Tea Culture i'm America.

The cultivation of tea on
American soil is now begin
ming to attract some attention
throughout the country. The
experiment of growing the
plant was first tried in the Uni
ted States some twenty years
ago by a South Carolina plan
ter, who proved that both soil
and climate were we'll adapted
to it although the difficulty of
procuring skilled labor proven
ted the attainment at that time
OF any important results. We
learn from our exchanges that
the experiment is again being
tried ill the South, and that it
promises to succeed in all res
poets. The Philadelphia Led
ger says that tea is now grown
in the neighborhood Of Knox
vile, Tenn, with but little ex-
pense or trouble, and Of fair
quality. The plant is dascri-
bed as deep evergreen shrub,
growing about five feet high,
hardy, and needing no protec-
ton from frost. Whether the
quality Of the tea grown there
is equal to the imported article
is not yet announced, but. the
fact Of the adaptation Of the
climate and a portion of the
soil of the Southern States to
its production is apparent
The range of the tea plant in
China extends between lati-
tudes "a dogs. 35 dogs. North,
which parallels include most
of the Southern and all of the
Southwestern States. The soil
best adapted to the growth OF
the tea plant is said to be a
light loan, more or less stony,

A gentleman Of New Have

A gentleman of New Haven
ordered a wedding suit, among
which was a white satin vest.
On the bridal evening, as the
clergyman was leaving the
door, the gentleman took from
a pocket Of his vest and slipped
gracefully into the parson' S
hand what he supposed was a
ten dollar note that he had put
into his pocket for the purpose.
The honeymoon had long pass
ed, when the bridegroom had
occasion to don for a party, his
bridal vest; and putting his fin
gers into a pocket, pulled out,
to his great horror, the identi-
cal bank note which he suppos-
ed had months before gladdened
the heart of the curate. Great
was the CONSERVATION Of the
parties !! What could he have
given the parson on that occa-
sion? He ascertained the next
day that he had given him a
strip of satin two or three inch
es long, which the tailor had
left in the pocket of the vest
Explanations and a hearty
laugh followed.

containing vegetable matter
which, while retaining mois-
ture, is at the same time well
drained. This kind OF soil is
found in large sections of the
South and Southwest.
In cultivating tea, the chief
difficulty that has hitherto ex-
listed has been in procuring
suitable labor, but that can be
obviated by employing the
Chinese, SO numerous on the
Pacific slope, many Of whom
have been in their own country
successful tea growers. They are
spreading over sections OF coun-
try where their skill and labor
might.be proitably employed
in q direction so familiar to-
them, In China, tea of an
average quality is sold at from
eight to nine cents a pound
Of course, with our different
scale ofprices for labor we could
not expect to produce it for
anything like so small a sum,
yet when we consider the heavy
expenses of packing, export and
import duties, and Transporter
ton, i'll addition to the profits
accruing to each one through
whose hands the tea must pass,
making its selling price many
times the original cost in
China, it would be an advan-
tage to get our supply Of tea
from our own country. The
cultivation Of the plant is re-
garded as a less troulesomeb
matter than the manipulating
processes to which the leaves
are subjected after gathering.
Three crops are gathered in a
single season. The drying,
rolling and curling processes,
it is supposed, can only be sue
cessfully accomplished by the
trained Chinaman, but it would
not be long before machinery
would be made to perform
large part of the labor, which
in China is entirely done by
hand. Machinery for drying
and curling the leaves of the
plant has been successfully
operated in Philadelphia
The manufacture OF silk by the
Chinese emigrants in Calitor-
MIA has already commenced,
and their introduction Of sue
cessful tea culture in America
may repay the country for CIV
ing them a home.

last thanks.
After these words she again
embraced the bleeding heart,
while her tears and signs of an
guish almost overwhelmed her.
Her attendants, touched with
pity, mingled their tears with
hers, and in vain implored her
to tell them the cause of her
| grief.
Absorbed in her great sor-
row, she saw nothing hut the
livid relic of her lost love.
Heart cried she, that has
made me SO happy-source OF
all my joy behold thee re-
lieved of all the miseries which
invest this life. Thy destiny
here is at an end. Thy love
was buried in my heart; but
even thine enemy believed a
richer tomb. Alas! there is
nothing but my tears thou
couldst desire.
Ooh, most unmerciful father.
| had resolved to die fearless
and unmoved> but 1 cannot re-
sist the emotions of tenderness,
with which the sight of this
heart inspires me. Yes, l give
my tears to this heart which
the good God has sent as a
messenger to tell the throbbings
of my own. Beloved heart, re-
ceive the homage / owe thee,
and believe l will soon reioin
the soul | have so worshiped
here
4 convulsion of grief over
came the Princess;and her tears
rained into the cup which she
held pressed to her bosom.
Rousing herself suddenly,
Sigismonda took the flask of
poison she had prepared, pour
ed its contents into the golden
cup, and raising it to her lips
she swallowed the draught to
the last drop without a shud-
der.
Still clasping the precious
vase to her heart, she arose
and threw herself upon her
couch. Her attendants, stupi-
fed with wonder with what
they saw; and ignorant of the
cause of what SO effected the
Princess, ran to acquaint Tan
cred with what was passing.
Knowing that he was the cause
OF this misfortune, he rushed to
his daughters apartment,
struck with remorse and repen-
lance, only to find her in the
agonies Of dissolution. Sigis-
monda, conscious, though life
was almost instinct, in a faint
voice said: Weep not, my faith
er. Give me not useless tears
when | am beyond hope; but if
there remains a shadow Of the
affection yon once had for me,
grant that | be entombed with
Guichard.
With trembling eyeljds she
looked an adieu to her atten-
dants, and with one last effort
she reversed the cup upon her
lips and thus expired.
Such was the unhappy end
Of Guichard and the Princess
Sigismonda, victims Of a faith
er's pride. Never was there
greater afdiction than befel Tan
cred. By his orders the two
bodies he had doomed to death
We're inferred with great pomp,
in the same tomb; but the pres
tige ofhis good name was gone,
for when the tragedy became
known, the Salernians named
him 'Tancred the cruel.

