I'rofesnor Maulesel, a German pen
tlcmon. whn has recently arrivd in
this city, has secured a suitable lot op
South G Si reft, anil is about to erect
extensive works which will prove of al
most incalculable advantage to all
lovers of the "weed," and which will
obviate the necessity lor both pipes
and cigars. There will be large re
torts, iu which tobacco will be burned,
and the smoke thus produced will pass
through proper pipes to a large bell
shaped receptacle of boiler iron.somo
what resembling a gasometer, where it
will be cooled and purified and so
scented that it shall have the flavor of
the finest Havana cigar. To this
product of his retorts and purifying
apparatus the professor has given the
the name of "Tabaksine," but fur con
venience we will call it by a less sci
eutifio name, that of smoke, which, af
ter all, it is.
From the srookeometer a main pipe
will lead up into the city, and front
this will be small branch pipes leading
to all the principal houses and saloons
in the town. In every house where
the smoke i taken there will bo placed
a meter, similar to a gas meter, but
much more delicately constructed.
Running from these meters will be
pipes leading to all the rooms in the
house, and connected with these pipes
at convenient points, will be long flex
ible tubes, each tipped with a haud
snroa amber mouth piece for the com
fort nnd convenience of smokers.
When a man desires to take a smoke
he has not to go to the trouble of hun
ting up tobacco and filling his pipe,
then of fiudiug and lighting a match,
and perhaps burning his fingers, and
afterward getting fire and ashes upon
his clothes half-a-dozen times before
his smoke is ended. He has only to
place the amber mouth peice between
his lips, turn a small silver thumb
screw, aud the cool, delicious, perfum
ed smoko glides into his mouth. By
this ingpuiotis and delightful arrange-'
nient all danger ot fires from pipes
and cigars will be obviated, aud mil
linns in valuable property annually
saved.
The rates of insurance of those who
have neither pipes nor cigars upon their
premises will be greatly reduced,, and
in this one item the Professor calcu
lates that the cost of introducing the
smoke into an ordinary family resi
dence will be saved each year. . By
the new plan a man may lie in his
bed and smoke with perfect impunity
and the greatest imaginable comfort.
Iu the saloons there will he a row 1 of
comfortable sofas along one side of
the room, with flexible stems hanging
conveniently dowu from a pipe con
cealed in the wall, where a man may
seat himself and by attaching his pri
vate mouth neice, may have a deli
cious smoke at (according to the cal
culation of Professor Maulesel) less
thru half the cost of commonest cigars
such a are known as the "bull team
ster regaiia" and "Mongolian stinkers."
But some may axk,"lIow is a smok
er iif the inveterate class to have his
smoke when walking the streets or
traveling?" This has also been
thought of and provided for by the
Professor. Nothing is easier, and as
the same time the arrangement for
smoking while walking the streets is
not only most convenient, but is such
as adds greatly to the personal appear
ance of the mau using the little appa
ratus. It is well known that most
men are rather flat'-chested, and, tak
ing a hint from this, the Professor has
invented an India-rubber receptacle
fitting to the shape, which, when inflat
ed with smoke, gives thrv wearer a
breast like that of a member of the
National Guard. To inflate this be
fore starting out for wajk is but the
work of a moment. Connected with
it is a handsomely-braided, flexible
stem, ending in a neat amber mouth
peice, which is tucked into the vest
pocket. When not in use this stem,
in nine cases out of ten, would be mis
taken for a handsome watchguard, as
it is generally, ornamented with a
locket, or two or three elegatit charms.
In rase the reservoir should at any
time become exhausted while the
smoker is out walking, it is very easy
to step in to the nearest saloon aud
have it refilled.
As the smokeomes from the works
freed from nicotine, and all other im
pure elements, and is most delicately
and delightfully perfumed, it is ex
pected that it will at once become ex
ceedingly popular among the ladies.
Instead of their use of it being ollc.ii
sive it will prove rjuite the contrary,
as by means of it they will shed
abroad wherever they may go a fine
aroua. i'hey will have for their use
elegantly carved amber mouth peices
hooped about with gold and set with
diauiiHide and other gems. When out
walking their reservoir of smoke will
bn contained in the panuier, to which
it will impart a much more symmetri
cal shapo thai) cuu be attained by the
ut of newsjiapr j s ; bisides, by giving
the rubber of the smoke tank a suita
ble thickness and strength, it will be
found to be very convenient when the
wearer desires to sit, as it will serve
as a cushion, a something which is
iflen a great convenience and com
fort. Due notice in regard to terms
per month, quarter and year will be
given in a few days. Men are now
engaged in grading the lot on whicli
the works will be erected, and the
necessary machinery is on the way
from New York and will soon bn on
the ground.- Virginia City Territorial I

