Among the many habits indulged in by the youth of the present d iy thfer# is boue perhaps more pernicious than cigarette suio. king. We chauced not long ago to be standing near a group of college boys wbo wore indulging iu their dainty cigarettes and discussing quite fastidiously tbe merits of different brands. Did it ever occur to these young exquisites that lho33 daiUty cigarettes might bo made of stumps of cigars picked up rboui the streets of some great city?cigars which hud been puffed from mouths tainted with leprosy, syphilis,or souieothcr foul disease ? A physician of San Francisco says that leprosy, that foulest of diseases, has not a few victims among the whites, and especially is it revealing itself about tho lips and tongues of boys who smoke cheap cigarettes made by the Chinese. A distinguished German chemist has been c uuuctiug a series of experiments ou the poisonous coustituents of Tobacco smoke, which has unmasked some startling facts. He specifies several poisonous constituents, but that which is uinst insiduous is nicotine. Only a small part of tho uicotiuc in a cigar, it appears, is destroyed by the process ofsuiok: ing aud a relatively largo portion passes off with the smoke, so that the iuhalaliou of the suioke is as damaging to the bystander as to the smoker. Dut again, tho relative amount of nicotine which passes from a cigar iuto smoke dcpcuds chiefly upon how far the cigar has been smoked, as the nicotine content of the unsuioked part of a cigar h> in iiivorao rufin In #1??? ?<* nf iKIo A W. V...O JJ-. w . ?the shorter the part the greater the nicotine. In a burning cigar it is ovident that tin slowly advancing zone of glow drives before it the distillable matter, so that a coustant accumulation takes place in the unburnt portion of the cigar. Arc snuff users aware of the fact that much of tho snuff put upon the market is made of the stumps of old cigars, picked up in the cities and doctored for domestic use? How would "my lady" (if there is unfortunately any such victim) feel, enj >yiug her siesta of snuff, if she knew its history? Much of the tobacco, so called, put upou the market nowadays is doctored for con> sumption. A chemist said to us, it is only necessary to find out by analysis the elements of a substance, thou the combination and we have it. The only question then is?''will it pay"?can we get it up cheaper thau the real article ? Given the uicotiuo and other coastituents, we can make as good a tobacco our oi oax leaves as out of genuiue tobacco . An expert can't tell the difference. It is fearful to think of the uses, or rath cr the abuses to which science is perverted Everything eaten or worn, almost, is adulterated, if it will pay to do it. Tho indulgence in all stimulants or narcotics is dangerous?it cuds in the enslavement to a habit which leads inevitably to ruin. Cue intoxicant but breeds au appetite for auothcr;oue indulgence but follows another," ''uutil appetite bocouies a universal wolf and at last cats up itself." Young uiau, throw away your cigurettcs aud assert your freedom. * - # ' "3TRA.W3 SHDW WHICtt WAY TH2 WIND BL0W3." There is no class of people more wide awake to their own interest, or uior observant of fac'.s than the drum.ner. It is his peculiar province to find out what will pay. A few days ago we heard a conversation^ between a merchant aud a drummer; 1). Do you want any decanters ? M. No. Wo want to eloct a dry ticket this year and will have no use for decanter or wine glosses. D. All right ? I am a temperance man myself, on principle. I never touched a man in my business who drauk too much that I did not lose by him. It is not tho Qrst tiun we have heard the remark made. It issomuch a matter oi history that it will not bo long before, in every examination as to qualification for any of fiec, from President to a shoe black, the question will be put?does he drink '! A number of young men were one day sitting around the fire in the waiting-room of Midland Railway, talking about total abstinence societies. Just then a policeman came in with a prisoner in handcuffs. lie listened to the young men's conversation, but did not give any opinion. Thero was also in the room Mr McDonald, a minister of the gospel, who, hearing what the young incu wcro saying, stepped up to the police* man and said : * l'r.iy; sir, what havo you got to say about temperance ?" The policoman replied : ''Well, ull I have got to say is that I nover took u tedtotaler to York Castle prison in my life, nor to Wakefield House of Correct ion either."?Good Templar, ?#i 1111 England's bottle has buried more soldiers in India than India's suu.? Chaplain ./. Gilton. 