CURIOUS TEA PARTIES.
The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Arc Held In Pearl Street.

The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Are Held In Pearl street.
There is an everlasting tea party in
function OH Pearl street, near Hanover
SQUARE An aroma of freshly stepped
leaves fills the air all tho week, and fol-
lowing your nose to the cause you will
find it pointing down to little gloomy
Easements where teacups are perpetual
ly spread They are all plain white
cups, and there is no display Of table
cloth or dainty cakes-just plain tea.
And the methods of tho tea parties that
foregather there are just as plain and
unceremonious.
They generally consist of old gentle
men of severely respectable appearance,
and when these old parties feel like it
they 90 down the basement steps and
take pinch Of tea out of caddy or
suacer, or whatever it may be kept i'll,
and put it in the cup and pour little
hot water on it, but never any milk OF
sugar And then, despite their eminent
respectable air, they dip their fingers
in the cups and stir tho tea leaves about
or maybe fish out leaf and un1oll it,
sometimes putting it in their mouths
and chewing it.
But, strangest thing Of all, they new
er drink their tea after all the troubls
they have taken with it. In fact, they
seem to take strong dislike to the III
fusion as soon as it is before them.
Sometimes they sniff at it, and if over
they take it into their mouths they dc
but roll it around and spit it out.
Moreover, they will do the same things
with half a dozen cups in succession
until DR.. Johnson-unless he knew tht
reason-would have cried out at tht
waste of the cheering but uninebriat
ing beverage.
Meanwhile other gentlemen sit als'
at the table and anxiously watch al
this anifling and splitting, for these arr
the tea tasters and samplers, and thl
is where tea is bought and sold not b.
the pound, but by tho carload.-No7

Outing Down Orange Trees.

It does not seom to be understood ont
side OF Florid that the orange growers
OF that State have suffered loss
amounting to many millions OF dollars,
which will require years of labor to re-
pair. In our dispatches from Florida
yesterday it was etsted that the orange
trees arc killed down to the roots, That
means that there will be very few
oranges produced in Florida for the
next five or six years, and 1t will be
much longer than that before the
orange crop will be anywhere near as
largo as 1t WAS last year.
Last years crop was about 5000, 900
boxes, only about half of which was
harvested, the other half having been
frozen upon the srees. II will be
ten years, and perhaps longer, before so
large a crop will be again produced. In
many orchards the roots of the ruined
trees will be budded, and in about fl 20
years small crop Of oranges may be
expected, but 1t will BIO ten OF twelve
years before the trees attain sufflcient
size to produce very profitable crops.
Ii Is gratifying to know that the peo-
pie are not totally disheartened-that
they have gone to work brayely to re-
pair the damage done by the FROST. In
the course Of time, by their indomitable
energy, they will restore their groves,
and Florida will once more be famous
for her orange and lemon groves, but 1t
is saddening to think what an amount
OF suffering must be endured and self
denial practiced before that happy con-
dition Of affairs will be brought about
