| MANUFACTURE OF CIGARs-The manufac
ture OF cigars is carried on in this city to an
extent quite surprising to the uninitated
We learn from an extensive manufacturer.
that 10000 are manufactured here every
week, and the business is sstill on the increase.
The tobacco from which they are made is
imported, of course, from Havana some from
Central America, some from Mexico, and
some from the Atlantic States Many of the
cigars made here are Of superior quality to
much of the imported article, and are sold at
cheaper rates. To meet the demand of the
cigar making business, one shop is engaged
almost exclusively in the manufacture of
cigar boXes-the material used being that
composing the larger boxes in which cigars
are imported. The most favorite and readily
sold brands are placed on the boxes, and
when one of them is filled with cigars and
prepared for market, ninety-nine men out of
n hundred would take the article Tor genuine
Havana make The Spanish labels are all
printed here, and are such fac simiieS of the
| Cuban article that the counterfeit cannot be
detected by the most practiced eye. 1t is a
matter of common occurrence for some of
the large dealers in cigars to go to maker
and have made to order large quantity of
such and such brands, and Immediately after
the arrival of a steamer, those cigars are put
upon the market as imported, and meet with
n ready sale. There is no harm done to the
community by these "lttle tricks of trade" I"
for the reason that the home made article is
generally fully equal to that which it pur-
ports to be; but still, we doubt not but there
are many cigar fanciers who imagine they
| indulge in nothing but the genuine Havana
made article, that W uld, if they knew the
true state of the case, turn up their noses at
the weed they now so loudly praise. How
ever, the trick works well for the country,
for no one is injured by smoking the home
made article in preference to the imported,
while the manufacturer of the cigar furnishes
employment for several men, and retains in
our midst much of the money expended for
luXuries which would otherwise be thrown
away on the Cuban Dons.-S. f. Call

The TAPEwoRM tapeworm is ter
rible aud singular animal. He destroys
more lives, and causes more suffering among
men than does the blood.thirsty tiger 1t is
the popularity of the tapeworm, or of some
species of it, that it is bora in ,ne aniIna',
and attains its full development in another.
There is one kind for instance whose eggs are
eaten by the rat, in whose stomach they are
hatched, and thence eat their way through
to the liver. There they live as an exceed
ingly small worm, bearing no apparent re
semblance to the fully developed tareworm,
state which they never reach in rat But
let a cat eat the rat, and the liver worm of
the latter is changed to an in esiinal worm
of the former. 1t seems that the human
tapeworm sometimes has a similar history.
A book called "The Human Cestiodes' has
lately been published in Cambridge Mass,
by Dr. Weinland, in which he shows that
the human tapeworm is usually a develop
ment of the flesh worm in pork, and this
flesh worm is said to be the cause of the hog
measles, each pustule containing little
worm. If DIR. Meinland's statements be cor
rect, and his book is spoken OF with much
praise by those who have seen it, there ought
to be, if not a depreciation in the price of
pork, at least care to see that it is well
cooked before being eaten.-S. +. Alta.

IsTHMUs OF TEHUANTEPEC. Within n few
weeks, quite number of restless Californi-
ans, foreseeing at the Pacific terminus, the
embryo of a future city, have gone thither to
take up lands and become pioneers. A town
has been laid out at L Ventoza DO the Mex
lean government, named after the late Presi-
dent Comonfort, and good mule path con-
meets the place with the city Of Tehuantepec,
six or eight leagues in the interior, 1t is
proposed TO bridge seyeral streams which in
tersect the route connecting the Pacific with
the town of Minatitlan at the head of navi-
cation on the CoatzacoalcOs and to have a
line of Concord coaches, for passeng' RS, trav-
cling during the present season, We shall
see how far the fattering proposals will be
carried out. Meantime we would advise
Caifornians TO reflect upon the Fraser river
delusions, and think twice before they get as
crazy for a southern movement as they were
lately for rush to the north. The climate
of the tropical coast lands can never be con
sidered as adapted to our people, who be-
come pale and inert, after short residence
there. and soon lose their natural vigor.
While the importance of communication
with the Atlantic States via Tehuantepec
cannot be over estimated, it is certain that at
either terminus no larger towns will spring
up than are needed for the purpose of travel,
and to engage in the local traffic resulting
from it S f. Times.

