I know YOU smoke," passing a box of Havanas to the professor. Prof. Cortlandt, LL.

Bearwarden in his.
Is freemasonry a fraud? or champagne? are Havanas? Best brand of whiskey? Ought Building and Friendly Societies to be supervised? Smoking in theatres. Should gentlemen pay ladies' cab-fares? Genius and insanity. Are cigarettes poisonous? Is luxury a boon? Thirteen at table, and all other superstitions are they foolish? Why young men don't marry. Shall we ever reach the Pole?
"And if she hasn't seen him, where was he going?" At this juncture Nick espied a cigar butt on the floor; unseen by the others, he hurriedly picked it up and threw it in the fire. "One o' our dollar Havanas! Good Lord, he's here!" he muttered to himself. "Rance is right. Where was he goin'?" was the question with which he was confronted by Sonora when about to return to the others.
Aaron Cohen, smoking the best of Havanas, had finally shrugged his shoulders and said: 'As you please! "But at half-past one he had had enough of the player, who always lost and never paid never could pay, so Mr. Cohen probably believed. He therefore at that hour refused to accept Mr. John Ashley's 'promissory' stakes any longer.
Dreaming over one of his enormous Havanas after a perfect dinner, Baron Volterra, Senator of the Kingdom of Italy, often wondered whether the prosperity of the whole world would not be vastly increased if the Vatican would consent to be the general financial agent for the European nations. Such stability as there would be, such order! Above all, such guarantees of good faith!

But, in spite of his cheery good nature, he was a man with a strong will and a fiery temper of his own.
When it was allowable to halt, what a glorious time it was! Men, who a moment before would have been delighted with a pone of cornbread and a piece of fat meat, discuss the comparative merits of peaches and milk and fresh tomatoes, lobster and roast beef, and, forgetting the briar-root pipe, faithful companion of the vicissitudes of the soldier's life, snuff the aroma of imported Havanas.
"I believe we are allowed to smoke in here after ten," Gurdon said. "If that is the case, why not have a cigar together, and discuss the matter? What I am anxious to know at present is the inner meaning of the finger in the box." There was no objection to a cigar in the dining-room at this late hour, and presently the two friends were discussing their Havanas together.
"Number 317, was it not?" he repeated thoughtfully, "an unlucky number for you, I fear! ... By the bye, Mademoiselle is in the neighborhood." "What of it?" I asked. He looked at me long and curiously. Then he sighed and lit still another of my finest Havanas as he prepared to depart. "You will be better off," he said, "without that legacy!"
The Public said: "These are, all of them, Pitt's bolts, not yours, launched, or lying ready for launching, from that Olympian battery which, in the East and in the West, had already smitten down all Lallys and Montcalms; and had force already massed there, rendering your Havanas and Manillas easy for you.
