The nareotio effect of tobacco smoke, if received into the lungs, reside* in the carbonio acid, the ammonia causes dryness, a biting of the mucous membrane of the throat, and an increased flow of saliva—experiences familiar to smokers. Absorbed into the blood, says Dr, Richardson, it renders the fluid too thin, causing an angularity of the blood corpuscles, suppression of the biliary secretion and yellowness of skin, quickening and then reduoing the action of the heart. In young smokers it produces nausea. It ia doubtful whether all these effects are to be traced to the carbonic acid. If so, most of our mineral waters, so freely drank, are dreadful poisons, instead of being remedial agents as they are generally esteemed. The empyreumatic substance seems to have little effect, ezoept in giving the peculiar taste to tobacco smoke, and after a while of makipg the breath of smokers unbearable. " Nicotine is rarely ever imbibed by the cleanly smoker," says Dr. Richardstfn. It affects only those who smoke cigara by holding them in tho mouth, or dirty pipes saturated with oily matter. When absorbed, its effects are injurious, such as palpitation of tho heart, tremor and unsteadiness of the muscles, and great prostration. It will not, of itself, produce vomiting; it is the bitter extract which is the cause of this, imperceptibly swallowed and taken into the stomach. Singular Freak of Affection.—In the spring of 1861, when the calls to Patriotism went like wildfire over the lana, a young man in the third ward of Chicago, named George W. Treyser, was engaged to be married to a young lady in a western eity, who died last week, and was buried here. He unlisted promising to return as soon as the war was over, and left his effianced almost broken hearted. At the battle of Wilson's Creek he was killed. When the news reached this eitv, his betrothed went iuto fainting fita, and for two dayi her life was despaired of. She never recovered her reason entirely, but lived, as it were, under the shadow of some impenetrable gloom. She selected a chicken from a brood and took it to her room, where she made a plaything or pet of it. She gave it a name whioh in time it knew, and soon came at her call. It would perch on ber head as she would sit looking from her window, and pick orumbs from her lips when she saw fit to feed it, and pick at her teoth as though they were kernels of com. She would sit for hours caressing the chicken, which grew into as sleek and pretty a rooster as ever lived, and which formed an affeetion for its mistress truly wonderful. And thus the pair lived till three weeks sinee, when the chicken waa killed by a dog. Since this time the girl grew languid, nervoua, disheartened, and at last died with a broken heart. Such, in brief, is an actual ineident which thus passes into the history of the singular freaks of affection.—Natchez (ifws.) Courier.business oabds. Inurance Company S. Sturmer, Geo.

The method of smoking makes all the difference in the world. Those who use the clean, long pipes of clay—as did our old Knickerbockers—feel only the effect of the gaseous bodies and the free carbon. Wooden pipes and pipes with glass (items are injurious. Cigars should never be smoked to the end ; otherwise they are more injurious than oil. Br. Richardson says they should be east aside as soon as one-half is smoked, and always smoked, from a porous or absorbent tube. Pipes are much less hurtful than cigars. The best pipe is a long cluy pipe; next to this, the meerschaum is the most wholesome. Dr.Richardson says,the perfection of a pipe will be found in a meerschaum bowl, an amber mouth-piece and a clay stem. All attempts at pipes to condense the oil have thus far failed. Every smoker should be careful of the manner in which he smo&s. As hort foul pipe is very unhealthful. The fashion of the meerschaum has largely prevailed in this country of late years. The material is now imported in blocks, and manufactured here into various forms, some very handsome and costly.— Th? prices range as high as thirty-live dollars. The proprietor of a good meerschaum thinks as much of it almost as of himself. It is well colored, which is the result of absorbing tho oil of the tobacco,it not only becomes beautiful in his eyes, but tho Hmokc is said to be sweeter to his taste. .

There is no reason why a lady learned m medicine should be refused a doctor's degree. Nobody would be obliged to employ a medic* al woman in preference t& a medical man. It is very, true that it is necessary that • practitioner of medicine should be endowed with reflective faculties; but perhaps reason is not quite exclusively the prerogative of man. Ono or two women could be named whose works exhibit undeniable evidences of some logical faculty, and judgment of causation. A female Harvey, .or Sydenham, or Hunter, or Abernetqy would possibly turn up, if the portals pf medicino were not shut in her face.

