DELETERIoUS EFFECTS OF SMOKING
Here and there about the street corners
you will see lot Of urchins, some Of
them decently clad and presenting a
respectable appearance, who are en-
gagged in asserting their manhood by
putting away at execrable cigars. 1t is
fair to presume that their anxious man.
mas are not aware of the toul habits
their darling boys pick up and practice
outside Of the parental roof, but for their
benefit they should know that it is
stated that French physician has in
vestigated the effect of smoking on
thirty-eight boys, between the ages OF
nine and fifteen, who were addicted to
the habit. Twenty-seven presented dis.
tinct symp toms Of nicotine poison. In
twenty-five there were serious disorders
of the circulation, indigestion, dizziness
OF intellect, and marked appetite Tor
strong drinks; in three there was heart
affection; in eight decided deterioration
of blood; in twelve there was frequent
epitaxis; ten had disturbed sleep, and
four had liberation of the mucous
membrane Of the mouth. 1t is easy,
then, to see how the ranks OF the
drunkards and dissolute men about
town" are recruited, when there are 80
many boys in training for dellrium ire
mems and the horrors Of dissipation.

ROLLER SrArrNs-THB RrNK-WHAf
10 Ir?-One Of the greatest needs OF
our day and generation is a healthfui
and innocent exercise. 1t has come to
be reproach to the women Of America
that, while they are admitted TO be pos
sessed of faces the beau ideal Of beauty
they lack in physique, in that spring of
muscle, that elasticity of step that
comes only from free use of the limbs
in exercise. A thousand gymnastic sx-
ercises have been invented for the
women and children OF this country,
all looking to the more perfect develop
ment of form and of power. Among
the most popular and most benefcient
requirements of the age is the art Of
skating on roller skates.
We attended yesterday the rink open
ed in McIIain's building. where roller
skating is taught to ladies and gentle
men, and must confess to receiving the
highest pleasure from seeing the young
people flying past us in the enjoyment
OF this health.giving exercise. Their
eyes glistening with the pleasurab!e ex'
element Of the scene, their cheeks
rudy with the exercise, and all happy
with the delightful enjoyment.
This roller skating should become
very popular here. 1t possesses all the
exhiliration and all the advantages OF
dancing and is open to none of its OBJ
jections. The rink is under the man
agement Of a gentleman well known to
many of our leading citizens, who, in
the Inauguration OF this new system oil
exercise, fills void that has long been
in our social amusements. Free, as
this roller skating is, from every de-
moralizing influence or tendency, 1t
affords the most healthful and graceful
exercise. Wherever instituted it has
received the patronage Of the clergy, Of
the medical profession ard of gentle
men OF the highest standing and re
spectability, who have urged upon their
wives and daughters to join with them
in the invigorating and health-restoring
amusement. "a.
One of the regular assemblies takes
place tonight from eight to ten o'clock
and we would advise all who have not
yet visited the rink to 60 and see with
what ease and grace one can glide over
the floor on roller skates.

SIXTH STREET BRIDGE.-We do seri'
ously hope the City Council will tonight
take hold Of the matter of tearing down
or repairing the foot bridge over the
creek at the foot Of Sixth street. That
it is dangerous every person who has
seen it admits. One of the cables is so
far rusted off that it is held by but a
few strands. The question Of who owns
the bridge is not now in dispute. The
question is shall the city have it re-
moved as nuisance. The question of
ownership can be decided BY the city
building wooden truss bridge across
the creek at the point indicated, with
out delay. Remove the wire bridge,
gentlemen, without delay, or you may
have to pay damages enough to build
two new ones.

