Insanity and Tobacco.

According to the statements of DR.. Rubio.
the number of lunatics is much greater in the
northern countries, where the consumption
of spirituous liquors and the use of tobacco
are much greater than in southern countries,
where the people are very sober and small
smokers. According to Moreau, not single
case of general paralysis is seen in Asia Minor
where there is no abuse of alcoholic liquor,
and where they smoke kind of tobacco
which is almost free from nicotine or the
peculiar poison in tobacco. On the other
hand, insanity is frightfully increasing in
Europe, just in proportion to the increase in
the use of tobacco. 1t is, however, to the
young that the evil of smoking is likely to be
the most disastrous. Whatever benefit may
be derived from smoking in maturity and old
age, it is obvious that the young cannot need
the fictitious aid of n narcotic. Parents should
look to this, and prevent the most deplorable
physical or moral consequence of this habit
to their children. Many young man dates
the ruin of his health back to the first whiff
of tobacco, which, by dint of nauseating
practice, he was at length able to smoke, in
the foolish imitation of manhood. That
smoking must iniure the digestion and impair
the nervous system of the young, seems GER
tain, and that it may lead to drunkenness or
excess in drink is more than probable, from
the thirst it necessarily occasions. .- ..

A Colorado Character,
Jim Whitlatch,si luck-The Good aud
had of ID.

The Denver Ne,cs, of recent date, has the
following in reference to our former towns
man, James w. Whitlatch:
81 Here is the case of Jim Whitlatch, who
used to be called the Quartz King of Mon
tnna. Jim was among the fifty-niners
who halted by the holy waters of Cherry
creek. He was then not out of his teens
Like many others, who had the advantage of
being older and stronger, he had travelled
hard road from the Missouri hither, though
he fought the privations manfnlly. Other
men prospered, and scores got riches, but
Jim plodded on in poverty. He seemed to
take naturally to yissitudinous kind of life.
Finally, his star OF luck got into the ascend
ancy, and his sand and gravel claim, up by
Idaho, yielded him bushel of nuggets, and
he bought a stage ticket to Nevada Jinlfs
bark ran ON the high tide Of luck over there
He prospected and mined, and, like old king
Midas, or Midas of old, everything he hand
led turned to gold. 1t was he who discovered
the Yankee Blade the .sWhitlatch Union,'
and half dozen other equally celebrated
mines. Somehow or other, though honor
ably, he amassed a fortune of 500, 900. But,
alas. it takes strong man to hold small
fortune, and Jim's grip wasn't equal to the
emergency. At any rate, he saw his last dol
lar-never SO highly priced as the first one
vanish from his clutch. stii7s
-''Then Jim beto0k himself, by bull-team}
express, to Montana, and gradually gravitated
to Helena, whence he started on a prospecting
tour. Luck was with him again. He dis
covered and christened the Whialatch lode
by all odds the richest gold lead in the Terri
tory. Thence forward he travelled ON mp hill
trail to fortune. He visited New York, ban
quoted the Wall street capitalists, organizeda
company with million or two Of funds,
and returned home, a wiser and happier, as
well as weather. man. Jim was substan-
tally, not specifically successful, and he was
commonly regarded as a millionaire. But
year or two ago his fortune began to 60 to
pieces. The rest is easily told. Perhaps, it
was with him as Josh Billings thinks it al
ways is with men on the downward road.
Perhaps, every one gave him kick.
''Last week, ii may have been the week
before, Jim plodded out of Salt Lake, in
southwark direction, ON prospecting march.
He is poorer, if anything, now, than the
poorest of US. Jim is an estimable, amiable,
and faithful man. Modest and retiring in his
habits, warm and affectionate in his feelings,
just and honorable in all his relations he has
managed, in most localities where he resided,
to -'bind to MIN with hooks of steel all who
knew him. !" @l5 4 a

A Sensible Young Lady.

The life of Dr. Raffies of Liverpool has the
following:
A young lady, the daughter of the owner
of the house, was addressed by man who,
though agreeable to her, was disliked by her
father. Of course he would not consent to
their union, and she determined to elope.
The night was fixed, the hour came. he placed
the ladder to the window, and in a few mo-
ments she was in his arms. They mounted
double horse, and were soon at some distance
from the house After while the lady broke
silence by saying: ''Well, you see what
proof have given you of my affection;
hope you will make me good husband"
He was surley fellow, and grufy answered,
perhaps may, and perhaps not" She
made no reply, bnt after silence of some
minutes she suddenly exclaimed, ssOh, what
shall we do? have left my money behind
me in myroom!' "Then," said he, tive must
go back and fetch it." They were soon again
at the house, and the ladder was again placed,
the lady remounted, while the ill-natured
lover waited below. But she delayedto come,
and SO he gently called "Are you coming 2"
When she looked out of the window and said,
"Perhaps / may, and perhaps not;" and then
shut down the window, and left him to return
upon the double horse alone.

