TEA CULTURE IN THE SOUTH. United Slates May Supply th? Home Market with Finest Tea Known. [Buffaloo (N\ Y.) Evening Nows.] The Pinehurst garduub ut Summer, ville, in South Carolina, have shown such success in tho cultivation of tea as to attract thc attention of the country. The leader iii this work is Major R. 1). Trimble, lt native of New York State, who has been con ducting experimente in tea growing and has succeeded a degree BO re larkablo as to indicate a wondorful development of toa growing in the Southern part of the United States. For generations it bas been sup posed that tea could be grown only in Chiua and Jnpau, but of late years India has developed a large tea growing industry, aud within 80 years Ceylon is very much engaged in it, and now it is transferred also to the United States. In faot such chills as arc in the winter air of South Carolina but improvo and help the plants, so that in luxuriant growth Amorican tea gardens aro in advance of the average Asiatic gar do i, and natives of Japan who have visited Pinehurst have expressed tin ir wonder at the splendid growth and production of tho plants in* that vicinity. It is thc handling of tho tea "crop Chat makes the different varieties and makes them moro or less valua ble. Tho supposition that therej aro different kinds of plants themselves from which thc varying qualities Jare gathered is a mistake, lt is injthe early and the later gatherings and in the maturing of them that tho high quality, or inferior quality of^the tea is developed. The imports of tea in this country cost about fifteen million dollars a year. Tho expansion of tho tea growing business of tho Sou* h is so rapid as to load to the belief that the American market may bo supplied with domestic toa beforo ninny years have passed-time being required chiefly for the growth of thc tea plant to bring it to bearing conditions as well as to educate those who work in tea gardens to do so to tho best advantage. The treatment of the tea from tho picking through tl-o sorting and up to thc Hring, as it is called, is fa miliar. This process is shown at Pinehurst and is of very great inter est. A wi<lo stretch of country is covered by this beautiful growth, and after the American fashion tho fields aro adorned with llower bushes and foliage plants so that it is moro like an exquisite private park than [ike an ordinary farm. lt is recognized that Pinehurst tea is of thc very finest quality grown. At the Exposition at St. Louis the Oolong from Pinehurst took first prize in competition with the finest brands of tea from the old world. Tho Department of Agriculture wi the United States is taking the greatest interest in the development of tea growth and manufacture, and the aid it has given has been a very important factor in that work. This is only ono of the scores of instances in which Secretary Wilson, the head of that department, has shown him self to be conducting it on tho broadest lines of intelligence and enterprise and farsightedness. The triumphs achieved under thc loader* ship of Secretary Wilson in thc last six or eight years have made a new 'ecord of success in tilt; department and placed Mr. Wilson at the head of Secretaries of Agriculture. Pinehurst tea farming is far past (he experimental stage, It is more than a mere culture and is becoming an established occupation. It is also not an exceptional tiling possible ?inly in tho vicinity of Summerville. lt has taken root t ero because f the enterprise of citizens resident of South Carolina, who first studied the conditions of soil and climato favorable to tea growing and then decided that tho required conditions are admirably mot in lower South Carolina, and especially in Dorches ter county. Experiments in ten growing in other par's of tho South ure already said to be producing good results, and a comparatively new in dustry is added to the list that makes the agriculture of the United States the most remarkable in the world in its rango of products and vast aggre gate in volume, and furnishes a new ?source of wealth to that section of the country fastbecom ig tho garden ol civilization.

