Until this quantity is reduced consider. ably by the cessation of shipments of similar qualities from China there is no pastible hope of prices rising to spying point for the producer, at any rates longas the enormous export duties and inland taxations exist. The real tug has at last come on us, and it has become evident to all connected with the trade that the imposts on tea in China must be considerably reduced, if not altogether abolished, or the trade will be redneed to a minimum. The taste for tea is increasing yearly, but China cannot hold her own in the competition to supply the demand unless these crushing taxes are abolished.
It is rumoured that only four steamers will load teas in Hanký for London this season. It would be better if none went there to load, and that steamers should be despatched from Shang, hi on fixed dates with part cargoes only. Ti is

This is certainly a very pitiable case, and the happy care, wrought by this simple but powerfu remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure.

But, on the contrary, she was a miserable burden to herself and a source of care to her friends.

It should be explained that this most remark. able cure is due to the fact that rheumatism is a disease of the blood. Indigestion, constipation, and dyspepsia cause the poison from the partially digested food to enter the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and muscles. This
tion, and so stops the further formation and deposit of the poison. It then removes from the system the poison already there. It is not a cure-all. It does its wonderful work entirely by its mysterious action upon the digestive organs. But when we remember that nine-tenths of our ailments arise in those organs, we can under stand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseast s that appear to be so different in their nature. In other words rheumatism and neuralgia are but symptoms of indigestion, constipation, and dyspepsia-[Advt.
There is very liule doubt that as far as English buyers are e ncerned, the business this year will be a dragging one, and much of the first crop teas will have to be held by the Chinese and brought down to Shanghai for sale. It would be a great boon to many teamen if they were allow dis rheumatism. Selgel's Syrup correct the digest- to bring down their teas in bond, and pay duty In Shanghai at the time of export. At present it necessitates oblaining an advance of which interest has to be paid, of 30 per cent to 50 per cent. of the value of a good deal of the tea which comes to Shanghai for sale before it can be forwarded, and this prevents much tea being sent down which would otherwise find its way to this market, This would probably have the double effect of encouraging the use of the bonded system, as well as of bringing the tea trade back to Shanghai,

The Norwich Weekly People's Gazette, Gordon Wilcox, publisher and editor, is said to be the most unique newspaper in New England. Its field is society and ethics; and for two years or more it has treated local questions practically with the same candor that distinguishes the Arizona Kicker theoretically. Its motto is: "Get there, Ell!" At the head is the publisher's notice:

If you don't see what you want ask for it. If you don't get what you ask for, go without it.
