AeE.-Some thirty years ago, young man, a
gardener, who worked for twelve shillings week,
at a garden near the Duke of Devonshires villa,
at C6iswick, five miles west of Hyde Park, said or
did something which offended the master garden
or, and was turned off. He was standing unem-
ployed one day near the dukes garden gate. His
grace, in passing, spoke to him, entered into ia
milinr conversation. ascertained thathe was jour
newman gardener out of work, and, walking into
the garden, the young man with him, was pleased
with his intelligence and manners-not The man

nobeman with sycophantish words, but the man
Of an intelligent man who knew bis PROBES
sion, and could speak about it unembarrassed to
another, no matter whom. The duke asked him to
call Mt Devonshire house the next day, and the
young man did; and the call resulted in his being
sent down to Chatsworth, in Dcrbyshire. There
he soon made way, and reached, as practical and
scientific gardener the very head Of his profession,
which position he had long maintained before he
was known TO the world Ms Mr.. Paxton, the de-

TEA IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-The Charleston Co,t-
rer notices the arrival in that city of Francis Bo-
nynge, gentleman who has spent fourteen years
in the East, actively engaged in the cultivation and
manufacture OF indigo, sugar, saltpetre, tea and
coffee and whose present object is to introduce in
to the southern States the culture Of the plant
the mangoe tree, date tree, coffee plants, &c. and
the melons and vegetables Of the East Indies, and
to carry out the manufacture of the tea leaf and
also of the indigo plant, and to give full and fair
trial to both tea and indigo.
Mr.. Bonynge says that the soil and climate of the
southern States more suited 10 the cultivation
of tea than those in China. and that indigo,
which was, by -the-by, formerly produced in the
southern States, can be grown to any extent. and
that the coffee plant in all probability would flour
ish there to great advantage, inasmuch the soil
and undulating nature of the land would be in ita
favor, and the cold Of the latitude Of Charleston is
not tense by thirteen that of the east of China
In fact, MIR. Bonynge has seen this plant growing
wild in north latitude 27o 30, hills of from three
to five hundred feet in height, where, too, there
abundance of frost, SNOW, and hail.
