LANCASTER TUBACCO MATTERS.

Tho Market Firm ana Reasonably Active.
There is not much to be said about our
local market. A good many buyers are
on hand, and they traverse the county in
many directions and manage to buy a
good many lots of good tobacco. But the
boom " that prevailed few weeks ago
is at an end for the present and will not
return until after the crop shall have been
stripped. Growers profess to believe they
have very superior leaf and demand big
prices Most buyers prefer to wait awhile
and look at the leaf after it shall be cured.
Thus far all accounts agree that it is cur
ing finely-tho only complaint of the
farmer being that the crop is too short,
while the buyer declares the prices asked
arc too high.
OF old tobacco there was sold in Ian
caster during the past week not less than
1000 cases, perhaps more-thc prices be-
ing private.

Where tie Forests are Going.

To make ahoe pegs enough for
American use consumes annually
100000 cords OF timber, and to
make our luclter matches 800, 900
cubic feet of the best Pine arc re-
quired every year. Lasts and boot
trees take 100000 cords of birch,
beech and maple, and the handles
of tools 100000 more. The bak-
ing of bricks consumes 100000
cords of wood or what would cover
with forest about $4,000 acres ot

represent 500 900 trees, and their
annual repair consumes about 3OO,-
900 mere. The ties OF the rail-

RIaine's Picture of Conklinq.

!Drawn IN 1866, when the New York
representative refused to give way to
the Maine representative, saying
mo. sir, / do not wish to have any
thing to do with the member from
Maine, not even SO much as to yield
him the door."I
As to the gentleman s cruel sar>
casm, l hope he will not be too se-
we're. The contempt of that large
minded gentleman is so willing;
lis naughty disdaip, his graudAo-
quept swell, his majestic, snperem-
insnt, overpcwering, turkeygob-
bier strut, has been SO crushing TO
myself and all the members of this
House, that | know it was an act of
the greatest temerity for me to
venture upon controversy with
him. But, sir, l know who is re-
spons;ble for all this. I know that
within the last fve weeks, as mem
bers Of this House will recollect, an
extra strut has characterized the
gentlemau's bearing. 1t is not his
fault. 1t is the fault of another.
Thas gifted and satirical writer,
Theodore Tilton, of the New York
Independent, spent come weeks
recently in this city. His letters
published in that paper, embraced
with many serious statements, a
little jocose satire, a part of which
was the statement that the mantle
of the late Winter Davis had fallen
upon the member from New York
The gentleman took it seriously,
aud it has given his strut an ad-
ditional promposity. The resem-
blance is great !; it is striking. Hy-
perion to q 'satyr, Thersites to
Hercules, mud to marble, dung
hill to diamand, singed cat to a
Bengal tiger, a whining puppy to
a roaring lion. Shade Of the
mighty Davis! forgive the almost
profana,ion of that jocoss satire.

Corn for Fuel.

In some parts of the West and
Northwest people have been com
PEELED to use corn for fuel this
winter, owing to the scarcity of
coal and wood. A correspondent
Of the St. Paul Pioneer Press
suggests that corn is likely to be
regarded as rhe fnel of the future
in some parts Of the country. Coal
cannot be found, and the constant
use of wood is helping on the cx-
haustion of that material. Accord
ing to the writer referred to, two
or three acres of corn will afford
an ordinary family years supply
of fuel. while the same corn sold
IN the market would not reallzc a
sum sufficient to purchase an
amount of fuel that would last as
long. Corn can be used III either
a wood or coal stove, and when
burning throws ont great heat. AS
to the objection to burning an ar
tic.e Of food, the writer says he
would rather burn an acre OF corn
which can be replaced III a single
year, than an acre OF timber which
it takes years to replace.

For burns or scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg. 1t is softer as a varnish for n
burn than collodion, and being al
ways On hand can be applied i'm
mcdiatcly. 1t it also more cooling
than the ''sweet oil and cotton"
which was formerly supposed to be
the surest application to allay the
slnarting pain, 1t is the contact
with air which gives the extreme
discomfort experienced from ordi-
nary accidents of this kind and
anything which excludes air and
prevents inflammation is the thing to
be at once applied.
The egg is also considered one
of the best remedies for dysentery.
Beaten up slightly with or without
sugar, and swallowed at gulp. it
tends by its emlnolient qualities to
lessen the inflammation of the stom-
ach and intestines, and by forming
Il transient coating on thos. organs
to enable nature to resume her
hcalthfuI sway over the diseased
body. Two, or al mcst, three eggs
per day, would be all that is re-
quired in ordinary cases and since
i the egg is not merely medicine, bu
food as we'll, the lighter the die
otherwise, and the quIeter the pa
tient is kept, the more certain ant
rapid is the recovery.

A Timely Warning, or the Elk
perience of a Minister

If you are suffering from general
debility, brought on by too close ap-
plication to business and excessive
brain work if you suffer from increas-
ing prostration and sinking spells, that
even rest, or removal of the cause
will not relieve, make haste to do as
did reverend friend of ours. He
had his druggist procure for him a
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters, having
heard of its merit from an eastern
friend, a physician, who told him not
to be pursuaded to take any other
Bitters or Tonic, for we'll he knew that
with the exception of Browns Iron
Bitters, they all contain alcohol, and
had failed to give his patients lasting
relief; nor should he take any other

DoouK people forget that every day,
every hour'th that rolls past brings forth
another day, another hour, that is
nearer our dissolution, is nearer the
eventful hour when we must close the
doors of our business, and death must
separate us from the unbalanced COL
nmns of our ledgers, and the unfnish-
ed contracts that in life we obligate ?
Do we forget that the tenderest infant
that we watch with pridein his feeblest
efforts to stand erect must eventually
sit behind our desk, and be the same
stern and responsible man of business
We see'around us now? The RESPONSE
bility and glory Of the Commonwealth
depends on the rising generation, and
whether that coming generation will
keep stride with the rapid march of
learning, whether they will be able to
conduct our business, whether they
will be competent to fill the hall of
legislation, depends upon us.
Our people certainly do not expect
their sons to grow up untutored, un-
polished, and the mere laboring kinds
for other people, yet they know it is
their inevitable fate unless they are
educated. The question is, will the
people make one effort in conjunction
with the committee here, to provide
for their children's welfare, or will
they persist in depriving their precious
ofsprings from this priceless inherit.
