COFFEE.

Coffee drinkers will perhaps like to read
the following description of the process of
raising coffee and preparing it for market,
in Havana, which we extract from one of the
entertaining "Ieroglyphics" in the New
Orleans Picayune
"The seed is first planted in nursery, as
it we're; while it is sprouting up into IA young
tree or plant, the field for its transportation
sometimes covering hundreds of acres-is
being weeded and prepared. When the
saplings attain the proper age and growth,
they are taken up and planted for perma-
nenl purposes in the coffee field. They are
put down in rows at distances from each 9TH
or of from four to six feet ongitudinally, and
from SIX to eight feet lalitudinally. Here
they remain until they are worn out, bearing
coffee in some soils for period as long as
twenty years. The field being thus planted,
the whole of the planters attention, year af-
ter year, is now directed, first to keeping the
plantation clean, and entirely free from weeds,
for this is indispcnsibly necessary to the good
and wholesome growth of the trees, next in
trimming the trees, so as to prevent them
reaching higher attitude than the coffee can
be plucked from them by the hand, or ex-
tending their branches too wide, thereby pre-
venting the pickers from passing so easily
around them. Secondly, in plucking or pick
ing offthe coffee berries from the tree at the
proper season; and thirdly, in preparing it
for market. The wedding is done with great
care-not so much as a single blade of grass
is 10 be discovered among the coffee trees,
covering entire acres, and thus the whole
power ofthe soil, which is of heavy reddish
color, preserved for their nourshment.
Round the bounds of the coffee field, and at
convenient distances through them, there are
walks or avenues, the margins of which are
laid out with great taste, and planted with
palm, orange, and other trees, giving il great
beauty indeed, coffee plantation seems
to be nothing more or less than an overgrown
but well tended garden. 1t affords surpas-
sing sweet perfume, and when the trees are
in flower, when the berries are red-some
still being green-it is picturesque beyond
any thing
As the tree does not send forth all its bios
SONS simultaneously y, portion of berries be-
come ripe before the rest, and hence the pro-
cess of picking is repeated at different times.
The blossom first shoots forth in the latter
part of April or May, and next in the latter
part of May or the early part of June. The
berry first assumes green hue, and as it be-
comes more ripe it changes to deep red.
The pulling is performed in August and Sep

the coffee for market is this; II is first pla.

BABOONS.

On the hills adjacent to the Cape oil
Good Hope, these creatures are to be found
in vast numbers. On remarkably fine days,
they assemble in regiments, and with all the
order observed by military at drill. In gen.
eral they approach the height of six feet ;
and certainly, in features and habits. resem-
BILE the human species more than any other
quadrupeds in existence, the Orang- Outang
not excepted. During the late rendezvous
of the 22d English regiment of foot at the
Cape, several ren-contres occurred between
the soldiers and Balloons, whose ,hieving
propensities we're source of constant alarm
10 every human being within the immediate
range OF their numerous caverns. The en-
suing narrative is from gentlemen who was
an eyewitness to the scene:
sour barracks we're situated at the foot
of a range of hills inhabited by these ras-
Gals. Whenever the soldiers went on pas
rade, they were compelled, in self.detence
to leave posse of sentnels to protect their
property; Notwithstanding which, their fur
tive neighbors, The Balloons, frequently stole
and carried off their blankets, great coats,
or any other garments on which they could
lay their paws. A poor soldiers wife had
washed her blanket and hung il out to dry
Scarcely had she turned her back, when
one Of these miscreants, ever on the watch,
stole it, and ran off with it to the hills, which
are high and woody. This act drew on then,

A TYPE SETTING MACHINE.

by touching certain keys like those of pi-
ano, set type with almost inconceivable ra-
pidty. He has another machine for distribu-
ting the type. This will prove worse than
rafting among tic ompositors.-U. s. Gaz.
We do not think so. We saw and exam
ined the models of both machines in this city,
and admired them greatly for their ingenuity
and the beauty of their movements. But,
while we believe that The machines will ac-
complIsh one of the objects intended. we
doubt whether they will the other. That Isl
we believe that they may be used for setting
and distributing the type but we 90 not ne
lieve that they will expedite the labor. Inc
types and spaces may be placed by Inc ma
chine in lines; but the machine cannot Jus
tify the Iines-whch is always consIdera-
Bile portion of the compositor's labor. This
term "justify will not be understood by
un- lettered readers without a particular ex-
PLANTATION. Every line in the column Of a
newspaper, or in the page Of book, must
be exactly of the same length-to the space
of hair now when the compositor is set
ting his types, on coming to the end Of the
line it seldom-very seldom-happens that
the line can be exactly filled by the word he
is setting up. He must then either space out
as it is called-that is, put wider spaces be-
tween the words in the entire lne-or make
more room by taking out the ordinary spa
ccs between the words and inserting thinner
ones-ofien, moreover, being obliged to d.
vide the word at the end of the line, if it b'
not monosyllabe. Sometimes the Who'll,
line must be very spaced, to ge, IN

