ORIGIN OF THE CIGAR.-The first account
we have of the cigar is in the works of Ma
varrette and Las Casas, and is quoted by
Irving. In describing the frst voyage of
Colum bus he says: They beheld several
of the natives going about with fire brands
in their hands and certain dried herbs which
they rolled up in leaf, and, lighting one
end, put the other in their mouths, and con-
tinued inhaling and putting out the smoke.
A roll of this kind they called Tobacco, a
name since transferred to the plant of which
the rolls were made, though that is the
name by which the cigar is to-day known in
Cuba. Oviedo speaks of it History Gener-
al de las Indians as among the evil Gus
toms of the Indians of Cuba. very perni-
cious and producing insensihility. Their
mode of smoking was by inhalation through
the nostrils by means of a hollow torked
cane, the forked ends being inserted in the
nostrils; the other end applied to the burn
ing leaves of the plant

Wrapped in its selfshness and devoted
to its pleasures, little does society know of
the troubles which weigh down the spirits
of its inembers-litte does it know the
many hearts which never feel q ray of sun
shine, or of the gloom which thickens around
some fair form until hands white and soft
obey the suicides will. Yet amid the giddy
throng, there is many a heavy heart, many
a fainting spirit which has born bravely up
until now-and now despairs Nearly all
go unknown, uhpitied, their sad story un-
told. But ike straws upon the ocean in
long time few scraps of heart history will
drift to US

THE MUSIC OF THE SEA.

The gray, unresting sea,
Adown the bright and melting shore,
Breaking in untold memory,
Makes music evermOre.
Like as in clustering piles,
Rich bursts of massive sounds upswelI
Ringing along dim-lighted aisies,
With spirit-trancirg spell.
So on the surf-white strand,
Chants of deep peal the sea-waTc5 raise,
Like voices from a viegless land,
Hymning hymn of praise.
-
By times in thunder notes,
The blooming biIIows shoreward surge;
By times silver laugh it floats;
By times low. soft dirge.
Men change, and .scease to be-
And Empires rise, and grow, and fall,
But the weird music of the sea
Lives and outIiyes them all.
The mystic song shall last
Till time itself no more shall be;
Till seas and shores have pass'd
Lost in eternity.

THAT CADETsuIP ExAMINATIoN.-We
publish this morning, in another column,
a communication from Mr.. William
p. Smytb, one of the unsuccessful sppli-
cants for the cadetship offered by Col.
Crebs, NJ. c.. to the young man Of his dis.
trict who could stand tho best EXAMINE alton
before q board of examiners named by
himself The public who do not know the
young gentleman may believe that his
complaints have grown out Of disappoint.
ment, but we know this to be an unjust
suspicion. He was, undoubtedly, unfairly
treated by the committee, each member Of
which admitted that he stood much bot
ter examination than his successful oppo-
nent. But, it seems, the cards had BET
packed, nothw .thstanding tho professions
of fairness made, and Cochrane was pre-
fsrred in despite Of the admitted fact that
in the examination he fell far short of
young Smyth. This may DO all right, but
we cannot teach ourself to sec it in that
light. One of the objections urged against
Sn.yth was the fact Of his residence in
Cs'-o; and another was, that Cochrane
wanted the appointment and had letter
Of recommendation from Col. Crebs whose
near height ,r he 10. If considerations of
this kind were to have effect, why were
