLuE-A perfectly water
proof and exceedingly adhesive glue may be
obtained by immersing common glue in cold
water until it becomes perfectly soft, but yet
retaining its original form; after which, it is to
be dissolved in common raw linseed oil, assisted
by gentle heat, until it becomes entirely taken
up by the latter, after which it may be applied
to substances for adhesion to each other, in the
way common glue is applied. 1t dries immedi-
ately, and water will exert no action upon it.
1t is unnecessary to sayfor how many valuable
purposes in the arts this application may be
used. For cabinet makers it is important, as
mahogany vcencrs, when glued by the substance,
will never fall off by exposure to the atmos-
phere. In ship building it will probably answer
a valuable purpose as it isnfnitely more tena-
cious than common glue, and becomes imperTi-

A Big Story and a Big Man.

A correspondent of d Carlo QII.) paper
gets off the following genuine specimen
of big talking. 1t beats Davy Crocket:
John Waterbury, breaksman on Tom
Fay's train, is an original genius and re-
markabe man, his weight is two hundred
and eighty, raw boned, with dangerous
spread in the stihe, broad shouIdered,
strong jawed, with fist that has half
horse power. When they whistle down
breaks, he brings up the train so sudden
tina, il often breaks. the coupling chains.
When he eats, il takes enough for six
men, and he drinks whiskey out Of a
quart cup, then knocks the landlord
through board fence or inside of house,
if he wants any pay. He is under five
hundred dollar bond not to strike a man
at Sandoval for fear Of iniuring the build
ings, they being slightly built. His hair
is as coarse as hay, and stands up like the
quilts OF "iretful porcupine." 1t takes
TWO table cloths to wipe his nose, and he
generally feeds himself with scoop
shovel and dung fork, When he exells
himsefin trip, he usually accumula,es
fourteen pounds and six ounces Of dirt
and lamp oil; and Is not allowed TO wash
himself in any stream smaller than the
Wabash, for fear Of cholera.
Once when old Jenk's "cused' him he
turned in and whipped nineteen Irlshmen
olt of revenge. Tic has to ride with his
back 10 the car and let his toes stick out
over the platform, it being too narrow for
the length of his feet. His great toe looks
like sea turtles head, and his nose like
young robin held by the head with the
big end down, brilliant and piued like
ripe strawberry; his eyes have twinkle
of good humor and a facination for the
fair The skin of his face lags in folds,
like the skin of rhino"eros; his teeth
look like cogs in mill wheel; he has to
have his hat made TO order, and when he
ooses il, he wears water bucket with
the bail under his chin. He will travel
this summer, but can be seen for a few
days al Sandoval, free of charge. He
ti.inks he dead heads" his living but the
company secretly pays Mr.. Merritt dol
lar meal
