HT The New Orleans Price Current estimates
that the cotton crop, (or the year just closed,
with tome 250,000 balea deficiency in quantity, has
realted an aggregate which shows some $16,000,-
000 «tew over the aggregate of last year. Such
has been the advance in prices.

to the dry weather.
The Matagorda Chronicle chronicles " a visit

have been like those of angels, "Few and far be-

HW The editor of the Memphis Appeal describes
his case since die election, in a^Tnanner that will
revive recollections of similar conditions, in other ar-
dent politicians. He says:
"A political editor probably is never placed in a more
awkward position than that in which he finds himself
immediately after a long and heated politiral contest.
His thoughts have been so closely confined to one
particular channel, that he finds it difficult to digest
them. There is no taste in the public mind for a con-
tinuance of the discussions which have hitherto char-
acterised his paper and filled its columns, while his
sluggishly on subjects that are new, and
Hbh ne has not probably given a thought

"That is so." The editor of the Appeal threatens,
tintas something turns up very, soon, to pitch into the

Surely the Democratic conquest in Tennessee ought
to satisfy any politician of moderate ambition; hut
the editor of the Appeal seems to be a sort of Alexander
the Great. He refuses to continue hostilities with the
Know Nothings, although they still keep up a feeble
cry, like that of the boy whose father had punished,
and then wished to silence him : > -

Manufacture of Cotton—The Telegraph
enters into the following calculation, as to the •ad-
vantages of manufacturing cotton goods in Texas :
Cotton raised in Texas and sent to Lowell coste,
from Houston to Galveston, 1 per cent, freight, in
Galveston, 1 per cent. . charges, 2i per cent to first
buyer, whether in Houston or Galveston, 8 per cent,
freight to Boston, It per cent, insurance, costing, iñ-
all, 18* per cent, laid down at the factory. In manu-
facturing, there is a loss of 121 per cent, and the cost
of manufacturing the remainder is not less than 100
per cent, of prime cost. The expense then of getting
the goods to Houston again, including profits, lc., is
ftally 40 per cent, of the first cost of the cotton here,
making the article in the firm of Lowells, ready for
sale here, worth 175 per cent, of first cost, in addition
to that cost, or supposing cotton to be worth 10 cents
per lb., in this market, Lowells will be worth 27* cts.
A bolt of 40 yards of Lowells weighs 17 pounds,
which would bring the cost here to lit or 12 cents
"A this additional 171 eents value per pound
of the cotton, we have about 11 cents for the manu-
facture, and 6i cents for freight and charges, or nearly
one-fourth the cost of our Lowells has gone to the
support of commission merchants, vessels, traders,
4c., a non-producing class of community. But when
eotton is at ten cents per pound here, or 11 cents at
Boston, the manufacturers calculate to make-fully 25
Sir cent, of tbe cost of manufacture clear profit^
ow add this to our previous calculation, and we find
the actual expense we are now at in getting our
Lowells, besides the bare cost of spinning, weaving,
Ac., is 81 cents, leaving 81 cents for the cost of manu-
facture. Thus it will be seen that the manufacturer
here could aflfotd to pay fully fifty per cent, more for
his labor t* " he of New England, and still enter our
market here with an advantage.

