SwindIing by Wholesale.

The various frauds unearthed by the
fostotflce Department recently, give
new emphasis to the fact that if. as
some claim, Immortality is denied to
other people, the fools do not die. The
texas Gift Concert Enterprise received
100000 and distributed SO, 900 or 81,
900, the first prize of $4,000 going to
confederate who was paid $500 for
personating the lucky man.
One Henry p. Jones, in New York.
sends autograph letters overthe country
to his cousin, "who left the army after
the war, and whose name, the same as
the correspondents to whom he is writ
ing, "Jones" has seen in the directory.
"Jones" says he is agent for lottery.
and will arrange it so that his "cousin''
shall draw the prize on an inclosed
ticket because it will be good adver-
tisement if he goes around among his
friends and neighbors proclaiming his
good luck. In few days Burnett
writes to "Jones' cousin;" that is
to say, he sends letter to the same
parties in different parts of the country
whom Jones' addressed, saving that
the correspondent thus addressed has
drawn watch worth $500, on which,
for packing, registering, etc., he is al
lowed commission of So. The dupe
sends his S., and "Burnett" sends an
other letter announcing that r" JONES'
had no authority to send him lottery
ticket free. He thereupon demands SIS
more-the price of the ticket-which
the dupe sends him, and the CORE
spondence closes.
Another letter flooding the country
announces that the receiver of it, hav-
ing remitted the proper amount due,
has secured title to certain shares in the

The dupe chuckles at the mistake that
has been made, orders the certificates
forwarded and receives them. Then
follow sundry assessments upon the
stock as long as the innocent will stand
it.

A Stored Piano Restored.

Some of the peculiar phases of New
York life, its rascalities, its vicissitudes,
may be demonstrated by the history of
a piano. A lady, born to fortune, had
given her on her marriage, as we'd
ding present, piano. 1t was favor
tie instrument, and was in times of
wealth transported to and fro when the
family went into the country or re-
turned to the city. One summer, five
years ago. the expenses of transporta-
ton being heavy, it was agreed that
music should be dispensed with, and
the piano was stored in New York. On
the lady's return to the city that fall,
the storage receipt was presented, but
the piano was not to be found. There
were grand pianos and cottage pianos,
but not the particular instrument. Had
the piano fownP Diligent inquiry was
made, but without success. Then the
lady commenced series of inquiries
on her own account. The actions of a
discharged clerk In the storage bust
ness were followed up. 1t seems he
had levanted the piano, which he had
hired out to q music teacher. This
music-teacher, none too honest, had
had money advanced on an instrument
which did not belong to her, and, of
course, not being able to pay the mon
ey, the piano had been seized and sold.
Now it came into the hands of third
party, who sold it to a fourth. Then
the piano figured regularly at bogus
auction sales, where I" the entire furni-
ture of gentleman going to Europe "
was to be disposed of. To give it an
outside appearance of freshness, the
thirty-year-old piano was nicely var
nished. This piano had the honor of
appearing in mock-auction trial. Its
insides must have been solidly built,
for it withstood all the banging and
abuse which were heaped upon its poor
keys. But after the mock-auction trial
all traces had been lost. At last, some
four months ago, a son of the lady,
gifted with memory and fine ear,
went to a Sunday-school concert in one
of the suburbs of the metropolis. The
first chords of u piano, as it chimed in
as an accompaniment to "Kiss him for
his mothers sake" struck his ear.
He was not bored to death with the
music, but stood it out to the end.
After the performance he went to the
piano, tried it, and recognized it as the
instrument over which, as a boy, he

The Old Maids Beverage.

