H.- The [ American Tea Company has pur : chased 4,000 acr s of land on one , of the sea islands, near Chariest ou, and will engage in the planting of tea on a large scale for com mercial purposes. The plans of the American Tea company con template the production of 300,000 pounds of tea annually. For the past several dave Major R. D. Trimble, Colonel A. C. Tyler, of New London, Conn., and Baron Von Brunig, of Washington, re oresenting the American Tea Company, have been in the city in consultation with Dr. C. N. Shep pard, of Summerville, who, during the past few years, has met with marked success in the cultivation of tea. He owns quite an extensive tea farm just outside of Sum merville, and the product of his plantation is used extensively throughout South Carolina. Dr. Sheppard knows more about the culture of tea than any man in the United StateB. When Major Trimble and party arrived in Charleston they made no secret of the object of their visit. Last Monday they visited one of the islands about fifteen miles from the city, and purchased 4,000 acress of fine lands, which, when in operation, will yield about 300,000 pounds of excellent tea. The cultivation of tea in this state promises to develop wo?der- . fully within the next few years. The climate and soil in this sec tion is peculiarly adapted for the growing of tea, and the dav is not ' far distant when South Carolina tea will be sold in almost every city in the Uuited States. Dr. Sheppard has several hund red acres in tea and he finds no trouble in makiDg shipments. In fact he has to refuse large orders every year, as the yield is not sufficient to the demand. It is UDderstood Major Trimble, who will manage the tea fnrm, will move to Charleston at once and get the lands in the proper condi- ? tion for the planting of tea.

The Charter Mill Running in Excess of Its Capacity. The secretary of state has re lived such a number of applica ;ious for commissions and char gers since the new year that his office finds it impossible with the present clerical force to keep the pace, ai d he i3 compelled to ask :he indulgence of the applicants. All applications will be answered it the earliest possible moment, but it will doubtless be some days 3efore the small clerical foroe can jet out all the papers asked for. Thus far the fees since the opening )f the new year hav6 amounted :o about $800. Here is a list of the papers icted upon yesterday : The Atlantic Coast Lumber company filed a statement as re hired by law. The principal places of business of the company ire Norfolk. Va., and Georgetown, 3. C. The capital is $1,000,000. Tho officers are L. A. Hall of Bay Mills, Mich., president; and R. L. Montague of Georgetown, secre tary.

Chambers Baker and Van Talbury Hofman if Sumter, as corporators of the Sumter Training School for Nurses. The school proposes to provide a practical and theoreti cal course of nursing the sick for young ladies and to give them diplomas of graduation. The company is to have only $50 capital stock, but the corporators not only furnish their own servi ces, but the house free. The Charleston Ancient Artillery applied for and obtained a "re newal of charter" in perpetuity. The officers are J. B. Patrick, president; and Julian Mitchell, vioe president. A commission was issued to A. S. Wingo of Lancaster and J. T. Dowers. R. T. Hilton and W. F.

This ai/rnutero is on every box of the conaino Laxative Bromo-Quinine T?M?*? tho remedy that corea a cold In one day Whitewash for farm .ti u il din gs. Nothing adds so much to the appearance of farm buildings as bright and unchanging colors. It costs a great deal to keep houses and barns painted, but it is well worth the money, not merely be cause of the increased durability, but because of the improved ap pearance. Nothing spells pro sperity in such fair letters, written large, as well painted farm build ings. Paint, however, ie dear, and for a long time farmers who desire to keep things in first-class shape have been looking for a cheap paint or a whitewash that will Btand the weather and not become instead of a clear white a dirty drab in a few weeks or months. The United States government has been looking after this, as it does after almost everything touch ing farm life, and has hit upon a whitewash for its lighthouses which should Btand rough condi tions. We give the receipt as fol lows: "Take a half buiiuel of unslacked lime, slack it with boiling water, tover during tb.6 process to keep in steam, strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of suit, previously dissolved in warm water; three pounds ol' groundrice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in while hot; half a pound Spanish whiting and ono pound of glue, previously dissolved by Boakiug in cold water, and then hanging over the fire in a small pot hung in in a larger one filled with water, add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir well and let it stand a few day6 covered from dirt. It should be applied hot, for which purpose it can be kept in a portable furnace." There is nothing in the above that is not within the reach of evijry reader. He can buy the material, except possibly the grouud n?e, and he can buy that and have it ground in the coffee mill of with hie own farm mill, can do all the mixiug, and apply , it, and having applied it to one building he can econ determine whether he wants to go around the farm and make his farm the envy of all observers. The east end of the President's bouse in Washington is embellish ed with this whitewash, and if it is good enough for the White House it is good enough for any body else's house or barn. A pint of this mixture will aver a square yard and is said to be almost as serviceable as paint for wood, brick or stone, and there is no paint known that will equal it in cheapness. Why not try it?

