A New Variety of Tea.
New York SUM-

The tea that is always drunk in novels
orange pekoe, is a tea perfumed by lay
ing orange flowers among the tender
young leaf buds, but not produced in
near sufficient quantities for the de-
mands made upon it by the lady novel
lists. A new perfumed tea, however, is
being introduced. 1t is called Fayham
tea, and is expected to soon have the
vogue in literature of orange pekoe. 1t
is even more valuable in life, because it
is described as agreeable cold or hot, and
can be used to flavor custards, and ices,
while in punch its own aroma is even
more fragrantly distilled by the other in
gredient. Fayham tea, it seems, is made
of the f1at-dried leaves of a white orchid
that grows as parasite in the forests OF
Mauritius Its botanical name is An
gracum fragrans. The plant has long
been known but only recently orchid
tea has been introduced in Paris, where
it has since become an article OF COM
meree. But it is not only as tea that
this parasite is making itself reputation
Cigars have also been made of the leaves,
and the vanilla-like odor they emit is
described as worthy the end of the CEN
tury. The orchid of all plants has been
hitherto regarded as the most purely or
namental as it not even fupports itself.
The discovery of a variety that rivals
both tea and tobacco on their own
grounds is regarded of economic impor-
lance, and the probability is that the
orchid, which belongs to the very highest
botanical circles. will yet be cultivated
and numbered with the crops.

THE DAYS WORK.

Do thy days work, my dear,
Though fast and dark the clouds are drifting
near.
Though time has little left for hope and very
much for fear.
Do thy days work, though now
The hand must falter and the head must bow,
And far above the failing foot shows the bold
mountain brow.
Yet there is left for us,
Who on the valleys verge stand trembling thus
A light that lies far in the weSt-soft faint, but
luminous.
We can give kindly speech
And ready, helping hands to all and each, :.
silence teach.
We can give gentle thought
And charity by life's long lesson taught,
And wisdom from old faults lived down. by tot
and failure wrought.
We can give love, unmarried
By selfish snatch of happiness, unjarred
BY the keen aims of power or JOY that make
youth cold and hard.
And if gay hearts reject
The gifts we hold-would fain fare on I'M
checked
On the bright roads that scarcely yield all that
young eyes expect
Why do thy days work still;
The calm. deep founts of love are Slow to chill;
And heaven may yet the harvest yield, the
work worn hands to fill.
All the Year Round.

TIE ELECTION OF SHERIFF CRAM.

TIE ELECTION OF SHERIFF CRAM.
rLewiston Journal
The reelection of Sheriff Cram in
Cumberland county, after a most unex-
ampled effort to defeat him by the liquor
interest, supported by the Democratic
party, is one of the most encouraging re-
suits of the Maine election. When it is
remembered that the liquor interests of
Boston, as well as of Maine, concentrated
their whole power against this faithful
officer, and the Democratic leaders were
ready to lend the powerful influence and
votes $50 far as they could be controlled)
of the Democratic party to defeat him,
it is certainly great triumph for tenn
perance and Acknowledgement that Sheriff
Cram has been reelected.
All honor to the Republican party for
faithfully standing as an organization by
Sheriff Cram, notwithstanding such a
stand involved temporarily the loss of
votes! In the end, we have no doubt
that the present loss will prove to be a
permanent advantage; while on the
other hand the facility with which the
Democratic leaders have fastened to
take sides against an officer for faithfully
undertaking to enforce the laws against
dram-shops and panderers to vice, will
prove to be with thousands an additional
argument against entrusting the Demo-
cratic party with power.
Whatever temporary advantage the
Democratic leaders have gained in our
cities by pandering to the liquor interest
will be found ultimately to be a source
of weakness to the Democratic party in
Maine,

discovered in season to take all the pre-
cautions necessary to prevent the spread
OF the contagion is not reassuring. In
all probability there will be more cases.
There is this comforting fact, however,
that the authorities of New York have
been anticipating the appearance of the
disease in the city, and are therefore
probably prepared to cope with it.
While, therefore, the discovery of the
cases gives reason for apprehension, there
is no call for scare.

Thanks From a Democrat,

To the Editor of the Press:
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept 18th, 1892. Il
wish to write my approval of the editori-
al in Wednesday, PRESS. in which you
say ''Those Democrats in the city and
county who refused to join their party in
the raid on Sheriff Cram are entitled to
great credit Had the leading Republi-
can paper of this part of Maine assumed
to the Republican party all the credit in
the reelection of Mr.. Cram, venture to
say it would have driven many Cram
Democrats to regret the course they took
at the polls Monday. Those Democrats
voted for Mr.. Cram, not because he was
a Republican, but because they believed
him an efficient fearless official and any
other assumption. such as disloyalty to
the Democratic party, or, what amounts
to the same thing, utilization with the
tendency to independent voting for the
best men severe t-back; would have
turned them to some degree against the
man, who, without their help would
have been defeated; would, in short,
have induced return of the old parti-
san spirit to vote for any man the party
hereafter nominated, so long as he was a
Democrat. No man, be he partisan or
independent, can but be embittered at
manifest unfair treatment under which
may be cited wrong imputation as to
motive. Let the press all over the
country treat it's political opponents
fairly. and there will be fewer partisans
in either party as a consequence. For
myself and other Democrats alluded to
in that editorial, / thank the PRESS for

A Good Word for Poles and jews.

The names of the victims of cholera
who died on the Morovia are suggestive:
Rutinisl1i, Schustienitz, Rolnitz, Skutich,
Observation-Disclosures Jews. 1t will not
do, however, to be too skeptical of the
value of like raw material for American
citizenship. Kosciusko, a Pole, was a
valiant friend of the colonies during the
Revolution. One of the most valued con-
tributors to this journal a decade ago,
Rev. Dr. F. N, Zabriskie, was member
of celebrated Polish family which early
settled in New Jersey. And then there
is Paderewski. mot jews" you say.
No race emigratinG to this country is so
intensely loyal or so thoroughly alive to
the duties of citizenship as the Hebrew
race. Moreover no people cast so few
burdens upon the community in the
shape of paupers, inebriates, insane OF

Dr.. jenkins. who has charge of the
New York quarantine, has probably done
the best he knew with regard to the
cholera slips, but his conduct of affairs
has not been such as to commend him as
man of executive capacity to be relied
upon in an emergency. The bite, feel
ing of the passengers of the detained
ships against him is natural and under
the circumstances justifiable.

see their way clear to elect Mr.. Philip W.

one in which we cordially concur. 1t

more fully qualified for that position