W The extreme devotion of a certain class of
papers to the 8onth, to Southern interests at this time,
is in bad keeping with their course so long as they
thought the B*ow Nothing party stood a chance of con
troling the country. Then they denounced the Kansas
bill, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, (declaring
there was n^ppsaible chance for Kansas to be a slave
State and iMh the repeal, which gave the South at
least a fair chance in that and all other territories
from which they were expressly excluded before, was
an outrageous violation of a sacred compact, &c-, &c.)
sod bravely defended the semi-abolition doctrines of
Bayner, Etheridge, Botta and others. The Democratic
party stood upon the broad principle of right — they
fought for and won that principle—they rebuked those
opposition statesmen of the South who assnmed yiti-
Southern positions, and they carried the elections a
first, second and third time over the K. N'.s by in-
creasing majorities. Now, these K. N. editors, de-
feated and hopeless, would fain appear as specially
Southern—sing out "no party!—or, a Southern party
is all that will save the country!—behold, we are be-
trayed! We are about to lose.Kansas! The Buch-
anan Walker policy is treachery to the South—Oh!
bleeding Kansas, we are losing thee!" Who losing
i, we would ask ? Not these K. N. editors who
did ell in their power first to prevent our having even
a chance for Kansas, and secondly to destroy that
chance when gained! Certainly not! Their claim
to Kansas is spurious, and only set up now for effect.
The South is flooded new with this species of hypo
crisy from defeated editors and others, who cannot
become reconciled to the loss of those golden dreams
which flitted through their brains two years ago; and
they have tbe weakness again to intimate that the
Democracy is unsound on the Southern question. If
Walker is guilty of duplicity to the South he will be
removed by the President whenever the facts are pre
sented in a proper light; but we presume Mr. Buch-
anan will not obey the demands of K. N. papers to do
For the censures of Walker by sound Southern
Democratic editors aid statesmen we have great re.
spect—for those of men who were willing to ruin and
provincialise the South, in order to fasten K. N'ism
on the country, none whatever.
Southernism does not consist of denunciation, pro-
scription for religion or birth, nor of twisting, shuffling,
turning, or any thing to get office. But of a living
faith in our free institutions—in the wisdom, justice,
beneficence and self-sustaining powers of the South—
in the spread of truth before tbe people to render
slavery, its powers, necessities and exalting tenden-
cies familiar and thoroughly understood by the peo-
ple, and therefore universally popular and strong. If
a public agent betrays his trust, Southernism will turn
him out and put in another. It scouts mere petty
quibbles, pretensions and ill-disguised professions of
attachment to itself. But takes a broad, deep and
logical view of all great questions — investigates
thoroughly, forms opinions maturely and abides by
them in good faith, come weal or come woe.
We are lead to these remarks by the pretended
Southernism of papers which one year ago we re-
garded as indirectly aiding, assisting and abetting the
Abolitionists of the North.

py The notorious Wilmot is the present fusion
of the Black Republicans and Know Noth
inga for Governor of Pennsylvania, while Wm. F.
Packard ia the candidate of the Democracy. In
hia speech at Philadelphia, which we have read:
Wilmot repeata all the dogmas and sophisms of
the Abolitionists and endorses the Know Nothing
doctrine to reference to foreign born citizens.
The Press, the Democratio paper of CoL Forney,
tTWrrfrt«. Wilmot without mercy and shows that a
Northern Democrat is the antípoda of a Northern
Abolitionist. The canvass in Pennsylvania illus-
trates the same feet to far as we have seen any
thing in relation to it. We have never pretended
that the Northern Democracy were the advocates
of slavery per " never. But we have believed
and still believe that discussion, investigation and
the force of troth were leading them to the advo-
caev of slavery ptrse. Great Northern minds are
so now. Their writings are taking hold of the po-
nular mind—the true history and character of the
negro we becoming understood by them and as
onderatoed, slavery gains converts and defenders.
The Lavaca Herald says that "in spije of the
high prices of cotton, corn, hides, pecans, 4c.,
the people of western Texas are more wretchedly
poor now, than they were years ago, when the
above named article# brought less than half the
present prices." The Herald asks "What's the
cause " We cannot say, "for certain;" but we
nther suspect that high prices have operated

a specimen of the wheat in that region, " a bunch

Gra. Hrainsox.—A private letter dated Nacog-

still here in wretched health, and 1 am sadly afraid
will not recover. What a terrible loss it would be
to lose Henderon so soon after the death of Busk.
He is tbe one to succeed Busk in my opinion; above

ment of the sloop Elizabeth, Capt. Moore, Mr. Levi
Wood, Agent, which sails on or about the 20th

