Tobacco.

The Dean of Carlisle recently delivered
lecture in England upon the subject Of
tobacco which reveals some facts that may
prove startling even TO those who love it
best.
In 1856 the quantity of tobacco consum-
ed in England, amounted to Muty.three
millions OF pounds, at cost of 5000 900
sterling, or nearly $4OO0o,O0o, besides
the vast quantity that was smuggled into
the country. There is steady increase
far outslripping the proportional increase
Of population. In 1921, the average con.
sumption per head per annum. was IL 20
OF. In 1851 it had risen to 16 SO, and in
1853 to IS OF, or ct the rate of one fourth
increase in ten years. There are II city
brokers in London whose business is ex-
clusively the sale of tobacco, 80 manufac
turers, with 1880 workmen engaged in the
different branches of the business. In the
whole United Kingdom there are no less
than 252 ,O6S tobacco shops.
In other portions Of Europe the increas-
ing consumption lar exceeds that Of England.
In France it is enormous, and all this under
a heavy gov ornamental. duty, which in some
OF the Kingdoms. we believe, is equal to
one thousand per cent. on the American
cost. The Emperor of France realizes,
under tho government monopoly, 100000
franks annually. In the city of Hamburg
10000 cigars are daily consumed, while
the entire population of the city hardly ex.
ceeds $50, 0O0 In that city $50 900 600
OF cigars are annually manufactured: EN-
ploying 10 600 person.. many OF them wo-
men and children. Tie entire business
requires capital of f4OOO,0O0. In Den
mark the consumption Of tobacco Is equal to
70 ounces for each inhabitaht annually. In
Belgium it is nearly 81 pounds per head
while in America, where there is no gov
eminent tax and the article can be bought
for the mere price of production and manu-.
facuture, the consumption is greater than
in any of the European countries, and it is
rapidly on the increase.
1t is calculated that in the various forms
OF smoking, chewing, and shutting, 2,0OO,-
600 tons Of tobacco are made use Of annu-
ally by the human family, equal 10 4,4S0,-
600, 600 pounds, or as much in weight as
all the grain consumed by 100000 Of
Englishmen, and equal in value 10 all bread
material consumed IN Great Britain. Five
millions and half of acres are occupied in
lis growth, the product Of which at bu, the
moderate sum Of two pence per pound,
would amount 10 the vast sum OF $37 ,GOo,-
600 sterling, or nearly $lS5, 100000
In these very countries where such an
incredible amount of money is expended for
what is worse than useless, there are mill
ions Of the human family suffering for a
supply Of food TO meet the daily demands
of nature.

PoR1RAIr PAINTIsG.-Mr. KELSEY, ar
artist Of no mean reputation, has opened
rooms opposite the Post Office, and is pre-
pared 10 paint portraits Of all who may
need his services. Mr.. K. is well known
to some of our citizens, personally, and his
work speaks for itself. He spent some
time in Boonville and Lexington. and paint
ed portraits for a number of the citizens Of
those places. He would be pleased TO see
our citizens at his rooms, where vii! be
found specimens Of his work. We are no
judge of painting, but think Mr.. K. is Pc
culiarly happy In faithfully delineating the
features Of his subjects. A faithful like
ness is the'greas desideratum in getting a
portrait. and all who employ him may rely
on this, while we have no reason TO doubt
that his work is equally as perfect in other
respects.

In beautiful log cabin in the mountains
Of old Virginia our tale opens. AROUND,
natnre's loyeliness was sublime. The lofty
