A Correspondent Olres Heme lnturcttlns Te-
lisece ttemlnlicenrrt In Which HeMnkes
ria for n OiiprcMcil Variety of
(tin raf rathlnn't Caprice.
Cws. iNTni.uer.scun. Scanning the to te to
bacce repert en the first page of your issue of
Iho 27th instant, Including your editorial
"squilis" en thosauie subject, nnd especially
the query "Why net inake whito-vetnod ci
gars fashionable?" I recall the whlto-veinod
and wliite-rlugcd cigars of my earlj boy boy boy
heed, mero than threo scere years age, In
deed thorn was n third variety, n.imely, the
whllo-5ietlcxl, nnd tiiese were, pcrliapi, tlie
most common of the threo kinds. Frem
whence the cigars came, or whero the tobacco
grew, I de net think I ever was Informed,
but there Is no question In my mind nnd
memory alieut the fee-that they wero an ar
ticle or trafflc lu Lancaster county, as early as
1S27, and nlse suliseqncntly. Ner did they
belong te the si in pi e Spanish, the hair-Span-isli,
the common or the "ponny-a-grablersj"
they had nt least a quasi status of fashion,
oblcness t wcre considered foreign, and sold
at nn advanced price.
At the iwied te which I rcfer, nnd for
rome years prier te that dnte, I de net knew
that there was n siugle tobacconist nor nn es
tablishment oxclusively cenllncd te tlie pur pur
cliase nnd Kile or tobacco and cigars in the
town where I resided, (Marietta, Pa.,) but
they were kept for sale by the dealers in dry
goods and groceries, the taverns, (there wero
no hotels) the oyster shoes, the confection
eries the hucksters, and last but net least,
by the npethecarles, which kept the finest
"goods" in that line, nnd notably the white
lined, whlte-ringcd and whlto-spetted. These
macuUtiens wcre regarded as eIi'inis 'if
superiority, nnd by no lneaui tu iufu. .or
grades.
The Imy-smoker, who could obtain ene or
these luottlecl cigars at that period, felt him
self a head hlgher than any of his less fortu
nate companions, and the young men
"snorted" thorn as something "qulle the
go. ' I think It nover has been successfully
demonstrated that this partly colerod tobacco
is inferior in quality te the Inunaculate leaf,
and Ir net, why should fashion selfishly
withheld the seal or its august approbation ?
i NOVICE'S FIIIST HM0K1.NO KXFCniESCC
These wcre perhaps euly a sonvitlenal
vnrlety, but they wcre an "awfully" mean
variety, and sometimos produced awful con
sequences, especially It tampored with by n
youthful novice. They occupied amongst
cigars nbeut the same status, that "Rifle,"
or "Jersoy Lightning" does amongst the
whiskies. Common cigars w cre usually tied
up In bundles of ene hundred, or fifty,
and these wero retailed at various prices
two, three, or four rer n penny nnd
tlie "cullings" wcre threw u Inte n common
rcceptacle a bag or a box and sold at "a
jienny n grab." This was, however, only
local and occasional, nud net a regular custom
.nnd only obtained when n dealer happened
10 accumulate a mean let en hand. My first
essay In cigar smoking was Willi oue el these
vicious nlcotauceus "nods ;" It w as as liard and
as dark as a year-old Catalpa bean. After
cellaislng my choeks for about ten minutes
in tlie ollert te draw siuoke through It, I
threw It away with disgust. In Ilvo minutes
thereafter I necame as limp as n rng ; n "cold
sweat" mised ever my whele body.
" I was net Jiujik, but, O, se sick, '
and in that condition was carried home, nnd
but for tkaOact that thrce ethors were found
lu my brecTlies pocket, niy situation might
have caused parental distress. Ne cigar of
nny kind passed between uiyllps again for
seven ycais.
Tin: c.vrnicns of fashion.
It is said of tlie first Napeleon, that he en en
thely Ignored circumstances as a fundamen
tal l.wter in determining Ids actions. He,
himself was the potent ccntrcstance which
created the circumstances that gave char
acter te his career, (bis ultlinate failure,
hew ever dlsqualitleshlin as a model), but it
has been long since demonstrated that fashion
is mero petent and has a longer reign than
anything that liears the name of Napeleon.
Still, fashion may be wooed into an endorse
ment of the wiilto-veincd cigar. Without
material substance, fashion could net mani
fest itself; nnd n iw, ai it Is running rampant
in all the gaities or the floral, the sylvan and
the feathered world, it -would boamcre slde
step te extend Its domain Inte the realms of
tobaccedoin.
Frem the foregoing, It will be perceived Hint
11 fashion even did take the vvhite-veincd cigar
into Its special favor, would net be an en
tirely new tiling, nud this fact might mllltate
nsainst Its final adoption. Fashion Is net per
ac an abselute progression, howeVer; it isn
revolutionary evolution nt best. It's nxe Is
fixed nnd immovable, nnd each revolving
evele turns up with perhaps a slight modili medili modili
eatien, nnd oflen n slighter improvement,
something that existed long before. Any man
or woninu.efoven ordinary observations who
lias attained te three or four scere years, must
have witnessed the same, or ncailv the same,
fashions, half n dozen times. With all Its
abuses fashion evidently has Its uses. It
works up and utilizes a vast amount of raw
materinl which otherwiso would never find
a mm ket, and In this respect Is even a bene
factor. J ust new It could, If it would, rclle ve
many a hard-working cultivator from dis
couragement and less by vouchsafing aehcer
t'nl recognition of the " wlilto-vclued" pro
duct of his tell, without subiectlng society te
degeneration of quality. Iflt will net give
heed te the voice of lcnseu nnd of charity,
tlie peeple will have te assume the otlenslve
rather than sacrifice their luteiesls te the
mere caprice offashlen. GnANTHLLfs.
