TEAs---AHD COW fH1Y ARR ADULr
TERAf8D.

II is pretty genncrally known that
the orthordox teas prepared in the east
for American and European consump-
ton are adulterated, but comparatively
few people aae aware of the extent to
which this adulteration is carried on,
or what substances arc used. NJ. Hussen,
a French chemist Of note, has made a
thorough investigation of the subject,
and the result of his researches has been
laid before alse academy Of sciences.
lie finds that Prussain blue, indigo
and gypsum, in small quantities, arc the
principal ingredients employed to int
part the ''face" or "bloom" to teas, and
that in the proportions used they are
very innocuous.
This adultcration takes place where
the plants are raised but more extern
sive adulteration is subsequently indul-
ged in by the Europeans who, with
their superior kno ledge have surpass-
ed the Asiatics in their fraud by the use
ofstill more dangerous drugs, such as
chromate of lead aud arscnicatc of cop
per, besides making use ofcOmparativc-
~ innocaous substances, such as sui
plate Of iron stcarite, darbonates Of
lime and magnesia.
The Chinese have become most cX-
pert in manipulating green teas which
they color with n few simple substances
some of them poisonous-for example,
plumbago, Prussian blue, curcuma and
kaolin. With or without the true leaf
of the shrub they can produce a tea Of
any desired tint. In order to give the
inferior or false leaf the aroma of the
tea, the Cclestials mix a quantity Of it
with certain flowers especially a species
of olive. In short, according to NJ.
Hussen, no injurious proceeding is omit
ted in the Celestial empiret to palm on
the outer barbarian inferior or false
teas.
In the leading tea growing district
the government has corps OF inspect
ors who are required TO see thae the
goods are despatched in pure state.
The precaution, however, avails little
for at the shipping ports there is no at
tempt to prevent the merchants, or
brokers from commencing their fraud
ulent practices which they carry on TO
their hearts content.
In spite of their knowledge of the ex-
tent to which this adultcration is car
ried Oh we presume our people will con-
tinuc TO drink of the cup which is said
to cheer without stealing away a per-
sons brains.

CONCERNING FROZEN POTATOES.

Concerning frozen potatoes, an Eng.
fish authority writes: ave know of no
plan equal to burying them in the
ground. Dig trench, spread the pota.
toes as thinly as possible, and cover
them with the soil, which should be
mixed with the tubcrs if this does not
remove the frost and leave the tubers
sound nothing will that we are acquain-
ted with. Potatoes that are left in the
GROUND all the winter are usually sound
in the spring though Oh account OF
their ncarncss to the surface it is almost
or quite certain they had been frozen.
We have often observed a potato that
has been partly imbeded, in the soil fro
zen above where exposed and sound be-
low where imbeded, yet the frost must
have penetrated the soil below the po-

Erie, Pa, November l5.-The White
Holden prize.hght may not come off after
all. White arrived yesterday, but Holden
Is not here yet, and Whites friends offer to
bet $1,000 that he will not come. Two
Canadian detectives are reported to be here
watching events. The presiding Judge Of
this judicial district remarked that from
yesterday the full penalties OF the law
would be visited upon oil parties brought
before him for the violation OF the regua-
tons against prize-ighting. This has served
to render the managers unusually cautious,
and it is exceedingly difficult TO obtain re-
liable information. The present intentions
seem to be 10 leave here for Canada at 9 or
3 o'clock A. ". tomorrow and settle the
affair Immediately upon landing, return
ing to Erie in the afternoon. The steamer
Pearl, OF Buffalo, is expected to take the
crowd across the Lake. Some think the
fight will take place on the Peninsula, Just
across Erie Bay. 1t belongs to the general
Government, and the promoters OF the
mill are inclined to the belief that the State
laws can not reach them there.

day Guitcau kept quiet yesterday, salts
del perhaps, to await the result Of his

the force Of remark made in reference to
his ease that the oyerworking Of the in
sanity dodge will be as dangerous to the
murderer us failure to work 1t at oil. :"
Hes certainly taking tome risks in his
performances. People see that he is devil
ish, and all devilish people are more or less
insane. But that trait Of character is not
supposed to carry with it an exemption
from responsibility. As the Cincinnati
Ga,ets Of yesterday well observes,
"No one can pretend that all are equally
subject to moral influences, but we do not
measure the penalty by that. Punishment
comes in to take the place OF moral in
auenccs. 1t Is itself n moral influence. Is
the offender conscious that the thing he
does is forbidden under penalty? Then
he should suffer the penalty, no matter
how streaked his mind"
In this connection We may appropriately
rpublish from recent issue Of the INTEL.
uoEycER the following letter on this subject
written by General Garfield himseltin 1871
to Judge Payne, Of Cleveland:
DEAR RJuDdE-Allow me to congratulate
You on your splendid charge to the jury at
lheclosG of the Gelentine case. The whole
country owes you debt Of gratitude for
brushing away the wicked absurdity which
has lately been palmed Off on the country
as law on the subject OF insanity. II this
thing had gone on much further all that u
man would need to secure himself from the
charge Of murder would be to rave little
and tear his hair little, and then kill his
man. ! hope you will print your excellent
charge in pamphlet form and send It TO all
The Judges in the land. Very truly yours

Interesting Tlgares-The railroad Prob.

The INTELLrGEScER acknowledges the
receipt of most interesting and instruct
i've pamphlet from Mr. Joseph Nimmo,
IT,, Chief OF the Bureau Of Statistics at
Washington, on the subjest Of the "cost oI
transportation" embracing Railroad Con.
Iedentons or pooling arrangements, and
the governmental regulation Of railroads, y
the same being "a part Of the annual re-
port on the internal commerce Of the
United States"
Mr. Nlmmo believes in the government
control Of the railroad system, so far as il
may be necessary to protect the public
interests. lie favors Government Com
mission to that end. He refers TO the ex'
stehce Of such commission in England
Massachusetts, and elsewhere, in order tC
show the good results following from such
supervision. lie believes that the Govern.
ment should require that all rates
shall be made public, and not be
changed without due public notice, and
that railroad companies shall furnish carr
to shippers cquitNbly in proportion tc
orders therefor, and that no preference
shall be awarded to one shipper over an
other O.
The statistics Of the decline OF the cost
Transportation since 1873 are most inter
