The physiological psepertiss Of Tea are
triugeut and tonic, and whsa used with
out milk or sugar is . simple remedial
agent in nausea and isdiesstiou; but II
sugar is added it is cosvsstsd into thin
syrup, which is more apt . produce indi-
gcstiou than the cona9zion Of many
times IL, weight dEfsss ohdy, since su.
gar is more digestiblc In the concsatssted
than in the diluted state. 1t is mild
stinulant to the skin and the kidneys, il
prevents slcepnless, counteracts the effects
ofalcohol, and reduces the rate Of waste Of
the tissues, an action supposed to be due
to the theme, or peculiar principle Of the
plant, the quantity Of which is variously
estimated from onc.half Of one to four per
cent, and which closely resembles cafe
inc, or the principle of coffee. 1t is also
an aphrodisiac of considerable power, and
the rapid increase of the population in Chi
ma, is by some, supposed to be due to its
universal use by all classes. In addition
to its other properties, the Chinese regard
it as a preventative Of gout and calculus.
It no doubt has the power Of preventing
the latter; but this action is probably due
to the fact that, ifwatcr is boiled, the great
or part of the carbonate of lime it contains,
and which would enter into the compost
ton Of a calculus, is percipitatcd; there
fore the drinking Of boiled water would be
equally effective in this disease. 1t is also
narcotic aud sedative, like opium; butlike
it, its action varies with the individual and
the dose To some. it is exhilarating to
the nerves and calming to the vascular
system. In the words of Waller,
The MUSES. friend, tea, does our fancy aid
Repress those vapors which the head invade.
To others, on the contrary, it is highly de-
leterious, producing headache, and solnc-
times even causes paralysis and diabetes,
especially when used to access as in tea
tasters.
The time Of day at which tea is taken in
different countries, varies with the custom
of each nation, as docs most every other
human habit. The Chinese drink it at all
times, and keep the pot on tho FIRE 30 that
they may moisten their lips" after the
fashion Of Sairy Camp; others consider in
almost sacrilege 70 take it at any other
hour than in tho evening aud at tea, while
many say with Gray,
At noon, (thc lady's matin hour),
sip teas delicious flower.
At whatever time it may be used there is
no doubt that it acts much more cncrget-
ically if taken on an empty stomach aud
witlout onv other food.-Dr, J. C.. Dyu.

Clock Ticks and the telegraph.

The particulars Of an interesting tele.
graphic experiment are given by the DufFa-
~ Courier as follows:
For the purpose Of arriving at the diff.
ference in mean tune between San Francis.
90 and Boston, the wires Of the Western
Union Telegraph Co., have nightly been
connected for nearly month past from
one side Of the continent to the other; And
<sa ticking Of q chroaomSter in Cam
bridge University has been observed and
recorded in San Francisco with most re-
markablc degree Of accuracy. This is
done by connecting the pendulum Of the
chronomcter at Cambridge with the wire
in such manner that the main circuit is
broken and instantly closed again at every
beat of the timepiece."
"At any time during the evening Of the
past month visitor to the operating rooms
of the Western Union Telegraph Office in
this city might have heard one of the lit
tie instruments beating the measured time
of the sixtieth part Of minute, with the
monotony and regularity Of chronometer
itself. Tick! tick! tick! One, two,
three, four, five minutes elapse, aud then
the little monitor ceases. Back comes the
answer from San Francisco to Boston 'All
right; your second signals came and have
been recorded for five minutes. Go ahead
five minutes more!' Again, tick! tick /!
tick for five minutes, and then San Fran
cisco says again: 'All right. Are you
ready to take my signals?' And the an
swor from Boston is: 'Yes, 60 ahead =
Tick tick tick says San Francisco for
the allotted five minutes, and Boston says
in his turn, 'All right ,"
But Notwithstanding the speed with
which these pulsations Of clock Ay from
one side of our continent to the other, it
is known there is loss of time in the
transaction. How to arrive at this loss
and measure it, ia the next question.
Nothing easier a second wire is switched
into place, a repeater added at Boston,
and. presto It's changed. Now the clock
ticks made at San Francisco rush on the
wings of light over the three thousand
miles Of wire to Boston, and back again to
San Francisco over the second wire, and
record themselves at the place Of starting
in something less than sixty seconds Of
time, having in the interval tr crscd six
thousand miles Last night February
2Sth). witnessed the successful completion
of this last experiment, and the fight Of
electricity was actually measured, so to
speak, as easily as one measures a yard Of
muslin.
Never before in the worlds history
has such a wonderful feat been attempted,
and that this has been brought to sue
cessful conclusion is due entirely to the
beautiful working of the Union Company's
wires, together with the assiduous attention
aud superior ability of its employees.
Trace the route on the map, and mark tho
immense distances SO lightly glidcd over
by the subtle fluid.
"Thc route is from Boston, through
Albany, Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, Omaha,
Cheyenne, Salt Lake City, and Virginia
City to San Francisco, and this route is, Of
course, doubled, forming for all practical
purposes but single circuit.

Home, Sweet Home"

When Charles kemble become manager
Of Covcnt Garden, he purchased batch Of
John Howard Payne's manuscripts for the
gross sum oftwo hundred and thirty pounds
and play was fished out from the mess,
changed by Payne into an opera, and pro-
duccd as "Clari, the Maid Of Milan" "
Miss Treo, the elder sister of Mrs. Charles
Kcan, was in the first cast, and sang
'Homc, Sweet Home" one Of the "gcms'

A Candid Acknowledgement

Senator Sprague, a Republican Senator
from Rhode Island, aud who was amosg
the first engaged in the war, ~ he then
undoubtly thought, for the Union, in his
recent speech in tho Senate said:
II, for one, in looking back upon the
past history Of this country-and the peo,:,
pie, whatever philosophers may say, will
come to the same conclusion-have come
to believe that your war has not been won
for the liberties Of any GLASS Of people;
that your war that you have just partially
concluded has no high virtuous principle
at the bottom Of it. 1t has had simple con.
tontions for power, for place and for oc-
cupation commencing here in this body;
and permeating throughout the country.
"Sir, all have studied the results Of the
inquisition, commencing with the fourth
century and ending in this. Obnoxioss
and cruel as the result Of that action sag-
gests itself to every mans mind, DO not
believe that its action caused more anxiety,
more trouble, more terror than the acts Of
Congress applied to the people during the
war, both North aud South, and since the
was has ended; for if there was . tyranny
ever exercised, either By one man or BY
set Of men, aiming at = given purpose, that
tyranny was exhibited over the people Of
this country, South aud North, in the ex.
actions made upon them while the var ~
pressing, and since then in the adjustment
Of their material interests. The troublos,
the anxieties, and the uncertainties which
have operated upon the minds Of businsss
men and their families have been unknown
in the history Of any other nation that has'
ever existed" .et

A Legislative Joke.

The cession Of Chicago to Indiana, was
not the only humorous proceeding on the
part of the Illinois Legislature one recent
Friday when there was no quorum. The
grave members evidently have keen ap-
probation of jest, for they satirized the
woman suffrage movement by passing a
bill, the first section Of which vests all po-
litical, civil, and social power in the State
