Judge Wallace.

Judge Wallace.
In the report of the st. Patrcks dinner in
Charleston we find the following high complt-
ment to Hon. W. H. Wallace:
The sixth regular toast was announced rs fol-
lows:
1.-The Judiciary-A wise, firm and incorrup-
tible Bench the main safeguard of our rights
and liberties"
To this toast the Hon. W. II. Wallace iudre
of the Seventh Circuit was invited to respond
Having been busy withthe cngrossing duties of
his position since he had received the invitation
he had been unable 10 prepare himself, but new
ertheless he proceeded TO deliver on the sptr of
thS momept spseSh, os wkich he might NYcl
have been proud after weeks preparation
Alluding briefly to the dry details of law sug-
gested ON first thought by toast to the judicia-
ry. he soon branched off on the sentiment Of
fered, and grew eloquent over the high mission
of the Judiciary to preserve that golden mean
betw cen liberty and license, which, while it gave
to the individual the frcest exercise of his per.
sonal rights, at the same time guarded and
maintained public order and tranquility.
Judge Wallace was received with tremendous
applause, and tho expectations of his friends
were fully realized in his eloquent address.

ROUND DANCING REBUKED,

In the Virginia Episcopal Council,
in session at Lynchburg recently,
Bishop Whittle delivered IN elabo-
rate address, in which he earnestly
deprecated the evils of round dane
ing. After quoting the late Bishop
Johns protest against round dane .
ing, Bishop Whittle says:
'I will not discuss it's character
and consequences, for while St..
Paul wrote to the Church in Ephe-
sus that it WAS a shame even to
speak of those things which were
done by some in secret, I should
feel ashamed even to spoak as the
truth would require of this thing,
which is done openly, before all.
l will only say that L trust no man
or woman will be presented for con-
firmation who means to continue TO
participate in this abomination, and
If the ministers of the church have
no authority to discipline communi-
cants as evil-doers who practise it,
surely this Council should not fail
to clothe them with such authority
by canon"
This portion of tho address was
referred to q committee, which re-
ported canon forbidding the holy
communion md confirmation to
persons who habitually indulge in
round dancing. Under tho rules it
required two-thirds vote to pass q
at this session, and the canon was
defeated. Resolutions were, how.
ever, adopted deploring the sinful
practice, and urging that it be dis
continued by all good members Of
the Episeo pal church. &.

THE TEL PL1NT.

The following article is copied
from the United States Agricultural
Report for 1860, and is an extract
from a special article Oh Tea
Culture, by Spencer Bonsall, of
Philadelphia, "from practical expe-
pience, acquired by residence of
six years" in Assam, ono of the
lArgest tea districts in China -
The most suitable situation for O
tea plantation is rough, hii}y piece
Of ground with southern exposure,
intersected, if possible, by streams
OF water. Poor yellow loan, in
which cotton tobacco or sugar cane
would starve, suits the tea plant
perfectly. The soil should contain
no carbonate Of lime only traces
of phosphate and sulphate, their
iron almost wholly in the state of
carbonate Of iron, q widely different
compound from the simple oxides.
The soil should be light and porous,
the prevailing color yellow or red
dish yellow, us the depth increases,
passing into sand. Some shade
trees should be left standing on the
land, as full exposure to the hot,
glaring sun for whole day during
u dry season would niure the plants.
On level ground, the earth should
be raised into ridges, about eight or
ten inches high, on which the plants
should be placed.
The Chinese plant as many seed
in each hole as can be held in the
double hand. Ten or fifteen of these
usually vogetate, and are allowed to
remain to form thick bush They
rarely transplant, and when they do,
they set three or four plants toyeth-
or. An acre Of land will allow Of
three thousand plants, set out four
feet apart--three feet in the row
planted so rs not to be opposite to
each other in the row A patch of
fifty feet square can raise one hum
dred and twenty trees, which the
third year will yield eleven pounds,
increasing until the sixth year, when
it will yield forty~tive pounds.
The leaves can be plucked two or
three times during the season. The
first "spring crop" is in March, and
is the more delicate and finer quali-
ty. The second crop is in NJ y, the
third in July. If plucked in dry
weather, four pounds of tea leaves
will make one pound of tea it in
wet weather, it requires six or seven
pounds, owing to the amount of
moisture collected. The plucking
should not be delayed on account Of
rain or anything else. for the growth
is SO rapid that the leaves soon be-
come too old. The best time for
planting the seed is January, though
they can be planted in the fall, and
must be carettxI'y shaded the first
year. The seed take from two to
three months to vegetate.

Gerrymandering.

Now that the Democr have
gained control of number G;
States. heretofore Republican, the
Radicals are becoming very clamor-
GUS for fair apportjonment; yet
their gerrymandering has long been
notorious. In New Hampshire
eight thousand Republican majority
elects sixty-two members of the
Legislature, while seven thousand
Democratic majority elects but
fourteen. In Now Jersey it takes
ten thousand Democratic majority
in the State to have one majority in
the Legislature. In Indiana about
thirteen thousand Democratic ma
jority is necessary to make tho
Legislature Democratic. In Ohio,
at the last election, with five thou
sand majority in tho State, the
Republicans elected twelve out of
twenty Congressman. In Now
York, although the constitution
requires an apportionment Of the
Legislature every ten years,
yet the Republican Legislature has
persistently refused to comply with
this requisition for the past five
years.; and it takes between twenty
and thirty thousand Democratic
TO capture the Legislature;
