Ess.-The Philadeiphia North American says !.
As you smoke tobacco il distils an essential
oii--acTId and Offensive to degree. Upon the
inside OF porcelain or common clay pipe, the
oil crysfalizes and the pipe soon becomes pun
gent The meerschaum, on the contrary, is
highly porous and absorbs the oil of tobacco,
though IN manner that we cannot ex xpiain---
The new pipe Mt first becomes straw coiored on
the outside, shade which deepeas until II be-
comes as black as ebony. The more oil OF to-
taceo II absorbs, and consequently the black
er 1t becomes, the more exquisiteiy does the
tobacco taste. After the pipe is once saturat-
ed with the oil, it absorbs no more. and the
pipe is always .sweet," and never acquires
the rank and offensive odor peculiar to other
pipes.
This is the sole merit of the meersehaum-
that 1t is perfectly neat and nearly inodorous.
W hat we cannot account for is this Though
the pipe is perfectly white when new and
must, Of course, be first colored on the inside,
yet, though it becomes colored externally till
of letty blackness, you will find, on breaking
it, that the inside of the pipe is perfectly white.
Another peculiarity of the meerschaum is
that. when heated, you may perforate it with
pin and that. when cold, the mark made by
| the pin is no longer visible.
As some of our readers may be interested
in meerscLaum smoking, a few directions as
to the mode of colering the pipes may not
come amiss. Imprimis, then, it q smoker
pulls away at his newly purchased twenty
dollar meerschaum, as he would at common
inside of the bowl, and thus prevent il from
eoloring ever afterwards. In this case the
stem. If it be also meerschaum. will become
black as Jet, while the bowl will be dirty
yellow
1t must at first be smoked carefully and
slowly, not being permitted to become too bot
to be held in the hand while the exuiting pos
SCISSOR of the article will remember that when
heated, the least touch will scratch its surface
The best plan is TO take it to q glover's and
have piece of buekskin sewed closely around
the bowl until the coloring process is accom-
plished.
With these precautions the genuine meer-
schaum rs coiored in about years time to the
desired blackness. The process, however
may be facilitated-and this we give rs piece
OF our own private Internationally saturating
piece OF sponge in perfumed sweet oil, insert
ing 1t IN The bottom of the bowl of the piEe Jus
reachlng above the BORE and placing a button
mould over it to separate the tobacco and pro-
tect the sponge from burning. The oil assists
the process of absorption and carries with it
the Oil OF tobacco through the pores. If otto of
roses be used with the sweet oil, it will i'm
| pregnate the pipe with an enduring perfume
| that will render itespecially delightful to the
| smoker, however abhorrent it may be to those

The GREY EYED MAN OF DESTINY"
General VIM Walker, with his filibuster-
ing band of three hundred men, has turned
up again in Mexico. From the unsettled
state Of affairs there, it is not improbable
that he will turn something to account, and
as we are slightly inclined to the belief in
manifest destiny" we see no reason why
he shouldn't. 1t would certainly be better
for the poor, i'll governed. half starved and
half clad Mexicans, to dwell under our equi-
table laws, partake Of the blessings we as a
people enjoy, and best Of all, be permitted
to wear the elegant and serviceable hats
and caps soly at Farrands 27 West Second
Street.
