COMMERCIAL.


SATURDAY, October I4h, 1852.
BUSINESS during the past week has been quite
active, the settlement u quarterly accounts being
very prompt, and many large orders on plantation
account having been filed. We have had but one
arrival from tina Coast. the Caibarien, since our
last report, and one departure for san Francisco,
the Hawaiian bark Kale, with sugar she taking
an aggregate Of 353, 49s lbs and 5i7, 500 lbs Of
rice.
The receipts Of Domestic Produce during the
week have been, Sugar, 1921; package; Paddy,
1897; Molasses, $50.
The ship Niagara. from San Francisco. laden with
grain arrived here in distress on the 10th, and Is
now ashore on the reef. An investigation will be
made into the causes that lead TO her being lost at
the entrance 20 the haTbor- Her cargo Of $1,000
bushels % wheat valued at $50, 35f, will be almost a
total loss, a. part q it was ietsoned in the cyclone
that disabled her. and u the balance only about 400
tons has been landed here, and at last reports the
remainder was all ahoat in the ships hold.
The ship Hope from Port TOWNSEND bound FOR
Valparaiso with a cargo Of lumber put in here YES

It will be seen that the Bird quarter of 1882 shews
the largest receipts Of any in the history Of the
!. Custom House and that it may be added that
September was the month Of largest receipts. The
total receipts for 1882 will probably foot up

The new steamer Of the P.M.S.S. Co.. the San
Jose, will not be put upon the route between this
port and San Francisco as contemplated an
arrangement having been made with the Oceanic
SIS. Co., by which the two lines will not interfere
with each other in the carrying trade.
A recent case in Court here, brings to mind the
law passed in 1876, by the terms Of which seventy
five per cent. Of all amounts over $50 90 due on
any account can be claimed in gold unless the
contract distinctly specifies that payment shall be
made in silver coin"

Writing with Lemon juice.

Father John Gerard, Of the Society of
Jesus. who was confined and cruelty
tortured il the Tower of London at the
eril OF Queen EIizabeth's reign, was in
The L;.!,ie Of Writing letters in orange or
lemon juice to his friends. The manner
IL winch he thus bofied the vigilance of
mis- jailers is described in detail in his
notwithstanding autobiography, pub
lished few Years ago by the Rev. John
Morris. Father Gerard says:
Now, lemon juice has this property,
that what is written in it can be read in
water quite as well as by fire, and when
the paper is dried the writing disappears
again till it is stepped afresh, or again
held to the fire. But anything written
with orange juice is at once washed out
by water. and cannot be read at all that
way; and If held to the fire, though the
characters are thus made to appear, they
vii net disappear, so that letter of this
sort, once read, can never be delivered to
any one as if it had no: been read. The
party will see at once that it has been
read, and will certainly refuse and dis
own'it # it should contain anything dan
gerous."
One result of Father Gerard's orange.
juice correspondence was that, with the
aid of Jealous friends outside, he effected
his escape from the Tower in 1897.

Science and History.

NJ. Renan has, In an interesting pas.
sage of his own autobiography, given it
as his belief that century hence man
kind will study very little else than
physical science. The time, he thinks,
will come when the historical sciences
will be thrust into the back ground; oil
that they have to teach will be known.
and men will feel comparatively little
interest in their own past. On the other
hand, the more they know of nature the
more there will be to be known. Chem
istry and physiology offer inexhaustible
fields for research and the truths which
they reveal viii prove more and more
interesting to mankind. It is very DIFF
actait to say what men will think or TO
a hundred years hence but it seems
likely enough that this viii be the ten
dency of study. Certainly, even now.
the men of science are becoming more
and more important factors in the life of
all of us. They are..iittle by little WIN
ming the fight against diseased; they are
giving us facts, and enabling us to found
our beliefs on the sure ground of knowl-
edge. Their influence must surely be-
come greater and greater as time goes
on; for humanity always reserves its
highest honors for those who teach it 10

The Origin OF Tobacco.

