PATENTED MAY 29, 1800.
mmS is an article for washing without
I rubbing, except in very dirty places, which
will require a very slight rub, and unlike other
preparations offered for a like purpose, will not
rot the clothes, but will leave them much whiter
than ordinary methods, without the usual wear
and tear*. It removes grease as if by magic, and
softens the dirt by soaking, so that rinsing will
in ordinary cases entirely remove It. The pow
der Is prepared in accordance with chemical sci
ence, and upon a process peculiar to itself, which
is secured by Letters Patent. It has been in. use
for more than a year, and lias proved itself an
universal favorite wherever it has been used. —
Among the advantages claimed are the follow
ing It saves all the expense of soap usually used
on cotton and linen goods. It saves most of the
labor of rubbing, and wear and tear. Also, for
cleaning windows it is unsurpassed. ‘With-one
quarter the time and labor usually required it
imparts a beautiful gloss and lustre, much supe
rior to any other mode. No water required ex
cept to moisten the powder. Directions with
each package. And can bo readily appreciated
by a single trial. The cost of washing for a fam
ily of five or six persona will not exceed threis
cents. The manufacturers of this powder are
aware that many useless compounds have been
introduced to the public which have rotted the
cloth, or failed in removing the dirt, but knowing
the intrinsic excellence of this article, they con
fidently proclaim it as being adapted to meet a
demand which has long existed, and which lias
heretofore remained misapplied. Manufactured
by * * HOWE & STEVENS,
2GO Broadway, Boston.
Also, manufacturers of family Dye Colors. For
sale by Grocers and Dealers everywhere.

J. W. BRADLEY’S
CELEBRATED PATENT
DUPLEX ELLIPTIC *
(OB DO XJBLB SPRING) SKIP T,
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort and
pleasure to any lady wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Skirt will bo experienced particularly in all
crowded assemblies, operas, carriages, rail-road
cars, church pews, arm chairs, for promenade and
house dress, as the skirt can be folded when In
use to occupy a small place as easily and conven
iently as a silk or muslin dress, an invaluable
quality in crinoline, not found in any Single
Spring Skirt.
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort,
and great convenience of wearing the Duplex
Elliptic Steel Spring Skirt for a single day, will
never afterwards willingly dispense with their
use. For Children, Misses and Young Ladies they
are superior to all others.
They will not bend or break like the Single
Spring, but will preserve their porfectand grace
ful shape when three or four ordinary Skirts will
have been thrown aside as useless. The Hoops
are covered with Double and twisted thread, and
the bottom rods are not only double springs, but
twice (or double) covered; preventing them from
wearing out when dragging down sloops, stairs,
&c., <&c.
The Duplex Elliptic is a great favorite with all
ladies aud is universally recommended by the
Fashion Magazines as the Standard Skirt of the
fashionable world.
To enjoy the following inestimable advantages
in Crinoline, viz: superior quality, perfect man
ufacture, stylish shape and finish, flexibility, du
rability, comfort and economy, enquire for J. W.
Bradley’s Duplex Elliptic, or Double Spring
Skirt, and be sure you get the genuine article.
Caution,—' To guard against imposition bo par
ticular to notice that skirls offered as “ Duplex”
have the red Ink stamp, viz: “J. W. Bradley’s
Duplex Elliptic Steel Springs,” upon the waist
band—none others are genuine. Also notice that
every. Hoop will admit a pin being passed
through the centre, thus revealing the two (or
double) springs braided together therein, which
is the secret of their flexibility and strength, and
a combination not to bo found In any other
Skirt.
For sale in all Stores where first class skirts are
sold throughout the United States and else
where. Manufactured by the solo owners of the
Patent.

’Tis sad, but sweet to listen
To tho soft wind’s gentle swell,
And think wo hear tho music
Our children loved so well;
To gaze out on tho eve,
And tho boundless fields of air,
And feel again our boyhood’s wish,
To roam like angels thoro.
