Like most broad qucstions of the kind, it involves far too many con siderations to admit of being an swered by a plinl yes or no. A Mediea roan, Dr'. E 3. Gray, who has bng been a moderate smoke, aIId watches the effect, of the habit on himself and othcrs, here offers what he believes to be the true answer to the question. First of all, there must be an undersL:tnding about the quality of Ihe tobaWCo to be smoked. !ad, i. e., rank. quickiy intoictingl :uol prostrating tobacco (ecrini'n kinds of sia" and cavcndish, fo r ist-anlce.) most avays be ilnju ious. Few -aI srmoke them at al-none ialtinilv at leasL with impnity. So. too, Wi h re r1 0 toi:nnt; even good to. b.acco smlloked t> excess will. to a cert."Inty, be injrious to tle m Sooner or lIer, in sone w:I or atNoLher. Of the vaious evil eUfet of exessive smoking, IIMT will be s:nd presently. Ne:t. as to the smoker. There are people to whomI any tobacco, how ever smoked. is simply poison. caus U -. even in smail doses, voi. iao. rm-, and abarming pnos. a onI. Sack people n-ever get se-asoneld s its ei:ects, evet aier repeated iials. and if they a:e wise inV1 will frever let it alone. TheV wiil disputy stil fither Is dom' by not, pi-esuming . mae laws f6- others who have not the s:ihe idior:necraer. No One can enjoy smoking or soke with impunity, when out of heallth. The phrase "out of healtii, though it may sound vague, is deitae enough to f-aml a .ene*a rule. At the same time it is useful to know what, if any, are the park*eular disorders and condiiios of health in which to baeco does special harm. As far as the writer's knowledge goes, these have never been specified by medical writers as cleacly as is To0 ben a man wiJi a bad ap neIie wi 1. if he smoke, m1ot as S1tredy eat still less-a noLewor Siy nt i r smol:ers -r otbers re 1'0veI*!1r I rom a was;in'g iliness or O i thei feet'' from whatever r-:,iC.

I MAking the Most of its Op- I portiunities--Ku Kluxism s Mace to Pay. We have frequently fastened upol the Tbicc-N, Own and Grant's s Own-the Union here-its large i share of the responsibility t hat at- o taches to it for its infamous part d in bringing upon South Carolina S Grant's troops, and all tihe mate- tj rial dimage that has resuilted to b Us fir tle mlii!-:l1ry pr(ocee(lings % ar:iel out in this State. It has a mai.1de all tile monev it could out a of tih State printinrig, and the in- d dications are that 1ts slice of theo pie has riot been a Sm:ll1 one. But tj it has, fir-ther., mn1ade ail tle mllone 1 it could out of the ll Klux trials. C The fCt of' the ma.tter is : Th is o is precisely what these people are t< at. Twy are .er the 2nay, and, n after illin.g their p:ock ets, they tj expect to go elsewhere with their I ill-gotten gaiIs. .No sooner had y tle Kil KIlIx trials beenl provided I: for, than the Union advertised C freeky tlat it would .publih fall b) reports I the trials, :uLd it calledil 11poln the peopie of the State to C siub-cribe to it at the sla't. Tlese r jople nrot onlV aLIIse and injurre tj hlie wIi tes of tIe Stae, but LIIey filrthe0r call orr th' whites to pay the expenses-and, we are c, sorrv to add, that in too many i cases they do it. Here, for ill stance, tihe U,&on ias brngged of' a re support it gets from adverti- b sers. ard yet it has inflicted blow e after blow upon the initerests of1 it Columbia. But to go on. After f the Kui Klux tria!s are inaugura- e ted, the Unim publish verbatim v reports, atnd. as we were informed, , got, by some arrangement, eight a cents per line from the United a States Government, and yet it has b had tire audacity to claim that It a was its private capital and enter- f( prise that had undertakeni this 0; work. But this is not all. It is a to make more money yet. We u learn that it has secured a copy- h rightot tire Ku Klux proceedings, and thus it will make Ku Kluxism F more valuable yet. We observe, tl for instance, that Huglev has of fered a resolution to auithorlize tire furnishin; caclh member of the Iouse twenty-five copies, in pam pilet form, of. the official proceed. Li ings 'of tire late Ku Klux trials F held in thi.-z city. We suppose d some ''ov:d" Senator will <io the u sa m for thre Snale.

A SHAMEFUL CONFESSio.-Ac cording to a reliable Radical sheet 0 of thi city, the Administration will not go to war with any for cignl power, and particularly with Spain. The reason is that "our lavy is almost worthless." For six months after the first shot should be fired, even the Spaniardt L ou'd "have it all their owu way." We would not be able to get the upper hand in a war until we had built a new navy at an --iinmense c:,st." These are pretty admis. sions from a Ladical organ. The Radicals siave now been in power in this country fbr nearly eleven years. and have .pent in that timc $5,000,000.000 of the people's mon ey, arid yet we are told to-day t.hat we are in no condition to en gagre in war with any foreign power for the protection of oui flag and our citizens, because wc should inevitably be whipped.

Travelling in Italy many years ago, we visited some of the dairy farms in the neighborhood of Fer rara. Interspersed among much of the low-lying unhealthy land, remarkable for the prevalence on it of very fatal forms of anthrax in the summer season, are fine un dulating pasture lands, and the fields are of great extent. We happened to stop at a farm house one fine autumn afternoon when the cows were aboat to be milked. A herd of over 100 was grazing homewards. The women took their positions with stool and pail close to the house, and as the cows approached, names were called out which, at first, were, we thought addressed to he milkmaids. Rosa, Florenza, Giulia, Sposa, and nany n Cames, which were noted by us at the time, were called out by the OVerscelr. or One Of the women, and we were astonished to see cow after cow cease feeding or chewing the eud, and make direct, some times at a trot, for the woman that usually milked her. The practice, we found. was not Nil tined to one firmn ; all the cows on each farm knew their respective nam4111es, and took up their position; they open just as readily as the in dividtual members of soeic largo herds in this coun try ti rnitg from the fields to take up their places in the sheds."
