 Business.
 IR J. Dc Cordova in the New York star.l
 Everybody has heard of tea, but it is not everybody who will drink it, and it is given
 to only a comparative few to know how to prepare good tea for the table, The tea drinkers are, firstly, the Russians; secondly, the English, the Irish, the Scotch of the bet ter classes, the Americans of the New Eng land and the middle States of North Ameri- ca, and of the western States, including the Pacific slope, and the British in the various colonies of the British empire. The Ger mans and Austrians drink but little in com parison with other European people, while the Danes and Swedes are free consumers of the leaf. Few Spaniards ever drink tea. The Orisntals (except in the British empire of India, where tea is drunk by the Eurcpeens) are not tea drinkers.
 The Chinaman and the Japanese are tea ! drinkers, but the people of both China and Japan drink tea very moderately, and they I invariably drink it boiling hot. The Rus sians, and especially those of the lower class l es. drink tea habitually, as do also the Japa- nese. The French drink tea very sparingly, and scarcely ever except as medicine. When any lady who happens to be troubled with nervousness calls in the aid of a physician l the almost universal medicine ordered is 6 cup of tea, which remedy is speedily fol lowed by tstisane,' which has not the most
 remote affinity with the celestial leaf; and as very little is to be found in the drug shops 1T France, chest of tea lasts very long time 1 in the possession of the druggist, and ii l therefore of too poor quality to be usefu 1 for tea as medicine.

CONVICT LAROR.

The people of Massachusetts are not satis- fled that the convict labor problem has been solved by the change which was recently made in that State. Indeed, they have rea- son to think that it has only been made more complicated. Before the change the convicts earned their own living, and a small surplus remained after paying all the expenses of the prison. Last year the cost of the State prison was more than ninety thousand dollars, drawn from the State treasury, besides the earnings of the prisoners. -5: s-f. H This state of things has been brought about under law which was intended to change matters so as to escape the comperi- tion of prison labor with honest labor out side Under the present law the convicts may be employed in making articles for use in the prisons, and may do some other work under restrictions which will prevent it's competition with outside labor, and will also prevent the eonvicts from learning or prac- ticing any trade or employment as it is prac ticed in shops or factories outside. The law contains other provisions which cannot be fully put into operation, because they are actually impracticable. The Worcester Spy exposes the humbug of the present system as follows: The goods made for sale in the prison without machinery will cost more in labor than like goods made outside, and this added amount of labor is intended to make it impossible to sell these products in comps- tition with others. But as they are made for tke State's account the State must sell them, and at such prices as can be obtained. They will, therefore, compete in the market with other goods of like character. They will be an addition to the general stock of such goods, and the State must make it's price low enough, regardless of cost of production, to make it worth somebody's while to buy these in preference to other similar goods. A private manufacturer could not sell goods for less than their cost without running him self, but the State has a deep treasury, with two millions of people to keep it full, and can, if the people prefer it, spend few hun- dred thousand dollars a year in pretending to keep honest labor free from the competition of oonvicts, while in fact the competition is the same, and besides the honest laborers are obliged to pay the cost of supporting the prisoners, who might earn their own living if the prison officers were allowed to employ them under rational system.
 This is very clear. The demagogues and ignoramuses who have been posing as friends of the workingman have made no more con vincing exhibition of themselves than in the way they have dealt with the convict labor problem

 The Manchester Mirror has been trying to find out what the Republicans of New Hampshire think about the next presidential candidate, and has received replies from over 250 of the 800 approached. The an swers show considerable variety of opinion, but are doubtless fairly indicative. Blaine is the favorite of 129 of the 253 who ex- pressed their preferences, John Sherman of 39, Conkling and Edmunds of 15, Robert Lincoln and General Sheridan of 12, and Harrison, Hawley, General Sherman, Ali son, Hoar and Judge Gresham, with one, two and three votes, complete the list. Lin ooln leads in the list for second place, being the choice of 43 of the Blaine men and re- ceiving number of votes in conjunction with other candidates for first place. Harri- son comes next to Lincoln in the expression of preference. An opinion was also invited on the availability of candidates from per
 sonal preference, and here the result is still more divergent. General Sheridan leads
 with 73, followed by John Sherman with 42, Blaine with 3s, Lincoln with 19, and dozen others with lesser numbers.