There aro many dreams of gladness
That cling around tho past,
And from tho tomh of feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast
Tho forms wo loved so dearly,
In tho happy days now gone,
Tho beautiful and lovely,
So lair to look upon.
Those bright and gontto maidens.
Who scorned so formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such a world as this 1
Whoso dark soft eyes scorn’d swimming
In a sea of liquid light,
And whoso locks of gold tvero streaming
O’or brows sunny and bright.
Like the brightest buds of summer
They have fallen from tho stem ;
Yet, oh! It Is n lovely dream.
To fade from earth like them.
And yet tho thought Is saddening,
To mnao on such ns they.
And feel that all tho beautiful
Aro passing swift away 1
That tho fair ones whom wo love.
Grow to each loving breast,
Like tendrils of tho clinging vino,
And perish whore they rest.
Tho county of , 11 away up in tho
mountains,” boasts of one of the best
judges in California. On the bench he
is firm, decided and prompt, not caring a
snap of the finger for either the applause
of friends or the muttering of enemies.—
Ho is, perhaps, the most devoted man to
the law in all creation, and has his hand
so full of what he terms “judicial talk,”
that he not unfrequently finds himself
making learned charges, and passing sen
tences outside the court-room.
On a recent occasion the judge was call
ed to exercise the “ power and authority
in him vested," in the case of a young
couple who desired wedlock. Of course
he consented to perform tho pleasant du
ty and on tho appointed evening was
promptly at hand at the hour at which
the affair was to come off. The room
was crowded by the beauty and fashion
of the town, and none looked more digni
fied or happy than the judge himself,
who was dressed within an inch of his
life.
H. S. RITTER,
The wine had passed round and round
—the music had ceased—the time had
ceased—the time for making Joseph. Bow
ers and Nancy Harkins one had arrived.
Every heart throbbed with the most de
lightful emotions. The young gentle
men desired to know how Joe would
stand it, and the young ladies were anx
ious to see how- Nancy would suffer the
anxious. Others again, who had closely
observed the turn of affairs during tho
evening, fixed their attention upon tho
judge, to see how he would come out of
the scrape.
At length the trying moment was an
nounced, the judge rose very cautiously
from tho chair which he occupied in one
corner of the room, and-casting his oyes
over the company, he singled out the
sheriff of the county, who was present as
an invited guest. Thejudgo hadjust im
bibed enough to make him forget the na
ture of his business. He was full of his
“judicial talk,” and required nothing
but the presence of the sheriff to start
him. Looking sternly at that officer, he
shouted:
“Mr. Sheriff, open the court, and call
order.”
A general twitter followed this com
mand, in the midst of which Mr. Sheriff
took the "court” by the arm, and led him
to his seat in the corner, at tho same time
informing tho august personage of the.
mistake.
Every tiling now bid fair for a pleasant
and sudden termination of the affair, un
til another annoyance, which was noth
ing else than the absence of tho bride
groom, was observed.. It turned out that
he had just stepped across tho street to
join his friends in a parting drink; but
before his return some cool-blooded wag
had whispered into tho ear of our old fo
gy the cause of 11 the delay of the proceed
ings.” Instantly the chair in the corner
moved, and in that direction all eyes
were fixed.
GILT FRAMES.
“ Mr. Sheriff,” slowly bawled the judge,
“ bring Joe into the court on a supenar,
(thejudgo had his own way of pronounc
ing the word;) then, addressing the
bride, who had stood in the foreground
and hung her head in deep confusion, ho
added, " X s’posa you are the plaintiff?—
Well, don’t take on. Innocence and vir
tue will be protected in this here court.”
This was the saddest blunder of all. —
The judge was again made to see his mis
take, and would have been considerably
set back had it not been for a corrective
in the shape of “ forty drops of the crit
ter,” which he instantly applied.
In a few moments all was ready in
right down earnest. The bridegroom had
arrived, full of joy. The excitement was
intense. He evidently felt every inch a
judge.
