Tea Drinking in Russia.

A correspondent of the Boston Transcript
gives an interesting account of tea drinking
in Russia lie says:
The visitor in st. Petersburg will notice
among the pictorial embellishments of the
shop fronts, which are singular in their ap-
pearance, a great many signs whereupon are
represented the Russian Saymoyar, or tea
urn, and set of cups and saucers or glasses.
These signify that the establishment is a tea
house, place largely patronized by the Rus
slams of all classes.
The tea of which they are so fond is
brought overland from China; thus preserv.
ing, as they claim, the peculiarly delicate
flavor which sea voyage is sure to destroy.
1t is very dear; the finer kinds costing from
five to fifteen dollars a pound AS a gene
raj rule, the black teas are preferred, al
though delicate green is in high favor with
many, at sixteen silver rubles, or about twelve
dollars a pound There is yellow tea at
about the same price, which has a trightful
effect upon ones nerves-green tea is a So
dative compared with it. The beverage,
green, black or yellow, is drunk with sugar,
but without cream, slice of lemon being
substituted, and the tea slipped by spoonfuls
You may find all grades of tea houses in
the Russian cities, even to those in which
the poorest classes gather after their DAYS
work is done, to refresh their weary frames
with the gentle stimulant. If YOU enter
one of the better class you find large room,
or series of rooms, with little tables and in
variaby a picture of the Virgin and Child
or saint, covered with plate of gold, or
silver gilt, so as to leave only the face,
hands and feet visible. Then you take your
seat at one of the windows that look upon
the street, and order your "chi." The waiter
brings a portion of tea in small pot, a
plentiful supply of hot water in another
vessel, glasses instead of cups, some slices
Of lemon and Jumps of sugar, and then a
plate of rolls of paper and tobacco for
cigarettes.
The Russians drink their tea very weak,
and the teapot is replenished with hot water
bY a native, until a person accustomed to
what is called tea in England or America
begins to find the flavor of the lemon pre-
ponderate in his glass Indeed the drinking
Of strong tea at fifteen dollars pound is ra
ther an expensive luxury. But the higher
grades are usually reserved for higher occa,
sons The kinds in general used among the
wealthy citizens Of St. Petersburg are those
averaging four rubles or three dollars
pound; in the tea house still lower quality

Joshua Phillips, New York.
TO the President of the United States of

To the President Of the United States Of
1naerica:
SiR:-Permit the children of the stock OF
Abraham to approach, you with the most
cordial affection and esteem for your person
and merit, and to join with your fellow cit-
zens in welcoming you to Newport.
With pleasure we reflect on those days
those days of difficulty and danger-when
the God of Israel, who delivered David from
the peril Of the sword, shielded your head
in the day of battle; and we rejoice to think
that the same Spirit who rested in the bosom
of the greatly beloved Daniel, enabling him
to preside over the provinces of the Babylon
ish empire, rests, and ever will rest upon
you, enabling you to discharge the arduous
duties Of Chief Magistrate of these States.
Deprived, as we heretofore have been, Of
the invaluable rights Of free citizens, we now
with a deep sense of gratitude to the AL
mighty dispenser of all events,) behold a
government erected by the majesty Of the
people--a government, which to b'gotry
gives no sanction, to persecution no assist
ance, but generally atfording to ALL, liberty
of conscience and immunities of friendship,

extensive federal union, whose base is phi
lanthropy, mutual confidence and public
virtue, we cannot but acknowledge to be the
work of the great God, who ruIeth in the
armies of heaven and among the inhabitants
Of the earth, doing whatever seemeth to Him
good.
For all the blessings of civil and religious
liberty, which we enjoy under an equal and
benign Administration, we desire to send
up our thanks to the Ancient Of days, the
great preserver Of men, beseeching Him that
the Angel who conducted our forefathers
through the wilderness into the promised
land may gracously conduct you through
all the difficulties and dangers of this mortal
life. And when, like Joshua, full of days
and full of honors, you are gathered to your
fathers may you be admitted into the IIea-
venly Paradise, to partake of the waters of
life and the tree of Immortality.

A Satisfactory Answer.

