ADULTERATRD TEA.


 There is one bill before Congress in which little has been said about it. This is the bill introduced by MT. Hardenbergh of New Jer- sey to prevent the importation of adulterated tea. It provides that after July 1, 1883, it shall be unlawful to import or bring into the United States any adulterated tea. All tea ia to be examined before passing the custom house, to ascertain it's quality and purity, and with reference to it's value and identity as specified in the invoice. Teas found to be adulterated must be reshippsd or destroyed.
 There appears to be abundant cause for the passage of such a bill. A number of prominent importers of teas in New York and elsewhere have sent 8 petition to Con- gress in support of the measure. In this pc ] titioa it is shown that fully twenty per ceut of the 75, ,00O,oo0 or se,O00, QUO pounds oe tea imported is unfit to drink, by reason of adulteration and cheating. Tho yearly con sumption of SO called tea in ttis country is about 6, 1000, 900 pounds. Houses in China and Japan are sending us stuff there is no market for elsewhere. England has shut them off with rigid prohibitory laws She not only refuses to admit adulterated teas but those inferior grades, including tae Canton crops, the refuse of Annoy and Foo chow Oolengs chased as Aukois, the dregs and sweepings of Souchong and Congous, and the common Japan" This stuff is brought here, and various grades and varieties are given the look of first class tea by coloring with Prussian blue, gypsum, antimony, etc.
 MT. Hardenbergh's bill has not received the attention it deserves. It was introduced December 19 and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. The Ways and Means committee had their attention directed to the bill Saturday and referred it to MT. Randall as a subcommittee. It has been sent to the Secretary of the Treasury that it may be per fected in harmony with existing regulations. It ought to be passed and rigidly enforced. Some do not hesitate to say that poor and poisoned tea is a worse evil than strong drink It is certainly very serious one.

Sympathy of the Queen.

Stories innumerable might be told ilIustra- ting the simple goodness of the Queen. She shares alike in the sorrows and joys of her subjects No cottage is too lowly for her Maisstys gracious presence, either as the neighborly inquirer or the ''ministerins an- gel'' in sickness or in sorrow. That quick and generous sympathy embraces all who are in need of consolation. It was given un- stintedly in the fiery trials which befell the ex Empress Eagen1e. It has been freely poured out on the occasion of every national calamity. The Queen has thoroughly identi-
 fed herself with the occasion, whether of gladness or the reverse. Within the past
 few days, many royal presents of game and old linen for the benefit of the inmates of London hospitals have been acknowledged :;
 but they are all put into the shade by gift which has been made to the Netley hospital, where still lie many of the soldiers who were
 wounded in the Egyptian campaign. The other day large parcel was received at the institution addressed in the Queens hand writing to the Lady Superintendent of Nurses. What did it contain :? Five large,
 warm, richly worked wooIen quilts, one of
 which was made throughout by her Majesty,
 another b. tbs Princess Beatrice, and the
 rest by the ladies of the Court, the Queen
 E iding n border to each of these latter quilts
 For whe 8. use they intended? None
 other than lhar of the gallant fellows who
 had bled in 1hs service of their Queen and country s-1h-y have done much for me
 and must do something for them" That
 was the Quet Il essage Fine writing in
 connection sitn incident like this would
 be gildipg refiued gold. Every one can ap- preciate the motive, eloquent of tender
 solicitude, and coming like light in the dark cheerless day of pal:id heroes from Egyp- tian battiefiel,is. These timely gifts will doubtless do much to comfort and console the poor fellO ho lie snug aud warm un- der them, as they think of the noble woman ly heart which Ciotased the deed. But as we have said, that is happily no new lesson.
 The novelty is in the insight which is given into the royal life. All the statesmen who have come in contact with the Queen during her long reign speak with admiration of her devotion to the formal duties of her station, the time she gives to the perusal and con- prehension of dry State papers, and the performance of wearisome routine work
 which she is 10th to delegate to other hands.
 We now get an insight into the manner in which the Queens comparatively rare inter-
 vals of leisure are spent, and very sug- gestive one 1t is. Her Majesty, tho Princess Beatrice, and the fine ladies of the court must have spent many busy hour in knit ting these five quilts for the wounded soldiers -so differently employed from the popular notions of the luxurious idleness of such exalted personages. Not 8 bad subject for an historical picturei
