The consumption of this class of goods
is confined almost wholly to the luxurious
and extravagant 6ass in the great cities.
Outside of them it is regarded as extrava-
gance to smoke anything dearer than 10
cent cigar, while the rule is cents OF cheaper.
The great mass of the Southerners still cling
to the economical pipe. In the large cities,
on the other hand, smoking cigars that cost
from Is cents to 81 is common practice
There are no large cities-in the Northern
sense-in the South, outside of Baltimore,
Louisville and ST. Louis, all of which are
more Northern than Southern" New
Orleans, Richmond, Raleigh, Charleston, sa-
vannah, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Nashville,
Mobile, Memphis and Galveston are usually
spoken of as large cities, but in population
and business they rank with the fourth-class
cities of the North. New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Chicago
and San Francisco each consume more high
priced tobacco, and pay more revenue de-
rived from the same than the whole South u
for which Gen. Johnson speaks.

THE readers of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
will hear with more than ordinary sorrow
of the death of the gallant Col. Thomas
Rafferty,, formerly of the list n Y (Sickles's
Brigade and who has recently been brought
prominently before them by his admirable
article on the Third Corps at Gettysburg
published in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE of
Feb. and g. Col Rafferty, was one of the
foremost of the brilliant array Of Irish sol
diers who made reputation for themselves
as leaders and fighters in the Army Of the
Potomac He attracted attention at the
start at the battles of Williamsburg and
Fair Oaks, and at Malvern Hill received the
high praise of all his commanding officers
He was at the front doing valiant service
during all the time of Grants wonderful
campaign from the Rapidan to Appomattox,
and was several times brevetted for gallant
conduct, but preferred TO stay with his regi-
ment and would accept no other title than
that of Colonel of the list n Y, with which
he was identified from the beginning to the
end of the war. At the close of the struggle
he returned to his business in New York
and has since then been one of the promi-
nent members of the Produce Exchange of
that city, the firm name being Rafferty, &
Williams. He was an active Grand Army
man, and for year previous to his death
was Commander Of Abraham Lincoln Post,
No. 10. He was really too feeble to accept
/ the position at the time it was conferred
upon him, but at the earnest request of his
comrades ne did The other Post officers
lightened his labors for him all they could.
The disease which carried him off was
asthma and other pulmonary troubles. lie
