A book mnrht be written on this jircgnant topic. Suffice it to s:iy, there can be no doubt that many are killed outright by tobacco. It is said on good authority, that a large part of the (mortality"' in Clermany where tobacco is j universally used is due directly to it. The j writer has no doubt two of his near rda ( tives sank under its baneful effect ; and he I is not alone in that belief. And where ueaia uoes not result, it pi ouuces a Host ot discomforts, strange ailments and disorders of vital functions. No intelligent person will denv this. How could it .bo oilier wise? j A deadly narcotic cannot be safely tampered witn. it win, it must tell upon tnat .or ganiz:tiou so delicate, so fearful, po wonder ful, in which the human soul dwells. It is nasty ciul fffentiw. This is not a pleasant topic, but the truth must be told. Tobacco lias come to be an intolerable nuis ance in regard to these very points. - It as sails one everywhere, like the frogs of Kgypt. In the cars, what horrible puddles of yellow slime you will see, from which sickening odors exhale,' oisoning the air. In all public places one meets the inevitable, omnipresent pest. No matter whose sense of decency is shocked, or whose unperverted senses are disgusted, it is taken for granted that tobacco is a "chartered libertine." Re gardless of the sanctity of Clod's house, its lloors must bear the stains of the abomin able expectoration, and not seldom is the nauseous quid itself deposited there. Need one wonder that Mr. Moody said : "There is but one text in the Bible in favor - of to bacco "Let him that is filthy be filthy still," or at the sharp, witty saying "1 hey that expect to rate as gentlemen, must not expectorate tobacco juice." It is a dead iratfc. A book lias been written inn Our ica'sfnl rctovrces" in re lation to tlspior driidcinj. It i? well, let it be scattered, and carefully stuided. By and by tax payers will come to understand that whisky rolls up taxes, and then the pocket nerve will be touched, and that will arouse them, perhaps, more than a regard to higher considerations. Tohneco also, demands a hook". What a'theme is offered by just this phase jpf .tfia, subjectr-rits enormous iruste. Many have not looked at this thing at all. Consider a few facts. The Xorth, Xiiuriran lleview for 1SG2. pp. 400, says: 1851 the city of-Ncw-York spent S3, C54.(J(ifl for cigurmd only $3,102,500 for bread Excess fur cigars, over halt a million dollars." "It is perfectly safe to say, saia tne AewiorK limes, -inafciucre is more spent in New York for cigars than for brt-ad." The cletir author of "Jofm Halifax," in her capital book, "A Woman's Thoughts about Women," at page 215, tells of young men habitually spending thirty guineas ($150) in cigars, who j'ctcouldl not afford to get married. No wonder There are clerks in the city of New York, it is said, who ,speud for cigarfc three dob; lars a day, some of whom have sisters who can hardly afford themselves thq bare ne cessaries of life. Take another case : In the June number of the Xational Temperance Advocate, page 81, is the following:- "A pastor of a church of 2(7 members, relates that 07. of them; rise tobacco,' rile asked each one what it cost. ' The aggregate was $S15. One of the number confessed be spent for it 3145.' ? His contribution' to the church was 00 cents. Another one spent $01, who gave, to tho church 2. The whole church, with the aid of outsiders,' gave for all purposes $841, which Jacks $1 of what the 07 wasted for rabaeco 1 In strongly marked contrast with the above, take the following, from the Illustrated Christian Weelhf of Jan. . 1874: "The Rev. S, II, Wilbur, who lias, for twelve years labored among the Yokima Indians in Oregon, statcsthat there are about 400 cpnverti'd Indians under bis care, mid in every case there has been a complete and voluntary abandonment of the use of tobacco." What an example for churches leyontl the pale of that tribe ! The national cost of tobacco must be something fearful. That it amounts to as much as the cost of alcohol is highly prob- . If 1 ....tr..M ". , L WttVt rjr" ail wO'J usj-Uiyu uj miv ""i Ftvr cxreptfocB uee the foison tcted, and many who use the weed do not use tho drink. Now the cost of alcohol, as careful statistics prove, is six hundred million dol l(irs, enough to wipe ont our national debt over which we groan in less than four years: Add another $000,000,000 of waste for tobacco, and what a frightful sum ! How long can the nation struggle tinder such a burden? Need we wonder that times are hard ? Since nations are but the sum total of the individuals, that compose them, it follows that what iniproyerishes in dividuals impoverishes nations. ' Think of the dead loss to the nation of tied cc hun dred million dollars a year ! ; .Yes, a dead loss, and tcorsc. Were the lirpuor and the tobacco, costing the nation so man millions enough together to pay' off our im mense debt iu less than two years flung into the ocean, it would be all the better for the men and oil the worse for thcfishesJ What a pity the people do "not study politi cal economy a little. The elements, at least, of that useful science, should be .taught iu our common schools, so that the next generation' may understand these matters batter than the present one docs.

