A Warning to Cigarette Smokers.

SOME of the cigarettes which are
smoked to so large an extent are said to
be dangerous articles. A physician had
one of them analyzed, and the tobacco
was found to be strongly impregnated
with opium, while the wrapper, which
was warranted to be rice paper, was
proved to be the most ordinary quality
of white paper, whitened with arsenic,
the two poisons combined being pre-
sented in sufficient quantities to create
in the smoker the habit of using opium,
without being aware of it, and which
craving can only be satisfied by an in
cessant use of cigarettes.-Bangor Me- J

IT Is rather amusing to hear the
Democracy spout about the military
genius Of Mcclellan. The Democrat

war failure. They are equally mix
ed with regard to- Hancock. At least
ninety-nine out Of every hundred
Democrats believe that Hancock was a
brutal murderer all through the war,
yet now they hurrah for him because
of his part in the war. Every man
killed by Hancock and his men, was a

IT would seem to be little strange
that if the American people are just
dying to put the Democratic party in
power, that the party would resort to
all kinds of trickery-changing its
doctrines half dozen times in ten
years, and attempting to buy or steal
the Presidency. The Democrats of
one State do not know the views of
those of another State, yet this is the
party that "claims with confidence"
The Democratic party is so badly
muddled that it does not, itself, know
what it is.

DEMOCRATS ask us to vote for Han

cause he is pretty. As for the pretty,
we have seen fat, sleek steers that were

penter or blacksmith, as because he
was a good soldier. MilitarS expe-

perhaps, have been better for both
uncle and nephew had the latter died
several years ago. Mr.. Pelton acted
as agent for his uncle in the attempt
to buy Presidential Electors in 1876.
Upon the exposure Of his schemes,
and the translation ands publication of
the cipher kilograms, Mr.. Tilden clos
ed his house against his nephew, for
pretended to- and assumed an air of
virtuous Indignation at the nephew's
conduct. Every man who has watch
ed the course of events however, knows
that Col. Pelton was the authorized
agent of Tilden in all his attempts to
buy or steal the Presidency. Pelton
was perhaps the better man of the

The principal thing urged against
Gen. Hancock with regard to the
hanging Of Mrs. Surratt, is this: Mrs.
Surratt was tried by a Military Com
mission after the close Of the war, and
Judge Wylie held that such Court
at the time could not legally try the
case He therefore issued writ of
habeas corpus, ordering the prisoner
to be brought before him. Hancock
brought her before the Judge,
but at the same time produced an Or
der which he had secured from Presi-
dent Johnson suspending the writ of
habeas corpus in the District of Co
lumbia-a thing it had not been deem
ed necessary to do during the darkest
days of the war. This is the man who
believes in subordinating the military
to the civil authorities