list of the Opelousas, it witl be seen that another
installment of Galvestonians has been reoeived
from the North.
The Lattke Bains bave oome in earnest. We
have had showers in Galveston before; but last
Saturday night and Sunday morning it rained, not
before only, bnt behind, above, and all around. It
rained both lateral and laterally; lineally, straight
ahead, perpendicularly, and " slantendicnlarly."
Cisterns, lakes, and ponds have been replenished ;
vegetation flourishes as in spring; the faces of
herdsmen and gardeners have been gladdened, and
the face of natnre has been washed, fresh roses
added to her cheeks, and lily-white to her brow.
The Sunday schools and churches were closed during
Sunday morning; but thanks-giving and praise
nevertheless abounded. It thundered some too ;
roaring and bellowing from all quarters, as if all
the lions ever discovered by Gordon Cumming were
about to make an onslaught on tbe herds of a thous-
and bills, which defied the attack, or as it thunders
in the mountains, when
"Jura answers through her misty shroud
Back to tiie joyous Alps, who call to her aloud."
P. S.—No damage to property ; but nervous peo-
ple, who profess to be wonderfully relieved by arti-
ficial eleotrioity regard this exhibition of the pnre
element as an over-dose, though they feel better
after it is over.

tleman from Colorado county, that at the special

Larkin F. Price, K. N„ was elected, over Dr. M.

The Foubth Annual Htatjcxxnt of Mr. Jas.
Sorley, Cotton Faotor and General Commission
Merchant, is before as. AS auteve /already pub-
lished the main business statinHa of this Port dur-
ing the year, we find but little of interest in the
circular, save what is embraced* in the following
extraots—as the elroular itself remarks : "Tbe busi-
ness of the pasty ear, at this port, affords but little
room for comment." The circular thus remarks
upon the weather and crop8 of the present season :
The crops in this State were, planted unusually
early, and were killed down by the frost in March—
they were planted a second time and killed down by
the frost in April. Another planting was necessary,
and this so (ate, that many despaired of making Cot-
ton : on this account, and also from the scarcity of
cotton seed and the scarcity and high price of corn,
much land originally planted in cotton was replanted
with corn. íí>r about ten weeks after the last plant-
ing a drought prevailed throughout the State, threa-
tening a total failure of all crops. In the latter part
of June rains commenced and soon became general
all over the Eastern and Central portion of the State,
giving a sudden impulse to vegetation, and in a few
weeks an abundant crop was assured of all kinds of
grain—tbe growth of cotton was also greatly stimulat
ed, the weed growing up finely. After about three
weeks of rainy weather, dry hot weather set in, pro
duoing a heavy crop of forms and bolls, and giving
promise of a large yield. In the West the drought
continued until a few weeks ago, causing an almost
total failure of al| kinds of crops. In toe counties
bordering Trinity river the prospect for a large yield
of cotton per acre never was better,—cotton began
to open early in August, and picking became general
some two weeks ago—the crop, however* is by no
means safe; the bottom crop is made, but the middle
and top crops have yet to mature. Should wet wea-
ther set in, great damage would be done by tbe
throwing off of the young forms and sanares, and the
almost certain advent of the caterpillar. We have
already advice of heavy rains on the 28th and 29th
ultimo, in some of the lower counties, where the
crops were most promising.
No reliable estimate of the crop can be made until
about Nov. 1st., for prior to that time the amount of
cotton saved is dependant on several contingencies;
dry weather to mature the top crop, a late tall, and
good health among the laborers.

