MRS. ANN DEMPSEY, of No. 281
North Sixth-st., Brooklyn, was hori-
bly, burned by fire caused by the ex-
plosion Of a kerosene lamp Tuesday
evening. The other occupants Of the
house were startled by her screams as
she rushed through the hallway with
her clothes blazing. By determined
efforts the flames We're put out, but
not until nearly all the woman 5
clothes were burned of and the flesh
was burned in many places. She was
removed to ST. Catharine's Hospital.
Her recovery is considered doubtful.
1t is charged by one Of the neighbors
that James Dempsey, husband Of the
injured woman, threw the lighted
kerosene lamp at her, causing the ex-
plosion. He was arrested and held on
the charge, which he denies, saying
the lamp fell from the mantel. Mrs
Dempsey also denies that the lamp
was thrown at her, and says that hel
husband staggered against the mantel-
piece and accidentally knocked the
lamp down Dempsey was drunk
when arrested.-N. Y. Tribune.

Has your accomplished host the
smallest idea of his own responsibility
in the case? Not he! and you open
not your mouth to accuse him. In
deed, if you once do this, can you ever
shut it? For alas wherever you go
to post-office, market, or store, to do
an errand or to call on friend-still
that everlasting perfume! You en-
counter it on land and water, going
out and coming in, walking and rid
ing, in omnibuses, cabs, and cars.
Even through the pretense Of its ban
ishment from the latter the all-per-
vading breath of the inveterate smo-
ker or chewer catches you before and
behind, on your right hand and on
your left, while from the smoking
cars comes floating in that indeScriba-
bic tobacco-laden air.
You purchase a garment; but when
it reaches home yol perceive the same
sickening smell, and before you can
wear it you are obliged to give it a
thorough airing.
You lend book. 1t comes back
telling the same stale story. So that,
too, must be ventilated.
Stopping transiently at some board
ing-house, you go to your room, and
have occasion to open little bureau
drawer. There rushes forth an often
siye stencil, that almost knocks you
down. 1t is as if the long-impris oned
ghosts of a thousand cigars were strug-
Cling to escape.
You go into the temple Of the Lord.
II has got there before you. Hospi-
tably inclined, you open your pew
door to a stranger He no sooner en-
ters than you repent Of your good
deed; for with him enters such an Of
fensive odor that all your comfort in
the service has disappeared.
Now, there are common civilities
which it is not expected any true man
will violate. To refrain from smok-
ing or chewing in the presence of 9TH
ers is no special virtue, any more than
to refrain from rude elbowing and
crowding and stepping Oh your neigh
boris toes. To insist, however, on do

The publ; highway is not smok-
ing-room; and, if it would be regard

carry around with him assafedita or
any other vile compound, and to fling

THE Stubbs bill, as it passed the
Legislature, is a snare and delusion.
The idea that ale and beer should not
be put on the same plane as whisky,
brandy, &C., as intoxicants, is simply a
cowardly concession to the beer inter-
ests. Beer makes more men drunk
than whisky, and does more to beget
drinking and drunkenness.-BelJ0n-
tai,se Republican.
And tobacco does more than either
to debauch the human race. 1t does
so mainly, because it forms the first
unnatural appetite for something to
stimulate, which in after life seeks to
satiate it's desires in something
stronger. We think it can be success
tully shown that ninety-nine out of
every hundred drunkards, laid the
ground workof desire for stimulating
liquors III tobacco. But nevertheless.
almost every young man in our cities,
towns and villages, and very MANY
throughout the country, are taking =,
the pernicious habit, expecting that it
will lead them no further; but alas
the experience of countless thousands
shows that the habit does lead them
further. The question is, what are
we to do with this foolish young gem
Grafton who are thoughtlessly creating
unnatural appetites and taking on
bodily infirmities which will cause
many of them to fall before they live
out half their days? 1t is hard to
make young men believe truth which
millions have admitted in after years,
and which they too will admit after
they have passed to the point where
they can find no road that will return
them to health and self respect

Is it strange that a woman should
be unwilling to share mans heart
with so base a rival, getting the
smaller share at that? Nay, is it not
the wonder of wonders that any
woman should feel otherwise?
May we not in the fact that not a
few wives and sisters and mothers,
from the lack Of information on the
subject and a loving readiness to sac
rifice their own comfort to the graft
fcation Of their dear ones, submit
quietly to this ever-encroaching des-
pot-ln this fact may we not find
slight explanation for the enslaved
offenders?
Sure [ am that, were this fearful
tobacco problem fully comprehended,
every true woman's principles would
forbid her to condone SO grave an
offense-an offense which puts in
jeopardy the health not only of the
wrong-doer, but in a greater or less
degree that Of his whole family, which

All honor to the brave New Eng
land girl who, in uttering her pro
test against tobacco, declares "that
there is one girl firmly resolved never
to marry a man who uses tobacco,
and to do what she can by prayer and
works to break up this growing evil"
In her own family she had so learned
this evil by heart that she could not
help lifting up her voice. Are there
not many other American girls who
will join her ranks, and thus present
a fair, solid front to the invading &c?

h.iio., yoked to one who makes use of
it perpetually. The health Of many a
wife has been sacrificed by such a
union. But has not the husband suf-
ficient love, or even common gallantry,
to abandon the habit he formed before
marriage? Not he! In the scales are
placed on the one hand his wife, and
on the other his ugly brown idol; and
the latter outweighs the former.
