How THEY MAKE CIGARs.-A German import
ing house al New York lately received an invoice
Of real Havana Cigars, which were appraised at
the custom house at three dollars per thousand
The importers thought this too high, and under
their oath the cigars were admitted at one doIIa

said cigars, but that they were wholly composed
Of oak and other leaves, soaked in strong tobacco

Wind Mills for Mining PURPOSES.

A party Of miners and mechanics have
formed a company for the purpose of raising
water for mining purposes by means of wind
mills There are many localities where an
abundance of water can be found at depth
of from Is to 25 feet 1t would not take
many shafts with windmills attached to raise
an ordinary sluce head The mills could be
put up roughly but in a substantial manner
for $50 or $50 each. These mills have prov
ed universally successful for irligating pur-
poses and why may they not be made use
ful for mining purposes' Each mill would
raise from two to four inches of water
There are many localities where a single
sluice head might be thus obtained which
might prove of immense value. The idea
is a novel one, and well worth thought.

the approval of the Academy of Medicine
at Turin, as one of the most active remedies
for consumption. DR.. Parola, the author,

every four or five days Tor forty-eight hours.
When the stomach is too weak, the resinous
extract may be administered in pills instead
of the powder, to the amour; Of forty or fifty
centigrammes, or else portion n a solution
of gum. Quinine, foxglove, and even opium
may sometimes be administered together
with it. BY this treatment DR.. Parola has
cured sixteen cases ont Of thirty-one Of con
