ALL ABOUT TOBACCO, CIGARS AND SNUFF. AN ASTRONOMICAL FACT.

From the proprietors to the hall girl, from the bartender to the boot black, all conneoted with the establishment are women. The portresses are muscular Germans, who handle the most mammoth "Saratoga" deftly and easily.

WHITKLAW REID of the New York Tribune lately delivered a lecture on "The Journalism of the Future." One of the incidents of the occasion was the presence of Mr. Greeley, who occupied a baok seat, and who, when he entered, was received with applause. The lecture was highly commended and was well received. The journal of of the future will be far in advance of anything there is now poblished in the way 01 newspapers.

THIS New York Tribune has come to the conclusion that it is known to most intelligent people that most of the reported sayings of public men which are quoted and circulated by their adversaries with intent to subject them to odium and hatred, are lies. There was the famous apothegm attributed to Daniel Webster—"Take care of the rich, and the rich will take sare of the poor "—as naked a lie as evet was concocted—yet it was stuok to for years, and hundreds of thousands died be lieving that he had uttered it, mainly because (in their estimation) it was

Just like him."

^DM*i,«ai«r Atrti,

To BAT like a farmer or a blackgltoith used to be considered the iUM|ett comparison possible, but if Prof. Agassis and Dr. Beard are right, the student and the writer eat still more. Dr. Beard indeed asserts that three hours of study produce more changes in the tissues than a whole day of muscular labor, and that the student, therefore, requires richer and more sutatantial food. Dr. Xichola, on the other hand, argues that the less we eat the better wo think. The experience of most writers, however, leads to the possibility of the first gentlemen being in the right, as almost every one who has written long or studied hard knows that they have beoome yery hungry in cotM^qacnce.

CONSIDERABLE progress has been made In establishing manufacturing enterprises in some of the Gulf States since the war. In Georgia and Ala* bama •accesefat efforts have been made in the direction of cotton maaufecture and many thousand spindles are BOW running in sight of the cotton fields.

HA8H."

The minstrels the other night got off the accustomed Jokes on "hash." The programme of a minstrel compsny would not be complete without reference to this ranch abused dish. Ills always sure is bring a .la ugh. Everybody laughs when hash is mentioned, yet everybody likes it when properly prepared and duly certified to—established as it were by pledges of public confidence—and nearly everybody eats it. Hash is a vastly abused dish. It is mades the scapegoat for about all the gastronomic sins in the kitchen calendar, not to say cullender. There are not many of us who boarded at home, when home meant a superintending mother in kitchen as well as elsewhere, but can recall the delight we felt in those days ot innocence and sinless stomach when we discovered that "hash" was for breakfast. Was there anything superior to that rare combination of minced beef and potatoes as it came steaming from the kitchen and have your noses ever enjoyed a more savory treat than that which emanated from the maternal hash? What is home without a mother? and what is home unless she can make good hash

The way people speak of hash though, and the sneers, derision and obloquoy they heap upon it might lead one to think they never ate hash in all their lives, and yet it ttey told the truth, in nine cases out of ten, they would acknowledge a sneaking fondness for it. We have seen people turn up their noses at it when placed ky their plate at a hotel, add yet watch an opportunity to "mow it away" with a relish. We have seen others affect an absent-mind-ness, as though their thoughts were away off—scarcely of this earth, as you might say—appearing not to know what they were eating, so great their abstraction, who were more absorbed in bash than they were in thought. Then they feign disgust when they suddenly diseover what they have been eating, after it is all gone. The truth is, at some hotels and boarding houses, hash is often really the most palatable dish they have upon4.be table. I

It is fashionable to turn tip the nose at bash. "Hash-house" is a term of reproach very often applied to a hotel or boarding house whose table is in questionable repute. But, bless you, the hash isn't to blame, for, as we in-

The Mad-Stone.

WHAT iTIS AND WHAT IT DOES.

SOME OF ITS WONDERFUL CURES.

AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION.