“ J-J-o-oB B-o-w-e-r-s,” commenced the
man of law in that distressing style of
speech with which he -was Invariably
troubled when under the influence of
liquor, “ J-J-o-o B-B-o-w-e-r-s, stand up.
Have y-y-you anything to s-s-ay w-why
s-s-sentence .”
“ Stop, stop, stop, Judge,” shouted tho
sheriff, from the back part of the room :
“ you are not going to hang tho man, but
marry him.”
The judge drew a long breath, and
blinked rapidly, but he stood his ground
well. Recovering himself he proceeded—
“ J-J-o-o B-B-o-w-e-r-s, do y-you take
Nancy H. Harkins for y-your wife, so
help me God?”
This was a tolerable effort, and Joe nod
ded assent.
“ N-Nanoy Harkens, it now remains for
this c-court to -”
Here the sheriff again interrupted tho
judge, reminding him of the real business
of the evening.
“Miss N-Nancy,” resumed the judge,
after being set aright, “ d-d-do y-you y-y
-you t-take Joe B-Bowera for a. husband
t-to the best of your knowledge' and b-be
lief, or do you not?”
“ You can bet I will,” softly answered
the light-hearted Nancy.
The judge then took the hands of the
happy couple, and joining them, wound
up as follows:
“It now r-remains for this h-here
c-court to pronounce you J-Joe Bowers,
and y-you Nancy Harkens, man and
wife; and (here the judge paused to wipe
the perspiration from his face) m-may
G-G-Qod Or-mity have mercy on y-y
-your s-s-souls! Sheriff, remove the cul

The company roared. Joe and Nancy
weakened. The sheriff was taking with
a leaving. The judge let himself loose in
a glass of applejack.; It was tho greatest
wedding ever witnessed.

JOE BOWER’S WEDMIfG,
THE INTELLIGENCE OF BRUTES.
From " The Harmonics of Nature," an
interesting volume just published by the
Appletons, we extract the following par
agraphs on tho intelligence of animals:
As tho mammalia or man’s nearest re
lation, in a physical point of view, they
are also endowed with an Intelligence su
perior to that of other animals, and not
seldom prompting them to actions which
seem rather to belong to the sphere of
reason than to that of brute instinct. —
Tho chimpanzee, for instance, will lock
or unlock a .door or drawer, and cannot
bo taken in fay the same tiling twice.
A dog in a monastery, perceiving that
the monks receive their meals by rapping
at a buttery door, contrived to do like
wise, and when the allowance was push
ed through and thedoor shut, ran off with
it. This was repeated till tho thief iv as
■detected.
Another dog belonging to Mr. Taylor,
a clergyman who lived near Colton at
Wolosy Bridge, was accused of killing
many sheep. Complaints wore made to
his master, who asserted that tho thing
was impossible, because he was muzzled
every night. The neighbors persisting
in the charge, the dog one night was
watched, and he was seen to draw his
neck out of the muzzle, then to go into a
field and eat as much of a sheep as would
satisfy his appetite. He next went into
tho river to wash his mouth and return
ed afterwards to tho kennel, put his head
in the muzzle, and lay very quietly down
to sleep.
Mr. Morgan, a surgeon in Paris, had
taken into his house a dog of a friend,
which had broken its leg, and good hu
moredly cured it. Some time after, the
dog scratched at Mri Morgan’s study,
and on being admitted, introduced anoth
er dog, to whom some accident had hap
pened, and who could hardly crawl along
after his guide. The first dog plainly
showed by his caresses what ho wanted,
and the surgeon admiring his sagacity,
took charge of his protege, and cured him
likewise.
As the elephant surpasses all that
breathes on dry laud in bulk and muscu
lar power, his mental faculties also as
sign to him one of tho first places in the
animal creation. When tamed it becomes
the most gentle and obedient of all do
mestic quadrupeds, and in most cases it
becomes fond of its keeper, and soon
learns to distinguish the various tones of
the human voice, as expressive of auger,
approbation or command. His strength
is rendered doubly serviceable to man by
the intelligence he evinces in its use. He
will load a boat with amazing dexterity,
carefully keeping all tho articles dry, and
disposing them where they ought to be
placed. lu propelling wheel carriages
up a declivity, he pushes them forward
with his forehead and supports them
with his knees.
