restrain him from continuing the business
OF reviving old tea leaves with Prussian
blue, tumeric, plumbago, indigo, and other
economical .refreshers and selling the prod
ucts as "hyson," " "oolong," and other
wise. How the public can be effectually
protected against such wicked frauds, it is
difficult to say. Perhaps it would be the
safect plan to buy only such teas as is GER

box cover, and free from aduteration.
President Hayes SAID good thing the
| other day to Miss Phoebe Cozzens, of St.
Louis who went up to the White House to
pay. her respects to him. Miss Cozzens is
lady who has studied law, and differs
from nearly all the ladies who have in
yaded the professions usually practiced by
men, in being decidedly attractive in her
personal appearance. In the course of her
conversation Miss Cozzens playfully refer
red to PRESIDENT Grants having talked of
having done SO, it would be her duty to have
administered to him the oath of office on
Monday. President Hayes replied to her
"My dear Miss Cozzens in that case |
should have kissed something besides the

Charles or 'Conors peculiar wooing IS thus
told by the Washington correspondent of
the Cleveland Herald:
The young and beautiful widow of Com
modore McCracken of our navy returned
from abroad, and, finding her financial af-
fairs in complicated state, went to MIR.
O'Conor to get his legal advice. Mr..
O'Conor discovered that the Commodore
had died insolvent and the beautiful widow
was left to the cold mercies of selfish
world without a penny to call her own.
This he was obliged to break to her,
whereupon she held up her hands in pite-
GUS dismay, crying ooh! Mr.. O>Conor,
what shall I do? I who have lived in lux
ury all my life ]" MADAM" said the
great lawyer, 4" the best advice can give
you is to marry me-" They were married.
Pen portrait of our new Secretary of
State:
Evarts is a little fellow, thin as shad,
with as narrow o head as ever topped
full grown pair of shoulders, and a hatch-
ETY., Indian sort of face. He suggests
nothing SO strongly as an animated toma-
hawk. A great sharp nose oyershadows
all the face except the mouth, which is too
| vide te be overshadnWed. It's corners
(the mouth, not the nose's,) are pulled
down until the face is an unpleasant, vine
gar expression, which is not lessened by
the blackness of the caverous depths out of
which the steel gray eyes peer with q keen
and watchful look The chin is as sharp as
the corner of tomahawk, and in shape is
very like it. Customarily the chin is sunk
upon the chest, as though the thin neck
was to weak to sustain the weight of the
brain. He generally sits with bis arms
folded, and has always the appearance of
being in deep fit of meditation.
London Spectator -" At the next va
cancy of the Tiara there will probably be
two English Cardinals, the Pope having an
nounced to Mgr. Howard that he will re-
ceive the hat on the 18th of March. Mgr.
Howard is member of the Norfolk family,
forty-eight years of age, and personally
favorite at the Vatican, where he holds the
post of Vicar of St. Peters He is said to
be man of sweet and stately character
and Of considerable learning, and he has
once or twice been employed on missions of
any of the higher offices of the Church,
though formally styled the 'suffragan Bish-
op of Frascati' and Archbishop in parti6ats
of Neo- -Cesarea. His appointment is rather
remarkable one, as there are three Eng
disappearing Cardinals already-Cullen,
Manning and McCloskey the English
Catholics will, ,aftel his nomination, be over
represented, and it gives rise to surmise
that new English candidate might not be
unwelcome to the conclave. The Cardinals
may step outside of Italy, and if they do
not prefer an Englishman, and if an Eng
lishman then II hereditary Catholic belong
ing to one of the few English families
which are recognized on the Continent as
