Unquestionably, this is the most important fact in contemporary history. It is u new fect; it cannot be compared with any coznate phenom- enon in the past, so that it offers a fine field for those who like untrammeted political specula- tion.

It Is against the habit of sinoking cigarettes in large quautities, with the belief that these miniature doses of nicotine are innocuous, we desire to enter a protest. The truth is that, perhaps, owing to the way the to- | bacco leaf is shredded, coupled with the fact that it is brouzht into more direct relation with the mouth and air than when it is smoked in a pipe or cigar, the efiect produced on the {nervous system by a free consumption of | cigarettees are more marked and characteristic than these recognizable after recourse to other modes of smoking.

A con- siderable number of cases have been brought under our notice during the last few months, in which youths and young men who have not yet completed the full term of physical development have had their health seriously impaired by the practise of almost incessantly smoking clgar- ettes.

The only witness of the occurrence was Mr. Brennan’s eight-year-old daughter Emma, who watched the menas they came up the stairs. They noticed her and took her into the room with them to prorat her making an outery. She watched ‘hem closely; and when they went out of the room, endeavored to attract attention to them, but they escaped. She was, however, able to give so close a censspon of the thieves that Officer Mahez, of the fourteenth precinct, had little difficulty in identifying one of them as Edward Friendly, who pleaded guilty in the court of general session, and was sent to the state prison for ten years by Judge Cowing. by the | Stoh women. whe hed. | convicted. | MUSSELL BKOWN’S CHIME.

He was taken to the room where the dead woman lay and closely questioned. Manifesting no signs of fear or contrition, he told the story of the tragedy without hesitation. On arrivingat the mansion, he said he and M Glew hitched their horse and effected an en- trance to the house, Brown being familiar with the premises, Then they erepi stealthily to the room which the boy usually occupied when staying there. According to the prearranged plan, MeGlew crawled into the bed and drew a sheet over his head. Brown then went quiet) to his grandmother's sleeping room, which was directly across the hall from the one occupied by Gen. Dorriss. The boy then tells the story: “I called to her saying. ‘Grandma, Uncle Tom Is sick and wants to see you.’ She got up and went with me to my room. Going up to the bed, she leaned over, and, pulling the sheet back, saw McGlew. I was afraid then that she would scream, so I took her by the throat and held my hand oyer her mouth. “MeGlew jumped up and helped me, and while I choked her he took her rings from her fingers. Ithought she had fainted, and so we put her in the bed. I then ¢an into her room and took her watce and chain from under her pillow.

From a late Sootch Letter. The obstinacy of the Queen ts proved by the’ open, persistent favoritism shown to her “ gilite” or valet, Join Brown. Incomprehensible and meaningless, it gonads almost to madness her immediate entourage. and every open or tacit opposition only causes tt to be more manifest. That proudest of proud women bas been made, by a preconcerted plan, to see this servant of her's inthe most degrading state of drunken- ness, almost at her very fect, aud yet, with en infatuation stronger even than femininity, her manner to him rewained unchanged, and she made no sign that could give aclue to her secret thoughts. Ladies in waiting of exalted rank have rebelled openly against the breach of etl- quette his familiarity has created, and retused to be made a party to it; but snubbed by them, he was only the most graciously treated by his royal mistress. He follows her like a shadow from palace to palace, in public and tn private, behind her chair at her meals, in the rumble of her carriage in her drives, bending over to ex- change a few werds, and calmly possessing hime self of her fleld glass to inspect some distant maneuver at a review. The Queen does not slacken the reins on her son's necks when they marry; she orders, dl- fein at home and abroad, and scorns no minutte of detail. Just as she allows no impulse of independence.

A freight and ballast train on the main stem of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad collided yes- terday morning a few miles west of Ellicott City. Twenty-five men were engaged in load- ing the ballast train, when a frei ronnded the sharpcurve near Wood's switch at a rapid rate of speed, and _ before the ballast train could move on dashed into it. The two loco- motives were thrown down an embankment into the river fifteen feet below. The engineer and fireman of the freight train saved their lives by jumping from the locomotive, though the tormer was seriously injured by escaping steam from the boiler, the gauge cocks of which were broken in the collision, thus allowing a great volume of steam to escape. His face, hands and lower limbs were badly scalded and burned, though by presence of mind in placing his hands over his mouth he avoided inhaling the steam. The fireman was also slightly scalded and sprained one of his ankles. ——__—e.__ A New York Divorce Cast Penpixe Five Years.—In the action in the supreme court ot ew York for divorce, by Mr. Campbell against his wite, Anna Louise, on the ground of adul- tery, a motion for alimony and counsel fee was made yesterday onthe part ef defendant, the further hearing being adjourned. Mr. Campbel sued for divorce five years ago, but the parties settled their differences and went south to Sa- vannah a yearago. There they quarreled again, and Mr. eine returned to New York and Mrs. conpbel brought an action in Savannah for abandonment, retaining A. Hatt Adams, of that state, recently elected a Judge of the supe- rior court, as her counsel. He endeavored to have Mr. Campbell extradited, but Governor Cornell refused to sign the papers. Mrs. Camp- bell recovered a verdict of 10,000. year ali- mony, and Mr. Campbell was 01 to pay her $15,000 on August 1, 188%. He was, how- ever, out of the court's jurisdiction. Mr. Camp- bell then brought his present action in May last. In yesterday's motion Mrs. Campbell swears that her husband is worth 500,000, and that when living together they expended at the rate of cho pee sane. He denies this, and says he is worth but $100,000. LEGISLATION REQUESTED BY THE NEw Yorke Boarp OF TRaDE.—At @ meeting of the New York pipe nah — yestersay ——— were adopted ask!

Maretzek tells a story—well founded, if not true, as the Italians say—in his new series of “Chrochet and Quayers” which he is now writing for Music and Drama. It re= lates to the battles which were carried on by two rival factions enlisted on the side of Mme. Gazzaniga and Mme. Frezzolini, respectively, during an opera season at Havana. Max writes- “In spite of all my dramatic skill tosus- tain the balance of power between the beilig- erents, the ‘Gazzanivas’ gained ground on the ‘Frezzolinos.’ The first husband of Mme. Gazzaniga, Marquis de Malaspina, having ac- cess to the asistocratic society of Havana, made easy proselytes tor his wife among the nobility, while Frezzolini's energetic style pleased the gallery boys just as well. Frezzolin's party’ consisted = of the tiers-estat, composed of artists, poets, mu- sicians, students and foreigners, who could fully appreciate the poetry in Mme. Frezzolini's singing. The ‘Gazzanias,’ more powerful and more bold, would not shrink from any strat- agem, however Machiavellic, to insure success to their party and beat the opposition. One evening, at a formance of Traviata, Mme. Gazzaniga, at her entrance, received a shower ot bouquets, but, without acknowledging the compliments by the usual siniles and conde- scending bows, went at once toward a cunning ~ little white wreath, took it up, looked at © it, threw it indignantly on the floor, and more ee |, stepped to the footlights, and held the wreath at arms length fore for their con- templation.
