facture oT InltaaOn giro* employment to
more than 10,000 penomt, who turn oat
150,000,000 cigar* a year, valued at #2,-
000,000. From Havana anti Mauilln,
Hamburg import* 10,000,000 cigar* a
year, making an aggregate. including it*
own production, ol 168,000,000 cigar*,
153,000,000 ol which are exported, Icav
ing 15,000,000 for homo consumption
allowing 4<VH'O cigars a day for an adult
male population of 45,000. In England,
with a pupula ion of 21,000,000, in IV2I,1 V 2I,
the co isumption of tobacco was 15,598,-
152poun!t,*'i average ol 12 ounces
per head for the entire population ; in
with a pn'ulution ol 24,410.43'.',
the consumption reached 10,533,841
pounds, or 13 ounces per head ; in 1841,
population 27.019,873, consutnplion 22,
309,380 pounds, or 13} ounces per head,
and 1851, population 27,152,841, or 17
ounce* of tobacco per head, showing a
steady increase. In France, the con
sumption of tobacco is 18} ounces per
head, nearly half of which is snuffed. In
Denmark, in 1848, it was 70 ounces per
head ; and iu Belgium it overages about
72} ounces per head. *
A popular writer sets down the con
sumption ol tobacco by the whole hu
man lamily annually at 2,000,000 tons,
or 4,480,000,000 pounds, or 70 ounces
per head ; and he adds that the “annual
tobacco crop of this world weighs as
much as the wheat consumed by 10,000,.
000 of Englishmen, with a money value
equal to all the wheat consumed in
Great Britain.” Next to the United
States, the principal tobacco producing
countries are some of the M est India
Islands, the States of Ceutral and South
America, Cuba, Hayti, Brazil, etc.; in
the East Indies, Manilla, Java, China,
etc.; Asia Minor, Egypt, Turkey, Greece,
Hungary, the southern part of Russia,
Holland, Belgium, the States of Ger*
many, many of the departments ol
France, Algeria, Corsica, and Upper
Savoy, are all noted for the culture of
tobacco. The total productions of the
world, are estimated as follows: Asia
309,900,000 pounds; Europe, 281,844,-
000 ; America, 247,180,500 ; Africa, 20,-
300,000; Australia, 714,000 ; making
iu all 995,039,000 pounds.
As UxcstJAL Service. —We find in
the New Haven Palladium the follow
ing account of a novel and impressive
ceremony -.
“The Jewish (orthodox) congrega
tion, Sons of Peace having received
from Europe anew ‘scroll of laws,’
celebrated the inauguration of the same
yesterday at one o’clock I’. M. Tl>«
ceremonies were very impressing. The
most important feature was the selling
at auction in the Hebrew language of
the oncies, or letters which are left va
cant in the beginning qf the scroll, which
are considered as a symbolical idea
that the purchaser has the privilege to
insert one of these letters to convey
the idea that the writer of this letter
also had a hand in the writing of the
Tourais Noshe (Laws of Moses.)
After this a procession was formed
four Israelites carrying the Chtippa, a
square covering, the corners of which
were on large poles, representing the
canopy of Heaven, and under this a
purchaser of the privilege carried the
Torah, which is a scroll of parchment,
on which is written in Hebrew, the
guroshe, gumshe Torah, or five books
of Moses. After this a feast was held
at Arcade Hall, where the heavily laden
tables proved that provision had been
made for the inner man. Speeches of
great interest in relation to the cere
monies were made by several of the
jnvited guests, after which the com
pany dispersed to their homes well
pleased with the religious service.”
A Villain. —Were we called upon to
paint a perfect devil, we would not paint
a horned monster, red hot from pande
monium, hissing and spurning his lava
from eyes, mouth, and nostrils. We
would not limn a yelling, tattooed In
dian, with one hand grasping his reeking
tomahawk, and with the other clutched
in the long tresses which he has just
torn from the head of a defenceless
lernale. We would not paint a sinister
assassin, disguised and bludgeoned,
creeping with steady, cat-like tread into
the presence of his sleeping victim.
These are all horrid enough ; but there
are blacker devils than they upon the
earth.
This is how we should paint them.
He should he a man, courted and petted
in society, a parlor favorite, handsome
as an Adonis. We would throw long,
wavy locks around his fine proportioned
head. We would clothe him in fine
raiment. He should move in brillinnt
halls, and he the cynosure of admiring
eyes. Wise men should seemingly he
listeners to his eloquence, and fair women
should applaud him with their sweetest
smiles.
But there should he a background to
the picture. It should he a girl, humble,
but fair as the lily, whose heart is the
charnel house wherein is entombed her
de*d virtue, and with slender, emaciated
finger, should point out her seducer, the
murderer of her honor, her chastity, her
sole heritage. Who would say we have
not painted a perfect devil ?
