Resting over night at a pretenti-

heartily there in the morning, was
an aged man whose unspeakably
seedy attire while il had been I'M
noticed in the dark hours of his ar

the official of the house as revealed

was the superb clerk Of the estab

wronged of its dues by some trick

guest, and when the latter having
dispatched his meal presented him
self at the desk, with an admoni-

his own time TO draw forth from

American Tea Culture.

The culture Of exotic plants has
recently assumed a diversified, and,
in many instances, important char
acter throughout the United States.
Among other species, the tea plant
has been made object of many eff
forts at home production, and when
the plant has been successfully
grown the fact has been heralded
far and near as one Of great COM
mercial Importance, to which it is
not entitled. The plant has with
stood the cool summers and winters
of the climate of Britain, and en-
dures the climate of this country
as far north as the District of Col
umbia, where it has been growing
for the past twelve years, and can
be grown over a vast extent of the
United States, so far as climate is
concerned and as regards soil, it
is well-known that it will grow any
where and on any soil that is capa-
bic Of supporting current or black
berry bushes. The difficulty then
Is not in growing the plants, but in
converting its leaves into various
teas of commerce. This cannot be
done by machinery. The leaves
must he picked, manipulated dur
ing the process of drying, and
twisted by hand. This may be
done on a small scale 10y those who
may want to raise their own tea,
but it can hardly pay to raise it in
this country for commercial pur-
poses while Chinese laborers work
for about two cents day, and
mako their dinners of a dead rat.

The Poor Of England.

Some remarkable revelations of
the condition Of the poor Of Eng
land are being made. The report
of Mr.. Inspector Baker, and a
pamphlet by George Smith, of Coal
vile, near Leicester, show that
there are 1900 brickfields altogeth-
er, and that the number of children
and young persons employed in
them, of ages ranging between
three and half years and seven
teen years, amounts to 10000.
Children of seventeen years of age
carry forty pounds of clay upon
their heads, daily, for thirteen
hours, almost without intermission.
Children of both sexes work to-
gether in q state Of almost total
nakedness, and use language and
perform mutual acts which the re-
port and the pamphlet shrank from
specifying, but which without
doubt, were too nameless in their
shame to be described. Men and
women associated together in equal
disorder, singing lewd songs, ex-
changing lascivious gestures, and
mating into all sorts of vice child
rem who were almost infants. The
Earl of Shaftcberry and the Bishop
of London made some revelations
of similar nature, and the tenden-
cy of the entire evidence was to
show that a state of things unut-
terably horrible prevailed, which
was disgrace to the country
to be christian.

A SHREwD BUSINESS MANAGER.-It is we'll
known that Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island,
is one of the largest manufacturers of cotton
goods in the United States, and that he holds
other important interests in various sections OF
the country. In the course of his manufactu-
ring operations he has found it advantageous
not only to export provisions from Texas for
the use of his thousands of operatives, that
they may be enabled to save more of their
earnings BY thus obtaining supplies at small
advance on the first cost, but the distinguish
ed manufacturer has also taken an interest in
the construction of railroad in Texas, and the
erection of cotton factories at convenient points
along the line of the road, in order that he may
purchase his cotton direct from the planters,
and thus save many thousands of dollars an-
nually in freight commissions, storage, &C.,
and be able to keep his mills running the year
round. Then again, instead of paying tribute
to others to transport his raw material and
meat supplies, he will convey them over his
own road. It is also quite probable that ne
has an eye to the Texas wool crop, which is
annually increasing, and will soon excel that
of any other State in quantity, as it now does,
in some respects, others in quality.-Bost0n
