DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
PosTPoNED.-The Democratic State
Central Committee, upon the advice OF
prominent members of the party be-
longing to the country Parishes, have
determined to revoke their call for a
State Convention on the 4th of March.
We understand that the reasons as
signed by the gentlemen from the in
terror are these-that the time is too
short in which to elect delegates to q
Convention to be held as early as
the 4th of March, and that if there
were time, there is no business of a
character affecting the State, for the
Convention to trsnsact, which the
State Central Committee cannot them

most brilliant one. and no small
share Of the credit i due to Miss
Laura Keene who hes been delight
ing the fashionable world at Walls
Open House for the past month with
her company Of comedians from
Philadelphia. The success Of Sheri-
dams greatest dramatic effort, "The
School for Scandal" was beyond pre-
cedent in Washington. The House
has been crowded in every part by
the beauty, slite and fashion Of this
city; General Sherman and family
occupy the boxes several evenings
each week. The divine Laura has
succeeded in attracting General
Grant from the mlnstxels until he has
become an Aabitxe of the legitimate
drama. Miss Keene's rendition Of
Lady Tesxle WAS . thorough artistic
and elegant performance. stamping
her. beyond doubt, the Queen of
comedy. Her dress, as usual, was
beyond the language of commenda-
ton. Mr.. Frank Mordaunt as the
gay, merry, whole-souled Charles
Surface was q delightful dramatic
treat. while the costly magni6cience
of his dress was the remark of every
tongue. The true artiste was 40
quickly discerned in his dress and
appearance as in his excellent render
ing of the Dramatist's lines. By this
performance he has added greatly
to his previous reputation. The
dresses in the School for Scandal were,
even in the minor parts not only cor
rect but beautiful, the greatest praise

TOBACCO, EXCEPTIONALLY DANGER
oUs.-A writer in the Spectator thinks
tobacco has q property belonging tn
very few substances, which makes ito
nae exceptionally dangerous prop
erfv, when administered in an overdose,
OF enecfing some permanent change,
probably in the spinal cord, which
renders the victim for ever after liable
to injury from the minutest dose -
Cases are quoted from DR.. Drnden's
work on tobacco. M. T.. n lawyer, 30
years Of age, Of athletic frame, for Eve
years had shown Symphonic Of a spinal
affection, which had resisted all rene.
dies. On the Recommendation If DR..
Drnden. he gave mp the nee Of tobacco,
in which he had INDUCED to excess.
The result was that all tho aymp' Oms
disappeared, a. IL by enchantment, and
ut the end If one month the cure was
complete. One day. dining with the
doctor, he indnlged himself, contrary to
the earnest remonstrance If the former
in u cigar. No sooner had he finished
the second one than he felt that all his
old sensations had returned. Warned
by this decisive intimation, the gentle
man henceforth gave mp his cigar. took
t"dies for month, and has ever since
enjoyed excellent health. Tie second
case was that If person who felt his
energies declining. lost his appetite,
and only found comfort in smoking
very strong cigars. Re complained Of
acnte pain in the regi"n Of his stomach
every afternoon, which only ceased at
night; trembling Of the limbs, palpita-
tiOn, and sometimes sickness. On his
relinqnishing the nae Of tobacco for one
month all the symptoms disappeared;
hut prefrrring the pleasure from tobac-
CO to health, he resumed its use, and
he'd in return renewal of al his pains.
In the third case the patient, aged
forty five years. extremely s6ber, and
very regular in all his habits, was
tronhled by the premonitory symptoms
vt melancholy mania. He MAS perfect
~ aware Ofhis ballucinafiOns, but could
not Escape them. After two or three
weeks, MEDICAL treatment, dnring
which he felt 90 desire to use tobacco,
these symptoms passed a~si,, but they
returned as eOOn 40 he renamed liIa
cigar. AdmOnished BY this experience,
he renowned tobacco entirely, and
from that day has had no recurrence 1T
the eymptoma. Other caaes of simi-
lar character are brought under the
notice Of physicians. The mos: de.
termined devOtee oftobacen, who takes
an overdose, or uses q much larger
quantity than nsual, will suffer more or
less severely, and not only at the time,
but at intervals afterward.
