The deplorable quality of Italian,
cigars has long been a byword among
smokers, Says the London Cigar and
Tobacco World. "Go to Italy, tray a
cigar and die," is an.up to date adaptation, of the famous quotation. Even
the very best of them would on the
first trial turn the stomach of an
ostrich. They are long and thin,
black and bitter, and have a straw
run through them to facilitate the
draught. It would be impossible to
•'imagine anything worse in the cigar
line. They are so cheap, too, as to
stagger belief. Italy is a poor country,
unfortunately, and it is getting poorer
every year. The nation is frugal, and
is content to indulge Itself "with
pleasures and entertainments that are
cheap. It is true that in Rome, andin
Florence, and Venice, and Milan one
can buy imported cigars; but the trade
in such luxuries is ait exotic, and is
conducted mainly—nay, almost altogether—"with foreigners, particularly
English and American tourists, who
always have more money than they
know what to do with. The native
Italians smoke the native rattail
"cigarros," and thank their king that
they are still cheap enough to be
purchasable. Fastidious Italians smoke
cigarettes, which they roll themselves.
The very poor in Italy—the lazzaroni
of Naples, for instance—smoke very
seldom, or not at all, and iu their abstention from and indulgence which is
cheap enough to come within the
means of even the most toverty-strick-
en. people of other coun ries they are
remarkable.
The soldiers of the army of Italy are
recruited, like those of other European
nations, from all classes of her citizens.
The bulk of them of course, comes
from that class which in every country
is the majority—namely, the poor.
They get the poorest faro, live the
most frugal of lives, get trifling wages
that are generally in arrears, and yet
many young men eagerly join the
army because their lot in the ranks,
hard as it is, is yet an improvement
upon their lot at home. Cigars in the
Italian army are part of the daily fare.
Each soldier has his allowance. The
military cigars are inferior even to
those which the civilians- with money
iu their pockets are able to buy, yet
they are eagerly puffed by the soldiers,
but it is a marvel that those who
smoke one of them survive to repeat
the experiment.
It is a fact that the "cigarro" of the
Italian army, incredibly vile as it is,
was nevertheless adulterated by the
government monopoly under the administration of Kig. Magliaua, the
minister of finance, in 1888. A fiendish ingenuity was exhausted in imparting to the cigars which Minister
Magliana furnished substances so foreign to tobacco, and so undreamed of
even by the most dishonest cigar
manufacturers of other countries, that
his fraud will live forever in the history of the weed. The Magliani
cigars, so called in honor of the finance
minister, as is the custom of Italy,
were made at the beginning of the
fiscal year of 1888. It was several
months afterward that the fraud was
investigated, and it was then discovered that, according to a contemporary,
they contained a piece of lime, some
powdered gypsum, a quantity 'of earth,
a piece of wood, and a piece of string.
These delightful adulterants, besides
a very little of the nasty native tobacco
grown in Italy and some Kentucky
hogshead leaf, were the actual components of Magliani cigars. A Roman
newspaper, commenting on the report
of the investigating committee sarcastically observed that a mason with
his trowel was only wanted in conjunction with a dozen such cigars in
order to build a six-storied palace, for
all the materials were there.
Commercial travelers and their baggage carried to and from adjoining
towns witli promptness and at living
•grates.

I have seen numerous specimens of
our saurian no-longer than an ordinary
lead-pencil; this was in the season of
their hatching. I have also seen a few
living specimens about sixteen feet in
length. In the autumn of 1875 I obtained for the late Effingham Lawrence,
Member of Congress/and Commissioner from Louisiana to the Centennial
Exhibition, the dried skin of an alligator "which, after at least fifteen
inches had been cut from the snout
and skull, and ten inches from the end
of the tail, still measured seventeen
feet ten inches in length. Allowing
more than six inches for shrinkage in
drying, this monster of his kind, alive,
must nave measured more than twenty feet. He was killed in the lower
part of Bayou Lafourche,
Probably the largest alligator ever
seen in Louisiana was killed in a small
lake on the plantation of H. J. -Feltus
in Concordia Parish. According to
the statement of Mr. Feltus, now of
Baton Rouge, this specimen measured
twenty-two feet in length. The great
reptile had long been famous for miles
around, having destroyed numbers of
hogs and,hounds owned in the -neighborhood ot his retreat. He had become so wary, from the number of ineffectual shots fired at him, as to be
almost unapproachable. Finally he
fell a victim to a long shot fired from
a Mississippi rifle in the "hands of Mr,
Feltus, who had persevered in hunting
him, having been the greatest loser by
his depredations. The huge carcass
of this reptile was towed to the bank
by a boat. It required the strength of
a pair of mules-and a stoat "rope to
haul it ashore,where the measurement
was made with the result noted ^baye.

