ON TOBACCO.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.


From the ATLANTIC ALMANAC for 1869. J
The tobacco question is one of the
hardest to deal with. When the Arctic
voyager describes his little party tray
cling over the icebergs, and pictures
them as they rest at evening, when
their freezing days journey is over,
WHO can grudge them the pipe of tobacco
they take with such calm enjoym ent
after their coffee ? Who would have
robbed Napoleon of his snuff-box at
Waterloo Who would deny the sailor
l'on his midnight watch. or the sentry
on his round, the solace which he finds
in his acrid nepenthe ? The plain truth
about tobacco is, that it is not a strong
poison enough to produce any very
palpable effects on the health. when
used in small quantities by people of
average constitutions. Yet remember
seeing a very famous athlete decline q
cigar offered him. on the ground that
it would be enough to unfit him for his
performance, which required perfectly
steady nerves and muscles. A danger
to which smokers are exposed is injury
to the temper, through the increased
irritability which the practice is apt to
produce, and to the will, which it is
powerful to subjugate. This habit in
PRODUCES into the conduct.of life one of
the most imperious forms of self in
diligence known to human experience.
Our State prison convicts are snid to
pine for their tobacco more thar any
other luxury of freedom. The amouat
of duty unperformed or postponed or
sighted, in obedience to. the craving
for the narcotic stimulate, must form
large item in the list of the many
things left undone that ought to have
been done. Carry the use of the
strange herb little further. and the
partial palsy of the will extends to other
functions. The sense of vision is one
of the first points where the further en-
croachment of the drug shows itself
Many cases of 0moW0sis, or loss of
power in the nerve of the eye, are
traced to the free use OF tobacco. Some
hard smokers are great workers, as we
all know; but few who have watched
the effects of nicotization on will and
character would deny thS it handicaps
a man, and often pretty heavily, in the
race for distinction. 1t encourages
revery, the contemplation of the pos
sible, which is. charming but up-
wholesome substitute for the perform
ance of the duty next at hand. If we
divide onr friends into the if things were
so and the as thing are so sections, the
nicotizers will probably be found most
numerous among the former. But
it must be remembered that all habits
of this kind, like insanity, are more apt
to fasten themselves on natures origin
ally defective and Unbalanced, than on
those in which the p"ise of the faculties
is well adjusted, and the self -determin.
ing power too vigorous to become en-
shaved.

OUR INDIAN POLICY.

1t is not complimentary to the saga
city of our statesmen, who have hereto
fore given thought to our relations with
the Indians, that the true policy to be
pursued with them is yet to be deter
mined by experiment. The action of
Congress on the question, during the
past two sessions, has been, in short
about as follows: First-The House
by large vote, demanded the restora-
ton of the Indian Bureau to the War
Department, which the Senate declin
ed to grant but made three other pro
positIons-one for the appointment of
an Indian Commission one for separ
ate Indian Department in the Cabinet :;
and one for the retention of Indian
control in the Interior in time of peace,
aud in the War Department in time of
war. The House demurred to all these
plans, and asked Joint Committee on
Indian Affairs, to which the Senate did
not nccede. While matters were thus,
the Indian appropriations came up for
action. The House, having adopted
one theory, the Senate adopted the
other between the two the bill slipped
to the ground, and it was the only APP
preparation bill which suffered that fate
at the close of the last Congress. In
| order to obtain the desired appropria-
| ton, the Indian question was taken up
early in the session just closed, but the
two Houses could not agree upon the
amounts, and neither would recede
from its position. But at this iuncture
came in new element, in the shape of
the now famous Friends proposition.
This was, in brief. proposition that
the President should appoint commits
sion of ten persons, " eminent for their
intelligence and philanthropy to ex-
ercise the whole control, under the di-
rection of Secretary Cox, Of the annual
disbursement to the Indians, and of an
additional two millions, to be placed at
the discretionary disposal of the Presi-
dent, for the purpose of ".civilizing
/ the Indians" This is the present pc
sition of our Indian affairs, and the
workings of the civilizing experiment,
under the supervision of the Quakers,
will be watched with much interest, as
it will determine our future policy. The
suggestions made by President Grant
on the subject, in his message, are thus
unexpectedly to receive practical tes'
and under apparently favorable auspi
: ces. If the policy is successful in sol
wing the vexed and troublesome Indiar
question, the administration may just
ly be proud of result that will save
hundreds of millions to the treasury
and add tens of thousands of men IL
the ranks of civilization.
