VIM. H. LEE THINKS HE IS STILL HosPI-
tai SUPERINTENDENT, AND WANTS
HIS YEARS PAY.
1t will be remembered that VIM. Fl.
lee, Superintendent Of the City Hospi-
al, who wes reelected to that posi- lion
by City Council in October last, was re-
moved within two months after his
slG Gction by the action of Council in de-
cding TO discontinue the hospital. The
removal was effected by the passage Of
an ordinance reporting an ordinance
providing for the appointment of Su-
perintendant of the City Hospital.
Since then Mr.. Lee has continued to
,uffelanu of City Council,lt being DEEM
ed better to h. We a tenant than to allow
the building to remain vacant. Mr..
Lee, howe yer, in addition to availing
himself of this privilege, considers him
self entitled to his salary for year, and
regularly each month calls upon the City
Treasurer with a request for his months
salary. or course, the Treasurer does
not have a check for Mr.. Lee, but ht
calls for 1t all the same. He takes this
action at the advice of counsel, as he has
decided to enter suit against the city fol
the balance of a full year's salary, and
tD6 case Will uOuDbioeb Coiuo up db bue

suit on the grounds that the ordinanc,
by which his office was abolished wa'
not legally adopted, as no notice had
been given of any intention to introduce

Ball, Esq, is his counsel,

says "A gentleman familiar with
many of the secrets of the Republi-
can party says that Don Cameron
has been promised the post Of Sec
retary of War in the event of Gar

labor heartily for the success of the

that Marshall Jewell telegraphed
Don Cameron at the White Sulphur

day last week, to consult on amatter
of personal interest to the Senator
from Pennsylvania. Cameron tele-
graped back to Jewell that he would
meet him, although it disarranged
other engagements previously made.
The two politicians met and Jewell,
on behalf of Garfield, made the pro-

How Teas Are AduIterated.

1t is pretty generally known that the
orthodox teas prepared In the East for
American and European consumption
are adulterated, but comparatively few
people are aware of the extent to which
this adulteration is carried on, or what
substances are used. M. Hussen, a
French chemist of note, has made a
thorough investigation of the subject,
and the result of his researches has been
laid before the Academy of Sciences.
He finds that Prussian blue, indigo and
gypsum, in small quantities, are the
principal ingredients employed to i'm
part the "face," or "bloom, f" to teas,
and that in the proportions used they
are very innocuous. This adulteration
takes place where the plants are raised !;
but more extensive adulteration is sub
sequently INDUCED in by the Europeans,
who, with their superior knowledge,
have surpassed the Asiatics in their
fraud by the use of still more dangerous
drugs, such as chromate of lead and ar
senicate of copper, besides making use
of comparatively innocuous substances,
such as sulphate of iron, stearite, car
Donates of lime and magnesia. The
Chinese have become most expert in
manipulating green teas, which they
color with few simple substances, some
Of them poisonous-for example, plum
bago, Prussian blue, curcuma and kao-
lin. With or without the true leaf of
the shrub, they can produce tea of any
desired tint. In order to give the in
ferior or false leaf the aroma of the tea,
the Celestials mix quantity of it with
certain flowers, especially species Of
olive. In short, according to NJ. Hus-
sen, no injurious proceeding is omitted
in the Celestial empire to palm on the
outer barbarian inferior or false teas.
In the leading tea-growing districts the
Government has corps of inspectors
who are required to see that the goods
are dispatched IN pure state The
precaution, however, avails ittle-for at
the shipping ports there is no attempt to
prevent the merchants, or brokers, from
commencing their fraudulent practices,
which they carry on to their hearts
content. In spite of their knowledge of
the extent to which this adulteration is
carried on, we presume our people will
continue to drink of the cup which is
said to cheer without stealing away a
persons brains.

DO Gnnd Work.

The path to fame by honest merit is
slow and tedious one. A manufacturer
who is SO careful about his products
that he has to put higher price on
them than his less-conscientious neigh
Dor can sell for, may be repaid at first
by small sales and smaller profits. It
takes long time to build up reputa-
ton by excellence, but once acquired it
is like the pearl of great price.
1tismuch the same with the workman as
with the manufacturer. If every stroke
he strikes is solid work, conscientiously
performed, he will acquire reputation,
limited as it may be, that is sure to pay
In the end. We would not conceal or
deny the fact that some men labor un-
der peculiar disadvantages. all men
are not born equal, either mentally or
physically. One is naturally skillful in
one direction, another is expert in many
things. One man may do his
level best, and yet he will not
turn out as good piece of
work as his more skillful brother who
only half tries. Let him not be dis
couraged because he is handicapped in
the race, and may not be able to reach
the top of the ladder. There is room
for honest workmen everywhere even
respectable mediocrity pays better than
brilliancy coupled with trickery.
The native American is distinguished
by his ingenuity and with half a chance
ne makes his mark everywhere. Yet he
sometimes loses the race in competition
with less-able men of other lands, be-
cause their careful training and early
drill in their profession, their long and
severe apprenticeship, has more than
compensated for the want Of natural tact
and ingenuity.
Perseverance will not conquer all
things, but it goes long way toward sue
cess. While luck seems to favor the few,
most men have to carve out their own
success by hard labor, in which fall de-
termination to do everything to the very
best of ones ability counts for more than
is generally supposed. Above all things,
don't waste time in regretting that
another trade was not chosen. If it is
an honest one, stick to it and it will pay.

She Kept the Secret.

Apropos of the Tarrytown-Andrec cen
tennial celebration, the New York Times
tells the following story, which shows
that a woman could keep secret one
hundred years ago:
Mrs. See, an old woman living on the
Bedford Road, about two miles from the
Tarrytown depot, tells picturesque tale
of. succeeding events as it was told her
by the participants. Mrs. See, fanil-
iarly known as "Aunt Betsy" says that
q party of "Skinners'' with their prisoner
went directly to "Mug Tavern" near
White Plains-a hostelry presided over
by Aunt Polly Reed. Strange to say
considering her sex-Aunt Polly was
notorious for her curiosity and inability
to keep o secret. While ham and eggs
were sizzling in the pan for the hungry
SINNERS" Aunt Polly was struggling
to ascertain the identity of the melan-
choly young stranger, who was so hand
somely clothed in blue overcoat, claret-
colored coat, and nankeen waistcoat and
breeches. Finally Paulding seized her
by the wrist and drew her close to him.
Can you keep a secret?"
les, stammered the old woman
with hardly suppressed eagerness.
"We've got British spy"
In three minutes the old woman had
intrusted household cares to her girl, sad
died her white horse, and was gallopine
to the next house, in a place called
"Twitchings." But the fences and
brush proved an obstacle, and Aunt Polly
was forced to make long detour by the
road. The "Skinners" finished their
meal and departed, making straight cut
across the country toward Twitchings. >
As they approached the house they
cauget sight of Aunt Polly flying up the
road on her white horse, daylight show
ing between herself and the saddle al
everp leap. Her hair streamed out be-
hind. In one hand she swung her huge
poke bonnet by the strings, while she
shrieked In a shrill, quavering voice
They've got the id spy! They've
got the id spy!'
