We have learned Of most important dis
covery, one that affects every citizen OF OuI
land, and one that will and immense wealth

most too important one to be easily believed

| an elderly gentleman came to tins place, look
cd around with the intention OF buying prop.
erty. and did purchase near Beloit, in the
northern part OF our county, and quietly set.
tied down to country life. Since that time
he has rarely been seen around unless called
by business. He has always had sufficient
money to make all his necessary purchases, in
variably paying the ready cash therefor. No
one knew that he was pursuing any unusual
avocation, until his nsighbOrs, seeing many
unusual actions. wondered what it oil meant,
and Madame Gossip soon invented many
strange stories about him; even going SO tar
as to claim that he was the head centre of .
gang of thieves, and was receiving stolen prop.
erty, and SO on, until we cannot begin to emu
merate even tithe Of the yarns. 1t Is owing
to this fact almost alone that he revealed his
true business, as he sand he could not stand it
to be so malinged The person to whom We
allude is Rev. Mr.. Hopkins, who Is trustee Of
the United States Manchett tea company,
whose object it is to introduce the culture of
tea into this county. For years he has spent
all his time and large sum of money lnvesti-
eating this subject. For this purpose he has
visited many OF our states, purchased proper
ty, and carried on his investigations. But IN
Crawford county he has met with the best sue.
cess. The company held that it was possible
to gro" tea IN the United States, provided +
natural base could be found IN which the tea
scion could be grated, thus accimatinS 1t.
This has at last been accomplished. a natu-
raj base has found here, in which tea scion is
grated in the fall, remaining in the ground
during the winter, and the next May or June
1t commences to bear tea. Mr. Hopkins claims
that it will stand our coolest weather, and
thrive exceedingly WELL BY actual trial the
company has raised over seven hundred
pounds to the acre. We are not at liberty to
state what the object Of the company is, or In
what manner they propose to conduct this
business From the statement made to us by
Mr.. Hopkins we see no reason for doubling
that this company has made valuable acqui.
sitlon to the resources OF our cournty, and one
that we trust may prove to be emlnently sue
cessful. The coming season will serve to
prove the truth of ialseness OF the theory, and
set at rest all doubts in the premises. --Denni-

TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA.
Loss OF an Emf grant ship by Collision,
with 300 Liyes-Probable Loss OF the
CoIliding Vessel with All on Board.

Loss of an Emf grant ship by Collision,
with 300 Lives-ProbabIe Loss of the
CoIliding Vessel with All on Board.
The Northfeet emigrant ship, which
sailed from London several days ago
for Australia, with 4l2 passengers, ex-
elusive of her crew, was in collision at
midnight Wednesday, two miles off
Dungennes, with an unknown foreign
steamship and was cut to
the waters edge. Only 81 persons are
known to have been saved. 1t is be-
lieved that every other person who was
on board has found a watery grave. No
attention was paid by the steamship to
the emigrant vessel after the collision,
and she proceeded on her course, leav-
in q the sufferers to their fate.
When the collision happened,a panic
occurred on the emigrant ship. The
passengers who we're asleep rushed
from their berths to every portion of
the ship where they thought they would
be safe, and utterly refused to obey the
orders of the captain. That officer
as last resort to enforce obedience to
his command was compelled to fire
upon the terror stricken people, one of
whom was wounded. 1t is bell eved
that if the passengers had obeyed the
orders of the captain more OF them
would have been saved
The Northfleet was lying at anchor at
the time the collision occurred. Her
cargo consisted of railroad iron. Three
hundred and twenty-one persons were
drowned, including the captain OF the
! Inflated vessel.
1t Is reported that a steamship has
been discovered sunk ut the scene of
the collision. The opinion is becom-
ing general that the vessel which ran
into the Northheet also went
down with all hands before the
emigrant ship sunk. The owner of the
Spanish steamship Murita, who landed
at Dover two hours after the collision
occurred, believes it was his vessel
which was in collision with the North
fleet, and that both were destroyed.

RANK CERTIFICATIONg.

From the comments made upon the cases
which the panic has brought to light of brok-
ers' "overdrafts,n it is evident that the public
knows very little of the system under which
Wall-Street houses transact business, and effect
daily "clearancesn of an enormous volume of
stocks. The Press is united IN just reprehen-
sion Of such banks as have embarrassed them
selves by certifying checks for customers, which
the latter have failed to make good by ade-
quate deposits ; but these banks are not excep-
tional. They are no more blameworthy than
their more fortunate neighbors, whose custom
ers have been strong enough and honorable
enough to prove that the confidence extended
to them was not misplaced.
1t is the whole system of Wall Street "certi-
" fcations" that is at fault SO remarkable is
the working of this system that business men
are astonished when Informed with respect to
it for the first time. brief explanation of its
nature would seem to be in order during the
present crisis.
Temporary "overdrafts" are the rule, and not
the exception, with most of the banks in the
vicinity Of the Stock Exchange. No other
way has yet been devised through which
brokers' " clearances' can be effected. Most
houses with an average deposit" of from
$4,000 to $4,000 in bank have " receive and

THE iCITUdTIOK,

Though the panic broke out afresh, yester-
day afternoon, we are far better off than the
panic-mongers can believe. On careful
examination, the wild alarm into which
the Street was thrown is found
to have little larger occasion than the failure
of Henry Clews g. Co., and few out-of-
town failures and runs. Clews d Co.
made a gallant fight, and, all things
considered, held out better than could
have been expected. The country failures
everybody should have anticipated. Four
such banking houses as those of Jay
Cooke g. Co., in New-York, Philadelphia,
and Washington cannot suspend at the outset
of a New-York panic, when nobody is pre-
pared for it, without gravely embarrassing
scores of small banks all over the country.
But the situation out of town proves far
better than the alarmed brokers and private
bankers believed last night. The Peters
burg suspension is not alarming;
the report of great trouble in Chicago is false /;
in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the prospects
are better; Senator Palmer denounces
the story of run ON his
bank at Armenia as unfounded; the runs are
over in Albany, Trenton, and Washington.
Courage, then The scare is far worse than
the hurt
But we have no purpose to deceive our
readers by undertaking the gravity of the
crisis. There is no reason for further panic
and no sense in it. But we would
be unreasonable if we expected, after what
has happened, that no brokers with worthless
stocks, no private bankers with wildcat Sc
curities, should yet suspend. We must learn
not to get into fresh panic over every one
that is all.
Our leading banks are sound. Practically
they have stopped paying out legal ten
ders, and are thus nursing their reserves,
while continuing to afford facilities for
business. A great deal of liquidation is going
on. The reports about serious trouble among
dry goods men prove unfounded.
Capitalists and that large class who keep
small sums at hand watching for chances to
invest legitimately at low prices, have now
their opportunity, and we urge them to come
forward. They can make large profits for
themselves and greatly relieve the Street, by
buying freely at the low rates now ruling If
you have money to invest, go to Wall Street and
buy stocks that represent solid property to-
day. II you have not. keep away, and do MT
add to foolish panic by your needless pres
ence.