moran,s Painting of the Yellowstone

MOran's Painting of the Yellowstone
szE-::aEzas Canyon. kSasES Rsezass.Ks
The New York Post has the following
notice of Thomas Moran's painting of ''The
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone" now on
exhibition in that city:
This picture is a literal transcript from ma
ture, the artist having given in detail the
strongly marked and stupendous features of
the canyon, its rocky formation and local
color. In perfecting his studies for this
work, Which is of grand size, Mr.. Moran
spent the greater part of the last season, and
into the imposing form now presented to the
public. The view as given is taken from
high point about two miles below the great
falls of the Yellowstone river. These falls
are upwards of 450 feet in height, and on
either hand are walls of rock rising 1000
feet above the water. Along these walls of
rock which encompass the river, rising jets
of vapor indicate the presence of the Gey-
sers, and, again in the distance, upon the
plateau which bounds the river, the ''Great
Geysers" give more emphatic suggestion of
their power. Forests of pine fringe the banks
of the river and plateau, and in the fore
ground the sage-brush forms the only vegeta-
ton. This canyon of the Yellowstone is
about thirty miles in length, and while in this
view the artist gives only section of two
miles, he has yet selected its grandest point
of sight. The formation of the cliffs, being
of species of limestone decomposing under
the influence of the atmosphere, presents a
very singular appearance. On the right the
cliffs, rising in the form of ruined domes and
spires, have assumed deep golden color,
and the decomposing rock, in the form of
calcareous sand, appears like cataract of
meltcn gold running down the mountain side
On\the left the rocks appear of different
formation, and have assumed the color of the
sage-brush, under the effect of reflected light
which grows in their creyices. Huge pines
rising here show the nature of the timber.
The first view of the picture causes feeling
of disappointment, owing to its extreme bril-
lancy of color, but after few moments OF
study the composition is felt to be in harmony
throughout; the gorgeous tones of the fore
ground blend in subtle gradations with the
| receding colors, which lead off into the per.
spective, and are in effect refined and beauti.
| ful. The picture is carefully painted, and,
what is remarkable in so large work, it will
bear a close examination. The structure,
texture and character of the rocky formation
| of these remarkable cliffs are most vividly
rendered, and the artist is to be congratulated
| on the success of his work. aF aa .1t.

Gen. HaNley Clearly Defines his Pc.

From the Hartford Courant, May Id.
The New York Tribune inf1icts upon Gen.
Hawley an offensive eulogy, which credits him
with honor and conscience, but impertinently
assumes to pass judgment upon his most se-
cret heart, and charges him with violating his
own sense of duty by staying away from
Cincinnati. The Courdafs comments upon
the Cincinnati Convention cannot have left
any daily reader in doubt. But that the Ifi-
bune may not misapprehend us the Courant
says that it never had any sympathy with the
Cincinnati movement, believing the whole
theory wrong. 1t honors many of the men
there. knowing them to be high-minded pat
riotic men in search of the public good. II
believes that all such came grievously away

most corrupt National Convention that ever
assembled in this country, and upon the evi-
dence of the best men in the Convention: /:

Brown to have been the result of the most
shameless political bargain made in many a
year, unless the Ferry coalition can compete
with 1t. Further and finally, 1t believes that
Horace Greeley is the only man of great abil-
tiles and national reputation who is totally
unfit for the Presidency. Ills election would

