DANGER IN CIGARETTES.

From W. C. T. U. Circular.
Let us examine the cigarette; the
most injurious ingredient is the
nicotine, which is colorless liquid
alkaloid, with an acrid burning taste,
one OF the most poisonous narcotics,
acting on the human organization as
one of the most deadly poisons F.;
besides the poisonous nicotine in the
cigarette, the wrapper is made from
paper whitened with arsenic; alum is
also used in the preparation of the
paper; then the tobacco is impreg-
mated with opium, stramonium, bell :
adonna, and other drugs. The dan
ger in cigarette smoking besides the
injurious effects of the drug is the
fact that the smoke is inhaled.

FREDERLCK DOrGLASS.

From Kate Fields Washington.
Who can tell his story better than
himself? A dozen years ago Mr..
Douglass went back to Talbot county,
Maryland, where he was born Il slave,
to buy some OF the property which,
in the old days, he was forbidden by
law to own, because nature had
colored his skin brown, and white
men had, by their superior strength,
been able to puy and sell his ances-
tors. While there he was invited to
address a colored school, and this
was what he said
~ once knew little colored boy
whose mother and father died when
he was but 6 years old. He was a
slave and had no one to care for him.
He slept on dirt floor in a hovel and
in cold weather would crawl into
meal bag head foremost and leave
his feet in the ashes to keep them
warm. Often he would roast an ear
of corn and eat it to satisfy his
hunger, and many times he has
crawled under the barn or stable and
secured eggs, which he would roast
in the fire and cat.
"That boy did not wear pants like
you do, but a tow linen shirt.
Schools were unknown to him, and
he learned to spell from an old
Webst RS spelling book and to read
and write from posters on cellar and
barn doors, while boys and men
would help him. He would then
preach and speak, and soon became
well known. lie became presidential
el, ctor, United States marshal,
Caited States recorder, United
States diplomat, and accumulated
some wealth. He wore broadcloth
and didn't have to divide crumbs
with the dogs under the table.
That boy was Frederick Douglass.
"What was possible for me is
possible for you. Don't think
because you are coored you
can't accomplish anything. Strive
earnestly to add to your knowledge.
So long as you remain in ignorance
80 long will you fail to command the
respect of your fellow men,"

A NEW LINCOLN ANOEDOTE.

From Speech OF Secretary Herbert.
heard recently an anecdote
which l don't remember to have
seen in print. 1t is attributed to
Senator Henderson. Very early in
the civil war, extremists began to
urge President Lincoln to issue
proclamation to abolish slavery. Mr..
Lincoln was slow in making up his
mind. While the matter was still
under consideration the present
ex- Senator Henderson went to see
the president at the White House just
as Mr.. Summer was leaving. Mr..
Lincoln said: Henderson, did you
meet Sumner out there at the doorT
yes, sir.' We'll, that man comes
here once day. There are three
of them who have entered into
combination to compel me to issue
q proclamation emancipating the
slaves. They want it done now,
whether I think the time is come or
not, Ben Wade comes early in the
morning, Sumner comes at noon and
Thad Stevens comes at night. Pve
gotten so l hate the sight of them.
Every time I lay eyes on one of
them I think about the boy who was
put to reading the Bible at school
and got stupid when he came to the
names OF the men who walked
through the fiery furnace. He read
along glibly enough until he came to
those names; then he halted. The
teacher scoldec him, but it was of no
use. He trounced him and still the
teacher shouted: "Shadrach, Mes
hack and Abednego, You Ounce, skip
them and go along.n And the boy
read along very smoothly for a page
and then all at once broke out cry
ing; "What's the matters" said the
reacher, and the boy blundered out,
Here comes them internal three
J fellows again. A

JUST LIKE HIM.

From the New York Sun.
"Mom," a boy to his mother,
"where is the blacking?"
81 DON'T" said the boy's mother,
sunless Philips had it,"
Philip was the boys older brother.
The backing outfit was kept in a
backing stand in Philips room; he
had found it pretty cold in his room
that morning and so he had taken
the things out into the dining room
and blacked his shoes there, and
when he got through he had left
the things there.
"Just like him." said Philips
brother, and then, not finding the
dining room quite warm enough to
suit him he gathered the things and
went and blacked his shoes in the
kitchen, he when he got through
he left the things there.

NEW SILVER PARTY.

The following has been issued by
the American Bimetalist League:
A statement of the issues on which
the new party will organize:
The money question is now indis-
putably the dominant issue in the
United States, and will remain SO
unsettled, and settled rightly. Other
questions, however important, must
wait for this, which TO a greater or
less extent, involves all others. The
issue is between the gold standard.
gold bonds and bank currency on the
one side and the bimetalic standard.
no bonds and government currency
on the other.
l. On this issue we declare our
selves to be unalterably opposed to
the single gold standard and demand
all immediate return to the constitu.
tional standard of gold and silver, by
the restoration by this government,
independent Of any foreign power,
OF the unrestricted coinage of both
silver and gold into standard money
at the ratio of Is to /, and upon
terms OF extra equality; the silver
coin to be full legal tender, equal
with gold, for the payment of all
debts and dues, public and private.
2. We hold that the power to
control and regulate a paper cur
rency is insepcrable from the power
to coin money; and hence that all
currency intended to circulate as
money should be issued, and it's vol
ume controlled, by the general gov
ernment only, and should be legal
tender.
3. We are unalterably opposed to
the issue by the United States of
Interest bearing bonds in time of
peace, and demand the payment of
all coin obligations of the United
States, as provided by existing laws.

option of the government, and not at
the option of the creditor.

SIR HENRY RAWLINsON DEAD.
Sii Henry Creswick Rawlinson,
Bart, G. b., the first interpreter of
the cuneiform Inscriptions at Babylon
and Nineveh, and at one time presi-
dent of the Royal Geographical Soc
iety, is dead, at the age of So years.
1 Sir Henry was brother of George
Rawlinson, the great historian of the
Orient. He was born in 1910, and
entered the army at Bombay in 1887
From 1919 to 1898 he was political
agent of England in Turkish Arabia
and consul general at BagGad. lie
was next appointed a director Of the
East India company, when he retired
from the army with the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel. In 1858 he was
dispatched an envoy to the Persian
court. Returning to England he was
twice elected to parliament, and in
1865 became a member of the coun-
ell of India. From 1871 to 1876 he
was president of the Royal Geograph-
ical Society. During his first visit to
Persia, before he entered the army,
he became interested in cuneiform
inscriptions, and his investigations in
this direction form his chief title to
fame. In 1896 he deciphered the
great inscription at Behistun. His
works are "Outlne of the
History OF Assyria," "Notes on the
Early History OF Babylon" and "The
