To SMOKERS s-Children of smoking
fathers often have their brains and ner-
vous system entirely impregnated with
the poison of nicotine in the helpless age
of infancy. A couple came to country
place entirely for the health of their only
boy, feeble infant. The child was pale
and sickly, constantly. The parents had
but one room, in which they lived with
him, and which was every evening blue
with tobacco smoke. Every evening that
helpless creature took into his lungs as
much tobacco as if he had smoked Gig
arctic. Still more than this-the mother
who was nursing that infant did what
was equivalent to smoking one cigar
every evening, she breathed her hus-
bands smoke. Now, if your baby smokes
cigars, you will find, by and by, when he
comes to need brains, that this brain
power will not be found He viii be
starry, fitful, morbid, full of nervous
kinks and cranks, one of those wretched
human beings who live life like that
described by Hawthorne in his story of
"Feathertop," only capable of existence
and efficiency while he is smoking, but
sinking into dimness and stupidity when
he stops.

Mrs. Laura Cuppy, the popular lectur-
er on spilitualism, was divorced from
her husband Fletcher Cuppy, in the Dis
trict Court of El Dorado county, on Tues
day of last week, and on Thursday fol
lowing she was again married, this time
to w. w. Smith, formerly of Sacramento.
This, we believe is her third husband.

New York Postal City Delivery.

Now that our new Postmaster has got fairly
into his place we would call his attention 10
the necessity of instituting an inquiry into
the practice OF our free delivery systew.
Notwithstanding the efforts made by the late
incumbent to induce our citizens, and particu-
larly our merchants, TO adapt themselves to
the new plan, there is very general belief in
the public mind that free delivery of letters
means frequent delay Of letters. The cxpe-
rence Of our merchants Is that under the old
fashioned box system they could get the main
bulk Of their correspondence by nine o'clock
In the morning, but with the free delivery plan
IL comes struggling TO thcm at all hours of tho
day, though the mails do not reach the city In
any such struggling order.
We know that the argument Is that the city
free delivery must be made sef-supporting
before there will be funds to Increase liz eff
cheney. But TO US II Is equally evident that our
citizens. and particularly our merchants, can
not he induced voluntarily 10 abandon the old
plan IL the new one does not work satisfao<

A Western exchange fcelingly asserts that
an ''overworked woman is always sad sight,
sadder great deal than an overworked man,
because she il 50 much more fertile in capa-
cisies of suffering than man. She has 80
many varieties Of headache, sometimes as if
Jacl were driving the nail which killed Sisera
into her temples, sometimes a tightening
around the brow, as if her capband were
Luke's iron crown and then her neuralgias
and backaches and her fits Of depression and
many more trials linked to her fine and noble
structure en!itle her to pity when she is placed
in conditions which develop her nervous ten
dcncies." How mach better would it be for
the sirons-minded Of the sex who are
kissing around club houses. in public hotels
and other public places about woman's
right 10 vots and - rrr ne masculine
machine generally, 10 take note Of the
poor overworkcd women and endeavor to
alleviate their suiferings by kind and tender
mnistrations of love. As to the question Of
woman's right to vote. 1t really does not make
much difference whether she does or not, con-
siderng the way elections have gone in this
country for the last few years.
The New York herald., 1869-05-04

