HuxIer,s Experlenee as q smoker.

Al recent meeting Of the British As
ISOLATION for the Advancement 0fheiehoei
n naper on the use and abuse of tobacco
called up Professor Huxley, the Presl-
dent of the Association, who gave an
amusing account Of his experience of
smoking. He said he was placed IN a
rather awkyard position with regard to
the question Of SMOKING for fotty years
of his life tobacco had been 10 bim O
deadly poison. He was brought up as
medical student, and had all chances to
acquire the art Of smoking, but his
smoking, after a few puifs, always re-
suited in his finding himself on the floor.
He failed to become a smoker when he
was an officer in the navy. and he had for
long time greet antipathy TO smokers.
But some few years ago hs vas making
tour in Brittany when he stayed al %
old inn: it was awfully wet and cold
without, sai . friend Of his took to
smoking and tempted him 70 have a
cigar.
His friend looked so happy, the FIRE
was so warm within the inn, and It was
so cold and wet without, thathe thought

himself changed man. He found that
he was in a position Of lamentable per-
vert 1aughter), and his case would illus
trate TO them the evil Of bad associates,
although the person who led him astrsy
was most distinguished and late presi-
dent Of this association. From that day
he dated his ruin llaughter), for from
that day, whenever smoking was gong
on, they might be pretty sure that he
joined in il. There vas 3 certain kind

if kept in moderation; and he must say
this for tobacco, that it was a sweetener
and equalizer Of the temper. He was
glad TO state that in his opinion there
! was nothing worse than excessive smok-
ing; but any one could undertake % de-
stroy himself with green tea, or any
other article Of diet, if carried TO excess.

The Land Ring.

The Walhalla Courier states that the Land
Commissioner has sent to the clerks office
the title deeds for about 1000 acres Of land,
purchased in Oconee County, at the average
price Of, Sc per acre. This looks, at the first
blush: as though the Ring were going to do
something for forty or fifty Of the landless
citizens Of Oconee But the Courier bursts
the bubble. 1t says s6.per acre is an ex-;
trayagant price for iour-6fths OF tile farms in
the county. Thousands of acres OF upland
can be bought Of so cents to So per acre.
One of the tracts conveyed tocthe Commits
sioner was sold a few months back at 81 per
acre. In 1866 ii aoas bid off at pubic sale at
is cents per acre, and in 1858 aoas offered
to any ,colored or aohite man at so cents cash
or IS cents on time, purchaser taking a bond
for titles And this very land the State now
offers to the colored man at sir dollars an
acre-a great boon surely. The cost to the
State Of this land, aoorth IS cents an.acre,
is about SO, assuming that the State bonds
with which it was purchased realized seven
ty-fve cents on the dollar net cash. This is
another knock-down argument in favor Of
Reform. .1 !. 5 g. J.sl
