Wo are fairly entering upon the new tobacco year. In somo parts of the • bright belt" the markets ase already crowded with new stool 7 , aud daily sales , aro heavy. Oxfoid, Durham anl Hen derson arc having unusually heavy ( breaks, while other markets in the Dan ville section will open up the eouiing week. The opening of this uew tobac co year i« watched with something of r unusual interest. I'rioes have started off very high. In " most sections tho Icef is of very fine quality, for which there is a strong de , maud. Suuiepartiee have oried out again a* the opouing as a bad omen, and prodioted another last year's dileuiuia bcfi re the season close*. Suoh prediolions are generally used for effsot, but usually fail in the end. There are alwayß some persons in the trade who havo axes to grind, aud try to do their grinding by incessaut talk. They are always on the alert to Ukc advantage of any favora ble or unfavorable turns in the tobacco market, but never speak hopefully of its futuro. Just ot this juncture, when the mar ket for the new year opens brightly, we heat the croaking of these all-knowing prophets. 'I hoy say that a brisk open ing always presages a Bad year, without ever stopping to study the real honltli of the market. We hope that the majori ty of our readers aie too wise to listen to such croaking. The new tobacco year has opened briskly, and has douc so on a solid basis. It has been many years since a more favorable October was known. The old crop, ncaording to the best judgment, has been practi cally sold, while last year at this time, at lrast a third of the previous year's I was in the hands of the farmers. We ! have before us 60 per cent of an aver age crop of bright tobacco of the finest quality. Tho West has 38 per cent, of au average crop of pour quality. The demaud for leaf is strong in all sections, and yet we have these sujull crops to sup ply this demand with fur the next twelve months. Is it unreasonable that, the new year kliculd open bright ? Is theie any reason fur it to open otherwise ? With all the facts before us can prices rango otherwise than high for the com iug year. The oa»e is so plain that he who runs may read.— Southern Tobaoo Journal. TRUTH STRANGER THAN FIC TION. The Rev. Dr. Harcba, of Omaha, nar ra'es the lollowing incidents as told to biui by John l'ixon, of Dixon City, Illi nois: "General W infield Soott, then a young man, was stationed at Fort Smel ling, at thai day perhaps the remotest - outpost of tho Uuited States. Whoa the Indian outbreak known as the Ulaek Hawk War was inaugurated, the militia from Illinois prolfured their services to aid tn ooLqqering the savages; aod, with a a view lo mustering them into the ser- . Tioes of the United Statet, two lieuten- I ants were sent by Scott to the tbon vil- f l.go of Dixon. One of these wa* a -ery t cinating. good-looking, easy-manner- I ed affable and fluent youag gentleman; the other, «n equally pleasant looking > but exceedingly modest young man. On tho morning when the mustering in wan to take pluco a tall, gawky, slab-sided, homely young mun, dressed in a home made suit of blue joaus, presented him self to the two lieutenants as the cap tain of the recruns and was duly swoin in. Tuis w»o he who a'terwards l#c nuc the President of the United Stoles—the lamented Lincoln One of the lieuten ants, the modest one, was he who fired the first gun from Sumter, Mnj. Andir son. The other, and',who adminis tered tho oath, was years the President of the Southern Confederal, Jefferson Dlvis." Dr. 11. was in the book rooms of Car lin Brothors, New York ced to repeat these coincidences^tT a friend. An eldorly geutlcman, who was sitting near by, and was an auditor arose and remarked that he was happy to be able to confirm '.lie as given by Mr. Dixon, as he was tho chaplain at Kort Smelling at the time, and was fully able to corroborate each statement. A bystander then gave this additional tes timony: That slr. Lincoln had often been heard to sav that the time he had ever taken the oath of allegiance to tho Unitod States it wa? administered co him by Jeff Davis. WILL WE QUIT CHEWING TO UACCO. Then the cigarette has done a great deal to put an end to the habit of chew ing tobacco. The growth of tho cigar ette practice in this country is, as they ssy of western towus, "phenomenal." The oonsumption of cigarettes has doub led many times otor in the last fifteen years. Aboat sere* cut of every ten boys who are growing up now smoke cig arettes. And after a boy has smoked cigarettes a few years he not only has no taste for tobaeoo ia any form, but lie lias no constitution left to stand chew ing tobaceo. It is curious bow boys will take to cigarettes. I believe it is very largely because fuss that is made about them. It has got to be the nomuion opinion that oigarctte smoking is tho most injurious practice known That is just why boys adopt it. It makes them an object of awful interest to other boys and girls. It is soothing to a boy's foolish pride to know that poo pie have marked him out as one who is rushing with frightful temerity to early destruction. Whether that is the cause of it or not, it is perfectly certain that more and more cigarettos are being sold every year and less chewing tobacco.