TEA, COFFEE AND CoCoA.-Tca was
formerly regarded as a choice lurury, and
was imported at a great eXpense-and
used only by those who were in the pos
session OF wealth. But it may now be
considered al most among the accessories
of llie--and no families, however poor
and deficient in worldly goods, are will
ling to deprive themselves of their accus-
toned Soup Of tea" The quantity i'm
ported into this country is enormous--at
a great annual expense. In the year end
ing September 80, 1910, according to Off
cial documents, the amount of teas impor-
ted was 19,9Sl,176 pounds, valued at
S5,4l7,5S9. A very large portion of this
great amount was consumed in this coun-
try.
The value of coffee introduced into
this country is still greater. During the
period referred to, it amounted to 3D.
996,095 pounds, valued at 1864, 222.
During the same period, 2,G26,3 1863 pounds
of cocoa were introduced, at a cost of
+ l6l,6S9. 1t thus appears that the value
of all the tea, coffee and cocoa, imported
into this country during one year, was up
of fourteen millions Of dollars

The Hours Of the Wise and

The Hours Of the Wise and Foolish.
The hours Of wise man are heightened
by his ideas, as those of IA fool are by his
passions. The time of the one is long,
because he does not know hat to do
with it; so is that of the other, because he
distinguishes every moment Of it with
useful or amusing thoughts-or, in other
words, because the one is always wish
ing it away, and the other always enjoy
ing it.

and battery case in Queen AIMS County
court, the present week, witness for the

he ''was eating a hunk Of gingerbread''

from this reply, quickly enquired 'and

young lady in New Hampshire fell into
the mistake, so often committed, of eating
a portion of arsenic which had been pre-
pared for the destruction of rats.-Painful
symptoms soon led to inquiry; and her
mistake was discovered. An elderly lady
who was presented, advised that she
should be made to vomit, as speedily as
possible, and as she had always felt per-
feet loathing for tobacco in every shape,
1t was supposed that this would at once
effect the purpose. A pipe was used, but
without producing nausea. She next
chewed large portion OF strong tobacco,
and swallowed the juice, and that even
without IA sensation of disgust
A strong decoction was then made OF
hot water, Of which she drank perhaps
half pint. Still there was neither nall-
sea nor dizziness, nor did it operate at all.

On the arrival Of physicians an emetic OF
blue vltlrol was administered, and produ-
ced one operation. One or tive days al
ter there was discharge Of dark green
color, approaching to black. No ill con-
sequences followed.
Another case occurred in the same
place few years subsequent, in which
arsenic was taken through mistake, by a
sick person, and she employed tobacco
with the same success. She, too, had al
ways loathed the article, but now chew

producing sickness at the stomach No

OHIO ELECTION


The returns from Ohio, SO far as they go, are
much better than we had any right to anticipate.
Instead OF guaranteeing every thing without blow
struck ~ defence, like the wings Of Georgia, Penn
sylvania and Mary land, the wings OF OHIO have
for the most part stood their ground like men, aud
in some parts have even done better than they did
last year II IL true, that in few counties which
before last year haye always been locofoco, the
wings have sustained a nominal loss. But this
was to he expected while we have most unexpec-
teddy retained several OF the counties which the
name of Harrison made wing for the first time
Among these is Pickaway, which has given de-
cided wing majority. We have already gained a
Senator in the Ashtabua or Lake district, and an
other in the Clinton district. This last is most un-
expected, and leaves fair chance for the Senate.
This II confirmed, will indeed be triumph. The
wings have never carried the Senate, owing to the
gerrymanderng of the tories, even when they had
twenty thousand majority in the State. The fol-
lowing is the result in :he Senate so far as ascer-
tained wings H. ocos Ia.
Eight districts remain TO he heard from, which
we hive reason to hope will stand five wings to
three locofocos.
The House is in some doubt, owing TO the
shameful gerrymandering, by means of which
counties with large wing majortes send but one
member each, while those with small tory mejor-
tiles send more than their proportion.

THE EVENING CLOUD.

A cloud lay Graded near the setting suns
A CLEAN Of crimson tnged Its brndei snow,
Long had watched the glory moving on
O'or the son radiance OF the lake below.
Tranquil It's spirit seemed, and foated slow;
Fen in its very motion there was rest
While every breath Of eve that CHANGED TO blow,
Waited the traveller 10 the beauteous west
Emb EN-, methought, of the departed soul,
To whose white robe the CLEAN OF light is qiyenj
Aud by the breath Of mercy, made to roll
Right onward to the golden gales of Heaven,
Where to tho eye Of Faith il peaceful lies
And tells TO Man his glorious dostniss.

LONG SPEECHES in CONGRESS.

II Congress would exclude oil reporters, and
publish simply the journal of every day under
direction of the Clerks, and if they would re-
move the desks now in front of the members, we
should have fewer speeches, less length, more
10 the point, and vast deal more business would
be done.
The following extract of a letter by THOMAS
JEFFERSON may be appropriately quoted in con-
nection with this subject:
81 served with Gen. Washington in the Legislature
Of Virginia before the Revolution, and during it, with
DR.. Franklin, in Congress never heard either of
them speak ten minutes at time, nor TO any but the
main point which was to decide the question They
laid their shoulders to the great points knowing that
the little ones would follow of themselves. If the
present Congress IN too much talking, how it
be otherwise a body which thej people send men
rho question erery thing, yield nothing, and talk BY
the hour?"

party be reduced small measure because they
have in good faith, joined tho Wing party proper,
and we rejoice at the result. The missiles Of this
writer like pop guns elevated 10 Gibraltar-th
fall short of the mark, and too feeble to do mis-

character and cabre OF these two Senator's and the
estimation in which they are held by the Wing party.
One would suppose, that their arduous services, dur

OF opposition 10 them. But we leave this writer TO his
groyelling propensiies protesting, however against
his conclusions, as Whig authority.
