Some OF our contemporaries find it hard even
yet to believe in the genuineness Of the Herald's
African correspondence. The letter OF DR..
Livingstone to Mr.. Bennett does not remove
their distrust, but seems rather to increase it.
Everybody's first impulse is apparently TO in
quire if that letter can possibly be genuine. That
there are some reasons for suspicion is manifest,
the most obvious one is that as yet we have
no information that any dispatches from
Livingstone have been received by the Brit
ish government Or his friends in England,
and it is incredible that he should not

A MARYLANp RErunI1oAN or 80.

THE BETEL NUT.-There is fascination in
the betel nut more extraordinary than in a
tobacco passion. The consumption of the latter
in chewing alone in the United States, is Il
modern phenomenon. An inveterate chewer
may have moral resolution enough to break off
the habit, though it rarely happens that an
effort is made to do so, as an apology is found
for continuing practice that is positively de-
stroying the foundation Of health. Once adj
dicted to chewing tobacco, to aDan ion it is an
achievement few have the happiness to over
come, Notwithstanding the melancholy mortality
of men in the meridian Of life who are constantly
being destroyed by the subtle influence of that
strange plant on the nervous system. Thus,
sudden palsy Of the heart, palsy Of limb, palsy
of one-half of the tongue, and even inStanta-
ncous death, are traCeable by physicians to ex-
cessive use of tobacco.
But the vice of betel nut chewing, however, is
still more remarkable. When the habit is estab-
liShed, there seems no retreat. Each victim wears
out his teeth, gums, digestion, and dies with an
unsatisfed longing for another quid. Betel nut
trees thrive in most parts of tropical India the
Indian archipelago and the PHILIPPINE islands.
They grow up gracefully about thirty feet, rare
ly more than eight inches in diameter. 1t is a
areea Yatecha. Penang is the universal name of
the nut in these places where it is produced,
hence pulo penang means betel nut island. AT
SIX years of age the tree commences bearing
nuts the size of small pullers egg, of a bright
y
cocoanut; within is spherical nut, very much
like nutmeg. Broken, bit of it is wrapped
up with piece Of unslaked lime IN peculiar
leaf, the siri betel-piper, extensively cultivated
for that purpose.
The gums and mucous membranes of the
mouth are quickly stained a brick red the teeth
crumbe to level with the gums, and in that
condition an inveterate betel chewer is wretched
without supply. There are large plantations
OF betel nut trees in Java to meet the demand
for home consumption and distant provinces.
To augment the pleasure, those who can afford
it add tobacco to the lime. A morbid craving
for either betel nut or tobacco are sources OF
immense revenue to many governments. Neither
reasoning nor appeals to the intelligence OF
chewers, who are shortening their days by an
excessive indulgence, have ever had the slightest
influence in convincing them that they we re
violating law of organic lite. Science fails to
explain the cause of our intense morbid craving
for vegetable narcotics so potent as tobacco and
betel nuts-YelC York Nail

writer in the Cincinnati Gazette says: 'Tf
there were no other reason for preferring the re-
publican ticket to the democratic hybrid ticket,
the difference between Henry Wilson and Gratz
Brown would be enough 10 decide any honest
man." We can not understand how any honest
man can be willing to see Gratz Brown made
vice president with the possibility of becoming
president. In mind and character he is wholly
unfit for the position; his personal habits are
notorious; wherever he goes, he is sure to make
some display of the disgraceful conduct indi-
Gated by the recent talk of bis cherries" his
"soft crabs" and his mysterious attacks of
Inconsistencies" Henry Wilson is eminently
fit for the vice presidency and for all the
possibilities Of that position. But think
moment of having Gratz Brown elected to
that office! Three times within the space of
twenty-five years the elected vice president has
become president; and in each case the change
was bad enough; but consider seriously what it
would be TO have this Gratz Brown made presi-
dent. The election of Greeley would be tear
full disaster to the country; Gratz Brown would
be the next thing to destruction. The right to
vote must be lawless and reckless, if it involves
right TO inhct upon the country such a man
as Graft Brown.