— Southern Tobacco Journal. THE SECRET OF BOOMS. A booui always originates with a few persons. They have to fight with discouragements, but if they tiersjvere they will always succeed. It is not often that they are assisted at first by older men thai have capital. But if they persevere these will ooiuo iu good time. The secret of booms is combina tion. If but few inon attend public meetings held in interost of the material progress of a place, there will be no boom until thiugs arc changed in this rogard. If men leave their own busi ness to atteud suoh meetings, the boom is verp near. Aud when tho town prosper s. the individuals prosper. So when new enterprises are started. If men generally say that they need all the money they oan get for their own pri vate bus.ncts, no cuitftiftiatiou is possi ble. But if they arc willing to risk money to help practicable.enterprise*) of tho joint stock order, they will s«e prosperity brought to their own doors. In a town not more than a thousand miles away, they bad lest money ai d mora public spirit than in any other town that oould be found. All the oitnens, however poor, attended all public msctings and talked when tbey eould do nothiog else. Every ouo made saenfioos in his private busines to help publie enterprises. The result is suoh a wave of prosperity to-day as as tonishes people both North aud South. —North Carolina Herald A FROG STORY. Speyiag of traveling on Sunday. ( am reminded of a good thing 1 hoard on J odge Colquit, father of Senator Colquit. He was a Methodist preacher, and a good one, too. He used to go to courts on Sunday, and to ease bis conscience he always stopped il he came across a church on his way, aud sometimes preaoh od. Ou one occasion ho stopped at a i { Hardshell Baptist Church. When lie ■ ! went in the preacher was belaboring the , different denominations other than his ■ | own. He at length got tho Methodist ■ , (of course I..4*didn't know Judge Col q'lii). He «aid tlioy reminded liiui of u i ; tree frog. They get on ona limb and ■ they said higher, and thon get ou anotli '| er limb above and they say higher, uud . thui. they go on till they get to the top, I und down they couic kcr-flop, and bretb . rcn, that's what they call tailing from grace. When ho was done he said if i there was anybody present that wanted , to spenk he'd be glad to bear from them. Judge Colquit arose aud thanked him for the privilege of speaking; said the broth er's illustration of the tree frog reminded hint of anothei sort of frog in Southern Georgia. You may wald along the creek and .shake a bush, and you'd hear something go ker-dip as It struck the water, and seemed to say, as it went under, safe. Then after awhile you'd sec the same frog ciawling out on a rock in the middle of the stream, and chang ing his voice, be would sat, "Gim-m« the jug—giiu-me the jug." The Baptist brother admitted that he got him)on the frog story.— Lift recol lections in Wcsleyan Advocate. WHEN THE MOON CHANGES. During a long storm persons who are well versed in weather lore are of ten heard to console themselves with the prediction that there will be a change of weather when the moon changes. Nasmyth and Carpenter characterize as a popular error in its most absurd form this belief that a gradual turning of the moon's fice to ward and away from the sun could, at oortain points, upset the existing con dition of our atmosphere, generate clouds and pour down rain. In Eng land (and the same may be said of America) the weather changes about every three days, and there is a chango of the moon every seven days, no that •uauy coiuoidunts must occur. Those who believe that "the moon rules tne weather" always credit such coinci dences to lunar influences. But the theory is untenable unless it applies to every oase, and unless the same effect is always produced by the same cause. To suppose that a chango of the moon will turn dry weather to we', or wet to dry, indiscriminately, is the merest childishness, and contrary to all ineteor ologiual —Philadelphia In quirer. CULTIVATING COFFEE. l>r. W, K. Huti'lilii.iin in the American Mag- 1 Ixina, There is needed a rich soil, plenty of water and perfect shade; for tho coffee plan' cannot staud direct suurays any more than coll. Just before the rainy I season, seeds arc planted in peculiar diagonal 1 lies, so as to give about ninety trees to the acre, and given over to a farmer's oaro for five years. He at once plants banaua trees beside them which answer a double purp.ise of sha ding, the tonder growth and of producing quick returns. Meanwhile, the slower I growing bucarc, is planted, and by the time the coffee is large enough to bear, is reudy to shild it for life. ' The owner now takes posession of his estate and it begins to yield, continuing for thirty years or more, with an overage 1 annual product ol ten pounds to a tree About the middle of March it is in full i blosioui, bearing a pretty, daisy-shaped flower, with half a dozen lanceolate leaves and a delicate vanilla perfumo.

S. Walter Pierce, a young man of sev enteen, whose home is at Gloversville, had a close call tho other day. He ii addicted to smokiug cigarettes, and •ook advantage of his visit to this city to enjoy himself to his fullest capacity amoking several packages a day. Of late he has oomplained at times of feel ing drowsy, and tho'lgbt the cigarettes j did not agree with him. Tne scqusl | shows that they did. Yesterday after 1 breakfast he smoked about fifteen, and ' then went into the parlor of his aunt's bouse sn Central avenue to lie down. ; When called for dionor he was found | in an unconoious state, with his body , perfectly rigid.

It is not pleaaant to fail of success in anything that we attempt, but better far something good attempt ed even if it be not obtained, than tbe idle, aimless waiting for a shower of good fortune that may never fall.
