The TEA, THAT Comes 70 THE
UNITED STATEs.-We were in tea
house at Canton drinking such superhne
tea as we never tasted in the United
STATES. We noticed that large jars were
placed under each table, into which all
the grounds were tossed. Chinese, do
not, as already stated, steep their tea In
a pot, but put it into your cup, pour in
hot water, covering the cup to Keep in
the steam, allowing it to stand tlt' about
FIVE minutes, drainingit off and refillipg.
The second cup is considered the best,
and. the third filing is very good. But
when the strength is exhausted, the
grounds are thrown into the jars, taken
out doors, spread on cloths, dried, doc
tored, repacked, and sent over TO ~ Us !
The average cost Of tea in china is from fro
fifteen to twenty cents per pound, but
duties, fleights, insurance, interest on
capital, profits to importers and middle
men, swell it to prices which make it
an article of luxury. More poor tea is
drunk in the United States than in any
other land.-Carleton's Letter.

A SAD RoMANcE-THE WIFE OF A
DAY-LovE IN DEATH.-Some three
years ago, young German, whose fam
lily had immigrated to this country, came
East from San Francisco to pursue his
studies for the Presbyterian ministry at
Princeton College. His health was fee
BILE, and it was thought best for him to
spend his vacation as much in the open
air as possible. He accordingly hired
himself to farmer in Bucks County,
Pa, and spent the summer in outdoor
occupation of a light character.
A few weeks ago, when the Pacific
Railroad had just been completed, and
the publ, were still talking of the last
spike with the golden head, a young lady
purchased in Philadelphia ono of the
very first through tickets for San Fan
cisco. She was the fair daughter Of a
Quaker farmer, who lived near where
the young German student had been en-
ployed during his vocation. They had
met, loved, and were engaged to be mar
ried. But his health had grown worse,
and his family had sent for him to come
back from California. Letters from him to
the Bucks County rm-house told only
of still further decline. The young girl
pined under her trouble. At last, one
Saturday, came telegram, asking her
to come to him at once. Her betrothad
was sinking fast. On Tuesday she was
on her way. The road ofirou that spans
the continent was safely traversed, and
she reached San Francisco.
The rest of the story is briefly told.
The newspapers of Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA, month ago, announced, under the
head of"AIarried," the wedding in San
Francisco, June Oath, Of gentleman of
that city to a lady of Bucks County, Pa,
Following it, under the head of"Dicd,"
June 25th, was the name of the hus-
band. The wedding had been by
death-bed. The Quaker girl was the
bride Of day.

The STAMP ACT NowHERE.--The
famous Stamp Act, upon which the war
of the American Revolution was fought
and won by the fathers of free con-
stitutional government, will mol bear
comparison with the present American
system of taxation. This is very point
edly demonstrated in the announcement
of the Revenue Commissioner that base
ball clubs are liable to taxation, and are
required to take out license. Next,
we suppose, we may expect a similar
ukase against little boys with their mar
bles and tops, and the little girls with
their doll-babics and jumping ropes
Truly, radical economy is great thing
in small way, and requires fine drawn
talent to understand and apply it, SO
that it may have its perfect work Of op-
preston.

TRUE ENoUGn.-The New York
Times says that the late war changed
in some degree the theory of the Govern
ment." Well, it did, adds the Rich
mond Dispatch. 1t transformed free
government into dcspotic one. ltcon-
yerted States into Counties. 1t abolish
ed the written Constitution by ouI ia
theirs, and for it substituted an unwitten
one-that is to say, the will of the ma
iority in Congress. 1t deprived the
States of every right they had, and there.
by deprived the citizens of personal
right. We mean, of course, that these
rights are how held by sufferance, the
National Government having power to
take away whenever it shall feel SO IN
clined whereas, before the war these
rights were considered so sacred that no
man would have dared to lay rude hands
upon them.