The districts of China which supply
the greater portion of the teas exported
to Europe and America lie between the
twenty fifth and thirty-irst degree of
north latitude, and the best districts
are those between twenty-seven and
thirty-one degrees (Fortune.) The
plants are raised from seed, kept over
winter in moist earth and planted in
March three or four feet apart and look
like garden of gooseberry bushes,
and they bear from the fourth to the
twelfth year, both inclusive. The
leaves are plucked by hand, chiefly by
women; and the season is from the
earliest spring to the end of June. The
first gathering is the best, afterward
the leaves become tougher. The mode
of drying and roasting the leaves gen.
orally and the sp 3ifc processes by
which the green and black teas are sew
orally prepared, have been infinitely
described by Mr.. Fortune, and from his
description, somewhat condensed we
learn: First, that in the process of dry
ing, the leaves are roasted, in such a
way as necessarily to bring about many
chemical changes within the substance
OF the leaves themselves, producing
the various favors, odors and tastes
which distinguish the different teas.
Secondly, that the mode of handling,
by which the leaves are converted re-
spectively into green and black teas, is
the cause of the different colors of
these two main varieties. Thus for the
green teas: 1. The leaves are roasted
almost Immediately after they are gath
cred. 2. They are dried off quickly
after the rolling process. The whole
operation is speedy and simple. Black
teas: /. They are spread out for some
time after they are gathered, in the air.
2. They are then further tossed about
until they become soft and fiaccid. 3.
They are now roasted for few
minutes and rolled; after which
they are exposed to the air for a
few hours in soft and moist site. 4.
Lastly, they are dried slowly over char
coal fires. 1t is by heightened expo
sure to the air, therefore, in the process
of drying, accompanied by, perhaps, a
slight heating and fermentation, that
the dark color and distinguishing flavor
are impaired to black teas of COM
merce. The produce of different dis
tricts varies in quality and flavor with
the climate, the soil and the variety of
the plant cultivated, as well as with the
period at which the leaves are gath
cred and with the mode of drying
them. 1t may be fresh information for
our readers to be told that though tea
is used only as an illusion, it has been
long known that the spent leaves con-
tain the elements of one of the most nu-
tritive of vegetable substances; and are
only not used on account of the almost
universal toughness of the leaves of the
China teas supplied to foreign coun-
tries. But this toughAess does not OBJ
tain in the case of japanese teas, whose
leaves may be advantageously eaten
either with salt or sugar.
For imparting nice, uniform color,
or skin, to green teas, the Chinese use
a mixture. of Prussian blue and plaster
of Paris (sulphate of lime), the guam
tity varying slightly with the amount
of color required. This they do to
please the purchasers, but never use

colored tea themselves How far this
small quantity may prejudice health is
not quite clear, but there is less doubt
about the pernicious qualities of an
adulterated tea largely manufactured
by the Chinese, under the name of lie
tea. This consists of the sweepings
and dust of the tea warehouses, &C.
mented together with rice-water and
then rolled into grains. IL is made to
resemble either black to initiate caper.
or green to resemble gun-powder, and
is manufactured professedly for the
purpose OF adulterating the better sorts
OF tea. The cleverness exhibited in
the manufacture of the different kinds
OF he-tea is something really surpris-
ing, and so close is the imitation in
many cases that much practice and
skill are required for It's detection. Our
Investigations hitherto disclose the fact
that the better brands of he-tea consist
OF the dust of tea only, made up into
little masses, or of this dust mixed with
that of foreign leaves, but the great
bulk of the lie-tea met with is COM
pounded of tea-dust; with sometimes
the dust of leaves other than tea, and
large quantities of mineral matter. of
which slick and magnetic oxide of iron
form considerable proportion, the
masses of pellets being colored with the
substances already mentioned, and
some others. San Francisco NeaDS.

" What style shall show you?'
For more than three weeks she had
had her mind made up for pair which

OBED'S SUBSCRIPTION.

"'Let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed lest he fall That was the
parsons text this morning, and it re-
called circumstance in our early mar
ried life about which sat thinking all
through the service, and which, had 1

"Relate it to me-" 1 urged. "It

My friend, at whose house l was stay
ing, led the way out on the back piazza,
and after placing me in a shaker
rocker, seated herself in another, and
began:

expenses. But l had little income,
with which and my Yankee capacity
l managed to make both ends of the
year meet. Obed had plenty of money
in prospect, but none in pocket; so, up
on the whole, we were extremely poor,
pinched for money at every turn, but
nobody suspected it. l had a hand

lasted me for five years without the ac-
tual purchase of new article. / was

those years of self-sacrifce, of a most
tiresome economy, in order that we
might keep out of debt. But we were
young and hopeful, and we often had a
little laugh at our own expense, as when
dressed for church or a visit, Obed
would say, Nell, you're dressed like a
Princess, and haven't dollar in the
world; one would think to see you that
we rolled in wealth. while l would
gayly remind him that all that glitters
is not gold l remember l had one
costume of unusual beauty and rich
ness which he never liked me to wear
because it seemed to him like making q
false impression, and so it lay folded in
my trunk until half ruined, in order, as
Obed said, to avoid the appearance OF

had passed many an hour. With this
clue, aided by his mother, who proved
herself detective of the first class.
they harked back, and, after tracing
the piano through all its tribulations,
they had such absolute proof of the
identity OF the instrument that the pro-
prietors of the storage establishment
bought the piano, returned it to the
original owners, paying the expenses
incurred in the search. 1t must be
stated that the storage people were
quite willing to pay the value of the
piano at the outset, but with singular
love for the instrument, the owner of it
insisted that she would have none other
than her own piano.-N. z. Times.
