SOMETHING WE CANT UNDERsTAND.-We
notice occasionally gentleman and lady
walking arm-in-arm along the sidewalk. or
riding tete-a-tcte in a carriage through the
streets, all of which seems to be very natural
and proper. But the phenomena which we
cannot comprehend, are these The gentle
man carries piece of burning tobacco in his
mouth, and talhs throuoh the smoke thereof
while the lady has nothing at all in her
.Iuutn except a set of nice, clean tcctn anu
pretty little tongue
What is the rationale? If the cigar is
good for the one, why not for the other, If
smoking in a close conversation is an elegant
accomplishment, why should not ladies be
as accomplished as gentlemen?
Our eyes have never yet witnessed the
spectacle of both parties smoking at the same
time. But why should not this be the fash
ion? We predict that it will; it must even
tually become the fashion. unless the gentle
men abandon the habit. How beautiful
Only to think of a young man calling on his
sweetheart, and both sitting down to Il socia-
Bile smoke, Imagine that. in the delirous
ecstasy of love and tobacco, the adorng lover,
firmly grasping the fragrant Havana in one
corner of his mouth, opens the other corner,
and ''pops the question: and then the
fascinated damsel, removing her Segarette
from her mouth moment, brushes off the
ashes at the burning end, walks to the spit
box and back few times in deep and anxious
meditation, hawks and spits few times, and
then answers him, yes

Then why should any decent young lady ally

TIE MINoT's LEDGE LIGHTuousE.-A cor
respondent of the Savannah Republican gives
the following account of the progress of the
construction OF the Lighthouse on Minot's
Ledge, near Cohasset:
The ediice is of Quincy granite, and they
build it first on shore, setting up and fitting
its various courses, and then are to carry it
off in vessels and fix it upon the rock, 1t is
circular in form, and while each stone Of the
course is dove tailed or keyed into another,
each course is to be secured to one below it
by immense iron rods each running through
several courses. There are upwards of ten
courses completed, making about fifty feet
of the structure; yet the first and second, or
foundation, are hardly completely laid on the
rock. There is a Jagged peak OF irregular
form which has to be levelled of, for each
stone, while on the lower course, or founda-
ton, must be uneven or irregular in the
thickness, SO that the upper surface may be
even for the following courses; and as the
ledge is in the open bay, and under water at
high tide, it is a difficult work. very lit.
tie wind causes the waves to break furiously
all over. it and stops the work, even at low
tide, when it is bare. You can judge of its
position, when you can remember that in the
gale which carried away the previous struc-
ture which was of iron, the waves washed
away part which was over thirty feet above
the surface of the water, And again, when
was there, the stone lighter had been lying
| at the wharf three weeks, with a cargo of
half dozen blocks of granite on board
waiting for suitable time to go off to lay
them. They can only work three hours
when tide and time suit, and for this they
sometimes wait several weeks.
They have been at work now about three
years The season of 1857 was good one
and in the whole year they worked on The
ledge $50 hours. In July of that year they
+ worked Sc hours, while in the whole year o.
1896 they could work there but 90 hours il
all In the three months ending the first o
June. they made but ten hours. When th
foundation is laid they can go on more rapid
ly, as they can work after the tide rises,
the sea is smooth 1t is great piece of work
and a very expensive one. Everything whicl
skill, care and money can do, is applied t
make substantial and suitable structure
one that will resist all the force of the ocean
which on Minot's Ledge exerts its wildes
fury, and is of incredible power.

From the Montpelier Watchman,
NO NEEDOFA NEW ORGANIZATION.

But as to the talk of a new organization,
to displace the Republican party. There is
u little of such talk, outside the sham-demo
cratic editors-the navy agents, postmasters
and printers by federal authority. 1t comes
mainly and very naturally, too-from editors
who were Fillmore men in 1856, and from
Wings and ultra anti-savery men as well,
publican party in 1886. I've say it is per-
iectly natural for such to desire some new
arrangements for they are out Of position
The very necessities of the times and temper
of the people-the wrong upon wrong, out
rage upon outrage, blunder upon blunder, of
the ruling party-have thrown the lead and
the labor in the work of opposition and re-
form, upon the largest party in the opposl-
ton, and that is the Republican party. Eve
ry body expected the Republicans to throw
themselves hand and heart into the work
and they hare done it. Not man-high or
humble, in Office or out of it-has hesitated
for moment nor have they hesitated for
moment to receive gratefully the aid OF those
who were not of them, or to award generous
ly the honor that such deserve. Thus the
Republican party has itself deserved and won
the sympathy Of thousands who were led
against them in 1856, by those very gentlemen
who are now SO very anxious for neio party.
| We think we can understand these gentlemen;
they have none to folo~ them just now their
vocation is gone-ther position is lost,-and
they intensely desire a new party, which will
count them in 1t is all very natural ; these
gentlemen dislike the name of Republican,
because they have been at war with Republi-
cans. To be sure they see their error, and
they would be glad to get rid of it-bu ruth
out repentance and conversion. They would
get into the Republican fold-but any way
rather than through the front door. They
must climb up and in, some other way-and
this " new organization " is their chosen lad
der. Now we are happy to say that in this
emergency the Republicans universally seem
to be pursuing wise course. Adhering
firmly to their own organization and princi,'
Piles. they yet say, in the very spirit in which
their organization was originally made, that
thew will cheerfully receive all to their ranks
irrespective of former party distinctions, who
will 20 with them in the work to which they