REVELATIONS.
The following extract from a private
letter, which we have received from q
responsible source, throws some light u,
pom the proceedings and reputation of our
Honorable representative while in Flor
ida:
"At the time of the evacuation Of the
little Town of Jacksonville, Florida, by
the Confederate forces and its citizens,
in the latter part of 1861 or the early
part of 1862, Iaoas there, having baen
sent from Virginia (by special appli-
cation made by Governor Milton to Pre-
sident Davis) to dill some of the Flori-
da State troops. I was the officer who
conveyed the order from General Ira
pier (then commanding that depart
ment) to Major Charles Hopkins (com-
mapding Hopkins Battlion) to proceed
at once to Jacksonville, for his battalion
was then at Baldwin, and burn the saw
mills in and around the place, together
with the foundry and any other build
ipgs that might prove scrviceable to the
enemy, but 'tspare and protect as far as
possible ali private dwellings and pro-
perty except such as was specially spec
fled in the order" The enemy's gun
boat had, believed at the time of the
burning, the very night crossed the St.
Johns bar, aad were cautiously feeling
their way up thr river. The saw mills
and foundry, as was ordered, were soon
consigned to the flames, as was also the
large hotel, (the Judson House,) and
several stores-the stores and hotel, how
ever, not by hands of Hopkins Battat
ION. Mr.. Bowen was one of the perpe-
traitors of this outrage, and I will here
state, on the word and honor of man,
"that Oh the night of the fire in Jack
sonville, I sau him, one of prime movers
and iustigators in the "gatti"g' of G. L.
Robinsou's store. l there saw him move
and assist in moving blankets and sheets
filled with goods and merchandise stolen
from said store, and knowing, too, that
Mr.. Robinson was "good Union man"
so-called and mark me, at this time this
"HonoraJle" gentleman, G. c. Bowen,
did not belong nor was he in any 'eise
connected with any organized Confeder-
ate force, but came to Jacksonville, upon
this occasion, solely for the purpose of
pillage and plunder, and the goods he
stole, for he did steal them, he appro-
priated to himself. He was at that time
known in Jacksonville and around the
eastern part of Florida as a low, mean,
contemplate 'oue-horse gambler one
who would lie or steal when it suited
him to do so. He was at or about this
time, I think, associated with man by
the name of Woodward, also gambler,
but by far a more decent man than
Bowen Woodward, since the war,
has been imprisoned on charges made
against by G. L. Robinson for acts said
to have been committed on that same
night. Woodward is not. the man who
should have been confined. Mr.. Bowen
is the gentleman. I have given you
this little of his history, SO that he may
know that the world knows him. am

WHAT CAN BE DONE IN SOUTH
CARoL1NA.-The Columbia Ph@ntr,
says:
eve paid a visit, on Wednesday, to
the model farm of Mr.. James NJ. Craw-
ford, in Cotton Town, near Columbia,
and inspected his cotton ficld-which,
in size and quantity of the bolls, far
exceeds anything We have ever seen or
heard of-the famous Georgia brag
acre, Of which we published an account,
a day or two ago, not excepted. An
old and experienced Mississippi cotton
planter made an examination and cal
culation of the crop on one acre as it
stands in the feld-the "brag" lot
with the following result: He counted
three stalks, taken indiscriminately from
this patch, which averaged 800 bolls
to the stalk, 81 rows to the acre; 70
stalks to the row; allowing 100 bolls to
the pound, shows 1O,92O pounds to the
acre-provided, of course, that it ma.
lures. Some of the stalks had over 500
bolls. Mr.. Crawford has another most
excellent lot of four acres, the smallest
stalk counted in it containing SO bolls;
another l56, and still another 35S-an
average of 200 bolls to the stalk. The
entire crop was grown from the we'll
known Dixon seed. Doubters can ex-
anime this cotton at any time. The
ordinary stable manure was principally
used, and the soil is far from being the
best in this vicinity. Thorough tillage
did the business. Mr.. Crawford de-
clares that q man who cannot make
good crops in Richland, had better lay
aside agricultural implements.

