Strdngo to nay, the tea-pot ia modem In
vention. The ancient never saw the tea plant,
nor taatrd lhat delicious beverage which "cheers
but not Inebriates." Anions; tbe remains ot
ancient Eypt jrou will find plenty ot earthen
iars once tilled from the frcred Nile; the mighty
empire ot Aziak has still Its cinerary urns to
show; the earthen-ware of Celtic peoples is con
stantly coming to light; and Etruria, the Ions
vanlskod homo and kingdom of the arts, pre
serrca to thti day her vases of every shape and
unrivalled beauty; but none of these extinct
nations poMessed that precious tea pot which
every hovel In England can boast. The case
is not the same with the cream jug. Tbe museum
of Gregory XVI contains numerous vessels
which tbe Etriiflcans probably used for milk.
Virgil tells us of the palls in which the Latin
Ecanants carried their goat's milk to market at
ay break; and every leader of the "Georglcs" re
members what pains thev took to render the
milk savory how they lea the ewes on clover,
lutus, and suit herbs, that so they might drink
more water from tho brooks, and yield more
copious and tasty milk, having a plea'ant smack
of salt. As to asses' milk, the Koman belles
used to bathe in it as certain Parisians are said
to do in cbampaenc; and we may be quite sure
that those who knew the value of milk so well
had no lack of elegant and costly jugs In which
to serve it.
Tea must wind up our breakfast, even if coffee
takes the precedence; it must lollow the late
dinner, and be served in every gentlewoman's
boudoir at five o'clock. To the Englishman it
scarcely comes aiiil.-s at any hour. It is the
student's stimulant, the Invalid's medicine; and
to the ione woman in her old age it is more than
ber spinning-wheel ever was, or her cat or her
canary ever can be. It atlords "the nice young
gentleman for a tea-party" an admirable oppor
tunity of displaying his affectation, and cracking
his feeble (ones. It is the most social of all
bevcraecs. and the alreadv immense consump
tion of it here is decidedly on the increase.
Although tiie Chinese bend us their tea, we
are not indebted to them for their teapots.
They have each a teacup, furnished with a lid,
in which the tea is made separately. The leaf,
chopped up very small and almost in powder, is
put into tne cup in tue quantity required. Then
hot water is pojred upon it, and the lid replaced.
When it has stood a little time they stir it up
ana drink it quite hot aud turoid, without sugar
and cream. It is a very different thing from
our tea, having a delicious flavor peculiar to the
climate. There cau be no doubt that the exten
sive use oi tue leaf in this country has given a
great impulse to the ceramic art.
During Ion? ages its beauty and perfection lay
buried in Etruscan tombs. The Italians first
raised It from the dust in the lourteenib cen
tury, and Luca del In liobbia, using glaze aud
coloring with his terra-cottas, produced the fa
mous Mniolidu. The delicate art then moving
northward, forsook the Tuscan factories, and
fixed its home in the little town of Fayence, in
France. Here and at Nevers, patronized by
Catharine de Medici, and improved by Bernard
Palissy, it attained high reputation; and its
productions are well known to collectors of old
"china" by the serpents, fish, and other crea
tures which cover their sunacc in relief.
The manufacture of porcelain in Cnina and
Japan had been common trom the first century
of the Christian era, but it was not till 1518 that
the Portuguese imported it into Europe. Fac
tories followed each other in rapid succession in
France and England, but the articles produced
cracked easily, and would not bear strong heat.
The first real porcelain was made at Meissen, on
the Elbe, in 1710, and, under the name of Dres
den china, became known all over toe world.
Its patron, Augustus II, Elector of Sasony, was
commonly called the Porcelain King.
The true Dresden teapots and cream fuzs
have particular marks by which they may be
tested, ai:d so have those manufactured at the
Hague, Vienna, and Mavcnce. Sometimes the
mark is a shield, at others a wheel, now an
eagle with the bind foot raised, aud now a
stork standing on one leg or flying with a frog
in its beak. The Berlin porcelain ranks next
after Dresden, but that of Sevres surpasses them
both.
Louis XV, in 1756, there founded the great fac
tory which ha9 since become so eminent; and
about the same time the Worcester Porcelain
Works started as a Company, and Josiah Wedg
wood, like another Prometheus, broueht the Are
ot genius into the Staffordshire potteries, aud
f ave new life to their clay. The beautiful ereen
anes, the bauks aud nooks, where wild flowers
blossom, were tbe school in which he first
learned his art.
The berries in the hedgerows, tbe clinging
ivy, the trailing tendrils of the convolvulus, the
etrawberry's luscious scarlet, and nature's own
exquisite commingling of colors, formed his
earliest lessons, bis silent but daily teachers.
Forced by pain and disease to abandon the work
ot the thrower, ho turned, while still a youth,
to the moulder's beard, and there produced the
specimen known as "Wedgwood's first teapot,"
which is carefully preserved at '"Etruria."
This little work was the beginning of a career
oi ceaseless activity. The crippled boy rapidly
became an eminent artist, a profound chemist in
relation to his art, a philosophical thinker, and
a great industrial leader. With self-culture,
and on a system self-devised, he moved onward
from oue success to anether. He converted
"agate-ware" into imitation of porphyry, sold
knife-hafts and snuff-boxes of his own design in
this ware in his eighteenth year, and showed
extraordinary accuracy and taste in the early
Etruiian cream-ware, which was afterwards to
attain in bis hands such lightness and perfect
linear harmony.
The tea-service of our day differs widely from
that of our ancestors. Whether made of China
ware or earthenware, it is more shapely and
beautiful. The old blue eastern designs, in
which truth was outraged and taste disregarded,
have passed away or linger only on cottage
shelves.
The Abbe Listz, it is said, goes to all par

