Grant Drilling the Home Militia

young Wilson's mind, because it SEEM

see a young lad such as Cadet Grant
looked, ordering the pompous old Of
ficers about. HE looked very young,
very slender, and very pale
HE was dressed in long blue coat
with big epaulettes and big brass but
tons, and his trousers seemed to be
white, though they may have been a
light gray. He wore cap, and red
sash around his waist, and he rode his
horse in fine style.

Procyon's Companion.

Many years ago the great German
mathematician, Bessel, announced that
both Sirius and Procyon--popularly
known as the dog stars-pos in
visible companions revolving around
them. He was led to this conclusion
by studying the motions of those stars.
In 1862 the companion of Sirius was
discovered with the telescope, and dur
ing the present year it has reappeared,
after being invisible for six years
through too close proximity to its brill
liant comrade. Quickly following the
temperance of Sirius's companion has
also come the discovery Of the compar-
ion of Procyon, which had never been
seen until Professor Schaeberle caught
sight of it with the great telescope of
the Lick Observatory few weeks ago.

kNe IlAmEs-enN roaAea


sir ~aNer Kaieleh Knew some shame
~ Secret About Him.
The work published by King james
best known to the generality of read
ers is his famous "Counterblaste to
Tobacco SAYS the Westminster Re
view. The first also it was which he
issued after succeeding to the throne
OF England. His reason for entering
the lists against the new and popular
habit of smoking was, as he informs
us in the early pages Of the treatise,
because 1t was n habit sinful in the
sight of God and foolish in the estima-
ton OF the world. But these reasons
being scarcely considered sufficient he
goes on to ridieule the practice, COM
menting on the folly of initiating "the
barbarous and beastlike manners OF
the Wild, godlease and slavish Indians"
Then he turns to the injury in their
temporal affairs sustained by his peo-
pie owing to their excessive devotion
to the weed. Now, how you are by
this custom disabled in your goods,
he remarks, let the gentry of this
land bear Witnesse, some of them be-
slowing $500, some f400 a yeare upon
this preseous stinke, which | am sure
might be bestowed upon many fare
better uses, The literature upon to-
| bacco, whether considered as a weed to
smoke or as a medicine in the pharma-
copoeia, is so large that only the bafest
mention must suffice here. When
James published his "Counterblaste'
society WAS divided over the merits OF
the plant, one party lauding it as a
panacea for all diseases, on the au-
tPority of the French physicians Mon
ardes and Estienne, as we'll as by the
testimony Of Nicot, French ambassa-
dor to Portugal. who had introduced
1t INTO France; the other sneering at
1t as a useless shrub whose virtues
were as mythical as the famous elixir
OF youth, The mistaken idea that
Raleigh had anything to do with the
Introduction OF tobacco into England
the honor of this undoubtedly resting
with Master Ralph Lane, who was in
charge OF the second expedition which
went out to Raleigh's colony in Vr-
slnia-may have had something to. do
with the antipathy James conceived
toward the weed, The balance of evil
dence all goes to show that Raleigh
was in possession of some shameful
secret relating to the monarch-whose
vicious procliyities are matter of his
tory-for the latter never rested until
he secured the execution of one of the
greatest of Englishmen.
