SMOKING MEN.
VVilllam J. Florence Gives an Account
cf Some of Them.
From the Brooklyn Eaqle.
Just after the auction of the Star Theatre
New York, when Joseph Jefferson and
William J. knocked down the
jjou.se at such a handsome figure for the
veteran Douldoek’s benefit, I had the pleasure
of chatting with Mr. Florence mid two or
three friends for half an hour. We talked
about Mr. Florence's trip to Europe, on
which he was to sail, and did, the next clay;
and about former European trips of his and
his friends across the water and the distin
guished people he had met there. Then
Mr. Florence pulled a handful of cigars from
the inner consciousness of his raiment some
where and passed them around.
“They’re not locomotive cigars,” said he,
“the sort it takes constant puffing to keep
going, like a poor cigar.”
The torch was duly applied around the cir
cle, and he added:
“I shall carry half a dozen boxes of this
brand with me on the steamer. They say a
man who can smoke on shipboard is hot apt
to deliver up unto the sea that which is his
digestion. So I always start out bravely
with a lot of cigars. When I’m two or throe
days out I forget all about them. A cigar
never has the same flavor for me at sea.
I’erhaps that proves I’m not much of an old
salt, for all good sailormen are hard smok
ers,ashore or afloat."
“Does the rule apply to goQd actors
ashore. Mr. Florence?” I asked.
“Not to all good actors, perhaps,” replied
the comedian; “but to a good many of
them.” ,
That set the anecdote current going again,
and what Mr. Florence knew about great
smokers was evolved with the curling
wreaths of blue smoke.
“Henry Irving, to whom I am going for
a long promised and longer put off visit,”
said he, “smokes cigars, and a great many.
He knows a good cigar and never smokes
any other, though he is equally fond of mild
or strong ones.
“Edwin Booth smokes a pipe. In fact, ho
is an habitual pipe smoker. He often
smokes before breakfast, while dressing, and
j is fond of a mild Virginia mixture. Elis fa
voritd pipe is a thick bowled meerschaum,
which he has carried for years. I used to
see him puffing at that same pipe almost
constantly during the war.
“Poor old John McCullough smoked lots
of cigars. They were always mild ones,
but, with his nervous temperament, as it
proved in the end, they must have hurt him.
Frequently he would light a cigar before
rising from bed and finish it while dressing.
“Then there was Ned Sothem; he was a
terrific smoker. I’ve known him to burn
100 cigars a week many a time. He would
smoke one half down, toss it away and be
gin another, repeating the operation rapidly.
He always had a cigar in his mouth, and his
pockets full. 'When he could think of noth
ing else he’d thrust a cigar at you. There
was a time when Ned and I imported our
cigars at S2OO per 1,000 from a Cubau plan
tation that is now exhausted.
“Salvini, the tragedian, is another great
cigar smoker. He consumes a dozen or so
long black cigars that look like Wheeling
Stogeys, but cost ten times as much, every
day. ' They are frightfully strong and each
has a straw through it, the regular fashion
able cigar in Italy. There the smoker lights
his cigar on an iron frame over a lamp, the
cigar resting a third of the way down into
the frame. That’s to draw out the nicotine,
bat I never could quite get fond of the idea.
Salvini has it down to an art.
“Boucicault is another accomplished
smoker. He is an authority on cigars, as
he is on all the good things of life. 1 have
smoked a cigar of his that he had kept in an
air tight chest for over twelve years.
“Nat Goodwin smokes and so does John
Mackay. Mackay runs to high priced,
25e. and 50c. apiece, and he sets fire to a
good many. Harry Edwards is an inveterate
smoker of" strong cigars. Sheridan Shook
is another great user of the rolled weed.
Frank Mayo enjoys medium cigars, and
Barrett, our Barrett, is fond of a mild cigar.
Crane smokes and so does Robeson. The
venerable Couldock takes a pipe.
| “Poor old John E. Owens used to like
cigars. Barney McAuley smoked, too. Our
lamented friend, Raymond, never touched
tohacco in any form. Neither did poor
Bartley Campbell, at least he didn’t
smoke." ”
■‘Do many actors smoke cigarettes?”
“No, I think not; that is, not many good
actors. We started to speak of them, I be
lieve.”
“What has been your observation of the
smoking habit abroad?”
