L, Nov. 1.—James M. Eddy, who has beeu di^mg for Captain Kidds treasure and who turned up an iron kettle full of Spanish silver com# on the beach adjoining hia farm opposite the Summer r*«sort, Westport, arrived at his homo io Johnston yesterday with hia wealth. He denief that hia grandfather ever had anything to do with pirates, or that hia father ever told him of the burled treasure He said that two years ago he bocamc the possets or of » piece of parchment that apparently had served as a drum-head, and which had been converted into a chart purporting to describe the location of three lots of buried gold, silver and other valuables, cached by a pirate many years ago. The lines were drawn as though with a sharpened stick. On the chart were three points designating the burial places of the wealth.The alerting place was a rock on Horae Neck Point, a wild piece of land. When this parchment was found Eddy was confident it waa a valuable document. He determined that no ouo should know of hia plans, and without iiuperttug a bint of what he was about he began Operations at the place indicated. He readily found the rock, but hia labors during the Summer of 18S7 were not rewarded. During the past Summer he continued his labors. He proceeded cautiously and patieutly, and worked his way in the course directed, and last Monday made the discovery. He declares that it will be an oaay matter to find tho remainder of the wealth.One of the two undiscovered treasures is stated io the chart to be gold coiu and the other diamonds or jewelry. unearthed treasure, Mr. Eddy says, will stay where it is until be get* ready to dig it np. The dates on the silver range from 1Tb! to 1851, showing that it ia not a part of Captain Kidd’s long-sought treasure. Mr. Eddy will not tell hia theory, but saya it ia a pirate treasure.Aiiot r romuu.It ia assorted that tobacco was in m China from the earlieattin.es, but we have no certain knowledge that such was the case It it was sc the knowledge ol the plant and its usee must have been jarcfaHy guarded bj the I biocsc, for it «*« net introduced into any other Oriel-tai nation until aft » t» t.—- r of America. W hen Columbus brat landed on the island of San Domingo, in the West Indies, he found tobacco in use among the natives there, who smoked it when made into small clyindrioal roils and wrapped in tneite ieaf. l'nc Indians on the continent smoked iu a pipe, and among all the tribes, from Peru to upper Canada, the first discoverers found the plant to be m use, and to have known to thsm from so early a period that the lime of Ha first discovery was unknown. The smoking of tobacco with the ludiaoa partook largely of the nature of a rclig •ous rite.

Tho name is said to have been taken from TabaccO, a province of Yucatan, though other- derive it from Tobago, an island in the Carribean sea. yet others from Tobaaco, in the gulf of Florida. The practice of smoking the dried leaf of the plant became geueral in Spain, and ite manufacture into snuff followed soon after. It was introduced into Italy in 1560, and about the «amc time into France. The first to briug theSlant into the latter country was Joan icot, tho French Ambsaaador to Portugal. in whose honor tobaeco reosived its botanical name nicotiano, whence the name nicotine, applied to a poisonous ex-trat from the plant. Tobacco is said to have been first introduced into England by Sir Walter Raleigh. From these beginnings the use of the tho weed spread over the entire eastern continent. It did not become known in Asia uutil tho seventeenth century; but was taken np by the Orirn tal nation* with great eagerness, and they are now the greatuet smoker* in the world.—New York Oraphlo.
