Adulteration of Green Tea.

DR.. Leteby, Of London, the we'll
known sanitary artist, has. just report
ed as to the adhlteratioh of green tea
in that city. He discovered, it ap
pears, that some tea on sale in Nine
ing lane required looking after, and
he succeeded in getting authentic sam
piles from the bonded warehouses in
which the articles were stored. On
examination it was found that this So
called tea contained from forty to for.
sty-three per cent. of iron filings and
nineteen per cent. of silica, in the form
of fine sand, which had been cleverly
mixed with and added to the leaves
before curling, with view to increase
their weight and bulk. After the
leaves were curled they had been thick
ly covered with green pigment. When
it was infused in boiling water it pro-
duced very turbid solution, offensive
to the smell and nauseous to the taste

J.P. REED, Eso--Decr Sir: have your
favor of the 18th instant--contents duly noted
I have for some time been investigating the
subject Of steam, from the fact thatI had de-
sire TO extend our operations at Granltevllle'
T have satisfied myself that [ could build
mill at Graniteville to run in connection with
the old mill, to be propelled by steam, and do
better than to go elsewhere, from the fact that
I possess many advantages at Graniteville.
But if were going To build new mill at any
other point, I would prefer water power: l
must say that would not like to invest money
in a small steam mill, for it will require the
same skilled labor that a large mill would, and
skilled labor is expensive.
I believe, however, that money could be
made by steam power, if well managed-wood
at $500 per cord, or coal at $3.50 per ton. I
find that I could get coal at Graniteville for
$500 to $3.50 ton. You no doubt could get it
at the same price, per Chattanooga via At

information. Truly yours,

AN ERECT PosruRE.-A writer On health
very justly condemns the habit of lounging in
which large numbers Of persons indulge, as in
furious to health. He says: Gan erect bodily
attitude is of vast more importance to health
than is generally imagined. Crooked bodily
positions, maintained for any length of time,
are always injurious, whether in the sitting,
standing lying posture ioGh Whether asaa segng ei
on the stomach or to one side, with the heels
elevated to the level with the head, is not only
in bad taste, but exceedingly % detrimental Mt to
health. 1t cramps the stomach, presses the Vi
tai organs, Interrupts the free emotions of the
chest, and enfeebles the functions of the ab-
dominal and thoracic organs, and, in fact, un-
balances the whole muscular system. Many
children becomes slightly hump-backed. or Sc
yerely round shouldered, by sleeping w--:b the
head raised on high pillow: when any person
finds it easier to Sit or stand or sleep in q
crooked position than in straight one, such
persons may be'sure his muscular system is
badly deranged, and the more careful he is to
preserve stsairht or an upright position, and
get back to nature again, the better" =.

The NEED FOR PRACTICAL EDUCATION.-
That sort of training whose primary object and
result is to give man superiority over his fel-
lows, so that his advancement is only measured
by their depression, we do not believe to be
true education. This process may make a
demagogue, it may make brilliant politician,
but it does not make the real benefactors of
their race who have set mankind forward great
strides in material welfare.
The great demand of our country and the
world at the present day is pre-eminently for
educated practical men; for men thoroughly
acquainted with the laws of the great natural
agencies, and with their practical application
to the industrial pursuits of the nation and the
age who not only have the knowledge to cal
culate the expansive energy of steam, but the
giant, put him in harness, and make him forge
the shaft to draw the car or delve the mine
Our own State especially demands of her ed
ucational institutions young men Of practical
scientific knowledge to develop her extensive
resources, and utilize the many elements of
power which nature has so literally distributed
in her mountains, her streams and her valleys.
This Importance of technical education is
now being acknowledged in all civilized coun-
tries. Prussia, France, England, and our own
country are establishing polytechnical schools,
and encouraging by effort the individual talents
and energies of their people. -.
The power of a nation depends not altogether
or chiefly upon the extent and variety of its re-
sources and natural advantages, but far more
upon the degree of skill and ingenuity with
which these advantages are used in a word,
upon the scientific and practical education of
the industrial classes. There is no basis upon
which national greatness can so firmly rest as
upon the skill and intelligence of its industrial
energy.-Home and School.

