LIBERII.

For many years it was believed that
the negroes of Central and Southern
Africa could be rendered civilized and
enlightened by sending back persons of
that race who had lived for years in
Christian countries, and had protited by
contact with the whites. With this
view, the American Colonization Society
was formed and the Republic of Liberia
founded. James Monroe, Henry Clay
and many others of the best and ablest
men in the country, gave their support
to the measure of colonizing Liberia,
thinking thereby to elevate the entire
negro race From time to time we have
received very rose colorcd accounts OF
the success of the cmigrants to this
promised land of the negro, and of the
good work they were doing among the
natives But Georgia negro, who has
recently returned i'll disgust from Lii
IBERIA, gives very unpromising account
of affairs there. He maintains that the
civilized blacks that go back to Africa,
so far from doing anything to elevate
the natives, soon relapse, and become
little better than savages themselves.
They leave off all habits of industry,
live ON such products us grow spontanc-
ously, and so nearly naked. Many of
them live in the bushes, and employ
their time III killing vcrmin, or in hack
ing each other with knives. In his
view, the colony is only kept up to a
semblance of deccncy by the accessions
from civilized countries, and without
these the people would soon relapse into
barbariLy.

BLAST AGAINST TIE TEA POT

BLAST AGAINST TIE TEA POT.
The well-known English author,
Matthew Browne, has written an elab-
crate paper entitled, "Tea Considered
as n Cause of National Decentralization.
In this article, he compares the modern
Englishman with his ancestors, and
shows that there has been decided
falling Off The leaves from this vile
shrub of China have wrought this
change. He has discovered all the ills
of Pandora's box i'll tea chest. A
whole catalogue of diseases have made
their appearance i'll Great Britain since
tea was introduced. People have be-
come short-sighted, short-lived and
short i'll stature, all from drinking tea.
But these arc not the worst features of
this case. Skepticism and intidelity
have sprung from the teapot. Com
mercial dishonesty, rotten banks, rotten
insurance companies and rotten ships
are the legitimate effects of tea. Green
tea has made the English woman green
eyed, till she has become the type of
jealousy. Black tea has made the men
black hearted. He asks, "Wherc is
English honesty?' and answers,
"Drowned in teapot" Alcohol, this
writer thinks, is bad, but tea, in its
moral effects, is as much worse as its
consumption is more general. The
former sends few men to Jail the
latter converts II nation into sneaks.
Good health, vigorous intellect, physical
and moral courage, manhood and hon
esty have been drowned by tea; but
under its influence, over-reaching, de-
ceit, fraud, lying and every other vice
have prospered. He processes to be-
lieve that the day is not far distant

ritory the event had happened, and
whose subjects the prisoners were. No
proof against either of them could be
obtained, and both protested their en-
tire innocence But native justice does
not always require legal evidence. The
Rajah considered that the substitution
of stone for money was evidence of some
ones guilt. The brother he considered,
being in front, was absolvcd from sus-
piclon, ut least of the murder but the
chuprassie, who followed the murdered
man, was the suspected, and must be
the guilty party. lie was sentenced to
ten years Imprisonment, with hard la
Dor, and was removed, amid loud pro-
testations of his innocence and probity
Mr.. Wilson left the Rai iah court puz-
zlcd and unsatisfcd he had trusted the
mamie could not account for the mat
ter, yet felt doubts as to the Justice of
the Rajah's sentence, but in the busy
transaction of life, soon began to forget
this mysterious occurrence. About n
year had passed when a messenger
reached him from the Rajah, that his
quondam chuprassie, the convict, had
confessed his crime, and, probably in
hopes of pardon, was prepared to make
restitution of the stolen property. He
hurried to the court, and heard the
prisoners confession. Love, it appear
ed, was the motive of the chuprassie's
crime. He had become enamored of a
beautiful maiden i'll Il neighboring vii
lage, but the price demanded by her
parents for in that country wives are
purchased from the parents) was utterly
beyond his means, and to obtain his de-
sire, he resolved on stealing one of the
thousand rupee bags. This he set about
with consummate skill. When, at the
end of toilsome march, they reached
the cave near Dangal, he dispatched the
elder brother to Il village two miles off
to purchase provisions. Hardly had he
gone, when he dispatched the other
brother mile off to the nearest forest,
to gather frewood. During the interval
he withdrew the bag of rupees from the
younger brothers sack, buried it under
the sand i'll the cave, and substituted Il
stone of nearly the same shape and
weight. The younger brother first re-
turned with the firewood; the elder
coming shortly after with the provisions.
never learned that the chuprassie had
been left alone in charge of the treasure.
Crossing the bridge the following morn
ing, he caused the elder to go first, the
younger next, he himself last, and, when
unnotlced, he, with his long stick, trip
ped up the unhappy man by the leg,
never thinking that the crime could pos
sibly be discovered. Having unburden-
ed hil, mind, the convict led his late
master to the cave, pointed where he
had concealed the treasure, where it
was found intact, and restored to the
owner.
One lovely summer evening, after u
hard days hunting, while enjoying our
weed and reclining on the grass, not
half a mile from Dangal bridge, and with
i'll sound of its roaring torrent, this story
was told to us by one who had no small
share in the clucidation of the mystery.

