The Effects Of Tobacco.

Sir Benimmin BrOdio, an eminent London ply
sician was applied TO recently to unite in peti-
ton to have Parliamentary committee raised to
inquire into the effects of tobacco upon the hu-
man system. lie declined because he did not
consider such committee competent to investi-
gate such subject, but he has written a letter
upon the subject to the London Times, in the
course Of which he says
"'Ihe effects of this habit are indeed various; the
difference depending upon the difference ofeonsti-
tution and the difference in the mode of life other
wise But, from the few observations which
have been able to make on the subject, am led
to believe that there are few who do not suffer
harm from it, to a greater or less extent, The
earlst symptoms are manifested in the deRnge-
ment OF the nervous system. A large proportion
OF the habtua smokers are rendered lazy and list
ass, indlsposed to bodily and incapable Of much
lnenta exertiOn. Others suffer from depression
OF the spirits amounting to hypOclondriasis, which
smoking relieves for time, though it aggravatcs
The evil afterwards. Occasionally there isa gen.
eral nervous exciability, which, though very much
less in degree, partakes of the nature of deiiHQm

lie afterwards adds:
"Ihe following observations relate to the habit
)t smoking as it exists among US at the present
time. But still gmver question remains to be
considered. What will be the result il this habit
be continued by future generations! 1t is but too
true that the sins Of the fathers are visited upon
they children and their chlldrens children. We

became addicted to tb1 use OF frewater They
hayo degenerate and comparatively mbocile
progeny, who indulge in the same vicious habit
wl'h their parents. Their progeny is still more
degenerate, and after very few generations the
race ceases altogether We may also take warn.

few centuries ago, while the banners of Soiyman
the Magnificent were The terrors of Christendom,
but who since then having become more addicted
to tobacco smoking than any ofthe European ma
tlons, are now the lazy and lethargic Turks, held
IN contempt by all civilized communities"

THE True system OF ADVERTISING One
.of our exchanges discusses question Of
interest to business men, as to the method
Of advertising The merits Of circulars,
bills, &c, are acknowledged, bat it is held
that the hand bill to be conveyed about
by men, or to be sent into the country, Is
not the best vehicle for advertising for mer-
chants. Let them use the newspapers
The newspaper is circulated without any
expense whatever to the advertiser, which
is by no means an unimportant item, as
every one will testify who has any expert
ence in distributing hisow advertisements.
Not only is the advertisement circulated by
the newspaper free Of oil expense, but i'll
done more speedily aud thoroughly than
can be done by the advertiser The news
paper is already an established system a
thousand doors are open to welcome il 3
thousand messengers are daily and weekly
seeking the post-oflice to receVeit thou
sand families look for its coming, and a
thousand read it when it does come. Again,
those who read the newspapers are the
very persons the advertiser wishes to reach;
they are intelligent and well-iO-do, the eur
terprising citizens Of the country, aud are
therefore, the ostlkely TO buy that which
is worth buying.

BRowN AND VISA good story Is told
of an old democrat in New London, Coma,

draw up bis will, and after arranging the
usual matters in such document, he dicta-
ted as follows: ITO Henry A. Wise, Gov
ernor of Virginia, give and bequeath the
sum Of $1,000, to be paid from my effects
for the Justice, firmncss, and patriotism dis
PLAYED by him in the ha iging Of John
Brown The lawyer (who was a Repub-
lican) dropped his pcn, in astonishment,
and refused to make the record. He was
accordingly dismissed, and, few days after,
another was sent for, who banked at the
same instructions; and, before he could ac-
complish his purpose, his friends convinced
him that he could not, in justice to his fam
ily, make the bequest, and that the admira.
ton he had eviuced for Gov. Wise would
be more gratifying 10 that gentleman than
a gift in money, but it was long time be-
fore his determination was conquered.

CoULD NOT HAVE THE GOSPEL FOR THE
FoxEs.-That was a novel but not SO bad
an argument which the mountain member
urged in the Kentucky Legislature.
A few years ago bill proposing pre-
MUM on fox scalps was under discussion.
1t had been somewhat roughly handled in
debate by members from the more populous
regions, where foxes were scarce, aud Mr..
L., from one Of the mountain counties,
rose to reply. We give only his perora-
tion: And are we, Mr.. Speaker-we Of
the mountain regions-not only to witness
the annual destruction Of our crops, but ac-
tually to be deprived by those varmints Of
the consolation of religion 2" This woke
the House up, and set 1t agap for au expla-
nation. He continued: You know, Mr..
Speaker, that we live in rough country
that your fancy churches-yous Presbyte-
rians and Episcopalians-neyers send preach
among US. We depend for the Gospel up
on circuit riders of the Methodist church ;
and, sir, everybody knows that they cannot
be induced to travel where there are No
chickens, and that chickens cannot be
raised where foxes abound y

ALARMING INDEED-LouIs NAPoLEoN's
HUGE ARMY-A Paris correspondent Of
the Boston Trareiier, tells the following
story of Louis NapoIeons military prepar-
ations:
Louis Napoleon is about organizing an
immense army in addition TO the regular
army. He kpows that before he attains
the objects he proposes, he must confront
all Europe in arms. This new army will
be something between the regular army and
the National Guard. Every year 100000
men will be called out to serve the country
for seven years-that is, there will be en-
listed l,050,000, one half Of which, l. G
500, 900 men will he actually 10 the ranks
of the regular army; the other 550, 900 will
be allowed to remain at home, but will be
liable to be called into active service and
drafted into the regular army whenever il
may please Louis Napoleon. In ordinary
times, these men who will be allowed to re-
main at home, will be assembled once 0
month, and thoroughly drilled by the Off
GERS Of the army. When their seven years
Of service expires, they will be drafted into
the National Guard, where they will serve
until forty-fye years old.
The National Guard is to be reorganized.
No person will be appointed an officer in Il
except halfpay oficersof the regular army,
aud no person will be allowed TO enter the
ranks except discharged soldiers Of the
army, and ull discharged soldiers Of the
army will, upon their discharge, be drafted
into the National Guard, aud be Of service

PROF. WOOD, 312 BROADWAY, is running
the hair dye trade. People will not use dye
when a natural restoration to the original color
Of the hair can be produced by natural rene
dies. Dyes are artificial agents, and dangerous
in their application, but Woods Hair Tonic is a
healthy stimulant, and causes healthy growth.
A growth of gray hair upon young person s
head is unnatural and to apply coloring fluid
produces an unnatural result: the color is chang
ed, to be sure but not through the roots of the
hair, Ladies, do you see that geranium plant in
the window yonder? how yellow and faded it
looks2 1t is alive and growing; yet where is
the beautiful rich, dark green that belongs to it,
Gone. You can color these leavs by an external
application of chemicals, but they will not re-
main colored: Doyou desire to do it naturally?
Make solution of guano water apply it to the
roots, and the plant will take itup into the sys-
tenn, and then you will see a rich green perman-
ent hue. Professor Woods Hair Tonic works on
the same pinciple. The roots of the hair drink
up that application, and high health and beauty
result