In Ceylon where elephants aro froquou t
ly employed in dragging and piling tim
ber, they manifest intelligence anti dex
terity which is surprising to a stranger,
because the sameness of tho operation en
ables them to go for hours, disposing of
log after log, almost without a hint or di
rection froin their overseers. Sir E. Ten
ent mentions two elephants thus employ
ed in the yards attached to the commis
sarist atColumbo, who accomplished their
work with equal precision and with great
er rapidity than if it had been by dock
laborers. When the pile had attained n
certain height, and they were no longer
able, by their conjoint efforts, to raise ono
of tho heavy logs of ebony to the summit,
they had been taught to lean two pieces
against the heap, up tho inclined plane
of which they gently rolled the remain
ing logs and placed them firmly on tho
top.
RAILWAY OVER THE ALPS.
The pass over Mont Cenis, joining the
fertile fields of Sardinia tiud Savoy, lias al
ways been the favorite of alpine passes. —
Although the military route for ages, the
road was in a deplorable condition till, by
the enterprise of Napoleon, a substantial
carriage way was constructed at an ex
pense to the government of seven million
francos. For a number of years past this
road, in connection with tue French and
Italian railroads and the Adriatic steam
ers, lias formed tho most direct and expe
ditious mail route to India and the East.
Tlie slow and tedious mountain passage,,
originated the project of completing the
missinglinkofrailway communication by
tunneling the Alps.
Whether this gigantic undertaking will
ever be completed, admits of doubt. In
the meantime, a company has been start
ed with the design of accomplishing this
same object by constructing a railroad
over the summit of the mountain.
Mr. Pell, an English engineer, read an
interesting paper on the subject before the
British Association, aud his statements
leave no doubt as to the feasibility of the
plan. Both the French and Italian gov
ernments favor the enterprise ; operations
have already begun, and in all probability
the road will bo completed hy March
next.
From the difficulties to bo overcome, tho
work must fairly be ranked as one of the
greatest in the records of engineering.
The inclines to be traversed by this
road—without exception the steepest ever
attempted—require a special construction
both In the railway Itself and locomotive.
Tho variations of climate during the
year—always an important cosideration
in allowing for adhesion, or bite of the
driving wheels on the rail—constitue hero
an Important element, and necessitates
the employment of a third or center rail.
By this means not only is the proper
amount of adhesion produced, but the ad
ditional advantage is obtained of furnish
ing means for applying an increased
amount of brake power, aud also prevent
ing all possibility of either car leaving tho
track.
The engines and carriages have each,
in addition to the usual vertical wheels,
four horizontal wheels, having flanges
underlapping the center rail, connected
with brakes so as to grip tho rails; these;
in connection with the usual sets, give a
brake pressure of 60 tons in an engine
weighing 16 to 17 tons.
This principle of obtaining theadhosion
required, in order to develop tractive
force on railways, is equally applicable to
au even much steeper gradient, than any
found on the Mont Cenis road, and that
consistently with economical expense of
mechanical power.
figy The following story of a Now York
broker shows something of Charles
Lamb’s delicate humor. Tire broker,
who, like Lamb, stutters, passing down
Broadway, noticed a placard announcing
that tho Siamese Twins were on exhibi
tion. He entered tho hall, asked tho at
tendant if they wore the re-re-real Siam
ese twins; and upon being assured that
they were, proceeded to ask a great many
questions, which were fully answered.—
At last, seizing hold of tho ligature that
connects Chang and Eng, the broker
asked “Sa-a-me age?” "Yes,” replied
the Agent; when looking into the latter’s
face, the stutterer remarked, “ B-b-broth
ers I presume.”
jgy Two Quaker girls were ironing on
the same table. One asked the other
which side she would take, tho righ t or
loft. She answered, promptly, “ It will
be right for me to take tholeft. and then
it will be left for thee to take the right.”
