A PLEASANT PROspECr. The London
Times is in a painful state of excitement in
reference to the poisoning propensties Of the
Chinese, and entertainS the opinion that
although the celestials are not at all formula
bic at close quaters. they may do considerable
executions long distances, with " Gunpow
der" and CANISTER" 1t is probable the
editor of the Tunes is not very deeply inter-
estcd in the tea trade. His warning however
will carry dismay to myrlads Of venerable
tea drinkers, who can find no substitute fer
their favorte beverage. The most amusing
part of the Times, is the GOODNESS with which
it assumes that "our wars'(that is. English
wars.) have been as awfuilv destructive to
to human life in America as the cholera or
yellow fever. We will not quarrel on this
point, for from the annexed paragraph it will
be seen that, as the nations ought to be uni
ted in their lives, 50 they will not be divided
in their death:
rs there anybody 50 foolish as to suppose
thai the Chinese will not poison every box
or chest of tea. preserved ginger. sweetmcats,
chow-chow, marmalade, Or anything else
that is exported from China for the use Of
foreigners? We believe honestly and truly
that the destruction Of human life in this
country and in America. from the use of poi
soned tea, will be the most fearful calamity
that has ever visited the TWO countries in
this century. 1t will kill more people in
England than We're killed in the Crimca. 1t
will destroy more human life in the United
States than our wars, the yellow fever or the
cholera. People continue to drink tea, and
think there is no danger! 1t will be fatal
mistake. Wait until the cargoes of tea
now on their way to American ports are land
ed. Those who dream that we shall escape
poisoned tea, had better preserve the extracts
from the Times. We have no doubt that our
warning articles about tea will save thou
sands of lives in this country. We wish all
would take the warning in time"
