HUsBAND.-This word is Anglo Saxon,
ard signifies the bond of the house," or
" family house-bond," as by him the family
is formed, united, and bound together, and
ON his death is disunited and scattered
Hence we account for farmers and petty
landholders being called, so early as The
twelfth century, g husbandi," as appears in
in a statute of David H., King of Scotland.
This etymology of the word appears plain
er in the orthography of the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, in which the word is
often found written, house-bond."

MAxMs.-Never speak badly Of others.
even with cause remember We all have
our faults, and if We expect charity from
the world, we must be charitable ourselves.
Think that word once spoken can
never be recalled; therefore it is prudent
to think twice before we speak.
Broken resolutions are worse than nono
at all; it only proves to us we do not carry
out the dictates of our conscience, and ex-
poses our weakness.
. Avoid argument with a person il be is
directly opposite to you if he has mind
of his own he cannot be convinced and
if he has no mind he is poor convert; it
is not only loss of tine, but often Of
friendship.

warmest friends prove to be those you

more exciting, and the General stood con-
founded, not knowing how to exirica,e
himself. A large number of police rushed
to the spot, and the fact that the excite

Grant, was soon communicated to Chief
Ruggles. who soon had a posse on hand.

Chemistry of Tobacco.
EFFECTS OF SNORING CIGARS, PIPES AND
MEERsCHAUMs.

EFFECTS OF SNORING CIGARS, PIPES AND
MEERscHAUMs.
One of the most interesting aud novel
of all the speculaiions on the use of tobacco
was submitted TO The British Association
for the advancement Of Science, at is late
session, and the information afforded will
be well received by that large class Of per-
sons who indulge in the use of The weed.
Dr. Richardson first contrved an automa-
ton smoker, into whose mouth pipes, cigars
and meerschaums were placed, and the
smoke from them being caught and collect
ed, enabled him TO determine the products
OF the combustion. These he determined
as /, water 2, free carbon; 3, ammonia |;
4, carbonic acid 5, nicotine 6, an empy-
reumatc substance of resinous bitter
extract. He says:
4 Tho ~atst is in the form Of vapor, the
carbon, in minute particles suspended in
the water yanor, and giving the eddiss Of
smoke their blue color the ammonia is iu
the form of gas combined with carbonic
acid; and the carbonic acid is partly free
and partly in combination with ammonia
The nicotine, he says, being a non-volaiile
body, remains in the pipe the empyreu-
matte substance is volatile body of an
ammonical nature of the composition cc o
which the Doctor eonfesses himself unac
quainted, but which we have ventured t
consider as resin. Whatever it is, it i
that which gives the smoke of tobacco it
peculiar odor, and determine the flavor {

materials, and when concentrated has
most obnoxious and intolerable smell. Th
bitter substance is resinous and of dar
color. probably having an alkaloid as it
base. 1t is not volatile, and only leave
the pipe or cigar by being carried along i
fluid form.
The varieties of tobacco are innumers
bic. Simple tobacco that has not under
gone fermentation yields very little FIRE
carbon, n uch ammonia, carbonic acid, Httl
water, small quantity OF the empyresm
and an equally small quantity of bitter e.

THE HALcYoN DAYs.-The seven days
preceding and the seven days following the
shortest day, or the winter solstice, were
called by the ancients the halcyon days.
This phrase, so familiar as expressive of
period of tranquility and happiness, is
derived from a fable, that during the Pc
riod just indicated while the halcyon bird,
or king fisher, was breeding, the sea was
always calm, and might be navigated in
perfect security by the mariner. The name
halcyon is derived from two Greek words,
ais the sea. and ku0, TO conceive and, ac-
cording to the poetic fiction, the bird was
represented as Matching her eggs on a
fcatiug nest in the midst of the waters.
Dryden thus alludes to the motion:

As halcyons brooding a winter sea-

HOW TO SMOKE.

The method of smoking makes all the
difference in the world. Those who use
the clean, lcng pipes of clay-as did our
old Knickerbockers- only the effect OF
the gaseous bodies and the free carbon
Wooden pipes, and pipes with glass stems
are injurious. Cigars should never be
smoked TO the end Otherwise they are
more iniur ious than all. DIR. Richardson
says they should be cast aside as soon as
one half is smoked, and always smoked
from a porous or absorbent tube. Pipes
are much less hurtful than cigars. The
best pipe is long clay pipe; next TO this
the meer. chaum is the most wholesome
DIR. Richardson says the perfection OF
pipe will be found in meerschaum bowl
an amber mouthpiece and a clay stem. Al
attemps at pipes to condense the OIL have
thus lar failed. Every smoker should b'
careful of the manner in which he smokes
A short, foul pipe is very unhealthtul.

The water vapor of the smoke IS not m
furious, but the carbon in it settles on the
mucous membrane and irritates the throat.

RIvER.-Business was unusually brisk
on the landing yesterday. The river was
falling, with fourteen feet water i'll the
channel.
There were no arrivals from above Steu-
benville,as boats are unable topass under
the bridge at that point. Some two or
three steamboats, are. lying above the
bridge, waiting for a decline in the
water to enable them to pass under the
bridge without removing their pilot
houses; The new steamer Dictator, the
mammoth boat, of course could not get
under, and consequently did not arrive
here. If her owners had been wise they
would have had her built here, and then,
besides securing much better boat, they
would not have been troubled with the
Steubenville obstruction
P. S.-Since the above was placed in
type, the Dictator arrived at our wharf,
having succeeded in running the block
aden at Steubenville, after having lower
ed her ehimneys, taken down her jack.
staff, etc. The Dictator is very fine
boat, and will rank among the first
steamers afloat

A VALUABLE ACQUISITION Mr. Hail,
Clerk of the Supreme Court Of Appeals
of this State yesterday reached this city
from Lewisburg, having obtained the
large library formerly owned by the Su-
preme Court of Appeals OF Northwestern
Virginia Soon after the war began. the
late Judge J. L. Fry took possession OF
the books, boxed them up and stored
them away TO prevent their being de-
stroyed ty the contending armies The
members of the new Court of Appeals
were advised by Judge Fry of the action
he had taken, but owing to the unset
tied condition of the country it was
found impossible to get the books re-
moved to this city. A short time since,
q son-in-law of Judge Fry's wrote to the
Court of Appeals informing them that
they could have the library The Clerk
of the Court went after and received it,
and, as before stated, brought it to this
city yesterday morning. There are be-
tween FIVE and six thousand volumes in
the library, which will prove q valuable
addition to the library of the Court.

FIRE.-The alarm of fire about half
past eleven o'clock last night was caused
by the burning of the roof of Addison,
Ford & Co.'S Machine Shop, in Centre
Wheeling. The several fire companies
were promptly on hand, but their servi-
ces were scarcely needed, the fire having
been subdued by streams from the fire
plugs and hydrants in the neighborhood.
The roof of the building was almost
entirely destroyed, and the machinery in
the shop was somewhat damaged by
water and fallen timbers.
