Bad Tea.

The question of spurious or injurious
tea seems to be growing important. The
Chinese have discovered that tea-leaYes
mixed with dung, IRON filings, and other
substances, all powdered fine, suits the
English market, and are sending COM
pounds of that sort over ia huge masses,
of course not without connivance- with
some English dealers on this side. On
Tuesday it was alleged by the Sanitary
Commissioners of the city that no less
than 10000, GOO pounds of such tea, to-
tally unfit for human food, was in bond.
ready for sale. The quantity would, we
believe, be greatly increased if partially
adulterated tea were added to the list,
and we do not see why the City Board
of Health want additional powers to
compel its destruction. They only want
additional courage to offend the import
ers, who are often men of the. highest
Responsibility. they order the tea.
and, they know what they are ordering,
particularly when if a magnet is intro
duced into a chest it is drawn out coy
cred with iron filings. The grand diff
Guilty rests with country purchasers, who
want tea at one shilling and six pence.
: which they esnnet have, the. lowest re-
muneratiye price being two shillihgs,
but the Customs have certainly power to
send dangerous tea to "Her Maiesty's
tobacco pipe" the furnace into which
forbidden articles are thrown, and. should

CHEAP LIVING.

We do not know whether the. great
reduction of prices recently made IN.
some of the staple articles Of every day
life, by our butchers and dealers, lneaus
that we have heretofore been paying a.
too large profit, or whether it is one of
those spasmodic attempts OF. dealers UNI,
der an ambition to increase their. bust
ness, where they take some leading arti-.
Gle and reduce it below cost, that they
may attract attention by the eheapness
Of this one article and increase sales on

The Virginius Affair.

FEW WORDS FROM THE PRESIDENT.
~ ~ WAsHNeroN, Nov. II. :.
The president to-day. in a. CONVERSE
ton, relative to the Cuban affairs, said
government had thus far acted on such
facts as had reached it, and was now
engaged in collecting from all reliable
sources, further information concerning
capture of the Virginius, and particular
ly attending the. revolving executions
which followed that event. 1t was de-
sirable that all information should be OF
such, a. character as would leave no doubt
whatever as to its reliability. -, -. 81
The propriety of this course was too
evident to require explanation, the gov
eminent heing careful in what it is now
doing, al d what it may hereafter do, to
act upon facts, and not upon assump-
tions and Hnsubstantial reports.
1t was essential that we should be pre-
pared to maintain our position. The
president said he had changed none of
the views expressed by him concerning
events in Cuba, but had more than ever
been confirmed in them by recent occur
renees. He shared with the public in
their denunciati0n of the capture on the
high. seas of a vessel, sailing with a reg
ular clearance, under the United States
flag, and the startling events which 90
quickly followed. 81 .s.lt.f.-1 s-,.... !. Z

SOME lSCInEETs OF A CHICK FRED
LIFE, Sarah. E. Sawyer, atlas Madame
Crispino," the woman who was lately
arrested with others for sending obscene
literature through the United States
mails, has lived rather a romantic life.
She was born in a cove village, near the
old town, OF Gloucester; over forty years
ago. She was we'll known. on account
of her beauty as the @belie of the cove"
Tfer parents were well-kn0wn people.
At one time she was q school teacher,
and while thus employed a number OF
voting men. ,sghght an Introduction to
the, 'sbeile. = She had prominent Teia-
tons in Boston; and years ago, while IN
the city, q young merchant fell Ia love
with her and was partially betrothed.
About this time a rich Boston merchant
purchased of her father q lot of land
near the residence of the ''belie" for the
purpose of building a summer residence,
and mechanics were sent from Boston to
erect the building. Among them was a
carpenter whose name happened to be
the same as that of some of Ter relations.
He, however, was born in Nova Scotia.
He obtained board IA the family of the
, fsbelle" and, after q few days spjourn
there, he and the "beile' were missing
from the house during an entire night
The parents at daylight went to a grove
near the. house which was being erected,
and there discovered upon a tree small
looking-glass, a comb and shawl. This
told the Sad tale that they had '4eloped, !"
and the news.spFead ike wfld-fFe among
the people of the cove. It appeared
that the couple proceeded on foot
through the cove woods, for some six
miles; to the t0wnof NJ, Where they
took the stage for Boston, and thence
went to Providence, r. L., where the
matrimonial knot was tied without the
regular marriage certificate, RS was re-
quired in the Bay State. The father
followed his clipping daughter, but could
not find her She was finally discovered
by her parents where she and her hus-
band had taken up quarters Cat board

sided some years, the husband working
at earpenteFing. Some years since he
died from oyer-indulgence in strong
drink The widow has, within few
years, kept boarding house at the
South End, and it now appears has got
into rather bad scrape by being mixed
up in the. obscene publication affair. =

the prices of commodities that we: all !.
have to use descending towards figure
that will remind us of the good old days
when gold and silver coin:was the only |
legal tender and an agreement to pay SO /;
many dollars indicated q fixed value
that every man could understand.
In the great world of commerce, we
must have the wholesale dealer and. The
retail trader, between the producer and
consumer of many articles OF daily con-
sumption We make no war upon either,
but we do believe there are too many
middle men, who. combine to live on
very small sales by charging large prohts.
1t is rather alarming at times TO pass
through the stores on our busy streets
and see the great numbers of drummers
or Commercial travellers, y as they style
themselves, who get their living by per
sistent soliciting of the retail merchant.
All these men must be paid q salary or
have a commission on sales sufficient to
support themselves, and that pay,
whether it be salary or commission, must
add a percentage to the cost of the
articles they are seeking to sell, and all
these additions and percentages help to
swell the price that the consumer must
pay for his merchandise. rs ~
When there is an easy money market
and business is active and prosperous,
people pay high price for their necessa-
ries Of life and do not complain, but
when there isa tightness in moneta-
nv affairs, and the mills and shops are
idle or. running on reduced time, some
of the first thoughts of retrenchment
are directed to prices paid for the nee
essaries of life, and the consumer and
the producer naturally fall to compar-
ing notes to see the differences between
what is paid by the one and received
by the other, and in this crisis as the
dismal feeling produced by the fnan-
cial panic, is resting like anincubus up
on the industries of the people, we
may not be surprised to see measures
taken to bring the producers and con-
surners together in COUNSEL. to devise
means to dispense entirely with the SER
vices and pay of middlemen. We do
not believe this is practicable to the full
extent claimed by the advocates of the
measure of direct dealing between those
who produce and those who consume.
The people must have relief on this
matter of high prices, and we appeal to
the retail merchants to inaugurate a re-
form in the manner of purchasing goods.
They can find wholesale dealers who are
willing to make fair profit on goods
and not employ runners or travellers, to
enhance prices. Then let the retailers
reduce their own profits to the lowest
living rates, that laboring men, and all
others, may be able to support their
families upon the reduced wages they
receive. Unless this is done some meth
cd must be devised for reducing the ex-
penses of living by cooperation in some
way, between producers and consumers,
whereby all profits paid TO middlemen
may be saved. Retrenchment is the or
der of the day, and people viii need
considerable discrimination to know
where to begin, and how far they can
carry it, e....-..s g..