The elements,' at least, of that useful science, should be taught in our common schools, so that the next gen eration may understand these matters bet ter than the presant one does.. During this Centennial year it would be well to ponder this subject, ask oursclvos which many we arc drifting. Shall we, as a free people, celebrate a bi-ecntennial year, or shall we go the way of nations long since wrecked by their vices and luxuries ! Some may smile at this serious way of putting things, but no sober student of history will do so. On the L'Gth of Nov., 1S7"), at theVrcs byterian Mission House iu New York, said one of the Secretaries of the Beard of Foreign Missions, "If our enrolled members would give a tithe of what their luxuries cost thnt hurt them, there would be no lack of funds to carry forward the great works the church has iu hand." we can: believe that He who sits over against the treasury, beholding how his professed friends cast in their gift, or otherwise, and who said on a memorable occasion, "Gather up the frag ments that nothing be lost" looks with complacency on this iens(cof resources whom vicious luxuries, while all great benevolent schemes, adapted to meliorate and bless the world, aud to glorify God,- are stinted for funds.

Over four )cavs ago a package valued at $50 was mailed at Lindenvillc to a post office in Pennsylvania, and as a means of security had it registered ; but somewhere on its passage it disappeared and could not be fouud. The case was investigated by special officers, and everything possible done to find the last package, . but without avail. Lindenville is a country postolEce, and from there the mail is carried to Williamsfield, a railroad station, by a route agent, and in all cases registered mail mat ter has to be receipted for before he takes it away. In this case the Lindenville post master had a receipt from the agent, but as the agent had none from the Williams field postmaster the package could be traced no further. After a vigilant search the package was given up for lost, and the route agent Was compelled to pay the loss. The matter was almost forgotten, until a few days ago the package turned up, and it had been all those years lying within an arm's' length of the Williamsfield postmas ter's desk. " It had been received from the rout agent in a smaH pouch,' together with about forty letters, and" as the pouch 'was an extra one, only occasionally used, it was by mistake hung upon on a hook near the desk, and there having been no use for it since, it. had been there all these years. One day last ; week the pouch was taken down for use, and its contents fouud intact. -Cleveland UcraUl. Wheat sells for forty-five cents a bushel at Dallas' Tcxa.

Is perjury also a product of Mormonism ? A Salt Lake grand jury reports that the law of Congress against polygamy cannot be enforced owing to the difficnlty of pro curing proof of polygamous marriages. . Alexj Coker, a Texas herder, was run ning cattle recently when his horse fell and the long lariat that hangs at the saddle-bow became entangled around tho herders leg.

