The Effects of Tohacen.


 Sir BENJAMIN ERODE, an eminent Lon don physician, was applied to recently to unite Tn a petition to have a parliamentary committee raised to inquire into the effects ot tobacco upon the system. He declined, because he did not consider such com mittee competent to investigate such sub- ject; but he has written letter upon the subject to the London Times, in the course of which he says:
 ''The effects of this habit are indeed various the difference depending difference of constiti- ton and the difference in the mode of life otherwise But, from the few observations which have been able to make on the bject, am led to believe that there are few who do not suffer harm from it. to greater or less extent. The earliest symptoms are manifested in the derangement of the nervous system large proportion of habitual smokers are rendered lazy and stless, indsposed to bodily and incapable of much mental exertion Others suffer from depression of the spirits, amounting to hypochondriasis, which smoking relieves for time, though 1t aggrayates the evil afterwards Occa- sionally there is a general nervous excitabilty, which, though very much less in degree, partakes of the nature of the delrium tremens of drunkaris have known many individuals to suffer from se- were nervous pains, sometimes in one, sometimes in another part of the body.'
 The doctor afterwards adds, in reference to the habit of smoking as it prevails at the present time: f~..a,
 But still graver question remains to be con- sidered. What.wili be the result if this habit be continued by future generations? It sbut too true that the sins of the fathers visited upon their children and their chiidren's children. We may here take warning from the Indians of America. An intelligent American physician gives the fol- lowing explanation of the gradual extinction of this remarkable people: One generation of them be- came addicted to the use of frewater. They have . degenerate and comparatively imbecile progeny, who indulge in the same vicious habit with their parents Their progeny is still more degenerate and after very few generations the race ceases history of another nation, who some few centuries ago, while the banners of Soloman the magnificent were the terrors of ChIistendom, but who since then, having become more addicted to tobacco smoking than any of the European nations. are now the lazy and lethafgic Turks held in contempt by all civilized communities"

Ing passion, or the saints wrapt devotion. Those polished spheres of ivory are Ber- gers divinities, and they shape his end, as the poets insensate forms of loveliness and the priests heavenly visions fill their life with melody and with rapture.
 The great players of this country have now tested their skill with NJ. Berger. The tournament has been attended late eacheyen- ing by crowded company of spectators, and has probably possessed all the chivalric interest of ancient tilts. Besides the re- doubtable Knight Phelan himself Sir Chris Bird of Philadelphia, and Sir Dud- ley Cavanaugh of this city, both champions of no small renown, have entered the lists. Phelan Is vanquished, and lies with broken cue at the feet of the Frenchman. Bird and Cavanaugh are also at his mercy. All confess that so true and sure knight they never met before. They humbly acknowl- edge that it beats all They piously eiacu- late that there's no use talking. Phelan now plays at the game to oblige the au- dIence-a sort of background to Berger,s pictures. Bird pecked away at Monsieur, Thursday night. Monsieur, in three-baIl French 5caroms, made run of. .Jfrtfy yoiuts---a feat wholly unprecedented in this coun- try. Bird is believed to have been unset- tied in his mind. Poor fellow! his imagi nation never scared above 10 at run in French three-ball caroms f'i44 .l.s

 But how extraordinary, how dazzling are hls combinations, convolutions, and eli maxes! How strange the skill which so controls the three small balls that arrange themselves for fifty consecutive caroms and the genius which masters their rowing pro. pensities and binds them together by sub tie bond of sympathy Where Berger was thought to be weakest--in the cold and un- romantic discipline of the balls---le has, within theSpast few days, proved himself giant. His game-on his own tabIe-seems lmpregnable at every point. From the dalliance of the fancy shots he descends with one stroke to the most intensely prac- tical caroms and repeats them with such tar-reaching certainty, that one regards him with superstition. Earlier in our history. in the cheerful period of c. Mathcr, Berger would have been burned.-N Y. Tri5une.

 THE oNrY MAN THAT GAN DEFEAT BLACK REpuBL1oAN,sM.-For two years it has been asserted by the Douglas democrats that the " Little Giant" was the only man that could defeat black republicanism. Al large number of the purest and best democrsts of the nation have favored the aspirations of Douglas, because they sincerely and honestly believed that he was omnipotent q the North. His disciples have assuIed tAe public that the abolition phalanx would bo compelled to bend to his popularity Bus the recent elections show that instead of being the strongest man--the only man to beat the black republieans--that hels the only. man that they can beat, and that he is the weakest man in the Union. Douglas can Du t1 cizc5 s5 tiithrr.ile,l fAeN Nnsth by the results of the elections as the storm can be trailed by it's desolation. He made speeches in Maine, and Maine gave an in- creased abolition vote. He made speeches in Vermont, and Vermont gave an increased abolition vote. He spoke in Ohio, and the result was the same. He canyassed Indiana, and through his popularity and overwhelming cloquence. for the first time, { Indiana gave republican victory These facts show the utter emptiness of Douglas boasting. They have annihalited bis yaunted availability. They have made manifest what We have loug asserted-thst he cannot get the vote of a single State in the Union.-Nempkis Aealqncle.