"I went down on the jag train," said
he, "and I tell you I had a jag on as

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get
any whisky at Dwight, so after filling
myself up to the collar button with

bottles about my personal premises.
I had two in my grip and my pockets
fairly bulged with booze. When I got
to Dwight I was escorted to a hotel,
where 1 found numerous sympathizing
friends, who, however, refused to join
in my libations, although they did not
attempt to deprive me of my stoek.
The next morning I joined the procession to the shot-tower, where I received
a dose of 'dope' and a hypodermic injection of the gold cure in the arm.
Whisky is given to each patient who
desires it. In fact no attempt is made
to deprive him of his accustomed beverage. I kept up my 'toot' for two
days, heing gloriously full all the time,
but taking my regular course of '
ment.

A fiendish ingenuity was exhausted in imparting to the cigars which Minister Magliana furnished substances so foreign to tobacco, and so undreamed of even by the most dishonest cigar manufacturers of other countries, that his fraud will live forever in the history of the weed. The Magliani cigars, so called in honor of the finance minister, as is the custom of Italy, were made at the beginning of the fiscal year of 1888. It was several months afterward that the fraud was investigated, and it was then discovered that, according to a contemporary, they contained a piece of lime, some powdered gypsum, a quantity 'of earth, a piece of wood, and a piece of string. These delightful adulterants, besides a very little of the nasty native tobacco grown in Italy and some Kentucky hogshead leaf, were the actual components of Magliani cigars. A Roman newspaper, commenting on the report of the investigating committee sarcastically observed that a mason with his trowel was only wanted in conjunction with a dozen such cigars in order to build a six-storied palace, for all the materials were there. Commercial travelers and their baggage carried to and from adjoining towns witli promptness and at living •grates. Old American House Barn, SALINE, - - MICH.

MICH I have seen numerous specimens of our saurian no-longer than an ordinary lead-pencil; this was in the season of their hatching. I have also seen a few living specimens about sixteen feet in length. In the autumn of 1875 I obtained for the late Effingham Lawrence, Member of Congress/and Commissioner from Louisiana to the Centennial Exhibition, the dried skin of an alligator "which, after at least fifteen inches had been cut from the snout and skull, and ten inches from the end of the tail, still measured seventeen feet ten inches in length. Allowing more than six inches for shrinkage in drying, this monster of his kind, alive, must nave measured more than twenty feet. He was killed in the lower part of Bayou Lafourche, Probably the largest alligator ever seen in Louisiana was killed in a small lake on the plantation of H. J. -Feltus in Concordia Parish. According to the statement of Mr. Feltus, now of Baton Rouge, this specimen measured twenty-two feet in length. The great reptile had long been famous for miles around, having destroyed numbers of hogs and,hounds owned in the -neighborhood ot his retreat. He had become so wary, from the number of ineffectual shots fired at him, as to be almost unapproachable. Finally he fell a victim to a long shot fired from a Mississippi rifle in the "hands of Mr, Feltus, who had persevered in hunting him, having been the greatest loser by his depredations. The huge carcass of this reptile was towed to the bank by a boat. It required the strength of a pair of mules-and a stoat "rope to haul it ashore,where the measurement was made with the result noted ^baye. —Century.-■-,- " - '* t a m t!

The next morning I joined the procession to the shot-tower, where I received a dose of 'dope' and a hypodermic injection of the gold cure in the arm. Whisky is given to each patient who desires it. In fact no attempt is made to deprive him of his accustomed beverage. I kept up my 'toot' for two days, heing gloriously full all the time, but taking my regular course of ' ment.
