ToBACCo.-The Revolver, a Missis-
sippi paper, fires a sharp shot at to-
bacco. The editor, who is an anus
ing fellow, speaks thus:
awe remember wildly and well, in
our years of sin and shame, when we
dcfled our mouth with the vile, filthy,
disgusting and deadly narcotic, we
were dry about every hour, and with
devilish sort of thirst, mere brandy
would not begin to extinguish; it took
brandy smasher, or some other equal
ly potent dram of diluted hell-fire, to
quench the tobacco drouth, it was
chew and drink, drink aud chew alter.
nately, through the day; and we are
entirely convinced that chewing super
induced morbid thirst, and drinking
melted to chewing. So thoroughly
satisfied are we that tobacco consump
ton leads on to rum consumption, tha
were we supreme law-giver, and re
solved to bring about total abstinence
from every article, the use of whicl
could be abused to the injury or de
struction of the user, we would begil
by prohibiting the cultivation of tC
bacco."

SENATOR PoLAND.-Messrs. Poland,
Edmunds and Morrill,, addressed the
members of the Legislature and others
at Montpelier on Wednesday evening
of last week, on the political question
of the day. Representatives hall was
packed to its utmost capacity. A cor
respondent of the Burlington Free
Press (supposed to be one of its edi-
tors) speaks thus Of Judge Poland's
remarks. 1t will be remembered the
Press bitterly opposed Judge P. in
the senatorial canvass: Judge Po-
land spoke last, and longest, but no
one interested in the subject could
have found him tedious. After calm
review Of the situation, he took up
the constitutional amendments in de-
tail and indicated them wit a
strength and earnestness which raised
him in my opinion, already high, and
doubt not in that of his hearers gen.
orally. His exposition of the impor,
tance Of the first section in reference
to citizenship, in view of the possible
changes in the supreme court and of
other possibilities, was fuller and more
forcible than anything | remember Oh
that point. His condemnation of the
President was equally emphatic, tho
without denunciation. The Burling
ton Times thus speaks of Judge Pc
lands speech:
awe learn that without disparage
ment of the much praised speech O.
Mr.. Edmunds, the admirable effort of
Judge Poland was the theme of uni
versal commendation. Ex-governo
Clifford of Massachusetts, and severa
other foreigners were present, ant
expressed warm admiration of th
speech of our ninety day senator, wh'
ought to be senator for life. 1t wa
commonly remarked that if Judge Pc
, lands address had been made the da
before instead of the day after tn
election, the result would have bee
'on the contrary, quite the reverse
For the credit of the State we ar
f glad that Judge Poland is one of ou
: senator's, even for ninety days. II
, is every inch senator of the Vernon

The Gray Swan.

go, tell me sailor, tell me true,
Is my little lad, my Elihu,
A sailing with your ship"'
The sailors eyes were dim with dew
"Your little lad, your EGhu %
He said with trembling lip
"What little lad What ship?"
"What little lad as if there could be
Another such one as he
What little lad, do you say?
Why Elihu, that took to the sea
The moment put him off my knee
1t was just the other day
The Gray Swan sailed away"
''The other day :" the sailors eyes
Stood open with great surprise
''fhe other day the Swami"
His heart began in his throat to rise.
"Ay, ay, sir, here in the cupboard lies
The jacket he had on
"And so your lad is gone ?"
"Gone with the Swan" "And did she stand
With her anchor clutching hold of the sand
For a moment and never stir :"
"Why, to be sure I've seen from the land,
Like a lover kissing his lady's hand.
The wild sea kissing her
sight to remember, sir"
"But my good mother, do you know
All this was twenty years ago?
l stood on the Gray Swans deck,
And to that lad saw you throw,
Taking it off, as it might be so
The handkerchief from your neck"
GAY, and he'll bring it back
"And did the little lawless lad,
That made you sick and made you sad,
Sail with the Gray Swans crew."
"Lawless the man is going mad
The best boy ever mother had
To be sure he sailed with the crew!
What would you have him do"
"And has he never written q line,
Nor sent you word nor made you sign,
To say he was alive :"
"Hold if twas wrong, the wrong is mine
Besides, he may be in the brine,
And could he write from the grave
Tut, man what would you have :"
"Gone twenty years--a long, long cruise
Twas wicked your love to abuse,
But if the lad still live,
And come back home, think you can
Forgive him? ~ Miserable man,
You're mad as the sea-you rave
What have to forgive :"
The sailor twitched his shirt so blue,
Aud from within his bosom drew
The handkerchief. She was wild.
"My God my Father is it true?
My little lad, my Elihu
My blessed boy, my child
My dead, my living child"

France is getting afraid of the Uni

prominent newspaper of Paris, has
a long article urging the necessity Of
confederation on the part of the
Western nations of Europe to oppose
the alliance between the United States

should be driven back into Asia, and
that the United States ought to attend

New ENGLAND DYING OUT.-About
three-fourthS of all the children born
in Boston during 1865 were of pa
rents born in a foreign land; there
fore, argues one of the papers, ''the
Yankee stock will in time die out in
New England We think by that
time, Yankee stock will have peopled
will be the predominant stock Of this
continent from the st. Lawrence to
the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific shore. Because Yankee in
telligence knows how to rear children
to maturity, while foreign ignorance
and filth kills, almost as soon as born !;
for out of every hundred children dy-
ing, lightweight are of foreign parent
age, and this has been the rate for the
last FIVE years in New York city,
where the native population it 49 per
cent, and the foreign 81, or nearly
equal, and it is presumed that the
same proportion holds good in all our
large cities. Hence if 62 per cent. Of
the children born in Boston are of
foreign parents, and SO per cent. die,
it is very easy to see they might as
we'll not have been born at all, a great
deal "mightier," as far as the question
Of the foreign outstripping the Yankee
stock is concerned. The fact is Meth