have generally been used in experimenting upon it.
Mine was of this closs ( wood ) made for tbe purpose,
I had to have the canes passed though the mill as
often as five times. The first merely cracked them,
extracting but a small amount of sap. 1 then con-
tinned to increaso the-number, twisting the canes,
until I passed from eight to ton together and yet
they were still.far from being dry when throw:
away. Every consideration, taken together, the two5
crops, and the large quantity of ga*in produced
combine, not only to make it very valuable but an
essential production,
The grain will pay all expense incident to its culti-
vation, and conversion intoSyrup, or sugar. Itook
about twenty hamper i-askets of the heads off of this
half acre, which I believe would not have shelled
less than 25 or 80 bushels, and yet the second crops
now bids fair to be the more productive of tbe two.
Horses and hogs are very fond of it, but cattle do'
not seem to relish it *ó much. 1 had two bushels
of the seed ground, and it makes cakes not dissim
ilar in flavor from rje or buckwheat, but is dark
from the husk. Is has adhesiveness^ which sufflo.
iently indicates the cereals to which it belongs. It
should be bolted through a very fine cloth. I worked
my cane up three or four weeks after its maturity,
and made no sugar, but a very fine quality of syrup,
and intend trying it again, as my present impres-
sion is, that all the saccharine matter procured may
be set down as clear profit. And the time too at
whioh the first crop comes off is the most idle one
of the whole season with the Farmer, and should
the art of granulating it be found simple, it will be
extensively grown not only north, but south al-o.

Thk Female Aoadixet, under charge of Misses
Cobb, will bé re-opened tbe 14th inst., next Mon-
day; in a portion of the buildings on the grounds
occupied by the new school edifice, though the
main structure will probably not be entirely finlBh-
ed until the close of tbe month. This last ia not
only a large and handsome edifice, but its internal
arrángéménts embrace all the modern improve-
ments calculated to promote the health and com.
fort of the scholar, as well as progress in learning.
The building is an ornament to the city, and re-
flects great credit upon the public spirit of those
who have secured its construction, within so short
period, at a time of dep ression in business like
the present summer. Mr. Allen Lewis is particu-
larly entittled to thanks for the interest he has
taken in the matter. Without the heavy expense
incurred by him, the entei prise could not have
succeeded.
It is needless to repeat to our readers the high
estimate which we place upon the character and
qualifications of the Principals in this institution.
In our opinion the school is unsur assed by any of
the same grade, iu any section of country.
War in lucataa.
The Picayune has accounts that in Yucatan a re-
volution had broken out, and nearly the entire
State was id arms. The occasion was the reoent
gubernatorial election, in which tbe extreme radi
oal party *ere defeated—by fraud they say. The
opposing and successful candidate, Berrera, was a
citizen of Merida also ; and for that reason partic-
ularly, was obnoxious to the people of Campeohe,
where the revolution first brok out under the lead
of one Garcia, a restless and ambitious chief.
At latest aocounts the revolutionists had been
everywhere successful. Ibey not only had posses-
sion of the town of Campeche, where the govern-
ment forces bad joined them, but several strong
posts in the interior. They had also armed two
sohooners for an expedition to Sisal, whioh has also
doubtless, ere this, fallen into their bands. In the
interior, tbe Indians who have recently given tbe
government so much trouble, generally co-operated

The Merida papers abound in proclamations to
the peonle,and military orders emanating not only
from the State Government, but the Federal au-
thorities. Iu one of these It íb oharged that the re-
volution is of more than local importance, and that
its ultimate object is ths separation of the State
from the Mexican Union. The authority of tbe
commanding General, Cardenas, was at all events
disowned. He had sided, however, in the election
quarrel with the so-oalled legitimate party.
We have not at hand any documents emanating
from the revolutionary party, and consequently
not the means of forming an opinion as to the pro-
bable result of the struggle. Considering, how-
ever, that the revolutionists find ready and efficient
support in the Indian population, whioh is very
numerous and have command of a considerable
extent of coast, it ia probable that they will main-
tain their ground for some time to oome, if they
are not ultimately successful.

is attaohed to the side of the vessel, instead of the
after end,and high pressure locomotive machinery
is to be used for driving it. Quickness of piston
motion, amounting to one hundred revolutions of
the screw shaft per minute, wltioh is not obtainable
at low pressure, is one of the main advantages of
the application. Another is the great saving of
spaoe and weight, amounting to more than one half.

