clearly enough, yesterday. in regard to
tbs appointments OF commissioners in

have been misunderstood in some
quarters, we take occasion to say, that
we thought the bill was Objectionable
because the commissioners were up
pointed by thu General Assembly,
many of whose members were inte-
rested in claims. We did not mean to
intimate that the commissioners them
selves were interested in any claims to
come before them, nor do we believe
they have.

rest of the State that he shall be
strengthened and confirmed in the

accept q Republican administra-

they consider it desirable, ON

promote the public veal, from an
earnest purpose to make the evils Of

upon the people. they work faithfully to

But this very principle Of action which
has moved them all along to stand by

is thrown upon the present question,
or some high considerations be pre-

induce them to stand upon it in oppo-

forts OF the reformers TO restrict and
decrease the use of tobacco, ofi.ial
statistics 60 to show that the consum imp
tion OF the tweed" in this country
makes steady increase. Aside from
the amount consumed on the farm", it
appears. by actual computation, that
in tue United States each 81 hours
reaches the colossal aggregate of

Habits of the Poets,

Ralph Waldo Emerson has been
talking with correspondent of the
Concord Monitor about the habits of
his poetical friends. Holmes" said
he, is so full that he cal write at any
time. Lowell broods over his subject
for time, and then composes with
great swiftness. He does not like to
write to order, though DESTROYS of en-
ploying the stimulous of great occas-
ions. We asked him to read a poem
at Concord on the one hundredth an
niversary of the fight, but he said he
could not. His wife, day or two be-
fore, wrote to me, saying, i can not
speak for James, yet think you may
expect a poem from him on the 18th.
He has been going about for some time
in that peculiar way which is promise
of something and on the 10th Lowell
was on the ground with his poem
and grand one it was. Longfellow
prepares his poems to be read on any
great occasion, as a minister who lives
near Boston prepares his sermon, near
ly year ahead. He wrote the poem
read at Bowdoin College last sum mer
early in the fall of the preceding year,
and it was well he did so, for the
months intervening have been fruitless
as far as literary labor is concerned
owing to physical prostration. He is
happily better now"

Floating.

Men are drowned by raising their

Other animals have neither motion or
ability TO act in similar manner, and
therefore swim naturally. When a
man falls into deep water, he will rise

if he does not elevate his hands. If he
moves his hands under water, in any
way he pleases, his head will rise so
high as to give him free liberty 10
