1t is we'll known that Com missioner LIE
Due started @ tea plantation, and it appears
from the agricultural report that it was well
equipped with an iron safe, presumably to
hold the precious crops, but few have known
how very romantic and interesting the enter
prise really was 1t appears, from the facts
brought out during the house debate on the
agricultural appropriation bill, that the res
toration of an ancient colonial mansion, the
establishment of fashionable resort, and the
introduction of East Indian architecture were
included in LIE Dues scheme of tea culture.
The place leased was the country seat of the
first colonial governor of South Carolina, and
the ruins OF his house, burned during the
revolution, still remain, and are Ofteu visited
by pleasure parties. Near by is a big pond,
inhabited by famous old alligator. The place
has 200 acres, thirty clear of trees, and
the lease for twenty years was obtained by
Lr Due for one dollar, which he had specially
coined IN commemoration of the institution
OF tea culture in this country. Inasmuch as
at the end of the lease all the Improvements
were to boone the property of the owner Of
the ground, that person did not make a bad
bargain, for LIE Dues plans were the rich
product OF sanguine and poetic fancy. He
proposed to reconstruct the ancient mansion
after its original design. An Indian bungalow
was to be built on platform, sixty feet in
the air, so as to be above malarious
exhalations. A grand boulevard was to cross
the alligator pond by an ornamental
bridge, pass under the bungalow, and
extend three miles to the railway
depot. The scheme of archi-
tectural reconstruction was abandoned.
for, although the ruins were cleared of rub.
bish and the Oldest inhabitants were consult
ed, the exact design of the old mansion could
not be ascertained, aud, moreover, it was dis
covered that no white man could sleep in the
place during summer and escape the fever.
Work nm the boulevard went on, however,
and in time the matter might have been tested
whether malaria could reach bungalow sixty
feet in air, but before any of the improve
ments could be completed IL Dues tesm ex-

the we'll known poet, died at his home In Cam

Iougfellow was out a part of the forenoon
walking upon the piazza, and on going into
the house complained of being eighty cold.
At dinner he was taken suddenly Ill, and soon
after went to his room, and in a
short time had violent attack OF
vertigo. Sunday he complained Of some pains
In the stomach, and opiates were administered
to allay the trouble and induce sleep. His
condition seemed somewhat improved until
Monday, when dangerous symptoms became
manifest and his family were seriously
alarmed. Tuesday morning these symptoms
assumed an aggravated form, and it became
evident that death was near. Wednesday and
ment and disposition to sleep almost con-
tiuually During the afternoon and even
ing OF Thursday he talked great
deal on various topics, and seemed to
recover large portion of his usual bright
and cheerful disposition. Later in the night
he became partially unconscious and restless.
This morning he revived. though his talk was
somewhat incoherent. This continued until
about an hour before his death. when he
again became UNCONSCIOUS aEu 6uuA dt 1dot u
little past o. clock, suffering but little pain
apparently.
The immediate cause of his death was perl
tonitis. All the family were present at the
time OF dissolution. The people OF Cam
brigde were apprised of his death by the fire
bells tolling the age, IS years, one stroke for
each year. Longfellow has not been In good
health since the death of his intimate
friend Prof. Agassiz. That event
was great shock 10 him and
from it he never fully recovered. For nearly
two years afterward his health was source of
anxiety. He was unable during that time to
enjoy his food owing to impaired digestion,
and liy.d entirely on bread and milk.
THE NEWS IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, March 24.-The Times says. "The
news of Longfellow' death will be read with
deep regret wherever the English language is
spoken The death of no literary English
man could excite more genuine sorrow than
that of the much.loted author of "Evange-
ine." he will be no more sincerely lamented
N America than in this country" The Ne,cs,
Standard, and telegraph, speak in equally
graceful terms of Longfellow.
