Effects Of Ten on the System.

The Boston Jo,rno! of Chemistry pub
fishes a lengthy article on the properties of
tea. in the course Of which the writer says
that it is no matter Of wonder with him
that the brain workers, in all the years
since tea was introduced. have regarded il

is exhausted by labor or study cup of tea

age can. He thinks 1t productive Of ener
". and adds: Tea saves food by lessenlng
the waste OF the body. seothes the vascular
system, ard affords stimulus to the brain.
The young do not need It, and it is worthy
of note that they do not crave or like il.
Children will frequently ask tor coffee. but
seldom for tea. To aged people, whose
powers OF digestion and whose bodily sub

necessity"

Saws the New Inrk Trim.

In the same breath il Which they virulen--
~ attack it, the journalists who edit the
government Offices az large decry the pos
sihi!ity of convention at Cincinnati. First.
it is declared that the leading men iden.
titled with the movement are at logger
heads, and in the proper frame 10 break up
the movement if all pans and purposes are
not made to bend to the peculiar whm OF
each. Again, it is sagely argued that be
cause Charles Sumner can not change a
vote from Grant in his own State. the move
ment must ''tall dead before even formal
evidence Of life. The utmost elaboration Of
argument is devised TO prove the whole
Liberal Reform movement an invention of
Democratic ''soreheads,' led on by few
obscure foreigners who have been for a
time permitted to act with the Republican
party. Bat the utmos. evidence Of feeble
ness is claimed by tie lack of comment
on the convention in the press at large
while the real fact is, that from Portland
to San Francisco, and from ST. Paul to New
Orleans. wherever there is press. the pr;n-
cipal topic Of the journalist. liberal or anti
liberal. is speculation on the action at Gin
cinnati. and advice ard exhortation for or
against the assumed work TO be done there.

Planting Items.
The Alexandria Democrat saws:

4He AieGanurla lem CcrGt says:
Four days Of the past week, we were
blessed with fair, seasonable weather. Our
planters improved the opportunity and did
good work. Most are through planting
corn, and are planting cotton. Corn is up in
many places and doing pretty WELL consid-
ering the cold snaps OF the past week. The
sugar planters are moving on very finely:
we hear OF some cane already scraped a
second time With few more days OF
good weather, all will be fairly under way
looking to prosperous season.
The Empire Parish Register says:
The planters in this parish have nearly
all finished putting in their seed cane,
which TUNED out sound. The stubble is
COCO, though backward, N keeping with
the season. 1t is too early vet 70 form any
estimate OF the probable crop this year.
though we believe about the same area as
was planted last year will be put under
cultivation this season.
Because CT the continued low stage of
water nc rice has been planted as yer, ex-
cePt a small quantity on the low back
lands, and the probability is that little or
none will be planted in front unless the
river should rise very soon. From. present
appearances, the rice planter who makes
enough to pay expenses this year VIII be
fortunate indeed
The same paper says of the potato pros
poets:
Irish potatoes are very irregular in
growth this season, owing to the heavy
rains and frequent cold snaps during the
past two months. We have noticed the
fields up and down the coast for consider
able distance, ard found them the same
everywhere, with but one exception, and
that is the fed Of Nr. James Reed. about
four miles above. here, which is being
worked by Messrs. K. Gordon and George
Crowther. The potatoes at this place pre-
sent very healthy appearance, and have
SO far advanced in growth that they have
been laid by as needing no further work
ing. The prospect is that an abundant
yield will be the reward Of the labor ex-
pended by Messrs. Gordon and Crowther.
The Mansfield Reporter says:
AS a general thing com is up, but we
hear good deal OF complaint about the
bad stand. which, we presume, was caused
by the recent unfavorable weather Those
OF our farming friends with whom we have
conversed seem to think that there is q
better time coming, and say the negroes are
working very we'll.

A new street sprinkler. the invention of a
Cincinnatian, was tried recently. and with
complete success. A revolving four-a,1n
sprinkler at the rear end OF tie tank is kept
in motion by an endless chain connected ty
pulleys with the wheels Of the vehicle. Tne
water is thrown with such force as to sprin-
kle the entire width of the street at once,
but does not rise more than two feet f. ON
the ground. The driver Las such complete
control over the supply by means of valves
that the water can be turned off i'll an in

receiving an unwelcome baptism at street
crossings is avoided.

