Later 00, speaking of Mrs. Dumont, a famous teacher of her time, Mr. Eggleston Mays: "I can see the wonderful old lady now, as she was then, with her capo pinned awry, rorking her splint-bot-t ia chair nervously while she talked. Full of all manner of kuowledge, gifted with something very like eloquence iu speech, aboundiug in affection for her pupils and enthusiasm in teaching, she moved us strangely. Being infatuated with her, we became fanatic in our pursuit of knowledge, so that the school hours were not enough, and wo had a "lyceum" in the eve- : r 1 1 1.1 m .1

a club for the study of history. If a recitation became very interesting, the entire school would sometimes be drawn into the discussion of the subject; all other lessons went to the wall, books of reference wer6 brought out of her library, hours were consumed, and many a time the school session was prolonged nntil darkness forced us reluctantly to ajourn."

A Delight U Ids tenor. A good story is told of ex-Gover

nor Magaflin, of Kentucky, who is a good talker and likes to do most of ! the talkiag himself. Recently, in I making the j uroey from Cincinnati to Lexington, he shared his seat in the car with a bright-eyed, pleasantfaced gentleman. Tbe Governor, af- j ter a few commonplace remarks, to I

which his companion smiled and nodded assent, branched into a descrip

tion of tbe Heenes that he had witneaaed In different parts of the country, grew eloquent over the war, doscribed with glowing speech the horse-races he had wltuessed, talked learnedly of breeding, und told thrilling stories of his battles with tho Indians iu the Northwest. The hours slipped rapidly away, and when the train was nearing Lexington the two exchanged cards and parted with a cotdial shake of the bauds. Tho Governor drove to au inn, and to a number of friends he remarked that the ride had never seemetl so short before. "Then you must have had ploasaut (ompany aboard." "You are right. I met a gentleman of unusuul intelligence. We couversed all the way over. I nevur was brought in contact with a more agreeable man." "Indeed! Who was he?" asked his friends. " Wait a minute;

I have his eard," and tho Governor

felt in his pockets and produced the bit of pasteboard. "His name is King." "Not Dob King?" shouted a dozen iu one voice. "Yes, gentlemen; Ulbert King. That is the way the card reads," was tho proud reply. A roar of laughter followed. " Why, Governor, Dob King is as deaf as a post. He was horn deaf and dumb."

the Evening Fosl has obtained analyses of a number of samples bought at retail groceries, the results of which are given herewith, Tbe difference in the taste and bou quet of teas usually sold in this country is almost wholly due to the methods used in preparing the leaves for tbe consumer. A biief sketch of tbe methods of tea-making will show how this is done. BLACK. TKA PROPEB, this is, souchong, pekoe, congou, etc., or what we English call breakfast tea, is generally picked from plants in the mountainous regions of China, where the shrub, growing among rocks and ledges, has a struggle for existence, and acquires a more hardy character than it does on the wellfertilized level lands and cultivated

Besides the coloring mixture for green tea, heretofoie mentioued, a number of other substances have been used: rose pink, Dutch pink (which is realty yellow), catechu, Chromate of lead, sulphate of iron, Venetian red, oaibocate of copper, Chromate of potash, indigo, carbon

It Cannot Be. 8ald Ptentice: "It cannot be that earth is man's only abiding place. It cannot be that our life is a bubble cast upon the ocean of eternity, to float a moment upon its surface, and then go into nothingness and darkness forever. Else, why is it that the high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts are forever wandering abroad unsatisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud come over with a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us to muse on their i'aded loveliness? Why Is it that the stars which hold their festival around the midnight throne, ure set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory? And finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to the view, and then taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of the affectiout to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts.

Killed by a Quack. Logansport Chronicle. The report that Mrs. Mercy Howes died last Monday from the effects of tape-worm remedy administered by "Dr." Daker turns out to be true as the report sent to the Doard of Health confirms it, so that really this socalHd "Doctor" Daker, who is an ignorant clod-hopper isdlrectly responsible for the death of Mrs. Howes.

The Chronicle called the attention of of its readers a few weeks ago to the neccessity of legislation against these quacks, and w think the medical fraternity of Logansport owe it to themselves to petition tbe legislature in regard to this. Quacks ure abolished in other states atfd why Indiaua snould be a refuge for all these scalawags is beyond comprehension.

GREEN TEA the gunpowder, imperial, young hyson, hyson and twonkay tea- is an Imposition from the start. Honestly it could never reach a higher claim to be oalled green than oolong itself, but such a demand exists for arti flcialiy-colored tea that the coloriug process is applied while curing in China, and the practice has now become so general that it is probable that nothing will ever cause its discontinuance. Yet this celoring matter not only adds nothing intrinsically to the tea except weight, but it contains one of the deadliest poisons known. Fer the sake of a pretty outside, therefore, the world contentedly consents to drink annually thousands of pounds of Prussian blue, ot which prussic acid is one of the constituents. Green tea is thus made: At the usual picking times, the dealers go into the tea country from the coast, buy the tea from the producers for several miles around and proceed to make what is called a "chop" of tea. All the leaves received are treated alike. They are heated in copper pans, and from this practice arises the old woman's story that the green color is imparted by the eopper. This green is given by a mixture of Prussian blue and China clay and some yellow organic coloring matter, sometimes turmeric, or yellow extract of willow bark. Each leaf, which has been carefully rolled into a compact, unbroken pellet of small size in the curing, is picked out by the long nails of tbe Chinese laborers. This is then graded as extra gunpowder. The same sized leaves whioh have not rolled into so shapely balls as the highest grade of gunpowder are picked out for the second and third grades.

