The Deadly Cigarette.

Figures, it is said, never lie
though the makers OF them do
But chemical analysis may be re-
lied upon with reasonable certainty,
and Prof. Latin, uo,ed scientist,
says that there are five poisona in a
cigarette-the oil in the paper, the
oil OF the nicotine, saltpetre TO pre-
serve the tobacco, opium To make it
mild, and the oil in the favuring.
A good cigar has bat one poison
the nicotine, that is parcel OF the
tobacco.
1t is fact known to every small
b that a mouthful OF smQke blow
through handkerchief will leave
a stain, but blown through The nos
'rils, no stain will appear-it is left
III the head and throat. This Stain
from the cigarette is deadly CON-
bination of the five powerful poisons
just nam ed, and when such a dead
ly agency is inhaled and lett upon
the lung, it is only question OF
time ahen that necessary member
will cease to do active duty, and
then collapse comes.

NapOleOn's Brig.

On the steamer Eureka, which ar
rived from the southern coast the
other morning, were two passengers
from Monterey, named George Baker
aud John Roach. Both are divers, and
the story of their latest exploit in Mon
terey Is, if true, strange indeed. The
men left here about four weeks ago In
the schooner Rose Sparks to work on
the wreck of the Ventura, which went
ashore some months ago near Point
Sur, distance of about twenty-six
miles below Monterey. They put into
Monterey to get supply of powder,
and while anchored in the bay the dis
covery was accidentally made that they
were just over the wreck of some yes
sell Baker and Roach donned their
diving suits, and were at first little
gratitied at their discovery, there being
little left of the vessel to explore.
They kept digging away at the re-
mains, however, and soon had the sat
isfaetion of seeing considerable copper
and iron piled up on the deck of the
Rose Sparks. When the news of find
ing the wreck spread to the town of
Monterey boats of nearly every de-
scription put off to the schooner, and
the men were surrounded by French
men of all ages and sizes, who had
lived in Monterey for years, and many
of whom remembered the vessel well.
She was brigantine, they said, and
went into port on fire in 1884. All
hands abandoned her, the Frenchmen
said, and were fortunate enough to es-
cape. What made the wreck precious
in the eyes of the natives of France,
they said, was the fact that, although
when lost she was sailing under the
Mexican flag, she was In reality the
vessel which bore Napoleon from his
exile on the Isle of Elba to France.
The vessel on which the Emperor
and his friends sailed from Elba was q
brig, and was called the Inconstant.
BE this as il may, nothing can shake
the faith of the old residents of Mon
terey from the belief that the Natalia
is the original vessel Those who were
rich enough to purchase small bits of
copper and iron from Baker did so, and
others begged so hard that they were
given small specimens which they car
ried away in delight, and will no doubt
treasure as relics of the once-loved and
great Emperor. They account for the
change of name by the fact that the
versel was sold to the Mexican Govern
ment. The Rose Sparks will be due
here in about two weeks with a cargo
of copper and iron taken from the
wreck. San Francisco Chronicle.

In the early history of Chicago the live
stock business was transacted at numerous
small yards upon her outskirts. The pres
ent yards were built in 1865 and opened for
business on Christmas day OF that year.
They are situated about five miles from the
business center in the town OF Lake. which.
in July last. was formally annexed 10 the
city. They are easy OF access, being
reached by steam railways and several lines
OF street ears. The yards mainly cover the
ground from Thirty-ninth street south TO
Fofty-lfth street. and from Halsted st 'eet
west 20 Center avenue. They comprise $40
acres. They can accommodate at one time
