gathering. I had two surgiclal Operations by

and was constalitly weakened by a profuse dis

different times.
Matters ran oil thus aboit seven years, till
May. 1674, when a friend recolnmelided me to
go t.othe oflice, and talk with you of tho virtue
of Vegetine. I did so, and by your kindness

CIGARETTE SMOKING.
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.

THE CHESTER MURDER.
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.
