TOBACCO IN THE WEsT.-The Louisville Courier of
the 9th says: The summary of the sales of tobac-
co Tor the week past, duly recorded in our week
ly commercial report. fully sustans the oft repeat.
ed statement, that Louisville is the best tobacco
market in the Southwest. The receipts durino the
present month have already exceed 500 hogsbeads
OF leaf tobacco chiefly the product of TIE States of
kentucky and Tennessee, and the sales of the past
week, all for cash, have amounted to Sg2 hopsheads
including two lots of choice leaf for which premi-
ums awarded.
Two premium hogsheads sold as high a. $50 ner
hundred, at $40, one at $685. one at S2G. one at
S22, one at S2l, and others at prices varying at
from $40 TO $50 per hundred. The greater ouanti-
ty of the late sales have been made to manufactur
ers, many of them doing business here, and others
coming to Louisville to obtain supplies for their
factories in other cities. No doubt thev find it to
their interest to make purchases here as the guam
tty OF tobacco finding market here will steadily
Increase, and planters will probably exert them
selves to improve the quality and handling of
their crops. We think Louisville will continue
from year to year, to become more attractive to-
baccO market.
The demand for manu- featuring tobacco was not
supplied Tuesday and Wednesday, and manufactu-
rers are still in the market buying at full prices all
that is offered. W. b. Mooker & Co.. of Coving-
ton, purchased yesterday, at the Todd warehouse
a hogshead that had not even been entered for the
premium at S2S per 100 lbs. This is the highest
price ever paid for Kentucky leaf at public sale
1t was raised by w. Brown, of Green county,
At the Ninth street warehouse, manufacturing
hogshead of Missouri manufacturing leaf was
sold to T. p. Nash at $3.50 per 100 lbs. This
hogshead was afterwards sold privately to J. T.
Edmunds

Color Of the Air.

When we look at the sky on a clear
day. it appears like large light blue arch
set over our head. and seen through the
(supposel) invisible substance called air.
But this is not the case /: there is no blue
dome above us, AMI when the SKY is view
ed from any elevated region of the earth.
as the top of high mountain. or in a
balloon, anu where we would expect that
this supposed blue vault would be more
distinct, and manifest its blue tint more
decidedly, it appears not more blue, but
dark or black. In proportion as the
spectator rises above the surface Of the
earth. and has less al ADORE him. and that
very rare, the blue tint gradually disap-
pears and il he could attain height at
which there is no air, the sky wonld be
perfectly black. there wonll be total dark
ness all around, except in the direction
in which the suns rays fall upon him.
This leads to the Inference that tie air
itself Is of Blue color. But how does it
happen that we see this blue color Of the
air only when we look at the sky, or at
a distant mountain of forest F? Why is
not the blue color seen in the air sur
rounding us when we look towards a
house or wall not so far removed, or
even in the air in room, or in the air
contained in what we call an empty glass
vessel ? A very simple experiment will
explain the reason Of this apparent ano-
maly. If we take any large glass vessel,
which contains a liqnid of deep color,
and have several glass tubes of different
diameters. from an inch to a 10th or Goth
of an inch, and ill these tubes with liq-
uil ont of the large vessel, though we
have the same liquid in all, and hence,
in all the matter which causes the color,
it will be seen that the tint will gradually
become more faint in proportion as the
diameter Of the tube is less, until, in the
smallest, the liquid is clear and colorless
like wafer. The intensity of the color is
Just in proportion to the mass at which
the spectator looks. and a very small
quantity of that which. in large quantities,
has a strong color, does not present any
color at all, AMI thus though the great
body of air which is opposed to us, when
we look at clear sky or any distant OBJ
ject, transmits a sufficient quantity of
blue rays to produce an impression of
that color on the eye. the small quantity
in a glass, in a room. or even within the
compass of few miles. cannot convey
enough of blue r,ys to the eye to produce
the color which the air manifests in a
large body.

always feels in a hurry. yet in his busiest
day he will stand and talk till he has

boards are to be seen off his buildings
month after month, without being re-
placed, and his windows are full of rags.

grain. If the lambs die. or the wool
comes of his sheep, he does not think it
for want Of care or food. He is a great
borrower, and seldom returns the thing
borrowed. He is poor husband, poor
father, a poor neighbor, poor citizen,

OxALIc ACID IN CoSsuMPrloN.-Mr. ID.
Cronin, surgeon, of London, who has
obtained a reputation of some eminence,
for his success in the treatment of con-
sumption-a malady hitherto so generally
deemed to be incurable-has addressed
the following letter to cotemp orary.
1t should be recollected that the medicine
which he recommends is a deadly poison,
and ought, therefore, to be taken only
under proper professional advice :-"Sir,
the distress which consumptive patients
and others similarly affected suffer in con-
sequence of fever, more particularly the
intense burning of the palms of the hands
and soles of the feet, has been to me a
source of deep anxiety and regret. Many
professional gentlemen, in making COM
plants of similar nature, have asked
me if l was acquainted with any means
capable of allaying these symptoms. My
attention having been called to the soda
tive effects Of oxalic acid, in small doses,
| was induced to give it a trial, and can
confidently recommend it to the profess
sion. have used this acid now for some
time in numerous cases, aud have, in al
most every instance, after Traction
found it affords the most marked relief.
l am. sir, yours, &c, D. CRoxIS, 6 Cra-
ven street, Strand, July 14th, 1843."
