Fhere1s 1o perceptible decrease in price, cither to dealer or consumer, and one cannot readily understand why the brands now on_the market are 8o poor. Uf course the tax is ex- cessive on both home and imported cigars; but then, in spite of such duties, better cigars should be sup plied for the price. Ten years ago, even, a comfortable smoke could be procured in New York for 15 cents, a far better one than can now be had for almost double the money. This was not owing to lessened duties, but to the fact that there were noi so many smokers, and that better wrappers and fillers were used in ths manufac- tuze, and that a cigar was seldom ex- posed for sale until it was thoroughly cured, Now, however, all is changed, and one-half of the domestio cigars are smoked before they have had time to take on a sweat.” The speaker was an old cigar-dealer, and the above plain talk wasaddressed to The Star reporter, who had in- vested in a cigar with a foreign name that drew as hard as & canal boat. As the weed he had been purchased over the dealer’s counter, he felt in duty bound to say something by way of apology. By degrees the scribo led him to speak about the tricks of the trade. “The majority ot cigars,” said the dealer in smokers’ articles, “are flav- ored now a days. This expedient is resorted to in order to conceal the in- ferior quality of tobacco used in the manufacture. A decoction of opium and rum will impart a delicious scent to the tobacco, and also cause it to quickly. They are hurtful, however, as every one knows. After smoking a half - dozen such alleged Havanas in a day, the brain and lungs seem disordered, tho tongue is burned and swollen, and tiny blisters appeag in the mouth. No matter how poor the tobacco, there would be no such injurious results were it not for the drugs used in its manufacture. When a man gets hold of a genuine Havana m the present generation he experi- ences something akin to a foretaste of Hardware, Iron and Steel, JLAN & LANGWORTHY, Wholesale, 110 an¢ (12 16th wezoet A.