day.
When you want stamp on your let
ter, tell the postmaster to put it on If
he don't like it, lick him. In case you
put on the stamp yourself, soak it in
your mouth long enough to remove the
mueilage; it will then stick till it is
dry.
Be sure to ask the postmaster to cred
ityou for stamps; if he has any accom-
dation lie will do it.
IF you have boz, stand and drum

Not long ago, friend handed us, for
perusal, neat, morocco.covered pam
phlet of eighty pages,-an American
editor of an English work cntitle "The
Stars and the Earth, ,"-containing some
old and somewhat familiar astronomical
truths, very beautifully and POLITICALLY
told, and made to illustrate very interest
ingly and POLITICALLY some ofthe grandest
ideas.
1t is we'll known, demonstrable fact
that light travels about two hundred
thousand miles per second; that it re-
quires about three years for the light
from a star of the first magnitude to
reach us, about one hundred and eighty
years from a star of the seventh and
about four thousand years from star OF
the twelfth.
The converse of this is equally true.
The light, therefore, reflected from the
earth which strikes the eye of an obser-
YER on a star of the third magnitude,
would show at this time, the condition
of things terrestrial about first year of
Johnson's administration. A dweler
on a star of the seventh magnitude
would look upon US as we were during
King, Williams war;" while an inhabi-
tant of a twelfth magnitude star would
behold the earth as it was four thousand
years ago, and, perhaps, witness the
confusi n of tongues at the tower Of Ba-
bel.
Imagine, now, being Of unlimited
power of vision and comprehension, and
susceptible of being transported in an
iucouceivably short space of time, from
earth to a star of the twelfth magnitude
and you spread before him panorama
of the worlds history for four thousand
years. - ~
We can readily understand, therefore,
how it is that, TO an infinite being. whose
omniscient eye looks forth, at the same
instant, from all the planets and stars,
all the doings of the ages past are ever
present, and GA thousand years are as
one day."
We present another homely condcnsa-
ton of beautiful thought, and leave
the work to delight our readers to a
greater extent,
Could we, for once, be gifted with the
power oflocomotion with as great rapid
ity as light moves, and start upon our
journey at the instant butterfly passes
us so swiftly that we can hardly distin-
guish its colors, we might, then, at our
leisure, count the grains of colored dust
upon its tiny wings; or, if our journey
began at the moment flower bud be-
gan to unfold, or flash Of lightning
cleaned across the sky, We might devote
unlimited time to an examination of the
phenomena. L. D. B.-Rural New
Yorker.

Spain. Another Republican demonstra-

late advices, and the Carlists seemed to

EXCITEMENT AND SHORT LIFE
The following, by an unknown writer,
accords with our observation: "The
deadliest foe to mans longevity is an un.
natural and unreasonable excitement.
Every man is born with certain stock
of vitality which cannot be increased,
but which may be husbanded or ex-
pended as rapidly as he deems best
Within certain limits, he has choice,
to live fast or slow, to live abstemiously
or intensely, to draw his little amount
of life over large space or condense it
into narrow one but when his stock
is exhausted, he has no more. He who
lives abstemiously, who avoid all stimu-
lants, takes light exercise, never over
tasks himself, INDUCES no exhausting
passions, feeds his mind and heart on
no exciting material, has no odepliltatlnS
pleasures, lets nothing rufle his temper,
keeps his account with God and man
squared up is sure, barring accidents,
to spin out his life to the longest limit
which it is possible to attain while he
who lives intensely, who feeds on high
seas ,ncd food, weather material or men
tai, fatigues his body or brain by hard
labor, exposes himself to infammatory
disease, seeks continual excitement,
gives lJose reign to his passion, frets at
every trouble and enjoys little repose,
is burning the candle at both ends, and
is sure to shorten his day."
