FOR SMOKERS ONLY.

Toclgar smokers anything Is interesting con-
corning the weed. The broker may be devoted
to his stocks, the merchant to the arrival OF
cotton, but both have their own pet hobbies
In cigars. To one Cinto de Orion 10 superior
to a Majaiua, to another the memories OF Par
tagas are dearer than those Of Exception. Last
evening we dropped In upon Mr.. Manuel Bor-
MO, the well-known dealer at the corner OF
Gravier and Camp streets, and In the course
OF a chat learned something about the pros
poets OF the coming tobacco crop In Cuba that
will doubtless be of interest to smokers.
Mr.. b. said that latest ad vices showed that
this years crop promises to be one Of pecu-
liar richness and flavor, so far aS Ii can be
judged from present appearances The plants
are growing finely, and the leaves are strong
and vigorous. During July and August pick
ing and curing will take place, and by Sep
TENDER we will receive the first Of the new
crop.
The best tobacco comes from the V,lelto
Abdjo, and the next best from the Vuettn Ar
rtba. In both sections the promises are
good.
The last crop, said Mr.. B., was not up to the
standard, for the frequent rains washed away
the bouquet or richness OF the leaves. and
therefore, the color was not as deep "a was
desirable. Hence 1t was that we have seen
this year 30 lew oScuros, or very dark cigars
or real maduroS, dark. The principaI color
coming have been the colorado nadnrC
(brown) and colorado Digit brown.
The crop to be gathered in August, however
Will De deeper and contain more of the rich
aroma Tor which the Havana cigar has OBJ
talned such worldwide reputation.

In view OF furthering the cause OF the
monument now In progress OF erection to
the memory OF Robert T.. Lee, and for the
purpose OF raising funds to that effect. the
ladies' of the Lee Monumental Fund have de-
cided upon making grand loan exposition"
Mt an early date The objects wanted for that
display are precious works Of art such as
paintings, statuettes. antiques, etc We
think the idea is a good one and will assured
ly be- prolific In its results, for we have no
doubt that ali. our citizens who possess at
home objects worthy OF notice in that line
will contribute them freely for that good
purpose In this connection though we do
not like to be offensive, We cannot help mem
tioning that there is now In the Office Of Major
E. A. Burke, our popular State Treasurer, an
old painting of tho battle OF New Orleans,
by Deloniers, the great French artist, whose
last days were ended In Louisiana, which is
certainly full of remarkable points. This
work of art Ia modestly RELOCATED In corner
OF Major Burke's Office, though 1t deserves n
prominent place In any art gallery. The
painter has evidently studied the formation
OF battallons and the intricaeies of artillery
manDuvres. The ships OF Lafltte In the dis
lance, sailing upon the bosom OF the majestic
Mississippi river, seem alive and IL we may
be bold enough to say so, the death of
ham is delineated by Deloniers with
more artistic merit than in Lami's
certainly imposing painting now grazing our
State-HOuse. This work OF art, concerning
which we could eKpatiate much more, Is the
the property OF Mr.. Marshal Stoddart, the
former partner In business OF Major Burke.
Mr.. Stoddart Is a gentlemen OF highly cuti-
waited tastes and b weli-known connoisseur In
art matters, belonging to one OF the wealthest
families OF Philadelphia Recently an aged
relatives demise left to his care large posses
sons in several States OF the Union, which
now claim all bis attention.
so high value does he place upon this
painting, however, that he has written to have
1t forwarded to him, intending to present it
to his native city Philadelphia, In order that
1t should be placed alongside Of the painting
OF the signing OF the declaration OF indepen-
dence.
We suggest, however, that In the mean
while Major Burke, as a public-spirited ctl-
zens, loan this work OF art to be- exposed for
the benefit OF the Lee Monumental Associa-
ton. We are sure Mr.. Stoddart would not
object

REsUM yTsON.

Yesterday, after the opening OF business
hours, our mercantile community found
itself running again In the accustomed gear
the Clearing House banks having opened
wide their vaults, and paying over the
counter In the good old way all solid checka
presented. Contrary to the anticipations Of
wiseacres, and that class Of men who always
see the gloomy side Of coming events, every
thing In our financial circles passed of
briskIy and at the same time quietly. Con-
fidence In our banks has evidently been re-
stored, for not the least Sign Of rush could
be seen on any OF these institutions, and no
anxiety appeared to be felt about the safety OF
any.
Two OF our leading banks the Canal Bank
and the Citizens Bank, step up to the front
and publish statements this morning, which
can be found in the proper column OF the
DEMOCRAT. Both show undeniable strength.
The Canal Banks oppose shows an amodnt
In gold, United States Treasury notes. etc,
immediately disposlble, Of S29l1,6Ss u,
against an amount OF deposits Of 50, 257, 743 II,
allzable Immediately upon any emergency.
The Citizens Bank shows a total amount
subject to check of S778,4z II, to face which
1t has on hand s7l5,82l 81, leaving only a DIFF
ference OF S62, 604 80, which can be made up
within the space OF half an hour by calling In
some OF the loans on call, 100000 Of which,
so we are informed, could be Immediately
realized
This is q splendid showing for these two
banks, In fact. 1t demonstrates that It Is the
next thing to an lmpossibility to break them.

GEN. q. r. REAUREGARD.
What re Has to say About the Offers of
Money tn Geo. ID. Prentice.

In tho telegraplo dispatches Of the twenty
fourth instant II was mentioned that Gen.
Beauregard had, during the war. offered TO
Geo. d. Prentice the editor Of the Louisville
journal, 100000 to remain neutral In the
struggle. Il was also stated that the General
had offered to Prentice s25, 900 for the publica-
ton OF q single editorial in favor OF the
Southern cause. A representative Of the
DEMoSRAT called upon Gen. Beauregard yes
tertlay TO hear what he had to say concerning
the above statement. The General denies
most positively that he over had any con-
versation or correspondence, direct or indi-
rect, with Mr.. Prentice, OF the Louisville
Journal relative to his remaining neutral OF
otherwise during the late Confederate war

Ing that the Southern States had not taken
up arms to defend slavery. but for the pur-
pose of putting stop 10 sectional oppres-
sion and defending the sacred doctrine o
