Philadelphia Relics.

We must respectfully suggest that our
neighbors in Philadelphia, says the New
York Tribune, have rather a ghOul-like
taste in antiquities. They are sending
plenipOtentiarics to England, and moving
heaven and earth to get possession of as
many of Penn's bones as can be scrapcd
out of his grave to place under their pub
lie buildings. Yet they are allowing one
of the most singular relics of the olden
times to be destroyed, relic that has n
perpetual living interest. The famous old
Botanic Garden of John Bartram is offered
for sale, and unless the city OF some indi-
Vidual interferes will soon be laid out in
town lots. John Bartram, as our readers
naturalist, who from his earliest childhood
gave himself up to the study of trees and
herbs. He laid out this Botanic Garden
in an almost unbrOken forest on the bank
of the Schuylkill, and travelled thOus-
ands of miles on foot to procure speci-
mems. His whole life was spent i'll this
work Linn9us pronounced him the
greatest of natural botanists. In the
Garden, overgrown with weeds as it is,
still stand the giant trees, 1872 years old
which he carried home in slips in his pack
from the wildernesses of the West, OIL
which were sent to him by naturalists
from Europe and Asia. The stone dwell
ling, with its inscription, God protect
John and Ann Bartram, 1871" still stands
in which the old botanist, then so years Ot
age, received Washington, Franklin, Tai
leyrand and every noted foreigner who
visited the Colonies and came to pay re
spect to him. The Garden with its his
tory, is still well known to European
botanists.

The Opium Traffic.

Our English cousins are growing with
every month more uneasy in conscience
as to the double iniquity first, of compel
ling the Burmese to raise opium, and
secondly of forcing the Chinese to buy it.
The Englishman has an unfortunate inter
nal construction. He wants money and
will have it, even if he wrings the life out
of a weaker nation to give it to him, yet
he is tOrmented by a conscientious love of
fair play, which forces him to cry "Hands
offv' to himself 1t is quite in keeping
with this national characteristic to find in
one column of the London Times the full
report made by Chief Commissioner Atch-
ison, of British Burmah, on the change
coming over the Burmese in consequence
of the use of this drug. 1t destroys the
nerves, emacatcs and diseases the body,
enfeebles future generations, and fills the
iails." He had received deputatiOns from
the most influential of the Burmese, pro
testing against the misery forced on theil
people by the Government traffic i'll opium
In another column we are given counter
testimony to prove that all Oriental pcO
pies must have stimulant, and that while
the children born of parents who habit
ually take opium are strong and not too
numerous, those who are born i'll an alec
hol-drinking community are predisposcC
to idiOcy and disease. John Bull not Onl!
belongs to that class whom Hawthorne call
the 'unfortunates who are able to SCI
both sides of question:" but to the still
more unfortunate who know the best rOa'
and persistently follow the worst. No
