The physicians of Paris arc wag-
ing war on tobacco. They urge
that it depletes the vital forces, and
claim that the long.lived men of the
world are not its slave. The board
of public instruction in Paris years
since forbade its use by the pupils in
the schools on the ground of de-
pressing and deadening effects. Our
own observation with young men as.
sooiated in study in our own family
confirms the claim that the use of to-
bacco blurs the keen sight and quick
feeling. Generally the young men
who use tobacco cannot keep with
those that eschew it. The statistics
on tobacco from Yale College, pub
lished in the Yale CowraRt. are just
as we should have expected. The
Yale classes are divided into divisions
according to scholarship, the first di'
vision containing the best and the
fourth the poorest scholars. In the
first division only twenty-five per
cent. use tobacco, in the second forty,
eight, in the third seventy, in the
lowest eighty.fve. Does not this
show that tobacco and brains, or the
use of brains, stand in inverse ratio

JUDGE TAYLOR THE COMING
MAN.

The Republicans of the politically
historic XIXth Congressional Dis
trict of Ohio have placed in nomin-
alton for Congress Judge E. b. Tay-
lOr, of Warren. Aside from any
considerations of local pride, the
Chronicle takes pleasure in reassur.
ing the public that the mantle of
James A. Garfield could not have
fallen on shoulders more worthy to
wear IL; nor in all those accomplish
ments which befit men for high trust,
no one could have been better named
than Ezra b. Taylor.
Mr.. Taylor has received high en-
dorsements from the prominent men
and leading newspapers of both po-
litical parties, and from all sections
of the country. "When he takes
his seat in Congress-" says the Cleve-
land Herald, che will honor not only
a district that has been high in hon
or hitherto, but will also stand the
peer of any Ohio man who shall sit
in that Congress with him."
Cleveland Leader:-Judge Ezra
b. Taylor was nominated to fill Gen,
eral Garfeld's place. There were
many good names before the Con
vention, and it was a decidedly spir-
tied affair, but it is safe to say that
it could not have done its work bet.

Garheld's shoes. There will be no
rattle.

lieve that most OF the volunteers in the

not at all undertake to explain the following

eleven States, with grand total of $50, ,635
votes cast, Of which Lincoln received 116,SS7

or that they were not, for that is something
no fellow can tell for obvious reasons; but
wish to place ourself on record as claiming
that the above figures are no fair test of the
political status of the union soldiers, and for
the following reasons, which we know to be
correct:
Flrstly-A large number of Democrats voted
for Lincoln, believing that as the war had COM
menced under his administration, thus giving
the lie to the rebel boast made that they would
never give up while Lincoln was President.
Secondly-in many places there were no
Democratic or Mcclellan tickets to be had.