, WHAT A MtSPLAfUU COMMA DIR.
' The comma (.) thit little lot which
is a very insignificant thing to the eye,
sometimes plays an important part in
language. Though the rules for its
use, like its relative, arc soraewbat ob
scure, nevertheless its function in some
cases is very clear and of considerable
moment, as has been discovered in a
law of Congress passed in 1872. In
the tariff Bill which went into effect
that year there was a large addition to
the free list, and among the articles
added were "fruit plants, tropical aud
semi-tropical," designed to encourage
their importation and cultivation. But
in the process of engrossing or tran
scribing the bill to be officially print
ed, a comma was interpolated between
fruit and plants, whereby all fruits
were pot on the free list. The cus
toms officers, if they "minded their p's
and q's," did not mind the comma,
and went on collecting their duties.
At length some lynx-eyed importer
discovered the comma, and demanded
that it should be recogmxed, aud the
customs officers had to stand ou the
order of Prosody and pass fruits free.
The result has been that about $3,000,
000 have been illegally collected
through this interpolated comma, at
which Uncle Sam will huve to stop
nnd count mure than one, and refund.
The Ways and Means Committee will
report a bill to expunge tho comma,
and thus remand fruit back to the list
of dutiable articles. This will prove
a most expensive comma. IIxrrUburg

"Give us a glass of your' best,
liquor," said a drunkard the other
day, as he entered a shop. The shop
keeper filled a glass aud gave it to
him. The toper, without noticing it,
dashed it down his- throat. He soon
began to taste, aud stu3te, seemingly
not exactly satisfaed.
"What's the matter?" said the shop
keeper; "wasu't it good?"
"Why, yes, it was good enough, but
seems to me it wasn't very strotig.
What km J of liquor was it?"
"Cold water," .was the reply; "that's
the best liquor we have in the shop,
and I believe it is the best iu town.
As for any other kind, we have not
got any, for I led off selling strong
driuk some time ago; 8o you've si veil
your twopence, and you'fl. .feel better
tor it afterwards."
"Well," said the toper, "if this
isn't a regular take in. But I believe,
sir, you'r right for hI I that. And as
yotf don't charge anything for your
liquor, I have a good mind to be your
customer, and see if I cun't get rid of
my headache aud sore eyes."
The shop-keeper, who was a warm
hearted Christian as well as a zealous
temperance man kindly encouraged
him never to nriuk anything but the
best liquor in the future. God's beau
tiful, sparkling water was the diiuk of

said a transient guest at a cross road
tavern, as be drew near the eud of his
dinner, "won't you give me a little
more pork to eat with this potato?" A
little later, he said :
"There was more pork than I want
ed ; let me trouble you for a little
potato to eat with the pork." And
shortly afterward :
"Well, I declare, I've got some more
potato left, and it eeiii a pity to
leave itjust a small piece of pork, if
you pltiutu." It ran on so for some
time. At length the landlord stop
ped short in front of the guest, anil
remarked: "Look here, stranger,
taiu't no ue. I'm willing to do any
thing iu reason to make that pork and
potato come out oven, but I've made
up my mind, the way you eat, it can't
be done. You're bound to lap over

