The Tea Trade-
The tea trade here during the past
year, though not altogether favorable
to the jobbing interest, has demon
strated the fact that this article can
not only be purchased from the San
Francisco market at rates which defy
the closest competition of Eastern
cities but in lots that average much
higher in quality than those imported
by Eastern jobbers, via the Suez Canal.
The imports by this route are subject
to longer test and greater variety of
changes in climate than are the car
goes of teas, passing through more
equalized temperatures, to ttiis market.
Hence the latter receive their cargoes
in much better condition and lose less
of the strength and fragrance in teas
than Eastern cargo teas subjected to
greater changes in temperature in
curred by their means of importation.
THE COLORADO VOLCANO.
Dees It Resemble tile .Mysterious Wonder
in the Florida Wilderness?
Several telegrams from Los Angeles
have announced the breaking out of a
volcano in the Colorado desert, sixty
miles from this side of Fort Yuma and
eight miles north from the Southern
Pacific Railroad. It seems to have
started on the 11th instant, at 9 a. m.,
or at least it was then observed, and
according to later reports it lias since,
at various times, emitted black smoke,
and we are told that it has thrown out
rocks; but we suspect that the shaking
of the mountain side in which the rup
ture has occurred may have caused the
loose rocks to roll down. There is no
mention of any flame, lava or mud com
ing from the volcano, nor is it said
that there was any earthquake shock,
so the eruption is probably a one-horse
affair, out of which no serious excite
ment can be. Small as it may be,
however, it deserves more attention
than it has yet received. No person
has yet visited it or given a description
of its appearance as visible from the
railroad. In fact, there is room for
suspicion that it belongs to a class of
phenomena previously observed in that
region—we mean the mud volcauoes.
These are really swamps or muddy
pools through which hot steam rises
from subterranean sources, and it is
said that sometimes black smoke ac
companies the steam. These mud vol
canoes, however, are in the plain,
whereas the outbreak of the Uth in
stant is placed on the mountain side.

The Russian Vanguard.
The Russian advanced guards crossed
the Danube in boats when they cap
tured Matcliin, hut afterward were
transported to the Turkish side of the
river in barges. These barges were pro
tected at the side by huge wooden bul
warks, built up to the height of a man,
with loopholes through them. These
bulwarks would ward off a bullet, but
in the Dobrudsclm, soon after the Rus
sian vanguard entered Matcliin, went
over to its assistance with ’2,000 more
soldiers. As soon as the inhabitants
saw the heavily-laden barges coming,
the London Daily News states, they
formed into a procession and came down
to the shore with banners, liolypictures
taken from the churches, and various
other religious emblems. They were
led by three priests and some other
church dignitaries in full canonical
robes, who met the Russian troops
chanting a hymn. General Zimmer
mann took off his cap and kissed the
little wooden cross that was presented
to him, while with a bunch of green
leaves they splashed any amount of holy
water over his head, and in fact almost
drenched him. Each of those who
followed were treated with the same
copious shower-bath, and as the day
was hot and all were in a terrible pers
piration, the ordeal was by no means an
unpleasant one. The people then
greeted the troops with loud hurrahs,
and marched after them, manifesting
the most extravagant joy, especially the
boys, whose delight was as unbounded
as it was troublesome. Nevertheless,
in spite of something that was grotesque
about it all, this reception of the con
querors by the conquered, of the
invaders by the invaded, had a profound
political significance which the Turcop
hiles, if there were any present, would
have done well to ponder. These people,
instead of looking upon the Russians
as enemies and conquerors and invaders
and oppressors, hailed them with delight
and satisfaction as their deliverers from
a degrading and terrible bondage.
A HERO’S DEATH.
The Pcacefnl Close of Stonewall Jackson's
Great Career.
The death of General Jackson was
characterized in its? singularity. At
night, when the battle bad ended, just
as he had achieved what he believed to
be the most successful movement of his
career, lie, whom the enemy began to
believe both invulnerable and invinci
ble, fell at the bauds of his own people.
It is needless to repeat the painful
story of his wounding and death. At
first it was not believed liis wounds
were mortal, and the army thought, in
the language of General Lee, “Jackson
will not—he cannot die.” But it was
written. Pneumonia lent its fearful
aid to the enemy, and on Sunday after
noon he closed his eyes and smiled at
his own spoken dream —“Let us cross
over the river and rest under tho shade
of the trees. ” The dream thus spoken
is yet unbroken; and his soul went out
to heaven, unlisted by sighs and pray
ers, rising that hour from altar and
cloister, all over the South, for his re
covery.
On Friday, the 15th of May, 1803,
his body was taken for burial to bis
home in Lexington. He had not been
there since he left it, two years before,
at the beginning of the war. Only
two years, and yet how like romance is
the simple story of his growth in fame.
And now he lies buried as he directed,
“in the Valley of Virginia,” and
among the people he loved so well. It
were better so. He could not have
saved the South, and it was merciful
that he should perish first. The ten
der memory he left behind him in
the army, and the stern sense of duty
he bequeathed his soldiers, will be told
by this little incident with which I close
this unworthy sketch. The army of
Lee was on its march to Gettysburg,
and the commanding general had given
strict orders for its discipline in Penn
sylvania. An officer riding to camp
from Chambersburg, late at night, was
halted by the outposts. Having neith
er pass nor countersign, in his dilemma
lie bethought him of an old pass in Ilia
pocket-book signed by General Jackson,
whose recent death hung like a cloud
over the army. He found it and handed
it witli confidence to the sentinel. The
trusty fellow managed to read it by the
light of a match, and as lie did so lie
seemed to linger and hesitate over the
signature. And then, as the light
went out, he handed it back, and look
ing up toward the stars beyond, lie
said, sadly and firmly, “Captain,
you can go to Heaven on that, paper,
but you can’t pass this post.”
M. Lamey, a French servant, lias
started a novel theory to account for
the abnormal rise of temperature in tiie
early part of November, known here as
the Indian Summer, and in Europe as
St. Martin’s Summer. Tho phenome
non appears to be general throughout
the northern hemisphere. M. Lamey
argues that it can hardly have its ori
gin either in the sun’s or the earth’s
atmosphere, and suggests that it may
be due to meteors, which to produce
first a sudden fall of temperature by
cutting off the sun’s rays, and then an
abnormal rise resulting from the reflec
tion of the sun’s heat by the meteor
swarm. The fact that the November
meteors usually occur about the time
of St. Martin's Summer, gives some
little plausibility to the theory, but it
is not clear that the meteors actually
pass between us and the sun in such a
way as to produce any sensible effect
upon temperature.

