It inspires some sort of confidence to know that the wholesale adult«ration once so common in China teas is no leia- ger tolerated here or in America, whish ranks as the second largest consumer, aud that the Celestials have thomselves partial- ly recognized the injury which these adul- teratious worked ‘to their trade. But that they bave not completely abandoned their old tricks is proved by the fact that our own customs authorities find it necessary to reject consignments now and again for heavy ‘‘facings,’’ and that the Aierican customs not long ago rejected a shipload, but there has ceituinly been an improve- ment since the days when pluimbsuzo was used to iinparta smooth and glossy ap- pearance; when prussian blue, turmeric, cbina clay, indigo and gypsum were judi- ciously mixed to produce the different shades of blue or green required; when ‘lie tea’’— made up of tea dust and sand, with starch and coloring matter to form it into small masses and to make it resem- ble genuine gunpowder—was consumed in this country to the extent of 1,000,000 pounds a year, and when slos, licorice, chapparal (specially imported into China from California) and ash tree leaves, with 40 per cent of iron filings, constituted a respectabie proportion of every pound one purchased.

TO A LADY OF SEVILLE.

Thy mouth is like the Alexandrine rose. Thy broidered girdle clasps a slender waist. Who looks into thine eyes’ soft splendor knows That there two worlds of poetry were placed. The color in thy young cheek richly giows. A modei is thy throat, thy tender hand. Thy feet scarce crush the puppy cup that blows In scarlet flame o’er Andalusian land. The silkworm envies thee thy dusky hair. Not threads so soft and shining doth he spin. But all who come to woo thee soon despair, For ali that wayward heart have failed to win. May not a bolder su:or qmetines dare The poetry within thine eyes to read, Yo learn the secret that is written there And know at last that thou art won indeed, Oh, maiden of the south, of beauty rare, In all Sevilla fairest of the fair? —From the Spanish of T. De Asenasi.

A GEORGIA ROMANCE. Foundation of One of the Largest and Best Families In the State.

A writer in the Savannah News has been delving into the records of a hundred years ago. Among the fruits of his toil he has unearthed a pretty romance.

A beautiful girl resided not far from Sa- vannah, beloved by all who knew her. Her handsome brother was found early one morning in a corner of the riceffeld dead, a single tiny puncture near the brave heart showing where a gallant’s blade had Grief in his sister’s heart

In some way she learned thata young South Carolina gallant had dealt the fatal blow. He was even then on his way to Spring Hill to cross theriver by night and goon to Charleston. Screaming to her

Maternal Solicitude.

Never marry a homely man if you would fead a happy married life, my daughter. A handsome man takes it for granted that all the women admire him, and he takes no particular notice of them, buta homely man thinks that every woman who lovks at him is in love with him.— Boston Tran- script.

Insincerity.

She screamed and spurred her horse straight over the steep bank of the stream and, risk- ing life and limb, gained.the sandy shore. Falling froin her exhausted steed she drew her blade. Useless—the boat was al- ready ten feet out. She rushed to her horse, sbatched a huge pistol from the up- permost holster and fired point blank at the young man’s broad chest. The ball broke his arm. He fell. At herimperious command the terrified nogroes brought the boat to the shore. Several gentiemen on board restrained her and lifted the wound- ed man. Under the overhanging banks of the stream, lying on the same clouk, mid the glare of pine torches, she found this was not the man she sought. A mutual love began that night. ‘hey were married, and from them are descended ons of the largest and best families of Georyia,