The following is rather an old, but
is such a capital illustration, of the
high flown way iu which newspapers
sometimes tell things that it will bear
republishing:
A fey evenings since a Mr. Slocum
was reading au account of a dreadful
accident which happened at the facie
ry iu the town of L., and which the
village editor hiftescribed iu a great
many words.
"I declare, wife, that was an awful
accident over to the mill," said Mr.
Slocum.
"What is it about, Mr. Slocum?"
"I'll read the 'couut, wife, and. then
you'll know all about it."
Mr. 8. ly gan to read : '
Horrible and Fatal Accident.
It becomes our melancholy and
painful duty to record the particulars
of an accident that occurred at the
lower mill, in this village, yesterday
afternoon by which a human being, in
the prime of life, was hurried to that
bourne from which, as the immortal
Shakespeare says, 'no traveler returns.'
"Du tell I" exclaimed Mrs. Si.
"Mr. David Jones, a workman who
has but a few superiors this side of the
city, was superintending one of the
large drums"
"I wonder if it was a buss drum,
such as has 'Epluribust Unium' printed
on't?"
"When he became entargled. His
arm was drawn around the drum and
finally his whole body was drawn over
the shaft at a fearful rate. When his
situation was discovered, he had revol
ved with immense velocity about fif
teen minutes, his head and l.rnbi
striking u large beam a distinct blow
at each revolution."
"Poor creature 1 how it must have
hurt him."
"When the machinery had been
stopped, it was found thut Mr. Jones'
arms and legs were lacerated iuto a
jelly."
"Well, didn't it kill l.iin?" asked
Mrs. Slocum with increased interest.
"Portions of the dura muter, cere
brum and eerebtUum, iu conl'u.icd mus
ses were scattered about th. floorlu
short, 'he gates of Eternity hud open
ed upon him."
Here Mr. Slocum paused to wipe his
spectacles, and his wife seized the op
portunity to press the question ;
"Was the man killed?"
"I don't know haven't' come to
that yet; you'll know when I huve
finished the piece."
And Mr. Slocum continued read
ing:
"It was evident, when the shapeless
form was taken down, that it was tin
longer tenanted with the immortal
spirit that the vital part was ex
tinct." "Was the man killed? that's what
I want to come to," said Mrs. Slocum.
"Do have a little patience," said
Mr. S., eyeing has better half over
his spectacles. "I presume we shall
coiue upou it right away." And he
went on :
"This fatal causuality has cast a
gloom over our village; and we trust
that it will be a warning to all p'-rsous
who are called upou to regit ate the
powerful machinery of our mills."
Now," suiil Mrs. Slocum, perceiv
ing that the uanitive was ended, now
I would like to know whether the uiau
was killed or not?"
Mr. Slocum looked. He scratched
his heud, scrutinized the artice he
bad been perubing, and took a grace
ful survey of the paper,
"I declare, wife," said he, "it's cu

California tjeing a new state, thinks
she must always be proposing some
thing new. Her newspapers have
lately been finding fault with the
State prison sysiem, and now cull for
the abolishment of penitentiaries and
the turning over of euch county's crim
inals to their respective counties, said
counties to employ the criminals "in
the construction of free roads and
bridges, :n planting trees on the lines
of highways, il. laving out and adorn
ing parks and pleasure grounds, in
grading Rills that are obstructions to
the growth of cities, and filling in or
reclaiming pestile'ial marshes and
sloughs, iu improving the navigation
of our rivers, digging ditches for the
irrigation of our arid plains, and iu
doing a thousand other useful things
that would otherwise be left uiidoue."
Iu a recent letter from Russia, Uni

"Bunks have been regularly chartered

the expectation of being burg ' was
firmly fixed in the boy's mind,1 and
drove him to seek his own life, what

There is one act of pnliluess which
in some of the European cnuuiri-t
the p.iorest peasant never forgi-t. Il
is the sulututiou of ihe desd. A f. u
erul passing through the streela of
Pittsburgh or Loudon is treated with
no more consideration than a si re. t car,
but in Italy, eveiy lint would be raised
iu reverent salutation us the corpio
went by. There may, p rhups, be
very litlle sincerity in the f cling
which prompts the salutation, but it
is one of those graceful little actions
by which we express sympathy tor the
bereaved, aud acknowledge, iu the
presence of death, that touch of ua
ture which makes us kin.
