NATIONAL TEA PARTY.-The
ever patriotic and charitable citizens
of Philadelphia, the Quaker City,"
and the city Of patriotic memories,
have proposed National Tea Party,
for the benefit of the poor, on tho
10th day Of December, 1878, the CEN
tennial anniversary of the casting
overheard Of British tea in Boston
Harbor. The idea is novel and its
purpose 10 doubly good-patriotic
and charitable. It is to commemOr-
ate an interesting and important
historical event connected with the
war for American independence, and
also to provide means for the re-
lief OF the poor and suffering. The
plan Is to have tea festivals in every
town and all over the country. The
Oskaloosa Leader urges that every
neighborhood should adopt the plan
proposed and make the 10th day
OF December forever hereafter n day
second only to the memorable Chris.
tian holidays, and more glorious
day for patriotic American philan-
thropy than the fourth of July. But
there are some who do not drink tea
and may not be favorably impressed
with the idea. All sucl, can partici-
pate, and by pouring their tea out
and drinking cold water, can most
appropriately and allegorically ex-
press their contempt for tea-drlnking
and ut the same time most appropri-
ately celebrate the day that the tea
was thrown overheard"
The Leader closes Its appeal with
ths following specimen of ub.rac-
teristic poetry, from tho pen VI Its
editor, Port Wslch,
Arise, each noble son, arise,
Come forth each noble daughter,
Spread out your l0ciops cakes aud
And boil the crystal water.
Come steep the Oriental leaf,
Pour out the reeking balm,
A duty's pleasure sends relief
TO every outstretched palm.
Then steep the leaf and All the urn,
With beverage Oriental,
A every patriot drints to yeArn
For freed ON Occidental.
Now, hcncef0rth and E.sayermore,
BE this day Of pleasure.
When patriots help the ALTERING
poor
Each time they AL the MEASURE.
Can we not have \ public YAs Par
~ IN Knoxville, and thus ya!ss y
fund tos the relief Of tho needy?
