Tea Authorizations.

O,e of the usual ways of adulteratlng
tea is by the admiXture of leaves other
than those of the tea-plant. For the de.
lection of these foreign leaves but little
aid can be given by chemistry, and il is
best TO study their botanical and micro.
scopical characters Prof. Alfred II.
Allen gives, in the Chemicdt Netos, the fol
lowing method for detecting adultera-
tons of this kind: "Some of the sample
to be examined" says he, sis to be put
in hot water, and, when the leaves have
unfolded, they are spread out on n glass
plate and held up to the light, when the
yenation, serration, etc, are readily OBJ.
served The primary venation of the
tea-leaf forms series of well-defned
hoops, which are not met with in most
leaves used as adulterants. The SIERRA
tons are not mere sawed teeth on the
margin of the legs, but actual hooks The
Serration stops short, somewhat abruptly,
at some distance above the base. The As
sam tealeaf is sometimes bi-serrate. AT
the apex of the tca-leaf there is dis
tinCt notch instead of point, If we eX-
anime the under surface with a micro
scope after the separation of the Cuticle
the peculiar and characteristic space be-
tween the two cells of the Stomata is
readily perceived. The long, unicellular
hairs of the toa-leaf are also peculiar.
The employment of caustic potash is de.
Sirable in observing these characters. In
the sloe-leaf the serratures are direct IN
cisions, numerous, often irregular, and
extending down to the base. There are
no spines. The hairs are shorter and
coarSer than those OF the tea-leaf, and
are marked in a peculiar manner. The
clder-lcaf is more pointed than that of
the tea plant and the lobes are unequal
at the base. The serratures are direct
inCisions The midritf has hairs on it,
and on the leaf itself there are several
kinds of hairs, notably a short, spinous,
Striated hair, which occurs on the upper
surface. The serratures of the willow
leaf much resemble those of tea, but the
cellwalls of both the upper and under
epidermis differ from those of the tea
leaf in not being sinuous, and there are
long, coarse strlated hairs, When per-
feet the elongated form of the willow
leaf sufficiently distinguishes it from tea,
and the venation is also entirely differ
ent. The chief foreign leaves added by
the Chinese are those of Cbl0rdHtdnS IN
conSDic,tus and of CGmsllid SusdHqld, the
latter of which presents a close reSem.

The Democratic Party.

Shall the Democratic party be restored
To power? No question of more mo-
mentous consequence was ever addressed
to the American people. Those who are
now disposed to answer it in the atfirma-
tive should first consider what the dis
tinctive characteristics of the Demo
cratic party were when it went out of
OH &c in 1861. We have but TO recall the
opening scenes of the rebellion--a cow
ardly, cringing Democratic President, "a
treacherous, reasonable Democratic Cab
met defiant, threatening Democratic
rebels in the Senate and House of Con-
gress uttering maledictions against the
North and shaking off the dust of their
feet against the Union as hey haughtily
stalked away to join the insurgent ar
mics or to accept civil office under
the Confederate States Government;
wretched Democratic leaders skulking
behind constitutional technicalities that
the Constitution, the laws, liberty itself,
might the more easily be stricken down.
This, in brief, was the situation-the ma
ton playing with gigantic rebellion for
the stake of its life, and the Democratic
party betting on the rebellion.
Was there during all the dark hours of
the war, any suspension of Democratic
hostility toward the Republican party,
which, foot to foot with the foe, waged a
doubtful struggle for the preservation OF
the Union? History has made its record,
and it points to no instance where the
Democratic party rose above bitter and
unrelenting partisanship TO the dignity
of u consideration of the superior claims
of the Constitution and of the country.
Witness, as the eliminating act of uni
form course of carping criticism and
open opposition, the resolution of the
Democratic National Convention of 1864.
When the rebellion was trembling on the
verge of helpless collapse, that conven-
ton, representing the principles and the
personnel of the Democratic party, sol
EMMY declared the war failure and i'm.
pudently demanded that terms OF peace,
fatal To the unity of the nation, be Of
fered TO the chiefs of the Contederacy.
How much better is the Democratic
record since the wary Which of the
amendments, now a part of the Constitu
ton, did it supports Which OF them did
it not oppose with every weapon Of
political warfare? What act of recon
struCtion did the Democratic party not
oppose with the most heated denuncia
ton no less than the last resource OF en-.
treaty and argument? But the amend
ments were adopted and the measures
of reconstruction were supported by
vast majority of the people as essential