The late well-known Father Taylor. |
Pastor of Seamen’s Bethel, Boston, ;
Said—“lt Is a remedy worthy of a place In ! :
every family, and that Its real virtues are only
to be known to be appreciated. We should
be very unwilling to be without it. It hus
relieved me of severe attacks of Bowel Gun
plaints, Dyspepsia and Oostiveness. I would

A Duty to the Community.
From the well-known Evangelist, Rev.
Edwin Burnham.
Newburypoet, Mass.,
GEO. PIERCE & CO.—I regard it to boa
duty I owe to you and the community, to
write a few lines in fuvor of your invaluable
medicine, called “Dr. Price's Indian Re
storative Bitters.” Without flattery, I
remark. I think it to be the best medicine of ,
the kind ever gotten up.
EDWIN BURNHAM, j
A Family Medicine over;
30 Years.
Saved from Death.
From Henry Y. Davis.
New Bedford. Mass., March 3,1877.
Messrs. GEORGE PIERCE & CO.—Your
“Indian Restorative Bitters,” of which
I have always kept, a supply in my family for
the itast thirty years, has saved me hundreds oj
dollars, and I am very certain some of i!s mem
bers hare been saved from death, which would
probably have occurred with different treat
ment. Yours truly, HENRY V. DAVIS.
Sure Preventive against Disease
EVERY MIXER OUGHT TO HAVE
IT IX IIIS CAMP.
Elder John G. Hook, the well known
Evangelist, who with Rev. G. A. Eng
land, of this city, in the winter of
1874, carried on the first revival ever
had in Wyoming Territory, says:
Concord. N. H., March 16th, 1876.
GEO. PIERCE & CO.:—Have used your “In
dian Restorative Bitters” for more than
tiventy years, and can testify personally to Its
value as a medicine. I never allow my fum
llytobe without a bottle in the house, and
Invariably carry It with me in my valise on
my Journeys.
My experience derived from its long use Is
as follows:
It is a blood purifier,— is certain to break up
a fever", will cure and regulate a disordered
stomach, and remove headache.
Will cure costiveness and liver complaint.
It Is excellent for dyspepsia or indigestion,
by taking a swallow after eating.
Let those who Are troubled in this way give
it a trial; they will And it a sure remedy in
such cases.
After indulging in a hearty boiled dinner
and suffering from an overloaded stomach, the
Bitters never fall to give relief. I know it
lias saved myself and family from serious
sickness many times.
Always used it for children’s complaints.
Know of no other medicine as good and reli
able.
I regard the “Bitters” as a remedy that
ought to be in every house in the land.
Y’ours Truly, JOHN G. HOOK.
