Who Should not Smoke.
'Is smoking injurious ?" This
is an every-day question apt to be
put by patients to their doctors.
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

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

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. Thus we n
arC 10 hiaVC the State saddled with a
tIre heav expenses attenldarn1t up. a
on frnising each ne be' of' the S
Legislatur'e with twventy fiye cop' p
ies of tire voluminous proceedings b

mit thatri Tim 1[urley woulid have ur
beeni doinrg tire State far more tl
service if' hre were to get thre Leg. p
isatu re to distr'ibunte hris own book p
on the r'obberies arid r'ascalities of si
the State ofilcials. Ini this way, si
come weal, come woe, the Union si
must make money ourt of Ku u
Kluxism to tire last. if' Ku Klux. S

idor of the second rank, and j
[ama Gucki, Assistant Minister r

or of the second rank, arrived at
an Francisco on Monday last, on
.e steamer America. The Am- t
assadors have with them twenty
x attachecs, sixteen secretaries L
rid interpreters, sixteen servants t
nd twenty-three Japanese st- Ii
ents, who- are bound for New
ork. This is the most impor
int emibassy ever sent from Ja- J
an, and comes for the purpose of' i
inferrin wi,,h the (s'overrnments

lashington with the embassy.
[on. Charles W. Brooks, Japanese'
oisuil, also accompaicies the C1m- c
:tssy. Mrs. I)eLonig, the wife of o
ic American h'iaister, has in ri
barge six Japanese girs of' high
mk, who are to be educated in
is country.
A late edict of the Mikado says: i
Ny country is now under-going a /
>mplete clianre from old to new u
leas, which I sincerely desire. t
'herefore, I call on all the wise a
ld stro'lg-minded to appear and v
ecome good.guides to the Gov
rnment. )uring the youth time, h
is positively necessary to view
>reign countries, so as to become
ilightened as to new ideas of the t
,orld, and both boys and girls, <
-ho will soon become men and <
-omen, should be allowed to go
broad, and my country will be r
enefitted by this knowledge so ,
eqiired. Females have hereto- <
ire had no position socially, be
ise it was considered they were 1
'ithout understanding ; but if ed
ea.ud and intelligent, theyshould 1

The embassy will remain in San

on. For several years, she was
te mi.,tr'ess of A. P. Ci'ittenden, a
r'ominrent lawyer and D)emocratie
olitician of San Francisco. Last

as then visiting the Atltntic

'it h a pistol and killed Critten
en. as lie was sitting by the side
Ihis wife, on the Pac-ilic Railroad

'as arriving ini the city. Mirs
air' was tried for the murder, and
as convicted, after' a longt and

Neville's Ditching Machine.
fj The notice of this extraordinar
inventioi which appeared in oui
> agricultural column last week. i:
wortliv of very special attention
SIt is declared by a committee o:
I most competent gentlemen ap.
pointed by Colonel Ilarvic, th<
President of the Virrinia Agri
cultural Society, to test its merits
f that "at an average gait of v
plongh team rif four-horse power,
this machine, at each furrow, wil
s gain a depth of one and a half in
bes, cut the diteh very smooth
ly and doing the ditching, when
we had it in a sandy soil, very
I perfectly. They say it is the best
di;.ching machine they have "ever
seen." One member of the com
mittee says: "I have seen this
i machine in a stiff clay soil, with
equally good results as those men
tioed, and am satisfied that it
will cut 1,500 yards per day, at a
depth of three feet.
This machine is the invention of
Mr. G. W. Neville, who lives in the
imnediate vicinity o Richmond.
I t is the result of years of a;xious,
thought and labor, and the ex
I Pelidiue of all the means in his
han1ds. Like all coltrivaices of
mrit it has entirie simrplicity of
)pinn, is capable of operating Onl
any ground wh )re a plough could
o, and can be adjusted to making
ditcies of almost any 'width or
d(,eptll that is commonly needed.
It is not liable to breakiig or -vet
till out of order, aid can be sold
fm" a sum probably Iot exceeding,
8125. We hope tha. it may be a
source of p..oit commensurate
with the vast benefit which it
pr,nises to confer upon the coun
try. It is impossible to calcu!ate
the value of'such a machine in any
part of the world, especially in a
country like ours.-Central Pres
byteriln.
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.

The Cow's Intelligence.
The London 3ill; Journal says:
"That cows have memory, lan
tle, signs. and the means of en
joying pleasant assotiation, com
bilting lt*6 aggressive purPoe(b,
has been recogn1ized. but searcoly
to the extent the subject merito.
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."

The re,ignation of Colonel Cothran was
accepted-be stating that he had only
taken the position ot Pre<ident as a tem