A romantic story is reported from Jersey City., John Hubert, who has a wife and seven children, was ejected from his house, a few day ago, for non-nayment of rent and his furniture remained on the sidewalk from Thursday tiutil Sunday night, because he ftad no place to go. On Monday he re ceived a letter from England informing him of the death of a relative, aaJ incloir ing a draft for f 25,000. Political olt s. It is claimed for Governor Tildeii that he has reduced the taxes in New York. The claim' is not a good one, as the reduc tion was made by a Republican Legislature; but he can most certainly claim to be an adept at reducing his own taxes. Before Governor Tilderi asks a single workingman to vote for him for President, he should go straight to one of his barrels of money and make restitution to those Michigau iron workers that he so outrage ously wronged. ; While Governor Tilden was a rftember of assembly in 1S72, the Toll was called 1.503 times and the governor answered 10? times. But on pay day he answered to his name every time. Most reformers of his stamp do so. Albany Journal. The Louisville (Ky.) Commerical per tinently asks the Democrats how much their party has improved since the time when John J. Crittenden exclaimed indigantly that out of a total of sixty-five Democratic land office agents sixty-three were' thieves. General Boynton telegraphs to the Cincinnati Gazette that, with all its show of indignant virtue, the Democratic com mittee on the Freed man's bank, when it found ex-Representative Pierce, of Geor gia, a Democrat, as badly involved as any bod', hushed the matter up, and omitted him altogether from its report. The Tilden campaign grows active in Mississippi. A Republican club was or ganized last Tuesdcy night at Jacksoii and, ex-Senator Peass, while attempting to speak from a balcony, was pelted with eggs. That is the method of securing a "united South," and the loyal people" will hold responsible the party whose strength consists in such disgraceful conduct. When the Democrats cf the South cease with tho lash and bullet to make bloody shirts, the loyal people of the North will cease speaking of them. When all those that were engaged during the late war try ing to destroy this great government are' anxious to have Tilden president, I think all loyal men should try and prevent it; A Soldier. The Hon. Frank W. Hughes, of Potts villc, a venerable "war horse" of Democ racy, has concluded to nibble his oats no longer at the ancient crib. He has with drawn from the ' Tilden Demiocracy,- and has accepted the position of elector at large' on the Cooper and Carey ticket. He gives as the reason for the change, the fact that "the Sk Louis platform, especially as regards the finances, is a trick and a fraud, and that no good Democrat can support cither tlic platform of its nominees" Governor Tilden runs a political shop at 59 Liberty street, New York, which is managed by a relative, greatly to the dis gust of the politicians, who think they should have a finger in the pie. Any one wanting a photograph of Uncle Samuel, a smaple of his handwriting, or a lock of his hair, can obtain it by addressing a note to No. 51). Everything can be had there, in fact, relating to Mr. Tilden, but a fac simile of his inconia return after the year 1S02.- Cincinnati Chntmerctal. Tilden's defense against the charge of perjury is that an income tax is not a tax on income, but a tax on earnings-. . For in stance, if Governor Tilderi received $20,000 ill 1S02 for work performed during several years, the whole $20,000 would not be subject ' to tax on income. This is con trary to all legal decisions on the subjec't,: and if Mr. Tilden cannot get up a better defense than that he had better withdraw. Judge Benedict, of New York, decided not very long ago that the tax was a tax on in come received during the year and not upon the caruings of the year. So that defense, is swept away. The San Francisco Post prints the follow ing extract from a letter received by a gen tleman in that city from the Eist: "You know I am a director in the St. Louis, Al ton" and Terre Haute Railroad Corapan', and one of the committee following up Sammy Tilden in its suit against him. We have always becu good friends until this suit, and now wc don't speak. Whatever he may say about it, or the Democratic papers say for him, it was a rascally piece of business, of which Tweed would have been ashamed. He had no more right to that $650,000 of securities than you had ; but he is sharp and devilish sly, and he may succeed iu worming out of it by some technical defense. He will never face it on the merits." The New York Herald notes the f.ct that six or seven savings banks hate brok en up in that city since last year, and that in several instances the grossest of frauds were practiced. The Bauk Superintend ent, it seems, neglects his duty, and the poor depositors arc swindled. Tho Herald says'. Wc have been waiting to hear from Governor Tilden on this subject. He is the Chief Executive of the State. The Bank Superintendent is his subordinate. The Governor is responsible that his sub ordinates do their duties faithfully. But the Governor is busy with politics, lie does not seem to care about the poor depositors. At least there is no evidence in any act of his that he either knows or cares about their moneys. There