anywhere on its route, said Salem
man Yesterday. "Messrs. Leas Il Nc
Witty, of Philadelphia, after having
visited several points in Southwest Vir-
ginia, have decided to build a large
steam tannery in the town, and the
contract has been closed. Their build
ins will cost not less than $4,000, and
they will employ from thirty to forty
hands. Our iron works and chair fac

company aud the Furnace company
will build handsome three-story brick
building on College street at an early
date to meet the needs Of their i'll
creased business, and ii is expected
that 500 new buildings will be started
after the sale of lots on Thursday, and
during the winter and spring. The
work on the furnace, too. is being
pushed ahead rapidly. Taken ali
together, the prospects for Salem's
growth and development were never
brighter or more lsuring."

are constantly visiting the town, pros

opened hare and there, surveyors

The Inanence of Tobacco.

The smokers sore throat is more
easily induced by the use. of cigars
than the pipe. When once it is fully
established it is quite incurable SO long
as the cause that excites it is allowed
to continue.
The effects Of tobacco on the spinal
cord, and the cord of sympathetic gang
liza are often pronounced. An injurious
influence on the spinal cord and its
nerves would be shown in the produc-
tion OF external insensibility, or in dis
turbed action of the muscles by con-
vulsion or paralysis.
In the blood, the prolonged inhala-
tion of tobacco produces changes very
marked In character. The fluid is
made thinner than is natural, and in
extreme cases, paier. In such instanc-
es the deficient color of the blood is
communicated to the body altogether,
rendering the external surface yellow
ish, white, and pasty.
The nicotine plays very important
part on the motor fbers of the spinal
nerves, and probably on the cord itself.
1t excites through these structures
muscular agitation, followed by tempo
rary suspension of action and paraly-
sis. Unlike mapher tobacco smoke has
y Of acting on the sympa-
em Of nerves exciting them
to produce MUSCULAR epasm, followed
by deficient power. 1t is from this
cause that the organs of organic life
are so irritable, sluggish, and power
less in confirmed smokers.-Dr. B. w.
Richardson, in St. Louis Magazine.

Fashion and tho Razor.

The male human being is never quite
so happy as when he is indulging his
fine humor and sarcasm upon woman's
subservience to fashion. He has at
his tongues end an armory of wit with
which he fusillades the sex. Unmind-
full Of it all. woman does not even re-
tort upon him that OF all the vain crea-
lures ever born into the world man is
certainly the vainest, and attempts the
most in the way OF personal adorn-
ment.
Primitive man no sooner saw his inn
age in the running brook than he de-
termined to improve it, and so he
scraped of his beard with shells. run
skewers through his nose and rings in
his ears. He then went to court his
wife. AS time passed on the skewers
and rings were given up, nut the face
scraping continued, and the razor was
one OF the first invented tools. Then
the custom changed and boards we're
suffered to grow, fashion debating from
time to time how they should be cut
and worn. When it was the fashion to
wear boards the smooth-faced man
was looked upon as a shaveling and a
priest. To be without beard was
mark of effeminacy. But when it was
the fashion to shave tho bearded man
was regarded as old-fashioned, or
fool, and perhaps an atheist.
Persons not old can remember what
a battle the beard had for recognition
a generation ago. A judge declined to
hear lawyer who wore q beard. aud a
bishop refused to allow a clergyman to
read prayers because he had
mustache. A well-known banking
house issued an order, grimly humor-
GUS, that the clerks were not to wear
boards or mustaches in Office hours.
Thus the battle went on until the be-
ginning OF the civil war, when tho
boards won, and for more than decade
retained the supremacy. Then whis-
kers were abolished, and nothing but
a mustache was suffered to adorn the
fashionable face. Now comes the
decree that the mustache must also 60.
A clean shaved, face is the only pass
port to society. No other phiz can be
accepted.
The BARRIERS have been celebrating
the victory Of the razor in a conven-
ton at Posen, in Germany, at which,
the dispatches tell us, twenty thousand
BARRIERS were represented. It is evil
dent that the barber's trade is looking
up. For the next decade mt least the
razor will flourish, and he who would
be in the swim must show his chin new
reaped like stubblefield at harvest home.

utili..tion o, Running Streams.