Q OOo o OOo oooo o OOo o OOo o OOo OOO The garrison of G'>ruckpoor In the province of Ondh, Indi?, In the year 1862 consisted of 4;000 men, and about half of these were spll.. up Into small detachments and stationed here and thc*? in thc north to keep order among the hill men and punish raiding dacolts. Dacolts aro bauds of robbers under command of a chief wo bolds a re ligious influence over tuera, and they are yet tho pests of India along the foothills of the Himalayas. They are daring men and hare fighters, and very few British soldiers who fall into their hands are spared. We of the Fourth, comprising 80 men, were stationed during the year 1802 almost aa far north ns ||ic bor ders of Nepal. We bail plenty of skir mishing with the dacolts for a time, but finally dealt them such heavy blows that they drew off and left us tn peace. We were In the midst of What seemed to be peace when the government dispatched a large train of treasure and military supplies from GorUCkpOOr for QUOOrka. Colonel Kern ble, who had been ordered to take command of the garrison ut thc latter place, being Just bnek from a year's leave of absence In England, was with the train, and the whole was escorted by 250 cavalrymen. The route for the "DO YOU SKK THAT HOY SITTING ON THU cnK&T?" train brought it past our station, where lt rested for u day and then moved on. In a dollie 16 miles to the north of us lt was ambushed by over a thou sand dacolts and suffered a severe misfortune. There was not only heavy loss In killed ami wounded, but the treasure anti u portion of the sup plies were captured and run off. The remnant of the train returned to us and went Into camp until ro-en forccmcuts could come up, and the bullet headed, tyrannical Colonel Kora ble, whose obstinacy and recklessness bail brought about the disaster, pro ceeded to make lt rcdhot for every body. Any set of men except British soldiers would have mutinied and taken his life. Raging over his de feat and feeling Iiis helplessness, lie or dered out detachments and command ed them to bring in every native they could overhaul, lt was a well populat ed country, with hundreds Of loyal na tives to be picked up, but tho colonel proceeded to look upon each and every one as guilty of having had a hand In the attack on the train. More than a score were shot or hung offhand, while others were whipped at the post or ordered out of the district, lt was n reign of terror for three weeks, and the end was n Utting one. My own detachment ?me day brought In a mere boy whom we had found cowering In a thicket. I do not believe ho liad tho slightest knowledge of tho ambush or took any part in lt. Ile was ii timid lad. whose father had been one of the lirst ones hung, and be was so frightened that but iii tie could be got out of hiiii. The colonel bulldozed and browbeat him and tinnily ordered his execution OD the ground that be was n spy. li was only ?hen Itv knew that he must die thal the young follow braced up and showed his courage, and us 1)0 was being led away lo execution be said to the colonel: "Sahib Colonel, I am innocent, and you will be punished for my death You may shoot ino and bury my body, hut my spirit will follow you to the grave." Half an hour later he was dead, but he waa the last one to be ex"cnted. That evening as the colonel entered the officers' mess tent for supper nil of us noticed that he had a queer, troubled look on bis face and that he east fur tive glances behind bim. After a blt Ire tried to be Jocular, hut the effort was a failure. Ile said something about not feeling well, but nobody dar ed question bim. At midnight that night we got an explanation. Tho colonel enlled the sentinel Into his tent, and with white face and trem bling voice and the perspiration stand ing out on lils forehead he said: "Man, do you see that boy sitting on the chest?" "I see nobody, slr," replied the senti nel. "He is there, I tell you! He fol lowed me to mess and back, and ho Suffering Will Not Help Your Disease, but Will Weaken Your Nerves.

Ile tried to turn lt off with a laugh, hut In less than 24 boura every man in camp knew that tho colonel was haunted by a specter. He made a bravo off ort to bluff lt out, but lt was useless. The specter followed at lils heels by day and sat by his bedside at night, and in a week tho strong, aggressive mau was becoming a mental wreck. He turned to us for pity and sympathy, but we had little to give. Ile had been brutal in his vengeance. The surgeon looked upon the case nt first as some disorder of tho brain, but inter on acknowledged that lt was Homet liing beyond Iiis medicine. No one else could see the specter. The colonel would say that it sat beside him or stood In tho door, bul there was nothing for other eyes to rest upon. He would draw lils sword and cut and slash and thrust nt the specter, but he could not hu rm lt. Hy the surgeon's advice tho colonel returned to Qoruck* poor. It was reported ?is a case of breaking down over mental anxiety, but hundreds of people came to know better. Tho specter followed him back, followed Iilni to the house of a friend, sat with liiin through ?;very night and dogged nt Iiis l|ccls through every hour of tile day. He could no more shako lt off than lie could chango the color of his eyes. He made the gamest sort of light, knowing that his future career was at stake, and at length all men came to pity him pity him and avoid him as one accursed. Ho Was medically treated, given brief furloughs and every effort made to build him up, but at the end of eight months, every day and every night ol' which had Loon a terror to Iii in, he ended hy blowing out his brains. Was lt ii case of a man haunted by a spirit seeking revengeV It was not so reported officially, but from first to hist and from the highest to the lowest, and this includes two surgeons, it was fully and ll rm I)' believed thal it was, and tho uncanny affair had a great Influence over other officers in their future treatment of the natives.

