smokers will put a small quantity of
table salt in the bottom of their pipes
pack the tobacco down tight, and
smoke it, they will be relieved of all
nervousness, as the salt will gather
and retain the nicotine. TIE salt

A man in England who had been
drunk for thirty years, died few
hours after SOLDERING up. There is a
terrible lesson in this incident that
should be needed. 1t teaches that a
man should either not get drunk or
else never sober up-we can't for the
life of us tell which.

In speaking Of the cowardly habit
Of pistol carrying-a habit that is the
cause Of nine-tenths Of the murders
committed in our own State--the Mo-
bile Register says: at must be admit
ted that with the growth Of this coun-
try and with its advancement in civil
ization crime should have decreased.
IL can not be truthfully said that this
is the case. Without seeking other
causes il can be asserted without fear
Of contradiction that one reason for
this is the criminal habit of carrying
concealed weapons. We use the word
criminal advisedly, for whatever is
contrary to law is criminal. We do
not consider il the mark of brave
man to carry concealed weapons, but
rather the contrary. OF course there
are circumstances under which carry
ing them is Justlfiable, but for man
to put on his pistol in the morning as
regularly as he puts on his coat does
no credit to him as citizen nor as a
man. Especially is this a dangerous
habit in the young. Many of them
think that it is manly. Poor fools.
True manhood consists in courage of
soul, in daring to do right, in abhor-
ring bullying, braggadOcio and rowdy-
ism. Let a thin-skinned youth of vi
olent temper and great ideas of his
own Importance and honor-heaven
save the mark--stick pistol habitu.
ally in his pocket, and he is making
Of himself a dangerous element in a

they discovered that she was out Of

without her notes or with them either,
some Of the people who had coaxed
her into it were mean enough to say
so. The moral is contained in the fol.

The action of Col. Jones friends in
Morgan county in holding conven-
ton last week, is transparent. Morgan
county is the home Of Capt. Henry
and it was intended to give Col. Jones
a send-off in the mountains among
Capt. Henry's friends. 1t is now be-
ing heralded abroad that the first bat
tie has been won by Col. Jones, but If
his friends think it will amount to
much, they are mistaken. In the first
place no legal convention was held, as
the day appointed for codnty conven-
tons is yet three months off Capt
Henry himself, if we are correctly in
formed, will not support Col. Jones,
and there is no significance whatever
in the premature action of Morgan

President Arthur this morning said his
plans for leaving Washington tomorrow
had been somewhat disarranged, and
that he will probably not start for Flor
ida for several davs. tits surmised from
this remarA that the President had been
advised by Brewster that the appoint
ment of successor to Howe must be
made within ten days from the da'e Of
the latter's death, and the President de-
lays departure in order to determine this
question.
The opinion of the attorney general on
the subject of the Presidents power in
regard to filling the vacancy in the post
Office department is, in effect, that the
President can make only temporary
designations for ten days, but the attor-
ney general holds that the first assistant
postmaster general can legally hold the
postmaster generalship for ten days
without such designation. BY this con-
struction of the law the President is al
lowed twenty days from the creation of
the vacancy within which to make the
appointment The President will proba-
