Smoke on Tap.


We understand that some cnterprisng
young men Of this city, acting on the
plan Of the steam supply company, are
forming company to supply smokers
with tobacco smoke. They will start up
with Il capital Of $4,000, s., 600 Of which
will be invested in large mcerchaum
pipe, something like cauldron kettle,
to be centrally located, from which SER
vice pipes will reach in all directions.
Pressure will be applied and the cool,
pure smoke forced through all the rami-
ticatlons of the system Of tubes. 1t is
claimed by the projectors that the plan
possesses features that will bring it ut
once into favor with smokers, and that it
will be much cheaper, besides doing
away with the trouble and annoyance Of
Keeping II pipe, q tObacCO-pouch, and
matches. IT Is estimated that the aver
age smoker consumes IN hours time
each day III Keeping a pipe in on
der, IN borrowing tobacco, and in
hunting up match, which is liable to
20 out, which amounts to fifteen days
time IN year, and this at - a day
amounts to an aggregate Of $l5 All
this viii DE saved by hayluga convenient
coil of tubing and nice amber mouth
piece, which the smoker can take mp ut
any time and find already lighted and
'goinP" 1t is also shown that u man
who smokes pipe smokes more than is
good for him, as ne always smokes it
out from force Of habit, while, by the
new plan he will only take few whill.s
to take the rabbit fur out Of his mouth
and clear his brain, when he will lay the
subject aside for future reference. The
company will guarantee iirst-class to-
bacco-no dog-lcg brand, or 'dry re-
mOyal' stuff from the sewers being per.
mlttcd to be thrown in by the fireman ut
the central ofIic"-and the smoke will be
thoroughly dcnicotinzcd hy passing it
through tank Of rose water, thus avoid
ing that unpleasant sensation caused by
tipping pipe up, carcIcssIy, and getting
taste Of something like Lake Superior
whisky or OIL Of vitrIol. Nothing will be
left undOnc for the comfort Of patrons,
and II gcntlcmanly collector will call oncc
month and take the meter. There does
not seem to be any possible chance for
the failure of the scheme, and ii is dcs-
tined soon to rank alongside of the tclr-
phone and milk wagon, rs one Of the
conyenienccs and luxurics worked ont
for humanity by the inventive genius Of
the nineteenth century, It will be
nothing less than IL giant stride in to-
bacco smoke progress. -PcchS SIM.

JANUARY 10, 1881.
The weather shot off Saturday night on
another tangent, and followed it up last
night with more OF the same kind. The
new sort OF weather in question was rain !;
but the difference between the rain OF Sat
urday night and that OF last night was that
the former froze as II fell, while that OF Sum
day night came down in flood, and this
morning being warm and clear, the thaw-
ing process continues. The river Is apt TO
rise under these frequent contributions.
Meantime, the weather has resolved Itself
INTO mud, which prevails very liberally
everywhere, and which reaches to an I'm.
known depth.
Farmers hereabouts take comfort In the
recent extreme cold, because they state that
they expect II will kill out many OF the in
secfs and other vermin OF the fields that
have lately been so destructive. Thev say
that the recent mild winters have failed to
kill out the Qua and tarU9 OF the bugs and
worms, and that the great destruction
wrought by the tobacco.6es and Other
creatures has resulted. IL Is TO be hoped
that their expectations may be realized.

1t is worthy OF special and honorable
mention that the authorities OF the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio railroad have furnished
the Council of Farmylle with fifty or more
cords OF wood for distribution among the
needy and suffering. "Without distinction
az race or COLOR" 1t was a most timely re-

The weather on Sunday seemed 10 reach
its CLIMAX in point of inclemency. The
rain which fell on Saturday night formed a
thick coating Of ice upon the streets, and
houses and trees, and put an almost eflcc-
tllal embargo on out-Of-door travel. Added
10 this the rain continued falling the entire
day. Services at the churches were very
SHINY attended in the morning, and at
night very few Of :he churches were opened
for worship. IL was really unsafe 10 walk

tured out had falls, though fortunately very
few accidents OF any severity are reported.
