EXPERIENCE oF A SMOKER.


 A desire to ascertain what could bc the inducement offered men to in dulge in Q drug so deleteTious 10 body and brain, caused one of the party to investigate the matter for himself. Making his wishes known to the pro prietor he was immediately furn- ished with pipe and couch by that parsonage, with the remark, Opium welly good, mahee heap stlong." Ly ing down he took the pipe offered and initiated as best he could tie pig tailed heathans around. In stating his experience, he said the first pipe had no apparent effect on him, the second caused a slight feeling of las situde together with q baiI-like tink- ling in the ears; the third seemed to have tendency to make him feel very indolent and dreamy, and en- tirely indifferent % what was trans piring around; this feeling grew irresistible after the fourth pipe had been consumed. To concentrate the reasoning faculties on any subject for any length of time, was i'm possible, all control over the mind seemed lost Dreams of the most en- chanting kind, only filled the brain. All were vagaries of the widest de- gree. In one you were borne along on the smooth bosom of fast fl Ow- ing river, whose water breaking in nipples over prbbly shore, made music of the softest and most scnuous character, while in the East the sun in all his regal beauty, begins to ap- pear above the horizon, around you are maids, in whose forms and faces is a grace and beauty of the most captivating kind.

CHINESE CR00KEDNESS. 4 Peep at the !nt3rior Of an
 Opium Zen.

One of the few things which Amer
 jeans have acquired by their rela
 tions with the Chinese, are the Chi
 nese vices. Whether this is owing
 to the desire of mankind, generally
 for novelty; or, whether man, after
 having once given himself up to sen
 suality, will deny himself nothing
 which may please the senses, even
 though ruining them, we cannot say. But certain it is. that there now ex
 ist in PhGnix, numerous dens of in- fanny, which, although owned and governed by Mongolians, supported principally by Caacassians. Chief among these are thc
 OPIUM DENs,
 Which under the mask of wash houses, carry on q traffic in drug, that from its very insidiousness should be feared more than the virus of a rattlesnake. Determining to lay before the public true picture of the vice and misery presented in these dens, reporter of the DAILY HERALD, accompanied by a friend, started out to visit the principal re- sorts of opium smokers. The first reached, was one in the rear of the wash house on the corner of Monte zuma and Adams streets. Passing through the front room which is used as 2 laundry, and by a Chi nese door helper, the visitor finds in room about fifteen feet square, along the walls of which are ranged about dozen hunks in two rows, each bunk capable of accom- two persons, who, resting their heads on one pillow, face each ] other, between them q small glass ! amp, filled with q colorless Chinese 1 oil, that burns without smoke or odor) and a small jar made of horn aAd containing little more ti an two of the dark semi-fuid | irug, opium This, the smoker, talk ng up on the end of 8 piece of steel he counterpart of the old fashioned uniting needle-holds over the tiny lame of the lamp until it is thor 'ughly roasted, when he defuy works it into a small cone, about luarter of an inch in length, and ,laces it in an orifce in bowl in the enter of q flute shaped pipe, and nce more returning it to the flame f the tiny lamp, rests his head on he pillow and exhaRsts it in about alf g dozen strong whifTs what he as been at such trouble to prepare.

Our Tenure Of Life

Depends in great measure upon our regard for
or neglect of the laws of health. IL we violate
them we cannot expect to "make old bones "
But that the span of existence allotted to nat
urally delicate constitution, or one which has
been shaken by disease, may be materially
heightened, is fact of which we have daily
proof. The vivifying and restorative influence
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon failing
physique affords striking illustration OF the
power of iudicious medication to strengthen
the hold on life. Restored digestion, complete
assimilation, renewed appetite, sound repose,
these are among the benefits conferred upon
the debilitated by that supreme renovsnt With
u circulation enriched. frame invigorated, and
n nervous system tranquilized, the invalid,
after course of the Bittcrs, feels that his life

Bayard TaylOr's Family.

He married the daughter of the as
tronomer at Gotha, an accomplished
lady, whose fine critical taste and learn
ing have been of so much advantage to
him in his learning, and so perfect was
her familiarity with his purposes and
her knowledge of his literary material,
that there is room to hope she may do
the work he designed in the life of
Goethe. He leaves one child, his
daughter, Lillian, whose face is re-
markable reproduction OF his own as it
appears in the portrait that shows him
as he walked in Europe when boy.
His father and mother are both living
at Cedarcroft, the house that he built
within mile of his birthplace, on
ground that his ancestors owned for 200
years. 1t has been nearly ten years
since their golden wedding, and in
April last they saw with cheerful hope
fulness their adventurous and famous
son set forth on the last of his long

lJsefulIfNot New.

The following simple rules for pre-
serving health and promoting comfort
If not new to some of our readers, are
none the less important to every one.
The object of brushing the teeth il
to remove the destructive particles OF
food which by their decomposition gener-
ate decay. To neutralize the acid re.
sulting from this chemical change is the
object of dentifrice. A stiff brush
should be used after every meal, and q
thread of silk floss or India rubber
passed through between the teeth to re-
move particles of food. Rinsing the
mouth in lime water neutralizes the acid.
Living and sleeping in room in
which the sun never enters is slow
form of suicide. A sun bath is the most
refreshing and life-giving bath that can
possibly be taken.
Always keep the feet warm, and thus
avoid colds. To this end, never sit in
damp shoes or wear foot covering fitting
or pressing closely.
The best time to eat fruit is half an
hour before breakfast.
A full bath should not be taken less
than three hours after meal. Never
drink cold water before bathing. Do
not take cold bath when tired.
Keep box of powdered starch on the
washstand; and, after washing, rub a
pinch over the hands. 1t will prevent
chapping.
u feeling cold before going to bed,
exercise; do not roast over a fire.