“Well, there the cigarette has more
friends; not with theatrical people, particu
larl}', but with a good many well known
men. For instance, the Prince of Wales, who
uses plenty of mild cigars, generally begins
alter dinner with a cigarette and then ad
vances to the stronger weed. Lord Mande
vil!e is a confirmed cigaratte smoker. Ho
iniaies as many as five packages a day at
times. The Duke of Manchester smokes
cigarettes before his cigars, line the Prince
Cf V> ales. Hartington, the Liberal leader,
smokes good cigars like a house afire. Lord
Aylesford was a great smoker, too.
A visitor to Tennyson is pretty apt to
nn l the laureate strolling in his grounds,
vitli a short briar wood pipe in his mouth,
ms head down and his hands clasped behind
his back.
‘ I have heard that Gladstone smokes a
PJ!. When I last saw the Grand Old Man
MHa warden, however, I did not see him
Us- tobacco at all.”
"What prominent public men in this
“untry do you know tliat smoke?”
‘Oh, hundreds. I have known every
rivsident of the United States, except Gar
hfld, since the administration of Pierce, and
tncy all smoked cigars, I believe. Pretty
jfcarly all politicians smoke. Henry Wat
tfrson smokes his cigars so short they singe
ins handsome moustache. Tom Ochiltree
•mokes like a Pittsburg blast furnace, but
Utter any bad cigars. Sunset Cox smokes
tigars. Most newspaper editors smoke in
tneir offices, I think, and nearly always
Pipes. James Gordon Bennett snakes

This is not a random statement; it is a fre
and easily demonstrable. 1 1 ave a* home .
book called “Modern English Lib rature, its
Blemishes an l Defects,” by Henry H. Breen
F- S. A., a countryman of Mr. Arnold. Ii
it I find examples of bad grammar and
slovenly English from the pens of Sydney
Smith, Sheridan, Hallam, Whateley.
Carlyle, both Disraelis, Allison, Junius,
Blair, Macaulay, Shakespeare, Milton, Gib
bon, Southey, Bulwer, Cobbett, Dr. Samuel
Johnson, Trench, Lamb, Landor, Smollet,
V alpole, Walker (of the dictionary), Christ
opher North, Kirke AVhite, Mrs, Sigourney.
Beniamin Franklin, Walter Scott and Mr.
Lindlev Murray who made the grammar.
In Mr. Arnold’s paper on Gen. Grant’s
book we find a couple of grammatical crimes
and more than several examples of very
crude and solovenly English—enough 6:
them to easily entitle him to a lofty place in
that illustrious list of delinquents just
named. The following passage, all by itself,
ought to elect him: “Meade suggested to
Grant that he might wish to have immedi
ately under him Sherman, who had been
serving with Grant in the West. He beggeil
him not to hesitate if he thought it for the
good of the service. Grant assured him that
he had not thought of removing him, and
in his memoirs, after relating what had
passed, he adds,” etc. To read that passage
a couple of times would make a man dizzy;
to read it four times would make him drunk.
[Great laughter.] Gen. Grant's grammar is
as good as anybody’s; but if this were not so.
Mr. Breen would brush that inconsequential
fact aside and hunt his great book for far
higher game. Mr. Breen makes this dis
criminating remark: “To suppose that be
cause a man is a poet or a historian he must
be corrected in hfs grammar is to suppose
that an architect must be a joiner or a
physician or a compounder of medicines.”
Mr. Breen’s point is well taken. If you should
climb the mighty Matterhorn to look out
over the kingdoms of the earth it might be
a pleasant incident to find strawberries up
there; but great Scott, you don’t climb the
Matterhorn for strawberries! [Continued
applause], I don’t think Mr. Arnold was
quite wise, for he well knew that that Briton
or American was never y'et bom who could
safely assault another man’s English." He
knew as well as he knows nothing that the
man never lived whose English was flawless.
Can y'ou believe that Mr. Arnold was im
modest enough to imagine himself an ex
ception to this east-iron rule, the sole ex
ception discoverable within the three or four
centuries during which the English language
proper has been in existence? No, Mr.
Arnold did not imagine that. He merely
forgot that for a moment he was moving
into a glass house, and he had hardly got
fairly' in before Gen. Fry' was shivering the
panes over his head. [Laughter.]