In 1859 a gentlem an by the name of Talbot
Green, of Tennessee, afterwards an officer in the
late Rebel army, published a popular work en
titled "A Winter in the Federal City" in which
he positively asserts that "Andrew Johnson, in
spite of the fates, would be Chief Magistrate of
the United States before the close ot tbe year
1865," that "his administration would be stormy;
that he would labor under extraordinary em
barrassments, but would eventually make one
of the most popular Presidents thai ever ruled
In America."

The Land or this Company consists or about 120
Acres. In & ecklenburg county Notth Carolina, about
ih in lies troui the town oi Charlotte.
On this property fifteen shafts or pits hav been opened
kid sunk to various depths, lrom 10 to ba leet, demon
strating the existence ot three paranei veins ol oreof
about I teet In width and about IS leet apart, converging
to a comn on centre at the depth oi about 1M leet, toiui
Ing one immense mass or vein ol ore. extending In
length through ihe property more than half a mile.
1 beie are alto on this property other voins oi ore unex
plored All these ores are known as the Brown Ores,
and are verv rich, yielding an average ot about SAK) per
ton in gold, tbe above results having teen demon
strated ly the rude working of the mines for several
years past, tbe rltk ol investment In undeveloped pro
perty Is not incurred, and by tbe application ot modern
mining and reuuclng machinery the Company anticipate
an Immediate and large leturn for their money.
Ha Ing an ere that readily yle ds t200 per ton, some
estimate can be made of i be value of -his property. With
the present unpen, ct svstem ot mining, ten tons of this
ore can be taken out and reduced dailv from every shait
opened, at an expense not exceeding tv per ton, leav
ing a net daily profit oi 1750 foreacu shaft worked by
tbe Company
The large working capital reserved will enable the
Company at once to procurcano erect tbe best modem
machlneiy for manipulating tl ores, by means ol which
tbe yield will be luigely increased.
These mines, whilst they prodnce ores richer than
those ol Coloiado or Nevada, have many advantages
over them, particularly in an abumlatice l lutl and
cheap labor, and tbe facility with which they ean be
worked during ih.- entile year: whilst ti ose ot Colorado

I nave made a chemical analysis of commercial sam

t e tree from the heavy Fusil Oils, and periectly pure and
unadulterated. Ihe fine flavor of this whisky is derived
ii em the grain nsed in manufacturing It.
