Startling Facts.

NJ. Gustave LIE Bou, the,

states that he finds I'M
some kinds of tobacco al
new alkaloid called colo
dine, which is a liquid Of
agreeable and very pene-
trating odor, and as poi
sonous as nicotine. He
finds that the tobaccos
containing the most col
Iodine and prussic acid are
those Of Havana and Tur-
key. The proportion Of
nicotine absorbed by
smokers varies, but hard
ly ever falls below fifty
centigrams to the hundred
grams of tobacco burnt,
and it is the absorption of
these poisons in small
quantities that makes
smoking injurious to so
many people.
In cigarette smoking
the effects are more rapid
ly developed, because of
the rapid burning Of the
tobacco. A lie a din g
American scientist, in an
article on the dangers of

smoking of tobacco in the

what Congress did Yesterday.

In the United States Senate yes

mittee, Mr.. HOar called attention to the
fact that the title of the bill conveyed
no information of its subject. He

The Place to Go.

Moving day is but few days off,
and many persons are contemplating
having their houses papsred before they
get fixed to rights. There are some,
however that would have their houses
papered, but they think it too expen-
sive. This trouble can be avoided by
calling on the enterprising firm Of Ros-
in Il Bro, No. go West Second street,
who are practical paper hangers and
do most of the work themselves. Their
stock is large and varied, comprising
all the leading grades of paper in the
market, which they buy for cash and
are thus enabled to offer great induce.
ments to their patrons. Those who
wish first-class work done should give
them a call. The first fancy ceiling
ever papered in this city was done by
this firm and was greatly admired.
Their motto is to lead and not to fol
low.

Sergeant Mason,

BALTIMORE, March 2l.-A special
despatch from Washington to the Sun
says:
at matters not how many petitions
are sent him, the President does not in
tend, under any circumstances, TO con-
slider the question of pardoning Ser.
geant Mason or reducing his sentence
for six months at least. If there is q
demand then for it he will consider, but
will not do so now. In the meantime
this may prove blessing in disguise
for Mason, for subscriptions are being
made quite freely in n any sections for
the support of his wife and children. 1t
is thought these subscriptions will
run up to four or five thousand dol
lars. Mrs. Mason just now is in need
of money. None of the expenses of
Mason's trial have yet been paid.
