SMOKING UNDER DIFFIcuLTIEs.-On the morning
of the memorable battle of Waterloo, Hennemann
had just handed his master (Blucher) lighted
pipe, when cannon ball struck the ground close
by, scattering earth and gravel in all directions
and causing the white charger on which Blucher
was mounted to spring aside-a man@uvre that
broke the pipe into thousand pieces before
the owner had time even to lift it to his lips.
"Just keep lghthed pipe ready for me /
shall be back again in few moments, after
have driven away the rascally French churls." :"
With these words Blucher gave the command
Forward, boys p and off he galloped with his
cavalry. Instead, however, of a chase of few
minutes, it was rapid march of nearly whole
hot Summer day, as we all know from history.
After the battle was over, Blucher rode back
with Wellington to the place where he first got
glimpse of the combating armies, and nearing
the spot where Blucher had halted in the morn
ing, they saw, to their surprise, solitary man,
his head tied with handkerchief, one arm in a
sling, calmly smoking pipe.
"Donner und blitzp cried Blucher, "why
that is my Hennemann. How you look, my boy;
what are you doing alone2'
Waiting for your speedy return" was the
grumbling answer "You have come at last
have waited for you here, pipe in mouth, for
the whole long day. The cursed French have
shot away every pipe from my mouth, have rip
ped the flesh from my head, and shattered my
arms with their accursed bullets. 1t is well
there is an end to the battle, or you would have
been too late for the last pipe"
Saying which he handed Blucher the pipe to
enjoy the remaining fumes of the weed. We'll
lingtou, who had listened attentivevly to the
conversation, here remarked to Bucher
You have just admired the unhinching 10y
atty and bravery of my HIghlanders, what shall
say of this true and devoted soul2'

DEATH OF A VETERAN EDIToR.-John Saxton,
one of the oldest editors in the United States,
died at Canton, Ohio, on the 10th ult. He was
born in 1892, and for ffty-six years published
the Repository newspaper at Canton, Ohio. In
sl5 he wrote for his paper news article on
the battle of Waterloo which led to the surren-
der of Napoleon Bonaparte, and in 1870 he wrote
news article on the battle of Sedan and the
| capture of Louis Napoleon. His period of edi-
torial labor commenced shortly before the end
of the first French Empire, and closed shortly
after the termination of the second. 1t is doubt
ful whether any man living has been so long in
the editorial business in one office. He left
half a dozen children, including one in the Coast
Survey Office in Washington, and another in the
Treasury Department.

ORIGIN OF THE CIGAR.-The first account we
have of the cigar is found in the works of Nav
arctic and Las Casas, and is quoted by Irving.
In describing the first voyage of Columbus, he
says: "They beheld several of the natives GO
ing about with fire brands in their hands, and
certain dried herbs which they rolled up in a
leaf and lighted one end, put the other end in
their mouths, and continued inhaling and puff
ing out the smoke. A roll of this kind they
called tobacco, name since transferred to
the plant of which the rolls are made, though
this is the name by which the cigar is known in
Cuba. Oviedo speaks of it among the evil Gus
toms of the Indians of Cuba, very pernicious,
and producing insensibility. The mode OF
smoking was by Inhalation through the nostris
by means of hollow, forked cane, the forked
ends being inserted in the nostrils, the other end
applied to the burning leaves of the plant.

FoREIGN IMMIGRATIoN.-From the census re-
turns of 1870 it would appear that the largest
proportion of foregn-born persons in any of the
States is to be found in California. 1t stands
thus; Natives, 356,39 foreigners, 2O9, ,839
tives, 600, ,32O foreigners, 3O4, 845. The States
with the smallest foreign population would ap-
pear to be North Carolina and Virginia. The
latter with a population of 1911 1888, has but
1850 foreigners, while North Carolina, with
l,O6s, ll3 inhabitants, has but 1922 foreign
born.

A GREAT INDUCEMBNT.-One of the great in

person who dies there is entitled to a railroad
ride after his death. The people have used all
the dirt within four miles of them trying to
make bottom to the city, and there is none to

have to go about eleven miles to the hills, and
