WHAT TOBACCO IS USED.

There is need for the resuscit-
alton of old king James his blast
against tobacco falls harmless upon the
proclivities Of the sovereign people Of
these United States. From an official es-
innate prepared at the internal revenue
bureau, it appears that there are, in the
United States, 7,7ll,lss consumers Of the
weed. In other words, one out Of every
five in the entire population of this country
chews or smokes. But it appears that in
this estimate the whole temsle population,
and children under fifteen, are stricken
out as they are regarded as non-con'um-
ers, and that it embraces only tobacco and
cigars as being used. The amount conium-
ed of manufactured tobacco, was 9j,OOo,-
900 pounds, or two pounds TO each person
calculating only the actual consumers
each one will have ehewed or smoked
twelve pounds of tobacco during the past
year.

nrprn.-On the evening of May 18th the
EoIal Geographical Society of London dis
,,>s>cd the question Of the movements OF Dr.
Livingstone. The general opinion of the
meeting WAS favorable TO the authenticity
Of the Intelligence concerning Livin%stone's
-al,lv conveyed by the recent telegram from
Alden. based on information from Zanzibar.
Others, however, took a different view, and
while expressing belief in the safety OF DR..
Livingstone had little confidence in the cor
rcclncss Of the dispatch. But the most III
tcre>ting feature of the council was the
quaint and original view of the New York
Heraid'S correspondent taken by the presl-
dent OF The Society, sir Henry Rawilnson.
This gentleman remarked that sit had been
generally Inferred from the intelligence that
Mr. Stanley the correspondent in question:
had discovered and relieved DR.. Livingstone;
but if there had been any discovery and re-
lief it was Or. Livingstone who had discov-
cred and relieved Mr.. Stanley" This, it will
be perceived, puts the matter in an entirely
different light.
