WHAT THEY SMOKE IN GERMANY.-In con-
nectiOn with Prince Bismark's tobacco pro-
ject, a celebrated bOtanist Herr Schlieden
has published some statistics i'm regard to the
manufacture and sale of cigars i'm Germany
1t appears that in Thuringia alone about $50
formed into tobacco" In Madgeburg and the
Palatinate the cigar makers employ large
quantities not only of beetroot leaves, but also
OF the leaves OF endive, and even of the pota-
to plant. The cigars sold in South Germany
as coming from Vevey, at price Of from one
mark to one mark and half hundred, do
not, according to Herr Schlieden, contain any
turnip leaves which had been deprived of their
specific oder by various manipulatiOnS, and
subsequently STEPPED for some time i'm an ex,
tract of tobacco" Herr Schlieden adds with
an air of conscious pride, "that in no country
in the world are cigars sold at so cheap rate
as in Germany."-fPdUM aU Gazette.

Touching Tribute of Respect.

Yesterday the Cleaves Dramatic
Combination, which had given two
of their pleasing entertainments in
our town, visited the cemetery, with
the ladies' brass band belonging to
the troup, and played Sweet Bye
and-bye" over the grave of q brother
professional, the well-known L. F.
Beatty, who many of our readers will
doubtless remember in "Auld lang
syne." Mr.. S. E. Dennis, one of
the members of the present company,
played with MIR. Beatty the last night
be was on the stage, he having given
evidence during the performance of
the malady which in ten days was
succeeded by death. 1t this act of
respect these people have only been
true to themselves. In no profess
sion does there exist more fratern-
al feeling than between the brothers
and sisters who join their worship
at the Temple of Thespis. Much
has been said agains: them; much is
said by those who gracefully drape
their Projections about the dogmas
of various creeds, and but few have
the courage to frame q sentence on
their behalf; but as q rule, these
people are, at least, as full of those
active impulses from which Christi
anity is evolved as are those who, il
stripped of the habit of religious as
snmption. would be found thinly
clad. Theirs is is q practical Chris
tianity. They care for the sick, pro-
vide for the infFm, and cherish . |

The neosy Qusstisa.

Il matters very little to . free. indie
pendent people like the Americans.
what il il that shall pass from hand
TO hand - . money representative.
In the great history Of the world. ~
find that almost an infinite number
Of articles have, from time 70 time,
and among the various nations Of
antiquity, been used - the medium
Of money valuation. The base As
we'll a. the precious metals. the vsri-
Gus precious stones. pearls and 9TH
er gems, glass desices. shells. rare
specimens Of pottery clay, and var
iously tinted leather, all these arti-
cles have been clothed with signif-
icant legends and made to perform
service rs the veritable representa-
tives of whatever 10 accounted the
good things of tLis world. But the
object Of our present remarks relates
mainly to the money question as now
SO gravely discussed from ocean to
ocean by the laboriug classes as well
as by the uagnates and Wall Street
spectators of our land. As we
have intimated, it does not really mat
ter whether the circulating medium of
our own and all enlightened nations
be gold, silver, or government pro-
misery note, SO long as the power
that issues it avoids the shoals and
quicksands Of bankruptcy and righte-
ouslv eschews the political sins of
the day, Reputation being the black
est and foulest. Many of the lead
ing papers of New York and their
managers, better judges than we
are, maintain that the monetary con-
dition of the country was never bet
ter than since the passage of the
silver bill; and not only this, but
even an increased prosperity is at
our very doors. They call upon the
people to accept the silver bill with
a good grace and let it work out
for us the national salvation we have
been SO long hoping and praying for.
With all its defects it has GER
tainly very many redeeming quail
ties in its provisions. The New York
Dispatch and the Record contend that
the law will increase the volume of
ready money. The coinage of four
millions of silver every month cannot
help having it's legitimate effect upon
business of all kinds, and must in
evitably give a renewed impetus to
both foreign and domestic trade.
One abiding consolation is the fact
that we shall not have to send abroad
and pay high prices for bullion.
Like the grain that supplies our
myriads of rumbling Touring mills,
our mountains have only to be hon
ey-combed to supply, for all time, a
mint in every metropolis, should
such thing ever become expedient
in the progressive history of our po-
litical economy.
