The Production of Coffee. The recent extraordinary rise in the price of Coffee has produced much dis cussion in commercial circles. The price of good Kio in cargo, : for instance, has within a few weeks advanced from 11 J cents to nearly 17 cents per pound, gold. Other descriptions of coffue have risen nearly as much. A glance at the history of the ooffee trado and at the influences which have brought about the recent changes in price will be interesting at this time, when this suddon and groat advance in price, indicating a scarcity of coffee, is followed by to-day's nows from Brazil, the ohief producing oountry, that the legislature has passed the bill for emancipating the slaves. The abolition of slavery in the British West Indies contributed, among other circumstances, to disturb the regular production of coffee. Boon after, in 1837, the West Indies, not including Ilayti, produced 49,000 tons, while the Dutch East Indies produced 26,000 tons. The total production of the world was 142,000 tons. In 1651 the proportion was as follows : West Indies, 20,000 ; Dutch East Indies, 82,000 ; total product, 275,000. In 1858 the change of relations appears still more remarkable: West Indies, 8,000; Dutch East Indies, 90,000; total, 342,600. The West Indian plantations were long neglected by their owners, who lived in Europe, leaving them to overseers. Coffee culture requires constant atten tion and cheap labor. It is not strange, therefore, that it sought more congenial regions. The government supervision and the coolie labor of Java and Ceylon were well suited to it. In Java and Fadang, the East Indian Company knew how to produce the best coffee at the cheapest rate. Ceylon rope from a pro duction of 34,000 hundred weights in 1837 to ten times as much in 1851, and this is again trebled in the present 6hort crop. Java, more subject to droughts and devastating storms, fluctuated a good deal more in supplying the markets. The lowest point reached was 15,000 tons in 1833, and the highest was 77,000 tons in 1855. Tho average yearly pro duct during the four successive decades of years, from 1831 to 1871, has been 37,000, 58,000, 61,000, and 55,000 tons re spectively. The Brazils, with abundant black la bor, in the meantime rose to prominence in the coffee market. Beginning with 1821, the average production, per year during the four following poriods of ten years, was: 19,000, 49,000, 97,000 and 144,000 tons. The average thon fell oil to 128,000 tons during the soven years aicer iboi. Among the coffee producing countries near the United States the production of sugar has been encroaching in a remark able manner on that of coffee. Tho value of sugar, only 1 cents per pound ou the plantation in 1817, has been quadrupled since that time, while the value of coffee has only been doubled. Two influences Lave tended to the ad vance : the abolition of slavery in the West Indies already mentioned, and the depreciation of gold. In Cuba, if we ex cept the Santiago district, coffee cultiva tion has ceased altogether, and in other islands, except in Porto liico, it has con tinued with varying and uncertain re sults. This ohange of the field of production is a very important fact. When the production was scattered over the world, we were less subject to the chances of a " short crop," because the local influences of one part of the world would not be felt in another. Now, however, the pro duction is confined to the Brazils and two large islands in the Indian Ocean. A favorable or unfavorable season in any one of these three coffee-raising countries produces a marked effoct in the amount and price of the staple. To this cause of fluctuation mux, ha nririori the uncertainty as to the renewal of the Dutch East India Company's charter. If the charter is not renewed" labor com plications in Java will follow; the auc tion sales may cease, and the vessels of all nations will come into competition with those of the Dutch merchants, which are now employed in regular or der. This would produce irregularity in transportation. It is an interesting fact that in Europe the consumption of coffee has increased slowly, varying with tho price and the duties imposed, and ranging from one pound lor each porson in England to eleven pounds in Holland. In our own country the consumption in 1821 was one pound four ounces for each person; in 1839, six pounds; in 1851, eight and a half pounds. Our total consumption in 1842 was 67,000 tons ; in 1862 it was only 40,000 tons, and last year it was 124,000 tons. In 1851, Europe consumed 186,000 and the United States, 76,000 tons total 262, 000. In 18G7 the proportion was aB fol lows : Europe, 282,000 ; United States, 92,000 ; total 374,000. In 1870 : Europe, 347,000 ; United States, 124,000 ; total, 471,000. If our population numbers one hundred millions in the year 1900, as many predict that it will, we should consume at the present rate per person (nearly eight pounds,) 357,000 tons of coffee. The consumption in this country has been rapidly increasing of late, on account of the lower duty, and the great er demand of the colored population in the Southern States. This demand is principally for Kio. The increased de mand among the whites is mostly for Java and Maracaibo. The consumption will be checked, of