Is TOBACCO UNwHOLEsoME beyond doubt it
is, when used exeessively-when smoked and chew
ed in such prodigiously unchristian quantities as
are used by some men who would appear to think
that the whole business of 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
oject that in his way. But is it injurious 10
health when used moderately that is the ques-
tiOn
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 of tobacco by certain
stony souled philanthropists and reformers of the
present day, is partially groundess. 1t assumed
that the smoking of good tobacco in judcious guam
titles, not only might be harmless, but might even
be actually beneficial. In the ofthe discus
sion that ensued on the subject among the members
of the Academy, the evils of excessive chewing
were acknowledged by all but no one attempted
to refue the assertion that moderate use Of the
weed might be attended by decided benefit. To-
bacco is narcOic-the fact that those who smoke it
derive considerable comfort from the practice can
not be denied. 1t is a disinfectant, and often effec
tually counteracts the deleterious influence of con-
tagious disease 1t is a gentle stimulant, and may
preserve the tissues from that and tear which
the fierce pursuits of men at the present day
Let the argument against the of tobacco be di-
rected against its abuse, and they may be more eff

GOODWOOD cup RACE.

The accounts of the GoOdwood race are very mea-
gre and unsatisfactory, and no mention is made OF
the time The French horse Monarque, of the same
age, and carrying the same weight as Pryor, came
in first, Riseberg second, Fisherman third Anton
fourth, Pryor and Prioress fifth and sixth. hon-
argue won by head 1t is not stated how far Pryor
or Prioress were behind; they are simply placed
fifth and sixth on the list; but from the fact that
the horse placed third was three lengths behind the
horse placed second, and the horse placed fourth
was an equal distance behind the one placed third,
we infer that the American horses were badly
beaten The English papers remark, but without as
signing any reason that the American horses would
have figured more prominently had they been rid
den by English jOckies. The result has disappointed
many on this side of the water. As there has been
a great deal of interest manifested every where
iuthe United States for the success of the American
horses, we shall publish some details of the race as
soon as they reach us. 1t looks if We have been
disgracefully beaten,

TEA TAsTIEG.-A New York correspondent gives
the following particulars of the effects of a. tea
tasting and sampling upon the constitution of those
engaged in the business:
"The death of a famous tea broker in this city
ness. wonder if any of your readers at the West
knows that their fastidiousness in the choice of the
herb which cheers, but not inebriaes is the cause
of the establishment of professionalism " tea
tasting (which is certain death TO a as the
continued practice of opium eating The success
of the tea broker taster depends upon the train
ed accuracy of his nose and palate, his experience
in the wants of the American market, and keen
business tact. If he has these qualities in hi cu
tivation, he may make from $780, 900 to $4,000 per
annum while he lives, and die of liberation of the
lungs. He oyerhauls a cargo of tea, Classics it,
and determines the value of each sort In doing
this he first looks at the color of the leaf and the
general cleanliness of it. He next takes quantity
of the herb in his hand and breathing his warm
breath it, he snuffs up the fragrance. In doing
this he draws into his lungs quantity of irritating
and stimulating dust, which is by no means whole
Then sitting down at a table in his Office, on
which is a long row of little porcelain cups and a
pot of hot water he draws the tea and tastes the
infusion In this way he Classics the different sorts
to the minutest shade, marks the different prices,
and is then ready to compare his work with the in
voice. The skill of these tasters is fairly marvellous
but the effect of the business on their health is,
have said, ruinous. They grow lean, nervous and
consumptive. At the end of hard days work
they feel and act fdgetty and cross a hysteri
cal old maid"
