, somenling for Tea DrinI6 crsi. Z Z

We frequently arise from a perusal of
medical journals in utter astonishment
that we are yet above ground But
lately we shuddered over an account Of
what we had been drinking for many
years under the sound belief that it was
wine. We now read in publication
which bears the ominous name of The
Doctor, the following account of our
favorite beverage, tea: Leaving out Of
consideration that wretched stuff, dust,
which the poor are compelled to pur-
chase, and also the low-priced teas, we
find that high price offers no guaranty
for the worth of the legitimate article.
Independent Of the several botanical
adulterations, including used up and re-
dried leaves, it is indeed surprising TO
note the quantity Of fine dust-not even
tea-dust-but apparently floor sweepings
(to which finely powdered oxidized iron
sweepings have been added, with which
the higher priced teas are mixed" II
is sincerely to be hoped that these reyc-
lations serve some more useful purpose
than to add mental anguish TO the physi-
cal pangs Of the grocers victims, be-
cause otherwise there is an old saying
in point as to ignorance being bliss.

The InI,umnnity of Red Tnpe.

| ..' e
The London Liberal Christian has the
following story from a gentlemen who
witnessed the circumstance: ks,iNa
The thermometer stands for days at
from 1902 to ll70 in the Red sea, and
when the vessel is with the wind, and
travelling at about the speed of the air,
the lack. Of any breeze or ventilation
makes life on the steamer almost insup-
portable q On this occasion four men
and two women among the passengers
were so overcome with the heat that the
ships doctor reported that they must
die If the ship course were not changed
and breeze created bytraveling against
the wind. The captain very reluctantly,
and in dire fear Of hisconipany sorders,
yielded to the cry Of humanity, and
steamed one hundred miles back on his
course He thus reduced the oppressive
temperature twenty degrees, ventilated
his ship, and saved the lives probably
of six passengers. The government
fined the company. (who excused the
captain, although not without warning
not to do it again), thousand pounds
for going out Of the prescribed route
with Her MajestY's mails. ..li. 10.

IMMIGRATION.

Col. w. f. Gray, travelling agent OF
the American and European Railway
and Steamship Passenger Service, has
written to Maj. Green, Superintendent
Of the Railroad, that he designs visiting
Monroe with the view of organizing All
Immigrant Association, to settle up this
fertile and beautiful section OF country
Col. Gray, it appears, desires to see our
people stirred up in reference to this
enterprise, and he AYERS he can send
IL, 600 immigrants into our midst. An
editorial notice of Col. Gray, from the
Fairfield (Iowa) Democrat, is before us,
in which the editor mentions Col. Gray
as "the well-known emigration, rail-
way and steamship agent' who has
travelled all over this country, the
greater part of Europe and portions of
Asia, and as u person we'll cultivated
to forward the interests of Immigration
We would suggest to our citizens to
confer freely with Col. Gray upon his
arrival, and to give to his enterprise all
the encouragement they can safely be-
stow upon matter of 80 much impor-

But it is useless to. occupy time and
space by such biographical sketches. 1
could a "t;,le unfold" about nine-tcnths
of these Republican officials that in any
other country would ostracise them
from respectable society and deny them
the recognition of honest men.
But l have been depressing, and I
must return and explain
THE OBJECT OF THE DINNER.
As remarked at first the entertain
ment was prepared in order to harmon
ize the little differences that had their
origin in the removal Of Carr and the
election of Carter as Speaker of the
House. The revolution threatened to
spread to the Senate, and but for this
timely check there is no telling how far
it would have eNtended. After Il sump-
tuous repast and liberal potations, the
brethren began to confess their sins and
relate their experiences. Mutual OK
plantations soon followed, and after !,
general embrace the Glove felst'' ended
with a benediction from Parson Carter,
and a song and dance by the funny man
of the party, Gen. Sheridan.

