EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Seeing the theory advanced by your Con.
necticut correspondent az to the uncon-
cious inspiration of Times writer, have
thought it may be useful to those who are
discussing the theory to furnish them with
an original specimen of Times script rec
ord from . file of some two years since.
Here it is:
One Of the conspicuous merits of the fire
organization Of this city has been the uni
form manifestation of Q progressive and
practicable spirit, and Q versatile aptit ude
Of mind, which would not allow esprit de
crops and tenacity of old form and co ndi-
tons Of fraternity to stand in the wa of
increasing efficiency by the adoption of i'm
proved methods Of utility.
The authenticity of this extract is I'M
doubted. It shows the native and normal
perspicuity of statement and ratiocination
which distinguishes your contemporary
when undisturbed by outside psychological
influences. 1t 10 not for me to attempt com.
mentary upon the structure of the sentence
quoted, far less to infer what it can possibly
mean. 1t undoubtedly shows very diff.
ferent style Of thought from that coinci-
dent with the CormhiH Magazine, and rem
ders the theory attributed to Mrs. E.
Hardridge possible. SCEPTlC.

Why MOa SmOko.

No habit adopted by . whole race Of
men-indeed by all races of men-but
must have ratson detre. The dhadeeR
of the Irishman, the chibOuk Of tho Asiat-
ic, the calumet Of the Indian, the Cigar Of
the white American. would not exist stimuli
taneously on every part Of the globe, if in
the use Of tobacco there did not slumber
some spell of great potency over men. Tho
lazy man it seems to mako lazior; the mar
vous man it makes more nervous; the
brain.worker it inspires, and ON the artist
it bestows visions Of beauty. All lecturing
against it has proved vain. The habit
spreads with population over Australia
and Polynesia. and in . couple Of centuries
from now smoking will be - universal -
eating.
II behooves Us, then, to see that something
is done to insure the rehabilitation of the
better qualities of tobacco, which seem de-
terioratlng 90 fast. Manila is ceasing to
produce even q decent cheroot, tobacco
culture dying out there like vine culture
in Madeira One thing is certain, that the
substitution Of the cigarette for the cigar il
exceedingly dangerous.

DIED AT Hrs POSTAL that was mortal
of Thomas Isabelle will to-day be consigned
to the tender keeping of mother earth. The
history Of the deceased has been an event
full one. A native of the Attskapas coun'
try. q free man OF color, the war found him
q skillful mechanic. possessed of independ-
ant means. He commanded company of
colored troops in Buffers Native Guards,
and bore the name Of being an excellent
officer. He was member of the Constitu'
tional Convention of 1868 from the First
District of Orleans, and after the orgsniza-
ton of the State government Hereunder,
Governor Warmoth appointed him . mem
Der of the Board of Metropolitan Police
Commissioners, which place he filed until
1873. Although an earnest and sincere Re.
publican, his personal attachment to Gov
ernor Warmoth induced him tn follow his
friend into the labyrinths Of Fusion politics,
and he served a. chairman of what was
subsequently known - the DeFeriet Re-
turning Board of 1872.
Although the Democrats obtained and
held control of the municipal government,
but little care was taken Of Isabelle, and
he was forced to eat the dry crusts of PEN
ury. Only . few weeks ago Administrator
Burke took into consideration his necessi-
ties, and appointed him q night Waterman
on one OF the city dredgeboats in the
ewamps behind the city. He attended
faithfully to his duties till few days ago,
when he was attacked with malarial fever,
and at two O'Clock yesterday morning he
died on board oe his dredgeboat.
His funeral will be held to-day from the
residence of his brother, Hon. Robert h.
Isabelle, at No. 2i1 Julia street.
Whatever may be said of the deceased,
his mistakes were never Of the heart. There
was much Of innate chivalry in his DISPOSE
ton; in his darkest hours he never aban-
doned the department of q gentleman.
Those who Knew him well will earnestly
regret that the beating of his generous
haart ia still

One of Tlldeu,s Little Mistakes.

Attention has been directed to the decla'
ration in Mr.. Tlden's letter of acceptance
that the interest ON the public debt Is pay
able in gold. The statutes have been care
fully examined by Senators and Represen'
tatives, and no authority is found by them
for any loan the principal or interest Of
which Is payable exclusively in gold. Coin
is the term used on all occasions. Senator
Sherman, the chairman of the Finance
Committee Who has been zen. consulted, says
the United States to pay in gold, but. on
the contrary, both principal and interest of
ali the bonded indebtedness were originally
made payable in coin. The funding act Of
July, $50, under which the new bonds have
been issued, makes them payable in coin Of