INCONSISTENCIES OF MINERS,
Even amongst misers, however, there
are exceptions to the rule of uniform pe
nuriousness. Elwcs, who added to nis
own fortune another inherited from his
uncle, botli amounting to half a million
sterling, would dine offa hard boiled egg,
or a piece of pancake which ho had kept
for two mouths in his pocket. But he
would lose thousands at play to men of
fashion, pay his debts and never ask for
his winnings, which ho thought would bo
ungenllemanly. He would not lay out a
a penny on the education of his two sons.
Ho thought that putting thingsinto their
heads was like taking money out of their
pockets. But when Lord Abingdon made
a match for seven thousand pounds,
Elwes, who knew ho had not the money,
offered to lend it to him. He would walk
from one end of Loudon to another in the
rain to avoid payiugashilling for acoach;
would eat his meat putrid rather than
order a fresh joint; and sit in wot clothes
rather than light a Are to dry them ; wore
a cast-off which he had picked out of a
a ditch ; and having torn his own coat,
took one from the family chest which had
belonged to an ancestor, with cloth sleeves
made of green velvet.
But to a merchant who conciliated him
with a present of wine he lent seven hun
dred pounds, and a frilling present, or
work done for him for nothing, was tol
erable sure to be followed by a loan of
money. Ho would lot a poor man starve
before he would aid him, yet in bonds to
peers and others, and on some American
property, be is said to have lost one hun
dred and fifty thousand pounds. There
wore occasional touches of humor in him.
At a shooting party, a bad shot fired
carelessly, wounded him in the cheek. “I
give you joy,” ho said, “of your improve
ment, I knew you would by and by hit
something.” At another time, having cut
both his legs deeply, ho with difficulty
was persuaded to employ a surgeon. But
ho would only incur this expense in favor
of one leg. Ho would manage the other
himself, and offered to bet that It would
get well first, and it did.
Thomas Guy was another exception.—
His wealth was enormous, and at one
time ho had promised to marry his maid
the only servant ho kept. Ho had order
ed the pavement before his door, to bo
mended up to a particular spot. Tho girl
observing a broken stone beyond this
point, told the workmen to mend it also.
“ Tell Mr. Guy,” she said, “ I bade you
do it and he will not be angry.” Tho
marriage was to have taken place two
days afterwards, and the girl reasonably
presumed she might exercise this little
piece of authority. But she soon discov
ered her mistake. Guy was so angry at
the additional expense in which she had
involved him that he broke off tho match.
Yet he built three Wards on tho north
side of St. Thomas' Hospital, endowed
them with a hundred pounds a year for
eleven years, and afterwards built a hos-'
pital which bears his name, at a coat of
£219,000.
FIRMNESS OF CHARACTER.
It Is wonderful to see what miracles a
resolute and unyielding spirit wi 11 achieve.
Before its irresistible energy the most for
midable obstacles become as cob-web bar
riers In its path. Firmness of purpose is
like the crushing avalanche, which sweeps
everything before it while in motion.—
Difficulties, the terror of which causes the
undetermined to shrink back with dis
may, provoke from the man of lofty' de
termination only a smile. The wholo
history of our race—all nature, indeed —
teems wth examples to show what may
be accomplished by intrepid perseverance
and patient toil.
It is related of Tamerlane, the celebra
ted warrior, the terror of whoso army
spread through all eastern nations, and
whom victory attended at almost every
stop, that he once learned from an insect
an example of perseverance, which had a
striking effect on his future character and
success. When closely pursued by his
enemies, ns the anecdote is related, he
took refuge in some old ruins, where, loft
to his solitary musings, ho espied an ant,
striving and tugging to carry away a sin
gle grain of corn. His unavailing efforts
were repeated sixty-nine times, and at
each several time, so soon as he reached a
certain point ho fell back with his burden
unable to surmount it. But the seventieth
time he bore away his spoil in triumph
and left the wondering hero reanimated
in the hope of future victory.
