tion of the income tax and the special taxes
which fall due May /, and which will augment
the receipts to $3.50, 900, and possibly to
$16O 1000.
1T is said that when the character OF Mr.
ChandIer's speech was explained to Mr.. Thorn
ton, the British Minister, he laughed scornfu,-
ly and exclaimed, "Pshaw very good speech
to tickle Yankee Doodle's vanity, but nothing
more it It. VoI ct prgtered mttn. America
can't afford to go to war with us, you know,
and we shan't be frightened by threats Of that
kind" He is also credited with the remark
that the Chandler speech will be God-send to
the Tory party ut home, as they will be sure
to construei it as menace: which the party in
power will be called upon to resent, or else
bear the odium of submitting to it. In any
event, it will answer to inflame the popular
feeling, and put the day Of settlement farther
away than ever ."

"REMINISCENCES OF FELIX MENDELssoHN BAR
THoLDY. A Social and Artistic Biography.
BY Elise Poke. Translated by Lady WAL
lace. With additional letters addressed to
English correspondents. New York Leypoldt
Holt 1869. Charleston John Russell.
This is an artistic biography only so far as
it narrates the manner in which the musical
works Of Mendelssohn were composed and
produced, no attempt being made to give tech
nical analyses of his compositions or to trace
in hard lines the plan Of his professional life
His varied compositions are treated as being
part OF the man, not as ON accident or an ex-
crescence, developing the idea that they who
know not his music know not Mendelssohn
and that to those who know not Mendelssohn
his music is unknown. The story is one Of
touching affection, earnest friendship and de-
voted love, with strains Of the masters melo-
dy running through the whole, to form tho
simple, enthusiastic and large-hearted man
whom the world knows as Mendelssohn. No
one can read this book without knowing bet
ter, and admiring more, the author of st. Paul
and Elijah, the Songs Without Words, and the
fairy music OF Midsummer Nights Dream; and
the heart would be cold. indeed, that could
blame IN enthusiasm which becomes some.
what monotonous in bestowipg praise 80
honorably won.
The translation is a good one, although the
womanly italio is not sparingly used, and the
book is we'll bound and clearly printed on
tinted paper. #i ..

New Channels of Trade.


The New York spring trade has not been
nearly as active as it was expected to be-,
and tho commercial press of that city are
endeavoringito figure out the exact cause
Of the disappointment. The Southern trade
was less than was expected, while the West
| is so crippled by the shrinkage in grain
| and the failure to realize upon the bulk of
last seasons crop, that the traders Of that
section have been unable to meet their OBJ
legations with the usual promptitude- But
there is another solution Of the matter
that the New Workers. seem to admit with
some reluctance, since it fcreshadows per-
manent loss Of trade to their city. This is
explained by Washington paper to be the
successful effort Of the Western jobbers to-
establish q direct trade with foreign coun-
tries. ], The result of this movement lis be,
coming more apparent each season. AS the
trade Of the interior centres increases, the
merchants Of the principal distributive
markets find it profitable to import for
themselves, and it is simply question of
time as to when the great cities of the West,
now demanding to be made ports of entry,
will distribute most of their imported goods
from their own centres, instead Of: paying
tribute to the seaport markets and the nu-
merous railroads. Many kinds Of. West
India, South American and European pro-
ductions, which were lately drawn from
New York, now seek their destination via
the Southern ports. The opening of the.
Pacific Railroad must tend to revolutionize
the Asiatic trade, causing the goods Of
China and India to reach the Western cities
via San Francisco instead Of New York
To these movements must be-, added the
growth Of manufacturesyin the interior,
and the increasing competition offered by
all the old centres of commerce on the Al
lantic coast. Portland and Boston vie with
New York for the trade Of Canada and the
Northwest. Philadelphia and Baltimore
contend with her for the trade Of the West
and Southwest. Charleston and Norfolk
will be formidable competitors, as their
direct steamship lines become more nume-
rous and their railroad connections with the
West and Southwest are completed. .n u,
New York will doubtless always continue
to be the leading city of the Atlantic coast; /;
but will hardly. be able to maintain the
'overshadowing supremacy of the past. y

The Cup which Cheers.

The New York Tribune has found out
that the, climate and soil Of the South are
admirably adapted to, the culture Of the tea
plant; and the New York Shipping and
Commercial List says: t# att
.'Samples Of the leaves Of the Young
"Hyson Tea plant have been receivad from
t'the plantation Of Captain Campbell, Knox
"ville, Tenn. The plants were obtained
tthrough the Agricultural Department at
washington, in 1858, grew we'll, and have
t'attained size Of from six to.oeight feet.
"Ffom the experiments made In Tennessee,
"it seems that the eastern part Of that
estate is we'll fitted for. the growth Of this
ssplant." as,iH ;o.u 4 ,sc vi aael,,a<,,J
This is doubtless thought to be q wenderful
discovery; and Mr.. Greeley who, If he may
be believed, understands Southern farming
and planting better than men who have
practiced it all their lives, will be surprised
to learn that tea raising in the South ig no
novelty. "A Mr.. Smith commenced the .oul-
tivation Of tea many years ago near Colum-
bia in this State, and WAS very sucoessfpl,
The example was followed by many others.
Dr. Aoee, Of Talbot County, Co., has been
at the business for many years; and the
plsnt is still grown, though not 70 any great
extent. a, a.i.s s,G,..Eg i,r1i,l,
The fact is that the tea plant n.sy hs
easily raised anywhere in the South. It is
hardy, vigorous evergreen, bears a. beau
tiful blossom and makes a very handsome
ornament FOR the garden. With little care
and attention any one may have all The
varieties Of tea, for. they. all come from the
same bush, the difference being in the time
OF getting the leaves, and hass better tea
than such .,l aa is ,adnlterated by the Celes-
tials, or the Yankees who import what once
was Q luxury, bat what has become o ne.
cessity to alrnost every family. E We msy be-
for awhileySeoond Chop in politics, but If
we like we can have at once First Chop tea.
