1T is we'll known that France, like
some other European nations,
monopolizes to itself the trade in to-
bacco. The following latest official
returns concerning this tradein France
are interesting, as showing the extent
of the business and the profit under
all the monopoly of the French gov
eminent. The total of the leaf tobac-
co delivered by planters to the govern-
ment for the year was 4O,786, 900
pounds, valued at $2,999,OOO. The
aggregate leaf tobacco and cigars i'm
ported reached 98,895, 900 pounds,
valued at $9,749,OOO. The total of
manufactured tobacco sold reached
an aggregate of 78,850,OO0 pounds,
selling at $71,892,50O. Deducting
the cost of the same to the govern.
ment, S12, 3O7, $50, we find a total of

THE United States annually imports
nearly 100000 gallons of olive oil.
Italy is thefrst country of the world for
producing olive oil. French buyers, it is
claimed, cunningly capture the Italian
product, and, after diluting it, send it
to the United States. There is an ef-
fort now on foot to establish direct
trade with Tuscany and remedy this
abuse, fact that will be commended
by every user of the product.

Association, of Turner's, N. y, whose large

rid the park of reptiles, which apparently
are giving them some concern. Consequent.
ly, they have offered bounty for the de-

boldest of the employees at the park are
making money in destroying them. For
poisonous snakes one dollar each is paid,
and for the less dangerous species ofreptiles,
such as black and garter snakes, fifty cents
each is given. A few days ago one of the
mechanics employed at the park made a
search for snakes in different parts of the
tact Of land included in the reservation,
and succeeded in killing $40 worth in few
hours. The Italians on the tract, who seem
to fear less than others the danger Of snake
bites, are particularly active in the work Of
determination, and are going about in
groups hunting reptiles, and are said to he
making good wages.

IT HAS now become an established TACT
that one contribution alone, the last one, OF
Mr.. Jay Gould to tho Blaine fund amounted
to iny thousand dollars. 1t has also been
shown recently that not more than two
per cent. ofthat sum ever reached the voters,
the residue having gone no further than the
pockets of the agents to whom lis distribu'
ton was entrusted And SO it is with near
" all the money that IS contributed TO
election funds, the nominal disbursers oil such
fluids retaining the larger portion OF them.
Ex-senator Dorsey is one of the few men
who know how to place election money
where it will do the most good. He changed
the entire portion assigned to Indiana, in
1850, into new two dollar notes, every one
of which was wrapped up in republican
ticket, and so distributed to the individual
voters.
