AN ITEM FOR SMOKERS is stated
the opposition of the cigar manufactur-
ers to the adoption of the new cigar
stamp box, which the commissioner of
internal revenue has submitted for ex-
animation, does not rise solely from the
fact that the box is patented. One of
the strongest argument urged against
the box at the time it was examined
here, was that the manufacturers could
not take the cigars out of the box and
put them in another box bearing diff
ferent brand. 1t appears to be one of
most profitable tricks of the trade to sell
the same quality of cigars to custermers
under different brands, and to shift
them from one box to another, according
to the character of the orders and the
condition of the stock. These practices
the adoption of these boxes, it is said,
would abolish, for the reason that the
cigars could not be changed to a differ
ent box after the stamp and brand had
been once affixed.

Physiology of a Sponge.

If we take morsel of toilet-sponge,
and put it under a microscope of mOder-
arte DO yer, we find that it is made up
of a mass of complicated network.
There is more or less regularity in the
meshes and these are found of various
patterns in the different species. This
heap or mass of network, commonly
called sponge, is really the skeleton
of the sponge. When living it is COW
cred with, or literally embedded in, a
glairy, gelatinous, or albuminous sub
stance. But this is so unlike ordinary
animal tissue, for it seems, really, tissue
less, that it has received the technical
name SarcOde. This sarcode fills the
meshes above mentioned /; and is held
in place by innumerable tiny spicules,
mixed in, so to speak, like the hair in
the mortar of the plasterer. So little
consistency has this sarcode, or sponge
flesh, that but for this natural felting it
would dissolve and flow away. Now.
take an ordinary sponge into the hand.
We obserAe several large apertures, at
or toward the top. These are called
the oscula. They are the exhalant
vents of the entire system. At these
openings is expelled, with some force,
the water JlaG mas D66n TAKEN luJO ble
living mass, and deprived of its nour-
ishment. But how is the water brought
in through that glairy sarcode? Be.
sides the oscula, which are few, and
readily seen, even in the skeleton, they
are innumerable tiny inlets known as
pores. These are not visible in the
skeleton, as they really belong to the
sponge-fesh. These pores open into
the meshes, and enter directly certain
little cavities, or chambers, that stand
connected with circuitous passages,
which finally lead to the large outlets,
or oscula. The pores are very small,
and yet, compared with the cells, are
very large The little chamber into
which the pore opens has its walls built
up with these uniciliated cells. Now,
if we could only peep into the privacy
of that chamber, with its walls of living
stones, without making any disturbance,
we should find every cell lashing it's
cilium with great vigor, and all in such
harmony of accord, that it would seem
like

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.--The sere-
made to Ex-President Johnson has
been deferred by his own request,
but will probably come off on Satur-
day evening next. He has been re-
quested by a number of leading bust
ness men, including at least one
prominent Radical official. to present
his views upon the present distracted
political and financial condition cof
affairs; and it is probable that he
will enter upon some general discus
sion of the causes of the present
troubles, bringing in the topics of the
day, the panic and banks, the trans
portation question, the Credit Mo.
bilier and other rings. The Sec
rotary of the navy has been request
edfto allow the Marine Band to give
the serenade, and it is supposed that
he will do so, as, he gave the same
permission lately in the case of a
ring official. The EXPRESSIONS is
naturally somewhat grave and con-
.cerncd touching the prospect Of get
ting back his large deposit in the
First National Bank.
Ex-President Johnson has made
affidavit to his claim for $4,000
against the First National Bank.
