A Man Who Was a Little Crazy AbOut
Tobacco.

A very beautiful character has, it
seems lately, passed away in Holland.
Mr.. Klaes. known by the name of the
King of Smokers, died the other day
near Rotterdam. Mr.. Klaes had, ac-
cording to the Belgian papers, amassed
a large fortune in the linen trade. and
one portion of a mansion he had erect
ed near ROTTERDAM was devoted TO the
arrangement of n collection of pipes,
according to their nationality and chron-
illogical order. By his will, which he
executed shortly before his death, he
directed that all the smokers of the
country should be invited to his funeral,
and that each should be presented with
10 lbs. of tobacco and two Dutch pipes
of the newest fashion, on which should
be engraved the name, arms, and date
of the decease of the testator. His
relatives, friends, and funeral guests
were strictly enjoined to keep their pipes
alight during the funeral ceremony, and
afterwards to empty the ashes from their
pipes on the coffin. The poor of the
neighborhood who attend to his last
wishes were to receive annually on the
the anniversary of his death 10 pounds
OF tobacco and small cask of good
beer. He further directed that his oak
coffin should be lined with the cedar ofhis
old Havana cigar boxes, and that a box
of French caporal and packet of old
Dutch tobacco should be placed at the
foot of his coffin. His favorite pipe was
to be placed by his side, with box of
matches, a flint and steel, and some
tinder-tor, as he truly said, there is no
knowing what might happen. 1t has
been calculated that the deceased gen
tleman, during his eighty years of life,
smoked more than four tons of tobacco
and had drank about 100000 quarts of
beer. 1t is sad to reflect that one evi-
IDENTITY possessed of such noble qualities
should have been thus prematurely cut
off at the early age Of eighty, doubtless
owing to his unfortunate indulgence in
a pernicious habit. His fate should be
warning to ali smokers,

the afternoon. In the face of all this,
h0W, ! ask, is she to refresh her mind
with literature, or go capcring about in
the open air for recreation?n The
hours are few when the farmers wife
of the class under consideration -
has nothing to do;" and then the
physical woman is too utterly weary for
any mental gymnastics or outdoor me-
anderings. Smother beneath this
slaves life any vigorous, finely strung
intellect, and if in ten years she is
taken to lunatic asylum. let nobody
wonder-unless he wonders that she
escaped going mad five years before !
Talk of the "pressure on our public
men! | had rather be President over
thirty-seven United States, each bent
on seeding after its own in dividual
fashion, than live the life of this farm.
ers' wife.
Another thing-perhaps the only
thing-for the greater includes the
lcss-the farmers wife is not loved.
Farmers become as stoical and satur-
nine and undemonstrative as their own
oxen. One may live among them six
years-which is long enough to form a
pretty fair estimate-and never see in
the husband any act of endearment,
selfsacrifice or decent politeness toward
the faded, drudging woman, who not
many years before stepped beaming
and hopeful into his fe-path and wove
her youth and loveliness into crown
for him. The gentleman that by birth
right lives Ike a rare germ in the soul
of "the male of the human species,"
gets crowded out of these men by the
parsleyweed of coarse, unthinking
selfishness. 1t is a shame, which he is
quite incapable of blushing for, that he
exhibits more care for his horses than
for his toiling mate indoors; that he
has for them sometimes kindly pat,
or a CHEEKY word of encouragement;
but never kiss, caress, tender
smile or helpful deed for the heart that
silently starves for want of them.
My light-hearted and lighter headed
poet, who singest of weet-breathed
cows" and all the mythical Joys of a
simple life" in the country, do not be
a farmer! l beseech you to change
your mind! Your fate-so far as you
are concerned-does not trouble me so
very much, but am thinking of your
wife. Let her beware of such farmer,
for his steps take hold on - Bed

How Would You Like Itf

Who would be prince in Afrca-at
least prince of the Wahuma tribe, of
which Captain Speke tells us? 1t may
be very fine thing to be the king, but
to be one of the young princes must be
anything but charming.
You know these savave chiefs usually
have several wives and a good many
children, and it is often matter of
much discussion, and even cause of
bloodshed, to determine which son shall
inherit the power on the death of his
father; but after this point is once set
tied, the one who succeeds to the throne
is generally willing to leave his brothers
to live in peace. In this Wahuma tribe,
however, the heir is chosen by the
wakungu, or council. If he is already
of age, all his brothers, save two, who
are reserved in case of accident to the
reigning prince, are Immediately killed.
This fate, dreadful as it is, does not
seem so terrible to us, however, as the
state of suspense in which the poor
things have to exist when the chosen
heir is under age. In that case the

Furnishing Quackery.

The English are less tolerant of dan
gerous quackery than we are, and in
this, as in many other things, their
courts of law prove themselves to be
places where, as Mr.. Joshua Fullalove
says, "you can get justice, dear but
prime" An English court has just sem
fenced man named Andrews to a
severe punishment for setting up as a
physician on the strength of bogus di-
ploma obtained from that University"
IN Philadelphia which deals so largely
IN those wares; 1t does not appear that
the man did any particularly bad
things in his practice, except to pass off
his ignorant quackery on an unsuspect.
ing people as medical skill, and vet there
was no difficulty before an English court
in securing his conviction and awarding
him well-merited punishment, while
we on this side of the water think we
have accomplished wonders in sending
Rosenzweig to prison for a very brief
term, under all the pressure of the pop
ular excitement incident to the expo-
sure of his murdered victim to the
public eye for many days. Truly. we
need to learn a lesson or two from those
English courts where o crime is ALWAYS
a crime, and where popular clamor is
not necessary to the proper punishment
of criminal.

Fires in the Country.

No sooner has the snow disappeared
and the first hot sun dried the leaves
brush, and dead grass, than we hearand
read of fires more or less destructive
all over the country. Such wanton de
struction of property causes more dam
age than is readily realized, not only to
fences, wood, and buildings, but to
standing timber. For the greater part
these fires are commenced from reckless
mischief alone, or for the purpose o
getting sweeter herbage for the pasture
OF cattle in the woods. With the expe
rlence of last season, it might be sup
posed that some care would be exercised
to prevent the starting of fires another
season, but it seems that those catastro
phes are forgotten.

Builds his nest upon the ground.