LEISENKING, M, D, Giasouic BIock, 2 | desires a good article, he must of nec- Paradise.” The statement made by the tobacco- nist proved an incentive for an in- quiry into the manufacture and im- portation of cigars in the city ot New York and the revenue to the govern- ment from that source, During the past year, 681,762 pounds of tobacco entered the port of New Yorkina legitimate manner, and prabably one- terth as much more was smuggled in, The amount of duties paid on impor- tations of cigars was $2,673,145, and no eare is exercised in the wrap- ping. Opium and poor liquor are treely applied to the leaf before being rolled, and the cigar is thus made to burn froer and is given a stimulating taste. Many of the tonement house products are reeking with infectious disease, and there ocan be no doubt but what sickness is in many instances disseminated in this manner. Infe- rior grades of cigarettos are also doc- tored with opium, and work much harm to their consumers, CIRCUS FLYING MACHINES. Springs and Levers That Hurl Men Headlong Through the Alr, New York sun. A trick, which is very little under- stood, is the *“‘aerial dancer,” of which Sig. Farini is the originator, although it has been patented in the form first seen here by other persons. It was in 1867 that, seeing a boy at play with a ball at the end of a rubber cord, the querry ocourred to him, “Why, if I have & proportionately strong string of a rubber, can I not flirt a man about as that boy does his ball?” About that time George Conquest was doing tho ‘‘Lulu jump,” in a way of his own, by means of an invisible wire, counter-weighted behind the scenes; and that gave another idea to Farini, for the combination of rubber springs and a wire to produce the new eftect. As he was too busy to work upon it himself, he gave t{m idea to a man named Dande, who brought it out. As performed in theatres, the aerial dancer requires three machines. The first of these consists simply of aswiftly-trav- elling spiral, and rubber springs suffi- cionfiy strong to balance the dancer's weight. With this apparatus the per- former at each bound rises twenty or thirty feet from the stage and alights again, either upon tho floor or an out- atretohed hand, with the lightness and grace of a butterfly settlingdown upon a flower, every motion huingmmtmfled by the turning and stopping of the spiral. The second machine has eprings, with a tension a little less than tho performer’s weight, which allows a downward leap, with easy alighting, from a great height. The third ma- chine is exactly the reverse, with an excess of strength in the springs, and effectsan astonishing apparent upward leap from the stage out of sight among the mysterious region of ‘‘sky bor- ders” aloft These three machines have now been combined in one, with great simplicity and effect, by Big, Farini, for working from the ground in a circus tent instead of from the “flies” of a theatre, There are three wheels, laid to- gother, with a circumference respec- tively of 15 feet, 16 feet and 3 feet. Around the firat passes the wire which is attached to the performer; around the second, a rope which, as it is pulled by men behind a_screen, gov- erns the movements of the individual at the end of the wire; around the third, a strap attached to rubbers of sufficiont tension to! overcome the About 500,000,000 domeatic cigars were turned out, and probably 175,- 000,000 were smoked in the city. The remainder were sent out through the United States to the trade. New New York also made about 275,000, 000 cigarettes, of which one-half were consumed by her cigarette smoking young men and women. The exact revenue to thegovernment could not be ascertained, as the fiscal year does not end until July. Itis safe to say, however, that tho sum total ag- gregates millions, as one firm alone paid a tax of $311,879. “Imported cigars were never in greater demand,’” said the large whole- sale dealer in imported goods to the reporter. ‘‘Henry Clays and Reinas are still the favorites, and command all the prices from §75 to $250 a thou- sand. A fair cigar can be furnished for $120 a thousand, but if a person essity pay a HMigher figure, The grades which are most in demand are those that can be sold over the coun- ter for fifteen cents single or two for twenty-five cents. “Straight tens” and ‘‘three for a quarter” grades are usually domestic cigars bearing Span- ish names. Key West, fair article, range from 76 to $126a thousand. There is no denying the fact that im- rted brands are inferior to to the importations of ten years ago, There is 80 great a demand for them that the quality of tobacco is not nearly so fine; and then, again, there are more ma- chine made goods put on the market. Many of the manufacturers make their performer’s weight, Then thgre isa narrow drum, upon which ai encir- cling steel band acts as a brake to make the dancer's motions slower or swift, or stop him at any point. Pull- ing on the rope stretches the rubbers to their fullest extent and allows the desired, jerks him up sixty feet or one foot, just as the hand of the brake regulate the force, The aerial dancer wears a close-fit- ting shape of strong canvas, extending from the arms almost to the knees, so a8 to give perfeot support to the body. On the back of this shape is firmly sewed a large piece of strong leather, and fastened through leather and can- vas is a heavy icon plate with a slot, into which fits a thimble on the end of the lupporting wire. The thimble is securely held in place by a catch, to hand. By this arrangement the per- former may, in aa instant and unno- ticed, free himaself from the apparatus; and by walking freely about the stage, increase the mystification of the spec- tators, for the slender wire is at best more a thing of reason and faith than | While our Work is better, our Prices are of sight to most beholders. But care must be exercised not to pull that lit- tlo string at the wrong moment, Con- quest, when dancing at Wallack’s with the aid of this apparatus, inadvertent- ly pulled the string when sixteen feet out and ribs cracked. cigars at home trom imported tobacco; but if devoid of flavoring the average smoker can discern the fraud, for no matter how fine the tobacco, the cigar will not cure 8o evenly as it does in tho tropics.” ““While opium is probably used by some manufacturers in the manufact- ure of cigars, wg have never' used a grain of it,” was the statement of the manager of a large factory, in conver- sation with the reporter. “If a cus- tomer orders say 10,000 cigars of a special brand and wishes them flav- ored, we put a little Santa Cruz rum in the bottom of the boxes, and the flavor is obtained Last season we manufactured 61,647,460 cigars and 5,158,180 cigarettes, and all without a partical of opium, T am opposed to the tenement house cigar, and we sell none that are turned out in such plices. They are not clean and are composed of inferior tobacco,” “*We are distributing about 2,000,- 000 cigars & month,” said another manager, ‘‘This includes both do- mesticand imported goods, but mainly the former., We make two great specialties, a b cent and 10 cent cigar, .

'The cost of production is fzom §1 to §3 less per thousand, and the cigar, if made from a fair grade of tobacco, will smoke almost as well as those turned out in first-class factorics, As a rule, however, the goods used are poer, Still another of Big.

Then the per- former raised the feet of his subject, and the body, only supported by the elbow on the staff, remained rigidly extended at anyangle up to a horizon- tal position, The trick wasall ina thin steel plate, fitting to and support. ing the body, with a ratchet arrange- ment which caught and held at ll? point up to a right angle with the staff.