M A Reminiscence—How the News of Peace was Received in 1815.— Years ago the office of tho old Gazette was in Hanover Square, Boston, near the corner of Pearl street. It was a place of resort for news and conversation, especially in the evening. The evening of February 15, 1815, was oold, and at a late hour only Alderman Sebra and another gentleman were left with father Lang, the genius of the place. The office was about being closed, when a pilot rushed in, and stood for a moment so entirely exhausted as to unable him to speak. " He has great news!" exclaimed Mr. Lang. Presently the pilot, gasping for breath, whispered intelligibly " Peace 1 Peaee 1" The gentlemen lost their breath as fast as the pilot gained his. Directly the pilot C was able to say— " An English sloop is below, with news of a treaty of peace 1 They say that Mr. Lang exclaimed in greater words than ever ho used before— and all hands rushed into Hanover Square exclaiming—" Peace 1 Peace 1't. The windows flew up-*-for families lived there then. No sooner were the inmates sure of the sweet sound of peaoe, than the windows began to glow with brilliant illuminations. The cry of " Peace 1 Peace!" spread through the city at the top of all voioes. No one stopped to enquire about " free trade and sailors' rights." No one enquired whether even the national honor had betn preserved. The matters by which the politicians had irritated the nation into the war, had lost all their importance. It was enough that the ruinous war was over. An old man on Broadway attracted by the noise to his door, was seen to pull down a placard, " To Let," which had been long posted up. Never was there such joy in the city. A few evenings after there was general illumination, and although the snow was a foot deep and soaked with rain yet the streets were crowded with men and women, eager to see and partake of everything which had in it-the sight or taste, of peaee.

WILLIAMS, SURGEON DENTIST, Ono of the moat interesting and novel of all the speculations on the use of tobacco was submitted to the British Association for the Advancement of Science at its late session, and the information afforded will be well received by that large cla« of persons who indulge in the use of the weed. Dr. Richardson first contrived an automaton smoker, into whose mouth pipes, cigars and meerschaums were placed, and the smoke from them being caught and collected, enabled him to determine the products of the combustion. These he d«- termined as, 1, water; 2, iree carbon; 3. ammonia; 4, carbonic acid; 5, nicotine; 6, an empyreumatio substance of a resinous bitter cxtract. He says: " The water is in the form of vapor, the carbon, in minute particles suspended in the water vapor, and giving the eddies of smoke their blue color; the ammonia is in the form of gas combined with carbonic acid ii partly free and partly in combination with ammonia. The nicotine, he says, being a non-volatilo body, remains in the pipe; the empyroumatic substance is • volatile body of an ammoniacal nature of the composition of which the Doctor confesses himself unacquainted, but which we have ventured to consider as resin. Whatever it is, it is that which gives the smoke of tobacco it* peculiar odor, and determines the flavor of a cigar. It adheres powerfully to woolen materials, and when concentrated has a most obnoxious and intolerable smell. The bitter substance is resinous and of dark color, probably having an alkaloid as ita base. It is not volatile, and only leaves the pipe or cigjar by being carried along in a fluid form." The varieties of tobacco are innumerable. Staple tobacco that has not undergone fomentation yields very _ little free oarbon, much ammonia, carbonic acid, little water, a small quantity of the empyreuma and an equally small quantity of bitter extract. The Latakia yields the same products uniformly, the Turkish generally more ammonia, Havanna all these products. Cavendish varies considerably in its constituents; pigtail yields all very abundantly; the little Swiss cigars yield enormous quantities of pmmonia, and so dry the mouth; Nanilas give very little.— The Connecticut tobacco is comparatively mild in taste, from the absence of the bitter extract. The laws of accoustics are hitherto bqt little known, but it would seem that a similar effect is produced, two notes of the major triad when struck calling forth a faint impression on the ear of other notes being supplied. It is a curious fact, and one which quite upholds this law, that on striking any chord on the piano-forte, all the strings of the same chord throughout the instrument which Are in unison with the notes struck, arc in vibration, while the other notts are not agitated. This can be ocularly demonstrated by placing on these stiings little saddles of paper, which will be seen to vibrate violently, while when placed on other strings which are foreign to the chord, they rest undisturbed.
