 It is a mean thing to send boy out to talk, his place in society without under standing the relations of temperance to his own safety and prosperity, and to the safety and prosperity of society. or course the great barrier between the youth and correct knowlege the great mystifier and misleader--is respectable society.
 This is practically saying to the young, pretty universally, that wine is good thing.
 Fine dinners are never given without It, and good men and women drink it daily.
 They do not get drunk, they may be conscientious and religious, and many of them not only do not regard wfne- drinking. as harmful, but as positively beneficial.
 The boy and the young man see all this, and think, naturally, that those who have experience in drink should know better about it's results than those who let drink alone.

Recently, however, the manu- lecturers have discovered that this paper IS used for making cigars, which are sub sequently exported from Cuba to all of the world as genuine Havana tobacco.
 It's conversion into imitation leaf is effected as follows It is thoroughly soaked in a solution composed of tobacco refuse boiled in water, then dried and pressed between stamps. w,hich. .iu2Aa st ~ 1t apla.ssafig's 0ta tilS IIlest les4 so ex- actIy as tc defy detection on the part of the most experienced tobacco-sorters.

As we are informed, a slight difference of weight between the genuine and the spurious cigar of identical brand and size affords the only certain means of detecting this fraud, so absolutely alike in all their external features are the weeds really made of tobacco and their counter~ felt presentments in straw paper.

As we predicted two weeks ago, the Dem
ocrats have availed themselves Of their &C
c:aental majority in the U. S. Senate, and
have elected one of their number, Senator
Bayard, as presiding officer, thus giving the
country, virtually, a Republican President
and a Democratic Vice President. Should
President Arthur die in Office this would give
US q Democratic administration, and should
this event occur any considerable tme be-
fore 1884, it would give the Democrats an
immense advantage in the next Presidential
e%lAction, an advantage which, 50 even is the
numerical strength of the two parties now,
would no doubt give them the victory. Da-

THE Benton Board Of Trade; is evidently
a thing of the past. A meeting was called
for last Monday evening at the Court House,
for the purpose of electing officers and direc-
tors, and a notice to that effect was Inserted
in Mondays Record, signed by the Secretary.
Mr.. Rasin had the room prepared for the
meeting, lights burning, and q warm fire,
and waited for the Board to put in an ap.
pearance. About eight o'clock w. !. Wet.
eel arrived, and a little later w. Fl. Todd, and
these were all. They stayed but a few min
utes, and after a time Mr.. Rasin (our inform.
anti locked up and left. No other mem.
bers of the Board were On hand, not even the
Secretary who had issued the call. Mir. 4.
z. Collins, the President, was away from
home, Mr.. JOS. 8. Hill was absent, and the
only officer present was the Treasurer, Mr,
Todd.
The Board Of Trade was organized a year
ago, and for some time the Members seemed
to take considerable interest in the meetings,
but after a while the interest Jagged, the at
tendance became simmer with each succeed.
ing meeting, and for some time past the
meetings themselves have been abandoned.
An attempt was make a few weeks ago tc
bring the Board together, but there was nc
quorum. Monday night probably settled it.

effects of such an organization. We trust
that the body will be rescusitated, and that
