A Public Nuisance.

THE smoking habit has become in many places an intolerable nuisance. If men will smoke, let them do it where they will not incommode others who have equal rights with themselves, and to whom tobacco smoke is offensive. Sometimes we are compelled to walk almost a square behind a brace of three or four persons who occupy the pavement from wall to curb, smoking cigars, the smoke coming fair in our face. The same thing occurs at railroad stations and in other public places.—Methodist Recorder.