FOUR ACES THAT DIDN'T WIN.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle. a.1 Esq
Two young and enterprising Portlanders
recently visited Walla Wall, and-didn't make
cent. They had been taking lessons in that
game which All Sin didn't understand, and
concluded they knew how it was themselves,
and made a trip up the river for the purpose
of raking in afew dollars. Now these young
gentlemen were not gamblers, and although
they proposed to play the game to win, would
have felt highly insulted if any one would
have charged them with desire to play un-
fair or cheat in the least degree
For several days after their arrival in Walla
Walla they loitered around the hotel, played
'freeZe out and ''sich'' for something to
drink, and even went so far as to play little
''bean poker. They were biding their time,
and waited for an opportunity, and it finally
came
One evening last week party of gentle
men who never play forgreat stakes, but who
sometimes indulge in poker for pastime, as
sembled in one of the hotels and began play
ing. Our youthful Portland friends heard of
the game and took measures to secure hand.
They were soon gratified beyond measure by
being invited to join in the play, and took
seats at the table and commenced chipping in
quite lively. III
The game proceeded, and luck seemed to
favor the young strangers, who were joyous
over the fact that they were already some
5000 ahead of the game. .,tf, ...5. ..--..... frt
One of the players was Judge Blanck, a
man who dearly loves a game of ''draw,"
and who knows about as many points in the
game as ''any otherman," be he professional
or common player. The Judge soon detected
the young men from the 'Bg Willanlet"
playing roots, and took means to head them
off, but how he did it we don't know. He
called for new deck of cards, and after
while was made happy by having three kings
and pair of duces dealt to him. Of course
he ''chIpped" in. One of the Portlanders--
the one who had dealt the cards--raised him,
and betting became lively until some 81 600
were ON the table, when ''call'' was made.
The Judge displayed his full hand and reachd
for the money ~
"Hold on, cried the Portland youth, ''Tve
got four aces and king" and he went for
the coin -a.-. ..-. s- ...
''Dont be too fast" responded the judge,
81 guess I'll take the money, for we don't let
a man play six cards up here" and he showed
his finger upon an ace, and 10 and behold! it
separated from a ten-spot with snap as if it
had been held by bit of wax.
The Judge raked in the money, and the
young man from Portland quit playing, say
ing as he did so. "Theres cheating going
on around the table. u
The young men are puzzled to know how

Thoughts ON Journalism.

fFrom the Nationl
Nobody win assert that a newspaper should
never assail mans character. To lay down
any such rule would be to deprive the press
of three-fourths of its usefulness, and give a
large body of knaves all but complete impu-
nifty. Nor should an editor be required to
know personally the facts of every charge he
makes. If every editor had to satisfy himself
of the truth of everything he published,
newspapers would cease to appear Nor is
he bound to give the name of every man who
crlticises the opinion or public career of public
men. IT makes no difference to anybody who
writes the comments which appear in news
paper on facts of general notoriety. The
question in this case is not from whom do
these comments come, but, are they sound
But when an editor determines, for reasons
of public policy, to denonnce any man as q
thief, or embezzler, or forger, or peculator,
we believe the generally accepted and sound
rule is that he should be ready to produce eyi-
dence of the truth of what he says, whenever
called on by the accused person, before any
tribunal whatever, libel suit or no libel suit.
He is bound to show the documents on which
he based his assertions, or produce the person
whose word he trusted when he made them.
Anybody who asks an editor to allow him to
make charges of this kind in his paper, but
refuses to come forward in support of them,
III calleu upon, Is unworthy Oh Delei, anu ue-
serves no more pity, shelter, or connivance
than any lurking assassin or sneak thief.
Skulking patriots, who are anxious to make
''exposures" of private character, but unwil-
ling to shoulder the responsibility of them,
are very large class. Every editor is famil-
lar with them, but we believe il is the general
practice of editors to refuse them hearing.

rIosby and the Presidents.

A Washington correspondent of the New
York Times gives the following account of
an interview with Colonel Mosby, the ex-
rebel guerilla, after his late meeting with
President grant. A friend called upon the
Colonel, when the following conversation
ensued
Friend Well, how do you like President
Grant?
Mosby.--Oh, he is very plain. One don't
feel small in his presence; you don't feel
that awe or reverence one has when ushered
into the presence of General Lee. was very
much pleased with Grant and my reception.
Friend.-How is the issue down your way
Moshy.-Well, think it hest to go for
Grant James Barbour is for him; General
Paine and one or two other ex-Confederate
Generals are for him.
Friend.-How is it with your friend Gov
ernor Smith-"Extra Billy?"
Mosby-Oh, he is for Horace
Friend.-Well. what is your opinion of the
political situation?
Mosby. IL think it would be to the interest
of the Southern people to go for Grant than a
dried up vegetable like Uncle Horace He is
q free loveist, an agrarian, Fourierite, and
if elected might have Susan Anthony or Lucy
Stone in his Cabinet. Grant could benefit the
South more than Greeley, because he would
have the power in and out of Congress to do
positive acts of friendship for them, whereas
Greeley could not.
Mosby was of the opinion that Grant may
secure the votes of the Southern people il
they are convinced that they are no longer to
be subjected to persecution, but shall have an
equal voice in the Government, and that the
policy of his administration will be to restore
kindly relations between the sections He
says: II think the election will give General
Grant an opportunity of making friends with
the Southern people, and the Southern people
an opportunity of making friend of Grant
in other words, if he is for amnesty to us
tween the North and South had been settled
by the constitutional amendments, and he
(lfosby) would not be the one to roll away
the stone from the sepulchre where they had
been buried.
