nie ah Ports.?Dr. Vandorpoel, the health
ofilcor at New York city, has been inter?
viewed in regard to tho yellow fever re?
ports from Havana, and the probability
of its appearance along the Atlantic
coast In reply he said that some six
weeks ago he sent a gentleman to Havana
to make inquiries in relation to the sub-,
jeot, and he reported to him that the
epidemic might oe expected to appear at
that port at a very early date. Dr. Van
derpoel attributes this to the fact that last
winter was the mildest known in Havana
for many years, and when they do not
have what is called the "Northors," or
severe weather, during tho winter, the
germs of the contagion are not deatroyed,
but remain inactive until the first ap?
proach of warm weather. Buch has been
the case there during tho past winter.
The germs of tho disease cannot be de?
stroyed unless the tomperatnro he at the
freezing point. Ho says that the yellow
fevor has been latterly creeping North?
ward along the coast, and that it is very
probable its ravages during the coming
summer will be felt in higher latitudes.
It has been estimated that fully 150 cases
ooourred last summer in Charleston,
55 of which proved fatal, and this year
Dr. Yanderpoel thinks it is very likely
that the plague will be felt with moro se?
verity at that port For the present,
however, he said- there was not the
slightest danger of the contagion being
conveyed to cities along the Atlantic
coast by vessels leaving Havana. Tho
gorms from whioh it springs do not
germinate until the temperature is over
seventy degrees, and until tho thermome?
ter rises abovo this point the Atlantic
coast cities are safe.
The Methodist Recorder's winter article
on "The Overcoat Doxology" should be
adapted to spring and summer service:
??Praise Qod from whom"?and all
through the congregation there is a
general stir to find hats and draw on
overcoats, so that by the time those who
have nothing more important to do than
to join in the singing havo como to
"Praise Him all creatures here below," a
number of these same "creatures" are in
a deadly wrestle with sleeves and lining
by a backward measurement of arms.
Much they are thinking about praising
tho Highest! Their chief concern seems
to be that they shall be ready to dart out
as soon as the benediction is pronounced,
to stand on the side-walk in front and
criticise the people as they come out, or
hurry away to some less "tiresome"
place. Well, well! and the saints abovo
?"Ye heavenly host"?how pitiably
they must look down upon thin contest
between overcoat and praise to God!
Hearing the appeal of a divided, half?
hearted congregation coming up from
beneath some Heaven-pointing spire, is
it likely their pure spirits will be
wrought into a greater devotion and
thankfulness? We need not answer.
About one year from now, the national
committees of the Republican and Demo?
cratic parties wUl meet in Washington to
deoide upon the time and place for hold?
ing the Presidential conventions of 1876.
The last were held in Philadelphia and
Baltimore, and it is probable that next
year both will go West St Louis was
desirous in 1872 of having the Demo?
cratic convention held there, and as she
will repeat her request, it is possible that
it may go there next year. The Repub?
licans of the West are anxious to have
thoir convention held in Chicago, which
is so well fitted for a national conven?
tion by its extensive hotel accommoda?
tions.
It is generally believed that Governor
Tilden nas materially improved bis pros?
pects for the Presidency by his latest
victory. Having cleansed the New York
Tweed gang and sending its captain to
prison, and having attacked and over?
come the great canal ring, which had
become so entrenched that men in
power were afraid to oppose it, it is
thought that the Governor will be popu?
larly regarded as just the person who
can clean out the Augean stable at Wash?
ington. At any rate, ho is at this time
at tho height of his popularity, and Re?
publican as well as Democratic journals
are sounding his praises with great
uuanimity.
Bishop Ames tells a story of a slave
master in Missouri, in the olden time of
negro vassalage, who said to his chattel:
"Pompey, I hear you are a great
1trencher." "Yes, massa, de Lord do
lelp mo powerful sometimes." "Well,
Pompey, don't you think the negroes
steal little things on tho plantation?"
"I'se mighty 'fraid they does1, massa."
"Then, Pompey, I want you to preach a
sermon to tho negroes against stealing."
After a brief reflection, Pompey replied:
"You see, massa, dat wouldn't never do,
'cause 'twould trow such a col'ness over
de meetin'."

Recorder asked him whioh ho would
prefer, to be discharged to live with his
two wives or sentenced to State prison
for three years. The prisoner promptly
expressed a preferenoe to be locked up,
and the Judge sentenced him to State
prison for three years at hard laber.

