Recent investigations respecting the
chemical constituents of tobacco fumes
confirm the olden view of the presence
of nicotine. 1t has, however, been as
certained that nicotine appears mostly
in the form of salts, having picoline for
their base. Other substances of SINH
lar composition are generated in the
act of smoking, which seem to form
under the influence of the varying
quantity of water in the tobacco and
its mode of combustion. Thus the use
of the pipe develops the highly diffusi-
BILE and narcotic pyridin, while cigar
smoking gives rise to larger quantities
of colidn. There exists only enc rem
edy for the cure of chronic tobacco
poisoning, but that is so prompt and
efficacious that none other is needed.
Unfortunately, there exists also very
great and frequently an insarmounta-
BILE prejudice among smokers against
its employment, 1t is the abstinence
from tobacco,

SAGEBRUSH SCREENINGS.

A snow storm set in at Austin on
Monday morning, and continued all
day. The Reveille says much of the
snow melted in the streets, but the
mountains are we'll covered.

At Franklin, Idaho, several nights
ago, Joel Hinckley, agent and telegraph
operator for the Utah & Northern rail-
road, was shot dead in his office by two
masked men. A large number of men
started out to scour the country in
search of the murderers, whose object
in the killing still continues mystery.
The renegade Chief Georges and
seven of his men, the last of all that
were out, were arrested Sunday, by
Major Chaffee, at San Carlos, and are
now iu irons. This is the chief and
party who are accused of taking part in
the killing of citizens and soldiers, on
the road between Forts Thomas and
Apache, in September.
For several nights past, says the Eu-
reka Sentinel, games of chance about
town have had veritable boom. Faro
was particularly lively on Saturday
evening, and the banks in number of
saloons were kept open until near day
light on Sunday. At the Palace, after
midnight on Saturday, the crowd in at
tendance was so large that many anxi-
Gus players could not get near the green
table, and S20-pieces appeared as plen-
tiful as victimized stock dealers on
Pine street. Everybody had money,
and everybody wanted to break the
bank.
There were fully sixty goose hunters,
says the Chronicle, scattered along the
shores of Washoe lake last Sunday,
knee deep in the sloughs, from Mill
Station on the east to the Truckee
swamps on the west. A drenching rain
storm set in about half past eight
o'clock, which but slightly dampened
the ardor of the patient sportsmen.
From early morn till dewy eve there
was constant fusilade of firearms
ranging from the Piute single barrel to
the $500 breach. loader of English make.
Thousands of geese were seen and many
shot. One party of three printers got
twenty.three geese. Unusual success
was had by all.

The Christian Messenger saws:

The Christian Messenger says: "For
nearly three months the united petit
tions of Gods people assembled morning,
noon and night to throne of grace, to
spare the life of the President. The
petition was not granted. This has
led to much discussion in the pulpit and
the papers, as to the efficacy of prayer.
Surely, if God answers prayer at all, it
is said, he would have answered this
united, long continued and earnest
supplcaton of his children, and many
are discouraged.

A strange explanation has been un-
earthed of the manner in which certain
freemen of the borough of Grimsby, in
England, five hundred of whom have
just been struck off the roll, originally
had the privilege granted to their an
cestors When Queen Elizabeth visit
ed the place, she was so struck by the
ugliness of the ladies of the borough
that, out of compassion for the poor
men who had to marry them, she put
aside a piece of land, to share of
which each native. born woman was en-
titled on marriage. thus giving to the