Contested Elections.—In the Bepresentative
district of Jackson and Calhoun, the vote stands.
Jackson. Calhoun. Total
Bobert J. Clow, 28 158 181
J. H. Duncan, 56 96 151
B.J.White, 76 63 188
We learn that the vote of Calhoun was not re
ceived by the Chief Justice of Jackson county,
who is the returning officer, and he therefore issued
the certificate to Maj. White, on the vote of Jack-
son alone. Mr. Clow, it is understood, will claim
the seat.
In Austin county, it also appears that Holland
got the certificate while Evans had a majority or
votes, on account of the vote of one precinct, being
thrown out for informality.
The practice ot the Legislature has been, we
think without au exception, to award the seat to
tbe person having the highest'number of legal votes,
without reference to clerical mistakes, informa'ities
or failures on tbe part of returning officers. The
same rule prevails generally in the sountbern and
western States—that is, that the voice of the elec-
tora as expressed through the ballot box, shall
prevail.

Why such Hot Haute <
fFrom the Mobile Register.]
We are disposed to do full justice to the motives
of those persons and presses, however widely dif-
fering in opinion from us, who earnestly and hon-
estly labor for the good of the South, but we know
how subtle is the prejudice and how insidious tbe
hereditary hatred growing out of long established
party divisiotis. Hence when we find those who
heretofore have opposed all sectional organization
in defence of the institutions ot the South, sudden-,
ly and violently abandoning their old affinities and
out heroding Herod in their ' fire-eating" zeal, we
must be pardoned for suspecting that political re-
sentment overshadows patriotic impulse. We
cannot otherwise account for the reckless impati-
ence and rabid haste with which Southern men
are called upon to desert and denounce tbe Ad-
ministration and the Democratic party. Will the
immediate organization of "the Southern party''
accomplish anything before tbe meeting of Con
gress? If not why press a rupture with the Demo-
cratic party until its actiou toward Kansas finally
decides its position toward the South t—There is a
reason which we almost blush to name, but we
know no other: Some fear that the Democratic
party will faithfully redeem its pledges, will prove
loyal to tbe Constitution and the South, will so act
as to silence opposition and hush the carping,
captious barking of those journals which have hop-
ed to make this Kansas question a weapon with
which to break up its organization and steal its
power. It is the only hope left them to escape po-
litical annihilation, and hence they wish to forestall
its free action and produce irreconilable schism
before hand. They assume for this purpose all
sorts of names and principles, they call themselves
"independent," "Southern Bights," pro-slavery,''
'anti national," everything but the right name
which is, "anti-democratic." They advocate all
sorts of measures and movements, except tbe one
which legitimately belongs to their position. If in
the organization of the "Southern party" with tbe
manliness and candor of the Charleston Mercury
they would boldly avow "disunion," we might not
adopt, but we could respect their course.—They
cannot doubt the soundness of the Southern De-
mocracy ; if so, there are no elements left out ol
which to form a Southern party. They do not con-
demn the principles of the Democratic party ; the
charge they make is, that these principles have
not been faithfully enforced by the Administration
in Kansas. They dare not charge tbat nine-tenths,
yes, ninety-nine hundredths, of the citizens of the
South are not united on the issue which they pro
Dose as tbe basis of a new organization ; and they
inow that the hundredth who aie unsound, will
remain so under any organization that can be lorm
ed. Cer ainly, these tardy journals, whose cease
less cry heretofore has been, "wait I wait I time
enough yet for the South to act," can curb their
impatience for a month or two, to secure the bar
monious co-operation of all her sons. We predict
that should "the contingency occur, which they so
confidently prophacy, when the time for decisive
action comes, "they all, with one accord, will com-
mence making excuses;" one has bought a yoke of
oxen (or stolen fifty, it may be,) and must prove
them, or purchased a piece of .land and must first
see it; or married a wife and cannot come. Mark
our words, tbe drag upon the Southern movement,
when the day of trial comes, will be these very
anti-Democratic journals. Destroy the Democra-
tic party, and we honestly believe the redemption
of the South will never be accomplished. It has
always been her fast friend, has secured to her
under the Constitution all she has, and in recogni-
tion of this service, now commands a more linan
imous support than any party ever did before.
With isolated and unim¡fcrtant exceptions here
and there, all the most ardent, sensitive and zealr
ous defenders of the rights, no matter what their
previous affiliations may have been, are Democrats
now, and they cannot be seduced nor driven from
its fold by the melo dramatic revelations of these
modern political spiritualists. When the South
requires their services, as a party, without a
change of name or principles, they will lorm a bul-
wark of brave hearts and strong arms.around her,
impregnable to any attack from foes within or
without fier borders.
Tlie New Party.
People begin Cb see through the movement tor
the establishment of a new party at the South. In
alluding to the subject, the Austin Intelligencer
says
Every patriot must desire greater unanimity in
the Sonth. But unanimity for the proteotion of
the Constitution and the preservation of thé Union
is one thing; that for selfish agrandisuinent based
upon a purely sectional movement is another.
The feature which strikes us with most force just
at this writing l>, that the presses and men accus-
tomed to fall npon the sideof disunion havespoken
out in fierce denunciation of the administration.
The reliable standard Democratic organs sustain
the administration ; but a viist number of the
Southern press and politicians are playing the
identical game whioh they played in 1854. They
remain silent, while the Know Nothings and ex-
treme malcontents are indoctrinating the country