1t is evident that the men composing the
Presidents Cabinet are ill-suited to their posi-
tions. None of them take hold of the great
questions appertaining to their departments in
a manner that indicates grasp of mind and
originality in execution. We speak Of these
things for the benefit of the President himself.
He requires men around him who have sufi-
cent brains to administer the laws in all ex-
cept extraordinary cases, which may require
consultation and close executive attention.
General Grant has made a mistake in suppOs-
ing that civil government can be directed by
military forms. The civil power is the reverse
Of the military. The former proceeds from
the people to the centre-the mass governs
and directs through its mouthpiece, the Presi-
dent; the military power is the centre, creating
all action and shaping everything. 1t is with
the military idea predominant and in keeping
with his education and habits that General
Grant came into office. The Cabinet was
selected under this principle, and not having
been accustomed or fitted to work in such a
direction they already show signs of inn
becity. The Secretary of the Treasury
finds the financial problem too ponderous for
the keeper of a country store or for solution
in accordance with the old European book
theories. He finds it impossible to run the
American treasure box on European wheels.
The letter from Washington, which we pub
lish elsewhere to-day, says truly that "Mr.
Borie was called from the most complete
retirement" much to the astonishment of
himself as well as the country. Ad-
miral Porter is to-day virtually filling
the Office of Secretary Of the Navy.
The Secretary Of State, worse than all the
rest, is as un-American as it is possible for
an officer to be. His tame foreign policy is
in ill-keeping with the bold attitude of the
people and the Senate. The couatry does not
expect him to think for it, but simply to watch
its temper and obey its mandates: When he
fails in this he ceases to be the representative
of the United States in the position where the
President has unfortunately placed him. We
are little disposed to have a Secretary amuse
the people with ideas Of bold policy on any
foreign question while he has q private and
opposite understanding with the Power to
which 1t relates. This is too much in the track
of the last eight years.
We speak of the necessity Of rcmodelling
the Cabinet that President Grant may have
around him good working men, who live with
the times and understand the animating forces
of our political existence. We know that the
President enjoys himself in looking upon his
fast horses rather than in the analysis of ab-
struse governmental questions. This and good
assistants will enable him to last ont his term
solid sense, and will readily see the necessity
for ADLER Cabinet brains, not only for the
reasons we have indicated, but for those which
he himself gave in his inaugural address.

| A Cuban Consress--AnneSati.n 20 the United
States tho Declared Object Of the ReyoIu-
| tioD.
| While the Spanish authorities in Havana
are loudly assuring the world that the
Cuban instruction is very nearly extin-
guished, and that sixty days more will see the
end of the revolution, we are startled with a
telegram-suppressed in Havana, but sent to
| us via Key Wcst--announcing that the Cuban
| Congress has assembled at Sibanicd under the
| Presidency of General Cespedes, and calmly
| declared the objects of the revolution and
! its confidence in the success Of the cause.
Freedom and annexation to the United States
are the unanimous vote of the assembled
patriots. General Quesada is appointed Com
mander-in-C Chief of the forces, and the most
determined spirit animated the members of the
assembly.
This is an announcement that will ring
through America and Europe. 1t will be re-
membered that months ago these Cuban
patriots decreed the liberation of the slaves In
the island as being logical sequence and part
of their effort for their own freedom; and now
comes the unhesitati,g proclamation of their
confidence in the great republic and their aim
to be admitted to its union and defence. Ii
is q novel and bold principle of civil war, and
will complicate the position OF our people and
our government very much Whatever view
the administration may take of the contest
now going on in Cuba, it cannot reject such
frank avowal of confidence in its wisdom and
integrity; for TO do 80 would be demerit TO
its own character and sef-respect. That
this bold step will awaken still
greater sympathy among our people in behalf
of the patriot ,,,se in Cuba no man can doubt.
What attitude Spain will or can take in this
strange juncture can be merely matter of
conjecture. She has not yet proclaimed war
as existing in Aer American colonial possess
sions, though her officers made the mistake of
assuming to exercise ri gbts on th, sea peculiar
10 II state of war, from which they have natu-
rally been compelled to recede.
Spain may demand of Our government dis
avowal of sympathy with the revolution in
Cuba but TO do so she will subject herself to
the dilemma of either receiving The rebuff of
ie.uSIi Oi VI uuiDitttuS d Q'SaVOWdi WHiCu
neither she nor the world can believe. Yet if
she docs not do so she will permit The tacit ac-
ceptance by our government aud people Of the
aim Of the revolution to exercise its flll
force in the contest and it's nataral inf ;cncc in
tho diplomacy of cabinets. The Intervention
OF other European cabinets in The diolan,a:.::;::
discussion, which the Spanish journals have
frequently in!imstcd as likely to be trough!
about, would oaiy comp!icato The question still
more. The step taken by the Cubans clcvates
their dom sic aff.irs TO the full dignity of an
hmerc q ,cstioa, and European nleddiing
can only intensity its character and consolidate
its influence. AS step in diplomacy, there
fore and in the arts of governm ent, the action
Of The CubM Congress, is a very shrewd one,
and shows skill and proficiency which does
them high honor as beginners.
