There are now thousands of fourishing
young plants ready for distribution
throughout the country, and there are
several growing in the grounds that have
been exposed to the weather for two
years. Mr.. Saunders, the superinten-
dent of the grounds and gardens, who is
perhaps the most accomplished gardener
in this country, thinks there will be no
difficulty in cultivating the tea in any of
the States mentioned. He thinks it
might be grown in the form of hedges
aud the voting leaves clipped off by q
machine. The Messrs. Gill are of the
opinion that, ifa sufficient impetus should
be given to tea culture in this country,
machinery of very simple character
could be constructed to do almost every
thing necessary in the process of curing.
They themselves would be willing to put
up curing establishment in suitable
locality, provided plantations large
enough to warrant sufficient supply of
leaves were started.
<'In conclusion it may be proper to ex-
plain that the tea known as English
breakfast tea is made from the same
plant as the other. The leaves acquire
their dark color from the process of fer
mentation to which they are subjected"

We hear with much satisfaction that
the Court of Appeals of Mississippi has,
within few days past, rendered, on a
rehearing, a final judgment in favor oil
our honored friend, Jefferson Davis, re.
storing to him, in full title and interest,
his fine plantation of Brierfeld, Warren
County, Mississippi. The history of the
litigation which has had this happy con-
clusion is of an interesting and even
romantic character. Bakersfield and
Hurricane plantations, now constituting
the whole island, produced by cutoff
Of the Mississippi River, is magni6cen
domain, which was acquired more than
fifty years ago by Mr.. Joseph E. Davis,
the older brother of Jefferson Davis, and
for long time was cultivated with great
profit. Mr.. Joseph E. Davis was a gen.
tleman of great sagacity, strong sense
and enterprise, and became one of the
wealthiest and most influential citizens
of Mississippi.
When his brother JEFF. married the
the daughter of Gen. Taylor and resigned
his commission III the army, Joseph E.
Davis invited his brother to come to
Mississippi and enter upon the life of
cotton planter. Mr.. JEFF. Davis accepted
tho invitation, and. took possession of
Bakersfield, which he cultivated success
fully for many years. Despite his long
withdrawal from the care Of this estate,
Mr.. Davis, with the aid of his energetic
and intelligent present wife, managed to
administer his plantation so as to acquire
competence and reimburse his brother
the full value of the place. Still the
formal title 70 the plantation remained in
Mr.. Joseph E. Davis. When the war
broke out, Mr.. Joseph Davis held this
property beyond the reach of the Federal
government.
And when the President of the de-
feated Confederacy became prisoner at
Fortress Monroe, Mr.. Joseph Davis
made sale of his whole estate to his
long chief manager, colored man,
named Montgomery, for $500, 900, paya-
BILE on long time, with interest at the
rate of per cent. Mr.. Joseph Davis
then made a very complicated and alb
struse will. He was very old man,
diving shortly after, at the age of "a.
His will recognized Mr.. JEFF. Davis chill
dren as legatees for the sum of $50, 900,
to be collected by trustees, of whom Mr..
JEFF. Davis was one, and to be paid to
his children when they obtained MAORI
ty. The balance of his estate was be-
queathed to his (Mr. Joseph E. Davis')
natural children or grandchildren.
AS Mr.. JEFF. Davis youngest child is
but IA, long time would elapse before
anything could be realized from this be-
quest, and as Mr.. Joseph E. Davis had
left evidence that his brother had paid
the full value of the estate, Mr.. JEFF.
Davis finally, with much reluctance on
account of his great love of and respect
for the memory Of his brother, yielded
to the urgent advice of his relatives and
friends, and instituted suit to reclaim
and re-establish his title in the property.
All honest and good men will rejoice
that this patriotic and noble gentleman
and veteran has succeeded in his suit,
and that his declining years will thus be
soothed and defended from the cares
and humiliation of poverty and depend
ence.-M O. PicupIne.

In one of Edgar Poe's stories he
shows how two Sundays can come in one
week. Capt. Boutwell, thus explains it.:
If you establish the city of New York as
as your prime meridian, and despatch
two ships around the world, one by the
route of of Cape of Good Hope and the
other by Cape Horn, they will, when
they meet on the other side Of the globe,
differ day in their time; it may be
Saturday on board of one ship and Sun
day on board of the other. This is owing
to the fact that the planet on which we
dwell revolves to the eastward, and the
sun appearing frst'in the east, it is noon,
or twelve o'clock, on board of the western
bound ship. The ship sailing east gains
time every day, while the ship sailing
west loses time. and when they meet the
differences of time will amount to a day.
He adds that at Samoa he found the
Protestant and Catholic missionaries eel
ebrating different days and both were
right because they sailed by different
routes from Europe.

A Partridge COnquers a Rooster.

