LEAF TOBACCO IN 1883.

Recently published statistics regarding the leaf tobacco trade of Louisville, Ky., for the year 1883 show a decided increase in volume over any other year, and a correspondingly satisfactory outlook for the future. * /' . . The sales exceed the aggregate in the next largest year’s business, 1878, by 17,872 hogsheads, and are 27,460 hogsheads in excess of the sales of last year. The volume of business is 25,859 hogsheads in excess of the average of the preceding four years, a gain of 41 per cent. A reference to average transactions by periods of years demonstrates that the expansive tendency in the business of the Louisville market is a thoroughly established factor, though in 1883 the rate of expansion has been increased beyond all precedent. The average sales in the four years ended in 1871 amounted to 54,075 hogsheads. The average sales of the four years ended with 1883 amounted to 70,757 hogsheads, showing a gain of 16,682 hogsheads. But the sales in 1883 loomed away above the average, exceeding those of any year by 27,460 hogsheads. . The course of the market in 1883 has been remarkably favorable to the producing or selling interest. The business of the year was languid and tame at the outset, suffering as it did from the depression transmittedf romthelast quarter of 1882, and from the injurious influence of uncertaintv in regard to tax legislation. But courage soon began to assert itself among buyers, and the heavy offerings which began to come forward within a few weeks after New Year’s were taken with increasing avidity. The theory came to be genterally accepted that the tax would be reduced, but also the act would contain a rebate clause to indemnify buyers of manufactured tobacco under the old rates. The final passage of the law in accordance with these anticipation gave the trade an impulse which was both powerful and lasting, and the course of affairs since has demonstrated that, notwithstanding the high cost of leaf, the lower cost of goods to the consumer, which was rendered possible by a reduction of the tax, increased appreciably the rate of consumption. There were occasional lulls of demand during the remainder of the year, but none of much consequence, until the new crop began to appear. The offerings of this crop immediately created the most fa? vorable anticipations in respect to its character, and certain of the more undesirable grades of the old fell into temporary neglect and suffered a decline. This, was soon impart recovered. The prospects for 1884 are very encouraging. There is a crop to market of unexampled excellence and of fair proportions in quantity. “ The general position is such as to afford reasonable guarantees that good prices will be realized, and besides the character of the crop will help its sale materially. Louisville will probably sell as much or more tobacco as in 1883. Her popularity among sellers has steadily increased and extended, and her trade lines are -being lengthened in all directions. The annual report of Inspector Casey to the Cincinnati Tobacco association shows the year’s business in leaf tobacco to have been the largest in the history of the market. Since March 1 there has not been a dull day. The offerings exceed by 24,071 hogsheads those of any previous year. The sales amounted to $9,522,000. Within ten years the business has trebled. The specialty of the market has been the white burley tobacco. The crop of last year contained a larger amount than usual of inferior and common tobaccos. The average price realized per hogshead was $10.84, whiclris highwhen the quality of the offerings is considered.

Not Alarmed.

What is there about a graveyard which so frightens people tljat few care to enter one at night ? Even the sailor who has faced a hurricane, or the guns of an enemy, will go a long way around, at night, rather than take the short cut that leads across the village churchyard. _ An interesting story, which is yet told at the firesides of Vermont, brings out the fearlessness of the hero of Ticonderoga, and his indifference to the superstition that then ruled in the community. There was a dispute one day in the village where Ethan Allen lived as to how far his well-known courage would permit him to go in deeds of daring. The dispute finally resulted in a wager being proposed to Allen. The terms were that he should go to the graveyard on a dark, stormy night, without a lantern, enter a certain vault, open a coflin, and lay his hand on the skull of the skeleton within. His word was to be taken as the guarantee of the performance. When the dark night came, not a few of Allen’s admirers thought that his courage would fail him. But he went to the graveyard, entered the tomb, grouped his way to a cofiin, took off its lid, and laid his hand on the skeleton’s skull. Just then a sepulchral voice exclaimed : “That’s my skull!” “All right,” thought Allen, who suspected that some one had followed-him to see if- he could frighten him; “I’ll show liim what I dare do. ” He replaced the lid, and, opening another coffin, placed his hand on its skull. Again was heard the voice, saying : “That’s my skull!” “That’s a lie,” exclaimed Allen; “no man ever had two skulls. ” From that day the villagers believed than Ethan Alien’s courage was bounded by no human limitations.— Youth’s Companion.

