Cigars.

Let every honest smoker take cour-
age. Cigars are not made out of cab
bage leaves. The British Government
discusses the subject of tobacco adulter-
alton in big blue book, which contains
tabulated account of the seizures of
the spurious article made in the United
Kingdom since 1864, and in the whole
volume there is no mention of the cab
bage blossom. But there are many sus-
picious things among the ingredients, as
the abstract in the Pail Mall Gazette
shows Theft sort is required fer the
actual substance of the cigar; the second
for improving the outward appearance,
and the third for imparting to it what is
supposed to be better taste. In the
former category the favorite substances
seem to be the leaves of the lime-tree,
the husks of wheat and oats, cotton,
yarn, and tonquin bean. But there are
numerous cases where the ingredients
| have been much more curiously select
ed, and have included cocoanut fiber,
small seeds, cotton, wood, and bread.
At one establishment fifty pounds of to.
bacco-dust were found and analysed
when it was shown to contain string
wood, nails. grndings Of tobacco pipe
dirt and all sorts of refuse. Another
large class of materials is apparently
used for securing the adhesion and con
sistency of the cigar when made. Among
these, starch is the most prominent; bu
it includes gum and amidine, gun
arabic, glue, glycerine, and essentia
oils. The color of the fabrication is til,
next thing TO be attended to, and fo
this purpose resort has been had to vel
low ocher, red sandalwood, logwood
lampblack and Venetian red. AS for tn
flavor of the cigar, it is varied to suit tn
most diverse tastes; but the usual objec
seems to be to impart to it pleasin,
sweetness of tone. Accordingly saccha
rine matter, especially treacle, is YER
largely pressed into the service. Fo
those who like rather more decide,
taste, liquorice, salt, logwood, glycerine
and aniseed are used.

KELLY.

The Great Motor Fraud Makes His Exn
The reported bankruptcy of the famous
Keely Che of "motor" fame), says the
Chicago Journal, furnishes an appro-
pirate finale TO a somewhat protracted
career of mingled prosperity, popularity
and humbue gerry. That there was ever
any reasonable prospect OF success In the
attainment of the object sought by Kelly
is altogether unlikely, although he made
himself (perhaps) and hundreds of
wealthy men believe in it. Taken as a
whole, it may be doubted whether this
motor fraud, with which Keely's name
will remain forever associated, is not
about as stupendous as any in recent his
tory, and was not as adroitly and cum
ningly managed. How Keely succeeded
in hoodwinking sensible, sharp, shrewd
business men as long as he did, how he
kept them tolerably satisfied, to say the
least, by excuses and reasons given from
time to time for the delay to bring the
monster motor out, is another of the
many mysteries connected with this
gigantic mechanical swindle.
As is well known, stock company
was formed, huge in Dimensions and
abundant in resources, by which the
machine, when completed, was to be
owned and the "power" negotiated.
Under the idea that the new force, if
once developed and properly harnessed,
would supersede the use of steam, men
advanced money to experiment with in
the most lavish and reckless manner,
thinking there was millions in it,
sure. And whenever any stakeholder
became suspicious, and went on to Phil
adelphia t. investigate a little, Keely
would gravely take him into his work
shop, show him some experiments which
we're enough to stun and befog anybody,
declare oracularly the cause of the de-
lay, and then assure the victim that, as
soon as everything was right and ripe,
the machine would be forthcoming, and
the world would be at their feet beseech-
ing them for the privilege of using the
wonderful power.
After q time, the stockholders divided
into two cliques, with headquarters at
Boston and New York respectively, and
Kelly, by managing and manipulating
both, or rather selling himself first to
one party and then to the other, sue
ceeded in drawing out the cash from all
and keeping himself well supplied.
But now, it appears, the funds are all
gone, the game is nearly or quite played
out, promises have ceased to dazzle and
betray, and poor Keely has at last been
forced to the wall and has financially
collapsed. Fit termination to fit pro-
ject First, the machine went under or
mp, and now poor Keely goes with the
machine to the land of unverifed n.y.
potheses and unrealized dreams. Let
us hope we now have had the final act
and even scene in the Keely motor farce

Decline OF New York,s Commerce.