Among 10,000 |»ersoiiS, one arrives at
ninety ; und one in one hundred lives
to the age of sixty years. Married men
live longer thaii those who are single.
The yearly mortality of the globe is,
3,333,333 persons. Thus, at the rate of
J) 1,554 per day, 3,730 per hour, and f.O
per minute, men pass away.

Nov. 14th, ISfifi. j
"I have examined with great care the
Goodrich Series of School Headers, edittd
by Noble Butler, A. M. I consider these
Readers admirably adapted to secure the
end for which they have been prepared.
The selections are judicious, and the ar
rangement is excellent. Reading is here
presented as an art; the consecutive meth
ods of instruction are thoroughly exhibited,
while the principles of correct and elegant
Rending, with the illustrations that em
body them, are so happily introduced, that
easy and natural progress may be made. I
am particularly pleased with the NEW
SIXTH READER. This work has pecu
liar merits. It combines, in an eminent de
gree. the best features of our most pbilo
lopphic systems of Elocutionary Reading;
and, apart from its other recommendations,
is especially worthy of the attention of
Teachers on the ground of its eclectic value.
I shall introduce the New Sixth Reader into
the Elocutionary Department of this Uni
versity. A. A. LIPSCOMB,
Chancellor."
“Butler’s Grammars impress me very
favorably. So far ns T have been able to
examine them, they strike me ns very suc
cessful efforts to adapt the subject of Gram
mar to young minds. They teach the pupil
how to think in the study of Grammar; and
at most Grammars fail at this point, I can
very fully commend theso books to the at
tention of Teachers.
A. A. LIPSCOMB,
Chancellor."
We could append the endorsement of
these rare Books from all the important
Teachers in the City of Augusta, who will
h renfter use them exclusively in their
schools.
«>ur Books have recently been adopted as
follows : Readers and Grammars into all
ilie Schools of Texas, through the action of
the State Convention at Houston, July 4th,
1 Sf>6.
Grammars, Arithmetic, and Algebra in
all the Public, and most of the Private
Schools of New Orleans.
Readers, Arithmetic, and Algebra ?n all

Opinions of the Press, Clergy, Etc.
H r will i make a few nhort extract* from
the nunn/ Tctlimonials we have received from
time to time , unsolicited.
From Editors.
The New York Examiner , says ;
Every mother and housekeeper must often
act as a family physician in the many ill
nesses and accidents that occur among chil
dren and servants. For many of those cases,
I have used Davis’ Pain Killer, and consider
it an indispensable article in the medicine
box. In diarrhoea, it has been used and
effected cures. For cuts and bruises, it is
invaluable.
The Editor of the Christian Advocate ,
says :
It is a real pleasure to us to speak favorably
of this article, known almost universally to
be a good and safe remedy for burns and
other pains of the body. It is valuable not
only for colds in the winter, but for various
summer complaints, and should be iu every
family.
A. D. Miller, Editor of Messenger, Glens
Falls, N. Y., says :
There is no medicine nt the present day I
value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable
Pain Killer. I have used it in my family
for years; in every instance it has proved a
sovereign remedy. I tested its qualities
to-day on a severe burn, and found it all
that could be desired.
Mr. John Jackson, of tho Calais Adver
ti*cr, writes :
I know it to ho all it is recommended,
having used it in my family six or seven
years.
Tho Salem Observer says .
No article of medicine over attained to
such unbounded popularity and extensivo
diffusion. It has penetrated to every part,
even the most remote, of the known world,
bearing with it its healing influences more
potent than those of the spices of “Araby
the blessed." We are informed by our
principal druggists, that they sell more of
this article for exportation than of any or
all otherp, and that the demand is constant?
increasing.
The Cincinnati Xovparcil, Nov. 14, IS4O,
says :
Some of our most prominent citizens and
business men strongly recommend it to the
public as an article of great merit and virtue,
and that they never knew any medicine to
become so dosorvodly popular in so short a
time*
From Clergymen.
Ilov. J. C. Boomer s»y»:
I have used Porry Davis’ Pain Killer with
great success in CH«es of cholera infantum,
common bowel complaint, bronchitns,
coughs, cold*, etc.’, and would chrerfully
recommend it ns a valuable family medicinu.
Rov. J. G. Stearns, says:
I consider it tho best remedy I over knew
for dyspepsia.
Rov. Edward X. Fuller says :
I have witnessed the beneficial effects of
your Pain Killer in cases of dysentery and
cholera morbus, within a sow months past,
and would cheerfully recommend its uso to
iiieh as may bo suffering from similar dii
enscs, ns n »n fe and effectual remedy.
Rev. A. Webster, Editor of tho Christian
Era, writes:
I have used your Tain Killer for many
years in my family with much satisfaction.
