4 Simple Rcmedy--A writer in tho
Baltimore Sun, who has been afflicted Sc
veroly in his family by that appalling dis
case, bronchitis, has found relief from the
following remedy: Take honey in the comb,
squeeze it out and dilute with little water,
and wet the lips and mouth occasionally
with it. 1t has never been known to fail,
in cases where children had shsoats so
swollen as to be unable to swallow. 1t is
certainly simple remedy, and may be- i
very eticaeiops ore. "'E' f'ef ,'

More Tea, aud Cheaper Tea, and how
to tell Good Tea.

Tie shipments from China ports to the
United States during the months of June,
July and August, exclusive, appear TO have
been double that of last year, during the
sane time. Very respectable black ard
green teas have recently been sold Al New
York, by the chest, at auction, at reduc-
ton of 20 cents a pound from the prices OBJ
tanned short time ago, it may be adyanta-
geous to some of your numerous readers,
perhaps, to know how to detect good black
tea from inferior qualities. The jssat black
tea should have the color of black cast,
leaves of a moderate size, !. little rounded
in their shape, and little reddish IL tLeir
hue. If it resists, and, as it we're pricks
the hand upon being touched, it is proof
that it las been properly dried, but il it
crpmb les to powder, as IL oftea does, it Is i
certain proof that it is quite too old or Jas
been too much roasted.
The usual manler Of proving teas By the
tea brokers is to put q quantity into q
porcelain cup and pour on il hot boiling
water, placing the saucer above the cup,
which they fiji also with hot water j. erder
to increase the heat. The Pekoe, generally
called Orange Pekoa," was formerly con-
sidered one Of 4he n.oss desi. able among the
better grades, is the mildest favor, tie
least heating in its effects, and has sweet
violet smell.

The Swamp Lands to be withheld from
Sale Commissioner Ireada0eU afraid to
Execute the laVs Of a Republican Legis-
lature!
We learn that Hon. S. B. Treadwell, Com
missioner of the State Land Office, has con-
Guided not to sell the Swamp Lands. We
have said some hard things concerning the
late Republican Legislature, but if any
body believes we have told an untruth con-
corning it, let him read Commissioner Tread
wells comments upon the Swamp Land Law.
1t will be recollected that this law was the
"great measure" of the session; notwith-
standing, the Commissioner considers it so
imperfect he takes the responsibility to null
ify it! What commentary is this upon the
late Legislature. The reasons of the Com
missioner for Withholding the Lands from sale
are as follows:
1st. On account Of the unreasonable and
unnecessary expense Of advertising them at
length in all the counties in the State where
newspaper is or may be published amount
ing, from the terms of advertising, by care
full computation, to nearly half million of
dollars as much if not far more, in my
Judgment, than the 25 " cent that would
be received in cash at their public sale at
their present minimum price as such sales at
present think must necessarily be compare
lively limited.
I'd. That no provision is made in the law
for their forfeiture to the State for non-pay-
ment of taxes, the same as for the non-pay-
ment of interest.
Sd. That they must be advertised and
sold according to the legal subdivisions by
which they are patented to the State; thus
debarring actual settlers, as well as all others,
from purchasing anything less than whole
section, in all cases where whole sections are
so patented, and thus to be advertised in one
description.
4th. That mode of advertising them of
very doubtful legality, to save expense, as has
by some few been suggested, would subject
the sale TO an injunction, and thus involve
the State in very heavy expense for moth
ing; as in the case of the enjoined sale of
1854.
The people of this State will begin to see
the benefits derived from State Admins
tration devoted to the interests of Bleeding
Kansas"

IMPORTATION OF WHEAT.-It is fact well
known to our readers to some of them per-
haps by painful experience-that the high
price of flour and provisions in general is un-
precedented in our history for the past dozen
years at least The cause of such high tar
ia, particularly in relation to flour, is thus set
forth in the Daily Enquirer and Herald, of
the 9Th inst:
WHEAT.-M. L. Sweet, some time since,
purchased at some Of the ports on the West
coast of Lake Michigan, 5000 to 1000 bush
els of wheat, for the purpose of manufacture
ing the same into Flour for the people of
the Grand River country. The wheat, we
believe, is now at Grand Haven, but will
shortly be brought to this city. The reasons
for importation of wheat into this county the
present year are two fold; first the compare
lively light crop Of last season, which, how
ever, would have been sufficient for home
purposes, had not great quantity of it been
exported to Buffalo, and other Eastern Ports.
Secondly, the immense immigration into our
midst of the best classes of community. To
this might be added the fact, that the Grand
River and Muskegon country contains very
large number of manufactures of various
descriptions, the operatives Of which con-
sumo but do not produce any provisions"

