OR ZEN TEA.

A correspondent Of the National ln,elligen-
Ger copies from the London Atheneum the
following facts for the information Of drink.
ers of this description of Tea
That particular variety Of tea known as
Green Tea attains its color by an artificial
process, and is thus poisoned simply. 1t is
preferred to all other kinds by the merchants
Of The United States, and commands much
higher price. The coloring matter used in
the process Of dyeing this tea consists of in
digo and gypsum. To fourteen pounds of tea
is usually applied more than an ounce Of the
poisons already mentioned; and yet the very
people who swallow this are the very first to
be Mortified at the idea Of eating. after the
chinese fashion, tenderly cooked cat or
dog. When the tea.makers are engaged in
preparing the article in question, their skin
Usually becomes Of livd blue, and their
occupation is deemed injurious 10 the health;
and, with all their fondness for tea, il is said
that Chnaman would sooner pay heavy
penalty than partake of the article which we
are in the habit of considering luxury.

OREGON,

As for the wheat Of that country, MIR. N

PACIFIC RAILROAD CONVENTION.

This body met at 81. Louis on the 18th
inst, and numbers some eight or nine hun
dred delegates principally from Missouri and
Illinois There are seventeen from this
State, and in all there about seventeen states
represented. Hon. Stephen A. Douglass Of
Illinois, was elected President, but resigned
his sert on the second day, in consequence
OF some illusions made TO him at mass
meeting on the previous night. MIR. Henry
S. Geyer, one of the Vice Presidents from
Missouri, was then elected President, bu,
Withdrew, and George Darsie, Esq, of Pitts
burg, was finally chosen. Col. Benton is
present at The Convention and made Il speech.
The reports Of the proceedings that have
thus far been received are very confused, but
there seems TO be some dlscord among the
delegates, arising not only from political di-
ferences, but from diversity Of opinion in re.

HUNGARY.

The condition Of things in Hungary is la
mentable The currency has almost wholly
disappeared. Men who were rich find them
selves without the means of supporting their
families Debts are not paid. The SONS Of
many of the nobility have been forced 10 en-
list as private soldiers in the Austrian army.
The aged and venerable Bishop of Neusohl
has been deprived of his office, and sen,en-
ced TO five years solitary confinement. Wo-
men are punished for having aided their hus-
bands and daughters for having conversed
with their fathers who are rebels. In Tran
sylvania the SaXons and Romans, hereditary
enemies of the Magyars, have hunted them
down like beasis-shooling them al sight
Enormiles of this kind were so frequent,
thai, The Austrian authority has been forced
to declare the state of siege in one part OF
Hungary. Rade,zky, the Austrian general,
has become Disguised with their barbari,y,
though he had considerable experience in
the same thing in Italy. Haynau appears
anxious 10 keep the infamous reputation he
has acquired. .-Phila. Ledger.

uEALrH OF THE susquEmANNAH.

For some years the valley Of the Susque-
hanna has borne the reputation of being a
very unhealthy region. The bare mention
of the country this side Of the mountains
makes the inhabitants of the Schuylkill
coal region shiver, and some Philadelphians
have been known to have an ague-ft at the
very idea ofa trip up the Susquehanna.--
We can not answer for any other town on
the river, but for Sunbury we must say that
a more healthy town can not be found
There has not been death from bilious
fever here during the past season, and the
cases Of ague are as few as have occurred
in place of the same number of inhabi-
tants anywhere. philadelphia physician,
whose extensive practice makes him high
authority, informed us that bilious diseases
were as prevalent there as in the most un-
healthy districts along this river. The mi
asma from low marshy ground and stagnant
water is generally considered the primary
cause of fevers. Here we have neither of
these. In the dryest seasons, the river near
this place always contains from eight to
ten feet in depth of pure water, and the
bitches of the low grounds are kept clean
by constant streams Of the same fresh ele-
ment. The number of aged persons in a
district is the strongest proof of the salu-
brity of the situation. There are now, in
this place more than forty persons above the
age of seventy gears. A greater number in
proportion to the number Of inhabitants we
challenge any town in the state to produce.
The ruddy glow that beams in the faces Of
our youth at once nails down the slanderous
reports of our il-bealth; and the bright
eyes, rosy cheeks and sunny smiles Of our
beautiful girls are evidence OF any thing
but the wasting and enfeebling effects Of
the bilious remittent, or ague.