An attorney in the country recently re-
ceved an account from abroad for collection,
and in reply made the following statement
of the financial condition of the section of
Minnesota in which he resides, which was
doubtless perfectly satisfactory to the credi
tor:
"Now, | am perfectly astonshed at you
for sending claim out here for collection in
these times. You might as we'll cast your
net into the Lake of Fire and Birthstone" 4"
expecting to catch sunfish, or into the cee-
brated Stygian pool to catch speckled trout,
as to try to collect money here. Money! |
have faint recollection of having seen it
when was a small boy. l believe it was
given me by my uncle to buy candy with.
(The candy do remember.) But it has been
so long since have seen any, that | almost
forget whether gold is made of corn or mus
tard, or silver of white onions or fi~h scales.
Why, sir, we live without money. You're
behind the times. 1t is relic of barbarism
of ages past. We live by eating, sir-we
do. Hoot man, the millennium is coming,
the year of jubilee has come, and all debts
are paid here las much as they will be,) un-
less you take prguce" The word money
is not in our vocab u-lary, in the latest
Webster (revised for this meridian) it is
marked obsolete; formerly coin represent
ing value and use as medium of commerce.
A few small pieces can be seen in our His
torcal Society's collection, where they are
exhibited as curiosties, along with the skele-
ton of the 'Mastadon,' Noah's old boots, and

News from India records an assault with
muskets and scaling ladders an the fortress
of Beyt, which was considered impregnable.
The terror of the British arms seems to have
induced the defenders to evacuate the place,
rather than the effect of the arms themselves.
Some of the captors are said to have "loot"
to an enormous amount, the place being full
of idols of god and silver, richly adorned
with jewels. For favoured few, there ap-
pears to have been revival of old days un.
der Give and Hastings, when a shaking of
the ''pagoda tree" or the looping of bough
made man rich for life. The suppression
of the Indian rebellion has cost England dear,
though the plunder that has been secured by
both officers and privates-in many instances
converting a erinto man ofindependent
means-almost beyond computation.

THE DEAD HOUSES OF EURopE.-A CORE
spondent of the Troy Arena says: In Frank
fort-on-the Main and Munich are dead houses
to which bodies are sent previous to burial,
where they are kept two or three days, for
the purpose of ascertaining whether life has
become extinct or not. On the fingers of
the corpses are placed thimbles which are
attached to cord communicating with 4
bell. The slightest movement of the finger
rings the bell, and thus, in cases of suspend
ed animation, efforts are made to restore the
body, instead ofburying it alive, as, no doubt,
often happens in this country. In Munich it
is compulsory on the friends and relatives of
all, whether rich or poor, to send the body
to the dead house, and allow it to remain a
certain number of days-the exact time |
have forgotten. In Frankfort, l think it is
not compulsory, but it is, nevertheless, Gus
tom very generally followed.

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S REPLY.


To the Hebrew Congregation IN Newport
Rhode Island:
GENTLEMEN:-WhileI | receive with much
satisfaction your address, replete with express
sions of affection and esteem, | rejoice in
the opportunity Of assuring you, that shall
always retain a grateful remembrance of the
cordial welcome | experienced in my visit to
Newport, from all classes Of citizens.
The reflection on the days of difficulty
and danger which are past is rendered the
more sweet from consciousness that they
are succeeded by days of uncommon pros
perity and security. If we have wisdom to
make the best use of the advantages with
which we are now favored, we cannot fail,
under the just administration of a good
government, to become great and happy
people.
The citizens of the United States of Anne
rica, have a right to applaud themselves for
having given to mankind examples of an en-
lightened and liberal policy-a policy wor-
thy of imitation. All possess alike liberty
Of conscience and immunities of citizenship.
1t is now no more that federation is spoken
of, as if it was by the indulgence of one
class of people that another enjoy the exer
else of their inherent natural rights. For,
happily, the government Of the United States,
which gives to bigotry no sanction, to perse-
cution no assistance, requires only that they
who live under its protection, should demean
themselves as good citizens, in giving it on
all occasions their etfectual support.
1t would be inconsistent with the frank
ness of my character not to avow that | am
pleased with your favorable opinion of my
administration and fervent wishes for my
felicity May the children Of the stock of
Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue
to merit and enjoy the good will of the 9TH
err nhabitants-while every one shall sit in
safety under his own vine and fgtree, and
there shall be none to make him afraid
May the Father of all merces scatter light,
and not darkness, in our paths and make us
all, in our several vocations, useful here, and,
in his own due time and way, everlastingly
happy. e. S. GEORGE WAsmscroN.