People may' hunt out what microscopic
motes they please; but, after all, the fact
remains and cannot be dislodged that Grant's
book is a great (and in its peculiar depart
ment unique) and unapproachable literary
masterpiece. In their lino there is no higher
literature than those modest, simple
“Memoirs.” Their style is at least flawless,
and no man can improve upon it: and great
books are weighed and measured by their
style and matter, not by the trimmings and
shadings of their grammar. There is that
about the sun which makes us forget his
spots; and when we think of Gen. Grant
our pulses quicken and his grammar van
ishes; we only remember that this is the
simple soldier who, all untaught of the
silken phrasemakers, linked words together
with an art surpassing the art of the schools,
and put into them a something which will
still bring to American ears as long as
American shall last the roll of his vanished
drums and the tread of his marching hosts.
[Tumulutuous applause.] What do we care
for grammar when we think of the man
that put together that thunderous phrase:
“Unconditional and immediate surrender.”
And those others: “I propose'to move
immediately upon your works;” “I propose
to fight it out on this line if it takes all sum
mer.” [Applause.] Mr. Arnold would doubt
less claim that that last sentence is not
strictly grammatical, and yet, nevertheless,
it did certainly wake up this nation as
100.000,000 tons of A1 fourth-proof, hard
boiled, hide-bound grammar from another
mouth couldn’t have done. And finally we
have that gentler phrase; that one which
shows y r ou another true side of the man;
shows that in his soldier heart there was
room for other than gory war mottoes, and
in his tongue the gift to "fitly phrase them:
“Let us have peace.” [Prolonged applause
and cheers.]
DRIVEN MAD BY GRIEF.
A Mother’s Attempt to Wreck a Train
That Killed Her Boy.
F'om the Boston Post.
Last Thursday evening the members of
the family of George Joy'ce, a veteran of the
late war, sat at supper at their home on
Norfolk avenue, Roxbury.
Little Willie Joyce, a bright lad of 6
years, w'ith shining" black eyes and pleasing
-countenance, had gone out to plav. About
7 o’clock the tidings came that Willie, who
w'as playing on the railroad track close by,
had been run over and killed instantly.
Mrs. Joyce was completely overcome
and w'as almost too ill to attend the
funeral. Since then a little child but
8 years old has become very sick, arid
this morning it is feared that the child will
not live. Mrs. Joyce has become frantic
with grief, and at times displays symptoms
of insanity. As the same train which ran
over little Willie was approaching last even
ing, Mrs. Joyce appeared beside the track
with a big handbag, which she filled with
stones as largo as sne could lift. When the
train was coming nearer, she waved her
arms in the air in a frantic manner, crying
loudly; “Oh, God. my Willie!” “Oh God!
Oh God!” “My Willie!” over and over
again. The engineer whistled, seeing the
woman on the track. He noticed she did
not obey the shrill sounds,
and used all his strength in bringing the
train to a standstill. His effort was suc
cessful. Only a few feet more and the wail
ing woman would have boon crushed. She
had fallen in a faint across the track direct
ly in front of the engine. At first it was
{thought she was dead, but she rallied in a
[few seconds. Medical attendance was called
I and she was removed to a neighbor’s house
iby the police. She said, when she again
i became conscious, that she was going to
stone the train which had killed her darling
boy. Then she began to cry frantically,
time after time:
“Oh, God! my Willie!”
Two John Wesley Johnsons.
The followiug interesting item is from the
Maine Sentinel, published at Biddeford,
Me.: *
“Dr. John Wesley Johnson, of this city,
has long enjoyed the privilege seldom, if
ever before, accorded a man—that of deco
rating his own grave. As is well known,
when quite small, he was stolen by the In
dians w hile at play near the home of his
parents, then living in Limington. His
parents supposed him dead, and erected
there a tombstone, which was lettered to his
memory. His mother died in Limington,
and a tombstone was there erected to her
memory. The family, remaining removed
to Biddeford, and the remains of tlio mother
removed to Greenwood cemetery in this
city, and the two tombstones reset there.
Tho doctor’s identity was not discovered Gil
he had grown up. Ho he has had the priv
ilege of caring lor his own grave for many
years.
“Another singular circumstance connect
ed with the family is, Dr. John Wesley
Johnson has a brother precisely the simo
name now living at Columbus, Ga. After
the now Dr. John was stolon, his parents
supposed him dead. Another sou was born
to tlieni, which they named for the lost one,
so the two brothers have the same name.
The family are said to designate thorn as
‘our John’ and .Indian John,’ or ‘Dr. John.’
In the late war Dr. John Wesley Johnson
was a member of Company G, Fourteenth
Maine, and his brother John Wesley a mem
ber of Company K, of the Thirteenth Maine.