15- The "Keystone" is down upon the
sodiouS and obnorious" doctrine of Protec-
ton to American industry and says if the
"Democratic members of Congress will adj
here to their integrity the country will be
saie'-lrom a modification of the tariff.
Such sentiments. MIR. Keystone, were
the cause OF the defeat of the democratic
party at the October and November elec-
tions of 1S4S. The sycophancy and reck-
lessness of many papers of the same party,
in changing their principles Immediately
after the passage of the bill of 1916, dis
gusted and drove into the whig ranks so
many democrats, that the scale Of the bal
ance was turned. The tariff question was
sedulously excluded from the contest of
1S49, for fear of like result. The doc
trine of Protection is not federal doctrine.
This county and this Congressional dis
trict are in favor of Protective tariff, and
no one, be he democrat or whig, can re-
ceive their sufrages who is avowediy OPP
posed to this policy. We believe this state
is in favor of the same doctrine. Every
legislature has passed resolutions in its IA
vor. Let democratic candidate avow OPP
position to this policy, and his defeat is
certain. The time has gone by when the
people Of Pennsylvania could be whipped
into the traces and mounted upon any plat
form the self-constituted leaders chose to
erect. 1t is the press, we are sorry to say,
that now wheels and doubles under the leash
Of executive patronage.

~ Below we give an extract from the
"Daily News" highly complimentary to
the ingenuity and mechanical skill of the
Editor of the American. The Ice Cream
Freezer and Beater is now at the Frank
lin Institute, in Philadelphia.
We noticed on Saturday. during a stroll
through the exhibition Of the Franklin lnsli.
tute. new invention in the shape OF an ice
cream freezer aud bealer, which is calcula-
ted greatly to lessen the labor of making this
deicacy, and by the regularity OF lis opera
ton 10 add 10 its flavor The invention is
by our excellent friend, H. B. Masser, editor
OF the Sunburg .inericdn, and is at once sim
pie and OF easy application. The whole ap-
paratIs for an ordinary sized freezer, forms,
when closed, box of about one foot square,
by two feel in height, and the entire labor
may be reformed by child Of dozen
years. II is hardly necessary for US 10 call
the attention of confeciioners to il. The
freezer is placed inside the box, working
upon pivot, leaving space of some two
and hall or three inches around for the ice.
Inside The freezer, is cutter and braier, The
first being so arranged Oh elastic springs, as
to press cons 'anlly against the side OF the
freezer, and being stationary while the free
ger revolves, cuts off the frozen cream from
The sides as fast as it freezes, and this gathers
round the shaft until all is thickened, when
it commences running through the beater.-
Upon the rim of the freezer, is placed cog.
wheel, and smaller one being attached to a
crank, regular motion is given 10 the Free
ger, until the cream is properly frozen, and
beaten ready for use. The cutting of Of thu
cream as il is frozen, is very important, and
The regularity with which the freezing and
beating is performed, produces cream the
most elegant and smooth, while II prevents
The churnng of any of the cream into butter
The great advantage of this freezer is, thai
ice cream can be frozen in less time, with
much less labor, than by any other method
while the whole appartus by being kept clio
sed makes no dirt and cream may be churn
ed in parlor.
With liltle practice, an eight quart free
ger OF cream can be frozen and ready fo
use in thirty minutes, and after the box il
re-lilled with ice, the cream can be KEEP
frozen "a hours. Mr.. Masser deserves grea
credit for his invention, and its merits onl,
need be known, to bring il into general use
