Some years ago the French govern
ment directed the Academy Of Medicine
to INQUIRE into the influence Of. tobacco
on the human system. The report Of
the commission appointed by the Acad-
envy states that large number of the
diseases of the nervous system and Of
the heart, noticed in the cases of those
affected with paralysis or insanity, were
to be regarded as the sequence Of exces-
si7e indulgence in the use Of this artl-
Gle and it is remarked that tobacco
seems primarily to act upon the organic
nervous system, depressing the faeul-
ties and influencing the nutrition OF the
body, the circulation Of the blood, and
the number Of red corpUscles in the
blood. Attention is also called to bad
digestion, benumbed intelligence, and
cIouded memory of those who use to
baccO to excess.

Given all the comforts and many OF
the Iuxuries Of life, how many people
are discontented solely from habit OF
comparing their lots with those Of more
fortunate acquaintancesl They do not
specially obiectstO waIking-they like
exercise-but, whenever their next-door
neighbor's carriage dashes by them,
they grow suddenly tired about the
knees and feel a weakness in the back
with which pedestrianism does not
agree. Wooden gowns would beperfect-
" comfortable if siIkones never rusded

We are gratitied to observe
that the regular Tennessee sto-
ry about eighteen hundred rat
tlesnakes being killed in SIN
hours, by Il party of schoolboys,
appears exactly in time this
summer. Last year it was lit
tie late. This reminds us Of an
incident occurring near San Jose
a few years ago. One OF our
pioneer farmers from Kentucky
had settled in that neighborhood,
and was delighted with his sur
roundings, except in regord to
the utter absence of snakes. 1t
didn't seem homeIike. At last
an idea seized him. lie wrote
home and had Il nice box of care
fully assorted snakes sent him
by express. These he turned
loose in a field near his house,
and as he watched them scut-
Ting into the squirrel holes with
that easy cosmopolitan adapta-
bility to circumstances peculiar
to serpents, he remarked, his
mind full of gentle reminiscent
ces Of the past: "They will
breed rapidly here, and soon the
boys will enjoy themselves get
ting bitten On the bare feet rs
they drive the cows to pasture.
He then FASTENED to tell the
neighbors what he had done to
improve real estate in that vi
cinity. Unfortunately, for him
they were all in favor Of the 10.
cal snake monopoly, controlled
by the barkeepers, and promptly
lynched the importer of the

We regret to be compelled to record a
decided change i'll the prospects of the
grain crops in this State within the past
two weeks. The northern tier of coun-
lies has been struck by rust, and over
n large erea there are well founded
complaints of loss from cheat. The
tendency now is toward lower estimates,
and well informed parties here at pres
cut consider 600. 900 to Coo. 600 tons as
the maximum surplus, which would
make the loss C0,000, to 15O, 600 TONS
Salinas, Calusa and Yolo have suffered
most. The great San joaquin valley is
not materially affected as yet, bnt firth
er south estimates are reduced one
third. 1t may be that the injury is
over-es estimated. but there is beyond
donb. sufficient ground to be cautious
in giving credence to the outside esti-
mates which prevailed short time