Scotch Parents.

» A young Scotch friend of mine, of high literary reputation, generally spends, once a year, a month with his family pn the outskirts of Edinburgh. His father is a Presbyterian minister, occupying a very enviable position. On the day of his departure, my friend invariably finds on the breakfast table, of his plate, alittle paper, carefully folded. It is a detailed account of the number of meals he has

had during his visit to his father’s house; in other words, his bill. But the son is as sound a Caledonian' as papa, and does not part with his coin before he ascertained that all the items are accurate, and the addition correct. “Why, father, I see you have marked bacon and eggs for my yesterday’s breakfast; I assure you I did not touch the eggs.” “You were wrong not to do so then, my boy; they were on the table, why didn’t yOu h£lp yourself?” I know another interesting Scotch papa who presents his children, as they come of age, with the bill of all that he has spent upon them, including the fees of nurse and doctor. The children sign and undertake to repay the outlay.— Edinburgh Letter.

A Scotch Piper.

The Orientals love the noisy music which comes from the clashing of cymbals and the beating of gongs. A Turkish ambassador who attended a London concert was asked how he liked the music. “I was pleased with the first part,” he replied. He referred to the tuning of the instruments. An Indian prince, wishing to honor the officers of several English regiments marching through his territory, invited them to an afternoon entertainment. The officers went, accompanied by the band and twelve pipers of a Highland regiment. The prince paid little attention to the music of the band, but when the pipers struck up a Scotch reel, he exclaimed, “Beautiful! That ,is the music for me! Can I get such a band ? Can I buy it ?” On being informed that he might purchase the discharge of one of the pipers and hire him to instruct his own men,‘.lie at once made arrangements to secure the services of John McK . The Highlander was appointed the prince’s head musician, given a good house, several cows and a horse and buggy, besides a liberal salary. He was arrayed in a scarlet tunic covered with gold lace, blue-cloth trousers with gold lace down the seams, a blue and gold turban, and a heavy, broad sash. Fourteen men, supplied with bag-pipes imported from Scotland, were placed under his instruction. The prince at first proposed to dress his pipers in full Highland costume. But the Scotchman’s pride could not stand seeing a native dressed up in a kilt. Sb the pipers were uniformed in green cloth tunics and tartan trousers. The prince frequently sent for his head piper to amuse him, or to soothe him to sleep by the shrill music of his own pipes. On such occasions John always received a handsome present in money. He remained five years with the prince, and then, having saved a large sum of money, returned to Scotland and set himself up in business.

Good Roads.

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman, writing from Dutchess county, N. Y., says that the town of Amenia, in that county, has tried with marked success the plan of keeping a force of four or five men at work on the highways through most of the year under the supervision of an experienced and skillful builder of roads, who gives his attention constantly to the work. Every part of the seventy-five miles of highway in the town is in good condition, and the expense of keeping it so has been much less than it could have been by the old method. The new plan has greatly relieved the -farmers, who have not been called to work on the roads at a time, when other duties demanded their attention. New York has a law ■which directs that the voters of any town may elect to adopt this plan of hiring a force of men and a competent—Commissioner to make and keep in repair the roads of their town, but the plan once adopted must be followed for not less than three years. It has been found that by the method described the roads have been kept in better condition than ever before, and that the cost of the work has actually been less than that of roadmaking by the old way.

Constitutional Question.

“ I’d like for vox; to return my saw,” said a carpenter to a colored man. “ Has I got yer saw?” “ I suppose so, for you borrowed it. ” “ An’ ain’t I dun fotched it back ? ” “No, you haven’t.” “ Wall, I tell yer; J horrid dat saw ’fore de S’preme Cou’t knocked de rocks pfen dfijQjbil Rights law ez it stan’s now says dat a white man am t got no moah rights den a nigger; in sack, dat da’s jes’ de same, habin right fur right.” ■ “That has nothing to do with my saw. ” “De mischief it don’t.