Dom Piatt writes from Washington,
crence to Ben Buffers miscarriage in
the matter of political amnesty:
w" had Al high old fly around in the
House, day before yesterday, on this
interesting subject. The bill introduced
by Ben Butler was violently opposed
by Ben Butler. There is nothing fixed
about Ben but his off eye, and that is
fixes. on the Presidency. You may
judge of Ben's strabismus when you
take into consideration his devious
ways, the said eye fixed on said object
all the time. He introduced a bill
granting political amnesty to the late
rebels i'll the South, and he got his bill
so amended that he found himself I'M
der the painful necessity Of opposing its
passage. Although he SO framed it as
to be open to the title of amnesty in
certain cases, there was only one case
where amnesty under it was practi-
cable, and that was the case of Benja-
min himself. He proposed taking out
Of the courts in certain cases in which
he is interested, either as principal on
attorney, where the decision will prob
ably be adverse to his pecuniary inter
est. He proposed, also, to remove from
the criminal tribunals the danger that
he lies under Of being prosecuted for
misconduct in the South. This was all
amended out of the bill by an obtuse
House, IL beastly cruel House, that
could neither see nor feel for Benjamin,
and the whole thing narrowed down to
precisely what he did not want, and
that was, political amnesty to the
offenders i'll our late 'Eonpleasantness."
So Benjamin fought his own bill with
great vigor, but he fought in vain. The
House would not help Ben, and it was
bent upon granting political amnesty
TO tn" South.

Fair Warning.

In II few instances, but very few,
we have recently detected persons in
attempts to swindlc us out of our just
dues. We do not propose to apply
to the courts for Il remedy in such
cases. But the names of these indi-
vidtlals, and all who may serve us in
Il similar dishonest manner, with their
places of residence, avocatiOn and full
descriptive list, shall be blazoned to the
public in these columns and there kept
prominently before the public until we
are satisfied. We are always willing to
indulge an honest debtor, and have
every year stinted our business in that
way, but men must not take advantage
Of this indulgence to dcfraud us.

GROWTH AND PROSPECTS OF MONROE

As am illustration of the growth Of
Monroe, La 1t Is stated that the Cal
derwood property, purchased by the
late James Hart, ESD, in 1865, for $780,
0OOf realized to Harris sut,cession, in
ls7dsa the round Sum. of Sol ,0N.-'S.
Louis Times.
And we may illustrate the growth of
Monroe still further, by stating that in
less than twelve months, if only the
present calculations of individuals are
carried out, there will be improvements
ON the property above referred to, worth
$lOO, 600, if not more. A gentleman in
this Office yesterday, who had not WIS.,
tied our place for two years, said, that
although he had heard Of its progress,
he had no idea it had improved so
much, and he was particularly struck
with the order. and neatness shown
about the residences and buildings.
There is this about Monroe, of which
few Southern towns can boast Every
dollar invested In real estate, at Il fair
price, is IL dollar invested with Il GER
tainty OF being returned with good in
| terest. There is solid, permanent
foundation to build upon. In whatever
respect it may be viewed, whether as
to health, fertility of adjacent lands,
it's position geographically and with
respect to any practicable railroad sys-
tenn, its eligibility for manufacturing
purposes, or any other feature calcu-
lated to insure Il rapid growth, Monroe
has superior merits. In Il district OF
country with II radius of 100 miles in
every direction, except eastward, there
| is not and can never be Il permanent
rival to Monroe; the topography of the
Countrywide strategy of nature-has
forbidden it. What is needed to make
Monroe the place it should be, is IL pro-
gressive, energetic, public-spirited pop
ulation. We have too many barnacles
too many men who are ambitious to
make money off the country without
investing dollar for improving the
highways, or risking II dollar to extend
our commerce, or giving any considera-
ton to schools, to our municipal affairs,
or to anything but their own money
drawers and how to outstrip their neigh
bors. The irresistible force of a con-
certed public opinion is rarely ever ex-
erted, and seldom, if ever, felt. An in
fusion of live young blood into our slug
gisll veins.i is badly needed.
