The Tobacco Curse.

"A boy seventeen years Of age has
recently been tried, found guilty,
and sentenced to ten DAYS in the
Medina County jair, with 25 dpllars
fine, for giving tobacco to a minor.
The law passed in Ohio. April 10,
1883, reads as follows:
SEC. |. Be it enacted by the gen
eral Assembly of the State of Ohio,
that whosoever sells, gives ar fur
nishcs to any minor under fifteen
years of age, any cigarettce or to-
bacc0 shall be fined not less than
five dollars nor more than twenty
five dollars, or imprisoned not more
than thirty days, or both.
SEC. .. 1~is act shall take effect
on its passage.
TESTIMONY FROM EMINENT SCIEN.
TIsTs-AN INTERESTING AND
SCIENTIFIC FACT.
"A few years ago II call was issu-
ed from London, England, to the
scientists of the world to assemble
for the discussion of whatever
scientific subjects might be pre-
sented; every statement to under
go most rigid scrutiny. One mem
ber said: "Tobacco is not injurious.
l have chewed it for fifty years,
and my father for sixty years, with
out preceptible damage. All this
hue and cry about it is nonsense"
The actuary answered, "Step for
ward and let us canvass this mat
ter thoroughly. How much do you
chew" ~ chew regularly three
quids per day, of about this SIZE"
cutting them from his plug. One
was given to IA Russian and
another to II French chemist, with
"pleuse return the extracts"
Then the actuary said, "Will any
young man unaccustomed to the
use of tobacco chew tins third quid
before the audiance? Here are $2O
to the one who will" A young
mon stepped forward. The audi
ence was requested to sean his
looks, cheeks, eyes and general ap-
pearence, before he took it, and
closely watch it's effects. He soon
become pale from sickness, then
vomited, and anon tainted before
the assembly. The extract from
one quid was given to a. powerful
tom-cat. He flew wildly around
and then and there died. The
other extract was put upon the
tongue of II premium dog, which
uttered yelp, leaped frantically,
lay down, and expired. These facts
transpired before the, world. They
are recorded in the most scientific
repository of this century or any
other, in volume which costs
twenty dollars copy. They can
not be controverted. Every con-
sumner of tobacco in either form is
a practical witness that these are
it's precise effects, by his own inita-
ton to its use. See page 252 Vol. /

Hardening the Brain.
A New Way Adopted by Woman to
Doctor upa Sick Husband.

While we were waiting at the
depot in II small town in Arkansas
colored woman came up and ask
ed If any one of the six white men
was a doctor. One of them proved
to he and she rolled her check
apron in her hands is a fussy way
and asked If he wouldn't "jist STEP
uber to de cabin an see what allied
her old man." He found that he
had time and said that he would
go, and two or three of went along
to see what we could see. AS we
drew near the cabin the woman
halted us and said:
"I'ze bin all de doctah he's had,
an I'2e willin' to allow dat might.
er made some mistakes. When he
was fust tooken Civ him turnip-
seed tea. Was dat right, doctah ?'

"Later on l changed to a poultice
of wild onions, Was dat right?"
at might have BEEN"
"Den l soaked his feet in hot
water wild wood ashes in an put
a mustard poultice on de back of
his neck"
"Yes."
"Den he allowed he felt wuss an
so changed the mustard to his
stomach an soaked his head. He
dun complained all de mawnin' am
now I'ze got mustard on his feet, a
pouitice on de middle, horseraddish
on his neck an he's takin' sassafra $
tea to warm up de inside"
"Wellw
"Well, if dere has been any mis-
take doan let on to de ole man.
Just keep it ober."
We went in and the doctor eX-
amined the patient and found he
had broken rib and told him
what to do for it. AS we left the
cabin the old woman followed us
out and exclaimed: -,
"Fo' de Lawd doctah, but what a
blessin' dat you don come along. /

A Negro Commonwealth.

A Negro Commonwealth.
The colored men in various
parts of the country are moving
with earnestness and vigor to OBJ
tain political control of Oklahoma
Territory and to bring it into the
Union, when ripe for admission, as
negro State. a thorough organiza-
ton has been formed, and the lead
ers of the movement claim that be-
fore the end of the year they will
have not less than hundred
thousand negroes in the Territory.
A great deal of the recent emigra-
tien from the Carolinas has been
directed to Oklahoma, the genial
climate and fertile soil of which
are as inviting to the regro as to
the white emigrants. Hence, it
does not require much effort TO per-
suade them to take up the line Of
march for this new Land of Promise
which offers them not merely an
abundance of milk and honey, but
the prospect of the offices and
spoils which their white brethren
have taught them to prize so high
~.
One advantage of this move
ment is that it would require no
appropriation or assistance from
the Federal Government; so that
the bills Of Senators Morgan and
Butler to promote negro emigra-
tion might as well be laid on the
table. By their spontaneous efforts
and with such voluntary contribu-
tions as they will receive from
liberal white citizens, the negroes
might be able to make of Oklahoma
4 Congo Free State without upder-
going the perlls and privations of
colonization in Africa.
Once established in their new
home, they would necessarily, soon
learn the mechanical arts not
merely, but keep their own stores,
manage their own banks, and prac-
tice the professions of medicine
and law. In the meantime they
promise to treat we'll the whites
who may settle among them, and
they will doubtless keep their
promise. They would hardly carry
race prejudice so far as to exclude
white youths from the mechanical
crafts and learned professions
merely ON account of Il different
color.
This spontaneous effort to create
a negro State in Oklahoma is far
more commendable than are the
attempts of the Republican party
to subject South Carolina and Miss
issippi to negro denomination. In
II new environment, and under
other conditions, they would be en-
abled to demonstrate their capacity
for self government and intellect
ual progress. If in control of
Oklahoma, and released from the
thralldom to party, they would be
able to divide upon the tariff, the
currency, and other public ques-
tions concerning which they have
now no opinions. While they
might crafty their political ambi-
ton and loye of place by taking
the Offices of Goyernor, United
States Senator, member Of Con-
gress and all other important posts,
they would doubtless in their gen
crosity occasionally elect white
man Justice of the Feace or per-
init him to serve on the police
force.
But there Is no danger that the
negroes will convert fair Oklahoma
INTO u Hayti or San Domingo.
White civiiation would not permit
to do so If they gould. All things
considered, however, this negro
movement upon Oklahoma Is de-
serving Of public interest and sym
pathy,rzPhil Record.

at Smiths Opera House this week IS a
very good one and contains some
features that are we'll worth seeing. 1t
IS becoming palmer every day that the
bulk OF the patrons at TINS handsome
theatre would much rather see the
middle act and aiterpioce cut entirely
out Of the program. Oftumcs they
are dragging and tedious. Bright clever
speclalues from the opening part
through to the end would b. greatly

shortened by cutting. The one great

IS its middle act. James Green, Irish
comedian, continues his success Uiis

ing comedian and Lucier and Arch
