General Hiram Walbridge, who died in
New York on Tuesday, was one of the most
active and influential politicians in the Empire
State. He was born at Utica in 1921, but
removed to Toledo, Ohio, at an early age,
where he studied and practised law. In 1912
he was appointed brigadier-general in the
Ohio militia, and acquired the military title
which adhered to him throughlife. Returning
to his native State he was elected to Congress
as democrat in 1858. When the rebellion
broke out General Walbridge took decided
stand for the Union, and contributed by his
voice and his means toward the active prose-
cution of the war. He was in the confidence
of the administration of President Lincoln,
and, like most of the ''war democrats" he
has since acted with the republican party.

Tobacco.
ESSAY BY A SMALL BOY.


Tobacco grows something's like
cabbages; but ! never saw mono of it
boiled, although I have eaten boiled
cabbage and vinegar on it, and I have
heard men say that cigars that Was
given to them on election day for
nothing, was cabbage leaves. To-
bacco stores are mostly kept by
wooden Injuns, who stand at the
door and try to fool little boys by
offering them . bunch Of cigars which
is glued into the Injun's hands and is
made Of wood also. Hogs do not like
tobacco ; mother do /. Tobacco was
invented by q man named Walter
Raleigh. Whan the people Arst saw
him smoking they thought he was .
steamboat, and as they had never
seen q steamboat, they were fright
ened. My sister Nancy is q girl. l
I don't know whether she likes to-
bacco or not. There is . young man
named Leroy who comes to see her.
l guess she likes Leroy. He was
standing on the steps one night, and
be had cigar In his mouth, and he
said he didn't know As she would
like it, and she said, aLsroy the per-
fume is agreeable But the next
morning, when my big brother Tom
lighted hia pipe, Nancy said, "Get
out Of the house, you horrid creature,
the smell Of tobacco makes me sick"
Snuff is Injun meal made out Of TO-
bacco. took 1 little snuff once and
then I sneeEed.