Xlie New Tork Failures.
The New York papers are largely occupied with
statements referring to the money panic and
failures in Wall street. The Express say :
The suspension will be wide spread in its effects,
and give a shock to confidence, which was not
wanted to make financial affairs quite gloomy
enough. The scrutiny to which railroad compa-
nies have been subjected, by reason of the large
decline in their market value, has rendered their
use as collaterals almost impossible. It will now
be shown what large sums have been sunk by the
friends of many roads who have credited their
financial reports and stood by their stocks. Ohio
and neighboring States have been th ? focus of a
railway mania, and though the New York office
alone is now announced as suspended, it will be a
subject of congratulation if the discredit of railway
securities does not carry the home office down, and
with it Western banks and bankers, all of whom
have too many railway shares as collateral for their
safety.
The Times says:
There was a pretty general stampede in Wall
street yesterday, and bulls and bear , longs and
shorts, were so intermingled ia the pell niell, that
It was difficult to distinguish one from the other.
The rushing and crushing of fancy men and fancy
stocks rendered the scene rather interesting to an
outsider who could feel entirelv sure that his own
underpinning stood in no danger. Such hurly-
burlies in that region have not been so rare that
the present need cause any great alarm. The wel-
fare of the country does not depend upon money
institutions nor upon bank agencies. The great
productive resources of the Union—the cotton and
sugar, and rice and tobacco plantations, tbe wheat
and the corn, and the hay fields, the coal .mines,
the iron mines, the lead mines, the gold mines,
the forests and the orchards—these are the sour-
ces of our prosperity and greatness, and while
hey are unharmed, no mere financial revulsion
can affect the general prosperity of the city. A
noiseless and hardly 'elt frost might be productive
of more serious damage to the country than the
failure of all the stock brokers and speculators in
Wall street.
Indeed, we are no', sure but the country at large
would profit immensely by the utter prostration
and extinction of tbe whole brood of gamblers,
whose reckless and unprincipled transactions are
ruining thousands of innocent victims, and bring-
ing disasters and disgrace upon the commercial
and financial character of the city. The Stock
Exchange, as at present managed, is very little
more than au enormous gambling establishment,
and the whole scale of its operations is quite as
ruinous, quite as demoralizing, quite as infamous
as any of the Broadway hells which have recently
enjoyed the attention of the Metropolitan pol ce.
Or. Douglass' Speech.
Wo promised to notice Mr. Douglass'late speech
delivered at Springfield. 111., in June last.
He confines himself to two subjects—the decision
of the Dread 8oott case and the Utah question. In
the first he boldly vindicates the deoision. and
thereby takes the true Southern ground. When
the case was taken up to the Supreme Court from
the State of Missouri on a statement of facts agreed
upon, the Court could easily have disposed of it
upon a plea in abatement, in truth could have
avoided touching the merits of the case, upon the
ground that Dred Scott was born a slave, was still
a slave, and therefore had no right to sue or be sued.
The Supreme Court had made up itB mind to meet
all the issues and therefore took up the merits, and
settled the matter. The time had arrived for so
high an authority to make such a decision. In re-