The utilization OF running streams is
the object OF many recent devices,
among which may be mentioned that
OF M. Tayn. a Russian engineer. His
apparatus consists OF an endless cable,
carrying a series ofcanvas cones, which
open and shut like an umbrella. The
cable passes over a double drum on
board pontoon, and at the other end
over a pulley suspended from buoy.
On the lower part OF the rope the cones
are opened and forced forward by the
current OF water, thus setting in mo-
tion shaft or drum.-Scientific Amer

MoNl o+!lN MARRIAGES.
The Union of Prince Nlchoias's
Daughters with Russian Royal,

Oau8ntero Will Huesion noyoI-
".
Afew days ago the second daughter
Of the prince Of Montenegro was mar
ried to Russian prince. q cousin OF
Alexander Ill, and at the same time
the engagement was announced Of her
younger sister, the Princess Anastasia,
to Prince George Maximilinnovitch Of
Leuchtenberg, another cousin OF tho
czar. 1t is evidently, says the Buffalo
Courier, the intention Of the Russian
emperor to secure to the family OF
Prince Nicholas OF Montenegro. who
has seven daughters and two sons, tho
full recognition as one Of the European
dynasties which up to recent time
was denied to them. In this way he
doubtless means to reward Montenegro
for her fidelity to the Russian alliance.
which presents a marked contrast to
the attitude OF Servia, Roumania, and
Bulgaria toward the power which liber-
ated them from Turkish rule.
Prince George of Leuchtenperg is
widower some 80 years old. On his
mothers side he is grandson OF Gar
Nicholas l.. while his paternal grand
father was Eugene Beauharnais, step
son OF Napoleon I. and viceroy OF Italy.
Eugene was formally adopted rs a son
by Napoleon without right OF success
sion to the French crown and m trried
Bavarian princess. After tho en-
peror's downfall he was made duke o!
Leuchtenberg and prince OF Eichstaedt
by his father-in-law, the King OF Bava-
ria His family retained its semi-royal
rank. One OF his daughters be-
came queen of Sweden. another
empress OF Brazil. and his eldest
son married the then reigning queen
OF Portugal His second son. who sue.
ceeded to the position OF chief OF tho
family, married the Grand Duchess
Maria NicolaJevna, daughter Of Nicho-
las I. OF Russia, and as consequence
of this union the family adopted tn"
creed OF tho Greek church. When
Louis Napoleon, whose mother. Queen
Hortense, was sister OF Eugene Beau-
harnais, assumed the imperial title in
1852 he intended TO restore his unclc's
descendants to tho rank which Napo-
leon I. had conferred upon his step son.
But Nicholas !. was opposed to such
connection OF his grandchildren with
the "upstart" dynasty OF the Bonn
parties. To prevent it the czar gavo
to all the members OF the Leuchtenberc
family the title and style Of Prince and
Princess Romanowski and "imperial
highness, together. with a rank next
to that Of the members Of tho Russian
imperial house In this way tho
scheme OF Napoleon III. was thwarted.
This was one OF the acts OF Nicholas
which the French emperor bitterly re-
sented, and 1t doubtless had much N
do with the desire for rcvonge which
he was able to crafty in the Crimcan
war. The Leuchtenbergs arc now n
Russian family OF semi-royal rank,
They have large possessions in Russia
and Germany, and their French origin
seems to be nothing to them but
memory. The present head OF tho
family is the Duke Nicholas Maximil-
ianovitch, an elder brother OF Prince
George. The latter has " son by hi,
deceased wife, and upon his line III.
titles and estates Of the family will ulti-
mately devolve.
