A VISIT TO Mr.. PoLLoCK's CIGAR SHOP.
yesterday visited the extensive cigar
shops at the prison, worked by Augustus
Pollack, of your city, where l found
about sixty convicts, part OF whom are
whites, part Indians, (the Arapshoe
chief Crowman among them) and part
negroes, all busily engaged in stripping
tobacco and manufacturing and packing
cigars and stogles, under the supervision
of MIR. Adolph Weidebusch, from whom
learned the following particulars OF the
business done in this shop: The leaf to-
bacco Is bought principally in Louisville,
KY, and Cincinnati, Ohio, where Mr..
Pollock has resident buyers, of long e1-
perience, whose business it is to be ever
on the alert, and profit by any opportu-
mites that may offer for securing
bargains, and as he employs a
large cash capital IN the business,
he is often enabled to secure, through
his agents, such bargains as will enable
him TO work better stock than his com.
petitors who buy only in small quaint.
ties and for immediate consumption, and
sells his cigars at the regular prices. In
addition to the large trade which the
uniform excellent quality of his cigars,
and fair and honorable manner OF doing
business. has secured for these shops 10
every portion of the Union where
Wheeling stogies are sold and smoked,
Mr.. Pollock has established very ex-
tensivo trade in Canada, where the great
er part of his cigars are now sold. Mr..
Weidebusch showed me q cigar which
they have lately commenced msnutsc-
turing bere, which he calls the Havana
sprigged cigar, and is branded 1Opers."

Wheeling "tip," but smaller, and in
place of being merely tipped" with
Havana tobacco, has strip run.

fine favor until the cigar is entirely con.

the following brands of cigars and stogies
under his trade mark: wheeling

Pollock is fortunate in securing the SER

of them in q very successful manner.
THE MAN WITH No CLOTHES on.
Mr.. Carder's account of his encounter
with "ths man with no clothes on" sent
you in my last, and an account furnished
by q couple OF young men who claim TO
have witnessed the affair, does not OK.
sctly agree, or, more properly speaking,
Mr.. Carder does not vouchssfe quite so
detailed an account OF the same as furn-
ished by these gentlemen. AS to the
manner of meeting there is no dscrep
ancy in the two versions, but the fndte is
quite different. And just here comes in
one Of the most remarkable things in ma
ture. Mr.. Carder's recollection Of the
affair, up to this point, ia perfectly clear
He relates with the most clrcumstantial
accuracy the conversation as 1t occurred;
describes minutely the appearance OF the
stranger, even to the wet, struggling locks
of hair over his forehead, the wild, un-
earthly gesm of the eyes, etc, and then
comes q total blank. The entire memory
machinery appears to give way, and the
animated foot race through the mud
rain, wind and darkness of that bleak,
starless March morning, together with
the yelling and grabbing for the lamp
which he carried, by the opposition, as
SO graphically described by the two wit
nesses. All these startling and exciting
portions OF this little drama are, IS far as
Mr.. Csrver's recollection is concerned, as
if they had never been enacted. This
strange freak of memory leave TO scien-
fists to explain, il they can, as | candid
ly admit it is too much fer me.