Hon. SIDNEY BEEEsE, the new Chief
Justice of Illinois, is sevcnty-three years
of age, and has been in active public life
for more than half ii century. He was
United States District Attorney for that
State forty-six years ago, and an influ-
entail member of the National Senate
twenty-five years ago. He was one of
the originators of the Illinois Central
railway, and has always been one of the
leading men of his State, though be-
cause of his acceptance of seat upon
the bench of its highest court, about
twenty years ago, the country at large
has heard but little of him of late years.

MIR. Beecher WAS present the other day
at the New York Editorial Convention,
and related an early experience of his,
when, ON the strength of his appoint
ment as editor of the Cincinnati G0scttc,
he invested in Il fine overcoat and IL gold
watch-the latter of which he had short
ly after to return. Recurring to the
subject in hand, he added: 81 should
not be ashamed to wind up my life as L
began it, for | think that among the
professions there is none that ranks
higher than that-which is yet to be :;
profession-that of journalism. Jour
nalism, as yet, is a pursuit, rather than
IL profession. 1t has no definite bounds;
it has no common law or customs it has
principles, and yet they are held rather
individually than by common consent.
1t is not shaped and drawn out IN any
form with acknowledged foundations
and superstructure. That it is to be
profession, and, like all other profess
sions, to have it's laws and its precepts,
it's maxims and it's methods, there can
scarcely be any doubt. 1t never will be
IL profession i'll this same sense Ill which
law is. 1t has in it SO much of necessity
that is voluntary, that cannot be fixed,
while the law spreads itself around about
the different forms of civil society it
has machinery fixed and bounded for
it which professional journalism never
can have"

IN VEhTORS AMONG Kings.
BY GEORGE W. BUNGAY.

BY GEORGE W. BuNGAY.
Welcome inventors step aside,
Ye sons of sluth and empty PRIDE
Open the doors of welcome wide,
Escort inventors to the seat
Where royal guests sit side by side,
And princes amid bandits meet
They shorten weary hours of care,
They lift the burdens that we bear,
They speed us on the thoroughfare,
They multiply our hours of rest,
They give us leisure hours to spare:
The inventor is regal guest.
There is no head that wears a crown,
Though lifted high, that should look down
On faces bronzcd and fingers brown
OF men of skill and genius rare;
For they have won grand renown
Kings might br proud aud glad to share.
Inventors are the kings to-day,
Uncrowned, they bear regal sway;
Their mandates winds and waves obey,
And gases yield obedicntly,
The lightning on its wiry way
Their message takes DER land and sea-
Where is the prince i'll purple born,
Where is the head a crown has worn,
Where is the king, bright as the morn,
That has devised noble plan
To ease the burdens We have borne,
And elevate the race of Iuau?
Is there Irnus Cn a thrcn",
One crowned inventor, to atone
For mediocre men, who soon
Must put aside the crown and stave?
What shall We write upon the stone
That stands above monarch's grave?
Who taught the rivers how to spin,
And weave the varied colors in,
With fabrics manifold and thin,
SO that the pulsing shuttle flies
Fast AS a heart that beats to win
living, loving, mortal prize?
Who made two blades of grass to grow
Where one before was faint and slow?
Who sent the engine out to NOV
The vcrdant meadows smooth and clean?
Was it a noble duke whose brow
Has won the wreath of fadelcss green?
Who taugh the millcrs how to find
The finest flour i'll grains they grind,
So that the mill obcys the mind,
As it did not in days of yore---
No starch, Ifo gluten left behind,
Aud men are fed on husks no more?

THE USE OF SAT-.

There arc many countries on the
habitable globe where salt has never yet
been found, and whose commercial fa-
cilities being extremely limited, the in
habitants can only occasionally indulge
themselves with it as IL luxury. This is
particularly the case in the interior of
Africa. cit would" says Muugo Park,
"appear strange to Il European to see a
child suck piece of rock-salt as if it
were sugar. This, however, have fire.
qucntly seen; although the poorer
class of inhabitants arc so very rarely
indulged with this precious article, that
to say that man eats salt with his pro-
visions, is the same us saying he is a
rich man. l have suffered great incon-
venience myself from the scarcity of this
article. The long use of vegetable
food creates so painful IL longing for
salt, that no words can sufficiently de-
scribe it.
The Khedive of Egypt is mapping
out for himself very extensive little
empire, without being bothered or
questioned by any of the great powers.
In fact, he has been working so quietly
that the world at large has scarcely
known his designs. He has extended
his dominion in straight line south
ward from the Mediterranean Sea to
the equator, taking in Nubia, Kordofan,
Sennar and vast extent OF Ethiopia.
His star of empire has followed the
Nile from its mouth to the great lakes
of Albert Nyanza and Victoria
Nyanza. The slave trade has been sup
pressed along the entire route, and COM
parative peace and order established, SO
that commerce can now be freely and
uninterruptedly carried on between
Cairo and Zanzibar. These annexa-
tions, with the old Egyptian dominions,
include Il range of country covering
about thirty degrees of latitude, or
equal to IL line drawn southeastwardly
from Sar Diego, CAL, to the city of
Panama, in Central America.

SOME time ago, Mrs. Avery ID. Put
nam, the widow of the man murdered by
Foster III New York, and commonly
known as the car-hook murder, obtained
IL verdict of IS, 900 from the Seventh
Avenue Street-Railway Company for
damages sustained in the death of her
husband. The case was appealed to the
General Sessions of the Supreme Court,
where the verdict has been affirmed.
This decision is important by placing
treet-railways in the class of common
carriers, and requiring them to protect
their passengers from violence.

cranberry marsh i'll Minnesota, and yet
hundreds of people make an almost ex-