YANKEE INGENUITY.- gentleman resid
ing near our city, in beautiful country resi-
dence, was DESTROYS of dwelling of his lawn
around his house, when much TO his annoy
ance, his workmen found huge rock so neat
the surface, as to render a removal OF II alb
solutely necessary. This rock was real
hard headed boulder, weighing, perhaps, sew
eral tons and if j, had been only one foot
lower in the earth it would not have been an
obstruction 10 the required level of the lawn,
but how to get rid of that foot was puzzle
to blast it was impracticable, for The house
was too near. Some knowing ones advised
burning, and then, by throwing on water,
decompose 1t; some thought hot cider would
do the needful others went SO far as to re-
commend Brandrelh's Pills, and Mofatt's
Lotions, that in time might cork it off,
In the extremity Of this perplexty !ank
slabsided Yankee presented himself, and al
ter talking with the proprietor, who was all
for lawn, Though above a pun,) says he,
esquire, what will you give now, if l put
that eternal rock out of your way, or as much
ont as is necessary 10 secure your level ~
"Why," says the Squire, "ifyou can man
age to get rid Of about one foot Of the top of
that rock withou. blasting and will agree to
have it done within week, I'll give you
so much" "That's hard bargain" says
Jonathan, :" to one Of US, but III risk it,
And he Off Jacket and went to word with
spade, and before sunset Of the same day he
had dug hole alongside of that rock deep
enough for the purpose, and then taking a
rail for pry, he tumbled it from its bed
heels over head into the pit-where it now
lies two feet below the required level.-On
pockeling the sum agreed upon, says he,
" Squire, told you that was hard bargain
for one of US; but seeing that have given
you notion how to get rid of another such
crtter in case you meet one in your lawn,
it is almost equal to paten, right, aint 1t 7"
And with that he bowed off and departed,
leaving the gratIfed proprietor in admiration
of that wonderful down east mother wit, that
seems ever ready to grapple with and over
come all difficulties, and in all "hard bar
gains" generally manages to keep on the
safe side.-American.

| CURIOUS TAX.-The Louisville Journal has
an article three columns long headed "The
Act Of the last Legislature tor Confiscating
Public Property" The amount of the act re.
ferred to is this. and is found in the eighth and
ninth sections of the act Of last session EMIT
led "An Acf 10 add 10 the resources Of The sink.
ing fund" The first of these sections provides
"thal, when person dies, leaving neither faith.
err, mother, child, or grandchld, the title to his
real estate shall not pass TO, nor his personal
property be distributed among, his brothers and
sisters, until they have paid fire per cent. on the
full value thereof TO the Commonwealth nor
to nephew, nieces, uncles, or aunts, Till they
have paid seren and a half per cent, nor to
remoter kindred till they have paid len per cent"
This is adding to the resources of the Sink
ing Fund with vengeance. The Common.
wealth makes itself co-heIr in every mans es-
tate, where there happens to be no father or
direct descendant in the family down to grand
children. That is; the Commonwealth OF Ken.
lucky very coolly tells every rich old bachelor
that she is very nearly related TO him, and must
have from five to ten per cent. on all his proper.
ty. Nay, a man cannot leave his property TO
his wife without paying or 10 dollars on
hundred, so that if he is worth 100000. the
Commonwealth comes in for $4,000 or $50.
600. II man wishes to leave any part of his
estate to benevolent institution for the relief
of the poor, the Commonwealth Of Kentucky
coolly pockets 5or 10 per cent of j, first. TO
crown this legislative blunder, laughable to all
except the sufferer, the State appoints an agent
to value this property. of which she is one Of
the heirs. II we were to use a Kentucky
phrase we should call this law sc'edmer.
