Abs' nance from tobacco and VINO
is taken by some good people as an in
failible mark of goodness. The theory
is fallaoious, however, and one should
notbe too eager to lend uulimited
amounts of money to n man simply
because he neither smokes nor iLdulg-
os in vinous beverages. T. is stated
OF Gray, the absconding defaulter and
forger, that he mover cheered his h, a, t
with glass Of Hiae, novsr tranouiliz-
cd his spirit with the fragrant fumes
of segar. He might have done both,
habitually, and been fugitive from
justice all the same but the fact
points moral, which is "Don't
think that man must necessarily be
virtuous because he denies himself the
use of liquor and tobacco, necessarily
vicious because he dosen't." Or
course it would be too much to. expect
rabld teetotalcrs to view the matter
in this light, even with tho example
of Gray before them, but it is Just as
we'll to draw the moral, nevertheless.

The point Of the "slur" is the pro-
liability of it's truth. The misfortune
of the Cuban patriots is that th ir
tyrants have been able to outbid
them. Tho Junta should have pre-
sented General Grant with a sugar
plantation, and given Butler liberal
donation of silver spoons. ab.
The new censue, it is thought, will
show the United States to have over
10000, 900 Of people, and South Caro-.
lima 100000 ; and if the House Of
Representatives shall remain the same
as now, the ratio will have to be in
creased to one member for overy l66.-
322 of population. South Carolina
would thus have five members, in
place Of four, at present. ,u9>