ES- $1,000 WORTH OF SEED WHEAT FOR
KANsAs.-It is automatically stated that
Gov. BINGHAM has made draft Of $1,000 on
our State Treasurer for the purchase Of Seed
Wheat for Michigan settlers in Kansas. This
is the first draft upon the $4,000 appropria-
ted by our last Fusion Legislature in aid
of our settlers in that Territory.
Thousands of hearts would have been
made glad in our own State if like appro-
priation could have been made for their re-
lief; but now, while the liberality of our law
makers extends itself even to far off Kansas,
our poor people at home, even within sight
of our State House, suffer the pangs of hun
ger, and in some of the more recently set
tied counties are obliged to subsist upon the
roots of their own forest trees, or those Of the
wild plant that early spring yields from her
bosom, to enable them to prolong an exist
ence, miserable in the extreme, yet dear to
them still. True charity and sympathy, while
they embrace the qohole world within the
sphere of their acts of kindness, benevolence
and humanity, are first cognizant of the af-
ficted and destitute at home. Such, howev-
er, IS not the policy of our present State Ad-
ministration. "Kansas bleeds! !"

OPERATIONS OF THE U. S. MINT IN 1856.
From the report of the Director of the U.
S. Mint, Mr.. James R. Snowden, of the ope-
rations of that institution for the year 1856,
we gather some interesting facts. The total
amount of deposits was $50, l9O,O63 SO, viz:
of gold, S54,07s,4O2 20; of silver Including
purchases, $5,12o,694, 43. The coinage for
the same period, including bars, was as fol-
lows: Gold coins, $36,697,76S so; silver
coins, S., 5,24O copper COINS $27,16O 49,;
gold bars, $22,645,597 So; silver bars, $751;
43O II. Total amount of coinage, including
bars, 64,567,1 42 80. The number of
pieces of coin struck were 35,S43,S47 the
number of gold and silver bars, 7,119.-
Some of the bullion received at San Francis
co, and formed into bars, is subsequently de-
posted at the other minting establishments,
and the deposits received for coinage at the
Assay Office are transferred to the Mint
Deducting these re-deposits, the actual
amount of gold and silver received during
the year was $53,O18,926 So. The amount
of gold of domestic production deposited at
all of the minting establishments during the
year 1856 was as follows: gold produced
from the State of California, 47,5O9,411-
Os; from the Territory of Oregon, $40, $50;
and from the Atlantic States, $32S,2sO 10;

LOOK TO YOUR TEA-LoRD PALMERsToN
AND JOHN CHINAMAN.-That there is to be
war between England and China is no
longer matter of doubt. The result of the
English election, by placing Lord Palmerston
on the pinnacle of power, is pretty sure
guarantee that the Celestials will get we'll
peppered.
1t is said that the cooperation of the
French Government in the further English
operations in China will be of the heartiest
kind. The Portuguese are also fitting out an
expedition. The garrison of Macao, which
was coded to the Portuguese in 1879, will be
raised to 1000 men, selected from the best
troops. England is fitting out a swarming
feet of gun-boats. The Chinese are not idle,
but promise vigorous defence.
The instructions given to Lord Elgin, the
English ambassador, are interesting. l..
The old treaties are to be renewed, and eight
ports Of China, an place Of fOe, are to be
opened to European powers;; and, in addi-
ton, English trading vessels are to have the
right of putting in, from stress Of weather or
for repairs, to every point on the coast. 2.
England is to have, like Russia, College at
Pekin. The head oc that establishments,
which is to be composed of five members at
least, is to be charged with all official rela-
tions with the Chinese Government. And,
Sd, the English are to have military posts in
all the towns in which they have Consuls or
agents. A piece of ground shall be conce-
ded to them at Shanghai, and another at
Canton, on which to raise forts and form mil
itary establishments, the strength of which
shall be fixed by common accord
These demands are to be wrested from the
Emperor Of China at the swords point. Of
course there is no doubt of the result and of
the great advantages that will accrue to all
commercial nations by the opening of the
Celestial Empire.
In the meantime let every one look to
their Tea!
