American seed Corn for Persia.


VIM Cullen Bryant recently visited 9
Horticultural Exhibition at Paris, and writes
thus:
AS I was about leaving the place, I OBJ
served gentleman looking at me with a
very attentive scrutiny, as If he thought be
might have seen me before. A second glance
sufficed me to recognize him: it was Mons.
Vattemare, author of the system of Interna-
tionai Exchanges, looking as fresh as any
of the flowers in their beds around him.
He hurried me off to a place under one of the
galleries, where he had little niche, in
which were suspended In rows ears of maize
of different varieties, from the State of New
York, and on the table lay the two quarto
volumes of the Natural History of the same
State which treat of its botany. The ears of
Indian Corn, was not displeased to see,
made much better appearance than the sam
pies from Algeria, which were suspended on
wall Immediately opposite. AS we were
talking about them, two Orientals, with gilt
tering black eyes and jet-black boards, wear
ing the high, shaggy Persian eap-one of
them with features so regular and finely
formed that they might have served as a
pattern for an ideal bust-came up, and ad-
dressing Mons. Vatternare in French, asked
him for some of the ears of maize to take to
heir own country. Il viii give you them,
and great many other things BESIDES he
answered, delighted to find the opportunity
sf pushing his ystem of international exchan-
yes in a new quarter. In the midst of the
dialogue which followed, and which was
carried on with great spirit and earnestness
on the part of Mons. Vattemare, I took my
leave.

The English papers estimate that the high
cost of sugar has diminished the consump-

United States the consumption has also
been greatly checked, while the stock is
large. It is estimated that on the 1st inst

Wholesale Poisoning of Anglo-Saxon
EatinnS-

The London Times is IN painful state OF
excitement In reference to the poisoning pro-
pensities of the Chinese, and entertalns the
opinion that although the celestials are not
at all formidable at close quarters, they may
notwithstanding do great execution at long
distances, with 'tGunpowder" and Cams
ter" It is probable that the editor OF the
Times is not very deeply interested In the
tea trade; or PERHAPS he has come to the
conclusion that 'syarb tea'' is quite as good
and as wholesome as the imported article,
and like the Irisbman with nineteen chill
dren, he is a Native and wishes to en-
courage home manufacture. His warning
witt probably carry dismay to the hearts OF
myriads of venerable tea-drinkers, who can
find no substitute for their well-beloyed and
favorite beverage; and temperance men viii
tremble In their shoes till they know the re-
suit, for fear that the awful prophecy may
be fulfilled and the nation so be driven 10
abandon ningyong and oolong, and souch-
ong, and all the other 'tongs," and to swill
instead an ocean of lager beer.
The most amusing part of his article is
the GOODNESS with which he assumes that
'tour wars" (that is, English wars) have
been as awfully destructive to human life in
America as the cholera or the yellow fever.
We viii not quarrel with him on this point,
for from the annexed paragraph from the
Times it win be seen that, as the nations
ought to De united IN their lives, so they viii
not be divided in their death:
"Is there anybody so foolish as to suppose
that the Chinese will not poison every box
or ehestof tea, preserved ginger, swettneats.
chow w-chow, marnalade, or anything else
that is exported from China for che use of
foreigners? We believe honestly and tru
ly that the destruction of human life in this
country and in America, fronfthe use of
poisoned tea, will be the most earful ealam-
ity that has ever visited the twp countries in
this century. 1t will kill more people in
England than were killed in the Crimea.-
1t will destroy more human life in the Uni
ted States than our wars, the yellow fever or
the cholera. People continue to drink tea,
and think there is no danger! 1t will be a
fatal mistake. Wait until the cargoes of tea
now on their way to American ports are
landed. Those who dream that we shall es
cape poisoned tea, had better preserve the
extracts from the Times. We have no
doubt that our warning articles about tea
will save thousands of lives in this country.
We wish all would take the warning In
time. ."-Boston Traveller.

The Slavery Question in Oregon.
We have been kindly favored with let
ter containing the following extract, just re-
ceived from Oregon Territory. 1t is from
a gentleman of the highest responsibility
and position, and exhibits the view of the
settlers in reference to Slavery, considered
as practical institution. As long as ne
groes rule at present high prices we have
no faith in their introduction into Oregon.
But this statement goes far to show the rec
ognized advantages of the institution, and
the sickly sentimentality of IFS opponents.
Northern men are not slew to see the truth
and recognize it, when their interest does
not lie in the opposite direction, and their
sectional prejudice is not stirred up. Here
is practical demonstration of their sagac-
ity:
ASTORIA, o. T.. April 2os 1857
We shall have warm times In this Ter
ritory until We are admitted into the Union
as State. The Slavery question viii swai-
low up every other consideration, and you
need not be surprised if Oregon knocks for
admission with Pro-Slavery Constitution.
The difficulty of obtaining laborers and
family servants is working great change
in the feelings of even Northern people set
tied here, throughout the farming portions
of the country, and the mining regions are
almost unanimous for Slavery. There viii
be some bowling done by the negro wor-
shippers here before we get through the 6ght.
I shall 60 for Slavery myself, for I, togeth-
er with my wife, have become tired of do
ing the work for which negroes only are
by nature made and constituted. The pres
ent price of labor here Will keen us down
for generation. unless we are permitted to
purchase slaves from the States and hold
them. In such an event We win make Or
egon shove ahead, snd soon have a better
state of society than we now have.

Southern Eloauence.

The completion of the railroad from
Charleston to Memphis was recently celebra-
ted with great festivity by the latter city.
This event has impressed itself very univer-
sally on the minds and hearts of our South
ern brethren as great marriage ceremony,
'ta fgurative Honeymoon" Under this
impression, aided by the stimulus of after
dinner potations, the Mayor got off the fol-
lowing:
There has been much said about nuptial
ceremonies and the marriage of the Allan
tic to the great Father of waters. 1 hope ]
may be pardoned warm image at a time
when we are singing epithalamiums. I
would lken the fair and fertile west to a
ripe and blooming virgin-whose heart is
already more than half our own-the affec-
tionate light of whose modest eyes, as they
coyly turn toward US, involuntarily invites
us and gently chi les our slack wooing-
Gentlemen of the Southern Atlantic States,
will you stand insensible and unmoYed, and
expect that she shall actually loosen her
zone, and throw herself into your arms?
MOI press forward at once, and win her,
before some keen Yankee, who seeks her
for her money bags alone, and never would
glove, honor, and cherish her. as we would,
with no more blood in him than in the tur-
nip out of which he makes his best French
champagne, thrusts himself between you,
and carries her off before your eyes. Urge
your suit-make her yours, and wear her in
your heart of hearts, and from the auspi-
cious union will spring band of happy off
spring; rosy peace, and smiling plenty, and
clear-eyed social faith, and manly security,
and eternal friendship.
