A SMOKY QUESTION.

One of our correspondents yesterday morning raised the interesting question, should tobacco be provided at public ex- pense for the inmates of the almshouse2 This is good question for a debating society. and such society could probably settle 1t as wisely and fairly as anybody, not excepting board of seleotnen. That tobacco is necessity as well as luxury is, we believe, recognized by most of those who manage such public institutions ss hospitals and jails. All who are enslaved by tobacco heartily indorse such recognition, and many of those who are not feel that "the poor critters" ought to have what good and what com fort they can get out of their pipes and quids. We suppose that an attempt to prohibit the use of tobacco in the alms- house would lead to more trouble than it would be worth, and that an attempt to cut the tobacco item out of the expenses would be much resented by many. On the other hand, some of those outside the almshouse who don't spend money for to- bacco, and those who do when they have 1t, but who often do not have it, are in- clined to grumble at the generous supply of the weed which is given to those who are where they cannot feel the hard times.
 We shall not attempt to settle this burn ing question. We don't know how far the selectmen should go in this matter. To- bacco is undoubtedly necessity for many in the almshouse. So Is rum, but there
 wouldn't be very open argument made in favor of generous supply of rum for those there who feel the need of it. It looks as If there might be some discussion of this
 matter, but 1t will probably end where to-
 bacco does, in smoke.

A S3.O0O IDEA.

Young men and old men who are not aDout to marry will do we'll to pay atten ton to the case which has just been de- cided by tine Supreme court of New York. The suit was for breach of promise, and the case Is especially interesting and i'm portant because l. teaches that promise to marry is not exactly like promise to pay, although it frequently results like such promise. In this case it didn't sp- pear that there was any promise, but 1t did appear that there were enough senti- mental and fantastic performancest to make the woman pretty sure that she had a just claim on the man. For in stance, he began by telling her that he had long wanted to make her acquaint- ance. He was in the habit of attending the same church and prayer meetings as she did and frequently escorted her home. He also took her to public entertainments occasionally. This went on for more than two years. Then he grew warmer and he went home with the plaintiff from church nearly every Sunday and from prayer meeting nearly every Thursday evening and would often go into the house and re- main with her, usually alone in the parlor,
 until 10 or Il o'clock. On one occasion there was conversation in reference to 6 trip to Europe. On another, the defend ant talked to the plaintiff about building 8 house and asked her what building lot she preferred. Then came one of those roughneeses that mark the course
 of true love. She told the defendant that
 she heard somebody say that the only
 reason he went with her was to please him self and see how big fool he could make of her. She asked the defendant whether this was true, and he declared that it was not, saying that he had ad- mired her from his first acquaintance with her and that he had never met Q young lady whom he regarded more highly; that he longed to make her happy and would always protect her. The plaintiff respond. ed that che wanted to know whether he was true, and he replied that he had said \ all he could to show that be was true adding as he was leaving, ''If live I will make you happy" It furthermore sp | peared on the trial that the defendant had more than once told the plaintiff that hs did not believe in long engagements, and | that the plaintiff received no attentions ol visits from other young men during th, | period in which the defendant was in tn, habit of visiting her.
 All of which cost the foolish man $8, 900
 besides his expenses. The next time h. goes a-courting he will be either yer,
 definite or very indefinite in his words ant
 actions. As for the woman, she has show
 ss much business ability as real estat agent sometimes shows when he gets tn lidea that man owes him commission.

A RUMOR.

