United States Commissioner Keasbv.
lie is charged by the United States DIS
Iict Attorney with having robbed the
bank OF $4,000. Cashier Baldwin
knew OF the crime and drove MARCH,
bank out of the bank. Baldwin was
AFRAID to make the matter known lest
his own villainy would come out, aud
he managed to hoodwink the Directors,

he (baldwln) would make the deficiency
good. The bail in Marchbank's case
has been fixed at $4,000. lie IS now
trying to find bondsmen. He is q prom.

recently nominated for Member of AS.

This new revelation has greatly
strengthened the growing belief that
Baldwin still lies, and that Nugept is
not at all as bad as painted by Bald

his property is gone. An old resident
of Belleyille said
"Marchbank has bought e great deal

Mexico.

There is something chaTaeteristicallY
American in the nerve which has AMI
mated capitalists, and in the energy
displayed by projectors and workers,
in the extension of our railroad system
into our sister Republic, Mexico. 1t
is country of which comparatively
little has been generally known either
as to its material resources or Its real
political condition. There has been
lazy sort of impression that Mexico
was pariah among nations-a country
not only of poverty of natural re-
sources aside from its mInes) but
with what little nature had given it
rendered hopelessly unavailable by
low condition of political and social
morals. This impression, as regards
resources, the well-informed have long
known to be incorrect. Well applied
industry and science can do wonders
with the soil, as has been demonstrate
ed, While thousands of her acres are
irrecoverably "bad country" or NAL
pals as 1t is termed, vast tracts now
unproduc tive only need irrigation to
become richly fertile. Where the
soil is good it is famOusly so, and most
bountiful crops are produced. Physi-
cally Mexico consists OF a series of vast
plateaus of various attitudes descend
ing in terraces to either coasts. She
thus has every diversity of climate and
consequently a most remarkable war;
ETY. of vegetable products. These eli
matte divisions are so well marked as
to receive specific names. They are
termed TIerras Calientes, the lowest
lands In altitude, with a meal n annual
temperature of II degrees; the Tierras
Templanas, the next in latitude, with
equable temperature varying only from
20 degrees to so degrees, and the Tier
ras Frias, the highlands, where the
temperature ranges from &C degrees to
Is degrees. There is thus a wide range
from tropical heat to, on the noun
tains, glacial cold. Energized labor,
and transportation facilities TO render
the results OF such labor negotiable,
can easily make Mexico prolific in
agricultural as well as mineral pro-
ducts and can vastly enhance the
available value of the latter.

In further research on this subject
DIR. LeBon finds that collidine, the
new alkaloid existing in tobacco smoke
with other aromatic principles, and
prussic acid, as well as nicotlne), is a
liquid of agreeable and very penetrat-
ing odor, and as poisonous as nicotine,
the twentieth part of one drop sufficing
to paralyze and kill frog. 1t is the
prussic acid and various aromatic prin-
ciples that cause headache, giddiness,
and nausea in smoking certain tobac-
cos that contain little nicotine. other
tobaccos, rich in nicotine, have no
such effects. The tOhaccOes CO: tanning
most prussic acid and collidine are
those of Havana and tie Levant. The
dark semi liquid matter which con-
denses in pipes and cigar-holders con-
taius all the substances just named, as
well as carbonate of ammonia, tarry
and coloring matter, etc. 1t is very
poisonous; two or three drops of it wi
kill small animal The combustion
of tobacco destroys but a small part OF
the nicotine, and most of this appears
in the smoke. The proportion absorbed
by smokers varies according to circum-
stances, but hardly ever falls below so
eentigrammcs per 100 gramnes OF
tobacco burnt. About the same quanti-
ty of ammonia is absorbed at the same
time. Naturally, more of the poison
GUS principles are absorbed where the
smoke Is breathed las in ROOM less
In open air. A frog placed in re-
ceiver containing solution of nico-
tine, with about one drop of that sub
stance to a little water, succumbs in
few hours. Tobacco smoke contaiHs
about s millilimeters Of car bonic oxide
per 100 grammes of tobacco burnt. The
poisonous properties of tobacco smoke
are not due To this gas, as hes been
maintained in GERMANY.

Tne uses of paper board have recent

The uses of paper board have recent
ly. been multiplied, and its durability
greatly Increased by the following I'M
provement in its manufacture When
sheet of paper is immersed in an am
moniacal solution of copper, and then
dried, it is found to be quite impregna-
BILE to water, and does not lose thi,
quality even though the water be boil
ing. Two sheets of paper thus prepar-
ed, and passed through a cylinder, adj
here to each Olher so completely as to
be quite inseparable; If, then, a con-
siderable number of sheets SO prepared
be cylindered together, boards OF
great thickness are Obtainable, the re-
sistaHce and cohesion of which may be
increased by interposing fibrOus mat
ters or cloths. Thus prepared, the
substance is quite as hard as the clos
est grained wood of the same thickness.
The ammoniacal solution of copper is
prepared by treating plates OF copper
with ammonia, of the density Of $50,
in contact With the atmosphere.
