pidn,t Know il was 50 Beautifal.

A wealthy man of Boston, who owns
a country residence in the suburbs of
that city, recently became dissatisfied
with it, determined to have another, and
instructed an auctioneer, famous for his
descriptive powers, to advertise it in the
papers at private sale, but to conceal
the location, telling purchasers to apply
at his office. In few days tha gentle
man happened upon the advertisement,
was pleased with the account of the place,
showed it to bis wife, and the two con-
cluded it was just what they wanted and
that they would secure it at once. So
he went TO the Office of the auctioneer
ard told him the place he had advertised
was such one as be desired, and that
he would purchase it The auetioneer
burst into a laugh, and told him that
was the description of his own house,
where he was then living He read the
advertisement again, pondered over the
a. grassy slopes" beautiful vistas,
"smooth lawns" etc, and broke out:
- Is it possible Well, aHctioneer, make
ont my bill for advertising and expenses,
for, BY George Wouldn't sell the place
now for three times what it cost me

The Cost of a Pound Of Tea.

II il instructive aud sometimes profit
able. as well as curious, 10 examine the
way in which the cost Of a commodity is
niled up between producer and consumer,
by freights, handling, duties, exchange,
and the commissions and profits OF
middlemen. Tea, for example, IS sold
by the grower in China and Japan
at various prices, from about fifteen
TO thirty cents a pound. With freights
added. it is said 10 cost, when laid
down in any of our principal seaports,
an average of about fifty cents in
gold pound for superior brands OF
"chops." Taking this as q starting point,
the additional charges before 1t reaches
the table of the consumer are said to &C.
emulate as follows: Original cost of
tea. imported, so cents; discount on
currency to pay for it, 20 cents; duty on
gold. % cents discount on currency to
make up the gold, Is cents; contin-
gencies, 10 cents profit OF importer, II
cents profit of jobber, IL cents; profit
of retailer, say rs cents. Total, 81 "a. OF
this fifty four cents are comprised in three
profits, thirty five cents in exchange for
gold, twenty FIVE cents in duties, and ten
cents in contingencies in all one dollar
and twenty.four cents, in addition to the
cost on board ship at our wharves. Before
the cost would have been about as fol-
lows: Original cost, imported, so cents
10 per cent. for contingencies, cents;
profit of importer, 8 cents profit OF job.

Society met and was called to Or
der by President Ewing.
The minutes OF the last preced-
ing meeting, (June 49,, were read
and approved.
On motion, the rules were sus-
pended to allow Mr.. Young to give
his views on the subject of a change
Of the hour of meeting. He said he
had hoped the time would have
been changed to IL o'clock in the
forenoon. Under the present hour
of meeting, l o'clock, P. NJ, mem-
bers residing in the eastern part OF
the county cannot participate in
the proceedings, as they generally
have to return home by the train
which leaves a little after 2 o'clock.
He thought the action Of the Soci
ETY. at a former meeting, whom Mr..
Stalter's motion for u change OF
hour failed to meet with q second,
even, did not show a very tlatter
ing consideration of the wishes OF
tho eastern members, who feel as
deep an interest in the objects OF
the Society, and have as high re-
gard and affection for the organiza-
ton as any other members. He
hoped the hour of meeting would
be changed to IL o'clock in the
forenoon.
After remarks by several mem.
bers, generally favorable TO trial
at least, of the experiment of an
earlier hour of meeting, Mr.. Wise
man moved that when the present
meeting adjourns it be to the hour
of IL o'clock, A. M this day two
weeks-27th Instant, which wa:
agreed to unanimously.
The subject for discussion-sum
mer fruits-was very briefly con

insisted that the package should
be taken for cash on hand, and for
ten Thousand dollars. The exami-
ner declined. The Treasurer ex.
postulated, but to no avail. The
Treasurer's word nor the certificate
Of the Auditor would satisfy this
hardened wretch, but he actually
tore open the package, and found
it to contain $4,000 in compound
interest notes, due in August of the
present year, making tho contents
of the package $4,000 instead Of
$4,000, thus saving the county two
thousand dollars.
Great excitement followed the
exposure, and everybody wonder
ed why the Auditor thus certified
and people were amazed 10 learn
that the Treasurer evon desired
that the package should be taken
for money, in violation of law.
We have known this Treasurer
for many years, and have always
regarded him as honest, and man
of sterling integrity, He has grown
gray in serving his sfcllow men, and
we cannot refrain from "dropping
silent tear" over the downfall o
one who has always had our re
spect and admiration; and hope
that this circumstance may yet bt
explained to the satisfaction of al
concerned. JUSTICE.
