account Of its into luction into this country will
be read with interest:
THE late James Dole, Esq. of Troy, was the
person who introduced this celebrated remedy
into extensive use in this vicinity. During the
revolutionary war, Mr.. Dole was an officer in
troop ofcayalry was attacked with the small poX
in a very severe manner. While he was conval-
scent, but as vet perfectly blind, he was led out
of the Hospital, when he was met by German
woman, who promised to cure him on condition
that he should never rcvcalthc composition of the
Eye Water, unless upon his death-hed. These
facts Mr.. Dole has communicated to me; and,
after urgent solicitations, has uniformly refused
to communicate the secret 10 me. Mr.. Dole died
in Troy, in 1924, and few days previous to his
deccase, revealed the composition to the wife Of
his son.

UPON TEAS.

Bohed, is the name of a district, and
therefore talking to a Chinese merchant
about teas, | should ask him for Bohea
Congou, or Bohea S~ouchong, or Bohea
Pekoe, in contradistinction from that of
another district.
Canton Bohea, is made from Congou
and of the tea grown in the province OF
Canton, called po.ping tea. The admix-
ture is made in Canton.
The process Of making Canton Bohea
is this. The wo-ping tea comes down to
c anton in tubs, generally, and is then put
into baskets which are arranged along the
side of a long narrow room, in the middle
of which is made a large charcoal fifo.
This room is then kept about three days
with the door shut, and a very hot fire IN
it, which is called by the Chinese the pro-.
cess of firing the tea. 1t is in fact done
TO dry the leaf sufficiently to stand for ex-
portation to England. After this firing,
it is there taken and mixed with the Con.
gou tea in a large warehouse and pack.
ed. The mode is to shoot out tea from a
number Of those baskets upon the floor Of
Congou tea over it, and so layer upon
layer, and repack thence into the chests.
Made Tea.-Tea is often made by
turning Black into Green tea, by means
Of Prussian blue.
Chop.-Chop means a number ofchests
made at the same time-all the chests
that come with the same marks upon
them.
Grouih of Manufacture Tsa.-The tea
tree is an evergreen, when the picking
begins, which is about the month of May,
il is in full leaf, and nearly ready to shoot
out again with the young shoots.
The first shoot, on the bud coming out,
covered with hair, then forms the ine
Flowery Pekoe. Should it have u few
days more growth, the hair begins TO fall
off, the leaf expands, and then j, becomes
the Black Leaf Pekoe. In this tree, Of
course, there are some young shoots
which have more fashy and finer leaves
they would make the Souchong. The
next best leaves would make the Compoy;
and the mex the Congou, and the refuse
leaves would make the FokieH Bohea.
The manufacturers, knowing the kind
of tea that will best suit their own manu.
%fac,ure, purchase from the persons grow.
ing it, the particular kind they want
those they take home, and mix so much
ofthis kind and so much Of the other as
will make the tea up to the quality they
are accustomed 10 make each particular
chop.
Thus it appears that all the black teas
are the produce Of the same tree, taking
the teas ofthe same district. The gene
raj quantity will depend very much upon
the season.
The Chinese characters for Souchong
are small and heavy meaning something
Of a small quantity, but very valuable, |
suppose.
Souchong, is the best quality Of black
lea imported by the Company.
There is also the Powchong, which may
be selected leaves this takes lis name
from the pop, or the parcel that it is dou.
bled up in.
There is also Compoy, the Chinese
for which are keen pucy, which
means carefully fired, or that the process
Of drying has been done with a great deal
of care il is also sometimes, called Keen
or carefully selected. We gener.
ally reckon the Powchong rather better
han the Souchong.

LONDON LIFE.-Let the street beggar
or the London thief be followed TO his
home (if he have one,) and mankind
will be seen existing in degradation as
great, enduring misery as sharp, as the
South Sea Islanders or the South Africans
in their worst aspect. Amongst them
poverty, vice, ignorance, have no con.
trast to heighten their effects; but here
in England, in London, perhaps at our
own back Observation-Disclosures, the most
acute, infamy the most shocking, exist
upon the same square acre with a high
condition of luxury and wealth ; and de-
spite this near neighborhood, it may be
safely conjectured that the British public
know more of the social miseries Of saw
age nations than they do of their own
poor. Yet upon this ignorance the de-
based and the criminal are specially
legislated for, sometimes incorrectly, al
ways inefficiently.
1t is a fact that in St. Giles, in the back
streets of Drury Lane, around Westmin'
ster Abbey, in the parishes of Berthnal
Green, Shoreditch, &C., nearly all along
the Surry shores OF the river, and in the
similar neighborhoods of great towns, a
state Of social civilization exists, as low
in degree as it is found in the far off re-
gions of Africa! This is no rhetorical
hourish-we have seen it.-Journal Of
Civilization.

TO MISS E-B-,
By JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
Oh! wherefore, Lady was my lot
Cast from thine own, so far1
Why, by kind Fortune, live we not
Beneath one blessed start
For had thy thread of life, and mine,
But side by side been spun,
My heart had painted to entwine
The tissue into ONE
And why should Time conspire
To sever us in twa,n7
And wherefore have l run my race
And cannot start againf
Thy thread, how long how short is mine!
Mine spent-thine scarce begun;
Alas we never can entwine
The tissue into ONE.
But take my blessings on thy name;
The blessings OF a sire,
Not from a lovers furnace flame
IT'S from a holier FIRE;
A thread unseen beside of thine,
BY fairy forms is spun
And holy hands shall soon entwine
The tissue into ONE.