The Meerschaum and the Weed.?
Mr. Julian Hawthorne, still pursuing his
"Saxon Studios," di?ousses the meer-|
Hchaumandtohftooo-amoking in Dresden:
The goddess Nicotine has a fund of good I
sense, which prompts her, as a general
thing, to put a smile, either broad or
latent, into tho carving of her pipes and
and cigar-holders. Tho material is more I
beautiful than eithor marble or porcelain,
and is delightful to work in. A man of I
leisure, education and refinement,
might benefit both himself and the
world by devoting his .whole attention
to cutting and polishing mocrschaum.
There is unlimited held for inventive
design, for taste, for humor, for manual
skill and delicacy. And how pleasant
to reflect that each pipe, over which we
thought and labored our best, will
become the bosom friend of some genial,
appreciative fellow, who will discover its
good points and be proud of them and
love them! For all good smokers are
married to their pipe; are sensitive to its
critics and jealons of its rivals. And
when the pipe is worthy of affection, it
endears itself ever more and more; and,
though it be colored black with nicotine,
is tinged yet moro deeply with tho rich I
essence of mellow reminiscences and
con> for table associations.
The Viennese do their work well, and
perhaps have a special knack at it I
Thero was once, in this window which
wo are now contemplating, a Skyo ter?
rier's head, about the size of a clinched
fist with mouth half open, and hair on
end, whioh only needed a body to begin
barking. It was bought by a Scotchman
for ?12, whioh, if the animal was of the
true meerschaum breed, was dog-cheap.
This question of genuineness, by-the-by,
is one whioh every tyro believes he can
settle at a glance. There are, he tells
you, a few simple and infallible tests
easily learned and readily applied; he
talks about weight, tint, texture, spongi
ness, and assures you that if you aro
ever taken in. only your own carelessness
is to blame.
It is a fallacy from beginning to end.
There \p no way of "telling" a meer?
schaum except to smoko it for at least a
year. We may amuse ourselves with ap-1
plying toats, if we like, but they will
demonstrate only our fatuity. The
dealer is as impotont to decide as any?
body, so far as judgment by inspection
goes; unless he be prompted by the
maker. But even the maker will be at a
loss betweon two pipes, the history of]
whose making he has forgotten. We
might go back still farther, and ascribe
tho only trustworthy knowledge to the
Natolian miner, who digs the clay out of
the earth. Meerschaum is like woman's
heart -as soft, as light, as brittle, and as
enigmatic; and only time and use can
prove it true!
Pipes are bought chiofly by foreigners.
Germans use meerschaum in the form of
cigar-holders?"spitzon" they call them.
Spitzen are economical, but not other?
wise desirable; they enable ns to smoke
our cigar to the bitter end, bnt they are
an unnecessary and troublesome incum
brance. Nevertheless, they aro popu-1
lar, for thoy color more evenly and far
thor toward the mouth than pipes do,
and they are more striking in appear?
ance. But I scarcely think they insinu
ate themselves far into their owner's
secret affections. A man of sentiment
may havo vanity enough to wear one in
Eublic, but -in private he will not bo I
othered with it Coarse, hard men,
devoid of sentiment, &nd of the fine!
quality which can appreciate tho quiet
charms of a pipe, are precisely fitted to
enjoy the ostentation ot a Spitze.
Tobacco plays so important a role in a

Cigar-smoking, it should be observed, is ]
not an expensive habit in Dresden; it
may be indulged to excess for not more
than ?2 a year. Half as much will pro
vide three not intolerable cigars daily.
Moreover, it is to be borne in mind that
no true-born Saxon ever throws away a I
cigar or any part of one. He consumes 1
it in installments, and his pockets and
cupboard ure full of pestilent remnants
from half an inch to three-inches long. I
A learned professor whom I visited oc?
casionally, passed his life at a study
desk, every loop-hole and oranny of
which harbored cigar-stumps of various
ages and sizes. My llrst supposition was
an eccentric recluse, whose whim it was I
to rake togelhor this kind of unsavory j
relics. But I presently saw him select
tho most ancient, stalest stump from its
hiding-place in the most oobwebbed
cranny, and kindle it into activity with
a sulphur match. He preferred such re?
suscitated corpses?an old tobacco-vul?
ture, with a morbid craving for ear ion!
This same people smoke Russian
cigarettes?tho most etherial guise under
which tobacco presents itself. The
variety used is Turkish, and is the
purost and finest in the world, but so
p ungent that?except hookahs?the ciga?
rette is the only available form for it
Ladies smoke these cigarettes, though
only the Poles and Russians do so pub?
licly?they, indeed, smoke cigars quite
as readily, and for my own pen I much
enjoy the spectacle. Not only do they
appear admirable as regards their dainty
manipulation and oycnlationof tho wood,
but their smoking lends an Oriental
flavor to the scene, whereof the fumes of
tho Latakia are but the material emblem.
When an English or American lady
smokes, she simply commits a small im?
propriety; but in the mouth of a fair fo?
reigner, who has been brought up to
know no better, a cigar is a wand to con?
jure up romantic visions and Eastern
fantasies. The gentle reader will under?
stand ine aright, nor seek to put me out
of countenance by evoking images of
coarse, black-pipo-pufling Indian squaws
and Irish women.

HISS ANNA E. DICKINSON
Will deliver her intensely thrUling sketch,
entitled
"JOAN OF AEC I"
6CrpO sum up ANNA DICKINSON and
B express her beat, in fewest words,
as she is in reality and personaUty, it is
no extravagance of speech to say that of
the many strange and remarkable per?
sonages that talent, ambition and revo?
lutions have given to ? the world, none
have been so marked, on the woman side
I of the race, as Miss Dickinson. She is
the crowning personage of a peculiar
olass of genius and greatness, headed by
Hypatia, and succeeded by Joan of Aro
and Fanny Wright In ability, she stands
side by side with the former and the lat?
ter, and in the wonderful display of her.
meteoric eloquence and brilliant genius,
she ranks with Joan of Arc, the Heroine
of one nation and the captive of another.
1 Her eloquence is not the studied acquire?
ment of sohools and seminaries, but the
gift of God. It transcends all discipline,
and hi the most perfect fruit of genius.
In oratory, no man is her superior. Her
eloquence draws multitudes of men and
women, of divers creeds and nationali?
ties, to hear her discussions, and in fu?
ture ages she will shine in history as the
brightest girl that the nineteenth century
gave to America."?Philadelphia Press.