A Touching Incident.

“Please, sir, can’t you do something to assist a poor man ?” asked a miserable looking, emaciated tramp of a portly Austin property owner. “What can I do for you?” —“Give me some of your cast-off clothes.” “But, man alite, they wouldn’t fit you.” “I think cast-off clothes would suit me very well. I’ve been cast off by society, myself.” “Can’t do it, my man. Times are so hard, and taxes are so high that I have to wear my cast-off clothes myself.” The tramp then made a business proposition to swap clothes, but upon the nabob hesitating, he withdrew it aud himself, and drifted across the street in the direction of a beer saloon. —Texas Silting*. _■ Anew kind of-cloth is being made in Lyons from the down of hens, ducks and geese.

HYPOCHONDRIA.

The Mysterious Element in the Mind that Arouses Vague Apprehensions— What Actually Causes It. The narrativei below, by a prominent scientist, touches a subject of universal importance; Few people are free from the distressing evils which hypochondria brings. They cv-ie at all times and are fed by the very flame which they themselves start. They are a dread of coming derangement caused by present disorder, and bring about more suicides than any other one-thing. Their first approach should be carefully guarded. Editors Heral: It is seldom I appear in print, and I should not do so now did I not believe myself in possession of truths, the revelation of which will prdve of inestimable value to many who may see these lines. Mine has been a trying experience. For many years I was conscious of a lack of 1 a want of nerve tone. My mind seemed sluggish, and 1 felt a certain falling off in my natural condition of intellectual acuteness, activity and vigor. I presume this is the same way in which an innumerable number of other people feel, who, like my-. self, are physically below par; but, like thousands of others, I paid no attention to these annoying troubles, attributing them to overwork, and resorting to a giaal of beer or a milk punch, which would for the time invigorate and relieve my weariness. After awhile the stimulants commenced to disagree with my stomach, my weariness increased, and I was compelled to resort to other means to find relief. If a physician is suffering he invariably calls another physician to prescribe for him, as he cannot see himself as he sees others; so I called a physician and he advised me to try a little chemieal food, 0.~ a bottie of hypophosphates. I took two or three bottles of the chemical food with no apparent benefit. My lassitude and indisposition seemed to increase, my food distressed me. I suffered from neuralgic pains in different parts of my body, my muscles became Sore, my bowels were constipated, and my prospects for recovery were not very flattering. 1 stated my case to another physician, and he advised me to take five to ten drops of Magende’s solution of morphine, two or three times a day, for the weakness and distress in my stomach, and a blue pill every other night to relieve the constipation. The morphine produced such a deathly nausea that I could not take it, and the blue pill failed to relieve my constipation. In this condition I passed nearly a year, wholly unfit for business, while the effort to think was irksome and painful. My blood became impoverished, and I suffered from incapacity, with an appalling sense of misery and general apprehension of coming evil. • I passed sleepless nights and was troubled with irregular action of the heart, a constantly feverish condition and the most excruciating tprtures in my stomach, living for days on rice water and gruel, and, indeed, the digestive functions-seemed to be entirely des.royed. It was natural that while in this condition I should become hypochondriacal, and fearful suggestions of self-destruction occasionally presented themselves. I experienced an insatiable desire for sleep, but op retiring would lie awake for a long time tormented with troubled reflections, and when at last I did fall into an uneasy slumber of short duration, it was disturbed by horrid dreams. In this condition I determined to take a trip to Europe, but in spite of all the attentions of physicians and change of, scene and climate, I did not improve and so returned home with no earthly hope of ever again being able to leave the house. Among the numerous friends that called on nie was one who had been afflicted-somewhat similarly to myself, but who had been restored to perfect health. Upon his earnest recommendation I began the same treatment he had employed, but with little hope of being benefited. At first I experienced little, if gny, relief, except that it did not distress my stomach as other remedies or even food had done. I continued its use, however, and after the third bottle could see a marked change for the better, and now after the fifteenth bottle I am happy to state that I am again able to attend to my professional duties. I sleep well, nothing distresses me that I eat, I go from day to day w ithout a feeling of weariness or pain; indeed I am a well man, and wholly through the Influence of H. H. Warner & Co.’s Tippecanoe. I consider this remedy as taking the highest possible rank in the treatment of all diseases marked by debility, loss of appetite, and all other symptoms of stomach and digestive disorders. It is overwhelmingly superior to the tonics, bitters, and dyspepsia cures of the day, and is certain to be so acknowledged by the public universally; Thousands of people to-day are going to premature graves with these serious diseases, that I have above described, and to all such I would say: “Do not let your good judgment be governed by your prejudices, but give the above-named remedy a fair and patient trial, and I believe you will not only be rewarded by a perfect restoration to health, but you will also be convinced that the medical profession does not possess all the knowledge there is embraced in medical science.” A. G. Richards, M. D., 403 Tremont street, Boston, Mass.