are confined to the river banks; but with

lumber and labor are abundant and cheap, in

AGRICULTURAL ADDREsSES.-A radical re-
form is needed in regard to the annual ad-
dresses made at Autumn Fairs. In the first
place the address should be made by that far
mer who can do best, and who can most honor
the subject. Should he be deficient in the
graces Of oratory, and should fail to express
himself eloquently, still let him speak to his
brother farmers, for, in establishing this Prac-
ticc, others will try to initiate and excel. But
there is no lack of educated farmers, and the
annual address may be all that is desired in the
way of elegance and finish of composition,
provided the proper man is selected. The Gus
tom hitherto prevailing of selecting lawyers
and eminent politicians to address farmers is
degrading and unworthy Of the age, for it is
thereby taken for granted that farmers belong
to low class, and that they need not ever pre-
tend to instruct others. Let this practice De
abolished and forever.
Then the most favorable time for delivering
the address should be selected. The earlier
part of the fair is the best opportunity. Fur
ther especial pains should be taken to have
the audience seated. Nothing of this kind has
ever been done, and consequently people have
been obliged to stand, usually in the sun, or in
the rain, as is often the case, and only few
tired and distracted people, many OF them on
the move, have appeared. The way to do is to
have a large hall, or to appropriate shaded
ground, if such is to be had, and then to fur
nnish seats for about 1000 people. They will
surely be filled, and largely by ladies, to whom
the seats will furnish part of the attraction.
If such accommodation cannot be provided the
address might as well be omitted, and, instead
have it printed. We have attended a great
many State Fairs, and have never yet listened
to an address except in part, and 50 few do
listen that the occasion is of no kind of 'conse-
quence. To go to great expense in providing
seats and shelter, that horse trots and the best
horses and cattle may be exhibited. and then
to make no sort of provision for listening to
the best intellectual entertainment that can be
provided, shows low state of mental culture,
and one we'll worthy to be placed on a level
with political sxhbcns Much fssh, solid oil da1sss enter
and people mi ght return home highly gratified,
but before this result can be attained, entirely
new arrangements must be made.-M~ York

CONFIDENCE IN OT1IERs.-People have gen.
orally three epochs in their confidence in man
In the first they believe him to be every thing
that is good, and they are lavish with their
friendship and confidence: In the next they
have had experience, which has smitten down
that confidence, and they then have to be care
full not to mistrust every one, and to put the
worst construction upon every thing Later in
life, they learn that the greater number of men
have much more good in them than bad, that
even when there is cause to blame, there is
more reason to pity than to condemn and then
spirit of confidence again awakens within
them.

J.P. REED, Eso.-Dear Sir: In answer to
your inquiry will state that am not man
ufacturer, but have had some knowledge OF the
workings of steam cotton mill for the last
twenty years.
I have been the president of the Macon
Manufacturing Co., and though having nothing
to do with the workings of the mill, | have
known all about it. About 1850, there were
eight or ten steam mills put up in Georgia. l
am sorry to say every one of them failed ex-
cept ours. The causes of their failures were,
|. They cost more than the subscribed capital
2. They were badly constructed, and were not
properly run by efficient men,. g. They were
badly located as to fuel and transportation.
These we're, think, the main causes of their
failure. Yours, &C.,

THE WONDERFUL VIRTUES OF INK-No

ages have been preserved and disseminated, the
discovery by which the art preservative of all
arts was made possibility. And yet, much as
has been written on the subject, and long as it

for the present day to develop some of its most
remarkable qualities One night last week a
Louisville gentleman, who had retired to rest
after light supper of soft crabs and cucum-

which excited his fears of an attack of cholera.
No time was to be lost in warding off the fell

and, seizing bottle of camphor, took swal;

his fright left him, it occurred to him that hiF
camphor had lost its customary odor. Again
he arose, and this time turned on the gas. A
single glance at his night shirt told the tale
