"YoU FIGHrs NIT SIaEL, YOU DRINKS
NIT MA solder, with his arm in a
sling, yesterday morning went into Ber-
.gher's beer saloon, under the Postofiice.
TO refresh himself with lager beer. The
sight of hie wounded limb very naturally
interested the crowd that was present.
A conversation ensued, in which the
wounded man, in response to inquiries,
modestly stated that he had fought un-
der Sigel in, Missouri, At the name Of
Sigel, a little German in a corner Of the
room, rose 10 his feet H. ran up to the
wounded man just as he raised his lager
/ to his lips. "You fight NIT Sigel," " said
| he, "You drinks nit me-" The wounded
soldier was slightly taken back at the
abruptness Of this remark, when the Teu-
ton embraced him, actually kissed his
cheek as a man would kiss the cheek Of
a girl. "Meiu Cot" said he, "no man
what fights nit sigel pays for beer when
l isb by-no, SIR" The result further
was that after the soldier had slackened
his thirst,the German went ont with him,
prolferiug to him anything he might de
sire. The affection felt for Sigel by the
German population of this rity is great
We see it illustrated nearly every day.

it's injurious properties as there is Of drug which
is beneficial in small doses and poisonous in large
ones. Smoking in excess, so far from substituting
intoxicating liquors, requires them to restore the
body from the exhaustion it causes. Between the
two we get trembling nerves, dulied brains, weak
ened memories. stomachs without appetite or pow
er of digestion, and general Generalization. The
pipe and the bottle are boon companions from the
moment the limit of moderation is passed. But
for very young men this limit should be defined by
actual prohibition. They are of an age when
fashion is most powerful. They have no cares to
solace. severe labor Of mind OF body which needs
artificial means to soothe it. They smoke because
others do so and very often they purchase the small
glory Of premature mannishness with stunted
frames and feeble intellects. We say ali this be-
cause it is not improbable that the attention which
has been drawn to the Woolwieh inquiry may have
the effect of giving public sanction to the practice
of smoking in young men. We should deeply de-
plore such a result. OF smoking in general, we
fear the verdict must be that, while in moderation
it is harmless, and possibly benefcial-clearly SO
if it has had any share in inducing habits of tenn
perance amongst the different classes of society
those who can do without it, and without substi-
tutng it with intoxicating liquors, are wise to alb
stain from 1t. If on men of feeble health and ner-
vous organization it's effects are unquestonably
prejudcial to body and mind. it is only a vigo-
rous and matured frame, in young men or old, that
it's effects be innocuOus, and, in moderation,
sometimes beneficial.

They will pierce you between the joint. OF

that one must needs be very wicked to have

has not at least one enemy. 1t is no credit

it is far from being complimentary to man.
