He says tbe women drink tea several times
a day, making it a principal article of diet,
aud beoce coinea an untold amount of sick
ness. Tea is as distinctly a narootio poison
as is opium or alcohol. It Is capable of
destruction to digestion, It disorders the
bean's aolton and it sb alters the nerves.
IJeside the poison of the tea tbe great
quantity of hot water Imbibed Is very lojudl,

Tne evil is a sad one, aud shows that Im-
temperance is not confined t tbe use of
spirituous liquor, or opium or tobaseo.
Tea In its abuse is as pernicious as Is either.

Tbe Vital! correspondent of the San
Franciico Bulletin says: A curious phe
nomenon confronted me while In Ioyo coun
ty last week, and ;which by accident lorgot
to mention in my previous letter. Tbe pbe.
nomenom it a child bride, a wife now at
tbe mature age of twelve, wbo bti lived In
tbe conjugal state lor tome three year or
more. Tbis child, to make Ibe man nearly
fifty years old, or more than four time her
senior. How any person of authority ever
consented to unite these two Is a mystery I
coolest my Inability to penetrate. But
somebody was found, tbat much Is certain,
and tbe strange knot was legally and prop
erly tied. Mia. Lou. Peysen, Ibe little mat
roo, is very small even for ber age, wears
sborl dresses and conducts herself in most
matters precisely as a child sbe Is. She is
intelligent, .however; bas a nimble tongue,
and is quite ready of speech. I am told that
tbe twain do not get along together remarks
ably well; but it Is dlffioult to conceive bow
tbis could be otherwise tbe husband two
score and ten, and tbe wife barely a dozen
years old. Whenever Peyson happened to
offend anybody, the stinging sarcasm is
flung at blm that If he does not mend bis
speeob tbe offended party will lure bis wife
away with a stick of sugar candy. Fancy
what a sarcasm this with which to crutb a
middle aged and proper Benedict 1 I am
told, by parties in Mr. P.' confidence,
tbat sbe bas made a covenant with herself
to gouge out ber amiable liege' eye at
ber little Angers are' strong enough. I bad