How pregnant the lesson this incident
conveys! How many thousand incidents
there are in which inglorious defeat ends
the career of the timid and desponding,
when the same tenacity of purpose, the
same unflinching perseverance, would
crown it with triumphant success !
Desolation is almost omnipi tent. Sheri
dan was at first timid, and obliged to sit
down in the midst of a speech. Convinc
ed of and mortified at the cause of his fail
ure, he said one day to a friend, “ It is in
me, and shall come out.” From that mo
ment he rose and shone, and triumphed
in a consummate eloquence. Here was
reason and resolution.
A Long Dance. —An ingeniousFronch
mathematician lias calculated that the
space which a young Parisian belle, who
is fond of the salutary exorcise of danc
ing, traverses in the gay salons of Paris
amounts, in the course of on# dancing
season, to four hundred and thirty-four
miles and a half. Ho has also estimated
that a French lady, fond of performing
the functions of a teetotum, would spin
round in a waltz in one night as many
times as the wheels of a steamboat re
volve while running the distance between
Dover and Calais.
Sensible Maxims. —Never taste an
atom when you are not hungry ; it is sui
cidal.
Never hire servants who go in pairs, as
sisters, cousins, or anything else.
Never speak of your father as the 11 old
man.”
Never reply to the epithet of a drunk
ard, a fool, or a fellow.
Neverspeak contemptuously of woman
kind
Never abuse one who was once your bo
som friend, however bitter now.
Never insult poverty.
An “ emigrant,” who had been
somewhat roughly dealt with by the
“wildcat” gentry of Virginia city, thus
expresses ills opinion of that lively town :
" If Gabriel happens to.light at Virginia
city, there’ll be no resurrection, for-they’ll
swindle him out of his horn before he can
make a single hoot-a-toot.”
“ On ! mamma, mamma, “said a tow

COFFEE—ITS NATURE, CONSUMPTION
The coffee-plant Is a native of Yemen,
In Arabia; the time of its introduction
into Europe, is unknown; it is mention
ed in a work, published in 1573, by a Ger
man physician named L. Eauwolff. The
Turks have coffee-houses, in which they
meet to sip their liquid, and chat together
like Englishmen in their ale-houses. Cof
fee-houses are common in Germany, and
were at one time more common in Eng
land than at tho present moment. Tho
firstcoffee-housoopened in London washy
a merchant of Turkey, named Edwards ;
this was in 1G52. Coffee was in public use
before that time In Franco.
When coffee was first introduced into
Britain it met with the most furious oppo
sition from old and young, grave and gay,
men and women fair. In. 1764,the wo
men in England partitioned Parliament
against allowing the use of coffeCT, in
which petition it was stated, “ that men,
by its use, became, like the desert of Ara
bia, and that if Us use was preslsted in,
the offspring of mighty Anglo-Saxon an
cestors would dwindle into a succession
of apes and pigmies; and on a domestic
message, a husband whuld stop on the
way to drink a couple of cups of coffee.”
Here we see the fair sex were-jealous for
the honor of good old English ale.; and
tho question is, were they notright? Cof
fee, however, had and still has its advo
cates ; it has been stated by them, that
wherever ithasbeenintroduced, drunken
ness has become less frequent, and the
people more sober. Wo have no statis
tics to prove or disapprove this statement,
but it may bo justly assumed to be true.
In the reign of Charles 11., coffee-hous
es were shut up in Loudon by proclama- -
tion, in which it was stated, _ ‘ the retail
ing of coffee nourished sedition, spread
lies, scandalized great men, and mightbo
considered a common nuisance.' This
arbitrary act occasioned violent disturb
ances, and permission was given to open
the coffee-houses again, but tho landlords
were forbid to keep seditious papers on
their premises. The coffee-houses had be
come political clnb-houses.