One Of the largest and most rapidly grow
ing interests Of California is wool growing.
She now has about $780, 900 Of sheep. The
sheep are sheared twice a year. the spring
clip averaging six pounds to the sheep, and
the fall four pounds, when the years feed
has been good. This springs clip is not ex-
pected to average over four and a half
pounds. but this will make yield of 80. o0o-
600 pounds. This springs crop is expected
10 bring thirty-tive cents a pound. which
would net for the whole yield over $l2, 600,
900. The cost of production is probably not
as high as ten cents a pound.

A SPRING CAPRICE.

Came your merry laughter falling
Musically on mine ear,
As from birds in spring days calling
To their loves, the carols clear;
Came your sweet low laughter pealiDg
Through the sad grove of my mind,
As between sere beech-leaves stealing
Blows the gentle evening wind.
Came the richness of your laughter
As song that, brought again,
In the mournful days hereafter.
Bids the dry heart melt in rain;
Came IN tones, such music making
AS when, ranked i'll merry band
Curl the crisp waves lightly breaking
on the dull and sullen sand
Game It's liquid murmur clearly
AS fountains music sweet
That, IN the parched desert, dearly
Doth the tired traveller greet;
came It's cadence lightly speeding
Ger my hearts waste. silent ground
AS EYES silver laugh from Eden

Marshal Mcmahon has testified that he
alone was responsible tor the movements OF
the army after it left Chalons. and prior to
Sedan and that the Emperor Napoleon was
N no way responsible for its disaster. This
testimony will somewhat clear Napoleon 5
reputation, but it VIII injure the military
standing of McMahon. Or rather, il viii
convince the public Of what it has already
had good reason to be!ieve-that NcMahon
is no General. In fact, that officer never
deserved the reputation that was generally
given to him before the late war. He ac-
quilted himself with credit in a subordinate
command in Italy, bat he never showed any
capacity tor directing an army. 1t was only
the absence of any decided strategic ability
among the French Generals that made the
public accept the gallant McMalon as a
great General, when lie was only clever
corps commander.

The reported GOODNESS between the two
Senators from Massachusetts, growing cut
OF the circulation given by Mr.. Wilson to
the story that Mr.. Sumner was going to the
Cincinnati convention, and would even. in
all probability, preside over that love feast
of the iyreconcilables. has not only foun-
dation in fact, but has been made manifest
through the public sighting of his brother
Senator by Mr.. Sumner. Wilson disclaims
any malice in giving currency to the rumor.
having learned it from Postmaster Sperrv.
OF New Haven, while lately in Connecticut.
and Sperry named Mr.. Schurz as his direct
personal authority. The Missouri Senator
not only denies that he ever made any such
statement, but ignores the slightest &C.
Quaintance with the Yankee postmaster.
though the latter retorts by the assertion
that Schurz not only knows him well
enough, but upon one occasion stopped over
night at his house. Independent of the
question of veracity between these two gen
tlemen is the certainty that Mr.. Sumner has
no intention of going to Cincinnati, nor can
any material support for its candidate and
platform be expected from him till the
Philadelphia convention has met and adj
jeurned.

Washington never made speech. In
the zenith of his tame he once attempted it.
failed, and gave II up confused and abash-
ed. In framing the constitution OF the
United States, the labor was almost wholly
performed in committee Of the whole. OF
which George Washington was, day after
day. the chairman, but he made two
speeches during the convention of very
few words each, something like one Of
Grants speeches. The convention, how
ever, acknowledged the master spirit. and
historians affirm that had it not been for his
personal popularity, and the thirty words
OF his first speech, pronouncing it the best
that could be united upon, the constitution
would have beer rejected by the people.
Thomas Jefferson never made speech. He
couldn't do it. Napoleon, whose executive
ability is almost without parallel. said
that his greatest difficulty was in finding
men of deeds rather than words. When
asked how he maintained his influence over
his superiors in age and experience when
commander-in-ehicfo OF an army i'll Italy, he
said. By reserve; the greatness of man is
not measured by the length Of his speeches
and their number.
