British batallions of foot and cavalry have been marked off for service in the East, steam transports are being prepared for the transpor-t.ton of troops and munitions of war to Malta and Constantinople, and every available man-of-war is cruis-i.ig in the Mediterrare n.

I* «* r.1 The Weed.—We notice bv our Eastern exchanges that the Methodist ministers of Baltimore have been agitating the question of prohibiting the use of tobacco by young men who are candidates for the ministry and those who are already in the sacred calling. Now, tobacco is a much maligned and abused plant. We don’t mean to defend it, but we submit that since its discovery in American soil and its introduction intb civilized society by Sir Walter Raleigh, the world has been constantly growing better in its practices The world was in former times, and is still, addicted to much worse habits than indulging in the soothing effects of its fumes. It has been a solace to thousands in their hours of vexation or despondency, and who knows what it may have saved them from by calming their agitation down from the verge of despair. We know notwhether any important effects upon the intellect are to be traced to the Indian weed. We do know that philosophers like Newton, poets like Scott and Tennyson, and scholars, statesmen and soldiers of high renown, have found aid and comfort in its genial influences. Perhaps its use is not to be recommended to the rising or declining generation, and certain it is that excess in this as in everything else is to be scrupulously avoided. But we really hope that no theological or political crusade will be made against a practice of which the worst that can be positively Mid is, that it is offensive to many of those who do n ot indulge in it.PROCEEDINGS• .op the cet xTY ronamioxFn opJUTERKOX CVISTY, W.