RELAXATION Every class of men, justly

Divert himself, takes walk--a mode of en-
iovment quite alien to the notions of an un-

sists principally in the excitement which the

verting his children and himself 10y riding on

our poets do not carry their poetry into life,
and why such discrepancy exists between
their biography and their verses. Literary

nothing intellectual about them. Their OBJ

TIE CONTEST IN ILLNoIs.-The canvass
now going on in Illinois, says the Rochester
Union, is probably the most exciting and
earnest that ever preceded a State election in
this Union. A correspondent of the New
Y York Express was present at the first en-
counter of Douglas and Lincoln, at Ottowa,
and writes in a spirit of fairness. lie says
there were 10000 people present. He has
canvassed the State sufficiently to convince
himself that Lincoln cannot be chosen to the
IT, S. Seaate.
"The Senate consists of 25 members, and
the House of 50. OF the Senate, l3 mem
bers hold over, and 2 remain to be elected
In order to give the Republicans majority
of the Senate, they must elect 8 of the l.
chosen, as large majority of the Senators
holding over are Douglas men. The elec
tson of of the II, as Republicans, is ute
ly impossible; indeed, it is conceded that
Judge Douglas will have the Senate certain
ly, and may have the lower House. know
that he, to day, has expressed himself san

RIVER MINING.-The claim of Armstrong
Fowler, Morrow & Co., Just above town, was
after being worked about two weeks by then
sold to a company of Chinese. Armstrong
IL Co. made big wages while working the
claim, and sold to the Ceestials at good
round price-and they in turn made money
in working out the ground.
The claim of Messrs Selden, Baker & Co.

paying more than good wages for about two
months, and present prospects are that the
company Should rain hold Off will, for six
weeks to come, get first rate pay.

SOMETHING or THE MILK QUEsTIoN.-It is
limited, by certain persons who should know,
that the fifty thousand human beings who
constitute the milk consumers of this county
would do themselves no harm by instituting
an enquiry into the modus Operandi by which
some of the dealers produce the lacteal fluid.
With the limited amount of information now
at hand, we would not venture to assert that
anything like the odiOus practices of the New
Y York swill milk trade are in vogue here
Milk ought to be cheap and pure in pasto-
raj country such as California, where the &C.
tual facilities for producing it should place
all artificial means out of the question. Still,

To THE PUGLIC.-Two anonymous publiea-
tions have recently appeared in the columns
OF the National, respecting a misunderstand-
ing which has arisen between the Hon. Jos
G. McKibben and Geo. Pen Johnston, Esq
1t is obviously improper that an aifair of the
kind should be obtruded on the public atten-
tion, but as the publications in question are
marked by undue personalities with an evil
dent political intent, and rs they contain sew
elal fragrant errors which are calculated to
prejudice the reputation of an absent parry,
we consider it TO to be our duty to offer a
brief and temperate reply.
1t is true that Mr. McKibben and the un-
dersgned. on the day named in the National,
proceeded to the county of Marin, with the
view of holding communication with Mr..
Johnston but Mr.. McKibben we give his
own langnage Had no idea of Prreudicin1g
Mr. Johnston in his present position, only
sought, in the course he pursued, to relieve
himself of misrepresentation. Being COM
PEELED to leave the State on the steamer of
the Goth inst, he was unwilling that Mr.
Johnston's action should remain altogether
unnoticed.'
But, it is not true that the friends of Mr.
McKibben eXpresseda great Gnriety 20 obtain
the identical pair of pistols used in the un-
fortunate affair between Messrs Johnston
and Ferguson"
1t is not true that Mr.. McKibLen and his
friends knew that Mr.. Johnston was in custo.
dy when they left this city.
And it is not true that any person was re-
quested to convey "a peremptory chal'enge'
to Mr.. Johnson.
Knowing that "the public always remem-
ber the charge anu seldom the reply" we
must, nevertheless, say that only one letter
was addressed to Mr. Johnston, and that was
simply communication of inquiry, couched
in the most unexcep. p.ionable language. In
it nothing was said about a challenge, and
Mr.. Johnston's friend was so informed and
assured.
Surprise is expressed in the National that
so long time should have elapsed before Mr.
McKibben held communication with Mr.
Johnston. In reply, we do not consider it
necessary to say more than that Mr. McKib-
ben's pledged political engagements, and Mr..
JOhnston's own absence, rendered such com
munication prior % the day in question en-
TREY impracticable. WIN. A. ADDISON,

in the boots, and few other fragments be-
ing all that was left to tell the sad story OF
death. Coroner Bailey went up the creek
on Thursday to hold an inquest, but Mr. Bell
was unable in the short time allowed for
search to find the spot on that day.
