ADDING By MACHINERY.-A Won
derful machine it must be that Wi.
add columns of figures without men,
tai effort, yet it seems that such a
machine has been invented. We
learn from q late number of the New
York Industrial American, that Mr.
q. Il. Fowler, of that city is the i'm
ventor. With this instrument in
hand, a person may contemplate a
solid column of figures of any length,
embracing every place from tens of
millions to units, with perfect indif-
ference, as the entire mass can he
accurately added up in less time than
it would take to write down three or
four lines of the column, and without
any mental effort whatever. A few
movements of the hand only are re-
quired to give the sum Of almost any
conceivable number of figures, and
when the result has been reached
no anxiety need be felt regarding its
accuracy, as it is utterly impossible
for the amount exhibited to he other
than correct.
It is from the little useful inven-
tions like this that fortunes are made,
and already the right for a few of the
Southern States and for the State OF
New York, which we should suppose
to be the most valuable, is all that
remains to be sold. The machines
are said to cost $500, and some can
be carried in the pocket.

4 C0 AZ 4CA0C88GG.
We have received from the planta-
ton hf Capt. James Campbell, near
Knoxville, Tenn., samples of leaves
OF the ! Dung Hyson tea plant. In
size and general appearance these
leaves resemble those of the peach.
particularly of the Early York SER
rlte, though they are tougher and
gIossier. The Knoxville Press and
Herald says the plants were obtain
ed through the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, in 1858; they
grew well, and have attained size
of from five to eight feet. 1t gives
the following description: 'sIt be-
longs to the class and order 2nOnu-
detfottio potyd7d1.id, and the natural
order telnstrODniaceoe, is composed of
various branches furnished with clip
tical, oblong, or lanceOlate leaves,
serrated toward the extremities, and
of smooth, shining green. 1t is an
evergreen; the flowers appear i'm Oc-
tober, either solitary or two or three
together, at the axis of the leaves,
and from three-fourths of an inch to
one inch ia diameter, consisting of a
green calyx with five or SIX lobes
and corolla, from four to seven
white petals, with numerous sta
mems, yellow anthers, and pistils of
hree-sided STYLE" 1t has been
supposed, hitherto, that there are
two species, but this now seems not
the case, and it is declared that the
different kinds of tea are derived
from the same plant at different sta
ges of growth, and from a difference
in manufacture. For instance, the
finest green teas are produced from
the ysung, tender leaves. This is
not matter of speculation, but of
actual experiment on the plantation
above named and those who have
fancied that black tea had superior
qualities must now see their mistake.
Indeed, this might have been sls-
pected from its inferior price.
From the experiments made i'm
Tennessee, it seems that the eastern
part of that State is well fitted for
the growth of this plant. There can
be no doubt that parts of other
Southern States, as we'll as large see
tions west Of Arkansas, will be ound
equally favorable There is on part
OF this subject not at once obvious,
which, upon reflection, must be seen
of no secondary Importance this is
the obtaining of superior quality
Reasonably, one may conclude that
the greater part of the tea sent us,
and which has been supposed good
is made inferior by adulteration or
other manipulation. 1t has been
said, it is true; that the long sea voy-
aye impaira the flavor of tea, and
that when the Russians bring it
overland its fine qualities are pre-
served but if We grant to the Chi
nese only common civilization, and
leave out of the question their alleg
ed superiority, we should be doing
them injustice not to suppose them
~ competent to adulterate tea as are
we to adulterate the whisky which
We provide for our Indians and poll
ticians. The question then, of
growing tea in such parts of our
country as shall be found suited ia
it, that we may be supplied with
fine qualities, has an aspect entirely
distinct from any of a financial or
economic character, great as these
undoubtedly are. In this view alone
the enterprise is worthy of serious
consideration.-[N. Y. Tribune.

4 TOUCHING STORY The Hon.
a. III. Stephens, of Georgia, in
recent address, at a meeting at Alex
andria, for the benefit of the Orphan
Asyium and Free School of that
city, related the following anecdote :
IA poor little boy on a cold night,
with no home or roof To shelter his
head, no parental or maternal guar
dian or guide to protect or direct
him on his way, reached at night
fall the home of wealthy planter,
who took him in, fed and lodged him,
sent him on his way with his blessing.
These kind attentions cheered his
heart and inspired him with fresh cou-
rage tobattle withthe obstacles of life.
Years rolled round Providence led
him on, and he reached the legal
profession E; his host had died the
rOrmorants that prey on the sub
stance ofman had formed aconspiracy
10 get from the widow her estates.
she sent for the nearest counsel to
commit her cause to him, and that
counsel proved to be the orphan boy
long befor Welcomed and enterUi,ii H.
t.d by her deceased husband, The
stimulus of warm and. tenacious
gratitude was now added To the 6rdi-
nary motive connected with the pro-
fas-ion He undertook her cause
with Il viii not easy To he resisted
Ee gained it the widow = eSfate-
we're secured to her perpetuity, and
Mr. Stephens added, With an EN-
tha@iS of emotiont hat sent an eleetri,

How Much may Hang on the Nose
of a Handsome Woman
from Harper's Bazaar |

| A man comes to Paris-Or Wash
ington, if you please-with his wife,
| to solicit place for himself under
Government. He is timid and awk-
ward she is neither deficient i'm
grace nor self-assuranee.
"Let me manage this affair." saws
she to her husband, "for if You inter
fere we shall miss it."
| "But-but-my dear, they say the
Secretary is a great admirer ofthe
sex and you are so handsome ~
"What does he care for my beau
ty?"
'Care for it or not, you are calcu-
lating somewhat on its effects upon
him for your success.
81 hardly gave it "a thought. am
counting on our claims and your tai
ents.n
II am willing for you To go to the
Secretary, but you must have your
charms at home"
"How is that possible ,"
"Leave it to me-
"Well ?u
"Just let me daub the tip of your
nose with little red paint each time
that you make visit"
We have the authority Of the rela-
ter Of this incident for the statement
that the woman positively refused.
He adds moreover, that tlie most
virtuous and constant wife living
would never have consented thus to
defaee her beauty.
Women set high value upon
good looks, and We hold that they
are right, though our admiration Of
pretty face may not equal that of
Madame de PomPadouT, who
thought that the greatness of God is
more visible in it than in the genils
of Newton A woman's grace and
beauty more than compensate her,
for all her inferiority in strength to
man. History shows that she has a
power in her genLleress which even
the mightiest conauerors have not
been able to resist. Pascal says !:
eff the nose of Cleopatra had Aeen
shorter, the whole face of the earth
would have Leen different" He
means that if the Queen Of Egypt
had not been beautiful she would not
| have subjectedCasar by her charms,
and thus ioosened his grasp of the
world
/ 1t is nos only natural for woman to
value beauty, but proper for them to
cultivate it. 1t is "A ray of divinity
thrown for a brief time ulon this
world that ii may tighten its dull
| ness tt should he esteemed accord
ingiy.

bride on wedding tour through

that there was no peace in the fami-

happy couple had a serious talk,
winch ended in producing the mar

after followed her. He fought his
supposed rival, attempted To kill
him, and was lodged in the station

-d him by representing herself To be
a Methodist, when in point of fact
she Is Catholic. She, on the other
hand, asserts that he is crazy on the
subject of religion, and gets up
about Il dozen times in the night TO
pray, which SO interfered with her
sleeping arrangements that she got
