tive answer to the inquiry, "Does 1t Pay to

weed himself, and his "counterblast" against

self. He says that smoking is a "barbarism. :"
that it is piece of wasteful extravaganza
that not only mars mans health, but his
manhood also, taking off the edge of virility,"
that it "blunts mans sense OF cleanliness" !"
that smoking lures and detains men from the
society of ladies'" that "it must be confessed
that tobacco is woman's rival her successful
rival;" that "it is the cigar and the pipe that
enable men to endure one another during the
whole of a long evening"" that one of the sub
tie, mysterious effects of tobacco upon the
male of our species is to disenchant him with
regard to the female" with much more which
is entirely true, but which is not likely to have
much effect upon the devotees of this filthy
and sensual habit.

Some weeks ago it was announced that Pc
ru had proposed to Chill, Bolivia, and Ecuador
to establish a confederation, and that the
project was favorably received in all the Re
publics. We now learn that Mexico intends
to join the alliance OF the Republics of South
America, and that the five Republics ofCen-
tral America intend to re-establsh their for.
mer confederation All these are important
indications that the people OF South America
begin to become conscious OF their common
nationality and of their common interests.
Mexico and Chill are fully as well prepared
to become parts of one great nation as Mas
sachusets and Texas, as Naples and Sardinia.
as Prussia andIBayaria. The consolidation of
all the parts ofSpanish America into one ma
ton cannot be effected at once, but it seems
TO be their destiny, and would certainly be of
great advantage to all. United, these Repub-

would at once become one Of the great nations