At ST. Foye, near Quebec, I beheld p
male spruce partridge engaged ia NOR
tai duello with the Spanish knight-errant
of our poultry yard. The combatants
fought in the manner common to the Gal
hnace oe-eying each other with out
stretched necks and dropping wings. At
each attempt to strike on the part of the
rooster, the partridge, with the repidity
of a flash, would hop, or rather fly, over
the head of his unlucky opponent, and,
both wing and claw with astonishing
effect. At each onset this passing was
repeated several times without intermis-
sion, and then the posture of attack
would be resumed. In this manner the
duello was carried on, round after round,
but it soon became evident that, owing
to his activity and strange and superior
mode of attack, the smaller of the two
opptlents must eventually become the
victor. Feeling his advantage, the little
hero's fury knew no bounds. Striking
from all sides, he punished the unlucky
CheUGlier des DouleS till his crest and
wattles were torn to shreds, and, half
blind, bleeding, and stunned, he became
utterly demoralized, and took to his
heels. Little, however, did his fight
avail him. The partridge, bent on car
rying hostilities to the bitter end, fol-
lowed the rooster, knocking him down
repeatedly by the violence of the blows,
till, vanquished beyond hope, lying fiat
on the sod, hiding his bruised and
bleeding head under tuft of grass,
Gallus surrendered at discretion

The Chinese Question.

Mr.. Willis, of Kentucky, in behalf of
the House Committee on Education and
labor, has made report to Congress on
the Chinese question which says:
"No legislation affecting the Chinese
already here is asked or desired. They
came to this country under the proyi-
sions of treaty which was the result of
the efforts of our own and other nations
to open China to foreign commerce.
Their claim to be protected in the full
enjoyment of all rights and privileges
which they have acquired under the
treaty and Under the law cannot Justly be
denied. It is contended, however, that
the presence Of the Chinese has had a
tendency to degrade, and dishonor labor;
that their personal habits; peculiar in
stitutions and low morals render them
undesirable members of society, and
that they cannot and will not assimilate
with our people, but re main unalterably
aliens in habits, words, politics and as
pirations.
Accompanying the report is the fol-
lowing joint resolution:
WHEREAS, It appears that the great ma jority
of Chinese imini grants are Unwilling to con-
form to our institutions, to become permanent
residents of our country and accept the rights
and assume the responsibilities of citizenship !;
and,
WHEREAS, They have indicated no capacity
to assimilate with our people therefore,
Resolued, That the President of the United
States be requested to open correspondence i'm
me5iately with the Governments of China and
Great Britain with view of securing change
or abrogation of all stipulations i'll existing
treat es which permit the unlimited immigra-
ton of Chinese to the United States.

But never read nothing you wrote, nor did papa
know by his looks.

And they only say, 90 Do stop that child !" or,
''Nurse ! take Miss Edith away"
But papa said if was good could ask you-alone
by myself
If uOtC wouldn't write book like that little
up on the shelf.
don't mean the pictures, of course, for to make
them you've got to be smart;
But the reading that runs all around them you know
just the easiest part.
You needn't mind what it's about, for will
And Jane-that's my nurse-and John-that's the
coachman-just only us three.
You're to write of bad little girl, that wicked
and bold and all that;
And then you're to write, if you please, something
good-Fery good-of a cat!
This cat she virtuous and meek, and kind to her
parents, and Lid,
And careful and neat in her ways, though her mis-
tress was such a bad child
And hours she would sit and would gaze when her
mistress-that's me-was SO bad,
And blink just if she would say, Oh, Edith, you
make my heart sad"
And yet would scarcely believe it, that beauti.
ful, angelic cat
Was blamed by the servants for stealing whatever,
they said, she'd get at
And when John drank my milk-don't you tell me !

They said twas the cat-and she sitting and wash
ing her face in the sun
And then there Dick, my canary. When left
the cage open one day,
They all made believe that she ate it. though knew
that the bird few away.
Ind why? Just because she was playing with a
feather she found on the floor,
As if cats couldn't play with feather without peo-
pie thinking twas more.
Why, once we were romping together when
knocked down q vase from the shelf,
That cat was as grieved and distressed as she had
done it herself
And she walked away sadly and hid herself, and
never came out until tea
So they say, for they sent to bed, and she
came even t. me.
No matter whatever happened it laid at the door
Why, once when tore my apron-she wrapped
in it, and called ''Rat i''-
Why they blamed that on her. / shall neYer-no
not to my dying day
Forget the panied look that she gave me when they
slapped me and took me away.
Of course you know Just what comes next when a
child is lovely as that.
She wasted quite slowly away-it goodness was
killing that cat.
know it nothing she ate, for her taste was
ceedingly Hice
But they said she stole Bobby's ice-cream, and
caught bad cold from the Ice.
And you'll promise to make me book like that little
up the shelf.
And you'll call her Naomi" because it's name
that she just gave herself;
For she'd scratch at my door in the morning, and
whenever I'd call out, &c Who's there ?'
She would answer 90 Naomi! Naomi !" like Chris
tian, and declare.
And you'll put me and her in book. And, mind,