Four different kinds of coffee are used —
Mocha, which is tho best, comes down
tho Persian Gulf, from Arabia; its berries
are of a middling size, clean and plump,
and of a light greenish-olive hue: it sells
dearer than any other. Tho next best is
Java, which is grown in the island of that
name, and it is cultivated by the Dutch.
The other two kinds are Brazilian and
West India coffee, which are very similar.
A field of coffee in full bloom is a sight
worth going to Jamaica to see.
The quality and effects of coffee differ
according to the manner in which it is
roasted. It must he roasted with great
care and not overdone. The Turks roast
it in an iron spoon, and roast it just be
fore they are going to use it. This is the
best plan, as coffee loses its flavor if ex
posed after being roasted. Tho reason of
this is evident; the roasting brings out
the essential oil to tbo surface, this is vo
latile, and is the fine aromatic quality of
tbo beau: it therefore soon evaporates
when exposed to the atmosphere. To
roast coffee aright it should bo done by
an invention patented a few years ago in
England; It consists in using a copper
drum, silvered inside, into which are
placed tho beaus, and the drum made to
rovolvo above the fire, until tho beaus
are done. It is best not to over-roast
them.
The peculiar principle of coffee is the
caff'ein, which was discovered by Robl
quet in 1821; it is a very active principle,
and affects tho urinary organs. Water
saturated with coffee was first used by
Grindal, in the Russian Hospital of Dor
bat, in tho treatment of intermittent fe
vers ; it was also given as a powder, raw.
In eighty cases, not one resisted its ef
fects,. Homoeopathic practitioners also
uso it with success.
As an article of diet, and as a beverage,
coffee has become quite a favorite, if we
may judge.from the quantity consumed.
No less than 144,986,81)5 lbs. wore import
ed into the United States in 1850; the val
ue of this was $11,215,099. No country
in the world consumes so much coffee, in
proportion to its inhabitants, as ours, —
Thus, last year, the average amount of
coffee consumed by each man, woman,
and child was over seven pounds. The
consumption of coffee has greatly increas
ed in England, and it does not appear
that the fears of the old English matrons,
about their sons becoming monkeys by
its use, are yet realized.'
Coffee is now very generally used by
all Europeans as well as the old Turks,
and almost ail American families, for a
breakfast beverage. Its effects upon the
human system may be peculiar, but gen
eral use has not yet developed anything
extraordinary produced by it, except it
may bo the healthy appearance and rug
ged strength of some French miners, who
use it in large quantities. This fact was
brought before Academy of Sciences in
Paris last year. In some armies and na
vies, coffee has been wisely substituted
for grog; it would be well if this were the
case in every single instance: In cold
weather coffee is an agreeable and safe
stimulant. It was noticed that those
French soldiers who had saved some cof
fee and sugar during the terrible retreat
from Moscow, stood the cold much better
than those who had none.
Every family should buy their own
beans and roast and grind them, for much
of our ground colleo is also adulterated
with roasted corn and peas. These adul
terations are not the least unhealthy : but
there is no earthly use of any body pay
ing for corn instead of coffee, and if any
body wishes to adulterate their own cof
fee, why they can do it to suit themselves.
Coffee effects the nerves of some people
in a most singular manner, by making
them nervous and feverish. No person
so affected should use it. As a general
thing foralmostevery person, webelieve it
healthy and pleasant beverage. In Eng
land all the coffee is adulterated with
yellow dock-root, ground up along with
the beans; the law allows of this adul
teration, and yet, for all this, the coffee
there sells for about double the price it
does in the United States.
When wo reflect upon the great quan
tity of coffee now consumed by us- every
year, now'that the consumption has in
creased from a little over four millions of
pounds in 1790, to over one hundred and
forty-four millions of pounds in 1850, we
cannot shut our eyes to the seeming ne
cesity of growing coffee for ourselves.
Our Southern States Can surely raise
good coffee ,* they beat the world for cot
ton and rice, both of which were intro
duced from foregin countries; and coffee,
wo think, can be as sucessfullycultiyated ns
these have been. —Scientific American .-
