George Augustus Sala bears en-
phatic testimony in favor of smok-
ing. "The allegation" he says, ''as
to smoking Supplying q mans fac
ulties, or bunting his energy, take
to be mainly nonsense"
Oliver Wendell Holmes says of the
lmeerschaum: HE nho inhales its
vapors takes q thousand whiffs in
single breath; and one cannot touch
it without awakening the old joys
that hang around it, as the smell Of
flowers clings to the dresses of the
daughters of the house of Farina.''
1t has been said that James Russell
Lowell used q number of ordinary
pipes in succession and lay each
aside after it had been fairly well
smoked down. Later he would gath
er the "dottels," or, as some smokers
call them, the "heels," from some
half dozen of these pipes and cram
them into an enormous tube and have
a %'real smoke" as he expressed it.
Another distinguished Harvard pro.
fessor once, "swore off, for six
months and kept strictly to his self
lHlpOscu ODllSAClOH. ne reIIlarkeQ, at
the end of the time, when he resumed
smoking, that his appetite had been
good, he had slept we'll and his health
generally had not suffered, "but," he
said, II lost six months of happiness"
and ever afterwards he smoked like
u chimney.
Both Carlyle and Tennyson smoked
pipes, and ,Tennyson's writing den
was supplied with two boxes, one
with a supply of new Church war
dens" and the other to receive the
broken fragments of the once-smoked
pipes, for he never used the same
one twice, although an incessant
smoker.
Harriet Martineau used to smoke
big cigars on back stoop with
Wordsworth ''in the cleaning Of the
famous Lake district of England.
Dickens both ''snuffed" and smoked,
and Nine. Blayaesky, the author of
Iris Unveiled" and the high priestess
of theosophy, was veritable cigar
cite fend.

A NATIONS NEGLECT.
Tomb Of William Henry Harrison
in a State Of Ruin.
Il IL Located Mt North Bead, o., Not
Far from Cincinnati-Should BE
Marked by an Appropriate
Monument.

Cincinnati has perpetuatcd the
memory of one of Ohio's bravest SOL
diers and most distinguished states
the artistic equestrian statue of Gen.
William Henry Harrison, that COM
mands the Vine street entrance to
Garfield place. At North Bend, o.
the place where the dead statesman
lived at the time he was elected presi-
dent-his ashes lie in tomb which is
in state of neglect. That fact speaks
but lily of the respect which the ma
ton shows for the memory of those
who helped to make it great.
The Insignificant tomb stands on a
little knoll and overlooks the broad,
tawny Ohio river, which there makes
a wide sweep to the southwark. An
ideal location for the eternal home
of one who loved the spot, even as
dearly as he loved his country.
A dreary looking tomb it is at its
best. No one could have planned an
abode more enthusiastically severe.
The cold gray granite, damp and
dank, peers from the ground like the
rude foundation for some house which
was never built. Over the iron door
of the vault-which is reached by Il
path through small cut in the hill
side-stands the legend Harrison"
The door itself seems imbedded in
the stone wall, implanted and rusty,
and marked and married with the
scratchings of vandals. Names are
scrawled across thames of those
who are unknown, and whom no one
need know. A rusty iron lock. which
might be smashed with one blow, is
all that keeps the door fastened and
prevents the vandals from further
Decorating the abode of Harrison.
The path leading to the door is lit
tered with rubbish and underbrush.
Hosts of weeds mar the beauty of the
green turf from which they spring.
No one cares, or seems to care, how
the spot stands as monument, not
to the soldier-statesman'sw worth, but

he was not prominent. He is like all
successful politicians in his ability to
conciliate opposition and win support.
The Saturday Evening Post tells
story of the way he makes friends
for himself and his party. 1t says that
during the campaign of 1900 he was
making many speeches. AS he,faced
a large audience, in his home city of
Springfield, he saw in the audience a
fellow townsman who had formerly
been an influential republican, but
who had Joined the opposing party
and displayed dangerous activity in
its support. This man arose from his
seat and apparently was ready to be-
gin series of "catch questions" Be-
fore his intention could be put into ex-
ecution Senator Cullom paused in his
speech, and, in a conversational tone,
called out:
John Simpson, you're too old man
to stand up in any audience that talk
to; just come right up here and hold
down this chair next to mine.''
The invitation was accepted, and at
the close of the mass meeting the
man announced that he was "back tc
the foA'' and had "come to stay"

jority. He was at once appointed to
q position in the foreign Office and
soon promoted to the important post
of secretary to the premier, at that
time Depretis. Upon he accession of
Crispi he retained this important
billet, and during the long period of
this statesman's service was not only
his trusted secretary, but his valued
friend and adviser. Signor des
Planches accompanied his chief in his
various trips through Europe, and
was several times an honored guest
at Carlsruhe, forming q friendship
with Prince Bismarck which endured
until the death of the great German
statesman.
The new ambassador from Italy is
not partisan and has always refused
to associate himself with the oppos-
ing parties, counting it sufficient
honor to serve his country and his
king as Acknowledgment. 1t is this,
the fact that he has been free from
embarrassing alliances and without
bias, that has won him the confidence

recently accredited Signor des Plan
ches upon leaving the home office
acted for four years as charge DAT
flares of the Italian, legation at
Berne, and for three1years previous
to his present appointment was Ital-
ian minister at Belgrade.
The new Italian ambassador, like
his predecessor, Baron Fava, for so
many years a conspicuous figure at
the capital and long regarded as one
of the handsomest members of the
diplomatic corps, is tall and well pro-
portioncd. He is of the blond type,
SO rarely met in Italy, with express
sive blue eyes, soft brown hair, in
clined to wave, and pale complex
ion. He dresses in excellent taste,
and the handsome court dress which
he wears, decorated as it is with or
ders bestowed upon. him by the vari-
GUS countries in which he has served,
will be one of the most conspicuous
at the white house receptions.

nnctrian Camel. Are Tourh.

Travellers in Siberia have noticed
with much surprise the ability of the
native camels to Withstand, without
protection, the greatest extremes of
cold and heat. In winter the ther-
mometer on the Monaghan plateau
sometimes drops to 40 degrees Fahr-
enheit, yet the camels wander about
with no evidence of suffering. On
the other hand. the Russian explorer,
Prejevalski, found the temperature
of the ground in the Cobb desert in
summer to be more than 14O degrees
Fahrenheit, but the camels are APP
parently as Indifferent to this degree
of heat as they are to the winter
cold.

GOOD NEws.-In devoting large por-
ton Of our space this morning to federal
intelligence, copied from the Memphis
Bulletin of the 18th, it should be remember
ed that the news IN the original truth is
whitewashed by the Federal Provost Mar
shall, who desires to hoodwink the poor
Northern white slaves. The former editors
of the Bulletin being rather pro-southern
men, were arrested for speaking the truth
when truth was unwelcome to Yankeedom,
and placed in the chain gang working at
Warrenton, where they now are. This
paper at present is in duress and edited by
pink-nosed, slabsided toad eating Yam
kee, who is a Iineal descendant Of Judas
Iscariot, and a brother german Of the
greatest Puritanical, cycophantic, bowling
scoundreI unhung-Parson Brownlow.
Yet, with such a character this paper can
not cloak the fact than Gen. Rob't E. Lee
has given Hooker, Milroy and Co., one Of
the best and soundest whippings on record,
and that the ''glorious Union'' is now ex-
ceedingly weak in the knees.

she crossed the Yankee lines in search OF

indeed soldiers child; she has been born
amid the roar of cannon, the clash of arms,
and the uncertainty of battle. The for
tunes of war are to be Iikened unto a