is so much talk about reform in these days that we wonder some of the reformers do not, for sweet consis tency's 6ake, look a little after the hard savings of the working men and women of Ner York and seo to it that the savbgj bauk3 tre bentstly conducted. "Where does the money-go" asks a Democratic paper. The Albany Journal answers : " A barrel of it went to St. Louis, aud Bates & Locke got another." The Attorney General has definitely de cided not to recommend the pardon of any of the convicted and sentenced whisk)- con spirators. This will be sorry news to the Democracy. John Morrisscy told T'ihten to tils face ; " 1 cut loose from Tweed in 1868, before it was known that he had done anything wrong, but yon stuck to him until And Mr. Tilden had no word of reply. Which is the more corsistent reformer of these two worthies ? Democrats complain because Republicans arc turning over the books of the administra tions of Polk, Pierce and Buchanan, and discussing swindles amounting to $3,001 000 in Indian appropriations. It is rather' ancient, that's a fact ; but as it is the last time that those eminent thimbleriggers had Control of the governmont it is the bst we can do. Xew York Graphic 1 The Albany Times, one of the foremost Democratic papers in New York, insists upon the immediate withdrawal of Gov ernor Tilden from the Democratic ticket, and the New Haven (Conn.) Union, an other influential organ of the Dernocracj; says : The duty cf the Western Democracy U plain. Tilden might as well be given the go-by, and a grand stand taken for Peter Cooper.- At any rate, if the Democrats of the West and South arc to fight a hopeless battle, thc3r should prefer defeat in a con test for principle to defeat in a scramble for spoils. We are prepared to witness a grand skedaddle from the Tilden ranks iu the next five weeks. The funding of $300,000,000 of the 5- 20's, bearing six per cent, interest into $300,000,000 of four and a half per cent.?., which has just been accomplished by Secre tary Morrill, wili save to the Government $3,500,000 a. year by reducing the interest on the debt to that amount. This is a prac tical way of doing things, aiut is a complete answer to Tilden's complaint that there was nothing done or doing in this direction. While he was busy in scolding and com plaining, the Republican administration wa.4 busy in negotiating successfully the 'fund ing of this large amount of ?ix per cents. Tlie difference in the credit of the Gov ernment when under Democratic rule and when under Republican rule is shown by the fact that in 1S5S, Mr. Buchanan's Sec retary of the Treasury, Howell Cobb, wa unable to place a six per' cent.- gold loan of only $20,000,000. The Government then had no national debt. All of its outstand ing bonds had been redeemed ; but th Democratic administration of Buchanan was so wasteful and extravagant that it was uu able to meet its daily obligations; Its re venues fell short of its expenditures; and Mr, Cobb was compelled to go upon the market as a borrower. But there were no lenders. The monied men would not take the loan, and Mr. Cobb was a beggar as well as a borrower. Yet under a Republican ad ministration, encumbered with a heavy war debt, the Government finds no trouble in negotiating an exchange of $300,000,000 of six per ceuts. for an equal amount of four and a half per cents. The bankers and the moneyed men no longer lack con fidence iu the Government, but wrangle with each other who shall be foremost in getting a share of the new loan. The conclusion is that if the credit of the Government is to be maintained, the: the Republican party must be kept hi feharge of it. The surest way to destroy the credit of the Government is to put the Democratic party in power. Who go forTildea. The following arc the names of a fotf "honorable" gentlemen whose explotis are well kortwii throughout the land : Jeff Davis, ex-President of the Southern Confederacy. Took an oath m the United Suites Seuate to support the Constitution and the laws; violated every obligation. He is for Tilden. Alexander II. Stephens, ex-Yiee Presi dent of the Southern Confederacy. Took an oath similar to the above, and broke it. He is for Tilderi. Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard, cx-Major General of Confederate forces. Received his education at the hands of that govern ment which he afterwards tried to over throw. He is for Tilden. Col. Zebulon Vance, cx-reKl, who was in favor of shooting all Yankee prisoners. He is for Tilden. Gen. Wade Hampton, cx-rebel raider. He is for Tilden. R. M. T. Hunter is for Tilden. Gen. Jos. Johnston is for Tilden. Besides we have the genial Boss Tweed. He is for Tilden. Then come John Morrissey, ex-priz'j fighter, and general bully and pick-pocket. He is for Tilden. The county treasurer of Luzerne, who recently returned $20,000 which he had stolen from the State. He is lor Tilden. And will any honost Democrat tell us why these public thieves, cut-throats and assassins, red-handed rebels and vile mur derers are helping the cause of Samuel J. Tildeu ? It is because they know that if he should be made President the work accomplished by the four years of war would be all undone, and they would again be iu a position to attack the vitals of tl e country. Think of this, ye who are halt ing between two opinions. Loc k Ii&xst R-Vu'Jican.
