THE Turks undoubtedly understand
how to smoke better than any other ma
tiOn. They do not. seem to be harmed
by it, since. they live to a healthy old age
4 in the constant use of the weed. But,
whether harmed or not, they evidently
excel all.other people in the luxury. The
Turk uses clean clay pipe. He also
uses a long wooden stem. Thisnis the
important characteristic of the chibouk,
and the theory Of the thing is this: All
woody fibers in burning are deeomposed,
giving off quantities of water, or of oxy-
gen ard hydrogen which compose water.
This water passes off in steam or vapor,
having in solution the nicotine and other
component parts of tobacco.


What is commonly called the "oir'
lin a pipe is ninety y-nine hundredth parts
water. It cannot but be evident that
this hot water or steam, passing as it
does directly from the FIRE to the mouth
when one smokes a.short pipe or a cigar.
is uncomfortable if not unwhoIesome.
A long wooden stem, three to five feet in
length, with large bore, is therefore ad-
vantageous in this respect that it permits
the smoke to rest in the tube some time
before It is taken into the mouth. Tt
deposits its steam, and a large part Of the
nicotine, in the wooden tube, and the
smoker takes into his lips a dry smoke
The Turks clean these stems daily
with strong coffee. They prefer the
wood of the jessamine or the wild cherry
to all others, although they make pipe
stems Of every wood Indeed it is not
uncommon for luxurious Turk to send
out for the branch of large rose bush,
have his servant bore the stem with the
ever-ready ginlet and string, and then
hand the pipe to his guest blooming
with fragrant roses. Jessanine and cher
.ry stems cost, in the Turkish bazars, from
one to ten, and even fifteen dollars each.


1t is on the stem and mouth-piece that
the expense is wasted. The amber mouth
piece is itself costly-choice amber, mil
ky and delicate in color, being worth al
most its weight in gold in Oriental coun-
tries, and the mouth-p;ege is ornamented
with jewels, according to the wealth of
the proprietor. Thus a mouth piece
worth ten or twenty thousand dollars may
be frequently seen, while the bowl Of the
pipe is worth but a tenth Of cent.-N

The NASHVILLE UNION was commenced last spring
for the purpose Of opposing the Rebel Southern Con-
federacy and Of advocating the restoration Of Federal
authority without any abatement, over all the States
which have attempted TO seoede. It's object was to
proclaim the doctrines Of Liberty and Union as thoy
we're once expounded by the fathers OF the Republic
but which for more than ono year-the long and
dreary carnival Of treAon-had been tnspoken and
unwritten in the Capital of the State Of ASDREw

nasty.


The UNION, therefore, has held as friends all who
support, and as foes all who oppose the Union Of the
States. It's watchword is FnEEDoM AND NATIONALITY


with rebels and traitors Il has no compromise to
make. It contends for the Federal Constitution and
the Laws made in pursuance thereof as the SUPREME
LAW oY THE LAND, anything in the Constitution and
Laws Of any Of the States to the contrary notwth
standing.


II contends for tho Union Of the States, because
without it the preservation Of our liberties and inst
tptions and the o. ganzation of society itself
wholly impossible. Therefore, whatever stands In
the way Of crushing out the rebellion and restoring
the Union must perish, matter by what name 1t
be called.


Whom thousands Of our citizen soldiers lay down
their lives upon the altar Of their country, as sacr


ce above all earthly price, and precious in the sight
Of Heaven, God forbid that any ignobe motive Of
self interest should make any man wAver in his 10y
atty. If there be any such, let them look at the
blood Of Shiloh, Fort Donelson, Murfreesboro and
fredericksburg and blush at their wioledness and
folly. Love for our country should now overshadow
every other feeling and he is no patriot who loves
his houses lands negroes with tithe of the devo
tion which he feels for his country Even prudent
selfshness should compel 10 be patriots, for who
can hope to his treasures from the wreck ef
a ruined and dismembered Union


We want to soo tho land once more blessed with tho
enduring sunshine Of an honorable peace based upon
the complete and unconditional submission of the
rebels now in arms, and not liz up with the decetiu
glow Of peace based upon emasculate loyalty, and
concessions to trators-the glow Of a meteor which
would shine only TO betray, and going out would
leave in darkness tenfold gloomy than that
which prevailed before

UNION will continue to advocate through whatever
