A FREE PRESS.

The following from the Wilmington
IN. CO. Messenger has wide application
all over the Union, but nowhere more
80 than in Virginia.:
No free people can tolerate a man
acled press. The right to think and to
print what you think must be preserved
intact. That class of censors who would
suppress free printing Is the class Ia
usurp power, to invade the rights Of
freemen and to overthrow Republican
institutions. If they can put a mu2Zlc
upon the press in a republic by any
process they will have taken a great
stride towards despotic power. The
press Is the real hope and defence OF
any people, whether in q republic or a
limited monarchy. So long as the press
is free, independent, brave for the
right. true to honest convictions and
unsubsdized the peoples rights and
liberties will never be lost without a
great struggle. To copy a recent clos

THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.

There is. no fniquity to which men
will not eagearly descend for money
and power. We are told in the New
Testament that Simon, the Sorcerer.
wanted to speculate in the Holy Ghost!
and Simon has competitors to-day that
would avidly make traffic Of the most
sacred things. And the more they get
and have, the more they want. Like
the daughter Of the horse-lcech, their
cry continually is for more. more!
more! The so-called national banks
and the trusts strikingly illustrate
this growing greed, which nothing can
satisfy, or satiate. Monopoly is but
means to an end that embraces all
that grasping covetousness and gall
Ing tyranny can imply. There is no
despotism so mean and oppressive as
that of avarice.
And yet under its dominion we
are falling in all things. 1t was said
of old by the prophets that money
answereth for all things" and to- day
1t asketh for all things, taking what it
cannot buy. Good and useful as it
may be, what dreadfully dangerous
and evil thing it is in the hands Of
the INSCRIPTIONS, or to tempt all men
from right and truth. TO wrong and
falsehood! Good Lord. deliver us!

ReducinT Grades.

The contracts have been let by the
Receivers Of the, Baltimore and Ohio
Rail Road, for the proposed improve
ments on the line between Wheeling
and Pittsburg. A few miles south Of
Pittsburg there are two very bad hills,
one known az whitehall, and the other
as Thomas. The grades on the pres
ent line, both sides Of whitehall Sum-
NIT, are 1872 feet, plus the curvature,
eqIaling a grade Of 156 feet per mile.
The grades at Thomas Summit are
1876 feet permile on the west side, and
IS to 1O4 feet on the east side. Both
improvements will result in q saving
Of curvature of 600 degrees Of central
angle. The new line will not exceed
68 feet per mile and will save about
$4,000 q pear in operation. The work
includes the building Of q double track
with bfidges and tunnels, n tunnel
being 1000 feet in length and the other
1900 feet, and will cost in the neigh
borhood Of 100000.

tions of waste and repair.
Experts say that for smoking tobac-
co is n of the least injurious sub
stances known. Compared with other
well-known vegetable substances used
for the same purpose, tobacco is very
mild.
Opium, without doubt, is most fear
full in it's effects, for the drunkenness
1t produces ultimately %unbalances the
mind. Grape leaves, which are smoked
in parts of western Pennsylvania, are
in some ways almost as powerful as
opium, and legislation has been under
taken against their use. Both cubebs
and corn silk inflame the mucous mem
brane and upset the digestive func-
ton. None of these evils result from
the moderate use of tobacco.
H~ygienically, strong tobacco is better
than mild, for in smoke from the mild
varieties the tiny particles are far more
numerous and tend to dry up the blood
by absorbing large quantities of mois-
ture from the mouth and lungs. For
this reason paper cigarettes, even when
unadulterated, are held to be injurious.

It is calculated that an average pun
Of cigar smoke sets free over 1000, OOo,-

liberates over ,800,000,000 OF these
particles, and one from a cigarette

A very curious fact concerning to-
bacco smoke is the remarkable change
in color which it ~undergoes after enter
ing the mouth. From the burning end
Of a cigar the smoke issues in deep blue
threads, while that which is expelled
from the mouth is Of a delicate brown
ish tint. Sir William Thompson Qord
Kelvin recently accounted for this diff
ference by proving that the minutest
particles have an intense affinity Tor
moisture.
From this he reasoned that when to-
bacco smoke is drawn into the mouth
its smallest particles are Immediately
detached from the rest by the pres
ence of moist surfaces, to which they
fly and lodge.
An error now common even among
old smokers exists in reference to the
nicotine in tobacco. The dark stain
which comes on a white handkerchief
after blowing smoke. through It is
caused by SCOT and tar from the smoke,
and not by nicotine, as nearly every
body supposes. This same stain is de-