4 ? ?% 9 I A Minute's Chat wiru a Young Man?Observe that pile young follow crossing tho street. You sec a good uiany of that kiud just uow. Some say it is tho climate. The truth is that the climate of America, with a fair chaucc, produces not ouly the best complexion, but tho best health iu the world. Did you tiolico that thing lie was carrying in his mouth ? Well, it is that meerschaum which is doiug the business for him. It is busy with three millions of our mon. Let us study one of these meerschaum suckers. Pale, nervous, irritable, thin in chest and stomach, weak iu muscle, he is fast losing his power of thought and npprc ciation. Let us go near enough to smell of him. Even the beast of prey will not touch the corpso of a soldier saturated with the vile poison. Chctviug is the nastiest mode, snuffiug ruins tho voice, but smoking, among those who have time to bo thorough, is most destructive. Youog Q. graduated at Harvard (no devotee of tho weed ever graduated with brighter honors at that institution), and soon after consulted his physician with reference to his pale face, emaciation, indigestion and low spirits. He weighed but one hundred nod eight, "Stop smoking," was the prescription.? lu four months he had increased tweulycight pouuds, had bcccmo healthy in skin, his digestion all right, his spirits restored. One or two millions of our youug and I middle aged men are in a similar condition, ( and would be restored to health and spirits t by the same prescription. On the whole, the cigar is worse thsn the pipe.?Ex. | What Alcohol is Good For.?Alcohol is not. an unmixed evil. In fact, it is better unmixed, and 95 per ceut. strong, than in toddy, julep, or egg nog. Alcohol is g tod to put natural history specimens iuto. The converse, however, is not true. It is uot good to put iuto natu- i ral history specimens, even young or old 1 specimens of tho "geuus homo." It pre- [ serves in the former case, but destroys in the ] latter. I Alcohol is good for suakebites and other s cases of cardiac depression, as itvpoisouing j by aconite or digitalis, but when it has . cured tho snake bite, and an excess of the ( remedy is admitted, an old teuiperauce writer uauied Solomon, declared "it bitcth like * a serpent andsringeth like an adder," and < what is good for this biting and stiugiug ho did uot say. One thing is certain, "preven- I tiou is better than cure." - 1 Alcohol is given to reduce tho pulse and temperature in some stages of fever, but it makes more levers tbuu it cures. t Alcohol is good to put on inflamed joints | and bruises, but it causes more bruises than 1 it heals. Alcohol is used to harden the 1 teuder cuticle in exposed conditions, but ! long continued, it does not softeu the hcari t though it may the brain. < Alcolul is good to buru in lamps, where heat and not light is wauted. Though uian is not a lamp, even if he is tcu-A-ed, the alcohol he drinks heats more thai it illuuii- t nates. Alcohol is a valuable drug, and may < we speed the happy day when it shall bo 1 literally a drug on the market- ? Southern Crusader. j Youthful Depravity.?The death ol a fourteeu-year-old girl froua delirium tre- \ mens, in the city of Philadelphia a few days ago, has elicited considerable comment from the press of that city and several homilies on the social evils of the city of Brotherly Love. The Times says ; ' Here is a mere child, at an age at which our homebred girls have scarcely laid aside their dolls, not meeting a violent death suddenly, but actually kuown among ber associates for nearly two years, as the coroner's inquest showed, as a common drunkard.? A nil fhn UTitrat nf if ia fKnf Imro utau *?<? ? * isolated ease. It must be rarely, no doubt, that children so early sink into hop'cless depravity, but go dowu into the same wretch: cd quarter any day or night and you will see sights that will sicken you, of boys and girls scarcely out of infaucy following close in the footsteps of iho drunken and vicious uien and women who are their only guardians. And this is right hero in our own fair city, and we go about our business as though such things did not concern us. Should there bo any wonder, when nuoh scenes as this arc common iu a quiet city like Philadelphia that tho women of the lan d should feel that they were called on to lay aside all scruples and como to the front to sive their hearths and homos? _____ , ?

The practice of packing juries in pol itical cases in the United States Courts ii this State is a criminal violation of the in alienable right of every citizeu to a fai trial by a jury of his peers.
