The question is asked, says the Chicago Tribune, why the smoking of cigarettes is so much more injurious than the smoking of cigars or of tobacco in the pipe. It may be replied that— 1. The cigarette is smoked by many thou- sands of boys, few of whom would indulge In the pipe or the cigar. The one is too clumsy and the other too costly for the average boy. The use of tobacco in any form does far more harm to the person who has not completed the growing process than to the adult. It tends to stunt the growth of the boy, even affecting the texture of the bones as well as of the muscles and skin, and seems to take hold of the system in direct proportion to the activity of the as- similating processes of the frame, which are most rapid in_youth and most fecble in old Hence the constitution of the growing may be ruined by the smoking of the same amount and same kind of material that could be used with impunity if the stuff were let alone till an age which varies with the individual from 22 to near 30 years. 2. Cheapness being an essential to large patronage by the juveniles, the poorest kinds of tobacco are used in their manufacture, and the taste and smell have to be disguised by the use of drugs, added to which the juvenile appetite for sweets has to be catered to. Hence the employment of sugar and glycerine, per- haps harmless apart, but forming a noxious coalition when smoked together into the sys- tem. Hence, also, the sprinkling of the to- bacco with opium infusions to an enormous extent, while the doctoring of cigars with opium’ is comparatively rare, and the quan tity used so small as to give but a t the drug to each cigar that is thus doc And it may be possible that cheapne: tained or inereased in some cases by the use of other material, jimson weed being one of the things mentioned. Also the peculiar mako of the cigarette—it being open at the mouth end—gives free access of the noxious material to the system, while a portion is arrested by the more closely wrapped mouth end of the cigar and in the stem of all but the shortest pipes of the “dudeen’ class 3.

Captain Moore of the brigantine Mary Gibbs, which dropped anchor at pler 40, South wharves, Philadelphia, tells an amus- Ing story about his last outward trip. It was from Boston to the gold coast of Africa, and his cargo consisted of New England rum for the savage inhabitants of that little- visited region. 0ddly enough he also took oul as passengers two women missionaries, who had been sent out to exert a civilizing and Christianizing influence on these be- nighted people. The brigantine stopped at thirteen ports to unload the cargo of rum, which was received with wild enthusiasm by the natives, while nobody seemed to want the missionaries. The latter semed discour- aged, but, nevertheless, went stoutly to work 10 counteract the effects of the rum.

FARRAGUT AT MOBILE. A great deal has been written relative to the position of Farragut in the Mobile fight, and the incident of being lashed to the rig- ging has occasioned considerable Certainly no question concerning the post occupled by Farragut could arise among those who were on board the flagship and witnessed the engagement.