New York city had 220, 900 hotel
guests in 1865. Since that time there has
been general decrease. In 1876 she
he'd only 100, 900, and in 1877 only a.
600. The Chamber of Commerce
committee report that New York
is the most expensive of cities in which
to do business, in consequence of bad
city government, enormous taxation,
miserably paved and dirty streets, in
sufficient and expensive terminal facili-
ties, and oppressive railroad discrimina-
tons. The iobbfhg trade rs decreasing,
and there is ruinous competition in
bulky articles.

"And when my handkerchief / shall hide,
You must by magical music trace
Your way TO its secret hiding-pace.
"Thus, when the piano soft and low

But when shall strike IL loud and clear,
Then look you well-you are somewhere near.
Silence reigns; then melody sweet

DURING February the total accession
of prisoners at the Michigan State pris-
on was sixteen, and one who had escaped
was returned. In the same period twen-
ty-eight were discharged by reason of
the expiration of sentence, one died, one
was pardoned by the Governor, and one
granted O new trial. The whole number
in the prison March / was 82S, being
thirteen less than at the beginning of
February.
THE Northwestern Mining Journal of
Feb. n has an interesting and very COM
plete statement of the production.of the
Michigan copper mines in Lake Superior
for the year 1877, together with COM
parative figures going back to 1916. We
make the following extract from the

of six or seven years. A commercial panic
is a greater evil than foreign war. All
classes of citizens know how slowly and
painfully business RECEIVERS from the pros
trating shock of panic, and they will be
in no haste to invite new one after what
they have suffered since 1873. IT resump-
ton could have been fought off and pre-
vented new panic would not have ensued;
but suspension ofspecie payments after re-
sumption would inevitably produce another
commercial shock. "a burnt child breads
the fire. nobody is going to try to throw
everything into disturbance and confusion
after the re-establishment of business on
specie basis. Once re-established specie
payments cannot be suspended without a
general crash, and the country knows too
well what panic means to desire another

currency craze will die out on the success

scription clerks must have graduated as
physicians, or served an apprenticeship
of at least two years in some drug
store. Fortunately, however, for the
thirsty and the quenchers of thirst, this
law, like all others, is provided with loop
hole of escape Persons not regularly
qualified as prescription clerks may COM
pound or sell medicines under the super
vision of the proprietor. Now let each
dealer take unto himself partner from
among the unemployed physicians in the
city, and the provisions of the law will be
complied with, while the tormenting Dis
trict Attorney and intolerable temperance
people will have nothing to do butte gnash
their teeth in impotent rage. Too much
care cannot be used in complying with the
requirements of the law for if death results
from any prescription that can be traced to
source not entirely regular the offence
will be felony and the offender subjected
to a fine of from one to five thousand dol
lars, or Imprisonment for from two to four
years, or both. Considering the quality OF
most liquor medicine, we mean-sold in

human life, it behooves the dealers either
to comply carefully with the law or to
promptly and greatly improve the quality

Our reports upon the stage have this
morning the special merit of variety Mr..
Neuendorf explains the difference between
playing to Germans and to Americans, and
tells of his new repertoire and company.
Miss Genevieve Ward chats approximately
of her success and her treatment by the
public, and has good word even for the
critics. The interviews are varied by an
interesting letter from the well known
actor and dramatic author, Harry Watkins,
upon the rights of actors and authors, and the
need for dramatic authors association.
Finally we have some strong though pathetic
words from those stout pillars of the legiti-
mate drama, Messrs. Birch. Wambold and
Backus, of the San Francisco Minstrels.

That great middle degree of comfortable
temperature which lies somewhere between
the Arctic Circle and the Equator moved
yesterday from Coney Island to New York
When the philosopher Buckle affirmed the
existence of fixed and invariable rule of
human conduct we suspect he had the
thermometer in his minds eye. By o
simple arrangement of this ingenious in
strument any observer may sit in his parlor
and know every phase of the seasons and
every kink Of the fashions as infinitely
as though he walked the streets and
summered at the watering places. Instead
Of the terms summer heat" "blood heat, +"
s.zero," &C., his instrument would indicate
s'straw hats and linen pantaloons," or ''fur
coats. hot lemonade and skates" BY long
practice and experience the student could
tell to a nicely the day when seaside visit
ors and oyster stews came due, the right
moment to discard white hats and ice cream,
and even when to announce the prevalence
of suicidal mania, lecturing season, or O
mayoralty canvass
Of course there must be delicate and in
genious notifications OF this theory in
practice. This is q world of compromise.
The crowds which may have been driven to
the city from Saratoga and Long Branch by
the cold weather of yesterday will be apt to
be driven to Coney Island by the warm
weather of next week. Coney Island is near
and cheaply reached and respectable. The
visitors who have fled from Saratoga or
Newport have fled for the season, but Coney
Island can claim back its own in les
than an hour. It may be necessary to
adapt the thermometrical system to another
fact. Fifty degrees in the shade need not
be taken infallibly to mean that the streets
of this city may remain dirty because the
danger of epidemic disease is past. We
trust that instead of relaxing the energies
of the Street Cleaning Bureau (charitably
supposing that they have some energies to
be relaxed, which is not altogether ap-
parent) the cool weather OF autumn may
brace them to vigorous effort. The peo-
pie of New York would be gratifed to see
the streets thoroughly clean before the
coming of the winter SHOWS.

