POISONOUS ADULTERArIoN or TOBACCO,

The Philadelphia Enquirer says
Tobacco smokers should carefully examine
the tobacco they use, as several persons 10 the
city are now suffering from affections Of the
throat, mouth and tongue, caused by smok-
ing a deleterious compound which is sold in
the market as pure article of smoking to-
bacco A gentleman whose veracity is uu-
questioned, states that several cases came un-
der his notice lately of persons affected with
cancer Of the mouth and liberation of the
throat from the same cause. 1t appears that
some unprincipled seoundreIs mix large quan-
titles of sumac-whch costs about three
cents pound their tobacco, and sell it
thus adulterated as a genuine article. The
sumac is said to be saturated by chemical
process with tobacco juice, and then mixed 10
large quantities with the tebaccO. When
thus prepared it is almost impossible to de-
tect the deception. 1t is to be hoped ihat
some of these tobacco mixers will be brought
before the criminal court and made an example

CHINESE eRueIFIXTIaN,

4 cruci6xion in China is thus described by
Mr. james Jones of Amony. who witnessed
the execution
1.-The victim was a well known thief, whose
principal ofense was that of stealing young
girls and selling them for prostitutes. Or his
trial before the Judge, he refused to crimiuate
himself, although repeatedly scourged until
his back was raw. IF female witness fails in
giving satisfactory evidence in court Of justice
she is beaten with leather strap across the
mouth. His wife, desirous of sparing her
husband, refused to give evidence, but after
two or three applications of the strap, her
courage gave way. She confessed his guilt,
at the same time admitting that 5000 Of the
money so derived was hidden in the sea neeF
the beach. Officers were sent to search, and
finding the money in the place indicated, the
prisoner was sentenced to decaptivation;
deemed by the Chinese the most severe of pun
ishments, because they imagine if man leaves
this world minus any of his members he APP
pears in the same condition in the next. The
culprit, therefore, prayed to be crueifed in
stead of being beheaded. The cross was in
The latin form, the foot being inserted in
stout plank, the criminal standing on a board,
and nails driven through his feet, his hands
stretched aud nailed to the cross beam. His
legs were fastened to the cross cords, and in
the cord round his waist was inserted piece
of wood on which was written hs name and
offense, similar piece on his right arm con-
tained his sentence, namely to remain on the
cross day and night until he died; another on
his left arm had the name Of the Judge, with
his titles and Offices. The criminal was nailed
to the cross inside the Yauman in the pres
ence of the magistrate, aud then carried by
four coolies 10 one of the principal thorough
fares leading from the city, where be was left
during the day, but removed at night inside
the prison for fear of his friends attempting to
rescue him, and again carried forth at daylight
in charge of two soldiers. He was crucified
at noon on Wednesday, and Mr.. Jones con,
versed with him at FIVE in the evening. He
complained of pain in the chest and thirst
On Thursday he slept for some hours, when
the cross was laid down within the Jail en-
closure No one was allowed to supply him
with food ,or drink, and during the day there
was quite fair in front of the cross, people
being attracted from distance, and the sweet
meat veDders driving a large trade. On Sat
urday he was still alive, When the Taotal was
appealed to By a foreigner to put an end to
tie wretches suGerings, and he Immediately
gave orders that vinegar should be administer
ed. which he expected would produce imme-
diaie death bnt the result was otherwise and
at sunset, when the cross vas AIKEN within
the Jail, two soldiers, with stout bamboos,
broke both bis legs, and then strsngled bin.

MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE UNITED STATES.
The report of the director of the mint, just
published, with other official documents, shows
that tie gold deposits for the year 1863
amounted to $23, 1886, ,989, the silver to $685.
s18-a total of over twenty-five millions OF
bullion. The coinage amounted to $2l649,-
345 in gold, S548, PA in silver aud S463 800
in cents-makiug 10 all nearly forty-seven
millions OF coins of every denomination, being
an increase over any previous year. 1t may
be interesting to those who value statistical
information to know that since the Gounda-
tion of the government the mint has struck
off nearly 100000, O,0OO-and with the prog
ressive development of our mineral resources
in Colorado and ether new territories, and the
constant reworking of mines in the old States
we may look forward to a steady increase in
our bullion supply for many years to come.

SIGNIFICANT SIGN.-COrrespondents who
witnessed the late battles before Nashville, say
that the rebels did not fight with their wonted
spirit They seemed disheartened aud dis.
couraged. They made little resistance behind
their breastwerSs, and seemed to DO little un-
willing to be taken prisoners 10 end their
troubles. On no occasion was heard the old
defiant YELL which they have been accustomed
to howl back at our boys even in retreat
The similarity Of their behaviour then, and at
the battle of Mission Ridge, is calculated to
impress every one who witnessed them.

CANINE VoRAGrY old Esop constructed
a fable in his day concerning the fondness Of
dogs for sheep, aud drew moral therefrom,
but we never knew how far this appetite ran
until we glanced at the assessory returns OF
the State Of Ohio for 1864. FrOm these it
wousd appear that there are little over 1885,
900 dogs in the State, and that this year they
have destroyed and wounded no less than 54,-
$50 sheep, valued at $l46,OOO, The curse OF
their owners ought to be reached in some
way, and their carniverOus propensities con-
troled.

Kind words are the brightest flowers of
earths existence; they make paradise of the
humblest home the world caa at any time
show.
When we are alone, we have thoughts
to watch; in the family our tempels; in com
pany our tongues.
There is a corporeal lightnsss which all men
have experienced, at the moment when first
love has transferred their life to another be-
ing.
Affectation in any part of our carriage, is
lighting up candle to our defects, and never
fails to make us take notice of either as want
ing sense or sincerity.

UNsPOKEN LANGUAGE.

How much expression can be given and ex-
changed by grasp of the hand or a glance of
the eye! The soft pressure of the hand is far
m ore sympathetic than words. An intercourse
with those we regard, bearing silent yet pow
erful evidence of that unspeakable love which
exists in the depths of our nature, is most elo-
quent when the tongue is silent. A warm
pressure of the hand can be understood by all,
young and old; the universal voice Of nature
needs interpreter. The power of love is
too deep and too sacred to be adequately ex-
pressed in words; being, in fact, foreshadow-
ing of that more spiritual communion which
will exist hereafter.