ABE DREAMS PROPHETIC!

Some Instance* in Point—How Prediction May Be Defeated. (Troy (N. Y.) Times ] ( Ten days before his death Lincoln dreamed that "the President” lay dead in the White House, “ killed by the hand of an assassin.” When his wife heard of the tragedy she exclaimed, “His dream was prophetic! ” The majority of dreams, however, are never ftilfilled—they are too fantastic, or they are solved by contrary events. People are often possessed of the idea that they shall soon die. They find themselves the subject of strange feelings. They know they are not what they once were, and as they approach certain ages they are quite sure they will not “be long of earth.” These impressions as a rule are the result of an imagination disordered by disease, but they can be shaken off by prompt and thorough measures. We are told that very many diseases can be prevented; indeed half the deaths are said to be preventable! Hence the importance of always acting promptly in every personal emergency. Justice William Moul, of West Sandlake, N. Yf, very highly esteemed in Troy, was for years plagued by forebodings that he was doomed to an early death. He had dull and flitting pains in various parts of the body, his complexion was bad, his appetite was variable; he felt weary without known cause, was constantly constipated, his tongue waS heavily coated, and frequent feverish disorders appeared. Then followed extreme tenderness and pain in the back, great lassitude, gravelly deposits in water, which wa's dark, frothy and odorous, all indicating liver and kidney disorders. These developments alarmed him, especially since physicians did him no good. About giving up in despair, he followed the counsel of one of the Supreme Court Justices to use Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy (of Rondout, N. Y.,) as an experiment. It scatteied his bad feelings, revived his appetite, restored his liver and kidneys, renewed his blood, increased his weight by twenty pounds, and to it alone he gives the credit of saving his life'. Drcams and warnings and forebodings of early death need not always be fulfilled if proper measures are promptly taken to defeat them.

Gas.

The distances, often many miles, through which gas is transmitted before it issues are such that with any other mode of distributing power they would, says the Engineer, considerably enhance the eost of the power. Prof. Osborn Reynolds thus explains this: It takes about 10 cubic feet of gas to develop 1,000,000 pounds in a gas engine, whereas of compressed air in the ordinary way it would require 140 cubic feet to yield the same power. Hence the comparative cost of transmission is the cost of transmitting 10 cubic feet of gas against that of 140 cubic feet Of compressed air, and this would be about as 1 to 25; so as a means of distributing energy gas is 25 times more efficient than compressed air.

Solid Comfort.

Every one likes to take solid comfort, and it may be enjoyed by every one who keeps Kidney-Wort in the house and takes a few doses at the first symptoms of an attack of Malaria, Rheumatism, Biliousness', Jaundi’ce, or any affection of the Liver, Kidneys, or Bowels. It is a purely vegetable compound of roots, leaves, and berries having special value in kidney troubles. Added to these are remedies acting directly on the Liver and Bowels. It removes the cause of disease and fortifies the system against new attacks. Man y a woman who does not know even the multiplation table can “figure” in society.—Yonkers Statesman.

An Undoubted Blessing.

About thirty years ago a prominent physician by the name of Dr. William Hall discovered, or produced after long experimental research, a remedy for diseases of the throat, chest and lungs, which was of such wonderful efficacy that it soon gained a wide reputation in this country. The name of the medicine is Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Lungs, and may be safely relied on as a speedy and positive cure for coughs, colds, sore threat, etc.