course, by the rise in value. As emancipation is now imminent in the Brazils, we must be prepared for a low production in the future, especially if the slaves are suddenly liberated. If the coffee production of a country is once interrupted it requires time to fill the vacancy in the market, because the coffee tree does not begin to bear until its fifth, year. High values produced by interruption are more permanent, there fore, in the coffee trade than in any other, except in the case of certain spices. The estimates of the short crops, however, which are now made and pub lished must not be taken with too much credulity, as the range of area under cultivation is so large that it is impossi ble to judge of the crop with accuracy. The lowest estimate oi the deficiency in tte crop now given by intelligent stu dents of the subject are as follows ; For the Brazils, 70,000 tons ; for Java, 20, 000 ; for Ceylon, 10,000. .Y. J'. EveiunQ Pout. In one day last week, Bays the Horry (Cta.) Jteut, Mr. B. O. W. Grissett and his neighbor Jones, killed, in a lake near his house, thirty-five alligators; the next day returning to the same place, he and his son Forney killed ten wore, making forty-five in all. These amphibious animals ranged in length from two and a half to eight feet. How Advertising Don't Pny. The expressions, "Advertising don't pay,": " Don't see that advertising does any good," Aic, are familiar to tho ears of the solicitor ot advertising for newspa per columns. . . The r&al business man, hqwover, never makes uso of such expressions, for the reason that be patronises the only legiti mate and jndicipus means of advertis ing, and snoh as always pays. lie gives his advertising to the newspapers, and steers clear of the numerous clap-trap humbugs presented before him daily by Tom, Dick.and Harry, each of whom has either some new fraud, or some played out dodge that is new to somebody. One has a business guide, the advertising pages of which he generously offers for, say ten to forty dollars each. They gen erally stick for big prioes, stating that an immense edition is to be printed, when in reality there are usually issued ;ws( one copy to each advertiser, as proof that the contract has been fulfilled (V) As an inducement to others, the getter up of the fraud displays to his intended victim several orders for pages from shrewd business men. "Here's Smithers & Son take a full page," says he, " and here's another full page order from Clingtight & Qrabem, the bankers." Very nice bait this, and of course de ceives many. The outside, covers, and binding are generally sold to all who will engage them, each person so engaging of course getting what he pays for (in a horn). Business guides and street directories are not the only means employed by these tramps ; city maps, street guidos, &c, stuck around with business cards, are hung up in a few barber shops, the proprietors of which allow their walls to be thus disfigured. These frauds are highly puffed up by the agent, who ar gues that as everybody shaves, conse quently everybody will see these cards I for the printing and hanging up of which he modestly charges his dupes from two to ten dollars each ; in fact, ho has no established price ; if he cannot get ten dollars, be generously comes down to five or even two dollars, and will often accept of even a single dollar, rather than nothing. Another and fa vorite dodge which wakes up scmi-occa-sionally, is that of the hotel mirror, and another the post-oflioe thermometer and barometer, which indicates the same temperature and weather throughout the year. These latter are well known to most of our city readers, and aro another spe cies of card fraud, being surrounded with a dozen or two business cards, and then hung up tor a few days, long enough to admit of the dues being collected by the enterprising agent. Willard's Hotel, of this city, furnishes an example of the above. Shortly before the closing of the hotel the proprietor lntormea us that actually a cord or two of this trash, for which somebody hod paid heavily, was stowed away with other rubbish in tho cellar of the building. Who are the supporters of these frauds 'i To say that all who are represented in such are deficient in business qualifica tions bo far as advertising is concerned, would bo assuming a good deal, and would be saying what we do not by any means deBire to be understood to mean. We do say, however, without fear of successful contradiction, that the very few advertisements of shrowd business men which are displayed in the frauds of which we write, are not ordered by the parties at all, but are simply bait at which others bite. The swindlers who "make their swag" off of these frauds, are, generally speak ing, without permanent location, their home being " under their hat," and their office in their breast pocket ; they stop long enough to do a place pretty thor oughly, and when out of territory to operate in, pull up stakes, and seek new fields to conquer, leaving behind them numerous unDaid bills for rent, board, printing, clothing, whiskoy, &c, not to mention unpaid wages and commissions to canvassers employed by them to so licit orders. These vagabonds are the persistent foes of all legitimate advertising me diums, and mako it a part of their busi ness to depreciate and misrepresent newspapers whenever occasion offers. This they call business tact. It is a fact well worthy of note that nearly every business man who com plains that advertising don't pay, is a patron of these wandering humbugs and advertising tramps, and ample proof that the kind of advertising patronized by them don't pay, is to be bad by the appearance of closed doors, and shutters ticketed removed (to a cheaper place), or closed, (for want of custom). Newspapers, hand-bills, and posters are the only judicious modes of advertis ing, and THEY ALWAYS tay. 