Hoe ISLAND, which according to
dispatch in the SIN, of March
,I4th, from Washington, has been
selected for quarantine station, is
in the mouth of the Patuxent river,
about seventy-eight miles from Bal
timore. 1t is Il small body of land,
containing perhaps, fifteen or TWEEN
ty acres, belonging to st. Mary's
county and is separated from the
mainland by narrow creek, about
fifty or one hundred feet in width.
1t is portion of the old Cedar
Point Key estate. Cedar Point is
on the south side of the mouth of
the PatuXent. whilst Drum Point
is on the north side. The river here
is between one and two miles wide
and Hog Island lies directly oppo-
site Drum Point, bordering on the
Drum Point harbor; which is ole
of the best harbOrs and most beau
tiful sheets of water on our sea-
board. Hog Island is probably
we'll adapted, both in its location
and other features, for the purpose
of quarantine station. The stu
alton is us healthful as any that
could be found on the bay. Drum
Point harbor is refuge in storms
for u vast number of vessels, prin-
cipally of the oyster fleet, aud is
an important point in the oyster
industry. 1t has long needed tele-
graphic communication with Balti-
more, and it probable that it will
now be found necessary for the gov
crnment to construct line with
which to communicate with the
station.

A Texas town recently took on a
gala-day aspect in anticipation of a
hanging. People came from afar and
brought the children along. The
murderer was or the trap, capped
and: ready TO shoot down to the
limit OF the moose, when a reprieye
arrived. Then the breath that has
been bated for naught let itself out
in a howl Of disapproyal. The
murderer himself evinced a keen
regret that did him credit. But he
would not see the crowd go away
wholly unsated, and so he danced a
Jig on the scaffold, with the death
cap on his head and the rope still
about his neck. 1t was a thoughtful
and generous act, the Texans opined
as they departed.

The legislature OF the state OF
Washington not only passed, but the
governor has approved the bill
making the sale OF cigarettes illegal,
and it is o a law. This bill was
not passed in the interest Of people
whose nostrils are offended by the
fumes Of the offensive cigarette or
because the ladies of the state wished
1T or to deprive the cigarette fiend OF
his nourishment, but to down the
tobacco trust. The bill was adyo-
Gated by the tobacco dealers of the
state themselves. The American
Tobacco Company, the tobacco trust,
has gobDled all the cigarette business
OF the United States, and last year
made a profit of $4,000 900 from
cigarettes alone. This they do not
share with the retail dealer, who can
only make a fraction Of a cent on
each package he sells. The Trust
did not appreciate the gravity of the
situatica until the bill was nearly a
law. Then it started an expert lob
byist to Olympia with $4,000, but
before he arrived the bin wac in the
hands OF the Governor and the game
was lost.