lation to Utah, he says Congress has a right to re-
peal the act creating Utah as a Territory. Mr.
Douglass seems to waver for a moment touohing
the moral right to do so, and he might have gone a
little further touohing vested rigAts, or rights accru-
ing under the aot; but he quickly comes up to the
issue with arguments unanswerable, that Congress
has the right legally and morally, under the cir-
cumstances of the case; in faot, he seems to put it
upon the broad ground of self defence, which is
admissible both by the laws of God and man.
The South are bound to feel grateful to Mr.
Douglass for the bold and manly stand he has taken
in behalf of their rights."
Thé above is from the San Antonio Herald, a K.
N. paper, whicb doeB credit to tbe head and heart
of. its editor. He rises above party tó do justice to
the fearless Douglass.
Tea Table Dbinks.—There are three aromatlo
beverages—tea, coffee, and cocoa—which are gener-
ally used in all parts of civilised Europe, Asia, and
America. In the oountries of China, Thibet, Bnssia,
Holland. England, and the various States and pro-
vinces of North America, having an aggregate po-
pulation of five hundred million human beings, an
estimated quantity of two thousand million pounds
of tea—four pounds to each individual—annually
used. Coffee, which is preferred by many people
to tea, and which is indeed the staple minor luxury
of Mahomedan life, is yearly becoming more and
more generally used. It Is estimated that six hund-
red million pounds of the coffee bean are consumed
every year by one hundred and twenty millions of
men. Cocoa, the least popular of these drinks, is
still a favorite bevera e in Central America, Italv
and Spain and is probably consumed to the extent
of one hundred million pounds a year among a po
pulation of fifty millions.
An article in the April number of tbe Edinburgh
Beview gives some interesting faots in relation to
the chemical properties of these three tea table
drinks, which are common upon every table in our
land, and explains at length the reasons why they
are always so refreshing to the weary and so appar-
ently nourishing to tbe hungry. It says tbat the
tea, coffee and cocoa all contain in the roasted state
in which tbey are used, aromatic oils, in minute
proportion, to which the peculiar aroma of each is
due. They contain also a proportion of an astring-
ent substance resembling the tannin of gall nuts or
oak bark. In the tea and coffee ia found a variable
quantity of a white crystalline body called theine ;
and in cocoa a substance of nearly a similar cbar-
'snown by the name of theobromine. Of these
constituent parts, two of them, tbe volatile
oil and tbe theine are known to exercise a peculiar
influence upon the system. The oil possesses nar-
io properties, intoxioates, occasions headache and
Idiness, and sometimes paralysis in those who,
as tea tasters, are much exposed to its influence.—
New tea contains this oil in larger quantities than
old. The small proportion of i< wblob exists in tea
as we get it from China is harmless.
They theine whioh is found In coffee and tea, and
the theobromine in ooooa, are bitter, strengthening
snbstanoes, distinguished particularly by the pecu-
liar property of retarding-the natural waste of the
animal body. The faster the waste the larger tbe
quantity of food which muBt daily be oonsnmed to
make upfor the loss whioh it occasions. The theine,
or theobromine, therefore, by lessening ths waste,
lessons also the amount of food necessary to be eaten
within a given time. The vol"_ oil produces
a similar effect in a somewhat yrfile. ee, and wben