'Washing ton, Standard. Ice Fleas. F. Frauklaud writes in Nature : During a recent ramble upon the Mor toratsch Glacier, I turned over some of the isolated stones which lie upon its surface partially imbedded in the ice ; under many of them I found hundreds of a jet black insect, which jumped many times its own length, at a single spring, in a manner somewhat resembling the performance of a common flea. The ice ilea is about one-twelfth of an inch long. Viewed through a pocket lens, it was seen to have six legs, supporting a body obscurely jointed like that of a bee, and furnished with two jointed antenmo. The total length of the insect appeared to be about six times its tbioxueaa, the antenmo being about one-fourth as long as the body. The insects were not found under every stone, they generally occurred under flatfish fragments of rock, presenting a surface ot about a square foot, and having a thickness of from two to four inches. Occasionally the ice basin is drained, and it was under stones resting in such comparatively dry basins that the insects were found. In all cases nearly the whole of the fleas were found upon the ice, very few being attached to the stones. They were grouped together in shoals, so that probably forty or fifty of buoiu jrcquuutiy reomu upon a Bingie square inch of ice. On removing the stones, the insects were very lively, but this might be owing to their sudden transition from comparative darkness to direct sunlight. The Invariable formula for the exor dium of a publio document addressed to the throne of China, is in the following terms, taken at random from The Peliitg Uaeette: " Tso-Tsun-Taud, degraded 3 steps, but with retention of rank, Im perial Commissioner, Marquis of first rank, and Governor-General of Kansuh and Shensi, kneeling, presents an ad dress to the throne. Looking up, he re quests the sacred glance on his reverent memorial, sent by express, on the sub ject," o. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Bueedino rou Wool and Breeding fob Mutton. Tht Live tHoch Journal says ; Now that sheep are again attract ing attention, the advocates for the dif ferent breeds aro waxing warm. When either one con fines hiuiaulf to setting forth the merits of a particular variety, he generally does not overrate the good points of bis favorite ; but when he in stitutes comparisons with a view to prove that under all circumstances a par ticular breed is better than all others, he seems to us to go wide of the truth. We believe there are few localities in this oountry where improved stock of this class can be grown at all, in which either of the better breeds, in the hands of a thorough shepherd, would not for a scries of years prove reasonably re munerative. At the same time, we en tertain little doubt that some varieties would, under certain conditions of soil, climate, and accessibility to market, prove more profitable than others. It seems highly probable that both mutton and wool can be grown on the great central plains of the United States, in open competition with the production of South America, Australia, or else where ; and at the same time there is no more reason to suppose that sheep husbandry in the older States will thus be rendered unprofitable, than that the Bheep husbandry of Germany, France, or England, will be suspended, and bcoome a thing of the past from the same cause. The incidental benefits of sheep raising to general agrioulture are such as to insure the continuance of that branch of live stock husbandry, and, aB soils are more and more imperative, the va rieties to be grown may bo safely loft to local conditions, and the individual pref erence of each shepherd or farmer. Fattening; Cattle on Grass. In Great Britain and Ireland the wealth iest and most independent farmers are those who occupy large farms of good grass land, and who fatten and Bell an nually large numbers of cattle. This class of farmers are called graziers; they keep very little of the land in tillage, do not winter large numbers of cattle, but buy two or three-year-old heifers and steers in the spring, keep them on choice pasture during the sum mer and autumn, and sell Defore the animals begin to lose flesh lato in the fall. The vast herds of Texan cattle aro sometimes managed in a similar way, being purchased when in a low condition, and drive on the ranche and succulent prairie grass until they have become nearly fat. Farmers who have good grass laud should devote at least a portion of it to fattening stock; good two or three-year-old heiters and steers, kept on a rich pasture for six months, would probably pay better than inferior tillage. The money would all come to