A BIG ExcIrEMENT.-The opening Of
the new Dollar Store at 112, Main
street yesterday was the cause Of big
excitement, and in a few moments after
the opening of the store was crowded
with visitors. The fine display OF
.Chromos, Silver Plated Ware, Watches,
Cutlery, Fancy Goods and other articles
was in itself sufficient to cause a
sensation, but when was added to
this the fact that you could get any
thing from box Of perfumery to q
hunting case American lever watch,
for one dollar there can be no wonder
at the excitement caused. The plan is
this: You buy card photograph
ofsome noted parsonage for twenty
five cents. On the back of this photo.
graph is printed the number of the class
from which you are entitled to select an
article, for which you pay one dollar.
The numbers OF the different classes and
the articles belonging to each are print
ted on sort of programme, so that the
purchaser can select the article he may
wish from the class in which he has
drawn. He is not obliged to take
any article that does not suit him and,
of course, does not pay for it if he does
not take it. But the best way is to 60
and see the plan for yourselves. You
can understand it better by seeing than
by any description we could give. The
display Of pictures is very fine and it
will pay to examine them if you do not
purchase.

RIVER NBws.-The river is in very
navigable condition for ducks, small
boys and other water fowl, but there is
hardly enough water for a steamboat.
When the pier marks show three
feet scant in the channel, steamboat
men may as well hang up their hats
and pray for rain.
The Argosy is advertised to leave for
Cincinnati this afternoon at three

very heavy draught.
Capt. Charley Muhleman informs
the Cincinnati Enquirer's river reported
that the repairs to the Major Ander-
son are all completed with the exceP
ton of the painting, and that is about
done. The Captain says she is as good
as new. She draws four inches less
water now than before going to the
docks. Her hull is nearly new,
The Winona Republican tells q pretty
good Joke on the steamer Gault. She
was going down few days ago with
four barees, all loaded, but drawing
less water than the steamer, when sud-
denly in passing a hard bar some
where down stream-no matter where
the Gault struck the ground. Every
line snapped, and the bardges went
shooting ahead on an independent trip
leaving the Gault astonished at her
loss. An anchor was lowered in the
yawl, and after a while the fleet of
barges was safely tied up. The Gault
got off soon afterward, and went on her
way rejoicing.
The Evansville Journal OF Saturday
says
As the Palestine was about TO cross
French Island bar she found the Mary
Miller lying on one side Of the channel
and her barge on the other, with line
across the channel connecting the two
and obstructing the channel. Captain
Triplett, as we are informed, asked that
the line be slackenad up, that he might
pass through. The request being re-
fused, he came ahead and had the line
cut. This act will probably lead to lit.
igation, and the question will be decided
whether boat has a right to obstruct
and delay the United States mail, or
even a common passenger and freig int
steamer, by stretching a line across the
channel, and also the question
whether or not the steamer thus OBJ
structing the United States mail is not
liable for damages. The pilots Of the
Arkansas Belle report the lower end Of
the Ohio as falling very fast, with only
about four feet on the Grand Chain,
rendering navigation at the point not
only difficult but dangerous.

POLICE CoURT.-As we moved in

the surface indications were good for a

didn't pan out worth cent, though:
John Hill was found on Saturday
night in the neighborhood of the Sec
ond Ward market, soaked through and
through. John brought into court with
him beautiful black eye, that he pick
ed up somewhere during his Saturday
peregrinations. He was fined 81 and
costs or ten days.
VIM. Lippiucott preferred a charge
against George Fricker, that he, the
said George, had behaved in very die.
orderly manner towards him, the said
William, on Sunday, July Both. The
evidence was, in effect, that William
was the aggressor, and George was dis
charged and William was required to
pay the costs.
Hugh Cabin was behaving in very
disorderly manner, betweea 9 and 10
o'clock on Sunday night, in the neigh
borhood OF the Grant House. One
dollar and costs or ten days was the
price of it.
On Sunday evening man named
Mahoney, as is alleged, pulled off John
Shanley's hat and threw it into the
street. A while afterwards, while Ma
honey was sitting on the board pile
near Hubbard's saw mill, Stanley came
along and slapped Mahoney in the face
and kicked him. Five dollars and
costs or fifteen days was the price OF it.
