The new law permitting persons to deal in tobacco to the extent of 25T000 pounds a 3'ear by paying a special tax of five dollars instead of twenty-five dollars, will go into effect at once. Internal revenue officials saj' it will not effect the revenue materially which never exceeds 100,000 from this class of dealers, but it will aid as a part of the machinery of the depart ment in carrying into effect revenue regulations. It is believed that the new law will cause a material increase in the production of tobacco for the market, as there will be a greater number of small dealers.

They have among them what iscalled a county eurt, whose jurisdiction ex tends from ten to one hundred lashes, and a superior court with a jurisdic tion from ten to one hundred and fiftv lashes. The' elect from their body judges of these courts, a sheriff and a prosecuting officer. They have enact ed laws punishing men for improper conduct in the stockade, for stealing, or doing anything whatever against the orders of the "boss." If one ia charged with any offense he is allowed a fair trial before the court ; and if ho is convicted the sheriff proceeds to exe cute t lie sentence with great vigor and relish. They punish for all offenses even for a failure to work properly and faithfully. To such perfection has the sj'slcm been carried that Judge Mc Whorter very seldom has any occasion to punish delinquents, for the "convict courts" take them in charge and have the lash used upon them wilh sufficient severity, prompt ness and impartiality.

Dr. Stuart Robinson, in his sermon at the University of Virginia commencement, is thus reported by the Baltimore Situ : Absurdly illogical is the popular creed that God's mercy and general goodness will forbid His punishing man eternally. Men deride the Gos pel because it decrees retribution. The Gospel is not responsible for a hell. Men make their own hell. A Shylock loses some trifle of his accumulated gains by bad investment. On his de jected face is pictured a sort of hell. What shall save him from hell when all his gains are swept from him ? j When all the senses through which the sensualist has derived his low pleasures are destroyed, what .shall prevent his retribution ?
