(From Chambers Journall
The tobacco trade, possibly, has more
mysteries than any other in this age of
commercial immortality. It is almost as
difficult to purchase a good cigar pro-
miscuously IN Havana as it is In London;
unless you know the right shop to go to,
you are as likely to buy Whitechapel
and Bremen denominations, exported
from Europe for the purpose, and put
up in the most orthodox Habana :"
boxes. In Vera Cruz you may buy cigars
for five sbillings hundred, which the
vendors for few cents extra will pack
and label with the name of some famous
brand. So they will in Porto Plata or
San Domingo. So they used in Brazil;
but Balkan and other Brazilian cigars
have now made their own name, and
have established an honorable claim to
be considered among the best cheap
cigars in the world. 1t is impossible to
get an inexpensive good cigar IN Cuba
itself; the best brands are never ex-
ported, for few people here would care
to give half "a crown or three shillings
apiece for their "smokes, which the
wealthy Cuban-who consumes them
soft and green, wrapping them in oiled
silk to preserve the havor-pays on the
spot. There is much in a name. Thou
sands of really excellent weeds are made
in England and Germany from good raw
tobacco imported for the purpose; but it
would never do to offer them for sale as
British or German produce. What
charm lies liz the words ''Vuelta AbaJo,"
to be read on your cigar-boxes! Vuelta
Abaio is a small district between Havana
and Santiago, consisting of few acres
of land only, now in possession of two or
three of the richest planters in the
island; and probably not an atom of the
tobacco-noted for its richness-which
is grown there finds its way beyond
their own alright bladder cigar
pouches, or those of their intimate

A Confederate Christmas,

On Christmas day, 1852, when con-
federate money had begun to depreciate,
turkeys IN Virginia were worth 81
apiece, salt thirty-three cents pound,
while "the yule log" was SIS cord;
irecrackers were SIS pack. In 1868
turkeys had risen to $50 apiece; whisky
and rum for egg nog, cost $75 gallon;
sugar was from S. to $40 a pound, -four
$125 a barrel. Gold was at premium
of 50, 800, and plain Christmas dinner
cost about $500. In 1864 -four was $500
a barrel; butter $40 a pound, and sugar
s. an ounce. At Christmas dinner at
a country house near Richmond, they
had for dinner a $500 ham and the last
turkey on the plantation, value $175,
with 500 worth of cabbage, potatoes
and hominy. Corn bread was served,
made of meal at $50 bushei and salt at
81 a pound. The desert was black mo-
lasses at $50 gallon, and after one cup
of tea-real tea, worth 500 pound,
treasured for the occasion as a surprise,
and not sassafras-there was coffee a
discretion, made from sweet potatoes
cut into small squares toasted and
ground. --s

Did the Ancient Arabs Lie ?

An Arabic manuscript, dating from
the latter half of the fourteenth century
(1365), conveys the curious information
that the merchant vessels trading at that
time in the Indian Ocean carried four
divers, whose duties were solely to dis
cover and stop leaks in the hull of the
craft below the water line. Sound of the
trickling water indicated the points of
danger.

Am Urgent CaIl ON Congress.

ST, LOUIS, Dec, GA meeting of wholesale
tobacco manufacturers held here this morning
was attended by about forty representatives of
large concerns in this city and by some coun-
try traders. Col. J. G. Butler, of Butler County
presided, and q. II. Donaldson acted as secro-
tary. After discussion u resolution was adopted
aIking three things; First, requesting Congress
to entirely abolish the tax on tobacco; second.
that the tax be abolished Ms quickly as po !.
sible and third that rebate be allowed on
all unbrolIen packages in the hands of Zeal.
ers at the time eff such abolition. This I'd olu-
tion will be circulated through the Stag, for
the signatures of dealers, and then forNs rded
10 the Missouri delegation in Congress. Man
ufacturers claim that the uncertainty as 10 the
action Of Congress is paralyzng the trad, and

RECLAIMING GRAZING LANDS.
What May Result from the Sinking o
Artesian Wells i'm Colorado.

Artesian Wells in Colorado.
The success which has attended the sinking
of an artesian we'll on the arid lands 100 miles
east of Denver is important to all that section
of the country. In the telographic columns
of The REPUBLICAN yesterday intelligence
was conveyed of the striking of an inexhausti-
BILE spring of clear water by the government
contractor in charge of the artesian well ex-
pertinent and Secretary Teller was interviewed
last evening with regard to the importance
of the find" He said that the discovery
that water could be obtained in that section
of the country, through the agency of arte-
sian wells, could not be otherwise than crafty
ing to the people interested but that in his
estimation irrigation of the soil for agricul-
tural purposes by such means would be i'm
practicable .u account of the cost. One well
would iriigate only few acres, probably not
more than five or six, sufficiently for successful
cultivation, and the sinking of enough wells
to supply any considerable extent of territory
would be too costly to be profitable. For
watering stock, however such wells would
prove invaluable. 1t often occurs that cattle
have to travel ten and twelve miles from their
ranges for water, and that, on account of the
distance, many ofthe best grazi e e districts have
to be abandoned entirely. The sinking of
artesian wells, if the work can be done with
out too great an outlay, may result in the
reclamation of many excellent ranges which
are now practically useless. With regard to
the work on the well in question, Mr.. Teller
had no information not given in the published
telegram, and he could not, therefore, go into
1atails

Clamor VIII Not Save Them.

As was probably expected, the removals of
Marshal Henry and Postmaster Anger have
aroused the injudicious opposition of some
ill-naturcd journals and tho old abusive
camor against the President has again been
resurrectcd. The chief objection among these
short-sighted editors to President Arthur's
action seems to be that Marshal Henry was
appointed by President Garfield and should
therefore have been allowed to remain in his
position, no matter how incompetent or un-
worthy he may have been. This is sheer
nonsense. The only trouble with the dis
missal of Henry is that it should have taken
place weeks ago. The Nation will heartily
support the President in Kidding the District
of one of the star-route gangs hirelings, who
has aided those desperate criminals in their
attempts to escape the punishment they so
richly deserve,
