DESIDERATA IN SMOKING.

According to Dr.. Bertrand, in the
Tribune Medica!e, whatever be The
mode of smoking, direct contact Of the
tobacco with the ''mucus buccalis"-
mucous lining of the cheeks-and the
teeth must be avoided; cigars should be
smoked in an amber, ivory, or enameled
porcelain mouthplece; to smoke, by re-
lighting them, portions OF cigars that
have been extingulshed, together with
the system oil biackened and juicy pipes,
must be avoided, as it is the surest way
OF being affected by nicotine; every
smoker would do well, if practicable, to
rinse his mouth after smoking, ana IL
would be well to subject pipes and
bowls in which to bacco has been burned
to frequent washings either with ether
or win water mixed with alcohol or
with vinegar. The cigarette is prefer
able, by reason Of Its slight quantltative
Importance, and the paper which inter
ieres with the contact OF its contents
with the buccal mucous membrane; but
to realize all the deslderata in this case
it would be necessary to have the
"papellto" made OF fax thread, and to
abstain from The practice-which has
become SO universal-of retaiuIng the
aspiration at the back of the mouth, SO
as to pour it out, of the nostrils after

EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE OF A
DoG.-A Western journal, not TO he out
done in dog stories, relates the follow
ing: ..r. tr.rN
A few mornings ago Thomas Trees,
son OF Levi Trees, OF COnemaugA HDwn-
ship, went down the creek from his faith
er's house to examine some traps he had
set. While Inspecting the traps he hear d
his dog making an unusual noise some
distance below him. On going to the
dog he lound him lying on the ground,
and partridges sticking out all around
his body. The dog had found flock,
and allghting in their midst, had pun
ioned ten; but when he rose up eight OF
them escaped, he still holding two with
his paws. thomas secured the two par
tridges-the others all escaping. This
is an extraordinary feat for a dog, and
only needed a word from the young man
to have secured the whole of the birds
originally captured by the dog.

some mysterious manner managed to form the
acquaintance OF several of the fair sex, anu
with Their assistance mace arrangements to

Of which Mr.. Mccullough was unani-
mously elected floor manager. Early
on Monday evening he was seen
going up street to escort his lady TO the boat,
but it seems upon arriving at the house they
became so deeply interested in a game Of
