A SPECIMEN OF ECONOMY San
Domingo controversy has brought to the
surface o transaction which cannot add
lustre to the boasted economy of President
Grant. It appears that for rent of Sa.
mana, a place destitute of conveniences
and advantages, he has been paying $780,,
900 per annum. The bay has but ten
feet Of water, OF at least vessels drawing
over ten feet cannot pass into it. The
coal is carried ashore in lighters, and when
meu.of.war call for their supply, it is taken
out to them by the same tedious and ex-
pensive process. Coal, when it reaches a
vessels bunkers by this process, costs from
$50 to 800 per ton, which renders Samana,
as a coaling station, neither advantageous
nor economical. Yet President Grant, as
chief of the San Domingo ring, agrees to
pay $150,000 year for the use Of this
valuable coaling station" Look at St.
Thomas, near at hand. There first class
man.of.war lays alongside the wharf and
receives her supply of coal at the low price
or S12 per ton. The rent Of wharves and
sheds for storage is only $4,000 per year.
After reading these simple facts are there
yet people who will maintain that Presi.
dent Grant has exercised the utmost econ.
omy during his Administration. Are there
yet people who will deny that this San Do.
mingo matter is speculative scheme, and
that the President is a member of the
rings.-St0cktox Republican.

TEA CULrURE.-W. G. Howard, writ
ing to the Department Of Agriculture from
San Antonio, Texas, says that the culture
of the tea plant aud the manufacture Of the
tea smuch easier than some people imagine.
From his experience in India he knows
that " neither frost nor snow, drought nor
rain, sunshine nor shadow materially injure
the plant; neither is it subject to the Wis.
itation Of any worm, bug or disease" The
cultivation requires butlittle manual labor,
and that is confined to the picking Of the
leaves, which can be we'll done by women
and children. When once planted all Il
requires is to be kept free from weeds
which could be done with plow. tho same
as with Indian corn. "Should our Gov.
erumeut," concludes Mr.. Howard, "onoe
take hold of the subject and demonstrate
that tea can DO grown, and to profit, the
demand for seed alone would soon pay oil
cost. The yield Of seed is, on an average
four maunds, q maund' is eighty pounds)
to the acre, aud I sold one year from my
garden four thousand maunds,' At two
hundred RUPEES per maund, aud could
have sold forty thousand maunds' At The
same figure"

A CURIOUS AND VALUABLE DIsCov
ERY IN PENNsYLvANIA.-We learn from
the Tioga (Pa.) Agitasor that . curious
and valuable quarry has been recently dis
covered on the farm Of Mr.. r. Bartlett
some two or three hundred rods north oi
Mainesburg. This may be literally de-
scribed as an immense deposit of stone
plank. It covers some six acres, and the
stones are found ready for use--smooth
true, of uniform thickness, and in slabs oi
more than twenty feet in length by ten
feet in width and from one to three or four
inches in thickness each stone, however,
preserving its thickness as nicely as il
sawed out by machinery. The stone is
very sound in texture, even in grain, and,
when first taken from the quarry, soft
enough to work easily, and hardens on ex.
posure to the atmosphere. 1t is q fact
hard to account for that the edges Of these
slabs are as true in most Of the specimens
as though worked out by skillful stone.
cotter. They are easily reduced to any
desired size without breakage, and the
stone appears to be very tough. A load Of
these slabs were recently brought to Wells.
boro over q rough road, without injury.
They wSre twelve feet long by four in
width, one inch thick, almost ~ smooth as
though planed aud without warp or wind.
At one point Of the quarry, the slabs are
in layers tweuty.seven deep, large enough
to square sixteen feet, and Of a uniform
thickness of two inches. Orders are being
received from various places for quantities
Of these stones, and this stone-plauk mine,
for such it is, bids fair to be = fortune for
its owner. ,..-.

Radical Prayer.

Strange FITS Of holiness strike the Rsdi-
calls about election time, and the appeals to
Almighty God become moro intense %
their majorities decrease. It il strange
what ideas people have Of the divine supSf.

mated, without invoking Deity to assist at.
the one, or praising him for having brought
about the other. 1s Dswss i sung ovGt 8

Is the Democratic Party Dead

For the general information of large
number of our radical friends, who repre-.
sent the second tier, we give them the fol.
lowing extracts from leading republican,
journals eff the country, showing that the
Democracy still liveth. If our radicals
can gain any consolation from the extracts,
they are welcome to it:
The Democratic party is stronger than
it ever was in its history. It means now Il

Coukling in his speech at Brooklyn, and
quoted in the Herald.
But two courses are open to all Ameri.
cans who love the Republic. They are to
defeat Grant and elect some man who is
not soldier. Bayouets and the Constitu.

A great deal has been said about the

this Democracy gets its soldiers in the

A Touching Obituary.

A disconsolate husband thus bewails the
loss of his wife, and apostrophizes her
memory:
Thus my wife died. No more will those
loving hands pull off my boots and part my
back hair, as only true wife can. Nor
will those willing feet replenish the coal
hod and water pail. No more will she
arise amid the tempestuous storms Of win.
ter, and gladly HE herself away to build
the fire without disturbing the slumbers of
the man who dotted on her so artlessly.
Her memory is embalmed in my heart Of
hearts. I wanted to embalm her body,
but I found could embalm her memory
much cheaper.

mine, very pretty gravestone. His wife
was cousumptive, and he kept it on hand

But she rallied that spring, aud fits hopes

poor mans grief when asked him to part
with it. "Take it, Skinner, and may you

cry out in agony, even as Rachel weeping
for her children. But one ray Of light
penetrated the despair of my soul. The

 A D1saUsrED CHILD.--A few days since there were several persons in the house where there was young child two or three days old-among them black-eyedA boy of four summers. q When the grandmother came in soon after with the baby in her arms he was very much pleased with, it, kissed it, and evinced every symptom of delight; asked his aunt where she got it, and was told she bought it of doctor Ad5 ans; then asked how much she gayef for sitg She told him ten dollars. He then stood by her lap, On which the child was lying asleep, his eyes beaming with intense sat- isfaction. The babe soonoi awoke and squalled vociferously.