There has been not little research
certainly as much as the matter de-
serves-in regard to the first discovery
and use of tobacco, but the subject is
still enveloped in the clouds and smoke
OF uncertainty. It has been claimed
that the U.S. Of tobacco was known in
China from very remote antiquity, as it
has been very extensively cultivated
there and in Japan, and in some Of the
oldest pieces of carving and porcelain
paintings much the same pipe as that
now used by the Chinese in smoking to-
bacco Is represented. Some conjecture
that the North American Indians immi-
grated from Asia by way of Behring
straits to the American continent, bring
ing tobacco and certain Asiatic customs
with them. The name tobacco or toba-
go, Is variously derived by some from
Iabacco, province of Yucatan; by 9TH
ers from Tobago, one of the Carib
islands; by few from Tobasco. in the
Gulf OF Florida; by Humboldt from the
Carib name Of the tube or pipe in which
the Caribs smoke the herb, and which
name he thinks the early discoveries of
the West Indies transferred to the plant
itself, and disseminated through all Eu-
rope. When Columbus came he found
the red man smoking the pipe, and he
Is smoking it yet, though it is not al
ways the calumet, or pipe of peace. He
found some tribes who made the weed
into cylindrical rolls and smoked these.
wrapped in strips of maize leaf. Had
the use Of tobacco been common in
China, even from remote antiquity, MS
some claim. it seems very probable that
its use would have spread from there to
other nations, especially when we re-
member with what rapidly it extended
after It's discovery in this country, four
centuries ago. And this rapid spread
was despite the efforts of Kings, Popes
and Sultans to prevent it. King James
l. OF England issued Counterblaste
to Tobacco" declaiming against it as
"loathsome to the eye, hateful to the
nose. hurtful to the brain, dangerous to
the lungs, and in the black, stlnking
fumes thereof nearest resem bling the
horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that
IS bottomless." Popes Urban VIII. and
innocent Xl. Illuminated against it the
tnunders of the church, and priests and
Suitans Of Turkey declared smoking a
crime; Amurath ". punished its use
by the most cruel deaths, the pipes of
the smokers being thrust through their
noses; and IN Russia, in the earlier part
OF the seventeenth century, the noses of
smokers We're cut off. But in spite of
all this, the use of tobacco rapidly in
creased wherever introduced. Tobacco
gets its botanical name (nicotiana) from
Jean Moot, who introduced it into
France from Lisbon in 1860.

He holds that the national debt should
not be deducted from the aggregate Of
wealth since most Of that debt is held in
the United States, and the same may be
said Of most of our other local debts.
He thinks that European emigration to
this country has tended to the increase
of public wealth, but at the same time
the rapid increase OF population has
served to keep down the ratio OF wealth
per inhabitant, and this is particularly
observable in the last decade. He SAYS
that the growth of wealth in the decade
just ended is sufficient to buy up the
whole Austrian empire, or pay for the
aggregate value of Italy, Holland and
Belgium. Notwithstanding this fact,
the average per capita Of wealth is less
in the United States than in Great
Britain or France, and Mr.. Muihall fur
nishes the following in proof OF this
fact:

He furnishes the figures to show that
our manufactures have increased five.
fold since 1850. The most remarkable
increase has been in the manufacture of
iron and cotton. The former has in
creased from $50, 900 to 4,l6O, 900 tons
In ten years, while in the latter the con-
sumption OF raw fiber has risen from
$40, o0O, 900 to 81, 100000 pounds-that
is from fourteen to eighteen pounds per
inhabitant. The following table shows

As regards the items which make up
our wealth, he says that it is easy to
trace their growth. Referring to the
advance OF railways, he points out that
since 1870 their value increased at the
rate of nearly 81, 900, 900 day, Sundays
excepted. The following table shows

MIR. Mulhall holds that our agricult-
ure, more than anything else, shows
the unprecedented rise OF industry in the
United States in one single generation.
He points out that while the population
has only trebled since 1910, the growth
of agricultural interests has been five
foli, and, whether we regard the value
OF crops or OF cattle, the ,r.' capi!a is
about double what it was To-. usage.
