VERY INJURIOUS. Ngcette smoking il
growing in favor, and yet experience prove
that il is more injurious han pipes or ci
CARS. Medical men declar that the tobacco
of which the cigarettes areyenerally made il
strongly impregnated witt opium, and The
wrapper invariably said t be rice paper i
the most ordinary qualify of rice paper
whitcned with arsenic. Niny cases of paral
ysis have been traced direly to this PERM
cious habit as their cause, nd physicians al
most unanimously condeln cigarettes a
fraught with ten times theevil results from
the use Of tobacco than in it's other variou
forms
JoE's GRsr. Joe Burlc has two pas
sions, or hobbies, in THISTLE, for fact
One is to try to run a neat markctth,

he dressed his market up splendid styl
for Christmas, with nice be,f, mutton, pork
deer and poultry, which lad been caugh
and killed just when coveed with ripe rib
bons and brown sausage Inks, and as tn
proof is in tho eating, he ent one of thos
turkies where il would do tie most good, +
give the editors family Merry Christmas
That's two items. Then Joe's apprentice
boy, Johnny Shea, while citing steak OF
the tender side of an on han came across al
old goad spike carelcssly ldt in the meat
year or two ago by some bInch-grass buffer
which made the knife slD, and the knit
made an ugly cash in Johmy's right thigh
which made the boys get aound lively for
doctor And now Johnny has quit carvin
raw meat for time. THIN Joe got dow
from the Dallcs ON TUESDAY ten head O
bunch-grass steers that Dickerson had bee
