Increase of the Habit in Ten Years What Physicians Say of Its Effects. There is a growing belief that th< habit of cigarette smoking has a ba( effect upon the health of those ad dicted to it. Within the past tot years the habit has ,increased s< rapidly that the sale of cigars ani tobacco for pipo-inoking, has beer materially decreased. One caus< has been the popular desire t< economfiso ; anothor, a peculiar fas cination possessed by the cigarett( for novices in emoking, who regari it as loss formidable than a cigar a third, because it is the most con vonient way of taking "whiff" be. tween the acts at the theatre, or in t few minutes of leisure anywhere ; and a fourth, because the inhalinE of the smoke gratifies a taste nol to be satisfied in any other way Ten years ago cigarettes worc smoked only by foreigners, and those associating much with them, or by people who had acquired thc habit while abroad. Now the habil has extended even to many invoter ato cigar smokers. Ton years agc it was only possible to obtain one brand of cigarottes-the Cuban from New York tobacco dealers i now it is statod that there are three hundred and thirty-eight differeni brands in the market. Several of the prominent physi cians of New York unite in declar ing that cigarette smoking is much more injurious than cigar smoking, because the smoke is generally in, haled, and often ejected through the nose. It has a particularly harmful local effect on the mucuous mem brano of the nasal passage. People who use cigarettes are much more liable than others to be afflicted with local irritations that produce ca tarrh. In persons of nervous tom poraments the doctors say eigarettc smoking always produces constitu tional effects. The pulse is increas ed in frequency, becomes smallor than is natural, and is irregular. Such persons are said by physiciani to have a "tobacco pulse" and o "t.obacco boart." The action of the pulse in this respect is not to be mistaken. Persons who constautlj smoke cigarettes, are said by physi. cians to be easily oxcitod, and tc have a tendency to vertigo, and dimness of vision, besides being troubled by dyspepsia. Bronchial and throat disease are much more readily caused by cigarette smoking than by cigar smoking, and during the past six or seven years a larg( increase in diseases of the air pas sages, due alone to this habit, ha been obsei ved. Physicians state thti there is not one fiftieth as much oJ the mucuous surface covered by ci gar smoke as by the inhaled smok< of a cigarette. Excessive indulgenc( in any form of tobacco smoking ma produce general paralysis, while by enfeebling the the circulation, low, oring the vitality of the system, and interfering with assimilation of food it tends to produce aninmia, whic: is one of the first steps towvard soft ening of the brain. Vertigo, wvher resulting from smoking strong cigars, or from the inhaling o: cigarette smoke, is due to aniemia or in other words, to a diminished supply of blood to the brain. By some it is claimed that th< paper wrapping the cigarettes is as hurtful as the tobacco. This clain is grounded upon the belief that th< products of the imperfect combus tion of the paper or other vegetable fibre, are pyro-gallic and pyro-dig. neous acids, which ma'te their pros' once unpleasantly felt ini the mucn ous membrane. The last great burglary in Balti more was a remarkably skilful and successful crime. The burglarm dug through a brick wall into jewelry store at night. The saft containing the most valuable pari of the stock was on a platform, fully exposed to sight from the street, and with gas burning bright ly. A screen was placed in front o; it, and the burglars thus worked undetected, while a confederate ix the street was ready to give warn ing of danger by je'rking a string. Compact but powerful machinery afterward abandoned,,was used ix breaking the door of the safe Watches and diamonds worth $20, 000 were carried away.

The Black Brute who Recently Mur dered an Unoffending White Man Makes a Full Confession. The Chestor Reporter of the 24th instanAi contains the confession of John Smith, who was sentenced by Judge Mackey to bo hung for the murder of Bergen Conger, commit ted on the 28th of December last. The following are the principal points of the confession : "My name is not John Smith, but Lon Mooring. I am twenty-eight years old and was born near Raleigh, N. C., and remained there until 1870. I camo down to Ohes ter on Christmas day. I walked through town, until I got to where the dirt road crosses the railroad sorne distance above the depot (near J. L. Carroll's store); there I met the man. He asked me about Choster ; whether there was any work to be had here. He asked me where was the hotel. I told him there war a hotel up town, that charged two dollars and a half a day. He asked me if thero was a cheap boarding. house in town. I told him there was one farther down the railroad. We walkod on together down the railroad, until we got about two hundred yards below the depot. There I struck him on the back of the head with a heavy stick. He fell to the ground, and then mado an attempt to riso and said, 'Please don't kill me.' I struck him again several times, and he never spoke again ; I did not put his body on the railroad track ; lie fell across the track. My object was to got his money. I took his pocket-book from his pocket ; I found in the pocket-book eleven dollars and a quarter, and a paper of needles. I also took a razor from one of his pockets. After I robbed him I went down the railroad, jumped off the bank and threw my stick into a little pond. I took the money from the pocket-book and then threw the pocket-book and the razor over the fence into the branch. I have never killed or tried to kill anybody before this ; have never robbed any body or tried to rob. I did this because I was tired travelling, and was hungry and had no money. I am very sorry for what I havedone. I know I deserve death and will try to spend the few days I have in preparing for it." AN EXPENSIVE STATE HousE.-On a motion in the New York Legislature to continue work on the New York State House in Albany, which, though having boon in course of erection many years, is not half finished, Mr. Erastus Brooks gave the following data: The new capitol was originally promised to cost $4,000,000. It has already cost $8,200,000-a sum greator than the price of the post office in New York city, with the $1,000,000 paid for the land on which it is built included-and $5, 000,000 more asked for. Probably $15,000,000 will be required to comn plete it. More money was spent to dig a hole for its foundation than1 was required to construct the old capitol. The old capito) of the United States cost but $1,500,000. The capitol at Ottawa, in the Do minion of Canada, cost but $5,000,.. 000. This new capitol of the state of New York is larger than the capi. tol at Washington, and its interior, especially the size of the Assembly chamber, is monstrously dispropor tioned to the population of the State and the number of legislators which will be required to assemble in it for centuries to come. The Assembly chamber is larger than the House of Peers in London, which accommodates 650 lords, and larger than the House of Represen-. tatives at Washington, which seats 296 members. Yet at the p resent time there are only 128 memb~ers of the Assembly. "Do you retail things here 1" asked a green looking specimen of humani ty, as he poked his head in an As sembly street store yesterday morn ing. "Yes, sir," replied the clerk, thinking he had got a customer. "Then I wish you would restail my dog ; he had it bitten off about a - month ago." And hie greenly strolled down the "sre with one eye closed.