We have to record to-day another melan-
choly case Of railroad disaster and consequent
loss Of iife--the horror Of death by Ere being
in this instance superadded to the ordinary
fatal result of collision. About midnight on
wednesday, or early yesterday morning an
express train on the Erie road bound west
from New York collided with freight train
OF the same line going in the same direction at
Mast Hope, near Port Jervis There were
nine cars in the express train. Some of them
caught fire. Seven persons were burned
to death, including well known clergy
man from New York and emigrants seek
ing new homes Immediately. Some six
or seven others are supposed to have
perished, and number OF others
dangerously wounded. As in all similar
cases, the question how did it occur comes
up. The immediate blame appears to attach
to the freight train, which, as the report
states, was drawn out of SWITCH with its
engineer sleeping, under the supposition that
the express train had passed The mails and
all the express matter were destroyed by fire.
We have not heard of anything 50 lamentabIe
as this in the way OF slaughter by the rail since
the moment when the country was alarmed nv
the news of the Angola disaster and another
accident on the Erie road, many lives being
sacrificed by collision and fame in each
instance. Is there remedy? We have had
ignorant switchmen and boiler explosions, and
open and rotten drawbridges and bridges
already Are we coming now to sleeping
engineers and the burning of ''splntered"
carsl
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1869-07-16

The critical situation in France still con
tinues. M. ROuher, the most eloquent Of
modern French statesmen and the ablest de-
fender of Imperialism has been forced by the
action Of the opposition to retire from the
Ministry. The Emperor yields as gracefully
as he can under the circumstances. He knows
that personal irresponsible government is
henceforth at an end. Hitherto Napoleon
has governed France, but France has made up
its mind to govern Napoleon. Another comp
d6tat would be useless and even fatal, and
need not be apprehended. The Marquis de la
Vaiette, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been
appointed Ambassador to the Court Of ST.
James, and other Cabinet changes have been
announced, but the Ministry is yet incomplete.
The scene that took place when the propagation
of the Corps Legislatif was announced shows
the spirit that animates the opposition. Up
rose M. Jules Favre, and, amid a perfect
storm of cheers from the left, protested against
the suspension Of the sittings of the Assembly,
as being in contradiction to the Emperor
message. M. Schneider, the President of the
OuumuCt, h0Vuk WAtu ulmCutVY ouCCccutu Ill
restoring order, of course expressed his aston
ishment at the protest just made on the eve of
q great liberal act, pronouncing it not only
contrary to the regulations of the House, but
to the sentiment of the country, aud, amid
murmurs from the opposition, he declared the
session prorogued
If M. Schneider believes that the conduct of
the opposition is condemned by the country
how will he explain the unwilling assent made
by the imperial government to their demands
If backed by the country is it for moment
likely that the government would have
yielded? Now arises another and more i'm
portant question--How will all this end
Were France under less sagacious ruler than
Napoleon ILL., has so often proved himself to
be we should look for re-enactment of the
revolution Of 1913, when Louis Philippe found
his way sncog. to London. But Napoleon is a
man of different stamp. His creed is expe-
diency ''F2ecti, sed non .fr'angr is his motto
He bows his head to the tempest, to rise again
in the first lull of the storm. He has governed
France for the last seventeen years with 80
much prudence and advantage to the pros
perity of the country that we do not see how
any sudden change Of government could prove
other than detrimental. But time will tell
The progress Of the age is towards republican
ism in Great Britain. France and Spain, and
we trust that no steps backward will ever be
taken. The people, by their representative
assemblies, will yet rule as completely in Eu-
rope as here. The opposition is master of the
situation in France. A timely submission on
the part of the Emperor has proved his good
sense and strengthened the system of popular
government throughout Europe
