Pipes Again in Fashion.

"Pipe-smoking is on the increase"
said Fulton street tobacconist.
Years ago it was not unusual to meet
a half-dozen men pulling on brier-
roots during walk Of as many blocks,
but until recently the custom has been
regarded as vulgar, and Patsey with
his dudheen was the only man who
braved popular prejudice and saun-
tered home with a pipe in his mouth.
During the past few months it is sur
prising how many pipes have been
sold. Nearly all the old stock is gone,
and the manufacturers are smiling at
the pro pect of a rush for the holidays.
The profits are not meager, but Of
course they are nothing to those we
make on cigars. The male portion OF
New York begins smoking nowadays
ut the age of seven years, and never
quits until death. Cigarettes, or ''cotfin
nails" as some persons call them, are
bought by every one. Even young
women, school girls and old women
blow a cloud occasionally. We should
all get rich If there were f.wer in the
business. The man who doesn't smoke
something nowadays is a rarity. -

when i was in the army dur;n, ,hs
WINTER OF 1862 we were camped at The
upper end Of Metairie ridge, some few
mics back OF Carrollton, La, and some
seven or eight from New Orleans
Toward Lake Pontchartrain there was
an almost impossible cypress swami
anu on the river side wet sloughs. The
ridge was from quarter to a hall
q mile IN width and thickly settled.
ror what purpose we had been CANNED
there we never knew, unless to try our
constitutions in the very hot-bed Of
maiarial production. The men were
giViAg way very fast, so that it wa,
impossible to make out picket detail
without taking men on the sick list.
just where our regiment was camped
lhe ridge was divided by bayou and
PACK OF us, across this bayou, was
camped probably thousand contra.
bands. The blacks were SUFFERING
from fevers and other sickness and
dying off very fast, although they were
thoroughly acclimated under ordinary
circumstances. Our picket line was sta.
TONED just back of the contraband
camp in the edge Of the swamp. bu,
what was expected to come through
ms morass. except allgators and
other indigenous animals, is more than
we ever found out Near the post oc-
cupying the northwest corner the con.
trabands buried their dead with all the
solemnity and superstition of the
African nature. From comrades who
had been stationed Oh this post we had
been told OF strange occurrences that.
IN spite OF the solemnity such things
usually inspire, would convulse Us
with laughter
One day after he was relieved, Joe
U. 5 told us of an incident that
often recurs to me. The ground, as
every one knows, on the Mississippi
bottoms of Louisiana, is very low, and
at any time in hole dug the water

was so with the graves dug by the con-
trabands; they would Immediately fill
with water to within a few inches of
the top, which made it necessary to
put weights on the dead bodies in
order to sink them so they could be
covered. There was no such thing to
be had as collins, and the burials were
made in blankets.
just before night Joe saw contra
band funeral approaching his post and
through curiosity stopped to watch the
proceedings. The corpse was laid in
the grave and as it would not sink
heavy sods taken from the surface
were placed on both head and feet
While the body was slowly sinking the
venerable white-haired preacher was
exhorting the attendants and com
hitting the body, Dust to dust. :"
Just as they commenced throwing in
dirt, up darted the dead body. head
first, half way out of the grave, and
the last one of them ran away yelling
Joe burst out laughing, as he saw that
the weight that had been placed on
the head of the body had slipped off
and, of course, the buoyancy of the
water quickly forced the corpse into
an upright position.
1t was some time before the negroes
could be influenced to return. and
complete their burial They believed
there was something supernatural
about it, and no amount of talking
could convince them to the contrary