The rumor that MT. Goodwin of East Hartford Is to be elected director of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road company seems to us somewhat un- likely to be true. Of course Mr. Goodwin Is thoroughly fit for the place. He has studied the affairs of the road with great diligence for many years, and has well earned such an honor as his election as director would be. He has during his long and useful connection with the road taken a very prominent part in its legislative work, and has been conspicuous and welcome figure at the annual meetings of the company. His counsel has been wise, and has had the unusual merit of often being for the benefit of the public as well as the road. For these and other reasons the company might well add the name of director to his fame. We do not, however, expect this will be done at this time. Mir. Goodwin has been so busy attending to the affairs of the road that he hasn't been seeking a place as director of the company. If he is chosen 1t will be solely on his merits and such choice is not apt to be made. He needs "pull," or else an emergency which will loudly call for his sagacity, energy and ability. We believe his time will come, but if 1t shouldn't he will be long remem- bered as a man who ought to have been 8 director of the company for which he did oo youob

On the New Orleans Leycc. TGeorge W. Cable in the St Nicholas Maj

Zlne-
 Like all the cross streets of the Ores cent city," Canal street sleeps-they near ly all do great deal of sleeping, or drow- sing at lesst-with the leyee for it's pillow. mean the land Is lower than the river when the waters are up, and the levee Is an embsnkment along the rivers margin, thrown up to keep the Mississippi in its own bed, and let New Orleans sleep peace fully on hers.
 What enormous quantities of freight are here, in rows and piles! Bales. bar rels and casks, without or with tsrpsulin covers to shield them from the rain of sunbeams even more than of water drops. Scores of little fsgs of many colors and devices hutter over them. These are to enable the negroes who unload the boats to sort their burdens ss directed by the stevedore, who stands ct the gaDg-plAnk to see the mark of each package ss it comes by him, and give its bearer or bearers his order accordingly.
 yellehl Go to de white crossl Go to de l check flag Go to de blue anchor. Go to | de check an green!"
 It Is fascinating to watch, from the up- | per guards of some great packet boat, this | distribution of huge treasure by the hands | of these ragged black Samsons. Some. | times the orders sound like imprecations: "Go to the red handl Go to de black heartl Go to de green moon! Go to de | black hsgl"
 This levee was once battle field. That was years ego, though sincs the great civil
 war. It was real battle, with infantry | and artillery. ard many were killed sud | wounded, and state government changed hands ss 6 result of 1t; but though men are quite willing to tell you of 1t If you ask, not even those who won the battle | say much about 1t without being asked | now; for 1t was that worst of all kinds of | fighting, called fsctional strife, and the leyee offers so many plesssnter themes. When the afternoon hour is nearly five, as the lofty steamers deep-toned bslls be- gin to toll, and their towering tunnels pour forth torrent clouds of black smoke, hundreds gather along the levee's front to see the majestic departures of the vast yet | graceful crafts. One after another, with | flags and pennants streaming, they back out from the landing, turning their bows | up stream, fall away for & few moments
 before the mighty current of a river one

 their great paddle wheels: for Mississip- pi river side wheeler "tesrs the river wide open" ss they gay. In the warm months many fellows swim out instead of rowing;

Size Of Seed Potatoes.

The size of seed potatoes has been con-
sidered at the Michigan Station, and in
bulletin SO the results OF the experiments
there, and at II other stations. are
given. 1t says that q great many grow
ers do not give enough of the potato FIR
seed. The half potato is better than a
small piece, and where the varieties are
very small, even more will be needed.
The total yield and quality OF the pota-
toes are very decidedly increased when
there is an increase in the seed up to q
certain point The whole potato does
not give any perceptible increase over
half one, but the half is much better
than a quarter or one-third. In nearly
all of the experiments the results we're in
favor OF the half potato, and only asmall
percentage in favor OF the two-eyed sys-
tenn.

GIN POOR CONDITION."

Reports from the Northern and West
ern markets as to the condition the fruit
is arriving in is rather discouraging
Many carload lots that have gone speed
lily to their destination are reported as
arriving in a poor condition.
Why this is so is mystery if the fruit
was carefully picked and packed. Could
the trouble be laid to the door of the
October storm? Is the fruit that is de-
saying that which was injured by the,
storm i: e., thOrned?
1t is rather early for this complaint to
be prominent, and we trust it will not be
prevalent during the entire season.