Lord Rosebury's book on Napoleon in exile, a i?risoner of state, ie one of the year and much quoted. With much litera v skill Lord Rosebery sketches for us the life of Longwood. The master of many palaces is domiciled in a damp house, swept by eternal winds, containing two small room* 14 feet by L2 foot and TO"feet or 12 feet high. In one corner is a little camp bed, used at Marengo aud Auster litz. Here and on one in the adjoin ing room he spends many a sleepless night, while on an old sofa he passes the long hours of many a tedious day. In these extiguous quarters he upholds at times the rigid etiquette of a court. Gourgaud, Bertrand, Mon tholoo and Dr. Anton Marchi are kept standing till they are ill with fatigue and lean agaiuet the furniture. If Mme. Berhand or Mme. De Montholon enterB, and the -men rise unbidden, they are sharply rebuked. Napoleon- is served on gold and silver plate, and waited ou by French servants in liveries of green and gold. A vacant place is kept for the empress, but is giveu now and then to some favor ed lady. "When he drives out it in in a carriage with six horses and an equerry in full uniform at each door. "His rooms are littered with books. His one real pleasure is tho arrival of new works to read. He took eight hundred volume s to Waterloo, including the Bible, Ossiau, Homer, Bossue, and all the seventy volumes of Voltaire. "The British government sent him a bill for ?1,400 for the books, aud-the sum being unpaid at his dpath, they sold them in London for a few hundred pounds. "These ghmpsee of his life in captivity present us a new Napoleon, exhibiting patience and forbearance with those around him, suffering their contradic tions and ill temper in a way we never expect jrom the selfish, dom ineering, violent commander. "We see him playing at chess not very well, cheating at games, though never taking winnings, moralizing against gambling. Reading and conversation' were the principal distractions. "In spite of all, the weariness and ennui of this mighty spirit are terrible. "He turns upon the petulant, captious, sulky Gourgaud with pathetic, truth. 'You speak of sor row, you and L.-:! What Borrows have I not had ! What things to reproach myself with ! You a! any rate have nothing to regret. Du you suppose that when I wake at night I have not bad momeutb when I think of what I was and what I am?' "In an eloquent passage, Lord Rosebery says: 'Eurpe buckled itself to the uuprecedented task of gagging and parayzing that in telligence and force that were too gigantic for the welfare and security of the world. That is the strange, unique, hideous pro blem which makes the records of St. Helena so profoundly pain ful and fascinating.' "Napoleon often gibed at the En glish, yet he said : 'The English character is superior to ours. Th ev j are ID everything more practical than we are. They emigrate, they marry, they kill themselves 7/itb less indecision than we display in going to the opera. They are also braver than we are. I think I can ?ay that in courage they are to us what we are to the Russians, the Russians to the Germans, the Ger mans to the Italians. Had I had an English army I should have conquered the universe.' "It was the ambition of this re stless spirit tobe not merely the lori of Europe, but the emperer of the east Egypt once in the pos session of the French, farewell In dia to the Brithish. This was one of the grand pojects I aimed at. The east only wants aman. Now we shall see what will come to the English from Russia. Russia is the power that marches most surely and with the greatest strides to ward unsversal dominion, for now there is no France, therefore ho equilibrium.' "Lord Rosebery takes in general a view favorable to Bonaparte. This, be it observed, not because the liberal etatesman is under any illusion as to the leanings of a military dictator toward a demo cracy. "One of the strongest passages in this rbsorbii g volume goes to mow that Conapart feared the aopulace and had no 'sympathy ffitt liberty or its aspirations.' "Morally, he thinks the man Napoleon not so black as he is jointed. He euggests that his sivil and military ?haracter require ;o be treated separately, each by sxports, and when all is done he viii perhaps remain an enigma of aistory, ?>ossibly because the secret s so complex, possibly because ;here is :none-only the play arjd iecision of destiny."