gether, and the cost of transportation, compared with that of cereals, would be trifling. Every farmer should fatten all bis young stock that are not requir ed for the dairy or yoke. Selling stock of any kind before they are properly made up tor tne market is very bad management, and a great deal of money is lost by f armrs every year in this woy. voimant aural world. Economy of Lono Furrows in Plowing. A German agricultural jour nal observes that farmers usually pay very little attention to tho length of the furrows to be plowed in a field, and yet great waste of time and labor is the necessary consequence of unsuitable arrangements m this respect. The turning of the plow and the commenc ing of a now furrow roquires more exertion in the plowman and the team than continued work on a straight line. ana how great may really be the loss of time from irequent interruptions in short turns may be shown by the fol lowing calculation : In a field 225 feet long, fivo and a half hours out of ten are used in redirecting the plow ; with a length of 575 feet, four hours are suffi cient for the purpose, and when the plow can proceed without interruption for 800 feet, one and a half hours of the daily working time are consumed. Henco the rule to make the furrows as long as circumstances will admit. American and (Jcrninn Farming. A correspondent of the Springfield Re publican, writes from Dresden : Ut the two and a half millions inhab itants of Saxony, two-thirds live in the country (piatt-iana; and lau.uuo ara land-owners, 80,000 possessing each moro than two acres, and 100,000 being their own farmers, i. e., working their own soil. The valuation of the land outside of the cities reaches nearly $600,000,000, and an annual harvest is valued at $15,- 000,000. The 50,000 farms of Massachu setts, with a valuation in land of less than one-fifth as much, get more than two-thirds as much for their crops as the Saxen farmers. The Saxon farmers. however, never ask whether farming pays. They maintain a slow, but sure prosperity, and during the last third of a century have advanced the rate of pro duction proportionately with an increase ot nearly 00 per cent, in population, This advance has not been through the American avenue of introducing new methods, but probably by a closer and more desperate forcing of the old and settled methods of farming. The railway recently took me over thousands of acres of crops in the process of harvesting, in the kingdom and rrus sian province of Saxony, a region for the most part that would delight the eye of even an American farmer, lying as level and mellow to the plow as the gentle rolling billows of Illinois. Often as far as the eye could reach on either side of the railroad, stretched one culti vated expanse, unmarred by fences, but checkered all over with the infinite interchange of cropB, scarcely any one field of one crop being of more than one or two acres in extent. Yet in all these thousands of " flurs" (certainly here field is a " floor") not a mowing or reap ing machine or horserake was to be seen. Every swath had been haggled off and tumbled together by the old-fashioned scythe, every winrow of bay bad been collected with a puttering hand-rake, every sheaf of grain bound by a woman's arms, and when the crop bad finally gone off upon wheelbarrows or drawn by harnessed cows, the serried rows of stub ble exposed the antiquity of the mower's tools and his or ber unskilfulness in using even those. Imagine a scythe only three feet in length, four inches broad at the hoel, fixed in a straight snath, and a band-rake with a young sapling stripped of its bark for a handle, and you have specimens of the outfit of a German haymaker. Muscatine, Iowa, has 60,000 bushels of grain awaiting shipment, and dealers complain bitterly of meagre transpor tation iaciuuea. A Siamese Custom, The recent death of the King of Riara and the ascension of a new ruler has brought to notice a curious custom which is peculiar to the Siamese nation. It is called " marking the people." Every male subject of the government must . Sfllect a aov eminent official whom he will vaongnioe as bis master, and thnn must have a mark on the back of one of his wrists indicating the department to which he is thus at tached. All persons thus marked are liable to be colled upon to render per sonal servioe in tho department to whioh they belong. The government ofiioial is responsible for the government work according to the number of men marked to him. It is in many cases optional with the master whether he will require personal service or accept substitutes or money for procuring them. But, in some cases, personal service must bo exacted. The amount of service requir ed varies considerably. Some are re quired to give their whole timo, receiv ing a nominal salarv only, wholly inad equate to their support even in the style oi me poorest class ol laooreru iu mat country. But, as a rnle, they are re quired to give only a portion of time a certain portion of each month, quar ter or half year. This system of mark ing is unpopular with the people, and at such times as it is to be enforced the greatest vigilance is required on the part of government officials to prevent a general emigration from the country of those subject to the mark.
