An Albany physician, who is something OF
an investigator, says that smoking is not good
for any man so far as his physical condition
is concerned; that it is only good to relieve
mental depression; that it does so simply by
diverting a mans mind from himself and
from objects that worry him Nothing"
said he, requires more devotion to it for its
enjoyment than cigar. 1t is not the taste
of tobacco that one enjoys. 1t is looking at
the smoke, inhalIng and smelling it, and
knocking off the ashes. All these things
divert the mind, and SO drive dull care
away."-Albany Journal

Telegram from Gen. Harrison
New YORK, Oct. 2S.-lt is estimated that
1900 people were present last evening at the
Irish American protection mass meeting in
Madison Square garden. Patrick Ford pre-
sided and a large number of Irish American
citizens acted as vice presidents and secre-
taries. Mr.. Ford delivered short address
to the effect that lrishmen should favor pro-
lection because England favors free trade.
He read the following telegram to himself
from Mr. Harrison:

return congratulate them and you on the magni'

work, and was followed by other Irish ora

de said he spoke to them not in relation to
their connection with Great Britain, but in
relation to their citizenship in the American
Republic. He then referred to the troubles
Of ireland, many of them the result Of fret
trade, and the evils of British rule in that isl
and, and expressed his wonder that in spite
of this majority of those people in THU
country would vote for free trade. He ther