Statements about the difficulty between
petroleum producers and transporters have
heretofore come principally from we'll own
ers and dealers, but to-day we give the ver-
sion of the United Pipe Lines, presenting
it, according to request, in the exact Ian
guage Of the officers of the ompany. The
company claims that it works indepen-
IDENTIFY of the Standard Oil Company that
it ships according to order, favoring no one
producer above another, the supplying Of
cars being the duty Of the buyer and not of
the Pipe Lines, and that the complaint that
oil has to be sold at two and one-half per
cent below market rates would not exist were
the well owners TO provide sufficient tank
age for their oil instead Of crowding it
through the pipes to the com pany's tanks at
shipping points. The charge Of over-produc-
ton is again made but the question natur-
ally arises, Why cannot buyers outside the
protecting lines of the Standard Company
obtain cars when they want them? For the
transportation of any staple Of steady pro-
duction. like petroleum, railway companies
are glad to build an adequate number Of
cars, particularly when there is no one to
compete with them in price and carrying
facilities. 1t is useless to talk Of over-pro-
ducticn while bona tde buyers want oil for
which they cannot get transportation. 1t
would seem, too, that the Pipe Lines, if
really IN independent organization, would
itself erect additional tankage facilities at
shipping points, as it monopolizes the
piping business and can charge what it
pleases. For the reasons stated above, as
we'll as for others which have been sug-
gested, it will seem to many readers that
the explanations made through our corre-
spondent do not explain as fully as is
necessary to a refutation Of the charge of
favolitism.

How deep seated are the troubles that
attend the present attempt to restore tran
quillity IN the countries that were lately
called European Turkey is startlingly
shown by the butchery of Mehemet Ali.
His crime was that he would not take part
in the efforts to aid the resistance to Aus
tria 1t is only the most imperative popu-
lar impulse-an impulse that moves with
the common consent if not with the will of
the whole country--that can thus fagrantly
override all the considerations that would
have ordinarily procured respect for o
soldier like Mehemet Ali at the hands
of a warlike people, and in a dis
trict that owns allegiance to the
sovereigns whose armies he has COM
manded. That he was an adventurer was
no prejudice to him in q land Of adventu-
rers, and that he was not an Ottoman would
not have weakened his case amid Greeks
and Slavs; but he would not move with the
popular will against the common enemy,
and he was resolute to do his duty toward
his government in an honest effort to
further the obligations taken under
the Treaty of Berlin. His massacre
for these reasons will be instructive to
Europe, and not without effect at Constan-
tinople. In its latter aspect it will operate
in defeat of the treaty. 1t will warn other
officers sent to the Adriatic countries to go
warily. None of them will provoke repe-
tition in his own case of the fate of Mehemet
Ali, and as the Turkish government has
neither the energy nor the force to rerress
acts of this nature in the country where it
occurred the consequence will be the prac-
tical removal of all obstacles to support of
the war against Austria. Turkish officials
will connive at what they know they can
not control and even help or pretend to
help in case where it is dangerous to be
neutral. By this process the moral assent
of their own authorities will be given to
the fierce endeavors of the mountaineers to
resist the attempt to turn them over to a
new lord. Austria, finding herself at war
with the people Of the whole mountain
region and troubled with the discontents
of the Hungarians at home, has no brilliant
prospect, and cannot be congratulated
thus far upon her position as the cots-paw
of the anti ussian interests in the Eastern
settlement.
