How Cigars Are Made,

MEN grow hobbyish about cigars as
they do about watches, and pictures and
engravings, and other things about
which the imagination associates more
excellences and PROJECTIONS than they
really possess, and find in them flavors
and meanings and sentiments which Or
binary people are not able to discover.
But there is another side to the picture.
fthey understood how cigars are made
in New Y DIRK and other American cities.
Cincinnati, of course, excepted; if they
knew that nine-tenths of their Havanas
are given color and flavor by the art of
the chemist, and that the filings are
often nothing but the refuse of Cuban
tobacco; if they could look into the ten
ement-houseS where the manufacture is
carried on, amid squalor and disease,
into rooms where families are crowded,
and cooking, washing, ironing, and the
cleaning of children are carried on-the
tobacco shaken out and hung up to dry
side by side with the linen from the wash.
and saturated, so to speak, with the
yapor and foul air of unventilated rooms
all this would be well calculated to
disturb his philosophy and give to his
meditations a ghastly suggestion of
smallpox, measles, diphtheria, fever,
and other infectious and contagious dis
eases. Yet the picture, unpleasant and
disagreeable as it is, does not eXaggerate
the facts. Since the strike among the
cigar-makers in New York there have
been strange disclosures made by the
makers through the public prints of the
way the business is managed. 1t is more
profitable to the manufacturers to have
the work done by their employees living
in over-crowded tenement-houses than
to rent or build factories, and have to
pay the many incidental expenses of
keeping up large establishments. The
chemist, too, is largely instrumental in
producing cigars of the best quality. At
trit1ing cost he can color the tobacco any
shade required by the market, from the
most delicate seal-skin brown to the
darker shades of perique, and for aro-
ma he can deceive the elect with odors
like those of the best Havana. He defies
the skill of the expert, and the keen
analysis of the connoisseur. This g Ha-
vana flavor" we are told, is secured by
putting into the filling one-eighth part
of refuse Cuba, the other seven-eighths
being our native product, and leaving
the rest of the work to the chemist

He Came Back.

Gov. DUvAL, of Florida, was the son
of poor Virginian, a stern, strong,
tacitun man. The boy was huge
youth of fifteen. At the cabin fire, at
bedtime, according to the custom of
putting on a backlog, the old man said,
between the whiffs of his silent pipe:
Tab, 90 out and bring in that gum
backlog, and put it on the fire?'
Tab went out and surveyed the log.
He knew it was of no use explaining
that it was too heavy, nor prudent for
him to return without it on his shoulder.
His little sister, passing, was not sur
prised that he requested her to bring out
the gun and powder horn, as a 'possum
or coon might have passed, or the
brother might have seen bear signs.
She brought the gun and Tab started.

to see the folks who had long since given

Dust, insects, dry air and over-water-

The law in Alabama as to married

A RUSSIAN collects stars as an En-
glishman would curiosities, and the
mania is an expensive one, for it entails
a disbursement of fees which are always
large and sometimes exorbitant. Some
Russian Generals and Senators are
knights of more than thirty orders, and
it is these that affect most to wear no
ribbons at all. The custom of going
out to evening parties in plain clothes
unadorned is one of recent birth, but it
is growing apace, and now high-class
Russians no longer show their stars at
the theater and at private parties as
they did ten years ago. At official re
ceptions they have no choice, but must
wear all the stars and crosses they pos
sess, even though their bosoms should
resemble jeweler's shop front in con-
sequence.

A Miser.

In the fall of 1876 an old man named
Guilford, living in lodgings in Bushels
Block, Oakland, died and was buried in
Mountain View Cemetery. He had
been ill for some time, and, as he was
meanly clad and quite forlorn, Mr. and
Mrs. Bushell deemed him poverty
stricken and cared for him during the
sickness which finally consigned him
to the grave. He had been for some
years sailmaker in this city and lived
in the meanest manner in order to hoard
his earnings, sleeping in a garnet and
eating food almost unfit for the human
stomach. About three years ago w.
G. Woods made his acquaintance and
was much surprised at learning by ac-
cident that which was unsupported by
the world-that Guilford possessed con-
siderable property and that he was
fine specimen of the miser. After his
death the Public Administrator took
charge of his effects, which were con-
sidered of merely nominal value. How
ever, Woods saw newspaper notice of
the miser's death, and informed the
Public Administrator that Guilford left
valuable property behind him. This
official overhauled Guilfords effects
and found real estate valued at S13, 222,
fifty shares of California and fifty shares
of Consolidated Virginia stock Now
Woods enters suit in the District Court
to recover $500 alleged to be due him
for services rendered and for the impor-
tant information given to the Public
Administrator. When this suit is set
tied what is left of Guilford's property
will revert to the school fund, as the
miser left no heirs. San Francisco

Burial Of an Idol.

The oldest of the white elephants,
which was born in ITO, died in his tenn

that SO majestic an animal could only be

its palace, vessel of gold, and harness
respondent with jewels. Several man.

feed it with cakes and sugar-cane. The
king of Siam is the only parsonage before
whom it bows the knee, and similar
saiutation is rendered it by the monarch.
The deceased idol has been accorded a
magnificent funeral. A hundred Bud.

Clever Men at Thirty-threc.

The Spectator, in an article on the
Ministerial changes, speaks-in compli-
mentary connection, it must be said
of Lord George Hamilton as among the
boys" whom Lord Beaconfeld trouble
to find out. Lord George Hamilton is, no
doubt, still a young man; and has made
his way in public life rapidly enough,
but it ought to be remembered that he
has sat in the house of commons as mem
Der for Middlesex nearly ten years. He
is now thirty-three, and at that age men
of average capacity are not usually boys.
There are abundant instances of states
men who, at thirty-three have been
leaders of parties and rulers of kingdoms.
The younger Pitt at thirty-three had
governed England as Premier for ten
years with eminent success, and had en-
gagged in the great struggle with the rev.
olution France At thirtv-three. Mr..
Gladstone, as privy councillor and pres
ident Of the board Of trade, was the chief
exponent and interpreter of Sir Robert
PeeRs commercial policy in the house of
commons. Atthirty-three NJ. Gambetta,
after conducting the war of the national
defense with an energy and devotion
which ex.Orted the admiration of his
enemies, had returned to France and
taken his place in the assembly at Yer
sailles as the leader of the advanced
Republican party. There is no reason,
then, in the nature of things, why Lord
George Hamilton at thirty-three, should
not make an efficient successor to Lord
Sandon, in spite of his consignment to
the category" of !" boys" by the Spec
tasSs.-PaH 1naa G1seiic.