An co.ong t a is mixed with a small proportion of green tett, so that the taste of the compound is different from either of its constituents. This is then packed in onepound packaged with wrappers apparently of China oiigin, and it is sold ua the genuine unuolored natural loaf, such as the Chinese themselves use. A circular is given with each package setting forth the dangers of

using artificial-colored tea, and thousands of pounds are thus sold to a

! confiding public. The success of 1 this trick "isajit ipPwtrTuga one to hope that genuine colored fea Would

sell well if any one would import it. Unfortunately every (Tut to sell this tea has been a failure. The natural leaf tea hasakind of a bilious yellow color, reminding oae of diied willow leaves, and no one will buy it. The public likes tbe nice green color, aud a little Prussian Hue has no terrors for the inveterate tea diinker. The questiou will naturally b asked is this coloriug matter injurious to health? If a teaspoDuful of green tea be placed iu a cup, and boiling water poured on, a layer of mineral matter caught up in an emulsion will be seen to float on the surface; this layer wedrink when green tea is used It is true that the majority of the mineral matter sinks to the bottom of tbe cup, but the quantity held in this layer which floats ou the tea, which can easily be seeu by tryiug the experiment, is not inconsiderable. As the percentage of Prussiau blue present is so very small, when we consider that "celestial blue" only contains about one-third of this substance, its effect upon tbe human system, even by its continued use, could scarce be appreciable, as it is itself a more or less mild substance, being often used in eases of fever, and possessing tonic properties when used in small quantities. The yellow coloring matter, which is called Dutch pink, is composed, as stated, of carbonate of iime and a yellow ptlncipal usually extracted from the willow. This substance, which only constitutes part of the Dutch pink, may be left out of consideration when considering the injurous properties of the coloring matter. Tho whole question resolves Itself into a simple question of fact: Is the mineral matter used (independent of the Prussian blue) INJUBIorS TO HKALTU by its continued use? I can only say that when it is possible to obtain a green tea direct from China, free from added coloring matter, we had better encourage its importation in th:s pure Mate rather than to continue using green tea Colored tea Is sold in this marked simply be cause its color Is pleasing to the broker or the grocer, for the person who drinks tbe tea rarely, if ever, sees the color of it before it is poured into the cup to be drank. The samples of tea examined were as follows, all of which were colored: No. L Young Hyson, inferior, much dust. No, 2- Young Hyson, no foreign leaves. No. 3. Young Hyson, no foreign leaveg. No. 4.

The mishap which befel a party , from Dos ton recently in Philadelphia has caused much merriment in that, city as well as in New York, where tbe unfortunates are quite well

The young relative who bought tbe lickutte u the morning asked tbe ticket-seller whether there wouki be any "coarse jokes" or "improper allusions" during the performance. He simply asked because the "Cliffords from Doston were coming." . (The name is fictitious, but the story is true.) He was informed that "hardly ever" was there anything cut of the way at tLe abode of minstrtlsy. The evening came; a large audience filled the house; the overture was played and oue of tbe "end men" approached his fit st j ko. Suddenly up rose the rest of the band, and motioning excitedly to "bones,' murmured; "Hush? be careful; the Cliffords, from Doston, are he ah." At first the audience did not understand the joke, but when it was repeated the annyance of the party alluded to beoame so manifest that peals of. laughter shook the house. At the third or fourth tepetition "tbe Cliffords" could stand it no longer, and indignantly left the ball. - Washington Sunday Chroiict. - 1 iae.-s ajanaai , . Head. By Uub. Any one who has seen tbe rivalry, of tbe contestants lit a western spelling-school will appreciate this incident from Edward Eggieston's reminiscences of his cehool days, published in the March Scribner. He say:. "It was in the same old Bethel School house, about the same time, that the master, one Deneflel, called' out the spelling class of which my mother, then a little girl, was usually at the head. The word given out was "onion." 1 suppose tbe scholars at the bead of the class had not recognized the word by its spelling in studying their lessons. They all missed il widely, spelling it in the most ingeniously incorrect fashions Near the foot of the class stood a boy who had never been able to c limb up toward the head. Hut of tbe few words he did know how to spell, one was "onion." When the word was missed at the head he became greatly excited twisting himself into the most ludicrous contortions as it oame nearer and nearer to bins. At length the one just above the eager boy missed, the teacher said said "next," whereupon he exultiugly swung his hand over his head aud came out with, "O-n, un, i-o n, yun. ing-un, I'm head, by gosh?" and he marched to the head, while the amstc-r hit him a blow across the shoulders for swearing. An eminent French coachmaker says; "I never build two carriages exactly alike, not because I do not build each one -is well as I know how, but in t uilding that I learn how to make the next one better. Wh u I place these carriages of mine iu tbe exposition building; I thought them perfeot, but now that I have spent three mouths looking over the carriages of other builders, I see that they arc not so."
