How 1T is DoNE.-We yesterday visited a
Chinese tea establishment, where they were
engaged in finishing up green teas for the
market. and drying and re dressing black tea
which had been wet by the food at Sacra-
mento. The black teas were simply dried
rapidly over charcoal fire upon broad circu-
lar trays with bottoms of finely split and
braided cane. While drying, twas re-curl-
ed by hand, and was then ready for re-pack-
ing. The green teas were dried in the same
way, and then finished up with preparation
of Prussian blue and Glenfeld starch, giving
it beautiful pearly green color. A SUBJ
stance was also added, the name of which we
could not learn, to give it the fine " boquet"
or aroma so valued by tea fanciers. We took
up some of the fine compound, and said to
John, who stood politely at our elbow:
''Do you know that this is poison ?"
"Oh, yes !" was his reply, g me know him
poison, but Mclean man want him zis CO.
lori"
And such is the fact. There is poison
enough in a single ounce of this green tea to
kill man, iftaken at once. ''Tea Tasters"
employed in Custom Houses soon sink into
the grave from the effects of this slow poi
son.-CdH.

A CoRREcT OPINION ABOUT THE NASHVILLE.
The London Star of the 22d ult. com
mences its leader in this emphatic language
Pirate or privateer, Confederate or corsair,
the steamer Nashville, now lying in South
ampton waters, is hideous blemish upon
our nineteenth century civilization. A wild
beast or bird of prey is an object of dread
but not of adherence. The Nashville is
both-a floating den of brutalized human
beings, making destruction the immediate
business of their lives-the destruction of un-
armed and unoffending ships, carrying on a
peaceful traffic upon the common highway
of nations. If Captain Pegram holds COM
mission or letter of marque, the law of
nations-to our shame be it said-will have
nothing to say to him but the moral sense
Of mankind will still pronounce his achieve
ment an outrage on humanity. Ifhe did not
carry either of those documents the law of
England at any rate will adjudge him guilty
of every specific offence, according to the
facts stated against him, and remit him to the
authorities of the nation which he disgraces,
to be dealt with according to its laws. In
either case, we repeat, he has done deed
which should make the ears of all men to
tingle, and bring to - speedy conclusion the
abominable system of making war at sea up
on the persons and property of peaceful cit
izens."

EASTERN VIRGINIA DEsERTED.-Eastern
Virginia, says letter, in the small portion
of which our forces have been able to pene
trate, is completely deserted. The farms and
dwellings, where the buildings are not burn
ed, are left in charge of few old negroes.
Fields of corn and grain are trampled to the
ground. Roofs, under which::childhood ma
cured into man and womanhood, and under
which bright eyes have grown dim with age,
are now converted into broken fragments, or
else have been consumed by the torch of the
incendiary. The tinkling of the bells attach
ed to the yoke of the cattle is yet heard in the
wood, their owners having left them behind
in their sudden fight. A silence reigns
throughout the country, save when it is bro
ken by the sharp report of a musket shot, or
the blast of the bugle from distant camp.
The beautiful town of Hampton, which num-
bered two hundred comfortable and some ell
egant dwellings, is all in ashes, and the pref
ty village of Falls Church has but two fami-
lies remaining. 1t has been neat little
village, and contains about twenty houses,
four churches, and a,hotel called the ''Star." "
The houses are chiefly frame, the exterior of
several of them, however, being rough-cast-
ed with mortar of chocolate color. In
Falls Church, those persons of the Episcopal
faith worshipped, while the other churches
represent the Presbyterian, Baptist and
Methodist denominations.

A NEW SUBSTANCE IN THE ARA scien-
tifc writer says that the theory of Mr.. Glenn
son, head of the agricultural department of
the Patent Office, of living organism; that
there is phosphoric acid in the air, derived
from the successive generations after genera
tions ofmyriads of these organisms produced,
living and dying in the atmosphere; that
such organisms exist and are at work, assim.
ilating from one to another, preparing food
for perfect organisms, from the microscopic
point of life up to the most perfect animal
existence. 1t is expected that this discovery
will explain why the earth is increased in
fertility by being broken up and exposed to
the air. 1t connects meteorology with ag-
riculture, and will, when fully developed,
open a new page to the learned of the rela-
ton of the spots on the sun, the degree of
the fertility of the earth, and electrical
changes of the atmosphere and magnetical
condition of the earth.

A FLEA UNDER MICROSCOPE a
flea is made to appear as large as an elephant
we can see all of the wonderful parts of its
formation, and are astonished to find that it
has coat of armor much more complete than
ever warrior wore, and composed of strong
polished plates fitted over each other, each
plate covered like a tortoise shell, and, where
they meet, hundreds of strong quills project
like those on the porcupine or hedgehog
There are the arched neck, the bright eyes,
the transparent cases, the piercers to pune
ture the skin, a sucker to draw away the
blood, six ongjointed legs, four of which are
folded on the breast, all ready at any mo-
ment to be thrown out with tremendous force
for that jump which bothers one when they
want to catch him, and at the end of each leg
hooked claws to enable him to cling to what
ever he alights upon. A flea can jump
hundred times his own length, which is the
same as if man jumped to the height of six
hundred feet; and be can draw load two
hundred times his weight.