We have just relieved our curiosity to see this wonderful little stoue with which many of our readers are perhaps fkmiliar, and have concluded to give a brief history of the rare jewel, which may be of interest and profit to the public. We obtain our information principally fr^m Mrs. Mary I. Taylor, living on north Ninth street who owns the uiad-stone generally known to exist in this city. We learn that the faith in these stoines dates back for centuries, coming to us from the East. And while various countries have at times been flooded with spurious imitations by importers willing to sacrifice their fellow men to the most horrible death for selfish gains, genuine mad-stones are said to be exceedingly scarce, especially in this country. It i» said that the Monks of Manilla carry on a lucrative trade in the manufacture of these stones which they sell to the merchants of India. The snake charmers of the Malabar and Coromandel coasts prepare them for their own use, preserving the secret. An analysis of this stone leads an emineut chemist to believe that it is a piece of charred bone, which has been filled with blood, perhaps several times, and then charred again. Belief in this theory is sustained by the fact

DEATH OF MRU. NELSON. The telegraph this week has brought the sad news of the death of Mrs. Eliz-

A RECKXT French medical journal contains an interesting paper on opium smoking. Tbe habit so prevalent in China bas been introduced in France, and It is stated that a club of young tr.en has been formed in Paris for the purpose of indulging in this dangerous practice. Tbe habit subjects the beginner to serious inconvenience, such as nausea, vomiting, giddiness, and violent headache. The opium for the pipe is prepared according to secret formula*, and acquires a semi-fluid consistency resembling a dense oil, possesses a sweet taste, and bas the appearance of extract of juniper. Tbe dose for a day's smoking, in the beginning, amounts to ISO grains. Tbe effects of this drug are to excite in the smoker first loquacity and next stupid joy, ending in a profound slumber lasting for several bouis, during which the pulse fx Us very low. The opium smoker becomes Indolent, loses tbe Inclination lor work, and at last ends as a confirmed Idiot. In the last condition tbe opium smoker has no appetite for food, becomes very lean, and his aomplexion assumes a peculiar hoe.

abethK. Nelson, the estimable wife of Johnson, sn Hon. Thomas H. Nelson, U. S. Minister to Mexico. She died suddenly of heart disease on tbe 22d ult., In a railroad car, while on a pleasure trip to Maltrata. Her body was embalmed and deposited in a church, to remain until Mr. Nelson brings it home, for which purpose he bas applied for a leave of absenoe. Her daughter a child of six years, was with her at the time. Mrs. Nelson was a native of Washington, Mason oounty, Ky., a daughter of the late Marshall Key, and sister of Judge Key of this city. She resided in this city since 1859, except during tbe years she has been abroad with her husband in Chili and Mexico. A lady of fine culture and brilliant accomplishments, she was always a welcome guest in tbe social circle, and her home was ever attractive to visitors. Her death will be sinoerely mourned by many, many friends in this city and elsewhere.

.ymptoms before he could

reach this city. James Johnson, sn early resident of this city, was bitten about tbirty-flve years sgo. The same dog bit a number of his horses and cattle. He sought the efficacy of this stone and lived several years with never a symptom of the disease but a lew days elapsed before the horses and cattle bitten were all seised with hydrophobia. Two little children living at a considerable distance from here were bitten by a mad dog. They also lived some distance from each other. One of them was brought here and fonnd relief in this stone, while the other,* within a few ditys died of hydrophobia. Joseph Hicklin, a highly respectable citizen living a lew miles west ol here, was bitten by mad dog, about twenty years ago, and learned ol the existence of this stone after the appearance of the most alarming indications. This storte was applied, every symptom disappeared and the man still lives. Hundrends of such cases could be given were it necessary. Tbe stone was last applied to the person of John Shack, of Brazil, about two weeks ago. It failed to adhere, and the dog by which be was bitten bas since been found not to have been mad.