I AM DETERMII LIVERY E JOB PUTO?! rr? The Host is Alwf In Memory of Miss Bennie Hunt. On Friday afternoon, April 21, the dark-robed angel of death ontered the home of Simon Hunt and convoyed from earth to heaven the spirit of Miss Bonnie Hunt. Only a few days before she had been in the bloom of health and joyous young womanhood, ministering with willing nandi? aud a loving heart to the needs and comforts of tho family. Gentle, kind and affectionate, she was the light of her home and the idol of her 'rieuds and relativos; of a cheerful, joyoca dis position, sho carried genial warmth and sunshine wherever abo went. Sho was frank and geuerous and would rather suiter herself than wound the feelings of a friend. To give pleasure to those around her soomod to be ber dolight. Less than a yoar ago she made a ti nal dedication of horsolf to tho sorvice of tho Master and was living a lifo of noble Christian simplicity and genuine helpful ness. Tho hearts of a father, throo brothers, two sisters and many relativos aro wrung by a grief that nothing eau re move. But may time aud tho assurance that they can some day moot her on a brighter shoro remove the gnawing pangs from that griof. In her Sunday school and in tho hearts of her friends is a place loft vacant which cannot be filled. But may tho memory of her who fol lowed life's dovious pathway, whether through light or shadow, with cheerful heart and oven tenor of way inspiro thom to nobler and fuller living. Lot us not sorrow without comfort for bor. The Father of all removed tho tlowor from earth in all of its freshness aud beauty and has transplautod it into tho Elysian fields to bloom t here in eter nal freshness and beauty. After all "Our birth is but.asleep and a forgetting; tho soul that rises with us, our life's star bath had elsewhere its setting, trailing clouds of glory do wo como from God, who is our homo." Bonnio has only re turned to that homo before tho glory of the light which came from thence with hor, had as sho traveled da ly further to ward tlio west, faded into tho light of common day. In life sim was so sweet and kind, Her gentle ways and quiet mien, Made friendly toward her every mind, Sure to bo loved wherever soon. ' To her tho world was bright and fair, And sweet was lifo and hope and lovo, Years lay 'tween ber and ages care, Hor voice was soft as cooing dove's. A motlier first, and sister fair, Tho Pa tb er called from earth away; Now she has gone to join them there, In Heaven to live eternally. Grief and sorrow, sighs ami tears, Grim death leaves through endless years, Nor spares to live tho brightest liowor, Nor delays Iiis work one single hour. We sorrow now that she is gone, And miss lier quiet, gentle smile, But who can say 'twill be so liing, Kro we shall moot in tho After-while! We cannot know the ways of God; Kar wiser ho than man; We'll trust Him while through lifo wo ' plod And try to moot in a brighter land.

New York, May 5.-Having failed to reach a verdict and declaring that they were hopelessly disagreed, tho jury in the Nan Patterson case was formally discharged at 2.20 o'clook this morning. The jury was given tho case at 1.80 o'clock yesterday and, after deliber ating twelve hours, came into court] at 1.80 o'clock this morning and in formed Recorder Goff that they had failed to roach a verdict. The jury declined the recorder's offer to aid them by advice on any point of law regarding which they might be in doubt, and were sent back to con tinuo their deliberations. At 2.20 o'clock the jury again entered the court room, where the recordor and other court officials wore in waiting, and the foreman announced that they had failed to agree on a ver dict. Ile added that their disa greement seemed hopoless of ad justment. Upon this announcement J Recorder Goff formally discharged tho twelve mon composing the third jury that bas considered this cele brated case. It is understood that a majority of tho jury was for acquit tal, but in what proportion they stood cannot bo ascertained. Miss Patterson collapsed on tho jury's announcement and fainted dead away. She was assisted from the court by ono of her counsel and several court attendants and revived in tho ante-room. On the second return of tho jury, Recorder Goff made a personal ap peal to tho foreman to endeavor again to reach a verdict. Tho fore man entered the jury box and polled tho jurors in opon court, but they were not able to agree. Thc recorder then asked them again if there was not sonio point in law or something he could do by which they might bo able to reach a verdict, but the jurors remained steadfast and finally de clared their verdict a disagremont. Recorder Goff, before dismissing the jury, cautioned thom not to toll how thoy stood. Sixteen miners wore killed by an explosion in the Big Run mino near | Dubois, Pa., last week. re a Cold in On?
