this week and experienced tobac-
con.sts pronounce il equal to the
Kentucky and Middle renRessee
articles. Prom fair computation
made by Mr.. Richards, who is an
old and experienced tobacco raiser
from Montgomery county at
least $3.50 can be made and realiz-
ed from an acre of good land in
our county. While, for several
reasons, we would not now suggest
that our farmers should engage in
the raising OF this staple to the ex-
tent of making it an article of sale
and commerce generally. yet a suf-
J icieptquaBtity should by all means
be raised TO answer and-sapply
home demand and consumption.
There is a yilliapous. u%nconstitu-
tional fesieral embargo placed upon
the sale of tobacco, compelling, un.
der heavy penalties the producer
to sell the raw material to the
bonded manufacturer in order that
he may realize two thirds of tn,
profits of its production, yet thu
raising of it for individual pur
poses is not interfered with. Thi.
federal law, designed for a siniste
purpose, may in the end operat'
for good, by forcing this cultur,
for home use. In fact this is part
ly the cause, though not general,
known, of the present increase O
the tobacco yield in our county
! this season.. Carefully prepares
statistics show that at least $751; 90
will be saved to our people from

around the rim of the pie. Wet
the cloth and put it around the pie
IN such away that it will lap q lit
tie ON the plate beneath and a lit
tie on the ernst above, covering the
part where the upper and lower
crust comes together.
Best APPLE PIE.-Take a deep
dish, the size of a soup plate, fill
it heaping with peeled tart apples,
cored and quartered; pour over ii
one teacup of molasses, and three
greatspoonfuls of sugar, dredge

a crust, made of cream, if yor
have it; if not, common dough

Something Not on the Bills.


A man who was either a monomaniae,
or an enthusiast worthy to be regarded
as such, aroused a considerable excite
ment and furnished n fruitful theme of
conversation at the theater last evening.
The orchestra were Just taking their
seats at the museum when a man, ap-
parently about forty years of age, we'll
dressed and of intelligent appearance,
arose in the center of the balcony and
said in a clear voice: " Ladies and
gentlemen: Before the entertainment
commences this evening, 1 should like
to tell you that unless you change your
way of living and follow in the steps of
Jesus Christ instead of wasting your
lives in theaters, you will all certainly
go to hell" The audience was at
first so astonished that there was a
momentaly silence, which was followed
by mingled applause and misses, and
the man was pat out by the ushers
without a show of resistance and ap-
parently any desire to stay. He then
went directly to the Boston Theater,
and the curtain had Just risen when he
arose again in the centre of the balcony
and said: Ladies and gentlemen, 1
am sent here to interrupt, this per
formance by the Lord Jesus Christ.
warn you OF your Danger. ana again
he was ushered out and down stairs.
The only remark he made as the ushers
took him was, Don't hurt me" Off
Ger McCabe took him to the station,
and as he did so he was asked why he
did it, and he replied that he stood up
as he did because it was his duty, and
when he was told ne had no business to
interrupt the performance, he replied,
81 do not.wish this to be made matter
of ridicnle. A gentleman at the Boston
Theater said that the same person in
terrupted the performance at the Wall
Street Theater in Philadelphia a year
ago in a similar way.
When taken to Station two by the
officer he gave the name of Andrew
Leslie, formerly of st. Louis, Mo,
and lately a member of the divinity
school at Cambridge. AS he seemed
to be laboring under a temporary in
sanity, DIR. Foye was summoned, and
decided that the temporary illness was
caused by oveT-work. He was accord
ingly cared for and locked up fer the
night, for his own safety merely, as he
was harmless.

sandwich 1slanders in the SUI.

A late number of Appletons' in a
sketch entitled GA Tropical Paradise
gives lively description of surf bath
ing at the Sandwich islands. It is de-
Bcribed as being q most exciting and
interesting pastime, and needing in a
heavy sea immense nerve and skill.
The surf board is a narrow plank from
six to nine feet in length. Legions of
forms, moulded with the 1.-the and sim
nous beauty of classic bronzes, are seen
sporting in the waves like born denizens
of the foam. A party of forty or fifty
with their surf-sliding boards come out
from the dusky throng, and with much
laughing chatter prepare for the fasci-
mating game Of riding astride the
breakers. WadiDg out from rocks on
which the sea is breaking, the islanders
push their boards before them and
swim out to the first line of breakers.
Suddenly they dive down out of sight,
and nothing more is teen of them till
their black heads bob up from the
smooth seas like eorks, half a mile from
shore. Then the fun commences.
Watching for a very high roller, they
leap on from behind, lying face down
wards on their surf-boards. As the
wave speeds on, and its bottom touches
ground, the top curls into a gigantic
cOmber. The swimmers pose themselves
on the highest edge by dextrous move
ment of hand and foot, keeping them
selves on the top of the curl and always
seeming to slide down the fOaming
hillock. So they come on majestically
Just ahead of the breaker, borne shore
ward by its mighty impulse at the rate
of forty miles an hour, yet seeming TO
have a volitiOn Of their owD, for the
more daring riders kneel and even stand
on their surf boards, waving their arms
and uttering exultant cries. Always on
the verge Of engulfment by the fierce
breaker, whose white crest riEes above
them, Just as one expects TO see them
dashed 10 pieces on the rocks they
quietly disappear and emerge again out
at sea, ready for another peril0us race
on their foaming coursers. The great
art seems to be in mounting the breaker
at Just the right time, and TO keep ex-
actly on its end. The leading athletes
are always VOciferously oheeTed by the
spectators, and the presence Of the
elite rarely fails TO stimulate the swim
mers 10 their utmost exertiona. Even
the maidens and old men often join in
this national amusement.
