DYED ClGARs.-The artificial dyeing of cigals
has as yet attracted but little attention among
smokers, and is conducted very quietly and is ap-
parently harmless, yet under all circumstances it
should be condemned. Every artificial change of
a natural product like tobacco, to give it better
appea' ance, shoad OF itself be branded impro-
Der. Then we must take into consideration the
ilct that the natural color of the cover has es-
sential influence upon the strength of the cigar,
and consequently most smokers place great value
on The color. BY artificial coloring, on the con-
tra y, the Judgment is deceived, and it makes il
impossible TO determine the quality of the cigar
from the color of the cover; 70: every dealer now
has it in his power to make splendid dark cigars
from his very light ones without any trouble.
But we have especially to notice that now poor
colored and refuse cigars may acquire fine color
and be sold for good ones. On all these grounds,
dyeing cigars must be ranked adulte, alton
for the purpose of swindling the public. Unfor-
turately no means have yet been devised whereby
the people can distinguish such cigars in all cases
from the genuine All we can do at present is to
call attention to the fact and recommend caution
in the matter.-Sientifc American.

Gss-George William Curtis, editor of Ha'pers'
Weekly each Sunday reads selected sermon 10 his
neighbors on Staten Island, instead of theic hav-
ing the services of regular minister. Mr.. Curtis
selects the best sermons of eminent divines apd
reads them with all the grace with which he is so
peculiarly endowed. The Newark Advertiser
thinks: 'The idea might be well initiated else
where, though it would be difficult to find so inter-
esting reader. There are many small commun-
lies which cannot support a minister capable OF
satisfying the intellectual demands of his audience,
and the people, consequently, either do not attend
church at all or derive little good from the se~v-
ces. A pleasant reader of the many fine sermons
which are published might be able to do an i'm
wense deal of good. The officers of the church
coulu preform the other duties of a pastor, and a
simple, wholesome system of religion is thereby
introduced into a community which otherwise
would suffer from the lack of fit moral food"

OAs SAND Corn SToLEN.-Sone : ne d. ilg Sat-
u day night last about 25 bushels of oats cad
lot of corn was stolen from tie barn OF Dr.. 6. NJ.
Boslev a short distance west Of TowsO1yOwn
The robbery was discovered on Surdag morning
when officer Brown sent for. The tracks OF Il
wagon were plainly visible and these the Officer
followed to the York pike and down the pike to
S.evenson's lane, ABOUT mile and a-half below
Towsoutown and from thence to the house OF
Frank Brady, few hundred yards east of tt e
pike. It was found that the wagon had entered
Brauy's yard and had been turned rounc aod
driven on out Stevensou's lane. Officer E-own
searched Brady's premises and found lot Of GA S,
some of which were scattered about tie ground,
which was dropped in removing it from the wagon.
On this evidence Brady was arrested and lodged in
Jail and Later in the day his son John, aged about
30 yeas, was also arrested and committed be
and his father told contradictory stories about
bow they got the oats, one saying that it had been
there for some time, while the other said it bad
been bought he day before
On following up the wagon tracks after it left
/ Erady's they were traced to Che Hillen road and
up that road to the pike at Willis drug store, anu
f. on thence 10 the top of the hill az Chews SO e.
| where the 10 sc was taken out. The horse hat
;wO shoes off, and this fact aided the officer in fol-
lowing the track. The wagon was Traced 20 ,.
0'COnner's Smile House, and when found had a
| lot of loose oats and corn in The bottom Of the
Jed. search was then instituted for the no sc
and he was found in r. R. Wares stable. The
suppOsiton is that the thieves stole Wares bOrse
and 0'Conners wagon aud ben proceeded to Dr..
Bosey's barn where they got in a load and pro-
ceeded to Erady's, where it was disposed of. No

School TEAcHING.-What is the use of teacher
if he or she does not teach? This is question that
is agitating a good many of our exchanges. A
Virginia paper thinks that to send children home
in the evening with arms full of books and half a
dozen lessons to get out" by themselves, and then
in the morning to hear their '?ecitations" and
score their dement's, il is no teaching at ALL "The
pupil should be taught low to strdy and how
to think, and this ought to be done in the
school room, aod not at home." where par
euts have as much as they can do 20 attend 10 do
nestle matte and hear thec children ecite what
they have 3een tau yht by their teachers. Iihear-
inS rectations is all teacher has to do, then be
is no teacher, but merely judge OF the child's
home acqui enents: Another PaP,e,S says "If
opinion, be allowed to omit mo tban half their
dsty by coni mag themselves soe'.v to tie work
