A CELESTIAL SIN.
The Opium Habit As Patronized in the
Fort,

Yung Lee, the keeper OF the opium
Joint on Main street, who was arrested
Tuesday, had his case postponed until
this morning in the city court.
The minimum fine for this offense
is ten dollars, but 1t Is to be
hoped that such severe punishment
will be melted out in this case as will
intimidate Iung Lee from the further
pursultof his pernicious profession. The
Joint seems to have been opened. very
recently, and adjoins Chinese lauD-
dry. Investigating the subject OF
opium smoking in this city, a GA
zEIyrE reporter was told by Marshal
Rea that the habitants OF the joints
are chiefly abandoned women
and their admirers, and that even
among them the practice Is not In
vogue to any great extent.
In fact, the business Is patron

NEW York, April l5.--Mr. Clarence
Morrison of Wait, Creighton & Morri-
son, No. 81 Wall street. 1--WE don't
look for any general advance In the
price Of rice since the war between
France and China closed. Most Of the
rice Is grown In the East Indies and
Japan, and Ia imported by China. II
was IN declared between England and
Russia, then IL will improve the rice
trade, because Russia's supply OF &C.
reals, chiefly corn, will not reach
European markets AS usual, She will
require IL all for her own use, and will
have to import The diverting OF Rus.
slas surplus OF corn from its regular
markets will cause much rice to be
used as substitute. Our trade in that
article, as well as corn, will be consid-
erably improved. Grain foods have
increased In price from 5 To l0per cent.
In Europe, and our market has stiff
eened In consequence"

Plain Questions,

Mythical ideas are flaming the public brow with the breath ofpre judice. ignorance and humbuggery. Have you the rcmotest idea that your scrofiila was created by the use of potash and mercury No other remedies. Do you presume that your troublesome catarrh is the result of mineral poisoning? B. B. B. is the quickest remedy. Are your chronic ulcers and boils and sores the result of potash and mercury9 Medical gentlemen will tell you so, but B. E. E. is the only sovereign remedy. Were your terrible kidney troubles created by mineral poisoning2 Not a blt of it, but B. B. B. has proven to be a reliable remedy. Are your skin diseases, your eczema, dry letter, etc., the effect of too much potash and mercury? The medical profes- si on are the best judges, and they say nay, but E. E. E. makes more pronounced cures than all other preparations combined.
