The Excursion Cigar.

Botanists in search of new varieties
of plant life will be standing in their
own light If they do not examine some
of the cigars sold at watering places
near New York. A good dinner may
be bought for a small sum and the wine
is not absolutely poisonous. but when
the cigars are served the man who has
ever smoked q cigar really worth 5
cents finds himself lost in wonder and
disgust. principally the latter. II the
persons under whose auspices the cigar
stands are managed want to discourage
the smoking habit they have hit upon
the right plan. but as philanthropy
that var against the pocket is not
characteristic Of owners of steamboat
lines and big hotels. it must be admit
ted that the cigars are made to be sold.
The proper place tor most of them
would be the proposed furnace for the
consumption of the city's garbage.
There are such things as good cigars on
sale by New York reporters and manu-
~facturers, but retailers along the vari-
Gus beaches do not seem to know where
to get them.
