THE PHILOSOPHY OF SMOKING.
4 LECTURE By DR.. DAr1,y,,

At the Cooper Institute Wednesday
evening, The Rev. S. w. Bailey delivered
facetious lecture on the "Philosophy Of
Smoking" designed to prove that the prac-
tice was conducive to the growth Of dem
ocratic ideas and family happiness. There
was good attendance, and the lecture was
entertaining and we'll received. In tho
course of the interesting address it was re-
marked that the advent of the use of to-
bacco gave birth to democratic ideaa and
that in olden times tobacco had been re-
garded as great gift of the great though
unknown spirit, and that in later years we
heard OF smoking the pipe of peace. The
regard entertained by the Indians for to-
bacco was then dwelt upon, and their Gus.
toms were humorously referred to. The
lecturer then called to his aid, in behalf Of
tho use of the favoritc weed, the great po.-
cts of by gone times, who, through their
works, still live among US.
Tobacco was declared as divine and rare:
a sovereign to all DESTROYS of 9uietude and
peace. The we'll known ode, by Charles
Lamb, to tobacco, was then quoted in be-
half of the almost universal use of tobacco.
Tobacco, said the lecturer, is powerful
political agent, it is loyal to the State, and
is destructive Of despotism; as we'll as pro.
tective Of democratic freedom. The use of
tobacco was then characterized choice
blessing, and ripened early youth into full
grown manhood. Its elating and aspiring
qualities were then diated upon. A.
perfect stimulant i. was almost uneaualed.
and it engendered high tone in social life.
The learned lecturer then called to his aid
the poetical odes Of Cowper and others, on
tobacco. Various illustrations were Quoted
and the whole tenor of the speakers ideas
was in favor Of the free use Of the fragrant
| weed.
The question as to how much the world
is indebted to smoking was referred to.
1t begot real kindliness between the vari.
ous classes Of society. 1t was Democrat
io leveler, and was conducive Of the utmost
equality.
Mr.. Bailey then concluded by highly
humorous sketch Of the various uses to
which tobacco was beneficial, and not, as
supposed by some, injurious. The Iectu-
rer brought his address to conclusion amid
considerable applause.

A LITTLE SroRY.-A young man in this
city has been in the habit visiting the resi-,
dence Of widow lady, who, .....
Like Jephtha, Judge of Israel.
Had daughter passing fair" .,
The young man was ass;duous in his at. ?
tentions, aud was constant visitor. This
notice awoke in the young lady's heart tho
tender passions, and in her dreams she i'm
agined she should become tho wife of her
Adonis. Matters kept on in the same old
way. The young man continued bis atten-
tions, and people began to wisper among
themselves, "a match sure!' while know.
ing ones, With solemn toss of the head,
would remark, "what did tell you?"-
The young man went to his supposed char.
mer's house the other evening for the pur.
pose Of taking tea: During TIE meal, the
mother asked, "When are you and-to
he married?' The young man leaned back
in his chair and cooliy remarked that he
had no idea OF marrying any body, and that
be and her daughter were nothing but
friends. lie said he supposed she UNDER
stood it so all the time. The young lady
said not word, but rose up, seized the
teapot, which she filled with hot tea, took
off the liz, ,and threw its boiling contents
into bis face, scalding himself severely and
leaving an ugly mark; She then furiously
ordered him to quit her sight.

though the crop Of cotton is small,
its deficiency in amount is, to q
considerable extent compensated
by the great increase in its value.
One bale Of the staple puts as
much money into the pockets of
the producer, as did two formerly.
There has been as yet in this COM
munity, and we record the fact
with pleasure, but little DISPOSE
ton to press suits for the collec-
tion Of debts. \ good understand
ing appears to exist between cred
itors and debtors. Still old claims
and liabilities must at some time
be met and scttled.7 EEach. succce-
ding year renders the burden more
onerouS. We urge those Of our
readers who have outstanding OBJ
legations to meet, to cancel as far
as possible their indebtedness, and
relieve to that extent the general
scarcity Of money. Cash passes
rapidly from hand to hand, and q
hundred doiIats put in circulation

discharge q thousand dollars Of
debt before uight. The cotton
crop Of this District applied, wise
ly and economically, will goavery
far towards the amclioration of
our present pecuniary condition.
We are anxious to see the good
feeling which at present exists
amongst US continue; and to effect
this desirable result, there " must
be some general evidence of a de-
sire on the part Of debtors to ex-
tinguish their obligations. The
majority Of creditors are not mer-
ciless Shyloclls, but on the contra
ry are willing to effect most gen.
crous compromises with honest
and worthy debtors. Let kind
ness be shown on one hand, can
dor and integrity on the other.
Let justice and right govern both,
and we shall be spared the sad ne
ccssity Of witnessing our people
engaged in litigation and their
homestcads passing for song, un-

Of the Legislature, for the protec-
ton of administrators, executors,
and guardians, are valid and in
vestments made by them in good
faith, in late Confederate securi-
ties. under color Of law, will now
be upheld. the loss falling upon
the estate. and not upon such ex-
ccutorS: administrators, or guar
dianS.
?. Contracts made during tho
war. which recognized the lawful
ness Of Confederate bonds and
Treasury notes, and which were
made valid, will not be pronoun-
ccd void.
3. Collection Of debts due an es-
tate. by the personal representa-
tive. in Confederate Treasury
will be upheld if made in good
faith. even through the debt was
due before the war, and the notes
became worthless in the hands Of
the administrator.
+. Where rights had already
vested before the surrender, or
acts have been performed under
the laws then in force, the public
policy will control the question Of
their legality and loyalty to tho
national government does not re-
puirr interference with such past
transactions. if honestly made,
and in accordance, with the laws
Of the State at the time.

prepared for them and for the en-

also going to Liberia in the ship

BY reason Of the train from Au-

track was cleared, and repaired:
the passenger train went on to

for voyage Of two months, and
there are supplies for six months

Better give their creditors part Of
the Land and rid themselves Of