This stone is considered by all scientific men who are acquainted with it as one of the very few genuine mad-stones in tbe United States. It bas been extensively advertised by persons who have used it, in in the New York, New Orleans and London papers at different times, but the lady to whom it belougs has never made any efforts to make known its virtues, owing to tbe foct that for many years after using it she bad little confidence in its poteucy in sll cases. She has been offered large sums of money for it, but refuses to sell it uuder any circumstanced. In every case where it "slicks" a fee of twenty-five dollars is Charged, snd where it fails to '«siick" only five dollars is charged. Her charges are exceedingly low, considering tbe danger and trouble she undergoes In every application.

FASHIONABLK CHCBCHBS do not snit all old-fashioned folks and operatic church muaic is sharply criticised by tboee who think the whole^'congregation should join in the singing, with only a bell-wether Deacon to keep a few notes ahead and lead the flock through "Durham," or over "Greenland's icy mountains," or in any other of those few e'd tunes which everybody ought to know, but sometimes don't. One suob person, evidently familiar with technical terms, shoots the following critical "canon" at the fashionable choir of the day:

The Soparano has a voice in two volumes, of great reliability and unduience, but she displays a lamentable want ot harmoriic unity and chiaraoscuro in sustaining her crotchet rests.

READER, if you have borrowed the paper you are reading, don't do it again, Subscribe. It isn't safe to borrow papers. We once knew a poor but hon-if est man, who borrowed a paper, inno-| cently and inadvertently, from a hitherto wholesome neighbor. Fatal i? act I That terrible contagion, the small-pox, wasoonveyed insidiously lols the fibres of the sheet. Of that exteu-1 slve and interesting family, a doting father, a fond wife, several intelligent and heroic sons, thirteen lovely 6 daughters, two popular mothers- in-law|« and throe beautiful aunts—not one remains to tell the tale.

WE learn that a great deal of the ex-4 pense of the burial of the poor hns of6 late been thrown upon tho Ladies' Aid -r Society. The oounty authorities allow only six dollars in^ach oase, which will|. purchase only a plain box aud p*y an express wagon for carting tbe remains to the oemetery. The undertakers refuse to bury panpers at the price fixed by the county, saying that they will giye either a dooont burial or none. Six dollars will not pay for the formor, I and heifte tbe Ladies' Aid Society Is too' frequently called on to mtke up tho deficit in the expense of a decent interment. The fund of this Society should not be used for this purpose, and tho county authorisies should certainly provide humane burial for all panpers.

The Council will lose two efficient members by the refusal of Messrs, Hager and- Peddel to servo another: term. We also learn that Mr. Coats will not allow his name to bo used on the Democratic ticket. Mr. C. has been an efficient, hard working Coun-' cilman.

Col. Dowllng Says ho Will not consent to be a candidate. The time for nominating a Democratic ticket bas not yet been fixed.

The election occurs on tin* second Tuesday in May—three weeks from next Tuesday. b:

The Counciluicn holding over are Messrs. Crawford, Ilocse, Whlttaker, Giiman and Miller—all Republicans—

so that in any event tho next City Council will be Republican in itspolitlcal complexion.

WITH a presentiment of approaching heat, there come* a refreshing thought of the cool, comfortable sliudo which is' afforded during the heated term by the shade trees which lino our sidewalks, and the remembrance that now 'Is the accepted time to plc.nt de tree*. When tbe sun falls scorching hot aud tbo beat rolls up from the pavements as if they were furnaces all aglow, peopie think they wouli plant no end to the shade trees if they could, but when the right time tor transplanting arrives we bear less talk about trees than .itany other time—except from nurserymen. Tbe planting time is bere, and why not set out trees? Why not? A man may be practical a* he pl**seF, or he may be superlatively aesthetic, but, in either event, there is no reason why he should I not plsnt trees in bfs lot, or In .ront of it. A few fruit trees in tbe garden, ornamentals in tbe ront yard and a row of maples en the sidewalk will increase the value of his property far more than he Is aware. There la plenty ot room on every street for shade trees, and now that the seseon Is in we hope our cltisens will not be backward about transplanting the beaatifol growths ot our forests to relieve our eity's dust and'
