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 oigurs and cigarette*, and a good of Hy this time the cigars which Mr. IJJpT *ncu had declared wore not the “kSejhtib-, five” brand had been pretty Well tldSia us the actor threw the end of his ownu/WQed U| f“ a ouspidore, he said: "Howdid you like them!

[Applause ] 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.
