SOUTHERN Tea is spoken of by the
Southern CultirGtor as something
worthy of attention. 1t has tested q
sample raised by Mr.. w. Jones, Of
Liberty Co., Ga, and pronounces it
TO be, III fragrance and flavor, preeis-
ely the same as fine article of black
tea. A gentleman who has resided q.
the South, informs US that the plant
in question is in several States, partic-
ulariy in the western part Of Pennsyl-
valia; that 1t is not the Chinese plant
cha, with which We are familiar, but
another shrub belonging to the same
natural family, and that it has the
exact flavor ot Japan tea, for which it
has frequently been sold, and that the
farmers have infomed him that il
might be made the most profitable crop

Coon ADvIcE.-If the following
suggestions were faithfully lived up to,
there would be far less trouble m the
world: :. He who thinks better of his
neighbors than they deserve cannot
be bad man, for the standard by
which his Judgment is formed is the
goodness Of his ovn heart. 1t is the
base ones who Relieve all men base,
or in other words, like themselves.
Few however, are all evil. Nero did
a good turn to somebody, for when
Rome was rejoicing over his death,
some loving hand covered his grave
with flowers. Public men are seldom
or never fairly judged, at least while
living. However pure they cannot
escape ealumny; however incorrect
they are sure 70 find eulogists.

Among the anecdotes of the poet
Percival in Wards new biography.
is one to the effect that when DR..
Pereival occupied a room in the
State Hospital in New Haven, "a
showy gentleman with some extra
airs who was showing pair of la
dies the sights, called on the ianitor
and asked 10 be shown the distin-
guished mans apartments. Tie
janitor pointed out the way, and
watched the encounter. Percival
answered the knock, and opening
the door, beheld the gentleman with
a lady on each arm. Il am ex-
tremeiy happy aud rejoiced,' said
the intruder ponlpously. $ that have
the honor of addressing the poet
Percival-" Boo" responded the
doctor, instantly shutting the door, and
bolting it. The visitor did not tell
the story, but the janitor did.

PEAT N Mu.w2UEEE-A Milwaukee pa.
Per speaks c; immense pea: beds in the vi
cinisy OF 'La, city. The peat is pronounced
OF better quality than that used in Eng
land for fuel where coal IS abundant. In
eating through rev street, in the upper
part of TIE city, bed OF rich peat was struck
some six feet in depth. Cakes Of this were
cut out by some of the workmen who had
used peat in the old country, stacked up and
dried. Recently they have been used as fuel.
snd have been found to be excellent. giving
out SO strong lea; that they readily took
the place of wood. Many of these workmer
have devoted their spare time, morning and
evening, to getting out peat, and some o.
them now have large stocks Of il built up in
the shape Of hay stacks in their yards.

These same pre6xes may be applied in as

We have in the ascending scale, dccdgram,

the descending scale, decigram, ceatigram,
and maligram.
In this brief space we have the whole me-
tric system Of weights and measures. A boz
at school, it is said, can master the metric
system in m afternoon while months, ifnot
years, are required to store away the per-
plexities, incongruities, and Inconsistencies
Of the existing weights and measures: and
then memory must often fail in reproducing
them. The mystery Of compound arithme-
tic is essential in the calculations which they
require. All this is done away by the deci-
NAL progression, SO that the first four rules
Of arithmetic are ample for the pupil.
1t rests with intelligent people to make the
enactment available, and We hope it may
meet at their hands the candid examination
and fair trial which IT undoubtedly deserves.
We have shown that the system is becoming
SO universal in other countries that even If
for our home intercourse We should choose
to do without it, merchants would have to
learn to use it for its necessity to them in
their dealings with business men Of other ma.
tons.
