II. Kellogg, that a large share of the hys-
terical girls and the boys who rave a
tendency to inebliety owe their condition
to the tobacco habits of their fathers. He
believes that IN some respects the tobacco
appetite entails worse results than that of
alcohol; that it is an error to suppose that
tobacco produces no organic diseases 1t
causes a failure of the eyesight which
nothing can cure and also a tobacco
heart, which is ineurable.

Emerson had the rare good fortune to Sc
cure pair of these obnoxious animals

brought them to Davenport, put them in
the Milwaukee round house, and treated
them with such distinguished consider,
stion that in & short time they were as
tame as pet toad. Since that time Mr
Emerson has had an offer of $25 for the
pair from heavy English syndicate, but
has refused to part with them. There
are now other and smaller skunks in the
round house. sll doing well. They re-
semble young cats, and are quite as gen

confidence seems to exist between them
and their keeper They follow him about
the city like young dogs, snd aye very
sensible Of the csresses that lac lsvishes
upon them. Mr.. Emerson thinks that

forth in his true light, an equal 70 the

make the venture a success.