UNCLE EB's TRIcK.-Uncle Eb, as we used
to call him, amongst lots of good qualities,
had failing. He did love good liquor, but
such was the state of his credit that no one
would trust him. He therefore, one day,
resorted to a trick, to answer the great desire
of his appetite. He took two case bottles,
put quart of water into one of them, put
one in each pocket, and started for the store.
" I'll take a quart of your rum, :" said un-
Gle Eb, as he placed the empty bottle on the
counter. The rum was up, the bottle replac-
ed in his pocket, when uncle Eb pulled from
his purse what, at a distance, might seem a
quarter of dollar.
This is nothing but tin, uncle Eb," said
the trader.
"Ehl now it's quarter" said uncle Eb.
6" It's tim" said the trader; g shan't
take it."
" It's all I've got.'
"Very we'll, you can't have the rum.''
Uncle Eb, without much demurring, pull
ed from his pocket the quart of water. The
trader took it, poured it into his rum barrel,
and off walked Uncle Eb chuckling.

TREATMENT OF CRoUP.-Croup is an in
fammation of the inner surface of the wind
pipe Inflammation implies heat, and that
heat must be subducd or the patient will in
evitably die. If prompt efforts are made to
cool the parts in case of an attack of Group,
relief will be as prompt as it is surprising
and delightful. All know that cold water
applied to hot skin cools it, but all do not
as we'll know and understand, that hot water
applied to an infamed skin will as certainly
cool it off, Hence the application of cold
water with linen cloths, or of almost boiling
water with wooden flannel, are very efficient
in the cure of Group. Take two or three
pieces of wooden flannel of two folds, large
enough to cover the whole throat and upper
part Of the chest put these in a pan ofwater
rs hot as the hand can bear, and keep it thus
hot, by adding water from boiling tea ket
tie at hand; let two of the fannels he in the
hot wafer all the time, and one on the throat
all the time, with dry flannel covering the
wet one, SO as to keep the steam in to some
extent: the fannels should not be so wet,
when put on, as to dribble the water, for it
is important to keep the clothing as dry as
possible, and the body and feet of the child
comfortable and warm. As soon as one fan
mel gets little cool, put on another hot one
with as little interval of exposure as possible,
and keep up this process until the doctor
comes, or until the phlegm is loose, the child
easier, and begins to fall to sleep; then gently
wrap dry flannel over the wet one hlch is
on, so as to cover it up thoroughly, and the
child is saved. When it wakes up, both fan
nels will be dry.-HaU's Journal of Health.

Charleston was gay city in April last,
when her houses were Illuminated to glorify
the taking of Sumter Her citizens, 'sardent
as Southern sun could make them," for
rebellion and war, little anticipated that one
of its early consequences would be sharp
pinching want Of the necessaries of life. as
shall make them, as the writer of the sub
joined letter says, tired of life," and that
the beautiful islands on the coast should be
in possession of the Federal troops, and
Charleston herself, the nursing mother of
treason, menaced by an army which she
could not hope to resist successfully. The
following passage is an extract of an inter-
cepted letter by gentleman in Charleston to
his friend in Bordeaux, France:
When shall peace, commerce. navigation
and prosperity be re.established? And
where shall We be, and what shall have hap
pened to us before this? Perhaps We may
all be dead; and who knows but what this
would be the best thing that might happen to
US? But, in word, he who will live shall
see! Our existence is already such here as
tires one of life
Butter, fifty cents; refined sugar, twenty
Eve; ordinary Rio coffee, forty-fve Java
coffee, sixty-fve common tea, two and a
half dollars; beef, twenty totwenty-fve to cents
each pound.
No Irish potatoes, no cheese, no hams
the last was sold at thirty-two cents per
pound: ordinary candles, ten cents piece;
lard, thirty five cents per pound salt, fifty
francs per bag-ffteen cents per pound
Coal, one hundred and one hundred and
twenty five francs per ton. A small cart
load of fire wood, seven and half to eight
francs. In fact, might continue till to-
morrow, but | think these few items will
give you an idea of the life we have here
With regard to goods for ladies, it is still
worse-it is horrible to think of.
These are the people who are making for
tunes. For instance, common calico, which
before cost six and twelve cents, now costs
fifty and seventy-fve cents yard; common
stuff for lining ladies' dresses, thirty seven
cents per yard. In fact, all stuffs worn by
ladies formerly at home, now cost as much
as silk, and silk is worth from fifteen to twen-
ty-fve francs per yard. A pair of buckskin
shoes kept in store for some years, and
which fell to pieces the first time you put
them on) cost thirteen and fifteen francs, and
even dearer; one pair of boots, one hundred
francs; half boots. fifty, sixty, and seventy
FIVE francs In fact, it is enough to make me
sick when think fit. To live, and to live,
barely live, one must spend his last penny
and what next?

No MALIGxITY IN THE ARNY.-A Wash

Courchman says:
81 have conversed with innumerable SOL
diers, officers and privates, with a view to
discover their prevalent feeling. In some
cases / have found that thoughtless ardor
for brush or battle which prevades all
armies, but in no one instance have l detec-
ted spirit of malignity. On the contrary,
over and over again have heard generous
and sad regrets at the necessity of taking up
arms against bretheren, profound wonder at
the infatuation which seeks to overthrow
this most benifcent of human governments.

little blood-shed. This is the prevailing
spirit of the army.
